New Orleans, Oct. 31.-Speaker Can
non in presiding at last nights
smoker, defed the insurgents" and
declared that the recent attacks upon
him are 'tommyrot." The speakers
utterances were made on the stage at
the Atheneum, where President Tart
yesterday afternoon advocated water
ways. Within a few feet was a ring,
set for a pair of boxers. In the wings
in abbreviated skirts, sat dancers who
were also to entertain.
AS the speaker arose in response to
yells he was handed a gavel as large
as a croQuet mallet and cigar that
looked like a fence rail.
This" he began, swinging the great
gaVel over his head, might be called
a setting maui. If it were in the
hands of the presiding officer, it would
represent the authority Of the major
ity. The moment the man who holds
the gavel ceases to represent the will
of the majority, his name is Dennis.
There has been a lot of foolish
ness INDUCED in by a few tel4oWs OF
the minority who have not been able
to swing the majority, fellows who
have said that if we stood still we
would be blessed if we moved we
would be damned-fellOWs who said
that this autocratic parsonage, (here
the speaker threw back his coat and
strutted around the stage), was a col

to carry this waterway and the pro.
lection of farm lands adjacent to it
throughout the course of the Mississ-

Mr.. Kavanagh said: engineers
have surveyed the route, and have
declared a deep waterway feasible
and easy Of accomplishment. The
best civil engineers have declared it
inevitable" he said. Chicago has
spent $6O,OOO,OOO cutting the channel
through the rocky divide, and Illinois
is spending $2O,OO0,OOO to step it by
locks down to the soft-bottom portion
Of the Illinois river" the speaker de
clared. From there to the gulf the
way is clear and the plans are
ready"
Mr. Kavanagh quoted President
Taft as having said that in order to
solve the transportation problem we
must have recourse to our waterways
and continued: THE problems Of
transportation multiply with the in.
crease Of prosperity, and the presi.
dent of the nation who is so certain
that waterways are the solution of
our trouble is the very one who is
the most determined to lead us on
to the greatest increase of prosperity
Prosperity demands a guarantee Of
this that whatever turn the general
plans for the conservation of water
may take, the project for the 14-foot
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway
shall be adopted and pushed on to
completion.
The speaker declared that the SEN
timent of the Mississippi valley is so
determined on this project that a con
gresham who would refuse to sane
ton it could not be returned to Wash
ingtOn.
"There is" he said, "no longer
doubt but that the great majority of
our people not only favor but are en-.

velopment of our waterways, and first

in the future Of the valley have al
