Conclusion.
Congress should fully realize the
conditions which obtain in the world
az We find ourselves at the threshold
Of our middle age as a nation. We
have emerged full grown as q peer in
the great concourse Of nations. We
have passed through various formative
periods. We have been self centered
in the struggle to develop our do
nestle questions. The nation Is now
too mature to continue in It's foreign
relations those temporary expedients
natural to a people to whom domestic
affairs are the sole concern.
In the past our diplomacy has often
consisted. In normal times. In a mere
assertion Of the right to interna tional
existence. We are now in larger re-
lntlon with broader rights Of our own
and obligations to others than our
selves A number Of great guiding
principles were laid down early in the
history Of this government. The recent
task Of our diplomacy has been to ad.
lust those principles to the conditions
Of today. to develop their corollaries,
to find practical applications OF the
old principles expanded to meet new
situations.
The opening Of the Panama canal
will mark a new era in our interna-
tional life and create new and world
wide conditions which, with their vast
correlations and consequences, will oh.
tain for hundreds Of years to come.
We must not wait for events to over.
take us unawares. With continuity of
purpose we must deal with the prob
lens Of our external relations BY a
diplomacy modern, resourceful, mag.
unanimous and fittlngly expressive Of
the high ideals Of great nation.

The young lady heads also the list of special essays, with an "Ode to St. Mary's."
 Miss Elena, as she is more fam- iliarly known to her immediate friends and family, is an ac. complished musician and painter, and at the store of PrOto Brothers there is on exhibition painting from her brush, the subject being the ruins of the old Cocospera Mission, which is situated upon the great Cocospera rancho of Proto Brothers, few miles away from the hacienda.
