De Lesseps had some big ideas when he digging
the Suez Canal; but they mainly commercial.
He lived long enough to that he had really been
engaged in extending the borders of the British En-
pire-tough luck for Frenchman of his day! When
the perspraon was rolling down the faces of the French
engineers out there in the binding sunlight, with old
Ismail Pasha in Cairo trying to crowd twenty-six
hours of pleasure into twenty our-hour day, of
them would have been happy could they have known
that they really raising the British flag the
land of the Pharaohs, from the Delta to Victoria
Nyanza; but it so.
ENTERS the American, spade in hand. He

in digging canal for which he has apparent use

boats Suppose has shortened the distance from New
York to San Francisco by eight thousand miles, who
cares? When want to go from coast to another
we take the train. And although the distance is
three thousand miles shorter from New York to the
cattle ranches of Australia nobody on Broadway ex-

But even if the seafarng nations of Aquitania and
Vaterland and La Touraine think that the laugh is
us-there it is from Colon to Panama, the Big Ditch
of Goethas 1t is merry jest to the makers of
and charts for has made obsolete every map of the
world-and is likely eventually to make some other
things obsolete.
By and by it will be seen that we have been digging
the canal for ourselves, all the while pokng the mari

considerations much vital this nation than the
tonnage Of vessels and the totals of foreign commerce,
considerations that profoundly affected by the
Panama Canal.
There is for instance, the doctrine that made Mon

the Opening of the Panama Canal" Fate may have
little to do with the commas of human history, but it
regulates the full stops.
TN building this canal have been like the boy who
idly chucks stone into mi1pond and watches the
rpples expand in overwhelming circle which nothing
can stop until the impulse hits the bank each side
If the stone were heaved from the deck of steamer
the md-Atlantc, any abebodied scientist could prove
by figures and diagrams that the rppes set in motion
would eventually (even though mpercepbly) lap the
Rock of Gibraltar the east and Sandy Hook Light
ship the west. To determine what becomes of the
northward and southwark extensions of the rppes the
services of perhaps scientists would be required.
But neither scientist nor seer can than vaguely
forecast what the Panama Canal will have to do in in
fuencng human history for the next thousand years
We have idly cast the stones and watching the
rpples as they start their long circle toward the
shores of the distant years.
Let the historian of yesterday of today prattle
all he likes about his decisive battles it the decisive
highway that is the big factor in human affairs For
instance, there time when lusty young
nation with the American spirit calling itself @the
Roman People," went into the business of making
roads; making them well that parts of them
still in after all these centuries. They were built
for the quick transport of mailed egonS, and served
their purpose we but long after the echo of the last
Roman bugle had died away these Roman roads
sounded with the tread of higher civilization going
out to all the earth And remote result there is
today no nation civilized or barbaric that has not
been definitely influenced by the forgotten who
built the highways.
But highway, whether of macadam or of steel
rails, makes little change in history unless the road be
very long. A waterway does not need to be long in
order to break the school histories That hundred
miles of blue which stretches the yellow
sand from Port Said to Suez has already affected the
destiny of several nations profoundly than the

sleeper of Kipling's imagery, facing Goods hour
the world over when the stars have gone out and it
too dark to clear, and lies with the fumes of
last nights embers in ones nostrls-es and waits for
new horizon to heave itself up against dawn"
And the ates have decreed that the dawn should
ships of the world
The canal alone would have achieved the result
eventually; but the European has accelerated it.
That America should take its logical place upon the
is consummation that has long and devoutly
been wished. The canal awakened to the absurdty
of making provision for merchant feet of our
to traverse the great ocean highway that genius
has provided; and the unfortunate event that tied up
nearly all the ocean-going steamships has moved
swiftly in the direction of great opportunity-our

Be not misled by the fact that shortsghtedness
does not yet disclose all the details whereby that des

member in the early days of 9S the blthesome ideal
with which sprang into with Spain merely
to free oppressed island in the Antilles? Can you
recall any Congressman wise that he then forecast
in the midst of his burning oratory, the entrance of
the United States world power and factor upon
the high seas? Do you recall any writer of that early
day to whom Hawaii and Manila and Porto Rico meant
anything more than Samoa and Borneo and Martinique?
Just that little marked epoch in Amer-
can history, so the opening of the canal will open up
future to the American people-and it will be
