THE PREsIpENT,s VISIT.

President Taft is Iowa's honored
guest today. He came to Des Moines
to make an early morning visit, but
ne was not too early to find the people
up and waiting to greet him. This
afternoon he is speeding west through
the state on his notable journey.
The assertion has been made that
President Taft is making a political
mistake in attempting trip of this
nature at time when there is no
political campaign to stir up enthus-
1asm. and so soon after the passage
of new tariff law which is viewed
from varying angles by different
states of diversified interests. But the
reception that has been given Presi-
dent Taft thus far does not bear out
this assertion. The president has been
given an enthusiastic and whole.
hearted greeting, and there is no ques-
ton that he will be a gamer in pop
ularity when he returns to Washing
ton in November.
President Taft's idea in making a
trip of such magnitude is to get first
hand information as to the problems
with which his administration will
have to deal. He wants to know what
the people think of the tariff. He wants
to gain a clearer insight into the
vests position on the conservation
and reclamation questions He will
investigate the feasibility of the lakes
to-the-s alf waterway and other pro-
jects of similar nature.
Before he was chosen by the people
as their executive Taft got the habit
Of travelling. He has been called the
greatest traveller of his time, some,
statistician figuring out that he has
travelled 100000 miles in the last nine
years or nearly nine times around the
earth. AS governor of the Philippines
and later cabinet officer, Taft got
the habit of jumping on train or
steamer and getting right to the
scene of any difficulty that came up.
He was not long then in coming to a
solution of the trouble. This present
trip should have such successful re-
suits as his former ones. Whether it
adds to his popularity or not, it will
give him closer insight into the
needs and aspirations of the people
whose affairs he has been chosen to
administer and it will better qualify
him to solve the problems of his ad-
ministration.

Weekly Crop Report

pes Moines, Sept. 21.-The past
week has been favorable for farm
work and the ripening of the belated
corn, although the first two or three
days were cool, cloudy and wet The
average temperature was, however.
above the normal, the latter half of
the week being warm and pleasant.
The rainfall was copious in all parts
of the state, and in many localities
the amounts ranged from two to over
three inches. Severe wind storms
accompanied the rain on the evening
Of the 18th and did considerable dam
age to the corn, especially in north
ern, western and southwestern coun-
ties. The corn stalks in many fields
were broken or uprooted, but for the
state at large the crop has made SAT-
lsfactory advance toward maturity.
and fully 60 per cent of it is now be-
yond danger of an ordinary heavy
frost. The late corn will require from
ten davis to two weeks of warm, dry
weather to mature, and, as usual, a
small percentage of the crop will
need until the middle of October. Con.
siderable corn has been cut and
shocked or nut in silos. The rains
have softened the ground, which is
now in excellent condition for plow-
ing and seeding winter grains, and
this work has progressed rapidly dur
ing the past four or five days. Some
clover has been cut for seed in the
southern counties.

And when he achieved power it did
not turn his head.
Gov Johnson's administrations have
been successful. Although Demo-
crat, he was elected by big MAORI
ties in a strong Republican state, He
was Bryan's chief opponent for tha
Democratic nomination for president
last year and was freely talked of as
the logical candidate of his party for
the presidency in 1912.
An incident that occurred during
Johnsons first campaign Is well re-
membered. In an attempt to cheaper
Johnson before the voters story was
circulated from, some source that
Johnson's father was drunkard and
his mother washerwoman. But
where this story was intended to in.
jure Johnson it served to make him
immensely popular. 1t developed that
the story was true. Johnson's father
was a shiftless neer-do-well. His
mother did take in washing to support
the family. But when Johnson was
able to go to work he helped his moth.
er. When he had gained foothold
and was able to support the family,
he took the burden from his mothers
shoulders and she never returned to
the washtub. Johnson would not deny
the story because he was not ashamed
that his mother had taken in wash
ing to feed a hungry brood. The peo-
pie proved that they liked this sort OF
character with the honors they gave
him.
Death is always sad when it takes
man in his prime. 1t is doubly sad
in Johnson's case, for not only were
the best years of his life unfolding
before him, but greater honors were
in store for him than he had yet
achieved.

THE ISLE OF PINES.

Senator Clapp of Minnesota has
taken up the cudgels in behalf of the
Americans who have settled in the
Isle Of Pines since the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and who have found that
they have become expatriated. Writ
Ing in the North American Review
Senator Clapp says:
"On the strength of assurances Of
6cially made by responsible officers OF
the United States government ten or
more years ago, nearly three thous-
and Americans have become interest
ed as residents or property owners in
the Isle of Pines. At least nine-tenths
Of the land of the island is now own
ed by citizens of the United States I'M
der titles bought in good faith and
paid for to the Cuban and Spanish
owners. They have built their homes
there, established churches, schools,
banks, newspapers, transportation
lines and all the adjuncts of American
civilization. The conditions which
have prevailed in the island for hun
dreds of years, under Spanish rule
would, with favorable conditions, be
mitigated by American ownership.
Our people show both a willingness
and capacity for developing it's
splendid resources, and they feel that
they are entitled to encouragement by
the maintenance of American soy
ereignty, instead of enduring prostra-
ton and loss through expatriation to
an alien flag.
"Our fellow citizens have spent
their money in the purchase of farms,
have moved their families thereto,
built their homes, and endured all the
discomforts of pioneering, with the
distinct understanding, based on their
Interpretation of the language of the
treaty and on official assurances from
our government, that they were en-
titled to, and would receive, the rfo-
lection of the American flag. They
now find themselves abandoned by
their government and subjected to the
rule of foreigners whose history,
traditions and policies are altogether
different from any to which they have
been accustomed"
There are several Ottumwans and
people from this vicinity who are
land owners in this isle, which is near
Cuba. Iowa contributed large share
Df the American blood that has mod
ernized this little possession If they
were misled into making these invest
ments through Misrepresentation by
government officials, as Senator Clamp
says is the case, Iowa will be interest
ed in knowing Just what the govern
ment IS going to do about it. Ii they
have been made the victims of mis-
placed confidence they have some
rights In the premises that should de-
mand consideration.
