Tht most remarkable public demon
stration In the history of the historic
Southern city of Memphis took place
aTriday when the Lakes-to-tbe-Gulf wa
terways flotilla, bearing President
Roosevelt, rounded Hopefleld tend In
Mississippi just above the city and
i dock. The bank on that slue 01
the stream at which the boat wore to
moor was literally aflame with the na
tional colors. Tucked behind this bril
llant bulwark were 40,000 men, women
and children foregathered from all the
country within a radius of forty miles.
As the boats came Into sight a ware
of cheers swept In a rising crescendo
orer the crowd and an instant Inter
the sirens of a thousand steamboats
trctehlnsr over two miles aloug the
bore burst Into Jubilation. When the
tooata came near enough so that oh
Jecta could be distinguished President
Roosevelt was seen standing on the
ton deck of the vessel in the lead.
Then the din broke loose afresh
score of bombs were set off and the
crowd shouted itoclf hoare.
The President, still stundlng on the
Tipper deck of the government boat, ac
knowledged the greetings while, the
Teasel was still In mid-stream, and th
cboering continued until he had been
escorted from the steamer into his car.
Tlage and the parade through the
afreets began. Between packed mass
es of yelling, cheering humanity, the
parade wended its way until Court
Square had been reached, where the
Presidential carriage was stopped and
the Chief Executive listened to water
ways anthem, "fourteen Feet Through
the Valley," as sung by 3,000 school
children attired In uniform costume
and each waving n small American
flag. 'The effect of the picture was
most striking and the President was
visibly Impressed.
TThe address of the Presldont at the
convention, in which he strongly advo
cated the deep waterways plan, was

mission and delegates to the number of
4,000, besides ninny spectators in the
general gallery of the hall, beard the
President speak and joined in the ap
plause.
In bis speech the President proudly
announced It wus a Roosevelt who ran
the first steamlioat on the big river,
lie reiterated that the undcslrablo citi
zen la still undesirable. He told the
people be had no excuse to offer for
his former declaration. President
Roosevelt was strong for deep water
and also took an excursion Into a ucw
field. He wants tho people to be better
farmers and not let the hillsides wash
Into the streams. He advocated Intelli
gent farming and saving of the forcHls
and the utilization of water powor in
manufacturing.

Among the impressive sentences to
the President's St. Louis address were
the following:

Points Mad at Oalre.
In his speech at Cairo the President
avid:
The policy of "peace wK Insult" is
the very worst policy open whtoh it la
possible to embark, whether for a nation
or aa Individual.
I think that the excel lest people who
avave complained of our policy as hurt

Iteeaevelt' Malays.
The latent of many mi crest Ions tt
the benefit of Theodore Roosevelt, M
an ex-Prewldent, comes from London,
where it la said to have been discussed
Jn the fashionable clubs, ft attribute
to Mr. Roosevelt a desire to round out
an extended tour of the world by a
considerable residence In the Rritlsh
capital as ambassador to tht court of
St James.
Very likely the President has men
tioned tills as something that would be
to his liking, although It Is doubted In
Washington whether he has ever seri
ously considered it. lie does contem
plate quite a trip abroad, after March
4, 1909. At times he has dwelt with no
little anticipation upon the tilings he
would And pleasure In doing after otV
cial cares have Iwen lifted from his
shoulders. ITe and Mrs. Roosevelt have
planned more than one trip they want
to take when he has become a private
clt.lren again.
Possibly foremost In these plans la
the visit to the capitals of the old
world. They were married In London,
and both have traveled extensively in
Europe, Tliey are very desirous of go
ing again, of revisiting eld seenee and
Id friends and of making new friends.
They will hardly make each a tri
umphal tour as ex-Preitldent Graat
made, bnt Mr. Roosevelt would like to
meet a few of the European rulers wttn
whom he linn bem In communication
more or less since he entered the Whtta
House. He would enjoy that probably
quite as much as some of the big hunt
Ins trips for large game that lie has In
mind.
However, the President up to a few
months ago was known to cherish
strong hope of an election to the United
States Senate from New York. He
likes residence in Washington a por
tion of the year. As a Senator he
would continue to have official promi
nence, and could divide his time be
tween Washington and New Tork or
any city that might interest him. Ha
will undoubtedly do a great amount of
literary work In the few years follow
ing his retirement from the Presidency,
and Washington is a very congenial
dty for such efforts.
8TRANQLER ADMITS CRIME.

Grant la Chicago.
Richard Walton, the negro murderer of
Mrs. Lillian White Grant of Chicago,
confessed to Us crime at the Hydo Park
recital, which poured easily from his lips.
With the confession of the murder cams
a dramatic re-enactment of the crime in
the office of Captain McWeeney of the
Hyde Park station, la which Police In-
B1CHAMD WaXTOA,
Ingtoo, is now out with a new scheme,
the main feature of which is the absorp
tion and operation by the State of rail
roads and other utilities necessary to
the peoplo's welfsre. Its Idea is to havt
theee holdings taken over by the States,
payment being mad by the issue of long
term bonds, these latter being deposited
with the federal government In return fol
an tssue of currency to the face value ol
the securities less 1 per cent for tht
erpense of flotation. He thinks that this
loan could be repaid and the entire ex
pense of the State met by the revenues
accruing from the operation ef the publlt
utilities, thus making a direct tax levy
on' private property unnecessary. lit
would In a similar manner extend bit
idea to counties and municipalities. Fit
declares the idea of controlling the bl
corporations while their owimmhip reati
with private interests absurd, and sayl
that public ownership will b tse verita

giant Overall was In excellent form.
Overall was taken out of the game hi
tho ninth Inning, when the Culm needed
a stronger batsman, nnd Keulbucb fol
lowed him in tbe box, proving a com
plete puzzle for the Tigers.
According to a corresjioiident, tlie
hoarse thousands, wbo bad filled every
available Inch of space in the grounds,
came away gibbering about how the
Cubs would have won If things had
happened thus and so. There was logic
in their ravings, for hi the ninth, the
tenth, the eleventh and the twelfth
innings Chicago had the victory tightly
grasped, but each time the tickle god
dess interfered in favor of Detroit.

A report from Geneva, Switzerland,
ays that Prof. Joly, after completing a
geological examination of the rock bor
ings from tbe Simplon tunnel, finds rich
traces of radium, indicating larger de
posits of this rare and extremely valuable
eleaient than any hitherto discovered in
Europe. It is bis theory that the pres

experienced in digglug the tunnel, and he
believes that tbe world's supply of radium
ia far greater than was supposed.

Insanity Not Increasing;.
Dr. Carlos F. Macdonald, the New
York alienist, discussing the recent Bta-
GREAT BATTLE FOR WORLD'S BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
tistics issued by the Lunacy Commission
of England and Wales, said there was a
steady numerical increase in insanity both
in the United Kingdom and in the United
States, but he did not believe that this
implied an increase in the ratio of in
sanity to population. The 'increase of the
insane in England and Wales bad been
from 30,702 in 1850 to 123,088 in 1917,
or 237 per cent, whereas the estimated .In
crease in population in the same period
was only 77 per cent. In spite of these
figures Dr. MaCdonald calls attention to
several new factors In the problem, among
which are the widening conception of in
sanity so that many cases now appear in
statistics which formerly were not count
ed, and the increased confidence In insti
tutions for the insane, whereas formerly
relatives sought to conceal the condition
of insane persons. He also asserts that
there has been an Increase in the longev
ity of the insane under modern methods,
ind says that the statistics are padded
by a great many readmissions which ap
pear as new cases. Speaking of the
causes of insanity, ho attaches less im
portance to exciting causes and greater
imjiortance to predisposing causes. Only
people with unstable mental organiza
tions are likely to succumb to the ordi
nary exciting causes grouped under the
general heads, wine, women, worry and
work. His observation among English
men has led to the conclusion that the
modern Briton is anaemic rather than
full-blooded.

A COSMOPOLITAN HARVEST.
Foar Races Are PlcUIn Cotton la
the Fields ef Oklahoma. '
An Oklahoma cotton field recently pre
sented a cosmopolitan appearance, as
much so, perhaps, as It would bo possi
ble to find in the entire West. Engaged
in picking the crop acre four race ef
men white, black, red and yellow and
five nationalities the American, Indian,
Mexican, African and Japanesie. It Is
true, slso, that the crop has been gath
ered more promptly than usual, because
of new labor, which wa greatly needed
to harvest the fleecy staple.
The Jups were the latest arrivals, snd
Oklahoma is the first cotton-growing
Stnte to experiment with these people.
Many of them came south from the beet
fields of Colorado and Nebraska, and if
they prove valuable as pickers many more
will be engaged by the cotton growers,
especially in the more northern and east
ern counties of the State.
It was found, in engaging Jap labor
ers for work iu the beet fields and for
genernl Improvement work in cities, that
many of them were not strong enough to
stand heavy labor, and it occurred to M
Churna, one of their native citizens, that
it might be jwvssible to find work tor all
such in the southern cotton fields. Ac
cordingly, he visited Guthrie several
months ago and made arrangements with
local cotton growers to give the Japs a
trial. Tliey will be used next season also
for tending nnd chopping the crop as well
as picking it. It has often been found
Ss difficult to get cotton choppers as cot
ton pickers.
Test ot I'linrch Cordiality.
Miss Laura A. Smith tell9 in the Sep
tember Lad. cm' Home Journal of her ex
perience in making a series of visits to
different churches in the larger cities,
with the object of testing "the welcome
given a stranger in the average church,
to see what was meant by the invitation,
'Strangers cordially welcome,' and to see
how many of the clergymen or members
of the congregation would speak a word
of greeting or encouragement to the stran
ger within their gates." Miss Smith say
that she dressed in very plain clothes, ami

by both dress and manner tried to typify
the average young woman who, a stran

In only two churches ot New York ant
Brooklyn did the pastors voluntarily seeic
her out and speak to her. In one other
the pastor was brought to her; while in
five churches thirteen members had spok
en to her, and in thirty-two she bad been
Ignored absolutely, in all thirty-sevc-n
churches having been visited. In Boston
she attended twenty-fort cnurches, and
of these one pastor spo? to her, while
in four four members (twojeing ushers)
passed a friendly word, while in the other
nineteen "not a word from any one,'
From the inhospitable East she turned
her steps westward, where the results of
her visitations remain to be recorded.''
Several New York and Boston minis
ters interviewed upon the question raised
by Miss Smith's test hold that it is no
generally regarded as beyond the true
courtesy of the church to force attentions
upon visitors, such as handshaking and
questioning. One says that because per
sonal inquiries are not madu or attention
paid is in no sense a contradiction of the
invitation tj strangers. He holds that it
is iijiosaiblc in the great cities to make
the church the social club that Misa
Smith seems to be looking for. Another
saye that normal persons go to church
not for sociability, but for spiritual edifi
cation, communion and exaltation, hence
they appreciate the gentle courtesy ol be
ing let alone in their guest.
To Cnrtnll Copper Frodartlon.
The officers of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company have recommended that the
mine of that company be shut down un
til the copper niurket conditions improve.
This course is brought about by the fact
thnt the Amalgamated Company hag on
hand a large stock of metal for which
there la little demand in the market. It
is taken for granted in trade circles that
the action of the Amalgamated will be
followed by several of the other heavy
producing mines. It is notable that this
unfavorable condition of the copper mar
ket should have developed in spite of tbe
efforts of the Standard Oil interests to
maintain the price of the metal and th
standing of the copper stocks.
