tage to the Advancement of the ca
nal PROJECT and consequently to the
United States. Pres dent Roose-
volts vis t proved a decided stimu-
lus 20 the work; the three visits
which Mr.. Taft has made as secre-
tary OF war were all OF advantage;
there are constantly arising and ac-
cumulating many minor tanElss OF
administration and conf ct OF au-
thority which The presence OF tha
president or the pres dent-elect
might make possible of elimination
with little difficulty.
Mr.. Taft feels that this is practi-
caliy his only opportunity to Wis I
the isthmus during his Forthcoming
term as president. He has not only
a keen interest in The work, but an
intimate knowledge OF the details OF
the situation and with the personnel
OF those conducting the operations
there.
The visit which he Is decidedly In
clined to make would put him in d.
r-ct personal contact witt the st
uat,on and would give him clear
and up-to-date ideas of the metho ]
OF procedure being employed in the
prosecution OF the work.

The journey, II made, would up-
doubtedly be on one Of the navy's
best ships, and Mrs. Taft, who made
the first visit 20 Panama with Mr..
Taft four years ago. would, without
doubt, accompany him tn time.
The only objection to the expedition
which has been pointed out by care
full students OF the laws and coz
stitution is that pending the official
declaration Of Mr. Taft as president
elect, by the action OF the electoral
college and his Inauguration as
president, there is no constitutional
or legal provision for the substitu-
ton of any one else in the event
OF anything happening 20 him in
Panama.
This objection Is not regarded as
OF sufficient weight to detain Mr.
Taft frog journey which is regard
ed as essential to the success of one
OF the big enterprises OF his admin
istration.
