INTEREST IN THE CORN SUOW
Half a Dozen States May Come in and
Make Exhibits.
SLOGAN 13 NOW AGREED TJPON

M achinea.
Aftar a competition extending over a
lrtol of asveral month and Involvln
contestant In half a rtoren nates, the
executive committee of the Corn show has
elected the motto that la to be the slogan
of the Missouri Valley Corn Growers as
dafton and to be Inwrlbed over the
doorway of the exposition building- and
mblasoned on all of the prlntol matter
to b used henceforth In connection with
th event. There were hundreds of lot
tery received and In many of them .there
were many mottoes. Hut a Nebraska man
auooeeded In winning the prize by submit
ting1 the beat phrase, and winning the
prise, a diamond ring-.
The rules governing- the oontest were
tmple. The contestants were required to
submit phrases that meant something,
that ware catchy, easily remembered and
wbJoX would promote interest In the
freat movement that Is on for the Im
provement of the qualKy and yield of the
orn fields. The committee realized that
the right phrase might become a national
Axiom, that would Inspire every tiller of
the soil with new seal In his work. Among
the con tent ants was R. F. Roggenbach of
"Wiener, Neb. Early In the contest he sent
In some phrases, but they didn't suit him
and he eont In others, lie thought over
the matter and realized the Importance
aid value of the orprtunlty that had been
offered, and he sent some more.
When the Judges selected by the Com
how managers, C. R. Hannan, Jr., Ed
ward Duquette and Robert Henderson,
came to the task of looking over the hun
dreds of mottoes offered, they found
those submitted by Roggenbaoh, and sev
eral of them remained when the elimination
p roc ens reduced the number to less than
score, and when the final choice was
made all the Judges had selected the last
sent by Roggenbaoh, "The Corncrlbs are
the Nation's Bulwarks."
The Oorn show people have no know
ledge of the personality of Mr. Roggen
bach beyond that conveyed In a number
of short snappy letters, written In an
any Bpenoertan hand, with every word
correctly spelled, faultless punotuatlon and
jerfect capitalization, and they den't
know whether he makes his living by
tilling the soil or holding- down a college
professorship. They did realize, however,
that the phrase he submitted grows upon
one and expresses the full purpose of the
organisers of the Missouri Valley Corn
Growers' aanocltalon. The prize Is a $75
diamond ring, contributed by ncrman
Xfferts, the Council Bluffs Jeweler. The
task of the Judges was a tremendous one
and Involved many days of labor. There
were so many that were excellent that the
Choice required Inductive analysis.
At the weekly meeting of the Joint com
mittee of the National Horticultural con
gress and the Corn show yesterday, It
was decided to set the opening day as
the date for the students' Judging con
test, when teams from state universities
Will again compete for the handsome
olid silver cup offered by The Omaha
Dally Bee 1 and The' Twentieth Century
Farmer. The rules of the oontest require
the cup to be won twice by the same
before It becomes the property of the
Winners. It was the prize In the ontests
at the exposition last fall and was won
by the Nebraska State university team.
The Kansas Stale university team came
econd, Iowa third and Missouri fourth.
The same teams will again compete this
year, and the keenness of the competition
will make the event of even greater inter
est than It awakened last year.
Overtures were made yesterday, whloh,
If enoouraged, may add an automobile
how to the big Joint fruit and corn
how. Application was mado by two big
automobile companies for space to exhibit
their machines. It happens that the
Council Bluffs exposition dates fall on the
ame fixed last year for the annual meet
ing of the Iowa and Nebraska Wholesale
and Retail Implement Dealers' associa
tion, which has about 1,500 members and
meets In Omaha. Implement, dealers have
always sold vehicles, and now most of
them are selling automobiles. The manu
facturers realise that It would be an ex
cellent opportunity tq make a hit by giv
ing a good automobile show In connec
tion with tlie exposition. Council Bluffs
Implement men are equally interested in
the dealers' convention and about all of
the visitors oome to Council Bluffs dur
ing the meeting, and of course all will
attend the corn and fruit show. The ex
position management can enslly provide
the required room, and will do so If the
demand la made,

Iowa
IOWANS READY t OR WINTER
State Enjoying Most Delightful Fall
Weather of Years.
CORN ALL EEADY FOR CRIBS
Mr. Bryan's peerhet in Hawkeye
Stat Hare Already Stirred Vp
Row Amona Democrats Dry
Forces In Trouble Also.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Ia., Oct. IS (Special.)
The state of Iowa has enjoyed the last
three weeks the most "delightful weather
ever known, and as a consequence the peo
ple are generally In a happy frame of
mind. The rural communities are reported
to be most prosperous. The season had
not been especially favorable and the
crops were a little backward, so that the
good fall weather was a help In finishing
out the season. But, according to all re
ports, the corn has ripened and Is now
ready for gathering and there has not
yet been anywhere in the slate sufficient
frost to kill the growing vines. The pas
tures had been In very bad condition be
cause of the long drouth In midsummer,
but late rains and cool weather has
brought out the grass and the pastures
were never finer than now.
The state weather and crop bureau re
ports that conditions have seldom been
better for the coming of winter than now.
The banking and financial circles also
report a very good season. There is an
abundanoe of money In the banks for the
handling of business and there Is no pros
pect of any heavy drain on the banks.
Work of nistorlcal Society.
The twenty-eighth biennial report of the
Board of Curators of the State Historical
Society of Iowa, which haa been placed
In the hands of Governor Carroll, con
tains a recommendation to the legislature
that fij.OOO be added to the annual support
of the society. m This increase la asked on
account of the grow th of the organization
and the extensive scientific historical re
search carried on under the direction of
the society. It is pointed out in tho re
port that without additional support the
society cannot hope to command the serv
ices of the most competent research
scholars. It also points out that the so
ciety has had exceeding difficulty In hold
ing Its research scholars because It was
not able to pay them adequate salaries.
In the last two years no less than four
valuable assistants have been taken else
where through this cause.
In reference to the employment of re
search assistants, Prof. Benjamin Sham
baugh of the State University of Iowa,
who Is superintendent of the State His
torical society and editor of its publica
tions, declares that the society must be
In a position to compete with colleges and
universities In paying salaries. The so
ciety, In order to carry on Its work, must
employ men, says he, who have spent
years in the study of history and who
have had the best of training in historical
research.
Little Doing In Politics.
It Is confessed at political headquarters
that there la not as much doing as usual.
The republican state committee has been
devoting Its entire time to organization,
and has furnished no literature of any kind
to the press, nor sent out any speakers.
Governor Carroll is the only speaker un
der the direction of the state committee,
though the congressional committees have
done much. The democrats have been far
more active and confident and have a good
working committee alive to the situation,
and they would make a stirring campaign
If they had the funds to handle it with.
This does not seem to be possible, how
ever. The socialists and prohlh'.tlonlsts
have also dons some work, but arj making
no stir.
Mr. Bryan's Omissions.
Mr. Bryan, who was brought to the
state for the purpose of stirring up the
democrats and giving them the Inspiration
of hope, Is being criticised on the side
for what he failed to do. For Instance, he
spoke here and commended the democ.ra.tlo
candidate for governor In high praise, Dut
he failed to mention Parley Sheldon, the
candidate for lieutenant governor, who
sat beside him on the platform. So, also,
while In the Eighth district he made spe
cial mention of the democratic candidate
for Judge, but here he failed to mention
any of the candidates for Judge; and In
fact failed to mention any of the state
candidates, except one. The failure to
refer to some of the candidates, who are
particularly the candidates of the liquor
Interests, and failure to refer to the state
platform, which Is for local option, Is
causing some comment.
Dry Forces Have Trouble.
Despite all efforts the prohibition forces
of the state have been unable to get en
tirely together for the campaign. Tho
Anti-Saloon league and the constitutional
amendment association have Joined In
favor of boosting the movement for a con
stitutional convention. At first they were
working at cross purposes, but now they
have agreed to work In harmony. But the
prohibition party still refuses to Join them
and Chairman Jones Is out In a statement
in which he denounces the others for the
position they have tsken and asserts that
the only way to secure prohibition In Iowa
is by voting the ticket of th party.
Bank Demands New Trial.
Declaring that the verdict was contrary
to law, and that Judge Brennan erred In
taklns the case from the Jury, the Citizens'
National bank has filed a motion for a
new trial in its suit against the Western
Union Telegraph company. A smooth
stranger secured S500 from the bank on a
fake telegram, and suit was brought to re
cover this sum.
Joins In Hate Case.
In a lett-r to E. Q. Wylle. freight rate
commissioner to the Greater Des Moines
committee John L. Stevens, a dlrcetor of
the Boone Commercial club, announces
thst the club has decided to Intervene for
Boone in the coming rate suit. The
club will assist in shoving the state's com
p'alnta against the railroads.

Increase of 4f.2.V5, or 130 per cent over the
population of
The first flgtlres tumeA tn for Tacoma
were 11R.24S. In other words the actual
population was radded to the extent of
which would have meant a further
addition of 40 rer cent.
These additions were made In thirty-four
out of seventy-three enumeration districts
In Taooma. In some of these districts the
number reported proved to be several times
greater than the actual population. In ten
districts the first enumeration showed 29,753
names, whereas the correct number was
found to be 11,646.
Taft Approves Action.
The statement issued by Director Du
rand, consists in the main of a letter
from himself addressed to Secretary Nagel
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, dated October 8, :n which the whole
case Is presented and of a brief letter
from President Taft to Mr. Nagel of date
of October 11.
The letter of President Taft follows:
"Beverly, Mass. Oct. 11, 1!H0: I have
read Director Durnnd's letter and agree
with him that It ought to be published.
The cases of all those who appear to
have violated the law should be investi
gated by tho grand Jury, and if sufficient
evidence is found to Justlty It, they should
be Indicted and prosecuted. Nothing will
so conduce to securing a proper census as
the prosecution of those who attempt a
fraud upon the law. I am led to believe
that the present census has been much
freer from attempted frauds than any
previous census, but the Instances cited
by Mr. Durand are sufficient to require
the utmost vigilance to bring those who
have violated the law to Justice and
proper punishment. Sincerely yours,
"WILLIAM H. TAFT."
Fraudulent Slips I'aed.
The letter of Director Durand addressed
to Secretary Nagel also sets forth that
attempted "padding" of the census was
brought about mainly through the use of
slips printed by private Individuals and
containing the census questions. These
were distributed very generally on street
corners and elsewhere and were filled out
by thousands of people who either had al
ready been enumerated or who were not
permanent residents of the city and not
entitled to enumeration. It is possible that
in some cases the names were wholly flo
tlctlous. These slips were turned over by
the private individuals who collected them
through a special agent of the census
bureau named Corwln. to thirty-four of
the enumerators, and they, under the in
structions of Corwln, added the names to
the enumeration by assigning them as
"boarders" or "lodgers" to various houses
in their districts.
"In other words, the director states, the
enumerators deliberately made the false
statement that these persons were resi
dents at this or that particular street
number, although the enumerators knew
nothing whatever with regard to the
names so fraudulently added. The di
rector says the census bureau's work in
rechecklng or recounting the population
of these "padded" districts in Tacoma was
done with the greatest care. In order that
the full population might be ascertained.
Attempts In Other Cities.
The director declared also that more or
less extensive attempts at "padding" the
census had been discovered In other cities
mentioned, and he adds that Investigations
are In progress with reference to a number
of other cities.
Full information rgarding these cases
will be made public later..
In many Instances, he states, this "pad
ding" consisted of the repetition ot visits
by the enumerator to hotels, boarding and
lodging houses. In this manner people
who came to the city after the census day,
perhaps merely for a stay of a few days
were added to the enumeration as resi
dents. Director Durand said today that
the suspicion of the chief statistician, Will
iam Hunt, and Chief of Division William
H. Davis, of the population division of the
census bureau with regard to the census
of Tacoma were aroused when en a careful
examination of the schedules in the office
at Washington, it waa found that there
were an absurdly large number of families
reporting great numbers of roomers and
lodgers. William A. McKenzle, a bureau
expert who had charge of the enumeration
of the Fourth district of Alaska, was sen!
by Director Durand to Tacoma and made
a thorough investigation.
In the ten districts mentioned, a complete
re-enumeratlon was made, while In the
twenty-four other suspicious districts the
head of each house was visited and Invest!
gated. Many names were assigned to va
cant lots and they were eliminated.
Blame Special Agents.
The director says it Is not yet known
whether any Individuals or group of Indi
viduals were responsible for the false
enumeration in Tacoma. The claim Is
made that the names were given to the
enumerators with the avowed purpose of
ascertaining whethe' they had been listed.
Instead of using th nam-. for this pur
pose the enumerators added them without
making any Investigation. In excuse for
this course they say they wtre acting un
der directions of Stacey M. Corwln. one
of the special agents of the census bureau
at Tacoma. He distributed large bunches
of the slips among the enumerators, stat
ing, Mr. Durand alleges, that the tiaines
were those of bona fide residents who
should be registered. Mr. Durand declares
that Corwln went so far as to say that
the names must be counted, even though
their owners were assigned to vacant lots.
Commenting upon this phase of the pro
ceeding, Mr. Durand says: "Even though
It is possible that every enumerator who
Improperly added names to his schedules
did so under ths Instructions of Special
Agent Corwln, never! heieis these enu
merators were not only technically guilty
of a mlsdemesnor under section ti of the
census act, but they are also morally
guilty and personally responsible for what
they did."

BEVEULT, Mass., Oct. 16. President
Taft la going to do all he can to help
Colonel Theodore Koosevelt win victory for
the republican state ticket In New York.
This faol was evidenced here tonight when
It became known that the president would
ask two or three members of his cabinet
to go to New York and assist In the cam
paign there.
it also became known here today
that Otto T. Bannard and the other re
publican lealers who declared In New York
last night that President Taft would not
consider a vote for Henry L. Stlmson, the
republican nominee for governor, as a vote
In any way affecting his own candidacy
In 1312, did so with the direct authority of
the president
Mr. Taft, It Is said, takes absolutely no
stock In the stories that have been widely
circulated that Colonel Roosevelt will op
pose him as a candidate In 1912. Others
close to the administration do not share
the president's views.
It Is asserted that the Taft Influence,
which Includes the federal office holders,
practically saved the day for Colonel Roose
velt at Saratoga. Now the president Is
once more coming to the rescue by the
authorized announcements that he does
not consider votes for Stlmson as meaning
votes for Colonel Roosevelt In 1913.
