WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. G.
Is there a man in the United States
whose services to the government
would be worth salary of 100000
a year? If there is. he may get the
job of building the Panama canal.
President Roosevelt is looking for
little doubt congress will pass the
bill abolishing the present Panama
and turning the absolute
over to the President. Prob
ably President Roosevelt is the only
man We have had in the White House
IN many years who would be willing
to undertake such tremendous re-
sponsibil'ty as the carrying out of the
greatest engineering enterprise the
world has ever known. But Mr.. Roose-
velt is willing He is built that way.
He shrinks from nothing in which he
may be fservice to his country. He
ioes not enter upon this task light |
neartedly or without full appreciation
Of the enormous difficulties that lie |
IN his path These he knows as well as
any living man, perhaps better tnan
any other. The President has already |
mad trouble enough with canal boards |
md canal engineers and canal schem- |
ars to enable him to gain a most ade- |
luate idea of the proportions of the |
Job congress apparently intends to |
put upon him. 1t is no secret that mat |
ers are not going well on the 18TH |
mus at present and that President |
Roosevelt is dissatisfied with the |
Nor is 1t any secret that |
rs soon as the national legislature
places full power in his hands he in
tends to have a shaking up OF the |
Try bones and a reorganization of the |
whole business. II matters are not go.
ng right, 1t is the Presidents purpose
~ Hldhe lHtH go TlSnl OF KNOW tne |
'eason why. He wants action; he
wants progress; he wants to make
he dirt fly" Above all, he wants no
scandal. dare say the country will be
intensely interested In watching this |
Young and energetic President tackle |
sucn a big job-will be intensely in
terested in noting the methods and
he men he calls to his aid. II there
is living man who personifies the
American spirit of energy and OF
achievement and OF doing things"
in big way and with a firm hand, it
is President Roosevelt.
Evidence of this is found In the fact
that the President is already looking
for the man who is worth 100000 a
year. Mr.. Roosevelt believes that
where there is a great work to be
done there must be great man to do
II. He has the American instinct which
leads him TO put faith in the principle
that If the right man can be found
the methods and the movement will
como easily afterwards His instinct
