Yours truly.

The Democrat hasn't the remot
est dea what the article was that
reused the ire of the writer and
life is too short to investigate. We
were little alarmed when we
read the instructions to discontinue
your paper" but after due delibera.
ton we have concluded to disregard
the command and continue publ
cation Of the Democrat indefinitely
We really don't believe he had any
right to ask us to discontinue our
paper" in the first place. However,
we are willing and ready and will.
ing to meet him halfway, and
have therefore caused his name to
be erased, eliminated and removed
from our mailing ealleys. We hope
this will meet with his approval.
He may be able to cruise around
out there in Washington without
! the assistance of the Democrat but
the people of grand old Missouri
are entitled 10 some consideration.

Draft Men to Work.

Att, rney General Frank McAilis-
ter is credited with saying, that the
higher the wages paid the coal
miners the less coal they will mine.
There is much evidence to bear this
out in many places OF course this
is not true of all miners, but it is
of entirely too many The govern
ment will have to quit temporizine
with the coal situation but at once
take over the mines and draft the
operators and miners to run them
and require certain output every
day in the week This is no time
to discuss details on any matter af-
fectine food or fuel Food and fuel
are as essential as air and as nee
essary to win the war, therefore the
government should draft men to
work as well as fieht.-Moberly

ported the loss in action of two
members OF the field artillery and
five others severely wounded. No
details are given but it is believed
that German shell found an Amer

German gun crew was probably due
to the flying of German aviator

sitions Those killed were:

The Truth About 1t.

The Palmyra Spectator needs to
come again" in regard to the
amount Monroe City raised in the
recent Y. M. C. A. War Fund Cam
paien. The Spectator only credited
her with $500 for the fund, at the
same time stating that Monroe
City was in a class with Philadel-
phia." Had the writer therein not
ed the figures given in the Semi
weeklys.News of Tuesday. Nov. 20.
he would not have been so mis-
informed as to the amount credited
to Monroe City in the great fund
was $1.32l,40.- Monroe City News
Att. first,blush it might seem to
the casual reader that the above
WOULD. be of no interest to the
Democrat. but to the careful person
who reads between the lines the
inferences.is plain. If there is any
one thing the Democrat admires
above others it is honesty of pur-
pose and straightfoIwardness in all
matters.
Thes,facts in the case, so the
Democrat has learned, are as fol-
lows. The Committee in charge OF
the work in. Monroe City made a
report, or.rather a partial report, to
the county chairman before the
contributions were all in At the
time lof this report $500 had been
subscribed.I Through a misunder'
standing this smount was taken to
be the total and was reported by
County Chairman Blanton, OF Paris

America is goinc to win this
war, and that fact might as well be
accepted right now by every Amer
icon citizen. If there be any who
want an early peace, and are pur-
suing policy of criticism in the
hope OF. causing the government to
become discouraged and abandon
the fight, they might as well change
their tune and climb into the band
wagon. America is going to win,
and the sooner all her people help
the sooner peace will be declared.
If you are for an early peace with
out victory you are against Ameri-
ca II you are going to criticise
and complain. you are giving the

doubt the correctness of same.
There was no intention on the
part of any of the papers to do
Monroe an injustice and the News

noted the figures given in the News

the amount credited to Monroe City
in the great fund was $l,321 40"

ago reading an obituary in the News
wherein the deceased, if the figures
were correct, was married ten years
before birth. Therefore none of us
are infallible-we all make mis-
takes, and some of US make many
