ST. LOUIS, MO., October 2.—(Spec
ial)—In a speech delivered heje to
day, before an audience that exceeded
any St. Louis, with its long record of
great conventions and assemblages
of all kinds, has ever known, and
after a reception that exceeded In en
thusiasm any president of the United
States has probably ever been ac
corded, President Roosevelt in the
strongest language expressed his Ir
revocable belief that the United States
must either Increase Its navy, and
maintain It at the highest standard
of lighting efficiency, or lose its Rat
ional prestige.
Unless the naval lighting force of
this countfy 18 made larger, and kept
on a parity with the finest navies of
the world, it will mean that eventually
and perhaps during this generation,
we may have to back down from our
assertion of the Monroe doctrine. In
no speech that he has delivered has
the president made it more apparent
that his convictions on this point are
unalterably fixed, and that for the re
mainder of his term he will be an
advocate of a progressive navy Is
now unquestioned.
Referring to the progress of the
Panama Canal, and its bearing on our
naval policy and on our great com
merce and its probable development
with the Pacific ocean coasts, the
President expressed the firm belief
that It would soon be dug. If work
keeps on as It has recently been pro
gressing he declared that the canal
would be completed within five or six
years. The president spoke at some
length of the great national benefits
that would be derived from the com
pletion of the canal, dwelling with
some emphasis on its Importance to
Is destined to play in the future his
tory of the country.
Referring to the railroad situation,
the president again took up the topic
of federal supervision of these cor
porations. He pointed out that pro
bably eighty-five per cent, of the bus
Iness done by the railroads is inter
state in its character. With forceful
argument he showed that the nation
alone, can exercise a thorough and
complete supervision of the great cor
porations , transportation and other
wise, and that the people must look
to the national government to see
that justice Is done to all parties in
terested, the corporations and the
public whom they are Intended
serve.
The United States government-
maintained, must have the widest con
trol possible of -the transportation
lines of the land. This was jno plea
for centralization, or deprivation, of
states of their rights, but a necessary
movement growing out of conditions
that had hrisen from the vast develop
ment of the country, conditious
against which the people were arous
ed. and the remedy for which could
alone be adequately found In United
States control of the roads.
The president's visit was a series
of popular receptions of the wildest
enthusiasm. From the moment of
his arrival until his departure hund
reds of thousands of people were
massed In the throughfares through
which he passed and about the places
where he was being entertained. Par
ty lines were unknown, Democrats
and Republicans joined hands in
scenes of popular approval of the
president's, policy and admiration
for the personality of the man that
the South, and the Important part It will probably never be excelled.

Amerlcus warehousemen and buy
ers were not a little surprised when
the market dropped' down a quar
ter cent -yesterday morning In the
(ace of a very bullish monthly bu
reau report whereas, in all reason,
It should have advanced a half cent
Instead. The glnners report showed
a total of 1,994,230 bales ginned in
the entire Bouth Sip to October 1st,
last Tuesday, against 2,040,000 ginned
to October 1st last year, a shortage
of 45,000 bales this season. This in
itself was bull dope all right, but the
Government condition report was
even- better for the bulls, showing a
crop condition of only .677 per cent
against .72 percent a month ago, a
decline of more than 4 per cent. Even
a condition of .71 or 72 per cent
should have sent prices higher, but
despite official estimates the sharks
and gamblers raided the market and
put prices down a quarter cent. But
this decline can be only temporary.
The bureau figures speak for them
selves, and if the Government's es
timate is worth a continental "doub
led" the market is bound to react.
Cotton sold in Amerlcus at 11 to
11 1-9 yesterday after the "bureau"
fell, as against 11 3-8 to 11 1-4 Cents
previously.
