he also found $4,000 human beings In

bued with one spirit and intent ON one
end, that of carrying through this
greatest engineering feat of the cen
turtles to success. In the highest sense
of the term it was an army of peace,
working with perfect military disci-
pline to win battle with nature, and
behind it all was the quiet man who
would stay until he was told to quit.

At last it is settled. 1t is to be
~ lock canal. and there are TO be
no more changes of plans or un-
certainties. The enterprise is to
be pushed through with all possible
energy and speed. If there are fur
Their slips and sinkings In the Gatun
dam foundations they will be accepted
as a part of the days work, and opera
lions will proceed. If there are criti-
cisms at home or abroad they will be
allowed to pass as wind. and no more
attention will be paid to them. If the
cost springs up TO 100000, which
IT probably will, though the amount is
twice the original estimate. Uncle
Sam will be expected to dig down in
his pocket without even a wry face,
for what is little matter of expense
that II should stand in the way of
wedding the two oceans? a lock canal
IT is. and that Is all about 1t. Those Of
us who held different opinions may as
well swallow twice and prepare as
good Americans to cheer for the Off
cially adopted program. The lake. the
dam, the three levels and all the rest
of It for ours. Let Colonel "Vanilla-
Bean few windy congressman and
the "yellows" rave as they will. The
president, the president elect and the
engineers say that the lock type goes,
and the remainder of our 90,O00O00

himself, has a secret hope that the
first ship will go through by March 4.
1913. That sounds fine and may or
may not come true. We can only wait
and see In the meantime this much is
certain-that American efficiency, SAM
tation asd spirit have transformed
Panama and that the dirt is flying in
she big ditch. Sufficient unto the day
are the goods delivered thereby. De-
spite all natural obstacles and regard
less of the walls of the pessimists, the
Panama canal will be built, and the
builder win be your Uncle Sam. That
will be glory enough for US all
/ The More Slides the Better.
ItNwas that slip in the Gatun dam
foundations which caused the trouble
and sent Taft scurrying down there. to
see what it was all about. Arriving
on the scene, he found the imperturba-
BILE Goethals and his army of. helpers
shoveling out landscape and blowing
up mountain ranges as though nothing
had happened What was little slip
and squashing of mud to them? They
had had four or FIVE such slides before
and expected others in future. The
more the better. They would only
make the dam foundations the more
solid. So Taft and his engineers went
back to the States in a gale Of OPP
timism. Everything is right and tight
at Panama, they reported, and will
you please stop setting back fires
Join the boosters brigade and quit
knocking. Goethals is digging dirt,
Uncle Sam is digging COIN. and the
walters should dig for cover. Anybody
that opposes the lock type is ''agin
the government" and an obstruction
on the face Of the universe generally.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-03-10

is the official verdict, and it gets my
vote. Roosevelt has said it, Taft has
said it, and that settles it. The lock
type forever. Hoo-ray!
AS for Panama itself, or "the strip"
to be more orecise, it has begun to
look like a section of Gods own coun-
try. 1t has had its face washed and its
hair combed. Its chief products are no
longer dirt, disease, "greasers" and
revolutions. The Yankee flag, the Yam
kee DOCTOR the Yankee schoolma'am
and the Yankee broom have made it q
place fit for the habitation Of man. In
place of the musical stegomyia and
anopheles, each with its burden of vel
low fever or malaria. there are now
heard the chug of the American loco
motive, the voices of school children
and the tapping Of the stars and
stripes. The swamps are drained, the
jungles cleared, the streets cleaned,
and the people occasionally take a
bath.
Almost a Law Made Paradise.
Throughout the entire strip Bella
my's Looking Backward" is re-
allied dream. The government is the
whole thing. 1t runs the railroads, the
stores, the doctors, the houses, the
sanitation, the dredges, the steam
shovels, the bakeshops, the pie coun-
tiers, the wash ladies and everything
except the saloons, which it runs out.
Bellamy's coupon system is even in
vogue, these coupons being as good az
the currency of the realm at the gov
eminent stores. To cap all. Bellarny's
military system for civil life. his army
of workers and all the rest are in full
force. The combination would make a
man rub his eyes and fancy that be

Be good. Everything is over at Pana-
ma except putting up the money and
sailing the ships. People who insist on
getting windy and advertising them
selves at the expense of the canal will
be severely ignored or if they grow
too noisy will be sent to Jail. AS for
the ditch itself. it is as good as finish
ed. So there you are.
Speaking privately, I know nothing
against the Panama canal program,
desire to know nothing against the
Panama canal program. and if did
know anything against the Panama
canal program l would not tell it.

over, the lock type is good enough for

An Old Idea.

Macaulay was not the first man to
frame the famous image of the man
Of a new civilization standing amid
the ruins of that which we know to-
day. Long before he wrote of his;
traveller from, New Zealand meditat-
ing upon London bridge Mrs. Barbauld
had used the same image. with the diff.
ference that she applied 1t to Black
friars bridge. An earlier reviewer had
used 1t in an article published in 1867
we are told by an English commenta-
tor, and Horace Walpole says in one
Of his letters, AT last some curious
traveller from Lima will visit England
and give a description of the ruinssot
