The Free Press is among the few news

The party is grabbing at straws.
The Free Press has picked out Will
Z sons plan of settlement Of the threaten
Cd railroad strike for its straw.
It holds up the strike of street railway
workers in New York as result of that
plan of settlement.
The Free Press knows it is unfair, not
only toward President Wilson but toward
It's readers, in this attempt TO connect
the New York strike and the strike that
would have meant famine for the coun-
try il President Wilson had not been
brave enough to act when he did, AS
he did
The eight-hour law is not now and
never has been an issue in the troubles,
recent or present, between the New
York traction companies and their en-
ployes.
What the employees demand is merely
recognition of their union.

and unforgivable offense in the opinion

the offense may be in that opinion, it

traction workers in New York have been
forced by the companies to strike.
Upon the first occasion, the strike was
settled by willingness on the part of
the workers to compromise, out of con-
sideration for the public OF the innocent
third party.
The men having been willing to make
these concessions, the traction com
panies attempted to stretch the agree
ment to two years at which the mer
rebelled, and justly so.
The companies tried to put over f;

To hear the Free Press tell IT.
The idea is that the unions are goins
to proceed from now on TO demand
everything in sight, with the confidence
born of this Washington surrender
But what was the confidence of the
street railway workers in New York
in the fact of being tied down TO mas
ter and servant contract?
What was the cocksuredness Of the
men that union labor has been placed so
firmly in the saddle that il cannot lose!

vive or perish with his political success or failure.
 Under the guiding hand of the Burrow Publishing Company The Spectator has occupied a high niche in the Arkansas journalistic hall of fame, and more than any one else, we realize the gravity of the task before us, that of maintaining, if possible, the established stand ard of newspaper excellence. that has heretofore characterized The Spectator.
 It is superhous to say that the new Spectator manager is very desirous of meeting and knowing intimately every actual and pros pective reader in the county, and all are urged to call and see us when in town. It is our hope to not only retain all of the present Spectator readers, but to so extend and intensity the cir culation field of the paper that 1t shall in time become a regular visitor to every home in Frank lin county.
 We are not strong on promise. Performance is better vehicle with which to deliver the goods, and so we shall content ourselves by saying that we hope to make The Spectator a representative newspaper in this feld-in ot her words, we are going to try to make real newspaper in Ozark. We shall strive, in short, to be a peoples paper in the best sense of the term and indulge the hope that we will have the pub)ic's cooperation to this end. We are not vain enough to think that we can i please everybody. We shall make mistakes and perhaps a few enemies; for newspapers, be it remembered, are but human institutions; but if con- scientious effort directed toward giving Ozark and Franklin county a representative news paper, voicing the highest as- pirations of its citizenship and embodying the best that is in competent and energetic news paper workers, counts for aught, The Spectator throws its hat in to the ring and will henceforth be candidate for public favor on that basis.
 We believe in Arkansas: we believe in Franklin county; we believe in Ozark; we believe in mankind; we have an abiding faith in the ultimate triumph of right: we know that hard, honest toll is certain in it's reward, and conscious that success, if it be ours, will come as the result only of work; we believe we are ready to put our creed to a thoro and conscientious test. ready right now.

Salutatory.
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
 The title of Burrow Pub fishing Company is missing from the flag" of The Spectator and in it's stead, today appears the firm name of Burrow & Cox, MT. Edward F. Cox, of Freder- ick, Okla.. having joined in the purchase and ownership of this paper, and beginning with this issue, the business will be con- ducted under that firm name and The Spectator will be man. aged and controlled by Edward F. Cox.
 However unnecessary 1t may be, the rules of custom impel that we introduce ourselves to the patrons of this office and de- clare our purpose to the readers of the paper. Mr. Cox is an ex- pert printer and thru choice as well as thru force of circum- stances, a publisher of weekly and daily newspapers for several years. He is known turnout the confines of Western Oklaho- ma, is fully conversant with the ins and outs of the business and is in hearty sympathy with the needs and demands of the con- stituency of a semi-weekly news paper. It was his knowledge of the certain present of the city and strong confidence in her future that influenced him in his investment in The Spectator.
 As for the active manager and editor of any newspaper very little need be said; realizing that he shall be among you daily, that his life. conduct and secret purposes will to those to whom we are addressing these words be as an open book which he who runs may readily read, he shall make it his earnest en- deavor thru the coming months and years to let his acts in ser vice to this paper and mankind and to Ozark and Franklin county speak for themselves, and he shall not disclaim against the verdict on them.
 In The Spectator office there will be Mir. R. H. Burrow, Jr., formerly manager but who will continue in the capacity of fore man; also Miss Jewel Henderson, and expert compositor in which capacity she has served for con- siderably more than a year.
 Of course The Spectator will have a policy; no newspaper has the right to be known as such without a fixed and constant aim. The new editor being a democrat of the Jeffersonian type by choice and predilection. the future policy of The Spectator will therefore as in the past, be democratic would be that if we were the only democrats in Franklin county. But it might as well be said here, that the interest The Spectator may and will show in the battles of democracy will be a broad one, and that it's publishers do not purpose to attach it's fortunes to the career of any man, to sur
