PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Here IN Florida. the first OF the gull
states which / have visited upon this
trip ! wish TO say a special word about
the Panama canal ] believe that tho
canal VIII be of great benefit to all our
people. but most Of all 20 the states Of
the south Atlantic, the gulf and the
Pacific slope. When completed the ca
nal viii stand as monument to this
nation. for II will be the greatest eng
neerlng feat ever yet accomplished la
the world II win be good thing for
the world az whole. and for the peo-
pie OF the Rthmus ana Of the northern
portions of South America in particu-
lar Because Of our especial interest
IN IT, and because Of the position We oc-
cupy on this hemisphere, II 81 a mat
ter Of special pride to us that our ma
tlon, the American nation, should havs
undertaken the performance OF this
world duty, A body OF the most emil
nent engineers IN the world, both Amer
leans and foreigners, has been sum
monAd to advise as to the exact type Of
canal which should be built. At no dis
tant date | hope to be able 10 announce
what their advice Is, and also the ac-
ton taken upon their advice
WORK WELL UNDER WAY.
Meanwhile the work Is already well
under way, and has advanced sufficient
ly far 10 enable me to announce with
certainty that IL can surely be accom-
plished and probably at rather less eK-
pense than was anticipated But upon
the last point as well as upon the ques-
ton of time, no positive statement can
he made until the report Of the commits
sicu OF engineers as to the exact type
of canal has been received The worlc
Is rs difficult az II Is Important; and
IL is Of course inevitable that from
time to time difficulties will occur and
checks be encountered. Whenever such
IS the case the men Of little faith ae
home win lose that little faith, and thu
critics who confound hysteria with
emphasis will act after their
kind. But our people as a whole pos
seFs not only faith but resolution, and
arc Of too ylril0 fiber TO be swept ons
way or tho other by mere sensational
ism. No check that may come viii be
OF more than trivial and passing con-
sequence. will iuhlCt any permanent
damage, or cause any serious delay.
. iIF WI n q all wv hNAlff - hFillh AAllNs
ana viii be done, What has already
been accomplished IS a guaranty as to
the future.
ADVENTURES FLOCK THERE.
When any such work is undertaken
there are always many mere adveu~
turery who flock 10 where &c Is going
on, ana many men who think they are
edvcnturers, but who are IN reality
either weak or tlmt, follow In their
footsteps Some Of tho first class VIII
now and then cause trouble IN ono
way or another. But every care viii DO
taku to detect any mlsdeed on their
part ana n punish them as soon az tho
misdoed is detected. As for the seoa
ond class they viii cause trouble chief
~ by losing heart returning home. or
writing home and raising n cry that
they are not happy and that the con-
dltions Of HE are not easy. or that tho
work Ia not being done az they thinks
Il ought TO be dono
sTRAGGLERS IN THE REAR.
Now these men stand just as tho
stIaggiers and laggards stand who AFRO
ever % be- found iu the rear OF even
victorious army The veterans Of the
civil war who are here present win tell
YOU that the very rear Of an army
even when Il ia victorious, Is apt TO
look and behave "a II the victory were
defeat And just the same thing is
true An any great enterprise in ciYl
NE. there are always weakiuEs who
Eet trgmpled down 1r lose heart and
there are always people who listen ~
their Compl aiuts They amount TO
nothing one way or the other po Oar, as
achieving results rs concerned; and
their complaints and outcrgs need
never defam US.
