RECENT HEAD OF THE PANAMA
CANAL COMMISSION PRIDES
HIMSELF ON THE FOUNDATION
HE HAS LAID.
tPublishers' Prs.s.1

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Theo-
dore p Shonts, who until Wednesday
was chairman of the Isthmian canal
commission, delivered memorable
speech before the Knife-and-Fork club
this evening, relative to the excava-
ton of this commercial highway. the
most stependuous task of modern
times. Snyoptically he said:
You are aware that any great en-
terprise in divided into two stages,
the creative period and the period of
actual operation. BY the creative per-
iod l mean that of preparatory work.
The present commission, during its
first visit to the Isthmus in July, 1905.
decided that considerable period
must be devoted to preparation before
the actual work of canal construction
could be carried forward. The SAM
tation of the Isthmus must be accom-
plished; quarters must be erected for
employees and an adequate and whole
some food and water supply provided.
A plant must be assembled with
which to do the work of construction
and a railway system built.
1.-The preparatory work is virtually
completed, and l wish you to bear in
mind that what has been done during
the creative period was done while
working 1000 miles from base of sup
plies, in a country that was literally
destitute of everything we needed.
Every piece of machinery had to be
set up in this country, taken apart and
transported by sea and then set up
again before it could be put into use.
In this preliminary work we have
spent about $27 100000.
Sanitation Now Satisfactory.
''In regard to the success of our san
itary work, President Roosevelt says
in his special message to congress
written after his personal inspection
on the Isthmus, that the results have
been astounding and that the condi-
tions as regards sickness and the
death rate compare favorably with re-
asonably healthy localities in the Uni
ted States.
LAS l said to you in the opening part
of my address, the work of actual ex-
cavation during the creative period
was restricted to merely preparatory
lines. Still something has been done
in the direction of making the dirt
fly" During the fiscal year ending
with June last 100000 cubic yards
were taken from the canal prism
against $4,000 yards removed during
the previous year.
With the broad policies which we
planned carried into operation, the
creative period has come to an end.
and the period of actual construction
has begun. AS to the manner in which
the creative task has been performed
we are content to let the facts speak
for themselves. You will not misunder-
stand me, / am sure, if l cite one tri-
butte. as gratifying as it is just, to
those associates and agents of the
whose answering loyalty
and untiring zeal have made the re-
suits achieved possible. After person
al inspection of the field, President |
Roosevelt said in his message: THE |
wisdom of the canal management has |
been shown in nothing more clearly |
than in the way in which the founda- |
lions have been laid

in Indiana, is this true? For example
in what monthly magazine can you
find four articles by Mr.. Dooley, (E.

or eight articles by two of the most
famous humorists of the day. as you
do in the Sunday issues of one month
in the Indianapolis Star, and with the
magazine section you get the latest
news of the entire world.
Mr.. Dooley's views on public ques-
tons form bright feature in the
Sunday Star. They are sane and SEN
sible and yet mis- Irish humor puts
laugh in every line. For next Sun
