The Great River Highways.

President Roosevelt is the first Prcsi-
dent to take a voyage down the Mis-
sissirpi river during his term of office.
and those who are hoping for the I'M
provcment of that great waterway
count on important things to follow
as a result of his present journey
Once the Father Of Waters carried a
large amount of commerce upon its
bosom. but all this has been changed
in recent wears and all the former glory
and profit of the old steamboat days
have departed. The people of the
Mississippi valley want lf-f"ot
waterway from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf ard corresponding improvements
in the channels of the Ohio and Mis-
souri, rivers. and it is as the guest of
those tavoring this gigantic project
that the President has made his trip
down the Mississippi this week from
Keosuk, Iowa. to Memphis, Tennessee.
The fl lends of the deep waterway
movement look ahead with confidence
to the time when steamboats, shall
again pillow the Mississippi. more nu-
ncrous and larger than in the good cid
days when Mark Twain was a pilot
there.
The opposition to this proposed in
ternal improvement which has hitherto
been very strong in certain quarters is
much less nov that the great railroad

The CLOSING Baseball Season.

The grip Of baseball upon the people
of this country has never been better
demonstrated than in this year of
grace. If anything was needed to
prove that baseball was the great ma
tional sport of America it is found in
the intense interest with which mil
lions of our peopl" have followed the
exciting fight for the championship in
the American league. This league has
been from the beginning more popular
with the masses than its great rival.
and the exciting fight for its pennant
this year between the four leading
teams has added immensely to its gate
receipts and to the profits If the mag
mates who control it.
But for the National League as we'll
as for the American it has been an cx-
ceptionally successful season. with
record breaking attendance at the
games and with large profits for those
controlling the affairs of the league.

played in these leagues. although the
pennaEts are securely won by the De
troit and Chicago teams respectively
The ChiCagO"s of the National League
have duplicated their easy victory Of
last year making. If possible, more of
a runaway race of it. In the Ameri
can league the contest has been an in
tensely exciting one between the four
leaders. and first one has been on top
and then another, but the fighting
spirit of the Detroit tigers has given
them the honor over their rivals. The
champion teams will arouse great in
tercst. perhaps even more than last
year when the two Chicago teams won
the championship in their respective
leaguesS2nd fought it out for the
worlds championship in that city.
| Many here in the East will regret that

spccial fad with public men. Then
the railroads came into existence and
instead Of simply experimenting canals
and river waterways. as was expected
at the time. they very largely replaced
them. No doubt if the same enter
prise and organizing genius had been
devoted to developing waterway con-
struction that was displayed in rail-
road construction. the wealth of the
country would now be much greater
than it is and the transportation prob
lem would he much less of Il problem
No doubt large part of the program
proposed by this weeks interior water
way convention at Memphis will i'll
time be carried out and no doubt the
Presidents trip will do much to stimu
matter, but it will not all be done at
once 1t involves the expenditure of
many million dollars. Since the days
when the Mississippi was first ex-
plored dreams of making it a great
waterway and of connecting it with the
Great Lakes have been in the minds of
far-sighted men and no doubt these
dreams will be realized before another
generation has passed from the stage.
In 1915, 62 years ago, great river i'm
provement convention was held in
Memphis. at which Henry Clay IRE
sided. 1t began the demand for
Mississippi river Improvement with
such effect that the Mississippi has
figured very largely in river and har-
Dor bills since that time. There have
been other conventions to promote
Mississippi improvement and COM
mcrce. but this weeks Memphis con-
vention, with its preliminaries. and
the Preside mt of the United States in
attendance is the largest and most
impressive of the whole and probably
will have the largest result.
The demand on the national treasury
will be heavy. The sum of 500. 600
would hardly pay for the several
projects already preached for the II
foot channel to Chicago and the i'm
provrment asked for the upper Mis-
sisyinri the Missouri and the Ohio
That il Il large sum of money. but it
is much less than the smallest kind of
war would cost us, while the result
would be enormously beneficial to Il
most important section of the country.
The revival of the use of waterways
seems to be at hand for all sections.
There i talk of canal construction. The
Atlantic coast wants its inside passage
for commerce and all the coast cities
are clamoring for deep sea channel
The deep waterway from Chicago to
the Gulf has just now the most en-
thusiastic and energetic backing. and
probably will be one of the first of the
great Improvements to be realized.

That is Il great series of speeches
which President Roosevelt has been
delivering in the Mississippi valley
this week. Each of the half dozen was
carefully prepared during the days of
the summer vacations at Oyster Bay
and in each Of them the President had
something to say of interest and inn
portance on the great questions of the
day Although the audience in each
instance was composed Of only few
thousand people he was speaking to
the whole country and these speeches,
like all OF President Roosevelt's public
Gtterancts. have been read with the
closest interest in all parts of the Land.
All the speeches have been in the
Presidents characteristic vein. forteful
declarations of the administration :
policy on the great problems which con-
front it. No backward step is taken
uron any line but the President makes
it plain that he stands for the enforce
ment of law without discrimination. for
fair play for ALL and for everything
which stands for public welfare and
national progress.
