President Roosevelt'(hid: MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. "The Mississippi valley Is a mag' nlflrent empire In alse and .fertility. It Is better adapted to the development of Inland navigation than any other valley In either hemlaphere, for there are 13,- onn miles of waterway* now more or less fully navigable, ant} the conditions are so favorable that It will be easy to increase the extent of navigable water, ways to almost any required degree by canalisation. "Early In our Industrial history this valley waa the seat of the largest de velopment of Inland navigation In the fnlted Htates. and perhaps you will pardon my mentioning that the Drat steamboat west of the Alleghenies waa built by a Roosevelt, my great-grand father's brother. In 1111, for the New Orleans trade, and In that year made the trip from Pittsburg to New Or- leana. But from various causes river and canal transportation declined all over the United States as the railroad systems came to their full devel ment. It la our butlnea* to see that decline la not permanent, and It Is of Interest to remember that nearly a cen tury ago President Madison advocated the canalisation of the Mississippi. WEALTH INCOMPARABLE. "In wealth of natural resource* no kingdom of Europe can compare with the Mississippi valley and the region around the great lakes, taken together, and In population this huge fertile plain already aurpaaaea all save one or two of the largest European kingdoms. In thi* empire a peculiarly stalwart and mas terful people finds Itself In the sur roundings beat fitted for the full devel opment of It* powers and faculties, "There has been a great growth In the valley ef manufacturing centers; the movement la good If It does not go too far; but I moat earnestly hope that thla region as a whole will remain predominantly agricultural.

He Is probably to be the new colonel of the Fifth regiment Who la to succeed Colonel Clifford I* Anderson as colonel, of the Fifth regl ment of the National Guard of Geor gia? With the election of Colonel Ander son to the position of brigadier gen eral assured by tha retirement of Colo, nel W. G. Obear from the race, this la the question which military men are now asking themselves and each other. There Is on* answer to the question by military men; and that Is—Major E. E. Pomeroy. Until It becam* definitely known that Colonel Anderson would be promoted, thus necessitating an election for colo nel of the regiment, very lljtle ha* been said In regard to the matter, but •Ince his election Is practically assured Major Pomeroy Is being prominently mentioned as hi* successor. Up to the present the major has no opposition In HI* candidacy, and mili tary men In Atlanta Friday stated that In all probability h* will be elected without opposition. The election will not be held until after Colonel Anderson la elected brig adier general. Major Pomeroy has been connected with the Fifth regiment for a number of years, and has held the rank of ma jor four or nve years. He ranks among the most efficient military men In the State and the colonel's epaulets will fit him well. Should Major Pomeroy be elected colonel of the Fifth his election will necessitate still another election to fill the vacancy caused by his promotion. Captain I. T. Catron, of Company C, has announced his candidacy for this position and Captain W. T. Spratt, of Company D. may probably enter the race for this office. The-board of trustees of the Georgia Institute of Technology has launched a plan to convert the Tech Into a night us well as a day school, and from all Indications the night school will be opened on January 1.

Matheaon, waa au thorised to make an Investigation as to the feasibility of the plan and to confer with the city council aa to (he financing of the proposed night school. In case the council refuses to make the necessary appropriation then prob ably the patriotic citizens of Atlanta will be called upon to make the nec essary contributions. The matter will he brought before the city council next Monday afternoon. It la probable that the finance committee will be called together on Saturday or early on Mon day and asked to Include the necessary funds for financing the school from January to Juno In the October appor tionment sheet, which has been made up and will be reported to council Mon. day. For Working Mon, ''The plan,” stated President Mathe- aon, “la one that can not fall to appeal to the people of the city generally, to the laboring man and to the employer of the laboring man. "Out at the college we hav* a mag nificent plant which can be made just *■ useful In night as It la In day. This plant could be thrown open to the working men of the state who live In Atlanta; the mechanic who has to work In the day time could perfect him self In this profession at night; the aspiring young working man who has not had the opportunity before may learn chemistry or tha electrical busi ness. or any kindred trade. "We could accommodate at loaat 500 at the night aehool, could have a special faculty and we might he able to use some members of the regular day fac ulty who are willing to take up thla work. “At the Armour Institute In Chicago the dally attendance la 500, while the pupils at the night school number 1,100. At Berlin there are 85 of such night school*. Here we hav* none. "A nominal tuition could be charged •ay 35 a term. What working man would not be willing to pay $1 a month to attend the school? Council will be •aked to appropriate about 13.500 for the first term, which begins Jahuary. "Next year It la proposed to run the school from September to June. I am meeting with encouragement from ev ery source, and am now confident of the feasibility of the plan.” The apportionment sheet for the last quarter has been made up by the finance committee, and an effort will be ADDRESSES Emphasizes Important Part Women Play in Church.
