NEW ORLEANS ROARS
WELCOME TO TAFT
The Deep Waterways Convention
Opens with the President
as HeadIiner.
OTHER BIG ONES ARE PRESENT
Hundred Thousand People Cheer
When the Little oleander Arrives
-Athenaeum Is Packed.

To the roar of guns from the war
ships at anchor in midstream, saluted
by the deafening shrieks of sirens, the
changing of bells and the shrill cheers
of one hundred enthusiastic citizens
who lined the banks of the Mississippi,
President Taft arrived at New Orleans
shortly after noon Saturday, bringing
to a successful conclusion his long trip
down the river from st. Louis. 1t
was a reception well worthy of the
big President and that he enjoyed it
was very evident.
Standing on the bridge of the trim
and speedy little Oleander, marked
among the group of his personal en-
tourage by his immense size clad in
the now familiar silk hat and frock
coat, he bowed and smiled happily at
the enthusiasm of the throng, turning
now and then to whisper to one of his
party. AS the salute guns of the bat
tleship Mississippi ceased splitting out
their noisy greeting, and while Cap
tain Marshall, in command OF the
squadron, stood on the bridge, the
Oleander rounded to and crept up to
the wharf at the foot of Canal street
Plenty of water here, Mr.. Presi-
dent" remarked the pilot, I'VE have
now nearly two hundred feet beneath
u.s. A moment later the reception
committee was on board and the Pres
idert was escorted to the landing.
The delay in the arrival of Presi-
dent Taft, which also delayed the
starting of the parade, postponed the
opening session of the lakes-to-the-
gulf deep waterways convention. But
as soon as President Werlein's gavel
fell the prearranged program moved
with celebrity. Following Mayor Behr-
mans address of welcome, William K.
Kavanaugh, president of the water
ways association, delivered his annual
address. Immediately following came
the appointment of committees, the
address of the secretary, F. w. Saun-
ders, and the introduction of resolu-
tons, followed by an adjournment UNI
til the afternoon, when Mr.. Taft ad-
dressed the convention.
At the water way convention Mon
day night, 5000 delegates pledged
themselves ITO support no candidate
for public Office who will not unquali-
fiedly indorse" the lake-to-the-gulf
deep-channel policy. The resolution to
this effect was adopted with a whoop.
The resolutions as whole declare
that the moment has arrived for ac-
tual construction of the lakes-to-the-
gulf waterway; that delay cannot be
tolerated by the people of the valley +;
that the needs of the entire nation
must be considered simultaneously
with the demands of the Mississippi
valley, and that unless the present
congress can rise to the occasion it is
time to get a congress that can.

opening of his discussion THE Unit
ed States has many social political
and economic questions, some old, some
new, to settle in their near future; but
none so fundamental as the true rela-
ton Of the land to the national life
The first act in the progress of any civ
ilization is to provide homes for those
who desire to sit under their own vine
and fig tree"
Censure of the existing national land
policy is not wanting from Mr. Hills
article. while we are spending great
sums to transform worthless lands in
to orchards and gardens by the work
of the reclamation service, we still re-
tain as to other areas the land laws
under which for so many years the
great heritage of the people has been
passing so largely into unworthy
hands. For the sake of our national
future, for the sake of the coming
millions who will be helpless unless
each can be furnished with a piece of
tillable land as defense against mis-
fortune, we should see that the specu-
lative abuses which these lands have
fostered are brought to an end. 1t
should not be possible to obtain land
of any kind anywhere in the United
States henceforth except by complying
with all the terms of the homestead
law"
Ilxy he hyf oe IL,
of tillage for old, Mr.. Hill says, the
average crop return of the country
might be doubled, and nearly $8000,-
100000 added annually to the coun-
trys wealth. He says in his discus
sion of specific measures:
IF l could have my way, l should
build couple of warships year less.
Perhaps one would do. | would take
that $5,0O0,0OO or s6,O0O,000 year and
start at least 1000 agricultural schools
in the United States at $4,000 a year
each, in the shape of model farms.
This model farm would be simply a
tract of land conforming in size, soil
treatment, crop selection and rotation,
and methods of cultivation to modern
agricultural methods Its purpose
would be to furnish to all its neigh
borhood working model for common
instruction
The experiment would cost but
fraction of the amount sometimes
given freely for more questionable pur
poses ! would bring the model farm
into every agricultural county; and
if any farmer was in doubt. he could
visit it, see with his own eyes, and
find out what he ought to have done
and what he could do next time. 1t
would do for the farming population
what the technical school does for the
intending artisan, and the schools of
special training for those who enter
the professions Side by side with the
common school it would work for in
telligence, for progress, for the well
fare Of the country in a moral as well
as a material aspect"

FLEET" is DELAYED.
Taft and Party Reach Vicksburg,
Miss, Behind Time.

President Taft and his party moved
on Vicksburg, Miss, Thursday by land
and water. The executive steamed in
at night several hours behind time
and found that his escort Of Cover
nors, Senators and Congressman had
beaten him in by the base ruse of TAX
ing to the railroad.
When the Oleander whistled for the
Yazoo Canal it was $3.50 o'clock at
night, but as the President alighted
from the vessel half an hour later he
found the steep streets of Vicksburg
lined with people who had been wait
ing since early afternoon. Mr.. Taft
made a brief speech, in which he did
not touch on water ways, and then
went to the public dinner which had
been waiting for three hours. The
President left on the Oleander at
1885 p. m. for Natchez
When the sailing orders were chang
ed the previous night and each boat
was told to steam aloRg as fast as it
could, the days of steamboat racing
on the Mississippi were suddenly re-
vived Each captain tried to crowd as
much out of his boiler as he could
When the Governors and other dig
nitaries woke up Thursday morning
and peeked over the rail they discov-
cred that they were left hopelessly be-
hind. 1t looked as if they would reach
Vicksburg long after the President
had left the town.
in order that the Governors and
other honored guests might not be de-
prived of the trip over the battlefield
and through the national cemetery
which had been looked forward to as
one of the big features of the voyage,
President Smith of the Business Mems
League sent the steamer Alton ahead
to Greenville to charter a special
train.
While the difficulties of getting to
Vicksburg appeared to chase water
way talk to the woods for the time
being they have given the travellers
an excellent object lesson of the trou-
bles in navigating the Mississippi in
it's present unimproved condition. 1t
took the Presidents boat, the Olean-
der. one of the fastest on the river,
over twice as long TO get from Green
vile by river as it did the others by
train, and at that the train did not
fuse the rails by its speed.
