A DEMOCRATIC AUTOcRAcY.

In this time of political and martial
stress the relative forms of government
are being tried out. We find that con.
ditions Of peace and the strain of war
times require different qualities and
powers of the central government.
Somebody has said that democracy
must become an autocracy before it can
win war. As general statement that
is undoubtedly true. Hence in the for
nation Of governments it is we'll to allow
for changes Of conditions and provide as
far as possible for such changes, that
they may be made without jar or disrup-
tion of the machinery.
just as an automobile IS arranged to
sgo on two, three or more ''speeds'' &C
cording to circumstances and power re-
quired so with democracy. just as
the auto we should prepare for an ordi-
nary speed on ordinary roads, but be
able to open the ''muffler'' and run on
slow" when We come to mud, sand or a
hill.
In all the democratic governments Of
the world the present test ahows that
this country has the greatest adaptibil-
ity to meet difficult conditions in com-
parison with any Of them. Almost all
of these other governments use "6gure-
head" whom they call . king and to
whom they pay agOod salary. For the

statutory crime. He refused to make
a statement for publication today.

city, and experienced no difficulty in
getting back and forth across the
line, although a strict watch is main
tanned by the authorities When he
was ready to come home he found the
prisoner, whom he had not seen be-
fore, waiting at the depot for him in
charge of an officer; and upon arrival
at the line he found his passports all

II asked for confirmation of this re-
port" Senator Lodge stated, because

ject in his possession" Senator Works

ing continued friendship with the
United States. and declared that "un-

FREE MILITARY TRAINING
OFFERED MOSCOW YOUTHS
Captain Cummings and Sergeant Abendroth Offer
to Instruct Volunteer Class in Military Science
NO Obligations Required.

free course in military science
that would prepare every young man
in Moscow to conduct himself intel
ligently should he be called sudden
ly into the service of his country will
be given in this city if a sufficient
number of young men evidence a
. willingness to take full advantage OF
such an opportunity.
The Star-Mirror was authorized to-
day to make this proposal to the young
men of the city for Captain Avery D.
Cummings, commandant of the Uniter-
sity of Idaho cadet battalion, and his
assistant, Sergeant w. H. Abendroth,
who will give their services free of
charge any number of nights per week
that volunteers will meet for train
ing.
1--WE will be able to secure the loan
of sufficient material" Captain Cum
mings stated today, ''to furnish an en-
tire company of from SO to so men,
or even more if necessary. OF course,
in such an organization there would
be no obligations whatever. Young
men who took the course would be no
more eligible for military duty than
would those without such training, and
their status regarding eligibility for
service should this country engage in
war would remain unchanged.
But they would have the satisfac-
pressed suddenly into duty, they would
have done their utmost toward pre-
pairing themselves to be efficient de-
tenders of their homeland.
There would be no assurance of the
permanence of such volunteer COM
pany for the study of military science,
except the pride that goes with MAX
ing of oneself a valuable citizen. Men
with such pride always make the best
soldiers; they are the ones depended
upon in times of military crises"
In order to test sentiment on the
proposal Captain Cummings has asked
all young men-old men welcome, as
well-to communicate with him, giving
him their names and their promise
that they will attend the training
meetings. Names may also be for
warded to the Star-NIirror office.
Call either Captain Cummings at
1861, or the Star-Mirror office, 109,
and ask to have your name placed on

 This was the message given to Mis- souri patriots by R. Goodwin Rhett, president of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States, in address ing a meeting of Liberty Loan work CTS in St. Louis.
 "We must make sacrifice equal to that which our boys are making. Buy ing bonds does not fulfill the first principle of this sacrifice" Rhett said.

MEN WANTED

As . result of the war there is an enorn0sss demand in all lines of busi- nsss. beth public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that 1t is a patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bus1nS1s or techni- cal training and 1t themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 : Young men who are not in the se- lsctive draft, aae wanted In business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas bus1noss men are begging now for trained help: they need men great numberg of them-and must have them. It Is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping. shorthand. and sthsr branches of clerical wor1.

New York Cotton,

New York, Oct. 27.-There was a renewal of southern selling and local pressure at the opening of 'the cot ton market today. Prospects for good weather over Sunday and a private crop estimate of 12,O0O,0OO bales ap- peared to promote the tendency to take profits for over the week end, and after opening easy at decline of 13 to B points active months sold 20 to 34 points net lower. December eased off to 27.4O and January to 26.59. People with Liverpool and trade connections were buyers on the decline, causing rallies of few points before the end of the first hour.
 1 Moderate rallies followed the open ! ing decline but the market turned easier again late in the morning un- der southern selling and liquidation with December closing at 27.25 and January at 26.62. The general list closed steady at a net decline of 24 to 42 points. %

Chicago Grain.


 Chicago, Oct. 27.-Heavy selling led by some of the largest houses on ex- change caused sharp break in corn prices today, but the bearish drive was not long continued and the market re- covered most of the losses. A re- newaf of rainy weather did good deal to prevent selling pressure to have a lasting effect. The December option showed much wider fluctua- tions than the other months. Opening figures which ranged from 1-2 down to 1r2 cent advance with December S1.16 1-2 to $118 1-2 and May SLIP 7-8 to $1.13 IA were followed by set, back all around and then general rally that in some cases went above yesterdays finish.
 Oats were governed by the action in corn. The same concern that sold corn took the bear side in oats.
 The undertone was not as strong as of late, and commission selling led to another break but week end evening up of trades acted subsequently, as an offset in the main. Prices closed un' settled at the same as yesterdays fin ish 3-4 cents lower with December s1.19 IA to $1.18 3-8 and May SLIP 7-8.
