sat on the front seat Of the family
carryall and shared the responsible
ties of plotting "old Tom while the
rest of the party rode tehind. Col
onel said, as they moved along. that
he always did like horses better than
automobiles.
Mr.. White had issued a public APP
peal to the people of Emporia in the
interests of Col. Roosevelt to give
the man the one thing in the world
he needs most--a complete rest"
Some of the people had planned diff
ferently. They had arranged to give

ginning with 4 band concert, at A.
NJ, when he arrived here from Tope-
ka. These plans Were cancelled when
the colonel's wishes became known.

colonel would be there until he en-

PANAMA'S WATER SUPPLY.
Locks Can Be Filled $50 Times Daily
Engineers At Work.

Washington. Sept. 22.-The engi-
neers calculations as to the sufficien-
cy of the water supply in the Panama
canal have been amply indicated by
the figures just reported from the
isthmus The great lake of Gatun,
which is being created by the dam

water. In the period the water level
of the lake rose three feet.
Every time a ship is locked through
the canal 5,560,000 cubic feet of water
must pass, and when the lake is full
it will afford enough water to fill the
locks 1850 times daily. which is at
least twice as fast as the ships can
pass.
When the surface of the lake reach
es its maximum height of 81 feet
above sea level, with the water just
flowing over the crest of the dam, it

Before the President left Beverly,

made public a letter he wrote TO John
w. Thompson, president of the West

comments on Emancipation day and
the courage of President Lincoln The
letter read as follows:
Il am very sorry not 10 be able to cell
citrate with you the anniversary of the
emancipation proclamation issued by
President Lincoln on Sept. -. 1862, 80
years ago. | expect to attend another
celebration of the event in Washington
on the 23d of this month. The issuance
of the emancipation proclamation was
the initial and the most important step
in the freeing of 50o0,000 of slaves, who
with their descendants have now grown
into 10,0000O and constitute more than
10 per cent of our total population. 1t
is of course an event in which every
lover of his country takes an intense in
terest Until the emancipation of the
Negroes the assertion that ours was the
country of liberty was untrue. The Con-
stihtion and the Declaration of indie
pendence were utterly at variance with
each other i'm the recognition that the
former gave to property in human kind
The excision of the cancer represented
in the social institution of slavery ena-
bled all Americans to look the world
i'm the face. and say that our pretensions
to absolute freedom were founded on
fact and did not need the saving of eX-
ceptions in order to make them truthful
''Mr Lincoln suffered greatly by the
criticism and abuse of those who thought
he did not act quickly enough in Issuing
the emancipation proclamation and later
from the attacks Of those who thought
the act was a great mistake. Now. as
we look back Upon it. We realize that
his selection of the time was most fort
innate. He delayed action until he could
talke it as a war measure under the Con-
stitution and could defend what he did
as within his lawful power as command
er-in-chief of the army and navy in the
prosecution of the war
1.-THE emancipation did not free all the
slaves 1t could not free those who We're
in territory not within the arena of war
but after he had issued this proclama-
ton. the completion of the steps needed
to secure the abolition of slavery as n
constitutional amendment was a necessi-
ty, and only a matter of time. IT Is
right, then, that I incoln should be help
up in history as the man chiefly respon-
sible for the freedom of the Negro.
81 sincerely hope that your celebration
will be as successful as the greatness of
the subject matter Of your gathering
merits"
