Three weeks ago the editor of this paper
put in new printing press with the idea
of enlarging the paper and improving it in
form and make up. Since that date we
have had plenty of trouble. First one
complication and then another arose to
make our days interesting and nights per-
picking. But we have kept our troubles
to ourselves as much as possible-kept them
out of the paper, at least-until now, when
the difficulties have been surmounted, and
we present the DEMOCRAT in new shape
confident that as soon as our readers be-
come familiar with the new makeup they
will be pleased with the change-if they are
not at first sight We expected our i'm
provements to begin and end with new
horse Otto gas engine has taken the place of
our old two-and-a-half horse gas power,
giving us power sufficient TO drive our
three presses and folder at the same time
without straining boil. The changes
made make the GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEM
ocRAT the largest weekly newspaper print
ed in New jersey South of Trenton, and in
such form as not to be cumbersome to
readers, while the additions to our plant
make it among the most modern and COM
plete in the State
The tendency Of the modern newspaper
is to void starving their readers in the
amount of reading matter furnished, in
other words to increase the reading space
1t had seemed to US that the time had ar
rived for us to give our readers larger and
better paper, and without shouting our
purpose from the housetop, or magnifying
our effort with columns of ink, we have
accomplished the change. The immediate
expense of this change is considerable, it
also involves a great increase in fixed ex-
penditure which we hope will be met by
increased patronage.
It is our purpose to furnish our patrons
with the best newspaper to give those
who favor us with their advertising patron
age the benefit of the greatest number of
readers, and those who patronize our job
printing department, we will receive prompt
service and full value

cnamperlain,s Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great popu-
larity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
not only cures colds and grip effectually
and permanently, but prevents these dis
eases from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this remedy
is given. It contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to baby as to an adult. It is
facts are taken into consideration it is not
surprising that people in foreign lands, as
we'll as at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used IT. For sale

The Constitution says this week.-Mrs.
is better qualified to represent Gloucester
County in the Legislature than Mr.. David
son and the Republican voters of Glouces-
ter have only to glance at the noble record
of their present representative to corrobor-
ate the truthfulness of this assertion" and
continuing says "by Mr.. Avis direct in
fuence $1,000 was turned into the county
treasury" That is evidently the extent
of Mr.. Avis mobile record" in the legisa-
ture, and that he or his friends claim any
especial credit for him for that is rather a
reflection on the honor of the State admin
istraticn than otherwise. If it requires a
lawyer legislator to have an honest claim
paid by the State, we think it about time
there was change in administrators of
state affairs; but if, as we believe, any
faithful representative can secure the
rights of his constituents in regard to pay
ment of claims, then no especial credit is
due Mr.. Avis in the case cited. We cannot
forbear here expressing the opinion that if
in order to give Mr.. Avis a mobile record"
as legislator it is necessary to obliterate
the record of proceedings of our Chosen
Freeholders from 1891 to July, 1903, when
former Solicitor Swackhamer, by vote of
Is to 3, was paid the sum of $500 for his
services, in that case, Mr.. Avis is suffering
from poverty of achievements not COM
plimentary to one who has been heralded
as leader in his party's councils.

The newspapers of the first and second
class counties Of New Jersey are agitating
the subject of constitutional convention
in order to secure needed reforms in the
judiciary system, district representation in
the Assembly and to change representation
in the Senate from county to district lines.
They claim that under the present system
the small counties have an unfair advan-
tage EVER the populous counties. Our
brethren of the big counties err in this,
because the county of Essex has no
more at stake in the government of New
Jersey than has the county of Gloucester.
The State of Delaware has just as great a
stake in National government as has New
York, and for that reason has equal repre-
sentation in the United States Senate. A
constitutional convention will be thing of
the dim and misty future if the less popu-
lous counties are to forfeit their indemnity
through a surrender of their Senatorial
representation. The other propositions are
such as appeal to the judgment of the
people generally.
