IS THIS sERYIcE1

Again the Liberal Telephone has
demonstrated its narrowminded bust
ness methods, and given fitting ex-
ample of the service (?) it renders.
Because the Democrat has had the
backbone % condemn the alleged
service of this company they are will
ing to go still further and adopt a
policy of spite that shows clearly they
are not entitled to have an exclusive
franchise in this field.
Sunday afternoon sister of the
editor of the Democrat called from
Bucklin. A brother was lying critical
ly ill in local hospital and she
wanted to learn his condition, expect
ing to come to his bedside if needed.
She was told that the editor had no
phone, that they did not know him,
and that she would have to tell them
where to find him.
And the management will call this
service.
After having been in Liberal two
years and three months it is too bad
if no one at the office knew us well
enough TO get Il messenger to us. That
is not the trouble, sither. They did
not want to.
We refused to use their phone at
our residence and swollow the doses
they have rammed down the threats
of a lot Of people, and because of
this we are denied service, or alleged
service.
1t has been common to refer to the
company as a public service corpora
ton, but we for one shall change that
and henceforth call it public nusi-
ance corporation, for the simple rea- !
son that it is staying and occupying
The field and keeping out others who
would at least make an effort within
Mailing distance Of the town, and be a
lelp instead Of a hindrance in its COM
nercial growth.
How long will Liberal stand for
his nusianse?

TO OUR FRIENDS

The past two weeks have been the
most trying in my experience. At one
time every member of the force were
confined to their homes by sickness,
and the serious illness of my wife
made it impossible to be at the office.
Outside of the time Mr.. Millman
could give, the office was closed a
couple of days.
Now we have but one man on the
job and having just recovered is not
able to hit the ball as usual.
However, our expenses have gone
on just the same. While sickness has
caused greater expense at the
house. Owing to these conditions the
outgo has been many times the in
come, and it is hard on the business.
am going to ask my friends
who owe anything to do their best to
settle at an early date, | know many
of you have had your troubles, too,
and am in position to sympathize
with you, and do not want to ask
the impossible of anyone. Yet l feel
sure there are many who could just
as well settle their subscription now
as any time, and l cannot but feel
that these will be glad to help me out.
A dollar an half isn't great deal
but hundred of them count up. If
you've that much you can spare mail
me check. l will appreciate it.
Yours truly,

OUR THANKS

When we picked up our copy of
the Democrat last week and saw the
fine bunch of correspondence it made
us feel good to say the least. With
the heavy load of sickness it was out
of the question to furnish matter for
the paper and our country reporters
certainly did themselves proud. And,
honestly, folks, wasn't it a good
newsy paper? Fourteen neighbor-
hoods represented nicely. We guess
that Is giving the news. Of course
we can't expect it every week, but
we want everyone to do his best. You
folks who are helping us out this
way will never have cause to regret it.
The old Democrat is coming alive as
ever before, and when you have help
ed it to become the leading paper of
the Southwest it will be johnny-on-
the-spot to help you. Again we want
to thank you and assure you that we
thoroughly appreciate your effort.
The Editor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-A courier
arriving in Washington today from
Francisco Villas headquarters in
northern Durango brought word that
a major offensive would be begun next
month with larger forces than Villa
has been able to command for the past
four years.
Details Of the plans of the campaign

Their military operations in the vi
cinity of the American border for the
present.
The courier reported that Villas
forces would be divided into a number
of columns, which will operate in diff
ferent directions throughout the CEN
trail and southern parts of the re-
public with the object of capturing
Mexico City before attempting opera
tons in the north.
The complete organization of the
'junta de bogernacion" was announced
in dispatches carried by the courier.
The purpose, it was said, will be to
take over the civil administration of
the country as fast as it is occupied
by troops. The enlistment of a large
| number of deserters from the Carran-
zistas, who had been conscripted into
the army, has brought the forces under
| Villa and Felipe Angeles up to nearly
| 100000 men. the courier further re-

Leaving Des Moines at sunrise, We
hit the Rockies about 2 o'clock this af-

an altitude of approximately $4,000 feet,
which altitude we maintained until af

mountains and both myself and Lieu
tenant Sweeney became quite chilly.
"Since leaving Chicago, We have
been bucking west wind most of the
time which has slowed up our speed
considerably"
Captain Drayton paid his compli-

permitted to take part in this history

NEW YORK FERRIES QUIT
Republican A. p. Leased WTrel

L'@~fIKIFfNuEI ~ k-OdoSU VIII
NEW YORK, Oct. t0.-The long
shoremen's strike, by which the
port of New York has been virtu-
ally tied up and as a result of
which more than 10000 men are
idle, became associated with great
possibilities today when the ma
tional adjustment commission ruled
against the coastwise Iongshore-
men on their demand for an in
crease of from sixty-five cents to
one dollar an hour.
All ferries plying across the Hud-
son river suspended service at
midnight when the crews walked
out in sympathy with the long
shoremen's strike.
