GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

SOCIALIST OK ATOR TELLS
OF PEOPLE'S TROUBLES.
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

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.

good at all points In this division, It

PHO AMEHICANISM STRONG
IV FAIl AUSTRALIA
Melbourne, Sept. 17. Pro-Amerl-canlsm
Is the dominant note In the
Australian federal session opening to
day. The entire country Is con
vinced that the fleet's recent visit has
Inaugurated a kind of unofficial al
liance between Australia and the
great American republic. In white
against yellow struggle which many
Australians deem Inevitable for con
trol of. the Pacific It Is the general
conviction that Americans and Aus
tralians will fight side by side. Many
members argue that It Is practically
useless for the colony to prepare for
war alone.

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. The adju
tant general's office was today ad
vised of the death from Asiatic chol
era In. the Philippines of Bert T.
Christian, Company I, Twenty-sixth
regiment of Infantry. This Is the first
Information which has reached the
department for some days regard
ing any case of cholera In the Islands;
the responsible officers about three
weeks ago, In response to Inquiries
from Washington having reported
that the outbreak at Pangasinan was
under control.
If was there an army officer and
several men of the Twenty-seventh
regiment of Infantry (negro) died of
the disease. At the surgeon general's
office no fear is felt of the disease
spreading to any extent and much
less that the army would suffer se
riously If It did so. The disease, the
officers say, Is easily prevented by
the adoption of proper sanitary pre
cautions. A dispatch received at the war de
partment from Havana says there Is
one real and one suspected case of
yellow fever here.
