BRYAN, TOO, FOR DEEP WATER WAYS Follows Taft in Endorsing Movement Before Big
 Convention in
 Chicago. GETS AN OVATION. TOO Declares It VIII Be Much Easier 10 Regulate Commerce on Rivers Than on Rallroads--Smali .. Capitalists Opportunity,
GETS AN OVATION. TOO

Chicago, oct S,--When William I. Bryan, speaker of the day at the sec ond session of the deep waterways convention, reached the auditorium theater to-day, the audience rose in a body cheering ustily IL was repetition of that accorded William H. Taft yesterday Mir. Bryan's address was repeatedly interrupted by ap- plause. He said
 "l am glad to meet with those who assemble here in the interests Of the developments of the waterways Of this country, I am heartily in sym pathy with you, You cannot give the people too many facilities for the transportation of their merchandise.
 Water transportation Is the nat ural transporta ton. God made the rivers. man made the railroads, The rivers were the means before the rail- roads were invented and while 'hc railroad has given us speed 1t has not given us the chespness that the tiVer gives. And speed is not the only thing. The railroad cannot rival the water course in cheapness.
 And there is another advantage that the water course has. When you finish a river sufficiently deep Tor commerce, or a canal upon which boats can float you make It possible for a man with small capital to act, while the railroads make it possible for men with large capital to act. The hig boat will have to meet the rate that the little boat fixes. You will find II much easier to regulate rates on water than on land because competition can be much more ac- tive m water than on land.
 The time has come when the and available for homosteads is being well taken up, and when these lands are occupied, then instead of sending people into new fields to laN out new states We must begin to take smaller sections and develop the land more thoroughly and with that will come a pressing need for better transporta ton"
