THE IOWA COUNTY DEMOCRAT
PROS Pc CTUS

THE DEMOCRAT does not go into every home III
Iowa county; but it goes into fourteen hundred
homcs,-a goodly number, 1t is a local and gen
cral newspaper, primarily a local newspaper 1t
aims to print all the local news of public impor
tancc and much other news of personal, human
interest. It's chief field of service i'll this regard is
Mineral Point and the nearby surrounding towns
and villages and this field will be covered by the
publication of items of interest helpful to this
mlnity, rather than matters of harmful nature.
The paper is printed and mailed Wednesday
afternoon, and contains the important press dis
patches of Wednesday morning. The news
ice of THE DEMOCRAT for that day is as fresh and
up to date that of any daily newspaper.
Both i'll its columns and III its editorial
articles THE DEMOCRAT will, according to it's long
established custom, carry into the homes of it's
patrons hopeful message OF progress, rather
than the croak of the raven. 1t will try to lead
its readers III the right way by fair and sound
guments, rather than mislead them by appeals to
demagogy. Without visions the people perish.
The visions of THE DEMOCRAT are visions of a
stronger and wider influence of the churches; Wis
ions of better and more largely attended schools,
from the primary grades to the higher institutions
of learning; visions of good roads; visions of the
general manifestation of helpful public spirit;
and, i'll Short visions of progressive democracy.
Its visions not visions of the Sunday ball game
or Sunday ski game; visions of joy riding;
visions of the street fair with its degrading
compartments. In fact this paper will endeavor
to make better men and women of the boys and
girls of the homes into which it enters and to lead
them to strive for the higher rather than for the
lower things of life 1t would turn the hearts of
the children towards education and high ideals,
rather than towards high old time.
Serving our patrons in the way above outlined,
and standing firmly by convictions; support
ing with zeal such and measures as we feel
will best promote the public welfare, conf
IDENTIFY seek still wider circulation for THE Iowa
County DEMOCRAT. To the home which it once
enters it long continues regular visitor,

TIE exchange of bouquets between
the Milwaukee journal and Mineral
Point Democrat Is what one might
reasonable expect from two publications
which threw up their hands in holy
horror over Organism in 1896 and
which now welcome it rs the saving
grace of the party in the year 1912. --
The Weekly Madisonian.
There is hope for the editor of the
Madisonian He evidently relds the
Milwaukee Journal and the Mineral
Point Democrat. If he will but read to
mark and to learn The Madisonian may
yet be doing good team work with
the other Democratic newspapers of
Wisconsin.

least so shots were fired by the
police.
1t was here that Carmelo Milaz
a striker, was shot in the back,
as he fled from the scene. And it
was here that the police arrest
ed three men, in an alleyway
from which Milaz could not pos
sibly have been shot, and charged
them with his attempted murder.
The police say that one of the
three men, Salvatore, Bruno, had
a revolver in his hand when they
arrested them. The three men
could not be interviewed. They
were beaten into insensibility by
the police.
The sound of the revolvers of
the police acted as bugle call to
the strikers.
They began to flock to Com
mon street.. In a little while TO-
600 people, the majority of them
women, had gathered there.
The strikers made no attempt
at violence. Some one of them
began to sing the Star Spang1e
banner. The whole crowd took
up the song, and swung into pro-
cession.
The parade swung down a side
street from Common toward Es-
sex, the main business thorough
fare.
None was disorderly. They re-
sembled, more than anything, a
great crowd turned out to cele-
brate some gala day.

At Jackson street, Is members
of the Metropolitan state police,
gray-uniformed and swinging
heavy wagon spokes, were stand
ing.
As the strikers procession
neared Jackson, the officers of the
state police drew their men UP
into a flying wedge, and ordered
them to charge.
The impact of the IS armed po-
lice against the head of the pro-
cession was awful, and then the
work of clubbing began.
Men, and women, and little
children felt the weight of the
wagon spokes. They could be
seen to fall down on the street,
and to rise again, bleeding from
their wounds.
And still the procession surged
on, singing, always singing
patriotic airs.
One hundred more police were
rushed to reinforce the Metro
politan squad.
Both squads drew off a block,
and once more formed into flying
wedges, and charged on, the strik-
ers. The orders of their officers
could be Heard high above the
singing of the strikers:
