COL. ROOSEVELT
VISITS MICHIGAN
MAKES CAR PLATFORM SPEECHES
AT KALAMAZOO, BATTLE
CREEK AND ANN ARBOR.
COLONEL PUTS IN ~ STRENUOUS
HOURS IN STATE.
Greeted Along the Line Of His Rush
Across the state by Big
Crowds Anxious to See
and Hear Him.

Col. Roosevelt addressed a great
crowd in the Light Guard armory, De-
troit, Saturday night. He spoke for
just an hour and while there were
numerous flashes OF enthusiasm. for
the most part he was listened to with
respectful attention.
Probably the most pointed statement
he made was his admission that while
president he had seized the Panama
canal strip instead OF waiting for con-
gressional action. 1t was expected
that he would have something to say
about the recall OF judicial decisions
and he did at some length. but instead
OF reiterating his Columbus utterances
he simply advocated a referendum on
state court interpretations of state con-
situations in cases where II is found
that they prevent the CARRYING out OF
laws in the interests of social justice.
The colonel Landed the progressive
members OF congress for passing the
rate bill and scored the commerce
court as a mischievous institution. He
also took occasion TO say good word
for City Clerk Nichols, Of Detroit. In
this connection he declared that he
had not asked human being to sup
port him. for the reason that he knew
they would be threatened with politi-
cal extinction, and for that reason
was proud Of the support of such a
man as Nichols.
Nor did the colonel forget TO men,
ton the fact that the legislature had
failed to provide political presiden-
tial primary, but he was mixed on his
data, as he insisted on stating that
seven senators had prevented the peo-
pie from having their primary and
was careful not TO mention the con-
stitutional prohibition on which that
action was based.
For the rest OF his address he para
phrased the ten commandments, urging
the control of big business in one
breath and adding that corporations
must be given square deal or they
won't continue TO do their work. He
derided the fact that Senator Lorimer
had been allowed to retain his seat
by a majority vote of the senate COM

ment from the stage that the distin-

The crowd arrived early and the
armory was filed an hour before the
time set for the colonel to arrive, but
they We're entertained by two bands
and Harold Jarvis, who sang two pop
ular songs. When the colonel did ar
rive he was given hearty but brief
cheer He was accompanied by Tru-
man II. Newberry, Who served in his
cabinet as secretary of the navy;

The Panama Canal
BY Willie Carlson


The plan of building this canal had
been thought of ever since the 18th
century. The first attempt to
build the Panama canal was by a
French Company 1881.
The intention was to cut this ca
nal through at sea level, but after
gcing about seven miles from Co
Ion the company failed and work
ceased.
Later another French Company
decided to construct a canal with
locks, which would give it sum-
nit level of SO feet above the Ca
ribbean sea.
Work on this project had been
in operation for several years, but
comparatively little advance had
been made in construction of the
canal.
The war with Spain and especi-
ally the long voyage of the Ore
gon' made clear our need of a ca
nal joining the Pacific and the At
lantic. Both parties favored such
Il canal. A treaty with Great Bri
tain, who had some rights over
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1911-06-01

such a canal, not only gave the
United States the right to make a
treaty for the construction of a ca
nal but, also to defend such a wa
ter way.
Congress gave the president the
right to build the canal across the
isthmus of Panama. If. however
he could not make favorable terms
with Colombia for the control of
the route, then he was authorized
to build the'canal by the Nicaragua
route. The president could not
make favorable terms with Colom-
bia, but the state of Panama, the
most concered in the canal, rehelled,
set up an independent government,
and offered the United States a
very favorable treaty.
Secretary Hayes accepted the
treaty and the senate ratified it
1904.
BY this agreement the United
States obtained control over a strip
of territory five miles wide along
each side of the canal. The United
States promised to pay Panama ten
million dollars Immediately and two
hundred fifty thousand dollars an
nually nine years after the canal
is finished.
The French Company which began
the work on the canal received
forty million dollars for canal
rights.
The United States also agreed to
keep the canal open to the COM
merce of all nations.
The canal will be forty nine miles
in length, one hundred and fifty
feet deep, and have five locks.
The height of summit level is from
eighty-two to neinty feet. The es-
timated time of transit is twelve
hours. 1t was to be completed
within ten years, but will be ready

There has been = great change
In China in recent years. They
have improved their army, their
navy and their schools. Chins
has changed her attitude toward
Westesn civilization. Napoleon
once said. when China moves,
she moves the world
The Grand canal has greatly
facilitated the internal navigation
of the country. Until lately, the
feet with its 100000 tons of rice
passed from Peking by this great
waterway. 1t connects Tien-tsin
with Hang-chow. Its total length
is about six hundred and fifty miles.
A wonderful structure is the
Great Wall in China. There is no
reason to suppose that any other
wall can be compared with this one.
Part of this old wall has been re-
moved and there is railroad being
built over it. The old wall and
what it stood for. has given way to
the railroad and what it stands for.
She is taking new ideas, which af-
ter all is just what has has made
her new.
One hundred years of contact
with the civilization of Western
nations has been too much for
her. Atevery point she has been
found wanting. In war. diplo-
macy, commerce, and in educa-
tiOnal and social relations she has
been made to feel her inferiority.
China has abolished her old ed
ucational system and introduced IL
new one. For one thousand three
hundred years they had one course
of study which was not changed
one particle during these centuries.
There are nine books in all: which
combined are not AS large as our
Bible: these are books that were
used in China in their schools.
Every one who aspired to Office
had to be able to pass an eXamina-
tiOn. There are hundreds of men
that can repeat these books from
beginning to end. Now this is all
done away with and schools of
Western learning have taken their
place. Science, history, geogra-
ply, political economy and the
Bible will be the factors in the ed
ucationsal system in China in the
future. In these Christian schools
the Bible is studied from begin
ming to graduation. There are
over one hundred thousand
public schools. in China today:
several years ago there were none.
The educational system was only
for favored few. Female educa-
tion for the whole of China, with
the abolishing Of foot binding is Il
part of the new system also.
