suppose that your father doesn't go

But he isn't sure that there is not
God or heaven, where angels are.
He, says there may be or there may
not be-he doesn't know. That makes
him an agnostic. If he said he did
not believe in God, then he would be
an infidel. But he doesn't go that
far. He just confesses that he does
not know: Now. do you understand
what an agDostic is?"
YES" Freddy answered, land I
know what ma is, too"
What is she. Freddy?"
well, from the way ma goes on all

FEAR THAT A COMPETING AND
INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY
MAY BE SET UP.
TAFT WILL REASSURE THEM
WILL EXPLAIN TO OFFICIALS
THE PLANS OF THE
GOVERNMENT.

Washington, Oct. q. : President
Roosevelt has sent a letter to Secre-
tary of War Taft instructing him to
make a personal visit to the isthmus
of Panama to confer with the presi-
dent and officials Of the Panama re-
public regarding questions arising
out of the United States possession
Of the canal zone. ~. na.. :. .t
The president in his letter points
ouA that there is ground for believing
that in the execution of the rights
conferred by the treaty the people of
Panama have been unduly alarmed at
the effect Of the establishment of z
government in the canal strip by the
commission. Apparently they fear
lest the effect be to create out of part
of their territory a competing and in
dependent community which shall in
juriously affect their business, reduce
their revenues and diminish their
prestige as a nation.
The United States is about to con-
fer on the people of the State of Pan.
anna very great benefit by the
Expenditure Of Millions
Of dollars in the construction Of the
canal. But this fact must not blind
us to the Importance of SO exercising
the authority given us under tho
treaty with Panama as to avoid Gre
ating any suspicion, however unfound-
ed, of our intention as to the future.
We have not the slightest intention of
establishing an independent colony in
the middle of the State of Panama, or
of exercising and greater govern
mental functions than are necessary
to enable us conveniently and safely
to construct, maintain and operate the
canal under the rights given us by
the treaty. Least of all we do not de-
sire to interfere with the business
and prosperity of the people of Pan
ANA.
The president concludes:
1T is of the utmost Importance
that those who are ultimately respon-
sible for the policy pursued should
have at first hand as
Trustworthy information
as can be obtained in respect to the
conditions existing in Panama and
the attitude and real interest of the
people of that state. After confer
ence with the secretary of state and
yourself, l have concluded that it will
be of great advantage if you can visit
the Isthmus of Panama in person and
hold a conference with the president
and other governmental authorities Of
the republic of Panama. You are au.
thorized in doing this to- take with
you such persons as you desire, famil-
lar with the conditions in the isthmus,
who may aid you with their counsel.
The earlier you are able to make this
visit the better"
1t is impossible to say exactly when
the secretary of war can leave for
Panama, but probably on Nov. IA.
