Three Times Each Week.

The Democrat greets you today
as a newspaper published Three
Times Each Week Thursdays,
Saturdays and Tuesdays. In this
way our readers will get the news
more often and our advertisers can
present their bargains more often
and to better advantage. Then
again much of our advertising copy
was not brought in until press day
thus making the force work late at
night. In the three times a week
we believe that advertisers will Sc
iect different days and that in this
way we will not be forced to work
such long hours at the office Then
the advertiser can follow his ad-
vertisements in series. Our press
and machinery being such that to
publish two times week would
require considerable of an invest
ment for new material is our reason
for making the three issues. We
hope our patrons will be pleased
with the change

Soldiers Still For Wilson.

Last week when the special train
with Chas W. Fairbanks and party
was here, the statement was made
that the soldiers on the border were
displeased with President Wilson
and tales that would anger any
true citizen we're told. We did not
say anything last week but we got
busy and after interviewing parents
who have boys on the border and
some who have even been into
Mexico. we feel that we are justified
in saying that the Judges story
was campaign dope. VIM. F. Wal
Ter who Unlisted at Hannibal last
summer and left there the 81 of
June. was in this city Saturday.
He has been in Laredo, Texas and
when we asked him about condi-
tions, said he could speak for his
Company and that they were
strong for Wilson.
Evan Green has been in Mexico
He has not seen CarranZas soldiers
insulting our flag.
Jas. Lee Hayden belongs to the
Second Missouri Cavalry. He is
at Noeales, Arizona. He has al.
ready served six years and is en-
listed for three years longer. Eieh'
teen months was spent in the Phil
lipines, His father says he is ar
enthusiastic Wilson man.
Stanley Starrett. who is at FL
paso is not old enough to vote. bu,
we we're given to understand that
if he could vote it would be fol
Wilson.
Harold Davenport is still il

nothing of him along the line pre-
scented at the depot last Wednesda,
They assuerd us that it is safe to
say he is still for Wilson.

able for Wilson's reelection an

would surely be elected. Edgar

A Growing AutOcracy.

strike vote Is now being circulated among
the engineers, hremen, conductors and other
trainmen OF the country. and We are told by
railroad papers that the officers OF the Brother
hood Of Trainmen are doing everything possible
to obtain an affirmative vote.
They claim that the ballot gives no separate
opportunity Of voting for or against arbitration,
and that the campaign is conducted so that
every man is compelled to vote or be counted
on the negative side.
They are obliged TO vote in the presence Of
the committee chairman and without discussing
any Of the questions involved.
The Order OF Railway Conductors has amend
ed it's bylaws so that associations shall be taken
as the unit rather than lines Of railroad.
II two-thrds OF the members Of an association
vote to strike all the lines in that territory will
be considered to have voted for IT, whether two
thirds on some railroads are in favor OF it or
not
Thus employees would De obliged to take part
in a strike which they had voted against.

mo Just reason for interrupting the service
exists. The railroads have offered to arbitrate
every question raised by the demands which
have been presented. The representatives of
the men. however. rejected this offer and have
issued strike ballots"
We seem to be approaching a position be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
Exploitation OF labor is one thing.
Exploitation Of capital is another.
Between the two the only gamers seem to
be those gentlemen who order the strike at their
own discretion. after the working man has been
obliged to vote without choice of arbitration
The power Of kings and queens has been large

In all but two countries they are little more

autocracy which does not parade in ermine and

account

Under the guise Of loyalty il is placing labor
