ten feet Of horizontal distance, or
less than half the slope which the
eminent engineers first estimated
The slides were an entirely new,
unsupported and vexatious feature of
the Culebra Cut, for the French never
dug deep enough in the score of years
they gave to the job to cause any
sliding of the sides. The Culebra Cut
was the only section of their pro-
posed canal on which the French did
any work after 1889, when the first
failure occurred In 1904, when the
United States took over the canal
and the French equipment, the Guile
bra Cut looked as If the French had
done nothing.
Even in the places where they had
dug the deepest the channel was so
narrow and the vegetation so thick
that there were scarcely any visible
traces of what they had done. The
maximum excavation by the French
was $4,000 cubic yards a month.
which is 80 per cent less than the
American diggers took out in sin
gls day in the cut.

Then, too. in the material improve
ment, in the larger amount OF wealth
devoted now to education and philan-
thropy. there has been aroused a most
CONNIE ndable interest in the poor and
the suffering. BY university settlements
and by other means the observation OF
many well-to-do people is focused on
the poor and suffering and the supposed
causes which produce poverty. and 80
intensely enthusiastic do social workers
become that they lose their sense OF
proportion as to the proportionate num-
Der of the poor whom they are laborinS
for and forget altogether the interest
of those who are not dependents and
yet who make up great majority OF
the common people.
The public has not been content to
estimate and weigh the things done at
their face value, but has accepted the
hostile statements that the good things
which were done were done either with
an improper motive or because / could
not help II. or were really done By
somebody else, and that, on the whole.
