THE CELEBRATION FAILED.

The celebration which was to
have been held at Kansas City last
Saturday, August 10th, in honor
of eightieth anniversary of Mis-
souri's statehood was called off a
few days before the day set for it.
The trouble was that all the speak
ers invited to participate in the pro-
gram were Democratic politicians,
and the people of Kansas City con-
ceived the idea that the occasion
was only to be made one of Demo
cratic self f-laudation and refused to
put up money to defray the neces-
sary expenses of the celebration. I.
Hence the whole thing was given
up.

GAVE HIM A DIFFERENT RECEPTION.

GAVE HIM A DIFFERENT RECEPTION.
Vice President Roosevelt made a
second visit to- Victor, COL, one
day last week. The newspaper
reports say that he was received
with IN enthusiastic welcome of
fully 10000 people, who greeted
him with blowing steam whistles
and blasts of dynamite to show
their appreciation of the honor by
his visit. Last September Mr..
Roosevelt was in Victor on his
first visit, but his reception was
not SO flattcring. He was then on
a campaign tour, and Republicans
were scarce in Victor at that time.
The people would not listen to him
and even assaulted him, an act
which gave the town, which before
that event was almost unknown, Il
worldwide, but unenviabIc repu-
tation for hoodlumism.

REPUBLICAN ROTTENNEss IN Me-


Out in Omaha they are still talking
about the Doodle used in the last cam
paign, and It is not tho Democrats
who are making the charges either.
A special dispatch to the Washing
ton Post says.
When q man holds an Office at the
hands Of the Republican party he is
in duty bound to support the candi-
dates and should not have to be
bought, and yet we had to buy Office
holders last year. The national COM
mittee had to send several thousand
dollars to Omaha.
Can you imagine anything more
disgraceful? Now, my friends, l have
probably talked too much out OF
school.
These were the remarks made by
Edward Rosewater, late Republican
candidate for the United States sem
atorship at an Eighth ward Repub-
llcan meeting Tuesday night as quoted
in his own paper.
Today when an interview was nrst
obtainable, Mr.. Rosewater was asked
to specify Federal officials who were
paid doodle" He replied, Most all OF
them were against the ticket. / had to
notify Mark Hanna, and he sent q
man out here These fellows accepted
the Doodle but refused to do anything
for the ticket. will not name any
particular one Of them"
As Mr.. Rosewater is the editor of
the principal Republican newspaper
and had a great deal to do with the
management Of the last campaign he
doubtless would not make these
charges II they we're not true.

perfidy to their party and Of accept

THE POWER OF TRUSTS AND COR
PORATIONs.


There are thousands Of voters who,
because they are not smart enough TO
see how the trusts and corporations
are fleeing them persist in voting for
the politicians who are the agents and
tools of the trusts. Every county In
the United States has a gang at the
county seat with strikers in every
township who are always on the side
of the corporations and against the
people, yet they are often, In fact,
generally, allowed to run caucuses and
conventions OF the Republican party.
Whichever party is in the maj1rity It
Is tolerably certain to have these
parasites hanging on to It, though
since the Democratic party has diyorc.
ed itself from the money power they
have left 1t like rats from sinking
ship, The power Of the corporations
Is so great, says the Nebraska Inde-
pendent that it takes almost super
human struggles to wrest any of their
special privileges from them They
command the services OF the most
skilful lawyers in every part Of the
country and endless litigation is in
stituted to prevent the people from
regainlng their rights everywhere. AT
the special election held in Denver,
August 2S the property holders Of
that city, by vote Of 6,2S4 to ,2G7
for the second time approved bonh
'ssue for the purpose of buying the
city water plant, The amount is
S2,000,000, The company's revenues
amounted to about 500 900 a month
and the net profits of the city, under
the present schedule Of rates are pac.
ed at $4,000 a month, or Sl56 000 n
year, besides furnishing free waie,
for fire hydrants,
A vote of five to one by the pcop'e
Is not sufficient against a great cor
poration, The old vote was pract,'
cally the same, but the water company
succeeded In putting veto upon il by
appeals to the courts and finally u
Wall street to prevent the sale Of the
bonds. 1t should be remembered that
no great industrial enterprise can be
entered into in these days without the
consent of Wall street, IL 1t reQuirei
any great amount of capital, That
gang of highwaymen will refuse to list
securities and prevent the sale OF
bonds If it Is not to their liking. The
great struggle that Senator Clark is
making will prove whether 1t is pos
sible for a railroad to be built any
where in the United States against
the wishes Of Rockefeller and his gang
Of financial highwaymen.
Hutchinson gazette., 1901-10-24

One Of the reasons glssI or the In
crease OF capital OF New York and
other banks Is the call for immense
loans that under the national banking
law cannot be made by banks with a
small capital, though they may have
an enormous reserve fund The law
allows only one tenth Of the capital
of bank to be loaned to any person
or corporation,
The consolidation Of the great banks
still continues. The First National
Bank Of New York has absorbed the
National Bank of the Republic, The
latter institution is one OF the eleven
or twelve largest banks in the New
York clearing house association.
This concentration of capital by the
financial magnates foreshadows the
formation of the much talked Of
money trust, which, in fact, has been
already secured by the community Of
interest plan, somewhat similar In
scope to the railroad combination.
The amount Of money controlled by
the consolidated bank mentioned
above is equal to, II 1t does not exceed
the capital Of the United States bank
at the time Of the veto Of Its re-char-
ter by President Jackson when its
capital was thirty-hve millions, Of
which the government owned seven
million.
The most dangerous features to the
people of these vast cancellations OF
the money power is the reaching out
into the interior Of the country for the
control Of banks in the leading cities
other than New York, The Rookie
feller combination has already secured
one of the principal banks in Cincin-
natl and Kansas City and there may
be many other banks controlled by
them that have not come to light. The
power OF the United States bank in
shaping political matters in the time
of President Jackson, though then
considered enormous, was very tri-
fling compared to the vast power that
can be exercised today by the united
money power OF Wal street This was
shown in the campaign Of 1896 and
since that time their power has large
ly increased through consolidation
and the community Of interest plan"
That the financial affairs of the
United States government Is in their
power will be at once seen by the vast
loans that have been made to them
and that they continue to enjoy with
out interest and the purchase by the
government Of bonds at the enormous
premiums Of 40 per cent to aid them
in controlling the money and stock
market, and allowing them to retain
the customs and internal revenue col
lectons for an indefinite time also
without interest.
At the going rate Of Interest Of from
to per cent on call and time
money 1t will be seen what large gift
the interest on these millions is to the
favored banks. AS long as these IA
vors are shown by the Republicans to
the money power, the financial Ques-
ton is not settled by any means.

The explanation given out by tie
directors of the census about the

enumeration would seem to cast seri

have a non-partisan census taken by

political hangers-on of congressman.

probable that the Republican conspir-
