The national banks have taken away
from the Government the Money System
of our forefathers, have modified the Con-
stitution by Treasury rulings and Con-
gressiona1 acts, and have become the in
satiable tyrants of the financial world.
With their Money Trust they have the
power to smite the prosperity of great
nation and lay it low, as they have done
in the Panic of 1907 and 1908
Who Did You This Tremendous Wrong?
THOU ART THE MAN.
You neglected your duty; you kept I'M
faithful agents in office; you worshipped
party names you crouched to the party
lash; you read the lies of corporation
sheets and believed them; you would
not take the trouble to read both sides
and thus get at the truth; you mistook
your blind political prejudice for high
minded patriotism; you rejected those
who tried to show you the error of your
way, and you continued to follow those
who were voting your ruin-voting I'm
told billions of dollars to the benefciaries
OF Special Privilege, and remembering
you with a copy of speech that was
probably not made, and by sending you
five packages of doubtful garden seed.
Why is it that the manufacturers and
the national bankers and the railroad
magnates can show such fabulous riches
when the farmers who produce most of
the wealth, have none?
Because the laws have been made in
the interest of the privileged few. How
did they manage it?
By giving it their attention.
What do these pampered pets Of class
legislation most desire?
That the farmers will continue to take
no interest in politics, and continue to be
careless as to the conduct Of their agents
Of course, if you, Brother Farmer, are
very anxious to keep on doing just as
those who rob you want you to do, you
will "stay out of politics.
Most farmers will readily agree that
if they want good crops they must give
their attention to the business; but the
same men can not be brought to under
stand that if they want legislation that is
good for them THEY MUST GIVE
THEIR ATTENTION TO THE BUSI-
NESS.

The President S Plea for a Big
Vaby.

In arguing for four new battle-ships,
the President named China as an illustra
ton of the danger of being nationally
weak and rich. Because China had no
navy and was rich other nations, which
had big navies and big appetites for loot,
plundered her. Therefore, to escape the
fate of China, the United States must feed
more millions to the Steel Trust, and keep
on doing it until we are Hobsonized to
the extent of Hobson's "Billion Dollar
Navy
We don't think very much of the Pres
ident's argument about China. In the
first place, it is an insult to the great

And how can you know what sort OF
legislation you want unless you take the
trouble to study public questions?
Your member of the state legislature

you would do had you yourself gone there

game laws, and SIGH
Do you know what your agent did in
the legislature?
If not, why not as Sidney Tapp in
quires in the matter Of subscribing to his
virile magazine
Every vote that your agent cast in the
legislature bound you to something or
other-do you know what it was?
Agents who are not watched sometimes
misuse their opportunity and their au-
thority. Agents who are never called to
account are seldom true to their trust
If you have not been keeping up with
the doings of the men whom you have
been selecting as your agents in the leg
islature, haven't you been doing yourself
an injustice?
Your Congressman is also your agent
For the reason that the tens of thousands
of people in Congressional District can
not go to Washington to attend to their
national affairs, they all agree upon an
agent who is sent in their place. The
agent is called Congressman, but he is
nothing more than substitute who acts
in the place Of the tens of thousands who
couldn't 60 This Congressional agent is
in duty bound to represent the people
who choose him, and to vote as they
would vote had they themselves gone to

Does your agent in Congress vote as
you want him to vote? What do you
know about his vote, anyway? Have
you kept an eye on him? Have you re-
quired him to give an account of his stew
ardship?
Here is the truth about it: You do not
know how your agents have been voting,
either in the legislature or in Congress;
and, what's more, you have acted as if
you didn't care.
What has been the result of your indif-
ference-your failure to look after your
agents?
Nearly $2oo,ooo,ooo of your taxes has
been confscated to the use of the national
banks, the climax of policy which was
begun under Grover Cleveland, the Dem
ocrat and which has continued with the
sanction of both of the old parties.

MIR. SHAW ON SOUP HOUSES.
EngineIess Cars - Former
Secretary Talks.

Former Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, in Michigan last spring, made
interesting comment on panics as fol-
lows:
lover 100000 freight cars standing
empty on the tracks; 5000 locomotives
out of commission; one-quarter of the
population of several large cities idle,
and, for the first time in Republican
administration, free soup houses"
Hide Must Go With the Hair.
In Secretary Shaw's case, the hide
must go with the hair; that is, his
comment on economic conditions must
be taken zen semble," as the theatre
cal critics say. His soundness on bank
guarantee must accompany equally
sound opinion on other mooted ques-
tions. Now that Mr.. Taft. against
whom Mr.. Shaw labored, has been
nominated, Mr.. Shaw might obtain
leave to extend his remarks in the
record" and embellish his terse state
ment relative to soup houses.
He will easily overcome Democratic
objection, and perhaps can get unani-
nous consent, under the rules.

SHERMAN ACCEPTS BLAME
Republican Vice Presidential Candi-
date Drawn Out by Congress-
man De Almond.

On the word Of James Schoolcraft
Sherman, Republican vice presidential
candidate, full responsibility for con-
gress' failure to enact many needed
laws must be assumed by the Repub-
lican party.
April 8. 1908. in the house, as printed
in the Congressional Record. Repre-
sentative David A. De Almond, OF
Missouri, said:
.When the question Is asked any
where in the country-and it viii be
asked-why was not this measure
considered. why was not that meas
ure passed. why was not the other
measure brought up? there is one an
swer, and only one: Because the Re-
publican majority in this house willed
that it should not be considered, should
not be brought up, slt'uld not be
passed We can stand upon that rec
ord. 1t Is well known that there is
Pressure In the country, and very great
pressure. for the consideration and
passage of number of important
measures. 1t is well known that a
large majority of the voting strength
OF the country is insistent upon the
consideration and the passage of i'm
portanf measures. Do not go to them
again, as you have done so often and
SO successfully, and endeayor TO de-
Jude them into the belief that some
how you could not get consideration
for the measure and somehow you
could not pass it. You can have con
sideration, because yeu have the pow
er to enforce 1t; and, so far as meritori-
Gus measures are concerned, as has
been demonstrated here more than
once and will be demonstrated again,
and abundantly demonstrated, you
have only to express the will, you have
only to give the opportunity, and IL
you lack the votes upon that side, as
you do not, there will be an abundant
addition here
Sherman Admits 1t.
The same day, replying, Mr. Sher
man said:
The gentleman from Missouri in
ates that the Republican side of the
hse desires to do away with the roll
calls because Of some fear of making
a record upon some question before
the house. Mr.. Speaker, the Republic
en- party in the house, the Republican
party in this nation, is prepared today
to accept full responsibility, not only
for everything that is done. but for
that which is not done in the way Of
legislation and administration. APP
plause on the Republican side.l We
recognize the fact, sir, that this gov
eminent today is Republican In all its
branches. We recognize the fact that
we have Republican president, brave.
wise, and courageous. We recognize
that we have a Republican majority
in the senate. that we haveea Republic
an majority in this house that is ready
10 resort to every legal, every proper
constitutional right to enact such leg
islation as it deems for the best in
terest for the greatest number of Cur
people, and which is willing and ready

here and which are enacted into law"

Der Denounces Deal With Steel
Trust Last October.

When the Trust Company of
America, New York, was in trouble
last October, a representative of the
steel trust went to Washington and
obtained consent of the administration
for the trust to take over its chief
competitor, the Tennessee Iron and
Coal company, as the price of aiding
the Trust Company of America. 1t
was a combination in restraint of
trade, a violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Peculiar Proceeding.
Mr.. Shaw thought this a peculiar
proceeding. as shown By his speech be-

ciatioa May %, 1908, when lie said: 81

FIGHT OVER WATER
Ordinance Fixing Maximum
Amount Used Will Be ATT
tackled in Courts
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SANTA ROSA, Oct 1.-THE constitu-
tionality OF the action OF the city coun-
ell in fixing a maximum to the amount
of water which may be used by prop
erty holder and charging excess for all
water used over has been attacked in
the courts here.
Santa Rosa is one of the few cities
Of the country which owns her water
supply. Last winter an ordinance was
adopted allowing each property owner
in the residence district 10000 gallons
of water monthly and all in excess to
be paid for at rates fixed for those who
used meters.
A number of complications arose and
property owners claimed hardship was
worked where two families resided in
the same building. Owners of large
lawns complained they were given no
more water than small places.
Threats of all kinds were made and
number refused to pay excess wa
bills. The street commissioner finally
began turning off the water from prop
erty holders who failed to pay. ID. b.
Reynolds turned the water on again and
then the meter was removed and he
was left unconnected. He made the con-
nection and was arrested for violation
of the ordinance. A fund was raised.
attorneys retained and a fight is now
to be made covering all the points at
issue, so as to get judicial decision
. on the rights of the city as well as Of
the property holders.
The defendants demurrer to the COM
plant was overruled today and the case
went over until Monday. to be set for
trial.

His Companion Stabbed White
Man, but Made His
Escape

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 14.-Beeause
he had been in the company of one of
his own race who murderously as
saulted a white woman, oliver Nc
Manus, negro, was pursued, dragged
from streetcar and almost beaten to
death by a racetrack crowd late this
afternoon. McManus was one of a par
ty of four colored men. After the
races member of the quartet quarreled
with white man known as Slim over
bet and ended the dispute by stab
bing Slim" in the neck with dirk.
When the assault became known the
crowd in the betting ring chased the
four negroes through the fair grounds
to the gates. There Sims" assailant
drew a revolver and fired toward the
mob. In the recoil which followed he
and two of his companions got away.
McManus was not SO fortunate. The
crowd kept him in sight and maintained
an exciting pursuit through streets,
alleys, yards and residences. McManus
at last boarded a moving streetcar and
the leaders of the mob stopped the car
to drag him from 1t.
Shouting for a rope and failing to get
it the crowd vented it's fury by kicking
and beating the helpless and innocent
colored man almost into insensibility.
He was rescued by the fair grounds po-
lice and taken to the police station.
where his wounds were dressed.

1t is thought his wound will not prove
serious The negro who did the stab
bing is likewise missing.

Through the Head
Officers, Unable to Find Clew,
Are Searching County for
Assassin

STOCKTON, Oct 14.-Joseph Saner, a
prominent farmer of the Gait Newhope
section. was murdered by an unknown
early this morning. The remains were
found on the Sacramento side of the
dry creek with bullet hole through
the head The place where the body
lay was but a mile from the home OF
the deceased. Saner was popular with
every one and absolutely nothing Is
known that could have prompted any
one to seek the life of the farmer. That
the shot was fired at very close range
is evident by the fact that the flesh is
powder burned where the bullet struck
the victim. About a year ago an Ital-
Ian farmer was shot and killed In about
the same place and nothing was ever
learned as to the Identity Of the muir
derer
The officers of San JOAQUIN and Sac
ramento counties are securing the
country for a possible elew, but have
not had any degree of success,
Saner was wealthy and the father OF
a large family. Bloodhounds from
Folsom have been secured to aid in the
search for the murderer.

Bryan says there. were no trusts when
the democrats were last in power. That
was because there was no money in use
in the country at that time.
Il don't think Bryan understands any
practical problem of American bust
ness; / am certain he does not under
stand the trust business. He asks,
What are you going to do about the
trusts?' I think there are laws in oper-
alton now likely to do the trusts more
harm than any that can be enacted by
congress. ] don't think the good God
who left S0,00O,000 of us in this great
market place of the United States is
going to leave us without protection"
ROOSEVELT GIVEN CREDIT
Dolliver explained the laws of con-
sumption and of deferred consumption
as the economic safety valves which
save the country from the trusts by
regulating prices. Then he gave Roose-
welt the credit Of doing the first effect
i've work under the Sherman law and.
going on, ''kidded" Roosevelt, much to
the amusement of the audience.
IF you find q man in Office" he con-
tinued, who has no individuality, look
closely and you'll find cotton string
attached to him, and if you follow the
string care1ully, youn ma at the oth-
er end of it the man who has the in
dividuality."
Dolliver instanced the employers liza
bility law as one Of the fruits of the
Roosevelt administration and told how
it's basis rested on a decision rendered
by Taft when United States circuit
Judge in Ohio. This led the speaker
to pay a tribute to the republican
standard bearer, which was again and
again interrupted by applause.
why did Roosevelt choose Taft as
his SUCCESSOR" he asked and answered
Because he was already chosen as the
logical chief executive by the course
OF human events"
Dolliver told how Mckinley had in
sisted that Taft become governor gen.
eral of the Philippines when Taft had
decided to stay on the bench in Ohio
and how Taft had risked his life by
returning to the islands in obedience
to the call of duty. He told of his
work in Cuba and in Panama, and in
conclusion he connected Taft with Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt as the three great
statesmen of the new and bigger or
der of things in this country.
Not least conspicuous of the three
in his place in history" he ended, will
be that faithful, modest, patriotic

NAPA, Oct. 14.-Strong testimony for
the prosecution was brought out to-
day in the trial of L. H. Lund and j. L.
Shroyer, charged joiifly with the MUIR
Fder of John Woodapple. near this city
last February.
Mrs. Babcock,S Shroyer's daughter,
testified that she overheard CONVEX
sation between her father and Lund,
who was an empIoye of Shroyer, in
which the plot to kill Woodapple was
hatched. The day after the conversa-
tion between Lund and her father, Mrs.
Babcock stated, she followed them to
Woodap2le's cabin, where she saw her
father engage the old man in conver-
Sation.
While Shroyer and woodapple were
talking outside of the cabin, Lund
picked up a neck yoke and struck the
old man over the head with it, telling
him to the ground. They then picked
up the body and carried it into the
house and set the house on fire.
Robert Coombs testified that he went
to Woodapple's cabin near Monticello
in February of this year to see Wood
apple in regard to some wood chopping.
He said that when he reached Wood
apples place he found the cabin burned
to the ground In searching among the
ruins he discovered in the ashes some
of the old mans bones that had not

Shroyer's home and asked Shroyer when
he had last seen Woodapple alive.
Shroyer, according to the testimony
of Coombs, answered that he knew
nothing about the fire. Coombs stopped
with Shroyer all of that night and the
next day notified the coroner.

Mrs. Myrtle Clare Murders j. j.
Lambert and Turns Pis=

Both We're Married and Shoot
ing Is Believed to Have Been
Result of Quarrel

LOS ANGELES, Oct. IA murder
and suicide occurred at 3 o'clock this
morning in a rooming house at 1016
East Seventh street, as a result of
which Mrs. Myrtle Glare, wife of Ira
Clare. am employe of an ice company.
is dead and J. j. Lambert, a conductor
for the Los Angeles railway company,
is at the point of death in the receiv-
ing hospital. The police believe that
the woman shot the man and then
slew herself, although the evidence as
to which one did the shooting is not
conclusive
The couple went to the rooming
house shortly before o'clock this
morning, and few minutes later a
shot was heard in the room. A few
seconds later second shot was heard
and a scream, which aroused other
roomers in the house and brought them
to the room. The body of the woman
was lying on the floor partially un-
dressed. She had received a pistol bull
let through the left breast and was
dying. She expired few minutes
later. Lambert was lying on the floor
with a bullet hole in his head. The
revolver with which the shooting had
been done was between the two on
the foot. Lambert had removed all of
his clothing, evidently preparatory to
retiring.
Both the man and woman were mar
ried. Mrs. Glare left her husband when
she met Lambert, some months ago,
and had applied for a divorce.
1t is stated by the police that Mrs.
Glare did not know at that time that
Lambert was married. The latter $
wife is a clerk at the Clarendon hotel.
When Mrs. Clare learned that Lam
bert had deceived her and already had
a wife living she resolved to end both
of their lives. Mrs. Clare, it is said.
was shortly to have become a mother.
She was about % years of age. Lam
bert came here some time ago from
Denver and Pueblo.
