WATERWAYS NEED
in U. S. INTERIOR
DECLARED URGENT
'Deepwater" Thompson
Tells Kiwanians of
Hurt to Business.

s. A. "Deepwater" Thompson,
speaking before the Kiwanis Club az
their weekly luncheon yesterday
noon. on the Washington roof, rem
dered a comprehensive survey of the
dire need of more deep waterways
in the interior of the nation!
Thompson brought out how the
absence of suitable waterways In
the central part of the United States
was forcing the population to the
coasts, when this population should
be distributed all over the country
IL the nation is to expand as 1t nat
uraiIy should. He further declared
that the absence of necessary
waterways was crushing many
Western business men out OF busi-
ness.
Urges Rail Waterways.
There is no doubt in my mind, &"
he concluded, that it would pay
railroad companies to build water
ways along their tracks and l have
statistics which will substaptiate
this belief"
Representative Will D. Upshaw,
of Georgia. was a speaker. He was
enthusiastically applauded when ne
declared that anyone who charges
me with being in favor of the blue
laws which would prohibit people
from enjoying the beauties of Ma
ture or the kissing between husband
and wife on the Sabbath is an un-
mitigated fool and an unfumigated
liar"
In concluding a brief address.
Upshaw pledged his support in Sc
curing suffrage for the District Il
want residents of the District to be
able to sing My Country Tis of
Thee in stead OF My District 'Tis
OF Thee, 3" he declared.

cas- corpus then issued would not
be allowed to serve as writs of
delay. There will be no appeal. the
