THE PRESIDENTS JOURNEY.
View of Trip as Seen in East Barren of
Results.

President Taft has now completed
his trip across the country. He has
visited Michigan, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
California, Nevada, Utah, Montana,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois
again, and Pennsylvania. The journey
covered about thirteen thousand miles
Although the trip has not been an easy
one, the president comes from the Far
West, so we learn from despatch to
the New York Evening Post" in
practically as good physical condition
as when he boarded his private car in
Boston; only once has his voice grown
husky, and only once has he failed to
accept an invitation to take part in a
function arranged with a view to his
presence.
The trip has not been without some
peril Climbing Mount Rainier, the
presidents automobile skidded. Had it
gone eighteen inches further the car
and it's passengers would have drop
ped some thousands of feet into the
chasm up which they were climbing.
On the Ell Captain bridge sticks Of
dynamite with fuse had been placed
under one of the central spans, but
were fortunately discovered by a
Waterman, to whom the president
probably owes his life. Near Kelso,
Nevada, a mishap to the train was
narrowly averted by the discovery OF
slipping tire on one of the locomo-
tive's wheels. The perils of travel in
our time are not great, but they are
greater than the perils of staying at
home, and the life of the president is
of more concern to the nation than
the life of probably any single citizen
What has been the effect of the
presidents trip? He has rarely been
welcomed with enthusiasm, but gener-
| ally with cordially, and always with
respect-with, so far as we know, only
one exception, when newspaper
brought dishonor upon itself by the
publication of cartoon intended to
cast dishonor upon the president His
speech has been characteristically
frank. He has told his audiences. not
what he thought they wanted to hear
but what he thought they ought tc
hear He has strong convictions and
| has expressed them with strength
| Those convictions do not seem to us
always consistent, nor always based on
a coherent policy; but the inconsist-
ency is never that of man PROCESSING
| to believe different things in his adj
dresses to different audiences. We
do not think that the object of this
journey has been to promote either his
nomination or his election. We be-
lieve that its object has been to pre-
sent to the country policies which he
thinks are for the ADVANTAGE of the
/ country. 1t has been distinctly poll
teal campaign, but a campaign fol
national policies, not for personal adj
yancement We doubt, however
whether 1t has done much to promote
either his personal advancement OF
the national acceptance OF his policies
The echoes of the press confirm thu
estimate of the Philadelphia Record:
|"Though heartily greeted everywhere
by the masses, there is no evidence
THAT their sentiments toward him ant

Compo- Board Is winning new laurels {;
every day new users are being found
for 1t.
Only last week, very dear friend OF
mine was in to visit me and told me
about her experience with Compo- Board
It seems that she had what should have
been a good fruit cellar. but for some
reason or other. the fruit, potatoes, ETC.,
froze every winter and when the spring
time came, the apples spoiled and tho
potatoes sprouted, to say nothing about
the canned goods working.
My friend $ a good thrifty farmer 8
vie, and likes to lay il q winters sup
ply early in the fall. In talking With the
local lumber dealer he advised her to
line the inside of her fruit cellar with
Compo- Board, also tho ceiling, making a
dead air space on all sides, like a re-
frigerator. She gave him the dimensions
of the fruit cellar and was agreeably
surprised to find that it would only take
only few dollars. Her husband put
the Compo-Board on one Saturday after
noon, with her help, and since then she
has had no trouble with fruit or vege-
tables spelling or freezing
am giving her experience in hopes 1t
may solve some CT your troubles in this

direction. Another thing she did with
Co-lpo-Board was to line her chicken
coop with it. The chickens had given
her considerable trouble with frozen combs
and roup, due to the chicken house be-
ing "draughty"-or in other words, too
much ventilation where 1t wasn't wanted.
By covering the walls, door and ceiling
with Compo-Board she made the coop as
warm and mug as could be. with the
result that there have been no more
1rozen combs, no roup and best Of all,
the hens have laid nearly all winter.
In ordering the Compo-Board, she made
a slight mistake and found that she had
several pieces left over. Happy thought!
Why not take what's left and make
closet in the north bed room? She called
up the lumber yard and they sent her
enough pieces of lumber inches square
and the right length to make supports
to which the Compo-Board was nailed;
then she covered the closet outside with
wall paper to match the balance of the
room and in this way made a rloth-proof
closet at a very slight cost.
Compo-Board is easy and clean to put
on, does not curl or buckle ana last but
not least, is perfectly sanitary. Rcmem-

his administration have undergone a
favorable change" With this tallies
the report of the Chicago "Tribune's'
special correspondent, who has been
following Mr.. Taft This correspond
ent reports that while there has been
a welcome for him personally, there
is no sign that the tour has been a
political success.
Mr.. Taft has now made two extern
sive tours of the country; the first in
the fall following his election, the
second this fall. If the New York
Worlds" figures are correct, he has
notable record as a traveller. 1t af-
firms that since he was named COVER
nor of the Philippines in 1900 he has
travelled 275,000 miles, or more than
the distance from the earth to the
moon. Many, perhaps most, of these
journeys were rendered necessary by
the duties of his office, first as Cover
nor of the Philippines, afterwards as
secretary of war. But this cannot be
said of his two presidential campaign
journels. Are they advantageous or
Instantaneous to the country?
1t is an advantage for the country
to know personally it's president, to
see him and to hear his voice. Wher-
ever he speaks, hundreds if not thou
sands listen to him, and tens of thou
sands if not hundreds of thousands
read the report of his address in the
papers. He reaches by such journey
more or less directly millions whom
| he could not reach if he remained in
| Washington. No other man, however
| eloquent as a speaker or eminent as a
statesman, could reach by his spoken
and printed words audiences so great,
or reach them with SO weighty an in
| fluence. He has advantages for con-
Quoting a campaign of education which
no one else possesses.
| On the other hand, we cannot but
think that the administration suffers
by his absence from the Capital. We
doubt whether any college president
could be away from his faculty meet
ings, any editor from his staff confer
ences, any corporation president from
| the meetings of his executive COM
mittee, to the extent to which Mi. Fart
has ben absent from his cabinet meet
| ings during the two years and eight
months of his administration, without
serious disadvantage to the interests
| intrusted to his keeping. If it be
granted that some presidential cam
| paigning is advantageous to the coun-
try, it must, we think, be said that Mr.
Taft has carried the habit of cam
paigning quite up to, If not beyond
the limits within which the public in
terest should confine 1.-THE Outlook

greatest show on earth, which exhibits
in Ottumwa next Friday. $50 far as
know, there Is only che place in the
country where they raise hippopotami.
and that is at our Bridgeport winter
! quarters. When the first hippopota.
mus was born, the mother developed
the habit of taking the baby under the
water and holding it there for twenty
or thirty minutes at time. Now
there was bunch of wise keepers that
watched the performance number OF
times, and became greatly agitated
They feared the cid lady would drown
the little one, so rather than endure
the reproaches of the management, or
the agony of seeing it's death, they
took it from the mother. 1t was no.
where nut on deck for that little tel
low from thence on, the wise ones
having concluded they knew the
game of bringing up baby hippopotami
better than the mother. The result
OF their care apd attention was an
hippopotami funeral, with the attend.
ants and the old beast for the chief
mourners. The next time the train
ers were wiser, and when the mother
took her new baby under the water for
twenty or thirty minutes at a time
their pulses behaved In normal way,
and the little fellow was allowed to
soak. This one grew and was sent to
Cincinnati.
Ibid you ever observe an hippopota-
mus closely? They are the nearest
approach to the ichthaurian or pre-
historic times that we know of among |
the animal family. The physiogomy |
is absolutely brutalized. There is
nothing, to the face except the snout
and lower jaw, which is out of ALI
to the rest of the brute S (
makeup. In the region of the head
where mentality is commonly located. !
that is, above the ears and over the
eyes, there is depression--less than
nothing. The denseness mentally is
no less than the denseness physically,
the hide being impervious to bullets.
No such thing as trained hippopota
mus was ever known. 1t is the very I
quintessance Of density, and is to the
animal kingdom what the lignum vitae !
Is to the vegetable"

EMERSON HOUGH
VISITS low A
SUCCESSFUL NOVELIST GUEST OF
HIS BROTHER AT
WATERLOO.

Waterloo. July 15.-Emerson Hough.
the well known American Novelist and
magazine specialist, who is spending
a few days in Waterloo with his
brother, DR.. Norman H. Hough, is all
interesting man to meet. though he
speaks most modestly of his personal
success in the world Of letters.
While at his home in Chicago where
he has resided for the past twenty
years, Mr.. Hough follows a regular
routine in his work. He writes all
morning with frantic speed, being able
to turn out between 5000 and 5000
words. Then after lunch, he goes to
the city where he dictates his work to
a capable stenographer, making cor
rections willie the idea is fresh in his
mind Mr.. Hough does not confine
himself entirely to novel writing. but
turns out also an occasional short
story or special article on industrial
lines as those for the Saturday Even
ing Post recently published. He feels
that it is better to diversity his work
for in this way he will not become a
novelist but may retain the
interest Of the reading public from
several standpoints Thus, since April
/, Mr.. Hough has written a novel, a
juvenile book. five short stories and
eight or ten department stories.
Mr.. Hough is native of Iowa and
still retains his interest in his birth
place, Newton, to which place he goes
from here to visit his sister,
He is a graduate of Iowa State Uni
versity, class OF 1880, and occasionally
returns to visit his alma mater. His
wife, to whom he was married four.
teen years ago, was a Chicago girl
She frequently goes with him on his
travels and enjoys even the excite.
ment and hardships OF some Of the
trips. They have visited nearly every
point of interest in the United States
and two years ago toured Europe !
