1HE's1ArE CENSUS.

Census enumerators in the pay OF
the state have practically completed
their work in this city. The returns
will show gain in population Of ap-
proximately 400 over the last govern
ment census. All things considered,
this is fair showing. Little empha-
sis is placed upon a state census, the
figures are seldom accurate and the
result is that its power for evil IS
much greater than it's power for good.
If the state census showed a gain OF
a hundred per cent in the population
of the city, 1T would not greatly aid
in boosting the city because it is the
government census that is taken as
a standard and the population of Of
tumwa will remain officially what 1t
was shown to be by the government
census In 1910 regardless of the in
crease shown by the state census.
But If the state census had shown a
falling off in population, that fact
would have been heralded far and
wide and might have resulted in some
harm to the city's interests. The fact
is that the taking of census by the
state is nuisance, the returns are
not conclusive and are not Of any SER
vice to anyone while they may be OF
considerable harm. 1t is needless
expense upon the taxpayers Of the
state-one from which they derive no
benefit.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-03-23

munity. their duty to themselves and
for their own best interests, to choose
as officials the men who will give
them the best administration. Exer-
else of good judgment in marking
their ballots will bring about the cleo
ton of the men best qualified to give
the city good administration.
The management of the city's bust
ness is a serious matter; It decides
the amount of taxes the property own
er has to pay and how long the high
levy is to be kept up. The city now
owes almost the legal limit OF 1ndebt-
edness. It has waterworks plant to
manage and its success or failure de-
ponds absolutely on it's management
The waterworks, unsuccessfully man
aged, can bankrupt the city. The dams
are to be built this year; thousands
of dollars of the peoples money VIII
be handled by the administration that
is elected and those most efficient
should be selected. The city owes
about $4,000 and If the bond issue
that was provided for by the voters
at the waterworks election last year,
is floated, the city will owe still more
Incompetent management of the
city during the next two years VIII
fasten a milestone around the necks
of the citizens of Ottumwa for the
next quarterfof century.
It is up to- the voter to use his ]udg'
ment and not his prejudice.

London, March Cot has been as
certained that the American steamer

Toxic, March 20.-Press dispatches
from America, in which 1t Is reported
that the United States has issued a
warning to Japan in connection with
the Chinese negotiations are accepted
here as an exaggeration Of the fact
that the United States recently made
inquiry concerning several points in
the Japanese demands as communi-
Gated to the powers.
While the foreign Office declines to
discuss the question, the inquiry Of the
United States, according to informa-
ton obtained in Japanese official
quarters, concerned minor points on
the Japanese demands, and Japan In
reply gave a full explanation, which

The campaign ended MONDAY Wnen

nominees were selected by the voters
of Ottumwa to stand for Office at the
final election March 20. The primary
brought up few if any issues that
will tend to becloud the real issue
efficient governmental the cleo
ton. The voters can therefore cen
ter their attention upon the respective
merits and abilities and principles of
the candidates. They should study
carefully each and every one of the
candidates who are asking for pub
lie office and vote for the three
who in their Judgment, are best fitted
to handle the affairs Of the city in a
fair and business like manner.
Personal prejudice should be rele.
gated to the background; Judgment
alone should be the guide followed by
the voters. Handling the business Of
a city of approximately $4,000 people
is big task and demands men Of the
very best caliber obtainable If the
CITY is to prosper, if its affairs are to
be administered in business like
manner. if it is to rank we'll with 9TH
