But 1t is not easy to do as the present con-

that is, stern1y to disregard alike the f-nter

evils and the wild clamor OF those who care less
to do away with them to make reputation
with the minimizing Of standing In opposition
to them. But this is precisely what the present
congress has done. Instead Of enacting anti

important because those who enacted them into

:0pposition to- the Canal. :

The digging Of the Panama canal is the
colossal engineering feat of all the ages No
task as great Of the kind has ever been under
taken by any other nation. The interests band
ed together to oppose it were and are .nuIner-5
Gus and bitter, and most of them with q Pc
culiar1y Sinister basis for their opposition. This
sinister opposition rarely indeed ventures openly
to announce its antagcnis to the canal such.
Sometimes it takes the form of baseless accu-
satfons against the management and Of demand
for an investigation under circumstances which
would mean indefinite delay. Sometimes it takes
the form of determined opposition to the adop-
ton of plans which win enable the work to be
done, not merely In, the best, but in the quick
est, possible way.
Had congress been either timid or corrupt,
and had not the leaders Of congress shown the
most far-sighted- resolution in the matter, the
work OF building the canal would never have
been begun, If begun would now have halted
The opposition to the adoption of the treaty
by which our, right to build the Panama canal
was secured; part, at least, Of the opposition
even now being made to the ratification Of the
santo Domingo treaty, which is one more step
in the effort to make peaceful and secure the
waters thru which the route Of the canal leads;
the constant effort to delay prete1t or
another the actual work on the canal-aI prove
how essential IT. is that II the American people
desire the Panama canal to be built in speedy
and efficient fashion they should uphold the
hands Of those who In the present congress have
so effectively achampioned this work.

Wisdom Of Good Navy.


No less praiseworthy has been the attitude a
this congress in continuing to build and mat3>
tain on high plane of efficiency the United
States navy. !, This country is irreyocably COM
mttted. to the maintenance Of the Monroe doc
trine. It Is irreyocably committed to the prtn-
ciple Of defending and policing the canal route
But Its championship Of the Monroe doctrine
and its announcement of its Intentions to the
canal route would both be absurd on their face
If the nation failed to do its duty in maintain
ing thoroly efficient navy at as high point OF
perfection can possibly be attained.
Our external affairs are important, but our
internal affairs are even more important, and
no other congress for many long year has,
as regards the betterment Of our internal at
fairs, 30 much and such excellent work to its
credit The tremendous social and industrial
changes in our. nation have rendered evident the
need Of a larger exercise by, the national gov
eminent Of Its power to deal with the business
use Of, wealth. and especially Of corporate
wealth, in interstate business.
1T is not too much to say that the course Of
congress within, the last few years, and the
hearty agreement between the executive and
legislative departments Of the nation in taking
the needed action, each within its own sphere,
bave resulted in the nation for the first time
definitely entering upon the career Of proper
performance of duty IN these matters.

ROOSEVELTLETTERFULL
OF. NOTABLE SAYINGS
His Epistle to Indiana Congressman "Says What in
Characteristic Fashion with Regard to
Many Important Issues.

New York, Aug. 21.-President
Rooseyelt's notable letter to Congress
man J. E. Watson Of Indiana, digest
OF which: appeared in yesterdays dis
patches, is regarded as one Of the
strongest Of his characteristic utter
ances. The full text Of the letter is as
follows: s..1
Ny Dear Mr.. Watson L hear. thru Speaker
Cannon and Representative Sherman that you
have volunteered TO give your services to the
congressional committee for the entire campaign
without regard to the effect it may have upon
your canvass in your own district; and feel
like writing you word OF congratulation and
of earnest hope for the success of your efforts.
If there were only partizan issues involved in
this contest should hesitate to say nything
publicly tn reference thereto, But I do not
feel that such is the case. On the contrary,
feel that all good citizens who have the welfare
Of America at heart should appreciate the i'm
mense amount that has been accomplished by
the present congress, organized as It is, and
the urgent iced OF keeping this organization in
power. With Mr.. Cannon as speaker the house
has accomplished O. literally phenomenal amount
Of good work. It has shown a courage, good
sense and patriotism such that it would be real
and serious misfortune for the country to fail to
recognize.
Not Time to Change.
To change the leadership and organization Of
the house at this time means to bring confusion
upon tnOSe VINO nave Deen successfully engaged
In the steady working out of great and COM
prehensive scheme for our social, industrial and
civic conditions. Such change would substitute
a purposeless confusion, violent and hurtful
oscillation between the positions of the extreme
radicals and the extreme reactionaries for the
present orderly progress along the lines Of a
carefully thought-out policy.
The interests Of this nation are as varied as
they are vast. Congress must take account, not
of one national need but of many and widely
different national needs; and speak with his
toric accuracy when say that not in our time
has any other congress done we'll in SO many
different fields Of endeavor the present con-
gress has done. No congress can do everything.
Still less can it in one session meet every need.
At its first session the present congress- in
addition to the many tasks 1t actually complet-
ed, undertook several tasks which firmly be-
lieve it will bring to completion in its second
session next winter. Among these hope and
believe that the bills to prohibit political con-
tributions by corporations and to lower the
duties on imports from the Philippine islands,
each OF which has been passed by one house,
will be enacted into law.
