John A. ex of Arkansas, special representative of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, travels nationwide with sermons on better waterways. He has logged about 50,000 miles since January 1 and delivered 168 speeches in leading cities. At the Cincinnati meeting in 1905, seven men formed the movement that led to the congress reestablishment.
