He HAS THE POWER.

which would have been technically de-
| feasible, which would have prevented
criticism of the kind that has been
made and would have left the United
States no nearer building the canal at
this moment than it had been for the
preceding half century. If I had OBJ
served a judicial inactivity about what
was going on at the isthmus, had let
things take their course and had sub
mitted an elaborate report thereon to
congress 1 would have furnished the
opportunity for much mastery debate
| in congress which would now be go
ing on, and the canal would still be
fifty years in the future
Interests of People Only
THE interests of the American peo-
pie demanded that 1 should act just
exactly as l did act, and would nave
taken the action I actually did take
even though I had been certain that
to do so meant my prompt retirement
from public life at the next election;
for the only thing which makes it
worth while to hold a big office is TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities the
office offers to do some big thing that
ought to be done and is worth doing. "
No Need to Stir Up Revolution.
Concerning the opposition of Colon
bia, Mr.. Roosevelt says;
II felt very strongly that the posi-
ton that the one-time Secretary CT
State Cass had taken nearly fifty years
before was the proper position and
that the United States would be dere-
lict in its duty if 1t permitted Colombia
to prevent the building of the Panama
canal 1 was prepared, If necessary, to
submit to congress recommendation
that we should proceed with the work
in spite of COlOmbia'S opposition and
indeed had prepared a rough draft or
a message to that effect when events
on the Isthmus took such shape as to
change the problem
There was no need of any outsider
to excite revolution in Panama. There
were dozens of leaders on the Isthmus
already doing their best to excite revo-
luton 1t was not a case Of lighting
a fuse that would fire a mine-there
were dozens of such fuses being lit all
the time; it was simply a case of its
eeasing to be the duty of the United
States to stamp on these fuses, or
longer to act in the interest of those
who had become the open and mal1g-
nant foes of the United States and of
civilization and of the world at -arge-
1--WE recognized the republic OF Pan
anna. In consequence Panama has for
eight years enjoyed a degree Of peace
and prosperity which it had never be-
fore enjoyed during its four centuries
of troubled existence
BE it remembered that unless I had
acted exactly as I did act there would
now be no Panama canal. 1t is folly
to assert devotion to an end ana at
the same time to condemn the only
means by which the end can be
achieved. Every man who has at any
ton actually taken in acquiring the
right to dig the canal has really been
the opponent of every effort that could
ever have been made to dig the canal

JAPANESE FEATURES
OF NEW HANDBAGS

The japanese touch is seen In many
line, Of dress and furnishing, and one of
the latest is in the handbags. Large fab
ric bags are richly embroidered in Japa-
nese designs, some showing landscapes or
the swooping birds beloved Of Japanese
artists, and some being in an unusual
style Of embroidery that closely resem-
bles velvet brocading.
Real brocade velvet Is also seen In the
bags, and very effective 1t is. especially
when the bag is carried as an adjunct to
a plain or brocaded velvet costume.
For those who prefer black to these
brilliant styles, the all-over soutaching in
silk on taffeta will make an appeal. and
so will the bags in the soft new Persian
cloth, which can scarcely be distinguished
from fur.
In opera bags there seems to be a fad at
the present moment for very gaudy ef-
fects. Plain beading is not gay enough,
and SO the manufacturers have resorted
to the cleaning Jingle shells. tinting
them in all kinds Of pretty light colors.
or using them in their natural pearly
tones, and combining them with lattice
work Of beads, which allows glimpses of
colored silk beneath Spangles are also
high In favor for all-over work on the
mounted bags

decked with a prim little bow at the
front, and along the upper edge there is
an outstanding frin Of soft cream lace.
Very dark blue Is exploited more than
usual in the costume blouse, and there
are a good many Of these made of dark
blue chiffon trimmed with drak blue vel
vet or satin, and made over g. foundation
of white A pretty model is composed OF
dark blue chiffon and satin. The latter
material is set in the form Of a bolero
which rounds at the corners toward the
belt, leaving q wide space at the front,
where appears chiffon, tucked crossw1se.
The joining of the satin and chiffon is
hidden by rows of small passementerie
buttons thickly set together. The cuffs
are Of the satin, the part between the
cuff and shoulder line being made Of the
tucked chiffon. Directly at the front of
the blouse Is a shaped piece Of the satin,
the point extending up to the bust line.
The neck is finished with fat collar of
lace.
Many black and white models have
been introduced for wear with the mod
ish black costumes, and some of them
are extremely smart. One good model is
of balck chiffon trimmed with touches
Of velvet and black chantilly lace. This
blouse was designed to be worn with
coat and skirt costume Of black velvet.
The velvet IS introduced at the lower
part Of the bodice, in tucks extending up
over the shoulder and at the lower part
of the three-quarter length sleeve.
Touches OF black velvet also appear

PERSIAN CLOTH USED
AS FUR SUBSTITUTE

Ordinarily fur substitutes are the sad
dest-looking things In creation. They fool
no one. even blind person. for appear
ance and texture reveal the fact Of their
imitation. There Is one new material on
the market, however, which is q really
fine and attractive substitute for Persian
lamb. 1t is called Persian cloth and 1t Is
woven with a soft. woolly, curly surface
that exactly resembles the fur. It Is
warm and supple and pleasing in every
way and is said to have good wearing
qualities. Its price is by no means small,
but. Of course, it does not approach the
price of fine Persian lamb.
Mole and ermine are good combine
ton, it has been found recently. A hand
some set is of mole bOrdered with the
white fur and decorated with big MOLE
skin buttons on the ermine part and err
mine buttons ons the darker scarf. The
scarf is made in a peculiar manner with
a great loop at one side marked with the
fur buttons to simulate fastening, and
having the long end on the other side
thrust down through this loop.
A full-length coat of mOleskin has trim
mings Of ermine and big buttons in four
sections, two of mole and two Of the
ermine opposite one another.
An imported scarf Is Of q new shot ma
teriai as heavy as armure silk and very
slightly corded, in deep purple and gold.
1t is bordered with marabou and Is caught
in the back In hood form.
Tassels made of black and white silk
soutache intermingled finish scarfs Of
black and white marabou.
A great bowknot In black silk braiding
