 StupenElsus Achievement.
 This is r sfupendous record of achfevefnent. E As a people we are rather fond Of critieising ourselves and somstimass with very great jus tice, but even the most pessimistic crit ic should sorkAti1 i1aas think of what is to our credit Among our. assets of the past ten yeaTs will be placed the ex- traordinary aBiIsty. sintssrity and sue cess with whieh .we have handled all the probsans itedF as the result of the Spanish waE gthe way we have handled ourpelves1h the Philippines, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in San Domingo and in Pa1aaMa.
 The cruise. ofg the battle fleet around the wpElu was a striking proof that we had made good with the navy, and what we have done at Panama repre- sents the accomplishment of one of the great feats of the ages. It is a feat which reflects the highest honor upon our country. and our gratitude is due to every nan who has taken an hon orabIe part in any capacity in bring ing about it's performance.
 Fortify the Canal.
 We now have a further duty to per form in connection with it. and that is to fortify it We are in honor bound to fortify it ourselves, and only by so doing can we effectively guarantee its neutrality and, moreover, effectively guarantee that it shall not be used against us.
 The chief material advantage-cer- tafnly one of the chief material advan- tages-whieh we shall gain by its con struction is the. way in which it will for defensive purposes double the pow CT of the United States navy.
 To refuse to Hortify it and, above all, to consider for a moment such an act of utter weakness and folly as to in v1te other nations to step in and guar antee the neutrality of this purely American work (and thereby really to make it certain that in the event of war we should find the canal used against us. as our fleets would be for bidden to pass through it or else our opponents fleets permitted to) would be to incur. and quite rightfully, the contempt of the world It would mean the complete abandonment of the Mon roe doctrine. it would be a wicked blow to our prestige on the Pacific and, moreover. it would be in its es- sence treason to the destiny of the re- public.
