than it had been for the preceding

IMAM II had oeen Tor the preceding
half century.
The interests of the American peo-
pie demanded that I should act just
exactly as l did act; and I would
have taken the action I actually did
take even though / had been certain
that to do so meant my prompt re-
tirement from public life at the next
election"
Concerning the purchase Of the
canal rights from the French compa-
ny. Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Every step taken by the govern
ment in connection with its negotia-
tons with the French company and
the payment Of its official representa-
tives in accordance with the agree
ment entered into was taken with the
utmost care and every detail has been
made public. Every action taken was
not merely proper. but was carried
out in accordance with the highest,
finest and incest standards Of public
and governmental ethics. Doubtless
in Paris, and perhaps to a lesser X
tent in New York. there were specu-
lators who bought and sold in the
stock market with a view to the vary-
ing conditions apparent from time to
time In the course of the negotiations
and with a view to the probable out
come Of the negotiations"
Concerning the opposition Of CO.
lombia. Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Il felt very strongly that the posi-
ton that the one-time secretary Of
state-cass-had taken nearly fifty
years before. was the proper position
derelict in its duty il it permitted Co
lornbia to prevent the building Of the
Panama canal. I was prepared. if
necessary. to submit to congress a
recommendation that we should pro-
coed with the work in spite of CO.
lornbia's opposition. and indeed had
prepared a rough draft OF a message
1sthmus took such shape as to change
the problem"
After detailing the various steps
taken by Colombia to oppose the
treaty. Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Acting in view of all these facts. I
sent various naval vessels to the
lsthmus. The orders to the American
naval officers were to maintain free
and uninterrupted transit across the
Isthmus. and. with that purpose to
prevent the landing of armed forces
in fifty miles of Panama. These or
ders were precisely such as had been
issued again and again in preceding
years. They were carried out.
I'VE recognized the republic of
Panama. Without firing a shot We
prevented q civil war. We promptly
negotiated treaty under which the
canal is now being dug. In conse-
quence Panama has for eight years
enjoyed a degree Of peace and pros
perity which 1t had pefore enjoyed
during Its four centuries Of troubled
existence. Be 1t remembered that
unless I had acted exactly as did act
there would now be no Panama canal.
I've did our duty to the world. we
did our duty to the people Of Panama,

She most thoroughly lives her part

The supporting cast was very strong
and furnished a splendid background
for her work. Daniel Gilfeather as
Monsignor Saracinesca portrayed
great strength and in the scene with
Captain Servi. with dignifled firmness.
Florence Burroughs as Countess Char
amonte had the very trying part as
the mischief maker and scandal mon
ger. She handled the part most skill
fully and in the last net has a very
pretty war of wits with Vernon Wal
lace as Lieutenant Basili. Captain
Servis' friend. who does things with
out asking questions. Robert Wayne
as Captain Giovanni Servi played op.
posite Miss fowler and his work in
the part was all that could be desired.
He played the part of a strong man,
determined to win by the force Of his
love. but in the end submits to his

SHIPPERS OBJECT
TO INCREASED RATE

Washington, D. c., June 6.-Four
central western cities, through their
commercial organization, have pro-
tested to the Interstate commerce COM
mission against the cancellation by
middle western railways Of what Is
known as return shipment rates" For
years it has been the practice Of west
ern railroads to transport returned
shipments Of damaged or unaccepted
goods from the point Of destination
to the original consignor at so per cent
OF the outward charge. Basing their
action upon decision Of the com
mission that returned shipments must
be made within 10 days, at most, the
railways cancelled their tariffs provid-
ing for the low rate.
The cancellations have been attacked
by Kansas City, Omaha, st. Joseph and
Sioux City in complaints filed with the
commission against the Atchinson, To-
peka & Santa Fe railway and other
western carriers.
