nary ability. integrity, and success with
which we have handled all the prob
lens inherited as the result OF the
Spanish war; the way we have ham
died ourselves in the Philippines, In
Cuba, in Porto Rico, in San Domingo,
and in Panama. The cruise of the bat
tie feet around the world was strtk-
ing proof that we had made good with
the navy; and what we have done at
Panama represents the accomplishment
of one OF the great feats of the ages.

We now have further duty to per-
form in connection with 1t, and that
is to fortify it. We are in honor bound
to fortfy 1t ourselves. and only by SO
doing can we effectively guarantee Its
neutrality, and, moreover, effectively
guarantee that 1t shall not be used
against us. The chief material advan-
tage--certainly one of the chief mate
rial advantages (which we shall gain
by it's construction is the way in which
1t will. for defensive purposes, double

to consider for moment such an act

tended markedly to promote peaceful
stability in international relations. No
nation regarded the cruise as fraught
with any menace of hostility to itself;
and yet every nation accepted 1t as a
proof that we were not only DESTROYS
ourselves to keep the peace, but able
to prevent the peace being broken at
our expense. No cruise In any way
approaching 1t has ever been made by
any fleet of any other power; and the
best naval opinion abroad had been
that no such feat was possible. that
is, that no such cruise as that we ac-
tually made could be undertaken by a
fleet of such size without !nnuinerable
breakdowns and accidents. The sue
cess Of the cruise, performed as 1t was
without single accident, dmmeasur-
ably raised the prestige, not only of
our fleet, but of our nation; and was a
distinct help to the cause of interna-
tional peace.

AS regards the Panama canal I really
think that outside nations have a Just
err idea than our own people of the
magnitude and success of the work. /

Omaha, Neb, Sept. Sin his prin-
ctpal address Of the day, delivered in
the auditorium here last evening, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt spoke as follows:
In travelling in Europe last spring
one thing which especially struck me
was the fact that the two feats which
made the deepest impression abroad
were the cruise of the battle feet
around the world, and the digging of
the Panama canal. These were the
two feats to be credited to the Ameri-
can people during the past decade,
which had most profoundly aud favor
ably affected foreign judgment of
America during that time. Such judg-
ment depends not in the least upoa
what people say they can do, but on
what they actually do; upon their
willingness to meet responsibilities, and
the success of their efforts to meet
them.
The Cruise of the Fleet.
Now, there is no use of nation
claiming to be a great nation unless
1t is prepared to play a great part. A
nation such as ours cannot possibly
play great part in international af-
fairs, cannot expect to be treated as
weight in either the Atlantic or the
Pacific, or to have its voice as to the
Monroe doctrine, or the management
of the Panama canal needed, unless
1t has strong and thoroughly eff
cient navy. Within the last decade the
American navy has been about trebled
In strength, and much more than treb-
led in efficiency, due to its extraordi-
nary progress in YnarkSmanSl1in and
maneuvering. So far from this increase
In naval strength representing on our
part either a menace of aggression to
weaker nations or a menace of war to
stronger nations, 1t has told most pow
erfully for peace. Everywhere in Eu-
rope the cruise of the battle fleet
around the world was accepted, not
only as an extraordinary feat, reflect
ing the highest honor upon our navy
but as one Of the movements which

Furnishing !
The Child
SPANKING or MORAL suAsloNs

A GAIN the oft discussed question is
being debated from one end of the
country to the other:
To spank or not TO spank the child?
Those who believe in physical pun
Ishment assert that 1t is the quickest
and best way of keeping the house in
order, while its opponents Indignantly
cry that it breaks the child's spirit and
reduces 1t TO the level Of slave.
The truth Is there are some children
who need to be spanked and others
who do not. The reasonable, sensitive
child must be governed by kindness or
not at all, Such children when punish~
ed severely hold it to heart and become
bitter or else broken spirited.
On the other hand there are needless:
.repeInous, bad tempered children who
when everything else has failed are III
candidates for the rod, and they should
have as big a dose of it as they need.
Moral suasion does not always work,
but 1t always should be tried.
Reason with your child, appeal TO its
better Judgment and good heart, give
sufficient reason for your commands
md then il the child out OF pure head
strong willfulness does his own way
spank and spank hard.
Never punish child who tells you CT
mischief he has done in the right spirit
Of repentance. This only makes snealSs
Ind liars. On the other hand, do not
tolerate for a moment deceit and lay
ng the blame on some one else.
Do not postpone punishment, and
once IT is over let all be forgotten and
he child have a chance to begin over
anew. Above all, do not let the conse-
auences of one day go over into the
next. Let the child begin the day In
the morning with the feeling that Ii Is,
Ike clean slate, waiting for him to
write upon 1t.

TwADDLE TO TEACHERS.
Gazette Times:
Pittsburg


Rouse, we slaves" style of address by
advocates of woman suffrage went out
of fashion several years ago with the
passing of the pioneers of the move
ment in this country, present day
speakers relying more upon logic than
appeals to feminine emotion and ex-
hortations to their hearers to cast off
the shackles that bind them and defy
the tyrant man. 1t is rather surpris-
ing, therefore, to find a speaker before
the Allegheny County Teachers in
suffrage oratory by informing his au-
ditors that they are slaves, but should
be rulers, and that "the same principles
for which men fought and died and
which brought on the war Of the revo-
luton are embodied in the demands for
suffrage now being made by the wom-
en- of America and England" The ora
tor declared that the 100000 public
school teachers of the country should
unite to compel the granting of suf-
frage to women and that they have the
power to rule the nation. You are a
great body of women and must take
your place in the world for the uplift
of our profession"
1t is coming to be more and more
recognized that the chief problem in
educational circles Is the raising of
the standard of efficiency among the
teachers. There is a general COM
plant that salaries are too low and
that until adequate compensation is
assured. men and women of the high
est attachments will not enter the pro-
fession, However that may be, there
is no doubt that the army of teachers
in America might be much better en-
ployed in some concerted endeavor to
Increase their efficiency by a compre-
hensive plan of reading and study and
thus elevate the standard of their pro-
fession than by trying to obtain the
opportunity to swell the ranks of the
, voters. IL the women teachers OF
America es a body, after all these
years, have not perceived the neces-
sity of uniting to try to secure the
ballot, 1t Is pretty safe to assume that
any advice to this effect is super
f1uous The spectacle OF man telling
women they are slaves and urging
them to go after their rights, Is al
ways decidedly incongruous and never
more so than when the audience is
composed of sensible, intelligent wom-
ell teachers with minds of their own.

Two Great Features.
The work has two great features.

waters OF the Chagres and other
streams into lake with an area of
164 square miles. This work is adj

The water which is ultimately to fill

concrete spillway in the center Of the
dam, the Chagres having been divert
ed from its bed and placed under COM

the dam has advanced sufficiently to

work of fits absolute stability and i'm

the lock is advancing so rapidly that
the first double-set at Gatun win be
completed this coming November, and
the engineer in charge has announced
that all the concrete in all the locks
will be In place two years hence. The
date OF final completion and formal
opening of the canal to the commerce
of the world win be determined by the
time consumed in placing the great
