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."

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.
