) V V; j DEEP WATERWAY IS DEMANDED Bf ALL Great River Convention Is Held in New Orleans. PRESIDENT FAVORS PROJECT Promises the Present Administration Will Support Issuance of Federal Bonds If Fourteen-Foot Pro gram Proves Feasible. New Orlcnns, Nov. 1. Hinging domanda for "14 feet through the val ley" and elaborate argument in sup port of the program fo. the creation of a deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf have marked the great con vention of the Deep Waterway asso ciation that opened here Saturday. President Taft, Vice-President Sher man, Speaker Cannon, governors of th Mississippi valley states, innumer able senators and representatives and a mighty throng of private citizens who believe in the big river project are here and all urge that it be un dertaken and carried to n speedy con clusion. President Taft Promises Support. President Taft, who arrived in New Orleans escorted by a great flotilla, after an illuminating trip down the Mississippi river from St. Louis, land ed from tho lighthouse tender Olean der about eight o'clock Saturday morning, and was driven to his ho tel through streets that were cano pied with magnolia branches, palmct toes and southern moss, and every where entwined in tho decorations were tho mottoes "Fourteen Feet Through the Valley" and "River Rate Regulation Is Hate Regulation." At the Athenaeum in the afternoon the president aroused a storm of cheers by promising that if tho 14-fect project proved feasible and advisable, the present administration would favor the Issuance of government bonds to defray tho cost. Not for a "Pork Barrel." At the same time Mr. Taft made It plain that he would not stand for nny plan to mako a "pork barrel" of the project. Ho said he opposed any such general bond issue of $500,000, 000 or $1,000,000,000 for waterways Improvement, the money to be cut up and parceled out to different sec tions, lie declared that the improve ment of waterways had been carried forward In a haphazard fashion In President Taft. the past, and that a new method should bo adopted. "I believe In the deop waterway," said tho president. "1 am for It, and I shall uso all the power that I pos sess in doing what may bo accom plished to give you citizens of this great vnlley what you so earnestly de sire. It is all a part of a still great er movement inaugurated by Theo dore Roosevelt, and properly called by him tho conservation of our na tional resources. "Tho projects for Irrigation and for tho Improvement of waterways In the futuro aro not to be for tho purpose of distributing 'pork' to every part of tho country. Every mcasuro is to bo adopted on tho ground that It will bo useful to tho whole country. They nro not to bo adopted for sending certain congressmen hack to Wash ington or for making certain parts of tho country profitable during the ex penditure of tho money. "Wo should tako up every compre hensive project on Its mcrlta and de termine whether tho country whero the project is to bo carried out has so far deevlopcd as to JiiBtify tho enor mous expenditure of money and If It will be useful when dono. When wo decide In favor of a project, I believe in issuing bonds to carry It to com pletion as rapidly as possible. It has been proposed that wo Issue bonds for The Russian Dynasty. Tho present dynasty of Russia la tho houso of Romanoff, founded by Czar Michael Fedorovlto Romanoff, who ascended tho throne In 1C1II The Romanoffs nro descended from Andrew Kobyla, who camo from Prua 6la to Moscow In 1311, Ingratitude, A Missouri farmer was nearly Jdclccd to death by a mule that ho had rescued from a burning barn.

I am opposed to any such proposition, because it not only sntells of tho 'pork barrel,' but would bo a 'pork barrel.' " Sherman, Too, Is for It. Vice-President James S, Sherman has brought to tho people of tho mid dle west the message of the ast, promising enthusiastic support of the waterway ptogram. "Wo pcoplo of the east defend on your pcoplo of tho west," said he. "When we help you, we help ourselves, so there is every reason why wo should do all In our power for you, as soon as wo realize what you want and why you wnnt It." Speaker Cannon nnd Secretary ol War HlcklnEon nre no less outspoken in their nisurauces of support, and ninny senators and representatives, among them Senator l.orlmer of Illi nois, the father of the deeo waterway Secretary of War Dickinson. movement, this afternoon made ad dresses full of hopeful enthusiasm. Kavanaugh Opens Convention. William K. Kavanaugh of Missouri, president of the association, called the convention to order Saturday morning nnd set forth brieliy the aims and plnns of the organization. He said the deep wnterway work Is now In this condition: 1. The sanitary district of Chicago has built tho deep waterway, practi cally to Jollet, nearly 40 miles, and $(i(,000,000 hnve been spent thus lar on the work. ". The entire toute of tho lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway from Jollet to New Orleans, through tho Des Plalues river, the Illinois river and the Mis sissippi river, has been surveyed un der direction of congresB by United States engineers, who have olllclnlly reported to congress Unit the building of the deep waterway Is feasible. '.',. The people of the state of Illi nois have adopted a constitutional amendment providing for a bond is sue of $20,000,000, the money to be spent in constructing tho deep water way southward from Joliet. 4. A bill Introduced by United States Representative Richard Hartholdt of Missouri is now pending In congress, providing for the Issuance by tho United States government of bonds to the nmount of $500,000,000, the money to he spent in constructing this deep wnterway from the lakes to tho gulf and other ineiltorious projected river improvements. 5. It Is Intended to ask tho Sixty first congress to pass a bill providing definitely that the United States gov eminent undertake tho construction of the deep waterway from tho point where the Illinois work will end, to tho Gulf of Mexico. In the afternoon, following the ad dross of President Taft, Clifford Pin chot, head of tho government foivstry department, made an address on the conservation of the nntlon's natural resources. In tho evening tho delegates to the convention were entertained at a stag smoker by the Progressive union of New Orleans. This evening all the delegates and tho ladles accompany ing them wcro the guests of the Pro gressive union at the Now Orleans Opera house, where "La Juive" was given by the French Opera Com pany. His Politics at Home. A political canvasser called at a home the other day and inquired nB to the political atllliations of the man of the house. "Oh, well," said the housewife, "he's everything. lle'n nice when he's away, and he's not so nice nt other times.' "Hut about politics," said the can vasser. "Is ho a Democrat or a Re publican?" "Well, It depends on who he is with," said the lndy. "If it's policy to be a Democrat when he's with Dem ocrats, he's a Democrat, and when he's with Republicans he's a Repub lican." "I understand," persisted tho can vnsser, "hut between ourselves, what la he at homo?" "Oh, at home he's a perfect terror." Birth of Biblical Art. Tho first Uibllcal Illustrative art consisted in tho symbolic frescoes of tho Catacombs. Appreciation.

Suggestion and Practical Thought. What the storm and wreck revealed as to the character of Paul, the mis sionary Hero: For nenrly seven months we hnvo been studying the character of Paul under a great nrloty of circum stances. We have found htm con scientious, consecrated to (?od, de voted to the good and the salvation of his fellow men, energetic, wise, cour ageous, Joyful, faithful, persevering, independent, unselfish, courteous, of strong feelings, but self-controlled, saintly and true. We have seen him chiefly nt his missionary work. In this storm and wreck we seo him from another point of view, connected with bodily Interests, physical needs, things pertaining to ordinary human life, as a man among men, not, as one hns said, "a long-distance pastor," but in close touch with humanity. I. The Mnnly Authority of a Tested Character. Vb. 27-32. "The four teenth night" (v. 2") from the time they left Fair Havens In Crete, when the storm began. "Driven up and down," tossed by the waves nnd "home along" "in Adrla," not the Adriatic sea, but the name then given to the central basin of tho Mediter ranean. "Tho shlpmen deemed that they drew near to somo country." 29. "They cast four anchors out of tho stern." Anchoring from the stern Is unusual, but much the best under the circumstances, for It would leave them free to sail to either shore when dnyllght come. During the dreary waiting, while they "wished for the day," the sailors tried to save them selves nt the expense of all tho rest by means of the boat, the one visible way of reaching tho shore. Hut Paul, noticing the plan, nppealed to the centurion and the soldiers to put a stop to it. The sailors had the boat, but the soldiers had the weapons nnd the power. Paul therefore appealed to the soldiers, for ho saw clearly that (v. 31) "except these abldo In the ship, ye cannot be saved," as had been promised. Those who went In the boat would doubtless be drowned, and even If they readied the shore, there were none left to manage the ship, especially If the officers of the ship were among those who planned bo selfishly for their own safety. The soldiers put an end to the plan by cutting the ropes nnd setting the boat adrift. "Nothing wns too good for Paul after that, and when nt Inst the ship broke, and tho roll call was mnde on land, every man, soldier, and sailor sang out cheerily. 'Here.' And when at last Paul got to Rome. Capt. Julius and his soldiers did not soon tire of telling to wife and child and sweet heart how tho little preacher had saved them from the angry deep." II. Care for the Physical Comfort and Health of His Companions. Vs. 33-38. "While the dny was coming." Ah soon as It wub light enough to find food. "Continued fasting," took no regular meals. 34. "I pray you take some meat," food; "for your health," safety, they would need to put their bodies In the best condition to give them the strength needed to reach the shore. 35. "He began to eat." To lead them on by his example, he himself did what lie advised them to do. 30. "Then were they all of good cheer." "The hearty cheerfulness (Is it too colloqulnl a phrase to say the 'pluck?') of the apostlo had communi cated Itself, as by a kind of electric sympathy, to his companions." III. Paul Doing tho Commonest Du ties to Help his Companions. Acts 28:1-0. 1. "They knew," recognized, "that tho island was called Melita," now shortened Into "Maltn." IV. Paul Healing the Sick. Vs. 7-10. Publlus, tho governor of tho Island, living not far away, entertnlncd tho company for throe days till they had time to mako other arrangements. Tho father of the governor lny crit ically Blck of dysentery. Pnul prayed for him and laid his hands on him, and healed him. This gave Paul an opportunity to preach the gospel. For Paul had no credentials that would be of uso, and as a prisoner suspicion would bo cast upon him, So that God himself gave him tho best credentials by bestowing on him mlrnculous pow er. Paul healed mnny others; nnd nB Christ's works of healing showed his kindness and lovo for men, and re vealed the loving naturo of our heavenly Father, so Paul's aid for the Blck expressed the kindliness or tho gospel. Casting Away Cares., Treat cares as you treat sins. Hand them over to Jesus one by ono us they occur. Commit them to him. Roll them upon him. Make thorn his. Hy an act of faith look to him, saying: "This, Lord, and this and this, I can not bear. Thou haBt taken my sins. Take my cares. I lay them upon theo and trust theo to do for mo all, and more than all, I need. I will trust and be not afraid." Rev. F. H. Meyer. To low they build who build be neath tho stars. Young. The Best Food for Workers. The best food for those who work with bund or brain Is never high priced The best example of this Is found In Quaker Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourishment and vigor, without taxing the diges tion, and yet It Is the least expensive food one can eat. This great food vnlue and low cost make It mi Ideal food for families who want to get the gieatent good from what they eat. Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed plentllully on Quaker Oats will work better and with less fatigue than If fed on almost any other kind of food.
