President Roosevelt, bronzed anC
Vigorous, paid a flying visit to Vicks
burg and made a speech. The presi
dent arrived at Delta, just across the
Mississippi river. He Immediately EN-

city. The bluffs overlooking the river
were lined with people, who gave the

President Roosevelt entered the for
ward carriage at the pier, and with
Mayor B. W. Griffith and General
stephen d. Lee. headed a parade
which passed through the principal
streets to the national cemetery.
The president was received with en-
thusiastic acclaim. The streets were
packed with people. who cheered the
visitor at every opportunity.
The presidents speech was almost
wholly confined to advocating a deeper
channel in the Mississippi river. He
said in part:
while 1 do not like to say in ad-
vance what 1 intend to do, l shall
break my rule in this case and say
that in my next message to congress
7 shall advocate as heartily as I know
how that the congress now elected
shall take the first steps to bring
about that deep channel way and the |
attendant high and broad levee sys-
