The President Right.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
President Roosevelt has in his special
message wisely and justly based his de-
Tense and justification of the policy and acts
of his administra ton at Panama upon the
broad ground that the inter-oceanic canal
had to be built. built without delay and
built under the complete control OF the
United States. When Colombia refused such
control as it did by rejecting the treaty on
this ground 1t refused the canal. All that
followed was necessary because the canal Is
necessary. More cannot be said and more
need not be said. President Roosevelt mas
established his case. AT every great hlstorl-
cal iIncture when some new duty looms,
1t is always possible to find fault; but the
verdicts of history rest always with those
who do and not with those who carp.

Message Unsatisfactory.
From the New York Times

FROM the New York Times.
The administration Is on the defensive,
and the Presidents attempted justification
OF It's course upon the isthmus. in the mes
sage sent to Congress yesterday, Is in our
Judgment insufficient and unsatisfactory.
The est of the Presidents policy is sup
piled In the answer to the question Have
we In our treatment OF Colombia conformed
- the principles Of right and justice? The
answer to that question is furnished by the
answers that can truthfully be made to the
two further questions: Did we go beyond
the line of right and duty In giving en-
enlargement to the rebels ON the isthmus.
and. Did we in our anxiety to build the
canal make wrongful and unwarranted use
of our authority under the treaty?

Proposed Method Of Settling Russo
Chinese CONTROVERSY.

Reports of unrest in China and fndica-
lions that the Picking government IL In
clined to join hands with Tokyo in the
event of war between Russia and Japan
have been received at the State Department
The possibility of China becoming involved
in such a conflict presents. it is said, a
very grave menace to American trade, and
the officials Of the Washington government
are disposed to bring to bear all the moral
pressure at their command both at st. PEE
tersburg and Picking. to preserve peace be-
tween Russia and China even IL war between
Russia and Japan cannot be averted.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In the special message which he sent 10
Congress yesterday the President tells the
story of the events which preceded. accom-
panied and followed the recent revolution
on the Isthmus of Panama in PLAIN
frank. sincere. straightforward and opvl-
ously candid way which must carry convlc-
ton to every Intelligent and Impartial MIND
He fairly and suuarely and vigorously meets
and answers the charges brought by such
intriguing democrats as Mr.. German or
Maryland, utterly INSCRIPTIONS In the
eagerness of their search for an available

weIl-meaning but hypercritical and super

Commissioner Yeomans today said that
thus far there had nothing been learned
that was to the detriment of the conduct
of the Office. but added that there would
not be a single paper overlooked in the
course Of the Investigation, and that some
days longer would be required for the COM
pletion of the work.
The books of the office of Secretary Nose

Roosevelt's Critics ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Find Fault.
From the New York Tribune.

The President in his canal message offers
no excuses or apologies for his action in
Panama. There was no reason why he
should do So The course of the admins
tration has been SO clear and straightfor-
ward and SO in accord with both law and
morals as to need for its vidication nothing
more than an equally clear and straightfor-
ward recital of the facts. That the Presi-
dent supplies in his message. 1t should
prove conclusively to every mind that is not
incapacitated by blind prejudice from seeing
Alright and thinking Alright.

of the indictments reported against James
N. Tyner and Harrison ]. Barrett. In con-
neetion with the Post Office Department In

Bold and Convincing

From the New York Mail and Express.
The President Is able to show that tn
Colombians deliberately proposed to con-
hscate the French interests in the canal. as
well as to play fast and loose with the
rights and interests of the United States.
They played a desperate game and lost
He 5ustifies the secession of Panama and

Results May Be Kept Secret.

There has been much interest in the re-
port that financial results of the Steel Cor
poration business may be kept secret In
the future. Some Pittsburgers favor this,
possibly more from the fact that such was
the policy of the manufacturers before the
consolidation era. One hears, occasionally,
that the F'rick and Rockefeller interests
favor the plan, and that it will ultimately
be adopted. 1t is argued that United States
Steel stocks are primarily in the specula-
tive class Just as Amalgamated Copper and
Standard OIL are, despite the efforts of the
Morgan element to put the preferred stock
among investment securities.
