COL. ROOSEVELT SAW

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt during
hi0 recent visit to Seattle. Washington,
at which time he was the guest of the
Seattle Press club. used an EMF

the northwestern city. At the Uni
versity Of Washington the famous lion
hunter addressed a crowd Of nearly
10000 people from the tonneau of the
EMF. In the car with Roosevelt
was President Franklin Kane Of the
University.
The colonel used the car during the
parade given In his honor. Heretofore
he has always used carriage or rode
horseback on his previous visits to
the extreme west. and the fact that
hes rode In motor car brought forth
much comment.

Vanquishing the Pestilence.

Through the efficiency of the
United States marine hospital
forces stationed in the canal zone,
all semblance of pestilence has
been vanquished.
This was the very thing the
French did not do, when that
voIative nation sought to build a
canal from ocean to ocean.
1t is why the enterprise was a
failure. The French forgot to
fight the p%estilence before they
began the real work of building
The Americans sought the com
pletion of the sanitary, sewerage
and water systems before work
men were imported to dig the
big ditch. In this way pesti-
lence in the zone has been van
qnished.
For centuries all civilized ma
tons have been building canals
and dams, though the Gatun dam
breaks all records.
Peru has yet crumbling mon
uments to canals and DAMS,
built by the ancient Peru
vians centuries ago. The
relics of the lost race show what
ingenious people they were. An,
cient Rome was accomplished in
such engineering feats, and the
wonderful aqueducts of that dis
tant day remains as reminders
of what they could do. The
same is true of many other dead
nations. but in all the worlds
history there has never been
such an engineering feat as the
one which our government is
completing, and it would never
have been possible but for the
ability of the government to van
quish pestilence in the canal
zone.
Sanitation has made the canal
possible and sanitation will make
a new world possible If the peo-
pie will but observe the laws of
health. - Commercial Appeal.
