made business dull.
The rain interfered considerably with attendance
at the special services at many OF the churches IN

and Catholic churches drew many wo=-hippers. In
St PauIs Chapel the servics beginning at
was conducted By the Rev. ". Montague Geer. In

are at death grips. but that two such nations
should be I'm existence as Russia and Japan. These
nations stand for the unfinished business OF the

GETTING on IN pzgEMA

Some critics OF the administrators policy
concerning Panama must be feeling nightly
sore AID disappointed. Things are going SO diff
ferentiy from the way they expected. We all
remember what a cackling chorus there was
q few moons ago over the prospect of inter
minable delay which the choristers thought
or at least thought they thought-they dis
cerned 'Our impetuous President" they Elee-
fully declared. IN his zeal to expedite matters
had really delayed II not entirely frustrated
them In the first place, there was certain to
be al tedious war with Colombia, which might
last for years and might last forever. Then
there was the probability, almost the certainty.
that the French courts would intervene and
prevent the transfer OF the existing works at
Panama TO the United States There would be
other obstacles, each more serious than the
Others. So that, instead OF getting the canal
started at once, President Roosevelt would be
uncommonly lucky il he saw it started before
the end Of his next term Of Office. And all be-
cause he had not learned how TO make haste
slowly.
There is no doubt that some Of these genial
rites did their best TO fulfil their prophecies
We have before Us documentary evidence there
Of. Il e leading Colombian paper we fnd
letter which was addressed TO President or
Vice President. MarroquIn- II was written By
somebody OF the name Of Smith. who had gone
10 Bogota from the United States. Smith
Sefor Smvth the Colombians called him-de-
clared that he wrote ION behalf Of the Demo
cratic press OF the United States" which he
had the honor 10 represent. BE assured Presi-
deat Marroquin that there prevailed in the
United States, with respect 20 the Panama mat
ter, "a great sentiment OF sympathy for Co
iorzbia," and that THE acts and attitude OF the
Roosevelt government n connection with the
movement OF secession I'm Panama were re-
'yarded with profound repugnance." So he so
rcited an exp sslon OF opinion from the Presi-
dent. 20 be addressed through Smith Ito the
democratic party CT the Cnited States and 70
s..he American people" In hope that Il would
..enable the American people 10 make 4 de-
session in favor OF Colombia" Precious stuff
that: but Il appears 10 have missed fire. We
have not heard OF Senor Marroquin's unbosorn-
ing himself to Smith. Of his pouring his tale OF
woe ,ntp Smiths capscious ears, or OF the
American peoples listening iDtently to Smiths
e1ucc,ed brsying. Nor has Colombia yet de-
clared war against the United States.
Other efforts to embarrass the American
government. far more respectable than this
Smiths have been made. They have been
made in vain. Appeals have been made to the
French courts 20 forbid, or at least 10 delay,
the transfer Of the canal works They have
been made In win. The French courts have

were TO oe expected OF them They have de-

favor Of the earnest constructors. Meantime,
the Canal Commission has been constituted, ar
rancements are being completed for prompt
payment Of the purchase price, and actual work
upon the canal under the direction and control
OF the American government is about to begin.
The Presidents policy has not run into an I'M
paEse. IT has not resulted in delay. 1t IS on
the contrary. attaining the very end at which
II aimed and for which it was designed-the
prompt construction Of an American canal I'M
