WON BIG DITCH PEOPLE
PRESIDENT WELL LIKED.
Theodore p. Shonts Says He Took
Little Republic" by Storm.

That President Roosevelt won the hearts of
the people of the Panama Republic by his demo-
cratic spirit and straight-fronl-the-sh e-shoulder
talk and that the big ditch" was being dug
without any trouble among the employees. was
the declaration of Theodore P. ShOnts. chairman
Of the Canal Commission, who returned yester-
day to this country on the steamship Colon, of
the Panama Line. Mr.. Shonts was accompanied
by Richard F. Rogers general counsel; Admiral
Endicott, Major Phillips and c. F. Ripley. all
members Of the commission Mr.. Shonts de-
clared he was never more gratihed with the
progress of the work the canal than at pres
ent and that the Presidents visit had given not
only impetus to the work. but made the atti-
tude of the United States toward the little re-
public more clearly understood. The laboring
element, especially. glad to see the Presi-
dent he said
President Roosevelt simply took the people
of the little republic by storm" he said. The
setting aside by the President of all precedents
TO visit Panama him the respect and adj
miration Of all interested Mr.. Roosevelt was
familiar with the work from theoretical
standpoint prior to his visit but during his brief
stay he and inspected what was being done
and learned more than the average man could in
many months.
THE building OF the Panama Canal Is to the
President as the building of future home would
be to any other man. He looks upon it as his
own personal work Now that he has seen all
for himself. nobody nlislead him about con-
ditions or about the efforts being made to carry
out the work
Mr.. Shonts Their told little incident that oc-
Cured while the President was down there It
appears that the citizens of the republic have
been keeping themselves posted on the criticisms
pro and con of the work. They were ali familiar
with the Poultney Bigelow story.
"One of the leading citizens Mr. Shonts said.
''n brief talk with the President, asked him
ney Bigeow. whereupoa the President replied
quietly:
Small people like small hes. despoil large
things and large enterprises
TT was the Presidents speech at Colon how
ever that won the hearts of the canal workers.
A lasting impression was made when in the
course of his speech, the President declared
1.-The who now working the canal
and the citizens of Panama who assisting
them will go down to posterity like the veterans
of the Civil War When this great work is
peted the men who have been instrumental IN
it's success will look backward and say. II was
part of it," as do the veterans of the Civil War
on looking back to those tragic days
This did more to endear the President TO
Panama than any other thing. They speak
OF 1t at their work, at play and in their homes"
Speaking about the work itself, Mr.. Shonts
declared that it going on satisfactorily
everybody working every day. no labor troubles
and everybody content. Mr. Shonts went to
Washington last night. He will be present at
the reading of the Presidents message to Con-
