The annual cost of sanitation on
the Panama Canal Zone is, approx
imate1y, $2,000,000, and since this
government took over the project
the entire cost amounts to S., 307, 900,
for sanitation alone. While this
sum seems large one, no one now
doubts that it is wholly legitimate
and absolutely necessary expendi-
ture. Col. Goethals has recently
cited the possibility of an outbreak
of yellow fever as one of the e1e-
ments that may greatly increase the
cost of canal construction and such
an outbreak would SO completely
demoralize the force of workmen on
the zone that the work of reorgani-
cation would have to be practically
done over again. Sanitation, there
fore, not only contributes to the
ultimate success of the canal enter
prise by reducing the probability of
a serious epidemic of disease to a
minimum, but it also contributes to
the reduction of it's possible total
cost.

The President, at the suggestion

The President, at the suggestion
of William Dudley Foulke, has
written a letter which completely
refutes the charges banded about
in anti-administration circles that
he was using federal patronage to
promote the nomination of Secretary
Taft. In his opening paragraph,
Mr.. Roosevelt says that the charges
are not only false and malicious,
but that it is "the kind of accusa-
ton which for the next few months
will be rife" and that when this
particular SANDER is exploded those
who have used it will promptly in
vent another" For that reason,
while yielding to Mr.. Foulke's re-
quest that he write the letter, Mr..
Roosevelt seriously questions the
advisability of SO doing, and he is
right. Theodore Roosevelt has
been President of the United States
for six years. His record is an open
book before the American people.
Those who believe in and trust in
him ard their name is legion will
not be 1nisled by the campaign lies
which are being and will continue
to be circulated about him between
now and next November, particular
ly between now and the Republican
national convention, in June. The
issue is sharply defined. The Harri-
mans, the Standard Oil people,
certain railroad interests all of whom
Mr.. Roosevelt has branded as un-
desirable citizens, and whose monop-
olistic enterprises the President
has checked, are spending incalcu'
liable sums of money to prevent
continuation Of his policies and tC
secure the nomination by the Re
publican party Of some man who, 1t
not in sympathy with them, will al
least be so far indebted to them for
his nomination that he will not be
| free to utilize the machinery of the
courts against them. The anti-ad
ministration forces cannot attack
the President with the truth anc
thew are forced to employ falsehoot
to discredit him and to defeat the
nomination of the one candidate
who if nominated. will owe nothing
to the interests. Will the American
| people be misled by these false
hoods? President Roosevelt does no
believe that they will and no mar
knows the people of this country
better.

by many to be the best Poland-China

Cuba must do everything neces-
sary to make her cities sanitary.
This is the decision of the President,
Secretary Root and Secretary Taft.
The issue grew out of a contract
for sewering and paving the city of
Havana which the Cubans wish to
repudiate because of the expense,
but the administration in Washing
ton has decided that the terms of
the contract must be carried out.
For a time there will doubtless be
much muttering and discomfort in
Cuba, particularly in Havana, but
we venture the prediction that no
one will be more grateful to the adj
ministration, once the work is done,
than the people who complain most
loudly now The history of Ameri-
can occupation of foreign lands has
been a history of cleanliness. Ameri-
cans have cleaned Manila and made
it healthful, beautiful city, and
the protests of the people have
turned to praise. Americans have
changed tie Panama Canal Zone
and the chief cities of Panama from
pest-ho1es to hea1thfu1, clearly cities
and Panama is reaping a rich re-
ward. The absolute sanitation of
Cuba will make for the wealth and
D .~osperity of the Republic and the
money so expended will be returned
