The South's Enthusiastic Reception
of Roosevelt.
New Berne Journal.

-NtN JOuEllul.
Nothing goes to prove so cOnclu-
sively the patriotism of the South, as
some public occasion which brings
together number of her people, to
meet or hear some prominent citizen
of the country.
From u Northerner' point of view,
the receptions rendered the President
on his trip through Dixie Land, at
the many places where he stopped,
are a good deal of revelation. The
TACT that the Democratic South could
give Republican President such en-
thusiastic greetings, from a distance
looks impossible and improbable, but
the press tells the story, and words
fail to express the full sincerity of the
hundreds of thousands of Southern
Americans, and OF their splendid
greetings, to their President.
1t Is foolish to think or claim that
President Roosevelt has brought the
South closer to the North, yet such
stuff is written, as if the South was
not us much the United States as all
the rest OF the country, therefore
PRESIDENT Roosevelt as the South
President, receives Il loyal greeting
from the time he enters Dixie Land
until he leaves it.
President Roosevelt 5 politics. if he
has any as President, could be no dis
turbing factor in his visit South, and
as the South's guest, for the people
only recognized him as their guest.
therefore worthy and entitled to the
utmost courtesies, and being Presi-
dent, the greater courtesy. And
aside from being the Chief Executive
OF tbs Nation, the South and its
people do not fail to recognize the
splendid personal character of Mr..
Roosevelt, and his honest and hear
ty AmericaniSm. His personality
and individuality appeal to South
ern people, who appreciate and ad-
mire his honesty and steadfastness
OF purpose in all he undertakes.

Despite the fear OF state oficlals
that the new Iowa oensus will show n
decrease In tho population within the
past Ave years, Director North OF tho
federal census bureau credits Iowa
with q gain OF 1886 in the past year
and a gal nof tb9,7s0 In Ave years.
According TO Director North the
population of Iowa today is 2,301,633,
whereas on June 1, 1904, Il was but
2,359,677, while tho official 1900 cen.
sus gave II as ~2,23t,S52. Director
North does not have actual reports
upon which to base his 1906 estimate,
but II has been prepared with care,
based on tho rate OF increase for the
past fifty years, OF the tendency OF
immigration and all the other factors
entering into tho matter.
Between 1890 and 1900 the popula,
ton OF Iowa increased 1877 per cent,
Conceding that In the five years since
1900 II has increased at the same
ratio. or 83 per cent for the period,
the highest population today would be
2,417, 900, a considerable increase over
director North's estimate. There
does not seem to be any reason,
therefore, why the estimate OF 1891,
G33 should be considered exaggerated,
The total population OF the United
States Is estimated by Director North
to be 82,6iS;020, an increase OF 1904
500 over the population OF 1904 and
Of 6,214,G33 over that OF 1900. New
York still leads all Of tho states in
the union In the matter OF population.
followed by Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Ohio.
When II ID considered that in one
day recently in n port alone-New
York,--ten steamship liners arrived
and discharged 1909 immigrants, ths
extent TO which the population OF the
country Is increasing q BIO better
Understood. Never before have &c
many stcerage passengers come into
the port in a single day.

The crime for which Hoch will be

his last wife, Mrs. Welcker Hoch,
Hoch had been married to this woman
but a few days when she became sud
denly III and died. He then formed
ap alliance with the sister Of the dead

IN quest Of revenge, notified the police

testimony was offered by the state
that Hoch had poisoned the woman by
administering arsenic.
