The editorial room opens upon the composing room, where half a dozen men or more are hard at work all night. The Demo crat is a six-column, four-page paper metropolitan in it's makeup, paper fol the people, The eight page weekly edit ion, Saturday morning, is a separate sheet, issued independently of the regu lar Saturday daily.
