TALKS In THE SOUTH.
PRESIDENT EooMs DEEP WATER
WAY AT MEMPHIS.
Given Great Ovation in Historic
Southern City - Acknowledges
Greeting Amid Din of Exploding

The most remarkable public demon
stration in the history of the historic
Southern city of Memphis took place
Friday when the Lakes to- the-Gulf wa
terways 1lotilla, bearing President
Roosevelt rounded Hopefield bend in
the Mississippi just above the city and
moved slowly down the stream toward
its docks. The bank ON that side of
the stream at which the boats were to
moor was literally aflame with the ma
tional colors. Packed behind this bril-
liant bulwark were 10000 men, women
and children foregathered from ali the
country within radius of forty miles.
AS the boats came into sight a wave
of cheers swept in a rising crescendo
over the crowd and an instant later
the sirens of a thousand steamboats,
stretching over two miles along the
shore burst into jubilation. When the
boats came near enough so that OBJ
jects could be distinguished President
Roosevelt was seen standing on the
top deck of the vessel in the lead.
Then the din broke loose afresh. A
score of bombs were set off and the
crowd shouted itself hoarse.
The President, still standing on the
upper deck of the government boat, ac-
knowledged the greetings while the
vessel was still in mid-stream, and the
cheering continued until he had been
escorted from the steamer into his car
riage and the parade through the
streets began. Between packed mass
es of yelling, cheering humanity, the
parade wendell its way until Court
Square had been reached, where the
Presidential carriage was stopped and
the Chief Executive listened to water
ways anthem, Fourteen Feet Through
the Valley as sung by 5000 school
children attired in uniform costume
and each waving small American
flag. The effect of the picture was
most striking and the President was
visibly impressed.
The address of the President at the
convention, in which he strongly advo-
Gated the deep waterways plan, was
enthusiastically received A distin-
guished array of Congressman of both
houses, the Governors of twenty-three
States of the inland waterways com
mission and delegates to the number of
4 600, besides many spectators in the
general gallery Of the hall, heard the
President speak and joined in the APP
plause.
In his speech the President proudly
announced it was a Roosevelt who ran
the first steamboat on the big river.
He reiterated that the undesirable citi-
zen is still undesirable. He told the
people he had no excuse to offer for
his former declaration. President
Roosevelt was strong for deep water
and also took an excursion into a new
field He wants the people to be better
farmers and not let the hillsides wash
into the streams. He advocated intelli-
gent farming and saving of the forests
and the utilization of water power In
manufacturing.
