WASHINGTON, May JO.-Presldont
nooawoli Is seriously coiisltlvrlng ar
invlittilun to attend a deep waterway
convention to be hold In Memphis In
October. Although ha has not yet ar
rival at any decision, beratis of the
press of public work that will met
blm on hi return lo the White House
In the tatter part of September, It la
wti-known that ha will make every
effort lo be In attendance. .The Preal
dent's deep Interest In the question of
watarway transportation la thoroughly
understood.
The fact that the Memphis: Invitation
might be accepted became known
through tha declination of an Invita
tion from Albert Oodihaux, president
of tha New Orleans Progressive Union,
urging tha president to at ten J a meet
ln In New Orleans Immediately fol
lowltw the i Memphis convention, a
Which will b discussed tha proposed
exposition to be held In 1915 to celeb
rate tha opening of the Panama Canal.
It l understood that the promoters of
tha exposition' ,wlh to make Mr.
Roosevelt director general of tha big
fair. Thin honor la considered em
inently fitting; firstly, because tha
actual assumption of, tha task of con-
i
ministration, and because It lias been
' largely due to hla powerful Personal)
ty tnat tha work haa progressed ao
eailsfactorlly In the face of such ser
ious diriculilet.
Although the question of waterways
development haa mt yet bn tha sub
ject of one of the numerous apodal
mesgs to Congress, nor beri touch
ed upon In mora than a broad way in
annual message, It baa tuk-m first
rank aa one of the policies of the
Rooaevslt administration. ' In addition
to the passage of a record-breaking
river and harbor bill by the Blxtluth
Congress, President Itposevelt went a
atep further In the appointment of the
Inland Waterways Commission. Owe
this commission gts Into full work-;
lug swing It Is believed It will prove a
nation la deeply concerned, for It I
unnecessary to any that those that
live remote from any navigable river,
from any deep sea harbor, yet have al
most aa great, though an. Indirect
concern In their proper care and de
velopment aa those who live right on
the borders, for the developement of
our commerce depends In large part
upon the same treatment of the rivers
and 'harbors of the United States."
Although the President la not able
to attend the meeting at New Orleans
In October, It I very likely that the
members of the Inland Waterways
Commission, who are now makelng an
Inspection trip down the Mississippi
River from Kansas City to the Gulf,
will be the guests of New Orlenns Pro
gressive Union, President (Jodchsui
sent a telegraphic Invitation to Con
gressman Theodore Burton, Chairman
of the commission, urging that they
most valuable adlunct to th rivors
and harbors committee of the Jlouso.j,,e ,ho L'n,0' '"mt on lbelr arrlval
In all of his unofficial uiiwumi th there. It Is highly probable that the
President has made plain hla Interest
In this question, In December he said
In addressing the delegatea to the last
convention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress: ,
"I have had It brought strikingly to
my attention but recently how much
we suffer at present because ct the In
adequate transportation facilities of
the railways for movelng the great
grain crop end cattle crop of the coun
try. We need, and must have, further
futilities for transportation, and, as
has been well pointed out,
effective methods of affecting railroad
rates a to provide for a proper system
of water transportation."
Mr. Roosevelt's Interest In the pro
blem Is not of recent birth.. It) ad
dressing the National Rivera and Har
bors Congress convention In the previ
ous year he said:
"It la a very great pleasure to have
the chance of greeting you In the
vhlte House this afternoon. I some
times have visitors who want to dis
cuss with me matters In which I am
not Interested, but a congress like
this is always welcome, becnuxe it has:
Invitation will be accepted.

Why Don't You Ask
For What You Want
As long as you buy cigars in the old indifferent
guess-work way of taking whatever is handed
out toyou just so long wfll you pay for fre
quent disappointments. '
Why don't you ask for what you want ?
Don't gims which is the best cigar-and don't
let anyone guess for you.
You can be sure. The better kinds of cigars
are all distinguishable by the "Triangle A"
mark of merit on the box.
"Triangle A" brands are unmistakably
superior in all smoking qualities in aromatic
fragrance, smooth, uniform blend and absolute
cleanness to cigars made the "old way and
"Triangle A" brands are the only cigars made
the new way.
There are many "Triangle A" brands
of many different names, different blends, dif
ferent shapes and different prices to suit different
tastes. The "Triangle A" is a guarantee that
covers them all it distinguishes the superior
product of our new scientific inanufadmng
methods. ' - .
No better proof of our claims could be offered
than is found in the wonderfully improved
quality of
The New CREMO
which represents the best quality that can be
produced and sold for five cents it proves every
claim we make for cigars ' sold under the
"TriangleA."
Every box is extaMmpped in glassine paper, sealed
to maintain perfect smoking condition and cleanliness
until the box is opened.
