SHOULD ACT AT ONCE
RoosEvELT's DUTY AS To
 CANAL NATTER.
Senator Morgan Says the spoonef Ac; Should Be Carried Out py
 the President-News or Birmingham.

 tor John T. Morgan and daughter, Miss Mary Morgan, arrived in Birmingham from Selma last night and left today at noon for points in the West. to spend several weeks.
 Senator Morgan was seen at the Hill man Hotel this morning He did not care to discuss the political situation at this time. but had something to say about the negotiations with Colombia. In speaking of this he said:
 '"I cannot suppose that the President has any other purpose than to execute the Spooner canal law. in good faith. He is an executive ofilcer under that law, with a discretion as to what Is reas- onable time within which to negotiate with Marroquin. President of Colombia. and for that country to take action on that treaty.
 .Marroauin and our President agreed that the 22nd of September was the limit of that period, and our Senate concurred in that limit by a two-thirds vote.
 '"rhe Colombian Congress had not asked any extension of time as to that treaty, but dispatched 1t at the first blow by a unanimous vote. Any negotiation now to be commenced with Colombia would DC entirely new. This would be an evasion of the spooner law. signed by the Pres ident It would be more. It would vio- late the 6pooner law and would be an in excusable breach of faith towards the men who voted for that law and saved 1t in a committee of conference of the two houses. cannot suppose that the Pres ident has any such purpose. or that he is willing to submit to having the United states -badeered into submission to Co., lombia in this matter and in this way We have had enough of that, having of- fered Colombia more than 100000 in money and property. for concessions that she agreed to sell us for $7,000.00o in April, 1902, and now a second time breaks her agreement.
 '"The eloquent increase in the so-cAlled market price of the new Panama Canal stock in Paris is q manifest deception. intended to excite the belief that some new plan to construct that canal is be- ing agitated. That this idea should have remained smothered while there was a prospect of getting $4o,oo0ooo for this dereiict, and should break forth when All hope of that raid had ceased. Is better calculated to amuse the people of the United States than 1t Is to alarm them into demanding a renewal of negotia- tions with Colombia. We have never ob- tected to the construction of the Panama Canal, by the French company, under q ninety -nine-year lease. the ownership be- ing in. Colombia, together with the re- sponsibility.
 "our industrial and mercantile classes will not complain of competition between two canals. and lower canal tolls, if two can be built. But no man ie so stupid as Go believe that even one canal can be built by any other power than the United States. It is about time that some re- spect should be paid to the law and the facts, in this great matter. and l believe the country has already reached ,conelu- aions that, will never be reversed"
