victims to the roll of honor. Once
every year we are asked to pause in
our pursuit of ordinary things and
pay brief tribute to the dead who
gave service in the army or navy in

to use a part OF Memorial dag for

to do so without also performing the

They are eating steadily into the mountain, cut ting it down and down.

 Lodge president have exhibited too much "cockiness" of leadership. Each declares with heat that there shall be compromise. Mir Lodge speaks, perhaps small group of ire concilabIes. The president speaks with the petu- lance of sick deeply disappointed Both these leaders should be shown something. It should be demonstrated Mir. Lodge his lead ershp depends solely upon a majority. A time the president should be informed that his sumption of the leadership of the minority is a usurpaton of the functions of the legislator.

 Such a basis will thereby be laid the building of a League of Nations which a bigger thing than the president, bigger thing than Lodge, a big thing than political party. Whether league should be established such basis would of course, depend upon whether other nations would accept that basis. That would O worry about. agreement in which nothing from any other nation; in which give but in which take nothing; in which only guarantee insti- tutons, would certainly, be accepted not would be evident that the time had yet a League of Nations.
 But believe that such reasonable basis as a majority in could easily agree upon would be acceptable to any which has at heart the peace of the world and the promotion of it's selfish interests. Anyway something would have been done all possible have been the approval of the American people.

pending legislation and those about a pending case in court. in important and vital particular not comparable. It is possible probable that some strong congressman though they may question the wisdom of the anti-strike clause, them selves for entirely different reason compelled to support it. The merits of that question have been overshadowed now by overwhelmingly greater one, and whose determination will have far deeper effect upon the country. If now, the anti-strike clause should be defeated it will appear that the machinists' union has overawed congress and the popular confidence in congress materially iessened. We might not suffer materially such mere appearance. But the machinists' union would believe that it had congress- so would every other union and it would be accepted that what been done once may be done again at pleasure. Any demand for legislation any protest against egsla tion would thereafter be backed by the powerful union to in a nationwide strike. Congress, if not now. at sometime would be forced to make stand abdicate in favor of a soviet form of government. The best time. course make a stand, is at the beginning.

ion, and the uninterrupted and bloody wars that followed, the last occurring when I became president; wars, the victorious heroes of which have their pictures frescoed on the quaint roofns of the palace at Panama city, and in similar palaces in all capitals of these strange, turbulent little half-caste civ ilizations. Meanwhile the Panama railroad had been built by Americans over a half century ago, with appall- ing lo9 of life, so that it is said. of course with exaggeration, that every sleeper laid represented the death of a man. Then the French canal com pany started work, and for two O. three years did good deal until it became evident that the task far ex- ceeded it's powers; and then to mis
 calculation and inesficiency was add- ed the hideous greed of adventurers
 trying each to save something from the general wreck, and the company closed with infany and scandal.
 Now we have taken hold of the job
 We have difficulties with our own people, of course. I haven't a doubt that it will take a little longer and cost a little more than men now ap- preciate. but I believe that the work is being done with a very high degree both of efficiency and honesty; and I am immensely struck by the character Of American employees who are en- gagged, not merely in experimenting the work, but in doing all the jobs that need skill and intelligence. The steam shovels, the dirt trains, the ma chine shops, and the like, are all filled with American engineers conductors machinists, boilermakers, carpenters. From the top to the bottom these men are so handy, so efficient, so energetic. that it is real pleasure to look a. them Stevens, the head engineer is big fellow, man of daring and good sense. and burly power. All of these men are quite as formidable, and would, if it were necessary, do quite as much in battle as the crews of Drake and Morgan; but as it is, they are doing a work of infinitely more lasting consequence. Nothing what ever remains to show what Drake and Morgan did. They produced no real effect down here, but Stevens and his men are changing the face of the continent, are doing the greatest en- gineering feat of the ages, and the effect of their work will be felt while our civilization lasts. I went oyer ev- erything that I could possibly go over in the time at my disposal I ex- amined the quarters of married and single men, white men and negroes. I went over the ground of the Gatun and La Boca dams; went throuyh
