TAFT REACHES
NEW ORLEANS
Junket Down the Mississippi
Ended Today.
BADGERIhG UNCLE JOE CANNON
The President Discovers That the
Speaker Is With Him and Against
Him on His Waterway Program.

New Orleans, La. Oct. 3O.-Presi-
dent Taft's junket down the Mississip-
nj river ended this afternoon. The
boats carrying the twenty-five govern
ors. the III congressman and the host
Of deep waterway boosters stuck
closer to the presidents flagship. and
the run from Natchez to this city was
made without chartering a single spe
cial train.
The presidents program here In
cmdes a luncheon at the archbishop's
palace. a speech before the waterways
convention. a football game between
the University OF Louisiana and Sc
vance. a dinner by one Of the New
Orleans clubs and a French opera in
the evening
The thing that stands out strongest
in the Taft trip down the river is the
presidents persistent badgering OF
Uncle Joe Cannon. Uncle Joe ducked
and lodged. but the president drove
him into an open declaration on wa
terways. The speaker has made 1t
plain that he is opposed to Mr.. Taft's
plan of issuing bonds for improve
ments. but the president Is still nag
ging him.
"All / can agree to do" said the
president in speech before the st.
Louis Business Mems League. rs to
keep punching Uncle Joe up to the
point where he may make an admis-
sion. and If I accomplish that feat be
tween st. Louis and New Orleans ]
shall have done something equal to
the work which presents itself to the
engineers in improving this river"
In another speech the president re-
ferred to the speakers biblical quota
tions on the trip down the river. I'm
Gle Joe" has sought TO create the i'm
preston that he Is with Mr.. Taft on
his waterway program. but there has
always been a but" or two attached
to his Endorsements. usually In the
form of biblical quotations.
Il observe" said the president. that
there has been considerable curiosity
along the shore in reference to Uncle
Joe's attitude. and he. by reason OF his
familiarity with the scriptures has
been able to cloud what he really
thought in the language OF that Orien-
tai literature. which carries him on in
blaze of glory without a full com
initial. All have to say in the pres
ence OF this distinguished statesman
Uncle joel is that he heretofore has
indorsed all I have said with certain
scriptural qualifications, and | am will
ling to endorse all that that Uncle Joe
says II may be permitted to search
through Crudence Concordance and
get a few scriptural quotations"
In other words. Uncle Joe is with
Mr. Taft, but he isn't. and the presi-
dent Is glad to give him the same kind
of an Endorsement.

thoroughly, otherwise the pains OF
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
