anese for friendship of America is
not founded upon opportunjsm, but
finds its source in a sincere wish to
show that such friendship at least
on the part of Japan has existed al
ways and that this visit of the fleet
has merely afforded the japanese an
opportunity for the expression of
that feeling. There can be no doubt
that the simultaneous visits of the
American exposition commissioners,
the Pacific coast business men and
the Atlantic fleet are a part of an
organized plan of the Japanese to
finally wipe out all misunderstand-
ings between Japan and America and
to give the visiting Americans an in
sight into the real attitude of Japan
toward the United States.

ThroughtfuI About Labor.

Mr.. Tafts chief concern has been the
proper care Of the laboring man on the
isthmus. Under his patient and APP
proved methods the terrible scourge
of yellow fever, against which the
French; struggled in vain, the filthy and
pest1ltree9ing state of the principal
fPslDmnian towns, the rough labor
feaflps and other pioneer hardships of
the two first eras, have been eliminated.
He has accomplished these things
through the activity of the Department
of Sanitation, the Department Of Mu-
nicipaI Engineering and the Building
Department. To-day we find yellow
fever driven from the isthmus. the
deadly stegomyia mosquito thus rem
dered innocuous, malaria and pneu-
monia greatly reduced and high
average of health prevailing.

Secretary.

The Panama Canal Is one Of the
greatest achievements Of any Repub-
lican administration.
AS Secretary Of War, Hon. William
Fl. Taft personally assumed the respon-
sibility Of inaugurating the work and
Systematically shaping up the practical
operations until a degree of efficiency
has been reached that may well as
tonish the nations of the earth.
Mr.. Taft has applied to this world
project and history making enterprise
those same qualities Of careful, thought
full investigation, penetrating judgment
and absolutely fair dealing, which have
made him so signally successful in the
performance of all those duties Of state
which have brought him to the high
eminence he now occupies as one of our
greatest living Americans.
Must Know Personally.
Like the Philippine project and other
great work laid upon him, he has
studied the situation at Panama at
close range and trusted to no second
hand information with which to in
sure his success. There has been about
ninety million dollars expended on the
work to date and Mr.. Taft has had to
approve every dollar OF this expendi-
ture. He has not been satisfied with
single visit to the isthmus, but has
made the long journey every year so
that he might direct the work more
economically. The result is that ne has
changed the situation there from an n.
hospitable region to a locality where
Americans can live in healthful Sc
curity without the fear Of plaques or
dread Of contagious diseases. The rate
of mortality on the isthmhs is about
the same as it is in our American cities.
