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

up and parceled out to different sec

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

by him tho conservation of our na

"Tho projects for Irrigation and for

of distributing 'pork' to every part of

the project is to bo carried out has so

It up and parcel the money out In this

am opposed to any such proposition,

'pork barrel,' but would bo a 'pork

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

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

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.
All of these facts were proved and
