LIFTING THE LID IN PANAMA

Where the ISLANDERS are of for
eign origin ] have no concern
with them. Where they are
Americans, ! feel for them the
heartiest contempt and indigna-
tion; because, in a spirit of wan
ton dishonesty and malice. they
are trying 10 interfere with, and
hamper the execution of. the
greatest work of the kind ever
attempted, and are seeking TO
bring 10 naugnt the efforts of
their countrymen to put TO the
credit of America one of the
giant feats of the ages. The ont
rageous accusations of these
slanderers constitute ii gross
libel upon body Of public
servants who, for trained iutelli-
gence. expert ability, high char
acter, and devotion to duty. have
never been eXcelled anywhere.
There is not Il man among those
directing the work ON the 18TH
mus who has obtained his posi-
tion ON an other basis than merit
alone, and not one who has used
his position in any way for his
own personal or pecuniary adj
vantage From the Presidents
