WASHINGTON, Dec. ". A.-P.-The Senate passed the House resolution authorizing the ex- penditure of $125, ,OOO for the protection of Goo- ernn,ent property along Lowell creek with the amendment requiring the town of Seward, or other local interests, to contribute S25,O0O.

NOTE-It is estimated that thus far Lowell Creek has created damage to over s3OOooo to local, private and gov ernment property as well as to rail- road property. In 1903 the creek went on rampage and almost under mined and wrecked the Federal build ing. In 1917, which can be rightly called the year of the big flood, the damage was immense and grave fears were felt then that the entire town would be swept away. However, each year the stream does consider able damage and it is constant men ace to the entire municipality. The Seward City Council, some months ago, authorized the Senate to obligate the City of Seward for s25,OOO so that the bill might be put through.

DIXIE REPUBLICANS
GIVE PRAISE TO T.R.:
Former President Would
Look to South America, Not
Europe, Speaker Saws.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, October 28.-Were
Theodore Roosevelt alive today "he
would not stand on the soil of New
England to ponder the tariff and in.
ternational problems, with his face
toward Europe, but would take his
stand in the Mississippi Valley with
his face toward South America and
the Orient Col. E,lon H. Hooker,
New York chemical engineer and an
intimate friend of the former Presi.
dent, declared last night.
Speaking at a dinner given in. honor
of the sixty eighth anniversary of
Roosevelt's birth by the Southern
States Republican League, Mr.. Hook.
er said the former President would
pay less attention to European. af-
fairs and more to cultivating good re-
lations with South America and the
Orient, the natural markets for Amer
ica's stupendous industrial produc-
ton"
kilograms of greeting were sent to
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt President
Coolidge, Vice President Dawes,
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Elihu Root,
Charles E. Hughes and Uncle" Joe
Citizenship Is Keynote.
Citizenship and the necessity for
raising the moral standards of the
Republican party in the South to a
position of unQuestioned respectable
ity," were the keynoteS sounded by
President Charles u. Gordon of Green
Vile, Miss, and Harry Spears, Mem.
phis attorney, at the opening session
EulogiZing Roosevelt as "coura-
geous, dynamic figure, who was Presi.
dent of the whole United States, with
no special section set aside for Spe-
cial care or nourishment," Mr.. Hooker
declared that if everything else in his
career should be wiped out, he would
go down in history for one accom-
plishment, "theawakeningi in the minds
of young men of America of a yearn-
interest in the welfare of their
country"
Victory for Ogden l.. Mills over
Gov. Al Smith for Governor of New
York was predicted by A. 3. Hum
phrey of the National Republican Club
of New York. He inferred that such
a victory by the Republican candi-
date would thus eliminate Gov. Smith
as a presidential possibility.
Defends G. o. p. Tariff.
In discussing methods of strength.
ening the Republican party, he de.
Clared:
If we could get some of the good
Democrats in the South and get rid
of some of the bad Republicans in the
North, we would have a strong, in
vincible party"
A tribute to George Washington and
Benjamin Franklin for their work in
holding the American Union together
was paid by Col. Henry w. Anderson,
attorney, of Richmond Va, in an ad-
dress last night on National Unity"
But for the efforts of Washington and
Franklin, he said, the Union would
have fallen soon after 1t was founded.
The convention will continue through
today. A visit to Stone Mountain,
where the famous Confederate me-
mortal is being carved, is a feature of
the program.
