IOWA POPULATION LESS
Population of State Has Decreased
Since 1900.
PRINCIPAL CITIES INCREASE.
Explanation Of Decrease is That
Farmers Have Left State For
West and Northwest.

The population of Iowa according
to statement issued from the
census bureau is 2,224,771 This is
a decrease of 1882 since 1900 or
0.3 per cent. In the ten years be-
tween 1890 and 1900 the state had
an increase of 1882, or 1877
per cent.
The decrease in the population of
Iowa is not a surprise, as it was
in line With what was expected in
the agricultrrai regions of the
middle west Director Durand at
tributes the falling off to the fact
that the land is already fully occu-
pied and a general tendency toward
larger farms. He says growth can
not be excepted unless there is
change to more intensive cultiva-
ton.
. There has been large emigra-
ton from Iowa into Canada and
into western states and territories
in search of cheaper lands than can
be obtained at home. Many Iowans
also have gone to the cities. The
falling off in the population in
Iowa was general throughout the
state except in the larger cities and
towns In most of these there was
growth. Unless the present
basis OF apportionment is retained
it is probable Iowa will lose one
of her eleven members in congress.
Following is the population OF
the counties of the fourth district,
onp,paro6 with 1Q00.

tlAUGFN CARRIES DISTRICT BY ONLY 247
e. Republicans Ticket
Christopher Democl>s Elected Auditor by 2s1 and Wise,
Democat,%, It's Recorder

One of the most bitterly contest
ed political campaigns in the history
CT Iowa and Winnesheik county
closed yesterday with election day.
Since the primary election in June
the various candidates have employ
ed every opportunity to solicit sup
port, and during the past few weeks
every nook and corner of the county
has been covered with candidates
and speakers. Many meetings have
been held in various parts of the
county, and the newspapers and the
mails have been used to an unusual
extent in impressing upon the public
the claims of the various candidates.
The democratic party in the coun>
ty, district and state have been
mere active than for many years.
They announced their determination
at the outset of capturing several OF
the Offices this year, and started out
with vim and conducted their CAM
paign strenuously to the finish. They
relied upon the factionalism within
the republican party to give them
support from the ranks of the OPP
position, and upon various condi-
tions throughout the state as well as
the district and county to give them
an opportunity this fall which they
have not had in some time. The re-
suit has been that predictions of all
sorts have been made during the
past few weeks. The past few days
much money has been wagered upon
several of the county candidates,
and the result is bound to be dis
appointment to many as well as
joy to as many others.
M Yesterday war a cool, cloudy day,
with excellent roads and there was
nothing except work in the corn
fields to keep the farmers from go
ing to the polls. Extra efforts were
made throughout the county to get
out the vote, and the result shows
how successful 1t was.
While "a general bombardment OF
republican ranks was kept up all
along the line, yet the democratic
Z party in this county laid special
stress upon the Offices of congress-
man, state senator, auditor, record
er, sheriff and attorney. For each
of these offices they nominated
( strong candidates, as in fact they
did in every case, an then used ev-
cry advantage within their power to
elect them.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1910-11-09

The result isA they have been
successful in elect ], their candi-
dates for Auditor, Ernest Christie
pher and for Recorder, Allen Wise.
Both of these gentlemen made
strong campaigns, canvassing the
county thoroughly. They are both
fine young men, thoroughly compe>
tent in every way and will make good
officials. The remainder of the re-
publican ticket is all elected, but
some of them by small majorities.
In the district the campaign for
congressman has been the most ex-
citing in years. The democrats nom-
mated unquestionably their strong
est man, Hon. d. d. Murphy of Ell
kader, cultured, educated, promin-
ent man, and a splendid speaker.
He stumped the district, and was
ably supported by other speakers
and workers. ongressman Hau-
gems long term in Office, and MS
long delays and ,quibbling aboHt
postoffice appointments were prob
ably, the two main reasons for the
opposition against him. He had en-
gendered animosities in practically
every county in the district, for the
revolt against him is everywhere
strong, especially noticeable here in
Winnesheik, where it would natur-
ally be presumed that he would poll
a large vote. The fact that he lost
every ward in the city of Decorah
shows plainly that his influence and
his strength among the people IS
gone.
In the state the governorship is
in doubt, with the chances in favor
of Porter's election. The factional-
ism within the republican party and
the support of tae liquor interests
must be accredited TO the strong
showing made by the democratic
candidate, Thousands Of Insurgents
bolted Carroll and the liq!or inter-
ests of the state backed up Porter
with all their power
II hospital proposition took to
the woods early in the day, as was
expected. and has not shown up

cincts returned the vote on this
proposition, but it is certain that 1t
is defeated by an overwhelming
vote

Returns from New York and over
the nation show that the next Con-
gress will be heavily democratic, as
follows: Democrats elected 311
members, Republicans elected $50,
Socialists elected /. Democratic
majority over all 80. New York,
Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Indiana, Connecticut, all report de-
mocratic successes. Even rock-rib-
he'd Iowa elected democratic gov
ernor. Indiana elected twelve out
of thirteen democrats to congress,
defeating Beveridge for reelection
to the Senate by choosing demo-
cratic legislature. Victor Berger,
Socialist, elected TO congress in fifth

"LOVE YOUR JOB"

This brief admonition holds the
germ of success. If you have a job,
love 1t and show your appreciation
of it by doing the very best work
possible. 1t is the boy or young
man who makes a makeShift of his
job who is continually losing out,
and the reasons therefor are so OBJ
vious as not to need setting forth
How often do we hear a young man
say, "Well, I'll take this job until
something better turns up" The
young man who works along such
lines is only laying up future trouble
for himself and, in nine cases out of
ten, never acccmplishes anything.
The men of today who have arrived,
who stand at the head of their pro-
fessions, are men who stayed with
their jobs as long as the jobs stayed
with them and who are not continu-
ally and everlastingly quitting one
job to take another that promised
easier work and more pay.
That work pays best into which a
man puts intelligent effort, and the
ability to put forth intelligent ef-
fort is only acquired by those who
love the work they are engaged in.
The man who does not love his oc-
cupation works at it under protest
and the man who works thus is the
poorest kind of an employe, both
from his employers and his own
standpoint
stick to your bush!" The
young man who sticks to his bush
through thick and thin is the young
man who will succeed, Few of the
successful men of today have ac-
quired their place without personal
effort. Each, in fact, has stuck to
his bush pretty steadily and filled
his pail while his foolish compan-
ions were searching for bushes more
heavily ladened with fruit.
They, while others slept, were
climbing upwards in the night"
The young man can never rise if he
works by the clock. Thomas A..
Edison works twenty out of the
twenty-four hours of the day. He
pursued the same policy when he
was working for others, always la
boring for results, not merely for
wages. The same is true of other
men who have made a place for
themselves in this busy world of
ours.
In this city the same questions
confront parents that veX those of
other towns, that is, what to do with
their boys. The boy is sure vex-
ing problem and in many cases par
ents fail of the right solution be-
cause they do not insist on the boy
himself taking a hand therein. They
permit the boy to drift from one
thing to another in order to find his
proper niche and with each success
sive drift" he loses something of
self-respect and the ability to stay
put. Love your work. and
''stick to your bush," are two axi-
oms that every boy should learn
and cherish.

About as good way to study
human nature is when you are driv-
ing on the public road. If a man is
willing to observe the laws and the
courtesies of the road he will duly
give his share of it when meeting
another, and show he is willing to
do the gentlemanly thing about it.
But when you meet one who takes
every advantage of those he meets,
and holds the road for his own sell
fish self, often to the great diseom-
fort of those he meets. or will not
allow them to pass, we are almost
sure to think of pork in connection
with such drivers of teams.
