GREAT BEND - THE FRONT.

Wesley DammeS, representing
the Duplex Printing Press Co., of
Battle Creek, Mich, was in the
city on business yesterday and
made a pleasant call at the Dem
Ocrat office. Mr.. DammeS' home
is in New York and he is now on
his way TO the Pacific coast. 1t
is his first visit to this part of the
country, but his work has taken
him over a good part of the Unit
ed States and he says that wher-
ever he goes he hears some one
speak Of Great Bend and he is of
the opinion that it is one of the
best advertised towns in the
United States. And, after look
ing the town and surrounding
country over, he is inclined to
think that Great Bend and Bar
ton county have not been over-es-
timated.

INSULT UNITED STATES.
American Steamer Held Up On
High Seas by British.
(By Karl H. Won Wiegand.) J

Wy nail IL NOA WASOoAu'|
Berlin, (via wireless) Jan. 49,
Charges of insults to the Ameri-
can flag and of improper inter
ference with his vessel have heen
transmitted to Washington by
Captain Farley of the American
steamer Green brier, now in Bre-
men harbor. The Greenbrier sail
ed from New Orleans for Bremen
with a cargo of cotton on Decem-
Der 10, after the state department
had assured her owners that she
would not be interfered with.
The story of the hOldup on the
high seas as recorded IN the log
book of the Greenbrier, has been
sent to Secretary of State Bryan
by Captain Farley, under inStruc-
tionS from owners of the steamer.
The record declares that on De-
cember 30, while proceeding to-
ward the German coast, the vessel,
which was flying the American
flag, was halted by a solid shot
across her bow, fired by British
cruiser.
A cutters crew, in charge of an
officer, boarded the steamer and
the officer demanded the ships
papers. As soon as they were
shown the British officer signall-
ed for more men. A prize crew
was sent aboard and then he or
dered the American flag hauled
down and the British ensign rails
ed over the steamer.
Captain Farley says he refused
to comply and alleged he was or
dered from the bridge while the
prize crew took over the steamer.
They hOiSted the British flag and
headed the liner toward the Bri-
tiSh coast. Captain Farley alleges
that through incompetent naviga-
ton by the British officer and in
capable handling by the prize
crew, his vessel was damaged.
Three booms were swept away
when she was needlesSly brought
about in a heavy sea, he alleges,
and the vessel was finally brought
into Kirkwall. Here Captain Far
ley declares he was ordered to re-
sumo command of his vessel and
to take her to Leith for examina-
ton, carrying the prize crew,
whose responsibility ended at
Kirkwall, as passengers.
Captain Farley declares he re-
fused to have anything more to
do with his ship so long as the
British flag flew over it. Finally,
after three days, he claims he was
allowed to replace his own colors
and then he took the vessel to
Leith, finally being permitted to
complete his journey to German
waters.

Mrs. Robert Bean is still on the
sick list this week. She contract

Oh Aluoy, Il CDl udl 1El13 lllC
last issue of the Weekly Barton
County Democrat will be mailed
to our subscribers, and the publi-
cation so far as being a weekly
paper is concerned, will cease,
and on Monday, February 18TH,
the Daily Democrat will enter the
newspaper field and make its
maiden bow to the public.
The step which | am about
take in the newspaper business
is one which has been contem-
plated for a long time and is not
a conclusion which has been ar
rived at hastily or without due
consideration. 1t is a step which
has been urged by our many
friends ever since we first took
charge of the Democrat two years
ago the first OF last January, but
this solicitation alone is not the
sole reason for making the
change. With the advancement
of the rural mail delivery and the
free city delivery the life of the
weekly newspaper in cities the
size OF Great Bend is rapidly
drawing to a close. People want
the news when it is news and not
when it is from two days to a
week old, and the demand has be-
come such that the local daily
newspaper is the only solution to
the problem.
We fully realize that the change
devOlveS greater responsibilities
and greater laborS than in the
past and we believe that we are
prepared to meet these added
duties. We are not going to make
any rash promises as to the great
deeds we expect to accomplish in
this work. 1t is enough for us
to say that we expect to give Great
Bend a newSy, up-tO-date paper
in every way, and one which will
be a welcome addition to the
homes of all the people of the
county. 1t will be my aim, to
cover the local field in a thorough
manner and to give to the readers
OF the paper all the news worth
while, and give if TO them prompt
ly and correctly. In addition to
the local field | am making ar
ranSementS for complete teIe-
graph news of the state and ma
ton on all the important sub
jectS of the day, and in every
way shall endeavor to give to the
people a paper which they will
read and enjoy and which will be
OF benefit to the community. |
am moi going to start out with any
blaze of self glory or heralding of
trumpetS, but am simply going
to start at the gait which we ex-
pect to maintain, and that is to
give the people the very best pa
per which the patronage will sup
port. | am not going to start
with big contest TO begin things
with a whOop and a hurrah.
do moi believe in the contest pro-
position for several reasons, and
The chief of these is that ii costs

THE WHITE SEASON IS HERE
The Stores Are Holding Their
Annual White Sales.

Notwithstanding the fact that q
great many of the laces and en-
broideries used nowadays are
imported, the LischeSky, Born

White Sales, which began in all
three stores this week, are show
ing more beautiful and varied
lines of merchandise than ever be-
fore. 1t will pay any woman to
supply her needs for the coming
season while the stocks are COM

MAXWELL MOVIES
MAKE BIG HIT

The $4,000 5-reel Maxwell fea-
ture picture show was put on to
an overflow house at the Echo
Theatre last night, and its appro-
val was manifested by the favor
able remarks of the audience as
they passed out.
In anticipation of the large
crowd and wishing to give every
one, young and old, a free show,
Mr.. Pritchard, at a considerable
extra expense, run the pictures
through especially for the school
children Immediately after school
hours.
Anyone who doubted the ac-
claimed immensely of the Max
well factories and their ability to
produce $4,000 high grade auto
mobiles in one year under their
own roof, and the cars ability to
stand the most outrageous abuses
possible to subject an autOmo-
bile to and stay in the car, or of
its power, speed and hill climbing
ability, or the safety of its brakes
and steering equipment, its abil-
ity to stay right side up in max
ing perilOuS quick turns upon the
Rocky Mountain cliffs, must have
another think coming since see
ing the pictures.
The settings for the pictures
were the finest to be found any,
where and were selected from
scenes found all the way from
New York City to Pasadena, Cal
ifOrnia.
OF course, these pictures were
produced at enormous expense
and shown for the purpose of ad,
vertiSing, yet it is only men that
have the courage of their convic-
tons that will advertise upon such
a scale and any product so adver-
tiSed is invariably a safe thing
to buy.

A Personal Word To Our Readers


a whole lol Of money, and the
subscribers either pay the bill or
else the publisher loses money,
and we are frank enough to say
that we are not engaged in busi-
ness altogether for our health.
In order to get a good, big sub
scription list right from the start
| am going to reduce the price of
the paper for the tlrSt year, and
thus, instead of giving the bene-
fit to the few, as is the case in
all subscription contests, | am 60
ing to give it to all the subscribers
who take advantage of the offer
during the next sixty days. Duly
accredited solicitors will call upon
all of our readers shortly, but we
ask that you do not wait for any
special invitation, but write or
phone me 10 have your name add
ed to the list with the first issue
of the paper. | have a special
proposition to make to all those
who have been readers of the
Weekly Democrat and these will
be mailed to my subscribers in
due time if | do not see or hear
from them in the meantime.
The paper will be Democratic
in principles and in politics, but
in this case politics is going to be
secondary consideration, for |
am of the opinion, and | am glad
to see this state of affairs, that the
independent voter is the man OF
the present, and while | shall sup
port the principles of Democracy
in all things which | believe to be
for the right, | shall treat ali par
ties in a fair manner, and our
chief aim will be to furnish a pa
per which will contain ALL the
important news and will be of
benefit to ALL the people. To
this end we ask the cooperation
and support of every reader of
the Democrat. Talk the matter
oyer with your friends who are
NOT readers of the paper at the
present time and induce them to
subscribe. The benefit will, in
many ways, be mutual. The more
subscriptions we secure the bet
ter paper we will be able to fur
niSh you, and the better paper we
issue the more you will be getting
for your money.
Every subscriber can be aSSur-
ed of getting all the local news;
a good telegraph service, and ev-
cry bit of the official proceedings
of the county as well. When you
subscribe for a paper you pay
for news, and that is what you
are going to get in The Daily Dem
Ocrat.
Here's hoping TO see every sub
scriber to The Weekly Democrat
enrolled on the subscription list
of the Daily Democrat, and | give
you my personal assurance that
it is going to be the best news
paper investment you have ever
made.
Very truly yours,
JOHN K. McMULLEN.
