It's Incredible Concentration In the

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Mr. Bryan will be elected IL
Democratic editors and speakers get
certain facts before voters. For ex-
ample: Out of the fifteen million EMIT
led to vote ten men are worth fifty
millions each. and twenty are each
worth twenty-five millions. There are
800 who own one billion of the thirty
six billions on the tax books and also
hold securities for sixteen billions.
which are virtually a mortgage on ali
the property and labor In the country.
Before he surrendered to the present
Republican leaders, Theodore Roose-
welt designated these 1900 men as the
dangerously rich" class. These 5000
men appoint the officials of railroads
and trusts. and these officials endeavor
to pay interest on the mortgage by in
creasing the amount annually extorted
from the public and by decreasing the
amount paid labor, The ablest and
least scrupulous talent is employed to
invent methods to increase the amount
collected from the public, and to keep
the public quiet.
Any n can see that a county debt
is a mortgage on all the property in
the county, anu, if the debt is held
abroad, the annual interest is so much
money leaving the community and 60
ing to another community. II secur-
tiles are held by n class, the annual
interest leaves one class and goes to
another class.

Fictitiousc capitalization.

When stock is issued to build a
bridge, the amount should be limited
to the cost of the bridge. But, il the
travel will yield $4,000 a year, $780,
900 OF stock will be issued. Should
the public be tolled to pay interest on
500, 900, when the bridge cost only
10000? Congress fixed the tariff to
prevent foreign competition with
American steel makers. These steel
makers formed a trust, and thereby
prevent domestic competition. The
Carnegie steel works cost only s., 0O0,-
0o0, and are capitalized for $500, 000.-
600. Whoever uses steel contributes 10
pay interest on the securities represent
ing this trust. 1t is estimated that, IL
a laboring man has five in a family, an
advance of 5 per cent on the price Of
| articles controlled by trusts, costs him
three days work. No n item looks
large, but the aggregate during twelve
months will astonish those who have
not considered the subject. He con-
tributes three days each year to pay
interest on securities which do not rep
resent any outlay of capital. As soon
as attention Is called TO 1t, every one

W. D. Kay.

W. D. Kay, prominent citizen
of Benton county, died at his home
one mile west of Monroe, Saturday.
The cause of death was cancer of
the stomach. Mr.. Kay was born in
Louisville, KY, March 81, 1886,
and came to California in 1858. In
1859 he started for Oregon on the
fated ship Northener, and was one
of the few survivors of the memor-
able wreck of that vessel at Cape
Mendocino. During the excitement
attending the laundering of this
ship Mr.. Kay jumped into the surf,
was Immediately caught around the
feet by man much larger than
himself, and swan to shore with
his burden, where both exhausted
and almost lifeless, were soon re-
stored. May 13, 1866, he was
united in marriage to Mrs. John M.
Davis, and to this couple six child
rem " ere born, two are dead. Those
living are H. Ed Kay, W. Hugh
Kay, Mrs. Sidney Evans ard Mrs.
Mel G. Evans, all of whom reside
near Monroe. The wife survives
him. Mr.. Kay was a member of
the Christian church and of the
Grange.

, For several years the demo
cratic party managers in this
county have traded every other
candidate On their ticket for votes
to enable them to elect their clerk
and sheriff. The same tactics
are being prepared by them fo,
operation in the present election.
Only few days ago one near tc
the party managers approached
a republican offering to vote fol
a certain republican candidate
providing that the republican SC
approached would vote for the
democratic clerk. The republi.
can who allows himself to be SC
humbugged by the political
jockey will practically lose his
vote. The political vote jockey
approaches possibly dozen Oh
twenty voters on the other side
and offers to vote their way pro.
viding that they will vote fof
certain man whom he names,
and thus if the pledge is kept by
all he perhaps gets twenty, o.
the other side to vote for his clerk
while he gives one vote to a re
publican. Republicans certainly
must have better judgment thar
to be drawn Into such traps,
Under this and similar tactic:
the democrats have been able te
elect sheriff and clerk with re
publican voters. For some time
they have offered to trade off pop
u1ist nominees On the fusion
ticket to get republicans to vote
for democrats.

DecorGtiOn Day.

The Grand Army veterans, members
of the Wcman's Relief Corps and sol
diers of the late war assembled in body
at the Evangelical church together with
the congregations OF other denomina-
tions last Sunday to hear the eloquent
pastor of that church excel himself in
his memorial tribute to our heroic dead.
The church was packed, the standing
room and all available space being filed
with devoted audience. Rev. Myron
Boozer made most profound appeal for
the preservation of the American Sab
bath and our American system CT free
public schools, as the principal factors
and agencies for the preservation of our
republic and christian civilization
Upon the rostrum were assembled the
clergymen OF all the other churches of
our city who participated in the devo-
tional exercises of the service which
were interspersed with appropriate music
we'll rendered.
In the evening the Veterans and Wo-
mans Relief Corps by invitation of DR..
Thompson assembled in body at his hos
pitable church. Rarely has the Presby-
terian church entertained more strictly
representative audience than appeared at
that service. Upon the church walls
were hung the banners and flags of the
Grand Army as their offerings in COM
memoration of Memorial Day. Dr.
Thorn psou is always eloquent and i'm
pressive, but never more than on this
occasion when he paid his rich tribute to
our heroic dead and to the noble patriotic
women who have organized themselves
all over our land to perpetuate their
memory. He discoursed ON "Memor-
ials," calling attention to the historic
memorials of ancient as we'll as of modern
times-memorials in art, science and lit
erature, memorials which give distinc-
ton to the great events of every historic
epoch both civic and military.
Wednesday, Decoration Day, the regu-
lar memorial exercises were conducted
under the auspices of the G. A. R. and
spanish War Veterans. This is the first
time the latter organization has observed
the day, and their presence gave greater
significance and added interest to the oc-
casion.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the parade, COM
posed of the cadet band, cadet battalion,
Woodmen, school children, G.. A. R.,
Spanish War Veterans, W. R. C..and
citizens, formed at the G. A. R. hall and
moved to the Crystal Lake cemetery.
Here the beautiful service of the Grand
Army was performed; a firing squad of
cadets saluted with three volleys, and
the bugle sounded taps.
In the evening an appropriate program,
consisting of music, recltations and an
able address by Superintendent Denman,
was rendered at the Methodist church;
concluding the exercises in the obserya-|
ton of this dearest day to all Americans.
