GGrmany'S Government.

Germany claims to have de.
mocraliZed its government. If so,
one OF the greatest revolutions of
history has taken place over night.
The mightiest despotism the world
ever saw, suddenly disappears In
its place we have a democratic mon
archy, conforming to President Will
sons demands. 1t takes a shell
game artist at county fair to do
anything so neat.
Great revolutions like these, if
authentic, are attested by indisput-
able evidence Any constitutional
change in the United States is the
subject of long debate in public as
sembly, and is finally agreed to by
vote atteSted and put on record by
the lawful authorities. English
liberties date back to Magma Charter.
You can find an original copy of it
in Lincoln cathedral to-day.
When has any proclamation of
abdication of his imperial power
been made by Emperor William II
of Germany? Under the German
constitution, he has the power of
making defensive. AS he can set
up the claim that any war is de
fensive". this practically gives him
the right to make war anytime he
wants to. Where and when has he
abdicated this power? Let him
come forward and present a signed
proclamation giving up the right,
Under the German constitution,
the Federal Council can authorize
the Kaiser to make an offensive
war. AS this body does not repre-.
sent the people. the Council must
formally by attested vote renounce
this right. before the first step to-
ward characterization has been
made.
The claim set forth by the Ger
man government that it has placed
sovereign power in the hands of the
people is too transparent to deceive
a class OF school children.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-11-01
Stand By Wilson.

Granting that the Republicans
are patriotic and loyal to their
country-and God knows they
ought to be for they have received
their full share of honors-granting
hat they are everything they ought
to be, the burden and responsibility
of this GREAT war has incidently
fallen upon the Democratic party.
Why should there be a change of
party so long as this burden is being
carried satisfactorily to the people
and to the civilized world? A
Democratic president who has de-
veloped into a world leader has
demonstrated his ability to carry
the war to a just conclusion. What
excuse is there for not giving he
and his party full support. Is it
jeolousy? Is it lust for Office? Eth
er is shameful in this crisis. 1t is
but reasonable that the President
should be backed to the limit by
his own party and all patriotic men
and he VIII be. There is but one
thing for Democrats to do, and that
is to stand firmly by the admins
tration. There is but one thing for
all real Americans TO do and that is
to back the party now in power un-
til this job is Guished. Can anoth-
er party do the job any better? If
so how? Has any administration
done as much in the history of our
country before? We would not
shirk our duty as Democrat but
the settlement of this world trouble
with all of its intricate problems
will be no easy task, If we were a
Republican we should be>perfectly
willing to allow the Democrats to
finish the job They may do it sue
cessfully aud if so they will richly
deserve the credit but if they DO
not they will be subjected to criti-
cism for years and years

What Has Been Accomplished.


1t was remarked by The Demo-
crat last spring. that the results of
our war preparation would be ap-
parent before the fall elections.
Six months ago the country was i'm
patient over delays in the war
work. Some people failed to reflect
that the transformation of a peace
loving nation into a war making
one could not be accomplished in a
day or a year.
But faith was expressed that the
fall campaign in France would see
the results of American power. And
the outcome has proved it. We
have placed an enormous force in
the field, greater than anyone ex-
pected to see at this date. They
are all armed and equipped. The
army is as we'll provided as any
army on the front, in many re-
spects better.
A series of tremendous defeats
mas now been inflicted on the Hun
armies. Few of US dared to hope
for any big advance before the
spring of 1919. Instead the Ger
mans have been continuously on
the move since July 18. The re-
treat grows more hasty as the days
60 on. Already one fourth OF the
Germany artillery is in allied hands.
The shutting in OF winter should see
the Huns nearly driven back to
their boundaries.
America has supplied the force
needed to give the push. Our al
lies nave fought nobly, bur never
could have done i alone G
Inc men in charge OF army affairs
at Washington have made good.
They have accomplished the results
asked for, and more than we ex-
pected. Why not then show our
confidence November 5 by return
ing to power about The same men.
Every good American will demand
that each Congressman must be a
loyal supporter of the war. That
can be accomplished without shift
ing party control of Congress.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-11-01
Wilson Was Right.

When President Wilson asked
Congress not to make a declaration
of war against Bulgaria and Turkey
there was much confusion in the
minds of the people as those nations
were as cruel and barbarOuS as was
Germany herself; they were waging
as bitter war as they could against
democracy and civilization But
the people said the President had
all the information and they made
no protest. 1t now seems that it
was a wise measure. The United
States had its usual diplomatic force
and consuls in both countries and
the dispatches indicate that they
had a good deal of influence in
bringing the results that have been
attained.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-11-01

The Chicago and Northwestern
railroad is said to be abolishing its
parlor cars If the other railroads
follow its example, how are we to

America? The world is certainly
being made safe for democracy at
a great rate.

least expensive way, and you

Wilson and vote for men who will

cratic ticket this year who will not
do this. You should vote for every
o me on that ticket.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-11-01

Although Missouri is fairly safe
for democracy, it is well known
that the Kingdom of Galloway is
within our borders and, besides that,
there is a king in pretty nearly
every county in the State. There
is watermelon king in the water
IN elon belt, strawberry king and a
peach king, and there is H. L.
Pritchett, who lives somewhere in
or around Rails County. He is the
hog king. Just when and where
he coronation was pulled off and
" no placed the crown on his head
we do not known, but, anyway, he
is the hog king because The Rails
c ounty Record says so. He has
so Id pedigreed hogs in every State
" here they raise hogs and has just
filled an order for Missouri hogs to
be delivered in Cuba.

Republican Influences.

The Republican party has always
claimed to be a business mans
party That is all right, provided
you don't carry it too far. The Re-
publican party was So far a busi-
ness mans party that it has always
taken its orders from the great cor.
porations, banks, Wall street and
other speculative centers.
When the big bankers and pro-
tected manufacturers had anything
they wanted to put over, to whom
did they always look? Their point
of view was always expressed with
cultured eloquence on the floor of
Congress by their Republican
friends.
The Republican party has always
taken the capitalist view point. Its
representatives have believed, more
or less sincerely, that to secure the
well being of the country, this cap
italists must be given about what
they wanted. If they wanted high
tariffs, subsidized ship lines, and
the defeat of labor legislation, they
must have them.
AnG when the representatives OF
the great mass of the working peo-
pie asked for laws that would safe.
guard the health of the working
classes and permit the education oi
their young people, the Republican
leaders were averse The capital
lists said these things would ruin
their business.
In 1912 the subordination of the
Republican party to the capitalistit
element became Sc pronounced
that more than half the party broke
away and formed the Progressive
party But the strength of old ira
ditions proved too great. The Pro
eressives have now returned TO tht
old fold. without having obtained
the concessions that they wen
out for.
So today if the working masse.
of the country wish better condi
tions of living, they must beware o
a party that has always shown it
self submissive to capitalistic in
fluence.

Whether the theory is correct or
not, there appears to be no doubt in
the minds of the American people
that the Spanish influenza was
made in Germany and not in
Spain.
