legal; all the wrong that was done was done
by her. If, as representing the American peo-
pie, had not acted precisely as did, would
have been an unfaithful or incompetent repre-
sentative; and naction at that crisis would have
meant not only indefinite delay in building the
canal, but also practical admission on our part
that we were not fit to play the part on the 18TH
mus which we had arrogated to ourselves.
| acted on my own responsibility in the Pan
ANA matter. John Hay spoke of this action as
follows: The action of the President in the
Panama matter is not only in the strictest ac-
cordance with the principles of justice and
equity, and in line with all the best precedents
OF our public policy, but it was the only course
he could have taken in compliance with our
treaty rights and obligations"
| deeply regretted, and now deeply regret,
the fact that the Colombian government rem
dcred it imperative for me to take the action
took: but | had no alternative, consistent with
the full performance OF my duty to my own
people, and to the nations of mankind. For,
be it remembered that certain other nations,
Chile for example, will probably benefit even
more by our action than will the United States
itself.) | am we'll aware that Colombian people
have many fine traits; that there is among them
a circle OF high-brcd men and women which
would reflect honor the social life of any
country; and that there has been an intellectual
and literary development within this small circle
which partially atones for the stagnation and
lteracy OF the mass OF the people; and | also
know that even the illiterate mass possesses
many sterling qualities. But unfortunately in
international matters every nation must be
Judged BY the action OF its government. The
good people of Colombia apparently made no ef
fort certainly no successful effort, to cause the
government to act with reasonable good faith
toward the United States; and Colombia had to
take the consequences If Brazil, or Argentina,
or Chile had been in possession of the 1sthmus,
doubtless the canal would have been built under
the governmental control of the nation thus
controlling the l>thmus with the hearty acquies-
cence Of the United States and OF all other pow
ers. But in the actual fact the canal would not
have been built at all save for the action took.

she refused to fulfill the agreement, with the
avowed hope of seizng the French company's
property for nothing and thereby holding us up.
This was bit of pure bandit morality. 1t would
have achieved its purpose had l possessed as
weak moral fiber as those of my critics who
nounced that l ought to have confined my action
to feeble scolding and temporizing until the OPP
portunity for action had passed.
did not lift my finger to incite the revolu-
tionists. The right simile to use is totally diff
ferent. l simply ceased to stamp out the differ
ent revolutionary fuses that were already burn
ing When Colombia committed fragrant wrong
against us, l considered it no part of my duty
to aid and abet her in her wrong doing at our
expense and also at the expense of Panama, OF
the French company and of the world generally.
Patience to the Limit
There had been fifty years of continuous
bloodshed and civil strife in Panama: because
of my action Panama has now known ten years
of such peace and prosperity as she never before
saw during the four centuries of her existence
for in Panama, as in Cuba and Santo Domingo,
it was the action of the American people, against
the outcries of the professed apostles of peace,
which alone brought peace. We gave to the
people of Panama self-government, and freed
them from subsection to alien oppressors. We
did our best to get Colombia to let us treat her
with a more than generous justice; we exercised
patience to beyond the verge OF proper forbear
ance.
When we did act and recognize Panama, Co.
lombia at once acknowledged her own guilt by
promptly offering to do what we had demanded
and what she had protested it was not in her
power to do But the offer came too late. What
we would gladly have done before, it had by
that time become impossible for us honorably
to do; for it would have necessitated our aban-
doning the people of Panama, our friends and
turning them over to their and Our foes, who
would have wrcaked vengeance them pre-
ciselv because they had shown friendship to us.
Colombia was solely responsible for her own
humiliation and she had not then, and has not
now one shadow of claim upon us. moral or

imperative, not only for civil but for military
tablishment of easy and speedy communication
by sea between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
These reasons were not of convenience only, but
of vital necessity, and did not admit of indef-
mite delay. The action of Colombia had shown
not only that the delay would be indefinite, but
that she intended to confscate the property and
rights of the French Panama Canal Company.
The report of the Panama Canal Committee
of the Colombian Senate on October IA, 1903, on
the proposed treaty with the United States, pro-
posed that all consideration of the matter should
be postponed until October 81, 1904, when the
next Colombian Congress would have convened,
because by that time the new congress would be
in condition to determine whether through lapse
of time the French company had not forfeited its
property and rights when that time arrives"
the report significantly declared, the republic,
without any impediment, will be able to contract
and will be in more clear, more definite and more
advantageous possession, both legally and ma
terialy." The naked meaning of this was that
Colombia proposed to wait year, and then en-
force a forfeiture of the rights and property of
the French Panama Company, so as to secure
the forty million dollars our government had
authorized as payment to this company. If we
had sat supine this would doubtless have meant
that France would have interfered to protect the
company, and we should then have had on the
Isthmus, not the company, but France; and the
gravest international complications might have
ensured.

Weakness that Is Wicked.


From the beginning to the end our course
was straightforward and in absolute accord with
the highest of standards of international moral
itv. Criticism of it can come only from misin-
formation, or else from sentinentaity which
represents both mental weakness and moral
twist To have acted otherwise than l did
would have been on my part betrayal of the in
terests of the United States, indifference to the
interests of Panama, and recreancy to the in
terests OF the world at large. Colombia had
forfeited every claim to consideration; indeed,
this is not stating the case strongly enough; she
had so acted that yielding to her would have
meant on our part that culpable form of weak
ness which stands on a level with wickedness
As for me personally, if had hesitated to act,
and had not in advance discounted the clamor
of those Americans who have made a fetish of
dsloyalty to the country, should have esteemed
myself as deserving place in Dante's inferno
beside the faint-hearted cleric who was guilty of
ii gran rifuto." The facts l have given above
are mere bald statements from the record. They
show that from the beginning there had been
acceptance of Our right to insist free transit,
in whatever form was best, across the Isthmus;
and that towards the end there had been no
less universal feeling that it was duty to
the world to provide this transit in the shape of
a canal-the resolution of the Pan-American
Congress was practically mandate to this eff
feet. Colombia was then under a one-man gov
ernment, dictatorship, founded on usurpation
of absolute and irresponsible power. She Gag
erly pressed us to enter into an agreement with
her, as long as there was any chance of our
qua. When she thought We were committed,

foolish, is compatible with belief in their wrong
headed sincerity. But it is hypocrisy, alike

 GREENBORO. Feb. 6.-The deaths cf two popular young people of this place has caused sensation on aC- count of the evident death compact which seems to have been made be- tween them and the calm deliberation with which it was carried out.
 lf was known that John McFadden and Anna Lutz were engaged and eX- pected to be married soon so nothing was thought of it when they renal ained cut in the mans automobile later than usual last night. As the time passed, however. their families began to worry, fearing that there had been an accident to the machine.
 X search party was started out early this morning the automobile was found sitting at the side of the road about five miles from town.
 The searchers came upon the ma chine from the rear and at first thought that the young lovers were merely lost in dream of love and had forgottean all about time and it's responsibilities. They were sitting upright in the front seat of the car and the mans left hand was holding the steering wheel while the girls arms were thrown around him in an embrace.
 Upon closer investigation it was seen that both of the occupants of the automobile were dead and that the
