WHY AMERICA RULES THE WORLD

If the United States has taken the worlds
leadership in the production Of natural wealth
thus early in Its career, what may not be expect
ed of it ten years from now, when the enormous
SUN of capital and personal energy invested in
development work throug hout the West and
South during these last two marvellous years
will have begun to yield its lavish returns? I?
What long list of rich mines and huge indus
trial enterprises will appear in the records of
decade hence, that now are Only in their initial
stages. How many new cities will have sprung
ful-grown into being in place where now only
the pick of the pioneer dsturbs the principa
silence. Boston capitalists open up tale noun
tains of fabulous wealth in Newfoundland; Mr..
Hagerty lays the foundations of a second Butte
in his Okanogan district of Washington; northern
and eastern millions pour into South and old
Mexico Transforming the industrial life of great
region, moving large populations, harnessing
natural forces and bringing into the worlds
markets vast stores of natural wealth long-hidden
or neglected 1t is a wonderful era, and these
types of its activity fifty interpret the conq"erlng
constructive spirit of the people and the age
If Russia is to be the chief world power in 2OO3,
as predicted, it will have to step lively.

HANNA'S PANAMA CANAL VICTORY.

Mutterings of public complaint he needed
not, and when l saw him, during those trying
hot days OF last spring, going about early and
late, regardless ofof his health or comfort, to
reverse not only the action of the senate but the
already recorded vote of the house, there was a
touch of the heroic in it. Almost single-handed
he started, grounded aud fixed in the justice and
correctness of business propositions. His great
speech, characteristic of the man and the time,
plain, lucid, business-like logical, actually
changed more votes and reversed more porten-
tious tide of public sentiment than any other
speech ever delivered in the senate. The elo-
quence ofWebster and Clay could never have
met the Panama proposition 1t was stua-
tian that only long experience and well-seasoned
business men could face.

The Presidents Popularity Aboard.

1t is not strange that this frank, straighttor-
ward American citizen, so liz minded in his
motives and 50 democratic in his sympathies,
should have won great place in the confidence
and affection Of American people. He has also
taken a marvellous hold upon the imagination
and the interests Of the people of Europe. A
discerning resident of Amsterdam informed this
Country, the other day, that with the exception Of
their own queen, Wilncmina, there was no
parsonage now living in the whom the people
of Holland took nearly so much interest as in
President Roosevelt. The people Of France read
eagerly all his utterances. His practical philo-
sophy of life falls in most usefully with the
wholesome point of view that the best political
and social elements in our great sister republic
are earnestly teaching to the new generation of
Frenchmen. AS for Germany, it is not merely
the Emperor and Prince Henry, and the
LEADERS, of the army and navy, who have express
ed their liking for President Roosevelt and their
appreciation of his versatility for the German
people as whole have remarkably warm feel
ing toward him, which is shown in their news
papers and in many private as we'll as public
ways. All parties and organs in England, of
late, with hardly any exceptions of friendiness
toward the people Of the United States and if
one may judge by the overwhelming tone of the
English press, Presidents Roosevelt's popularity
is greater in that country than that enjoyed by
any contemporary head of foreign country in
recent times. He seems, in short, to embody,
to Europeans, the best and most honorable Am
erican traits of mind and cbaracter,-to typify
those qualities that belong to a gentleman in a
democratic republic like ours, and to represent
the lest intellectual aims and aspirations Of this
Western world.
