Eiboeck's Inaugural "English Department"
German press; Iowa politics; temperance; license law; Treasurer of State; Henry Kellner
Eiboeck, incoming editor of the <em>Staats-Anzeiger</em>, explains his goals for the paper. His main innovation is his "English Department": a weekly editorial column in English to reach non-German readers and advocate for "personal liberty" (and against Prohibition) "in the language in which it will be most effective."

Fannie Eiboeck obituary

Hensen; Robert Knauer; Lafayette Young (Joung), Sr.; Harvey Ingham; Moses Strauß, William G. Hale; Louis Dippel, Paul Kraetsch; Gustav Buechsenstein; Frank P. Mattes; Gottfried Ball; Minnie McFarland; M. Howard
The <em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em> reports on the death of Fannie Eiboeck, who died just three days after her husband Joseph. The obituary gives details of the funerals of both individuals. Minnie McFarland and Ms. M. Howard, surviving family members, offer their thanks to those who contributed flowers and attended the funerals.<br /><br />Of note is that Lafayette Young, Sr., journalist and U.S. senator (1910-11), served as an honorary pall bearer at Joseph Eiboeck's funeral. During World War I, Young served as chair of the State Council of Defense, which was charged with securing crop production and rooting out perceived seditious activity within Iowa. The Council forbade the teaching of German in public schools and was highly suspicious of the German-language press that Eiboeck had championed in Iowa. It is unclear how well Eiboeck and Young knew each other.

Front page of <em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em> on outbreak of World War I in Europe
World War I
On 6 August 1914, the <em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em> devoted its top headline to "Germany at War with Russia and France!" The front page also reveals a completely German format, a break with former editor Joseph Eiboeck's practice of including English-language editorials on current issues as a regular feature of the paper.
