THE MOTHERS OPINION.

At the closing session of the Ma
tional Mothers congress in Des Moines
on Friday, a set of resolutions was
adopted. Among these resolutions
was one which denounced the charac-
ter of much of the advertising matter
which appears in the newspapers.
The 'teNt'of this resolution is:
Whereas, The publishers of many
papers, read hahitually in respectable
families print objectionable advertise
ments and alleged certificates of cures;
and
Whereas, These advertisements are
directly aimed at the young aud igno-
rant members Of the family; therefore
sbe il IS
Resolved, That this congress looks
upon such advertisements with disap-
proval and earnestly recommends par
ents to protest against the continuance
thereof; and to give their support to
papers which refrain from using this
source of revenue; withdrawing their
support from those papers and periodi-
Gals which continue to exercise this in
furious influence upon the weaker and

"The election of 1858 was the first
national election in which the distri.
button of what is known as Campaign
literature played part of the first
Importance. Before that the greatest
attention had been paid ITO the work
of campaign orators and to the distrl.
button Of money in doubtful States,
thru state committees, to perfect
organization and bring voters to the
polls. When Samual j. Iilden ran fol-
president in 1876 his literary bureau
was a subject of ridcule among the
older politicians, who looked upon it as
a new and Quixotic scheme, But the
literary bureap has now become the
most important adjunct of every Matt.
onal Committee. In 1896 the Republi.
can National Committee expended
100000 for printing alone and the
greater portion of the money raised
by the Democratic committee was
used in the same way. But this was
only carrying out on an even larger
scale the work which played an impor.
tant part in the election of 1898 and
1892"

AN. APPEAL. TO WOMEN.

When stranger alights from a
train at the Union depot in Cedar Rap
ids, he looks across the railroad tracks
upon what--a beautiful little park of.
green lawn, shade trees and wind
ing pathways interspersed with beds
of flowers The impression made by
this first view that greets the stranger
in Cedar Rapids, is refreshing. charm
ing and in every way pleasing. On
one side of this pretty park is the
city high school, on the other fsrs
are imposing church edifices. ~
etits accruing to Cedar Rapi&., - 4
community by the first impression
thus made upon the visiting stranger
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents.
Contrast the above with what may or
may not be in Ottuplwa. The city of OF
tumwa already owns neapy all OF the
block of ground in front of the Union
'depot. 1t can own the balance with
small expenditure and it can make. Of
this plat of ground, park equally
beautiful and one which will carry
with it to the visiting strangers an
impression equally pleasant and faS-
orable with that of the Cedar Rapids
park above referred to.
On the other hand, if our citizens
fail to arouse to the necessity of action
in this matter, instead of pretty
park with all it's accompanying bene-
fetal influences, we will have what
The first thing that will greet the
stranger, on alighting at the splendid
Union depot at Ottumwa, will be''cold
beer" and said stranger will be COM
PEELED to run risk of his life in get
ting from the depot to the main BUSH
ness street, by reason of the necessity
of lodging noisy engines and freight
cars loaded with SAID cold beer as they
are switched back and forth across
the only street giving access to the
depot.
We must confess that it is hard to
contemplate such a possibility with
equanimity, yet Ottumwa is in 'im1ni-
nent danger of having this very thing
happen, and if it should happen. in
addition TO the sorry contrast above
noted, the value of the city's interests
in the block of ground referred to,
will be practically ruined. There is
for Ottumwa in this matter then
direct financial loss of thousands of
dollars in addition to the untold de-
triment to the city which money will
not measure. The Courier. most
earnestly appeals to the women of
Ottumwa to take this matter up. If
they will do SO, they can secure to the
city this park with all its beauties and
benefits and eliminate the disgrace of
cold beer" as standing and perna-
nent greeting to the, stranger enter

COMMERCE. INCREAsEs.

American commerce with Germany
does not thus far show any falling off
as the result of the recent agitation in
Germany upon that subject. Indeed,
our exports to Germany during the
nine months ending with March, 1900
show a larger gain than those to any
other country, the total for the nine
months being $142,7s1, 4s9 against $123,-
--4617 in the corresponding months of
last year, making a gain of $19,55s,S 72,
a larger increase than in our exports
to any other country. In the single
item of provisions, however, there is
reduction Of about IS per cent, while
in nearly all other articles there is a
marked increase. Eyer in provisions
the falling off in the nine months I'M
der consideration is but about So, 5O0,-
600; this is less than the increase in
copper or in Illuminating oil, and but
about one-half the Increase in corn
alone, being also but one-third of the
increase in the single item of cotton.
The detailed statement of ollr ex-
ports to Germany during the nine
months ended with March, shows an
increase in cotton, corn, flour, fruits
and nuts, cotton seed oil, seed, tobacco
manufactured and manufactured,
coal, copper, illuminating oil, agricYl-
tural implements, electrical and scien-
tific instruments, clocks and watches,
builders hardware, sewing machines,
boots and shoes, and numerous other
articles, while the chief reductions af-
feet provisions, wheat, live animals,
hides and skins, typewriters, sole lea
Their, oil cake and lumber. That the
reduction in these few articles is far
less than the increase in the other ar
ticles is shown by the fact, already
mentioned, that the net gain in our ex-
ports to Germany is nearly $2o,ooO,OOO
and is greater than the gain in exports
TO any other country, the increase for
the mouth of March alone being over
$1,000 900,

FOREIGN BORN AMERICANS.

We of the United States are all immi-
grants or the DESCENDANTS Of immi-
grants. A proper pride on the part of
recent Immigrants in the land of their
birth, and a reasonahle desire to secure
that recognition which is due to their
numbers and Importance, should lead
all persons of foreign birth to welcome
the census enYmerator and to answer
his questions Willingly and accurately.
Few questions that will be asked by
the census office are of more impor-
tance than those regarding the place
of birth of the individual and his pa
TENTS There is. no great country
which has received so many ipmi-
grants and lost so few emigrants as
the United States. 1t is doubtful whe-
Their more than 100000 AMERICANS by
birth are living outside of the United
States, while the number of persons
of foreign birth living in the United
States is probably ten million.
In the coming cepsus the .enumera-
tors will endeavor to ascertain wheae
each person, and the parents of each
person, were born; and, if the person
& was not born in the United States. in
what year he came to this country,
the number of years he has been here,
whether he has been naturalized or
not, and if not, whether he has taken
out naturalization papers
The tables made from the answers
to the inquiries respecting birth place
show the number and distribution of
the foreign born residents of the Unit
ed States the number OF them born in
each of the great cpuntries.t the amount

elgners and the natives, the proportion
of the foreigners who settle in the
cities and those who seek the country,
their ability to read and to speak En-
glish, and the law-abiding character of
4 the population. 1t is sometimes said,
Tor instance, that crime is specially
common among the foreign popula-
ton. But this statement can not be-
supported by the census figures. Few
crimes are committed by persons under
Is years of age, and vast numbers of
the natives are under that age and
therefore cannot commit crime. When
comparison is made between the ma
tive prisoners and the natives over Is
years of age, and the foreign prisoners
and the foreign population over Is
years of age, one finds that the pro-
P>$A IA0n Sl pSAoOIS LIZ PAlSCu dOtuI
SO per cent greater among the natives
\ than among the foreign-born popula-
tion.
Z Another point brought out clearly
( by the census figures is that immi-
grants move but q comparatively short
distance. The Canadian immigrants
live mainly along the Canadian frontier
and the Mexicans mainly along the
southern boundary. Thus in 1890 the
Canadians wene in a plurality among
the foreign born in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Michigan, Montana
and Washington. The Mexicans, on
the contrary, were in a plurality in
New Mexico and Arizona. The Ger
mans, however, have spread all over
the United States, and were in plu-
rality among the foreign born in TWEEN
ty-six states and territories.
To the several foreign born elements
of our population it is matter of
pride and interest to know the number
of persons of their nationality in the
United States, and their general eco

MEMoRIAL DAY.

Each year the number of graves await

Grams of the civil and Mexican wars

are still fresh in our memory. They
died fighting for the same grand flag
for which their fathers Bed; ~'they

Them with their blood. No men hav,
better right to lie in hallowed ground
than these, who are fit companions in
death as in life of the heroes of the
older wa8s.
There is one thing, if no more, that
/ these soldiers of the last wars have
done that was worth dying for.
They have wiped out by their shed
blood the last trace of bitterness be,
tween the supporters of the north and
those of the south in the CIVIL war. and
have installed in its place Meetings Of
love and friendship The flag of the
United States flies over people who
are indeed united, whose interests lie
in the same direction, who live to
strive among themselves, who shall be
the best American. All the old pangs
of domestic strife have gone, and we
go out today to honor Blue and Gray
alike. Veterans of one army, STOPPING

be ever green, aud the memory of their
valor be ever before their children, and

"A thing that stands high in the es-

This is gallant stand and shows the
excellent results of the crusade begun a
few years ago in quiet way by a few
publishers of newspapers over the
country. The Courier is proud of the
fact that it was one of the first jour-
nails TO come out against the publica-
ton Of such advertising matter and to
refuse to admitit to its columns. The
excellent rates paid for this objection
able advertising were far more Tempt
ling to the Courier then, when its publi-
Usher was just beginning TO build up
the paper, than they are now. Never
theless vindications of the course adop-
ted for the Courier at that time have
been plentiful and there hasnever been
occasion, from moral standpoint, to
regret the step.
1t is a hopeful sign that the mothers
of thesc ountry have awakened to a re-
Ialization of the harm done bv such OBJ
jectionable advertising apd their decla-
ration of war against the nuisance
should have its weight with publishers.
It will ant least serve to call the atten-
ton of advertisers to the fact that the
good effects of an excellent and con-
vincing advertisement may be utterly
ruii,esl hy its location on the same page
OF - same issue with one of the
obs able advertisements. They
will fud that the people they want to
reach are not reading the papers that
publish dirty advertising matter: the
people who are able to appreciate the
goods and prices reputable merchants
offer will not allow Objectionable peri
odicals to enter their homes. From the
standpoint of his own best interests
the discriminating advertiser will see
that his advertisement keeps good COM
pany and is placed in the paper the
moral tone of which, in both reading
matter and advertising, is above re-
proach.
