SENATOR KEARNS' VIEWS ON CUlEBRA
ELICIT APPROVAL Of NEW YORK SUN

he enjoyed every facility which the
friendly assistance and cooperation
OF General Cocktails people could
afford him. His conclusions are set
forth in statement on another page
of the Sun. They are radically differ
ent in essential particulars from che
general theory on which the govern
ment engineers are now endeavoring
to dispose of the problem of Culebra,
the Snake. They go deeper into the
causes of the trouble, nearer to its
crux, than anything contained in the
latest official survey of the situation,
the able Mcdonald report. AT any
rate. the originality of Mr.. Kearn's
views and the correctness and inter
est of their exposition commend them
to the attention alike of professional
engineers and of laymen. The impor-
lance of the question cannot be ex-
aggerated. for the failure to conquer
Culebra means nothing less than the
abandonment of the present route and
n new canal enterprise.
"'rhe Sun has good reason to be
lieve that the man who gave his life
TO Culebra. the man in whose honor
that stupendous excavation has been
renamed the Gaillard cut, had in his
last days at least partial perception
of the truth of the theory of causa-
ton which Senator Kearns now sets
forth with modest conviction and
disnterested purpose"

One thing Roosevelt must always be given credit tor and that is fighting against moIycoddeism During ms incumbency of the Presidency he always foe to the cheap pseudomoaty which some weak people regard as the real thing There is type of person, more common to the United States than any other country which con- fuses babysm with purity. They believe that by spoung virtue they are vruous but the truth IS that they lack manliness enough for manly vices Mind you, neither Roosevelt nor anyone else taking that side of the question believes in vice They probably abhor it more than the Pharisees but they abhor the Phaees more The hypo cte is one who careful to hide his vices but he probably possesses more vices than the man he condemns the only
 difference being that the vices of the hypocrte are of the sneak nature There is nothing in the world better cal cuated to turn real men against reform movements than the asinine moIycoddesm displayed by socaed reform CTS No matter how Roosevelt might be condemned today he must always be given credit for showing the real diff ference between men and Molies.
