President Roosevelt departed from
his printed speech in several instances.
Speaking of the Confederate guard of
honor. he said it was a touching sight
to see these old Confederate soldiers
CARRYING the flag of this great Union.
II any one wanted to know how they
would fight for that flag let him ask
the boys in blue how they fought
against it. He said. with emphasis,
that he was as much the president of
the south as of the north, and was de-
voted to the interests of both. He said
he was half a southerner and when
lie told of two or three of his uncles
having worn the gray he was tremen
donsly applauded.
Speaking of deep water channel
from the gulf to the lakes the presi
dent said he favored rapid improve
ment of the Mississippi river. Like
Davy Crockett, the great Tennessee
an he said, 81 favor his motto BE
Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead,
and this deep water problem is almost
up to the go ahead stage, but We
want to he sure about it." The Pana
ma canal, he said. was getting on well
"and the reason 1t is getting on SO wei
is because we did not allow ourselve.
to ''go off half-cocked."
When the canal has been completed
he said, this nation would not ask 9th

holds that the law violates the con-

according to the decision, is that the
law denies the voter the right to vote
