the state who is of any consequence
in the party is against the President.
The stories that some republicans in
Wall street are against him may safely
be disregarded. All the votes that may
be against him in Wall street are the
votes of democrats, who would be
against any republican. The chances,
indeed, are that Roosevelt will have
many democratic votes in Wall street.
No opposition is being offered to the
President In his party in his state, or
will be offered.
The democrats are going to make a
powerful effort to carry New York this
year. They practically gave up the
fight in that state in 1896, and 1900. 1t
was recognized as the enemy's coun-
try then. But at the present time, UNI

strong effort will be made to carry the

party manager. His work in getting

OUR RUSSIAN TRADE.

Sioux City Journal.-Between the
Russian merchants, who are counter
handing their orders because they do
not want to trade with Japanese SYM
pathizers, and the Russian government
which is countermanding it's orders
because of fear that the shipments
Will fall into the hands of the Japanese
as contraband, our commercial interest
IN the continuance of the war is rapidly
evaporating. 1t does not appear that
we can do anything to better the sit
uation.
The Russian merchants who will not
buy in America when they can buy
here most advantageously are doing a
very foolish thing. The United States
of strict neutrality, though our nation
al interest really lies with Japan's
side of the quarrel. That is all the Rus
slams can expect of the United States
government. Individual sympathy in
this government goes where it may
please, and as it happens, has found
its way readily to the Japanese side.
But it really means nothing to the
detriment of the Russian cause, so
long as these same individual Japanese
sympathizers approve of our govern
ments policy in remaining neutral. And
there is not likely to be any reversal
of that condition. If the Russian mer-
chants will look at the matter in a
business way they will find they have
no grievance against the United States.
AS to the countermanding of orders
on the part of the Russian govern
ment that is a matter of which we
have no right to complain. When
Russia started to fill up her cupboards
with our foodstuffs there was no APP
prehension that war would come be-
fore the orders could be filled. War
has come and Japan has secured control
of the sea leading to the Russian ports
near the scene of hostilities. There is
no question that foodstuffs intended
for the Russian army are contraband
of war and liable to seizure by the
Japanese navy. Russia would be fool
ish to buy goods in this country and
take them into oriental waters to be
confiscated by the Japs.

BOIL THE WATER.

Boil all your drinking water With
the approach of spring it should not
be forgotten that unusual care is need
ed to properly safeguard health. Not
only is this true as to the city and
the public health. but it applies with
equal force to the individual case.
While a general break up in the wealth.
er has not yet occurred, the warming
up which may come at any time, will
bring with it the dangers that always
follow the use of contaminated water.
Already there are many cases of
sickness in the city and with the
changeableness in temperature and
weather that will undoubtedly come
during the next few weeks the people
of Ottumwa will need to exercise the
greatest care to keep this list from
showing an increase. 1t is the opinion
of all physicians that whatever germs
of disease may be in water can be eff
fectively killed by boiling. It is there.
fore, unnecessary that anyone in OF.
tumwa should subject themselves to
needless exposure or danger of infec-
ton. Remember that the water is fill
ed with unhealthful stuff that should
not be taken into the stomach, do not
forget, BOIL THE WATER.

IowA's OLDEST EDITORS.

DEBORAH Republican, letter from
Col Eiboeck, editor Of the Iowa Stats
Anzeiger, Des Moines, settles the right
of priority in pioneer journalism in
this part of the state at least. Possibly
it is for the entire state Of those still In
editorial service.
Mr.. Eiboeck says he purchased the
Clayton County Journal August 4, 1859
1t was then published at Garnavillo
and when the county seat was removed
to Elkader the Journal and Eiboeck
followed it thither. In 1872 he sold his
paper to J. w. Shannon and went tc
Europe, where he visited and Travelled
for year. After that he located at
Des Moines. Two weeks ago he COM
pleted thirty weeks Of labor on his
Staaes-Anzeiger. This data permits
us to make the following table relat-
ing to editors now in service:
Col. Eiboeck In Clayton county in
July, 1859.
w. R. Mead in Howard county in Oc-
tober, 1859.
George D. Perkins in Blackhawk
county in February 1860.
A. X. Bailey in Winneshiek county
in April, 1860.
The second and last Of these stand
right by their first location.

IOWA DAIRY INTERESTS.

Iowa is not generally regarded as
the leading dairy state in the union. A
few years ago our state held that rank
and at one time produced nearly one.
fifth of all the creamery butter
marketed in the United States. The
dairy interests have suffered depres.
sion during recent years and syste.
matte efforts are now being made to
revive and strengthen this industry
The Iowa legislature is asked for an
appropriation Of $4,000 for modern
fire-proof, thoroughly equipped dairy
building at Ames and $4,000 for the
purchase of additional land for estab.
fishing dairy and poultry farm. The
dairy farm will be good investment
as the local milk supply near the col.
,lege has been absorbed by the board.
ing houses. 1t will also strengthen the
educational work along these lines.
Less has been done for the dairy in.
dustry of Iowa at Ames than in any
one of the states surrounding Iowa,
with one exception.
A bulletin from the dairy department
of the Iowa State college is now in the
hands of the printer. This bulletin
gives the results of an investigation
extending over a period of about eight.
cen months. The observations for this
work We're begun by Professor Mckay

A REPRESENTATIVE CITIZEN.

The voters of the fifth ward can
make no mistake in casting their bal
lot for Emil Fecht for alderman at
the election to be held next Monday.
Mr.. Fecht is one. of the representative
citizens of the fifth ward and the city
OF Ottumwa and his election as alder
man will insure the people an able rep
resentatlve in the city council. His
years of residence in Ottumwa has ac-
quainted him thoroughly with condi-
tons and affairs of public moment.
His successful business life has given
to him training that will eminently
fit him to assist in the solution of
these problems.
+ The fifth ward embraces one of the
newest parts of the city of Ottumwa
and its people are among the most
energetic and enterprising of Ottum-
was citizens. In the matter of resi-
dence buildings alone the fifth ward
has shown probably greater activity
than any other portion of the city dur
ing recent years. Following this work
comes that OF improving the streets,
sidewalks and all surroundings. AS a
member of the city council Mr.. Fecht
would be of marked benefit to the peo-
pie in carrying on this work of i'm
provement. From any standpoint
whatever the fitness of Mr.. Fecht for
the Office for which he has been nom
mated cannot be questioned and the
people of the fifth ward will be doing
themselves as well as the the people
OF Ottumwa good service by giving
him their support at the polls.

while on a trip abroad inspecting the
dairy work of foreign countries in the
summer of 1901. The moisture con-
tent has been found to be one of the
chief factors in butter. making.
Strangely enough butter that appears
dry" often has relatively high per-
centage of water, and butter that is
commonly called "watery," is fire.
quently shown by chemical ANALYSIS to
contain low percentage of water. 1t
was fist discovered that the Danish
butter makers, who make the finest
butter sold on the London market were
putting more water in their butter
than the Americans and at the same
time making better butter that would
command higher price in the world s
best markets. The secret of this pro-
cess has been discovered at the Iowa
dairy school at Ames, and will be CIV
en- to the butter makers of Iowa with
out cost. The process is simple and
may be applied in every creamery and
on every farm, where butter is made
without the outlay of a single dollar.
The results of this investigation will
make 1t possible to increase the value
OF the butter product of the state by
approximately half million dollars
annually and at the same time give to
the consumer better article. The
bulletin is free and may be had on APP
plication to G. F. Curtiss, director of
the experiment station at Ames.

JANUARY EXPORTS.

Exports of manufactures in January
and in the seven months ending with
January show larger total than ever
before in the same portions of the
year. For the month Of January they
amounted to $3S,213,352, while the
highest January record on any former
occasion was that of 1900 when they
were $S5,5S6,940. For the seven
months ending with January they
amount to $250,214,936 and the highest
record for that seven months period
in any preceding year was that end
ing with January 1901, when the total
was $239, 564,064. Thus the total for
January is $25O,O0O,OOO in excess of
any preceding January AMI for the sew
en- months ending with January is
about $11, 100000 more than in any pre-
ceding seven months ending with Jan
uary. These figures are shown by
an analysis of the January exports
just prepared by the department of
commerce and labor through it's bu-
reau of statistics.
This increase of $2O,OoO,OOO in ex.
ports of manufactures in the seven
months ending with January as com
pared with the corresponding seven
months of last year is distributed
among most of the leading classes OF
manufactures exported. BY far the
largest increase occurs in manufactur.
ed copper of which the exports in the
seven months ending with January
1904 are reported at $31,552,677
against s22,514,s43 for the correspond.
ing months of last year and S19,038,.
1923 for the corresponding period of
the year preceding. Refined mineral
oil is next in the list of manufactured
articles showing an increase in export
values, being for the seven months
ending with January 1904, $4,000, 461
against $35,324,967 in the correspond
ing months of last year and S40,664,
900 in the corresponding period of the
preceding year.
Iron and steel stand next in the list
Of manufactured articles showing an
increase in exports. The total value
of iron and steel exported in the seven
months ending with January 1904 is
$59,125,7S0, against $55,997942 in the
corresponding months ending with
January 1903 and $57,310,12S In the
corresponding months Of the preceding
year. For January alone the exports
of iron and steel are $S,171,73S against
81, 437.29S in January 1903, making the
increase for the single month $734,44C
and for the seven months about So,
100000. Agricultural implements also
show an increase in exports, amount
ing to little over $2,000,O00 for the
seven months ending with January
1904 as compared with the correspond
ing months of last year and about 81,
100000 increase as compared with the
seven months ending with January
1902.
