PANAMA INCIDENT MOST DISGRACEFUL
EPISODE IN ANNALS OF AMERICA.
Accuses Roosevelt of Open Defiance.

Houston, Tex Jan. 10.--The Houston Post today
prints lengthy statement from Senator c. A. Culberson,
in which he gives the why he is opposed to the
Panama Canal treaty Among other things he says:
Under the Spooner law. inspired by the admnistra-
tion the President should proceed with
with Nicaragua for the construction of the canal Its pro-
visions mandatory and defiance of law should
be sanctioned and condoned in the President than any
other officer
'NThe Presideht made effort whatever to comply
with the law to the Nicaraguan matter On the ICON
trary he waited from August until November for revolt
in Panama action by this Government looking actual
seizure of the canal strip by without authority There
be misunderstanding this point for the President
frankly it in his message
"For the first time in the history of constitutional gov
erument the President Of free people boldly procaims
the kugy dogma of International eminent domain and
his purpose propose the seure of territory of
Colombia without its consent.
The claim that the of the administration in send
Jog naval vessels and landing marines to protect the
transit onys shown to be utterly false by the fact
that November before the revolution, Admiral Glass
was ordered prevent landing of the Colombian forces
any point within fifty miles of Panama.
I'VE occupy the position of having joined with
Panama in taking orcby from Colombia the sovereignty
and property of the territory which obligated ourselves
to defend in Colombia against all foreign states
Under such circumstances vote to ratfy the treaty
is vote to approve the most dsgracefn diplomatic cpl
sode in all the annals of America.

"Roman architecture with an
American feeling" is the way
Isaac S Taylor, architect OF
the Missouri State Building at
the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition, describes the style of
architecture OF that structure.
Missouri's building consists of
three monumental masses con
nected by balconied links; the
center mass, dome-crowned and
towering, profusely decorated
with sculpture. The dome, a.
perfect hemisphere, unembel-
ished by a single RIB or mould
ing, is to be gilded and crown
ed by Winged Victory. A
beautiful colonade of coupled
CorintLlan columns, each couple
of columns crowned with a
seated figure, will surround the
dome. This construction will
surmount the central mass, at
each corner Of which will be a
gigantic sculptured group sym
bo,ical of the arts of peace:
Music, Literature, Art and
Architecture
The building is to be 3l2 fee t
long and 100 feet wide. 1t will
be completely surrounded on
two floors by balconies and
porches which will supply an
interrupted promenade3 about
the building at two levels, one
80 feet above the other, and
will furnish a view of the Ex-
position from all sides. AS the
building stands ON an elevation
behind the Government build
ing d spectator ON the balconies
will obtain fine view of the
maiu picture of the Fair. A
similar promenade, 10 feet wide
will surround the dome at its
base, 13O feet above the Expo
sition grounds
A monumental stairway, 45
feet wide, in four terraced flights
continuing the axis of the Gov
ernment building, will lead up
to the main entrance OF the
Missouri building. On either
side of this entrance will be
large single figures allegorica
of Beauty and Strength. Or
the attic of the entrance will bt
the word Missouri fanked by
the coat of arms of the state
quartered shield supported b!
two bears with the motto ''Sa lu

The visitor entering the build
ing will find himself in a gigan

fountain in the center of this
rotunda will squirt water arti-
ticially cooled which will cool
the surrounding spaces to an
agreeable temperature on the
hottest day. At a semi-circular
desk at one end of the rotunda
the host of the Missouri build
ing will be always waiting like
a clerk IN a hotel to welcome
the visitor. Passing through
through the rotunda the visitor
will reach the Hall of State in
a wing at the southern side of
the building. This auditorium
will be so by IS feet exclusive
of the rostrum, and 40 feet high
with seating accommodation for
nearly 1000 persons. The cell
ing will be heavily cotfered and
there, as we'll as on the paneled
walls. the mural decorate or will
exercise his skill. It is to be
used for lectures, dances and as
an assembly room for such sta te
and local societies as may meet
IN st. Louis during the World 5
Fair period. Under the rostrum
will be the refrigerating plan
and kitchen.
The masses which flank the
central mass will contain ex-
hibit halls extending from floor
to ceiling with an observation
gallery surrounding them on
four sides These halls, whic b
contain 5000 square feet of floor
space, will be tup.lighted. The
western one will show the
building resources OF Missouri
woods, stones, Clays, etc. The
eastern exhibit ro IN will show
the general resources of the
state massed as they cannot be
massed in,the big exhibit build,
ings.
The balconies are arranged sc
that the visitor in making the
circuit of the building will be
obliged to pass through the ex
hibit halls and see something a
least of the treasures they con
tain.
The Governors suite will b,

rooms in the western connecting
link. They will be finished il

DEvISES A NEW MEDAL.
General STAFF Gets Up Substitute for
the Old Form Which Has Been
Copied So Generally.

A new design for government med
al OF honor has been adopted. 1t Is
to take the place Of the old medal
which has been copied so generally by
outside military and social organiza-
tons. The emblem Of the Grand Army
is said to be an almost exact duplicate
of the old medal CT honor. The new
design is the work of the general staff,
and is said 10 be entirely satisfactory
10 the limited number Of people who
have seen it.
Congress made IN appropriation OF
$4,000 at the last session for the man
ufacture OF new lot Of medals which
are to be issued to replace those now
out. provided the soldiers desire to ex-
change them. General Gillespie, for
merly chief Of engineers. has been
the leader in the movement to adopt
q new design for the medal Of honor.
Bids have been asked from a num-
Der of manufacturers on the cost Of
furnishing large number of the med
ais, and the proposals will be opened at
the war department shortly. The new
medal, which is to be made from light
gun metal. is distinct departure from
the old pattern.

AS EASY.
Needs Only G. Little Thinking.

The food Of childhood often decides
whether one is to grow up well nour-
ished and healthy or weak and sickiy
from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the 9TH
er, provided we get proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can &C
complish wonders, provided the patient
ls willing to help and will eat only
proper food.
Speaking Of this case the Mother said
her little four-year-old boy was suffer-
ing from q peculiar arrangement OF the
stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet
became so swollen he couldn't take a
step. I'VE called Doctor who said
at once we must be very careful as to
his diet, as improper food Gas the
only cause OF his sickness. Sugar espe-
cially, he forbid.
$50 the DR.. made up diet and the
principal food he prescribed was Grape
Nuts and the boy, who was very fond
Of sweet things, took the Grape-Nuts
readily without adding any sugar. (Dr.
explained that the sweet in Grape-Nuts
is not at all like cane or beet sugar
but is the natural sweet Of the grains.)
I'VE saw big improvement inside a
few days and now Grape-Nuts are al
most his only food and he is once more

The sweet In Grape-Nuts is the Ma
