The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-04-22

With the installation of a mod
ern new press the Review feels that
it is on the threshold of an era OF eX-
pansion, progress and usefulness
greater than any that it has ever
known during the forty-nine years OF
it's eventful existence. 1t will not be
amiss briefly to review the career of
the paper at this time. Such a re-
sumo cannot fail to be Of general in
terest because newspaper is more
than private enterprise-it is as
we'll a conservation of public inter-
ests, a moulder Of public opinion,
moulder of public thought. 1t is the
crucible in which the true community
spirit is developed.
1t is doubtful if any community
which possesses good newspaper can
realize its value unless the newspaper
is suddenly withdrawn. Then there
will come the keen realization OF it's
value-how it unifies the interest and
endeavors of the city and county in
which it is published; keeps the peo-
pie thoroughly informed of all that
is going on among them; safeguards
the institutions of democracy by the
searching study it makes Of all Off
cial transactions; promotes COM
merce by carrying the advertising OF
the enterprising merchants to his Gus
toners at their fireside, and industry
by chronicling every opportunity that
arises within its territory for the eyes
of the interested outsiders.
The Review has tried faithfully to
fulfill all of these functions in achiev-
ing for itself a measure Of success. 1t
has, in addition, irradiated at least
some of the benefits to the communi-
ty; perhaps all of them.
The Boyer Valley Record was estab-
lished in 1860 and was first published
by Mr.. J. W. Denison, founder of our
town, with more or less success. Mr..
Newton Brogdcn, now OF Deloit, as
sisted in the printing Office at that
time. Shortly after the establishment
of the paper the editor, Mr.. Crow
ell, removed to other parts and Mr.. G.
w. Stephens, an expert printer, was
secured from jefferson, who, together
with Mr.. NJ. H. Money, then editor of
the Jefferson Bee, leased the plant.
The name of the paper was changed
to the Denison Review and the date.
of the first issue under the new head
was May 3, 1867. The paper was six
column folio, or four page paper.
After two years struggle pubica-
ton was suspended until July 16,
1869, when Mr.. J. d. Ainsworth, with
the assistance of Mr. H. G. Laub, pur-
chased the plant and re-establisied
the paper, which has been in continu-
Gus existence since that time and has
the honor of being the Oldest institu
ton in Crawford county, doing bust
ness under the same name.
In the year 1874, Mr.. j. Fred Meyers
came to Denson from Washington, d.
c., looking for newspaper location.
He became interested in Denison and
was assured the cordial support of the
people. In the fall OF 1874 Mr.. Meyers
purchased the Review and retained an
active interest in its fortunes until
the time of his death in 1898, with
the exception Of two years, or until
1882. At this time the Review was

sold to Wrigley Brothers, now OF Ere
mont, O., who conducted the paper
for two years, when it was repur-
chased by Mr.. Meyers. Upon his death
his son, f. w. Meyers, assumed con-
troll until January, 1905, when the Re-
view Publishing company was formed,
with Mr.. Meyers as manager and j. +.
Conner as the principal stockholder.
Upon the retirement of Mr.. Meyers
the management was taken up by Mr..
R. P. Conner, who has continued the
paper to date.
The Review has been consistently
republican since its first issue and has
done much in the support OF its party
principles and to secure those hon
ors which have been worthily be-
slowed upon Denison citizens from
time to time.
The paper now has a circulation of
$500 paid subscribers, covering Craw-
ford county like blanket; prints
from twelve to sixteen pages each is
sue; has corps OF twenty-five cash
paid correspondents; carries very
heavy line OF advertising and has a
pay roll equal to many Of the larger
offices.
Clean cut workmanship and honest
values have marked the advertising
and job departments at all times. The
management of the paper believes
that self respecting journals adver-
Using space is a merchantable COM
modify representing one hundred
cents in value for enc dollar. 1t has
no tolerance for the alms-taking atti-
tude of some newspapers in solicit
ing advertising-it insists upon its in
dependence and integrity as bust
ness institution. 1t has campaigned
vigorously for advertising, but has
never hesitated to release an adver
tiser at any time when he felt that
he was not getting value received.
This policy has now been adhered
to long enough to demonstrate its
wisdom. Having confidence in the
value of its own wares, the Den!son
Review has inspired and won the con.
fidence of its patrons. AS a result OF
its policy CT selling its advertising
upon its merit as advertised, backed
by a wide, bona fide circulation, the
Denison Review has built up one of
the most profitable and progressive
newspaper enterprises in western
Iowa. It's plan of operation has been
the essence of simplicity. BY main
tanning high standard OF journalistic
excellence in its paper, it has had the
base upon which TO build large and
appreciative reading public, and by
virtue of this extensive and discrim-
mating circle OF subscribers it has
very naturally won universal rccogni-
ton of the merit of its advertising
column.
The publishers OF the Review have
abundant faith in the future of Den
ison and Crawford county They be-
licve that Denison is destined to be
city of 10000 inhabitants within a
few short years. In the vista of years
to come nothing is visible but prog
ress and prosperity and the Review
expects to continue to serve its con-
stituents faithfully and well and to
achieve that modicum of success
which will enable it to always keep
abreast of the best that the times af-
ford.

but he will have no occasion to look
after his canvass for nomination, in
asmuch as there is no opposition to
him in the district. The contest will

are generally from the southern part
of the district.

phere the parade Of finery was about up
to the standard Of former occasions.
The churches we're filled with people in
spring clothes, many Of them interested
in the services. and others. Anyway
the minister felt that it was one Of the
best Sundays OF the year. He usually
does. A contrite heart is always thank
full. The birth Of spring brings new
life, and no wonder that all nature
smiles. Hope springs eternal, and
whether we understand or not our moral
obligations the stimulating effects of the
wine of spring are indeed stirring US to
kinship and sympathy with the beauti-
full season and all its bright colors and
beautiful yerdure.

Economy at Washington.

Congressman Johnson, an obscur,
member from South Carolina, has a.
last gained striking prominence as an
advocate Of economy Congressman
Johnson is a Democrat, and among
other planks in the Democratic platform
is one requiring radical reforms in order
that the government may be conducted
on more economical basis.
Feeling it to be his duty to strike ID
the right direction, the humble member
from South Carolina moved that the
venerable and venerated form Of graft
50 dear to all members Of Congress the
mileage grab--be abolished.
Most OF the older members could
hardly believe their ears. Then they
smiled and looked at each other. The
common expression seemed to say, we
will forgive him this time, for he does
not know what he is doing.
The mileage grab is a perquisite dear
to all Congressional hearts. whether Re-
Democrat or Progressive. The
mileage donation has been legacy in
Congress, descended from the CONT
mental Congress and the days Of the
revolution.
In the days when men had to travel
on horseback or by stage coach from
point to point and stop at roadside tav-
erns 20 cents a mile was not an exces-
sive allowance to make our Congress-
men, but to-day when railroad rates
rarely exceed four cents mile it looks
that the corresponding re-
iuction should be made in the Con-
gressional appropriation.
Congressman Johnson did not ask
hat the mileage be abolished altogether
-only that it be confined to the actual
expenses Of Congressman.
It will be many days before this COM
ortable grab will be abolished.
As another evidence OF the economic
pirit Of Congress the salary of.Congres-
ional secretaries was increased from
Il, 800 to $1,000 year. Each Con-
FRESHMAN is paid 1900 year and is
Flowed the additional amount for his
ecretary's salary. This in addition to
laving his mail handled free and his
Mileage and other perquisites make it a
comfortable Office to hold.
The man who made the most deter
mined fight against Congressman john
on was Congressman Humphries, who
rails from the distant State Of Washing
on. II is easy to understand why he
hould oppose such measure. Twenty
ents mile paid backward and forward
vice each year means nice bit Of pin
money for even 2 Congressman. The

NATIONS PLAN TO
RECOGNIZE REBELS
BRITISH ADMiRAL'S CALL ON
GENERAL GONZALES THOUGHT
TO BE SIGNIFICANT.
Regarded as Possible That United
States May Recognize Rebel Gov
eminent, Feeling That Huerta
Government is Doomed.

Washington.-It seems to be the
opinion of the state department that
the action OF the British P Imiral, Sir
Christopher Cradock, and his entire
staff, in making a formal cali on the
constitutionalist general Gonzales,
may be regarded as recognition by
Great Britain of the belligerency OF
the constitutionalists A similar step
on the part of the United States is
expected, by some people, within a
few days.
The failure of Huerta to explain
the fate of Consul Silliman, Core
spondent Doster and Private Parks
has brought about situation so acute
that orders for the embarkation of
more troops at Galveston for Vera
Cruz are expected at any moment.
The probable recognition by Great
Britain of the belligerency of the CON
stitutionalists is of great significance,
particularly in view of the fact that
Greta Britain was one of the foreign
nations to recognize Huerta in the
first instance.
The loss of Tampico and Tuxpam,
the latter being credited as reliable
news, makes it all the more useless.
In the view OF advisers of the presi.
dent, for Huerta to endeavor to tenn
porize by suggesting terms to the
United States.
