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 Orleans, Nov. 1. — Ringing
demands for "14 feet through the val-
ley" and elaborate argument in sup-
port of the program for the rreation
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 a speedy con-
olusioi.
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 the 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, palmet-
toes and southern moss, and every-
where entwined in the decorations
were the mottoes "Fourteen Feet
Through the Valley" and "River Rate
Regulation Is Rate Regulation." At
the Athenaeum In the afternoon the
president aroused a storm of cheers
by promising that If the 14-feet project
proved feasible "and advisable, the
present administration would favor
the Issuance of government bonds to
defray the cost
Not for a "Pork Barrel."
At the same time Mr. Taft made it
plain that he would not stand for any
plan to make a "pork barrel" of the
project. He 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. He declared that the improve-
ment of waterways had been carried
forward in a haphazard fashion in
J500,000.000 or J 1,000,000,000, and cut
it up and parcel the money out in this
and that section of the country. I
am opposed to any such proposition,
because it not only smells of the
'pork barrel,' but would be a 'pork
barrel." "
Sherman, Too, Is for It.
Vice-President James S. Sherman
has brought to the people of the mid-
dle west the message of the east,
promising enthusiastic support of the
waterway program. "We people of
the east depend on your people of the
west," said he. "When we help you,
we help ourselves, so there is every
reason why we should do all In our
power for you, as soon as we realize
what you want and why you want it."
Speaker Cannon and Secretary of
War Dickinson are no less outspoken
in their assurances of suppprt, and
many senators and representatives,
among them Senator Lorimer of Illi-
nois, the father of the deeo waterway

derstand, quite clcarly, that it involves tho
question of right living with all tho term

100,000 have joined the ranks of the

the last year, according to a state-
ment of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis. The fraternal orders and unions

plished to give you citizens of this
great valley what you so earnestly de-

"The projects for Irrigation and for
the improvement of waterways in the

of distributing 'pork' to every part of

movement, this afternoon made ad-
dresses full of hopeful enthusiasm.
Kavanaugh Opens Convention.
William K. Kavanaugh of Missouri,
president of the association, called thu
convention to order Saturday morning
and set forth briefly the aims and
plans of the organization. He said the
deep waterway work is now In thJs
condition:
1. The sanitary district of Chicago
has built the deep waterway, practi-
cally to Joliet, nearly 40 miles, and
$60,000,000 have been spent thus far
on the work.
2. The entire route of the lakes-to-
the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to
New Orleans, through the Des Plaines
river, the Illinois river and the Mis-
sissippi river, has been surveyed un-
der direction of congress by United
States engineers, who have officially
reported to congress that the building
of the deep waterway is feasible.
3. The people of the state of Illi-
nois have adopted a constitutional
amendment providing for a bond is-
sue of $20,000,000, the m&ney to be
spent in constructing the deep water-
way southward from Joliet.
4. A bill introduced by United States
Representative Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri is now pending in congress,
providing for the issuance by the
United States government of bonds to
the amount of $500,000,000, the money
to be spent in constructing this deep
waterway from the lakes to the gulf
and other meritorious projected river
improvements.
5. It is intended to ask the Sixty-
first congress to pass a bill providing
definitely that the United States gov-
ernment uudertake the construction
of the deep waterway from the point
where the Illinois work will end, to
the Gulf of Mexico.
In the afternoon, following the ad-
dress of President Taft, Clifford Pin-
chot. head of the government forestry
department, made an address on the
conservation of the nation's natural
resources.
In the evening the delegates to the
convention were entertained at a stag
smoker by the Progressive union of
New Orleans. This evening all the
delegates and the ladles accompany-
ing them were the guests of the Pro-
gressive union at the New Orleans
Opera house, where "La Julve" was
given by the French Opera Com-
pany.

The Best Food for Workers.
The best food for those who work
with hand 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 value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on aliYiost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg-
ular size packages, large size family
packages and hermetically sealed tins.

A political canvasser called at a
home the other day and Inquired as
to the political affiliations of the man
of the house.
"Oh. well," said the housewife,
"he's everything. He's nice when he's
away, and he's not so nice at other
times.'
"But about politics," said the can-
vasser. "Is he a Democrat or a Re-
publican?"
"Well, it depends on who he is
with," Hiild the lady. "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 the can-
vasser, "but between ourselves, what

"Oh, at homo he's a perfect terror."
