ELECTION
William Rath is Nomi.
mated.
Republicans Nominate a Rep
resentatiye German for the
Council.

On Saturday evening the republicans
of the second ward placed in nomina-
ton for alderman to succeed Nh. A. H.
Brown, MIR. William Rath, one of the
best known young Germans of the city.
Mr.. ID. l.. Boynton acted as chairman
of the caucus and Mr.. Joseph Scott as
secretary.
Mr.. Rath's nomination was made by
reclamation and we believe he will be
elected on Thursday next. Mr.. Rath
came to Denison not so many years ago,
poor in purse but rich in brain and
muscle and the determination to sue
coed. During the time that he has
been in Denison, he has gained for him
self a modest competency and what is
more a reputation for honesty and up
Brightness OF character which might
we'll be envied. He has shown that he
is careful, economical and conservative
in his own business and there is every
reason to believe that he would be the
same in the conduct of the affairs of
the city. If elected he would be the
only laboring man on the council.
The professional and business classes
are we'll represented and it would be
but fair that the laboring men. who
are after all a majority of the tax
payers, should have a member of the
city council. The second ward is usu.
ally a close one, but we believe that
Mr.. Rath will win by a handsome
majority. Mr., Rath is as good an
example as can be found Of the brave
and sturdy German-American artisan
who has made a success in the coun.
try of his adoption. He SHOULD receive
every republican vote in his precinct
and the votes Of those democrats who
know him best.

SMITH
To Open Campaign in
DenisOn.
The Brainy Congressman Will
Speak Here on Saturday
Evening, October 18th.

The republican campaign in Craw-
ford county will have a brilliant open
ing in the speech to be made in Deni-
son on Saturday. Oct. 18th. by Con
gresham Walter l. Smith of Council
Bluffs.
Mr.. Smith is one of the very best
and most convincing speakers in Iowa.
He is witty, entertaining and at the
same time logical and forceful. At the
Cedar Rapids convention he made the
speech OF the day under the most try
ing circumstances. The convention
was in no mood for further speech
making and when Mr.. Smith was first
introduced he was hooted down. 1t
took but a few moments for the con-
vention to see what q grave injury it
had done to one of the strongest repub.
lican leaders of the state and Mr..
Smith vas recalled to the platform
His speech vas possibly the best of
the day. He fairly captured the con.
vention and he was accorded an ovation
such as few men receive.
Denison is to. be congratulated upon
securing this gifted speaker and every
voter should avail himself of this op-
%portunity to hear the issues of the
campaign freely and fairly discussed.
Turn out everybody, you will be more
than repaid for coming.

WEST SIDE FOR LANGAN.
Will Urge His Nomination for Repre-

VIII urge HIS Tor Repre-
sentative.
The Republicans of West Side held
their caucus last night and by an unani-
nous vote decided to present the name
of Mr.. Hugh Langan to the county
Convention as a candidate for repre-
sentative. The delegates selected were
as follows: George E. S%pottswood, H.
Langan, F. j. Gary, John Niesz. G.
kracht, F. Book, and S. C. Blackman.
Mr.. Langan the West Side candidate
for representative is one of the most
striking characters and one of the
b%rainiest men of Crawford county. He
has been connected with the upbuild-
ing of the eastern part of the county
for many years and to know him is a
liberal education. He is a forceful
speaker. a successful business man, a
broad thinker, a student both of books
and men and would make representa-
tive of whom the county might we'll be
proud he has had legislative experience
as a member of the South Dakota legisla-
ture. His property consists chiefly in
lands and he is the owner of some of the
finest farms in the county. In the
eastern tier of townships where he is
best known his friends urge that he
would poll an immense vote. Should
it be the wish of the republicans of the
county to place Mr.. Langan in nomin-
alton the Review can give him hearty
n cordial support.

sirable because the language OF the

make English the language of the peo-

a Busrness Education.

President Forgan of the First Ma
tional bank of Chicago, has added his
testimony to that of other leading Chi
cagoans in regard to the shortcomings
of our public schools in teaching the
rudiments of a practical business edu-
cation. In his address before the
graduating class of Lake Forest Uni
versity he outlined the educational
qualifications which he regards as
most helpful in attaining success In a
business career. They are few and
simple:
1. To be able to write good legible
hand, to make good figures. and to
place them correctiy-the units be-
low the units, the tens below the tens.
and So on.
2 To be able to add subtract and
multiply rapidly and accurately.
3. To be able to express yourself
clearly, briefly and dramatically in
letter and to spell the words correct
ly.
Elementary as these qualifications
are, Mr.. Forgan says the young men
who possess them are rare Though
he has taken many youths into bust
ness, he says he can remember scarce
ly one who could be relied upon to do
the simple things just enumerated
Many of them were graduates of high
schools, yet they could not always
write legibly, figure accurately, or spell
correctly. Perhaps they could write
a thesis on mythology, physiology or
biology, but they had not mastered
the first rudiments of the business in
which they hoped to make livelihood
Mr.. Forgan says there must be some
thing wrong with a school system.
that produces these results, and his.
belief is shared by nearly every sue
cessful business man who employs
young men and women.

President Lincoln, in the first year
II the civil war, propheSied that, il the
secession movement could be promptly
suppressed, the United Stat S would
have a population of 1O3, EOS,C00 in
1900.
He based this prediction on the per-
centage of increase in population from
1880 to 1860. The increase f4om 1879
to 1900 was a little over 80 per cent.
From 1900 to 1910, the increase was
36.05 per cent. There was a decline in
the ratio Of increase in the next dec
ade, but in 1880 there was an increase
of 1887 per cent, and in 1860 an in
crease of 1888 per cent. making an
average decennial increase of 34-61 per
cent in population for the seven
years from 1890 to 1850.
Assuming that this ratio Of increase
would be maintained, Mr.. Lincoln pre-
dicted that the United S es wou' d
have a population of 1928 900 in 1870,
Sc ,967 900 in 1880, 1851 900 in 1890.
1O3 ,2O8 900 in 1900. 1873, 91S. 900 in 1910.
1876 1884, 900 in 1920, and Psi, $4,000 in
1880.
But the civil war came, and the per-
centage of increase from 1850 TO 1879
fell to 2263 per cent The percentage
of increase went up to 80 per cent in
1880, dropped to 24.s3 per cent in 1890.
and to 21.S3 per cent for the decade
ending with 1900.
The population in 1870 failed to
reach Mr.. Lincolns estimate by &c.,
900. In 1880 the population VS.
6, 81 900 below the estimate, IA 055 900
below in 1890, and q, 913 900 blow IN
1900. The ratio of increase for the last
decade was the lowest in ninety years.

BILE is one of the most difficult sub

The lawyer looked up from mis- desk
and back again before he spoke. What
he glanced at was pale man of % or
%, who looked older. His face was
sensitive and was rather too sweet for
. positive manliness. When the lawyer
finally spoke it was to say:
1T will not hurt you or the book.
Have you given up your trip across
and to Vienna?"
Van Vliet looked uncomfortable.
Cant do both. can you?"
'No-and really the book comes first.
II it is all right but that, why not put
myself in the way OF making that
right"
Mr.. Morris thrust his hands into his
pockets and walked up and down the
room
Look here, Van, am pretty certain
the AStranhamS count on your going
over. 1t is actually question between
Gwendolen and the book-because Mr.
Astranham intimated to me that De-
brett King wanted to join the party
and we all know what Deb is after"
A rather peculiar look came about
Cecil Van Vliet's mouth.
so it is the book or the girl con-
tinued the lawyer.
A dreamy smile fitted over the face
of his hearer.
And which one is it, Van?"
Then came a quick movement from
the silent man and then a decisive ut
terance.
The book them like the girl, bet
ter than / wish / did. But maybe the
book can win the girl-but the book
first at all hazards"
In the sloping roof of small white
cottage there was set a deep dormer
window that looked over fields of en-
srald wheat and on the brown clods
