find the root of the trouble in the

THE PRESIDENT ON PANAMA.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt has sub
mitted to Congress full informa-
ton as to the Panama revolution,
together with his views on the Pa
mama canal question. The Presi-
dent takes very positive stand
upon the question now before
tie American Congress, which
is: "Shall we build the canal?"
The President says that instead
of being too prompt, as has been
charged, the action of the United
States was too long delayed, that
Congress had located the canal,
and that had 1t not been for the
GOODNESS of American marines a
murderous catastrophe would
have occurred on the isthmus.
The charge that anyone connect
ed with the government of the
United States had any part in
melting or encouraging the
revolution is vigorously denied.
He also holds that the recogni-
ton of the new republic is
recognized fact, and that but one
question now remains, and that
is: "ohall we build the canal?'
The President belives that the
interests of the civilized world
in seeing that the canal is built,
is Of far greater Importance than
pandering to the whims of nation
of utter such lack of response
bility as possessed by olumbia,
and he shows his Impotence at
longer trying to deal with that
government. He shows that the
feeling throughout the world has
for many years been that the
United States should build and
operate the canal, and adds that
the idea of deserving the res
possibility under the circum-
stances is "too base to be con-
Sidered even for a moment. -
The president goes after the
opposition to the policy he has
inaugurated in the most forceful
manner, and gives the Congress
and people to understand that
there is to be no hesitancy in
carrying out his plans, and that
the canal is GOING to be built.

IF there is one town in Wis
that is entitled to the plum for
the spirit of enterprise mani
tested by it's citizenship that
town is Superior. In less than
twenty years the place has
sprung from a hamlet and a
paradise for jack rabbits and
grouse, to second Importance
among the cities of the state.
The latest move on the part Of
the people of Superior has been
to start a popular subscription
for stock in a new steel freight
boat, to be built this winter, and
to be placed en- the Great Lakes
in the spring, The single object
Of the movement is to keep the
ship yards running this winter.
The company had announced
that the yards would be closed
this month, and the people up at
the end of the lake began making
arrangements I'd prevent throw
ing all the employees of the
plant out of work. The result
was that the heavy interests of
the place ''plunked" down all the
way from 500 to $4,000 eac..
which amounts are to go towaru ;
building the ship. and whicII /,
to be RIM and operated by The
subscribers TO stock who Will
organize themselves into a com
pany. That is the kind Of
enterprise thai counts in place.
and the spirit shown in it is just
what has succeeded in making
Superior the metropolis that it
now is.
