James PIicIjm Stokes, Wealthy Settle ment Worker aitd Socially, Speaks for Party at Court House La Eve ning Says Workers Are Merely Pensioners Subsisting on What Wealth Will Give Socialistic plan of Remedy. That the owners in the great mod ern corporations are distinctly para sites was the declaration of James Phelps Stokes. "Little Brother of the Rich," millionaire and former club man, but now settlement worker and leader of the "parlor socialists" who last night addressed a meeting at the court house on the subject of so cialism. Stokes' delivery was clear, his man ner, except for the eastern Intonation of his speech, magnetic, and his rea soning perhaps the clearest exposition of socialistic principles ever made to Pendleton people. The millionaire socialist spoke rapidly and enthusias tically picturing the woes of the working classes with the resistless urge of nn ascetic reformer. The principles enunciated were radical rather than Incendiary and Mr. Stokes made his appeal through j clearness rather than sensationalism. I COLDS The very hour a cold time to check It.

Our customers and the public at large feel more. at home in our bank than any In the county, why because we make their Interest our Interests. If you have money to deposit or need money, come In and see us. Commercial National Bank United States Depository His brief talk for socialism embraced these thoughts: That the producer is entitled to en Joy the wealth he creates and that it Is the duty of society to see that he does. That in working toward this end socialism Is the highest type of Individualism. Few people are permitted to enjoy the benefits of their products, not even the disposal of them. Under the present conditions the worker must produce as much wealth for the Idler as for himself. That the owner or capitalist now rarely participates In the manufac ture of a product either by brainwork or otherwise. Such a system makes the worker In effect a pensioner depending upon the bounty of the capitalist for what ever he may be allowed. Under the alleged existence of such conditions owners as represented by stockholders are distinctly parasitic upon modern Industries. After provision Is made for capital so little Is left that the average wage Is less than $500 per year. The socialist alleging these facts seeks to remedy them by securing to the worker the means of production that through controlling them through wise employment he may se cure to himself the full return of his labor. Mr. Stokes closed his address by declaring that there was no desire on the part of the socialists to limit the amount of wealth a person may produce or enjoy, nor to divide up the wealth produced by the Industri ous among the unindustrlous, nor to limit wealth in any manner so long as It remained In the hands of the producer thereof or In the hands of those to whom It was given by the producer In fair exchange for valua ble consideration.

PENDLETON SHIPMENTS Or STOCK INCREASE Stock shipments from Pendleton over the line of the Northern Pa cific have been heavier this year than for a number of seasons, according to Walter Adams, the local agent.

DE GAPRlu WK HIGHER HONORS PAIlt HAND DIRECTOR LEO SO USA'S MUSICIANS Furnished Music for Fair Two Years Ago nnd Returns This Year With New Laurels Three Soloists of Merit Will Ite With the Rand Tills Year Concerts Every Afternoon nnd Evening. Slgiior Antonio De Caprlo, who with his famous band, Is to furnish music for the coming district fair, will be kindly remembered by local peo ple who heard him during the fair two years ago. At tha time Do Cap rlo had n splendid band and the mu sic they furnished was one of the best attractions of the fair. This year Slgnor De Caprio comes to Pendleton with new fame. Since "v. Slgnor Aiitnnlo Io Caprlo, Whit Will Dlret Rand at District Fair. - he pl.iyed here he has won high hon or" In the musical world. Perhaps the most distinguished occasion In which he has participated was that when lie load Sousn's great band one evening. It was over a year ago and De Caprlo led the band when It played the "Portland Rose Festival March." composed by De Caprlo. Concerning the Incident the Portland Oregoninn said: It would be hard Indeed to say whether the fulsome applause which was rendered to Sousa, the March King, or the undestralned ovation that was given to Slgnor A. DeCaprlo, composer of the "Portland Rose Fes tival" march, was the conspicuous feature of last night's concert at the Armory, which 3000 music lovers at tended. It Is also difficult to say whether loyalty to a local artist did not have much to do with the record breaking crowd which poured and Jammed lis way Inside the massive' building of stone and brick. DeCnprio acquitted himself nobly, that much cannot be gainsaid, for when he stepped on the dlas to which Sousa had led him, and from which the eminent bandmaster had Just re tired, there was resoundng applause and salvos of spontaneous greeting. DeCaprlo had labored long and ardu ously arranging his "Rose Festival" march for a full band of 65 pieces, and had had only one rehearsal, but when he raised his baton the house was hushed and the three-score of Sousa artists swung gracefully Into the march and carried It through to the finish In accurate and rhythmic response to every motion of the lead er's baton. With the DeCaprlo band when It comes here for the fair will be three soloists of ability. DeCaprlo himself Is a baritone sollst, while his other soloists are Slgnor Bianeone, carllon ct, and Mr. Rosebroke, cornetist. CHOLERA IN PHILIPPINES IS NOW UNDER CONTROL Washington, Sept. 17.
