PANAMA CANAL WILL OPEN NEXT AUTUMN
Official Estimate Is Based Upon Latest Report of
 Army Engineers

Washington, September 14-The Pana- ma canal is to be opened to traffic in the autumn of 1913. This statement was made officially at the navy department today with an announcement that the Atlantic fleet would be rendezvoused at Colon this winter before the water is turned in. The estimate of the navy is based upon the latest report from the army engineers.
 Secretary Meyer found that construc- tion work on the canal had progressed so far that unless action was taken im- medlately there was q probability that the men of the fleet would have no op- portunity to examine the ditch before it was placed in operation. The fleet will include those ships already named and the passengers will have a railroad trip from each side. The date of opening originally was set for January 1, 1915. The remaining work Is said to offer few obstacles.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS IN SAN FRANCISCO Replies to Press Club Speech of Governor Wilson GOVERNOR IN ERROR Severely Criticises Programme in Relation to Social and Industrial
 Service of the Demo-
 cratic Nominee
GOVERNOR IN ERROR

San Francisco, September 14-"Wood- row Wilson has advanced a programme
 in relation to social and industrial jus tice," Colonel Roosevelt said in a speech here tonight which is either a promise that Is not to be kept or else 1t means the undoing of every particle of social and industrial advance which we have made
 Colonel Roosevelts speech was deliv- cred before a large crowd in the Coli seum to which he went immediately on his arrival in San Francisco He was or the train all day except for a stop of an hour In Reno, New
 Colonel Roosevelt based his criticism of the governors before the New York Press club
 According to the stenographic report of his speech" said the colonel MT Wilson stated that there is no hope for social reform through the platform of the progressive party, saying:
 ' Tn the very platform itself is sup piled the demonstration that it is not serviceable instrument. They do propose tp sFi Nt iiNiiiSdlioH anu iiuiliaHitJr bul they cannot serve civilization and hu- manity with that kind of government
 The history of liberty is 8 history of the limitation of governmental power. not the increase of It.
 This Is a bit of out worn academic doctrine which was kept in the school room and the professoria1 study for a generation after 1t had been abandoned by all who had experience of actual life.
 Moreover, Mir. Wilson is absolutely in error in his statement from the historical standpoint. So long as governmental power was exclusively for the king, and not at all for the people, then the history of liberty was a history of the limita- tion of governmental power.
 "Tf MT Wilson's statement means any thing, it means that every law for the promotion of social and industrial justice which has been put upon the statute books ought to be repealed and every law proposed should be abandoned. for with out exception every such law represents an increase of governmental power.
 ''The Interstate commerce commission law represented a great increase in gov ernmentdl power Does Mir Wilson mean to repeal 1t? If not, does he deny that 1t represents great increase of gov ernmetal power over the railroads? Let him take whichever horn of the dilemma he chooses
 "If MT. Wilson really believes what he says then MT. Wilson has no idea of our government in it's actual workings.
 You car adopt one phisolopsy or the other. You can adopt the philosopy of limitation of governmental power and turn industrial life of this country into a chaotic scramble of selfish interests each bent on plundering the others and all bent on expressing the wage worker. This Is precisely and exactly what MT. Wilson's proposal means and it can mean nothing else.
 'The reverse policy means an extension instead of a limitation of governmental power and for that extension we progress sives stand"
