sees the futilty of them. His bill pro-

Senator Dolliver of Iowa is quoted as

and that should serve as a foundation
for future self government and ad-
vancement into the ranks of the free
and enlightened nations Of the earth.
This was a great and momentous
task for any man, however experienced,
to undertake. It was undertaken by a
circuit judge from Ohio.
Did that circuit judge make good his
undertaking?
His success stands today a monu-
ment to his sasacity, his wisdom and
his foresight.
Louder than any words the success
full results Of this great work speak to
the world, for not only did he succeed
in this his first great undertaking, but
he is also at this moment the man most
honored and best loved by the people
of the Philippine Islands.
y y
His latest achievement is the estab
Iishment of the canal zone and the or
ganization of the work of the Panama
canal, for to him, as secretary of war,
fell the ultimate responsibility for the
execution Of this vast project.
Here was an engineering feat so tre-
mendous that even De Lesseps, pro-
claimedly the greatest engineer of the
world, with France and the people-of
France behind him, failed to make even
an adequate beginning.
This ex-circuit judge, this ex-sov-
ernor Of the Philippines, undertook the
work.
Today the great task moves toward
completion, with an organization per-
fected by the man who shouldered the
burden.
Such are the facts.
Here lie the lives of these two men,
side by side, before you.
1t is yours to judge between them,
for one or the other of the men who
have lived these lives must soon be-
como president Of the United States.
One has added splendid success to
splendid success, establishing govern
ments, conducting delicate diplomatic
negotiations, erecting gigantic ensi-
neerine works for the lasting benefits
Of all the nations of the earth.
The other has eontented himself wftS
