any enterprise that Is human.- It Is a
Btupendous work, upon which our fel
low-countrymen are engaged down
there on the Isthmus, and while we
should hold them to a strict account
ability for the way In which they per
form It, we should yet recognise, with
frank generosity, the epic nature of
the task on which they are engaged and
11s world-wide Importance. They are
doing something which will redound
Immeasurably to the credit of Amerl-*
ra, which will benefit all the world, and
which will last for ages to come. Un
der Mr. Shonts and Mr. Stevens and
Dr. Gorgaa this work has started with
' every omen of good fortune. _
.Are to Get Badges.
"They and their worthy associates,
from the highest to the lowest, are
entitled to the same credit that we
would give to the picked men of
victorious army; for this conquest of
peace will, In Its great and far-reach
ing effect, stand as among the very
greatest conquests, whether of peace or
of war. which have ever been won by
any of the people of mankind. A
badge Is to be given to every Ameri
can citizen who for a specified time has
taken part In this work; for partici
pation In It will hereafter be held to
reflect honor upon the man participat
ing, Just as It reflects honor upon a
soldier to have belonged to a mighty
array In a great- war for righteous
ness. Our fellow-countrymen on the
Isthmus are working for our Interest
and for the national renown In the same
spirit and with the same efficiency that
the men of the army and navy work In
time of war. It behooves us In our
turn to do all we can to hold up their
hands and to old them In' every way
to bring their great work to a tri
umphant conclusion."
Fully 2,000 words of the message are
taken up at Its beginning In telling In
detail the movements of the presiden
tial party while on the Isthmus. Ac
cording to this bold recital of fact no
cartoonist of that historical trip, no
matter how wild and freakish his fan
cy, has succeeded In doing this stren
uous Jaunt Justice. They were on the
go from 12 to 18 hours a day, rain or
ahlne, day and night. The president
saw everything, heard everySody, look,
ed Into all the houses, public and pri
vate, ate of everything, drank of
everything.
Of the new reservoir back of Mount
Hope, built to supply water for Colon
and Cristobal, he writes:
"One of the most amusing (as well
ss dishonest) attacks made upon the
commission was In connection with this
reservoir. The writer In question usu
ally confined himself to vague general
mendacity; but In this case he specific,
ally stated that there was no water In
the vicinity fit for a reservoir (I drank
It, and It was excellent), and that this
particular reservoir would never hold
water, anyway. Accompanying this
message, as I have said above. Is a
photograph of the reservoir as I my
self saw It, and as It has been In exist,
ence ever since the article In question
was published. With typical Ameri
can humor, the engineering corps still
at work at the reservoir have christen
ed a large boat which Is now used on
the reservoir by the name of the Indi
vidual who thus denied the possibility
of the reservoir’s existence.
Too Many Barrooms.
He notes that there seemed to be too
many saloons In the zone. "But the
new high license law which goes Into
effect on January 1 next will probably
close four-fifths of them. Resolute and
successful efTorts are being. Made to
minimize and control the sale of li
quor.”
Hy personal Inspection and personal
experience he came to the conclusion
that there was no cause for complaint
about food. In detailing his experience
he says:
"The married men ate at home. The
unmarried men sometimes ate at pri
vate boarding houses or private messes,
but more often. Judging by the answers
of those whom I questioned, at the
government canteens or hotels, where
the meal costs 10 cents to each em
ployee. This 30-cent meal struck me
being as good a meal as we get In
- 1 nlted States at the ordinary hotel
m which a 50-cent meal Is provided,
■lire,-.fourth, 0 f the men whom I
questioned stated that the meals fur-
nlshfri , lt these government hotels
were good, the remaining one-fourth
'h it they were not good. I myself took
umm i at La Boca government hotel,
n !' warning whatever having been
given of my coming. There were two
rooms, hh generally In these hotels. In
one the employees were allowed to dine
without their coats, while In the other
’h' V had to put them on. The 30-cent
meal Included soup, native beer (which
■■'ns good), mashed potatoes, peas,
r**t*. •'hill con came, plurli pudding,
’ ■ 1 ■ coffee—each man having as much
"‘cooh dish as he desired.
, '*n the table there wak a bottle of
uqum quinine tonic, which two-thirds
"f I he guests, as I was Informed, used
’' cry day. There were nent table
and napkins. The men who
"* re taking the meal at or about the
same time Included railroad men. ma-
' "hosts, shipwrights and members of
office force. The rooms were clean,
1 omfortable and airy with mosquito
"' mens around the outer piazza. I was
nronned by some of those present that
■nis hotel, and also the other similar
hotels, were every Saturday nigh:
turned Into club houses where the
American officials, the school teachers
and various employees appeared, bring
ing their wives, there being dancing
and singing. There was a piano In the
room, which, I was Informed, was used
for the music on these occasions. My
meal was excellent, and two newspa
per correspondents who had been In the
Isthmus several days Informed me that
It, was precisely like the meals they
had been getting elsewhere at other
government hotels. One of the em
ployees was a cousin of the secret
service man who was with me. and he
stated that the meals had always been
good, but that after a time he grew
tired of them because they seemed so
much alike.”
As to Foreign Labor.
A steady effort, he says, Is being
made to secure Italian labor, and espe
cially to procure more Spaniards.
“It has not proved possible, how
ever." he says, "to get them in any
thing like the numbers needed for the
work, and from present appearances
we shall In the main have to rely for
the ordinary unskilled work partly
upon colored laborers from the West
Indies and partly upon Chinese labor. It
certainly ought to be unnecessary to
point out that the American working
man In the United States has no con
cern whatever In the question as to
whether the rough work on the Isth
mus, which Is performed by aliens In
any event. Is done by aliens from one
country with a black skin or by aliens
from another country with yellow skin.
Our business Is to dig the canal as ef
ficiently and as qi|lckly ns,possible;
provided always that nothing Is done
that Is inhumane to any laborer, and
nothing that Interferes with the wages
of or lowers the standard of living* of
our own workman. Having in view
this principle, I have arranged to try
several thousand Chinese laborers. This
is desirable both because we must try
to And out whnt laborers are most ef
ficient, and, furthermore, because we
should not leave ourselves at the mercy
of any one type of foreign labor. At
present the great bulk of the unskilled
labor on the Isthmus Is done by West
India negroes, chiefly from Jamaica,
Barbados and the other English pos
sessions. One of the governors of the
lands In question has shown an un
friendly disposition to our work, and
has thrown obstacles In the way of
our getting the labor needed, and It Is
highly-undesirable to give any outsid
ers the Impression, however III founded,
that they are Indispensable and can
dictate terms to us.”
Problems of Construction.
In discussing the actual work of
construction he says: '
"The work Is now going on with a
vigor and efficiency pleasant to witness.
The three big problems of the canal
are La Boca dams, the Gatun dam and
the Culebra cut. The Culebra cut must
be .made anyhow; but, of poursc.
changes as to the dams, or at least as
to the locks adjacent the dams, may
still occur. The La Boca dams offer
no particular problem, the bottom ma
terial being so good that there Is a
practical certainty, not merely os to
what can be achieved, but as to "the
time of achievement. The Gatun dam
offers tho most serious problem which
we have to solve, and yet the ablest
men on the Isthmus believe that this
problem Is certain of solution along the
lines proposed, although, of course, *lt
necessitates great toll, energy and In
telllgence, and although equally, o
course, there will be some little risk In
connection with the work. Tho risk
arises from the fact that some of the
material near the bottom Is not so good
as could be desired.
"If the huge earth dam now contem
plated Is thrown across from one foot
hill to the other we will have what Is
practically n low, broad mountain ridge
behind which will rise the Inland lake.
This artificial mountain will probably
show less seepage, that Is,- will have
greater restraining capacity than the
average natural mountain range. Tho
exact location of the locks at this dam
—as at the other dams—Is now being
determined. In April next Secretary
Taft, xvlth three of the ablest engineers
of the country—Messrs. Noble, Stenrns
and Hlpley—wiu visit the Isthmus, and
the three engineers will make the flnnl
and conclusive examinations of to the
exact Bize for each lock.
"Meanwhile the work Is going ahead
without a break."

Writes Beckham a Letter.
Roasts Roosevelt for Not
Condemning Liquor.
Special to The Georgian,
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 17.—Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the joint smasher, left
here for Johnson (Sty, Tenn., but she
will go to Atlanta next week, where she
will hold forth In the Tabernacle.
Mrs. Nation has written Governor
Beckham, of Kentucky, roasting .Brest
dent Roosevelt because he refused to
express his views on the tobacco and
liquor traffic' In his last message, after
having been requeated to by the United
Mothers of the World, In session at
Hartford, Conn. She asks Governor
Beckham to have prohibition and i
woman's suffrage plank In the Demo
cratlc platform because she says It Is
right and will Insure the election or a
Democratic president In 1908. She
claims that because Roosevelt refused
to give his views on the tobacco and
liquor questions, It means the death
knell to the Republican party.
Mrs. Nation held forth for the last
time at the auditorium In thla city last
night.
Yesterday afternoon she spoke to a
large audience of men only on the sub
Ject of Impurity.
Regardless of what the people may
think or say about her, Mrs. Nation
visits the raloons and with words
sharper than a txvo-edged sword tells
them that they ought to quit the busi
ness.

Rome, Italy, Dec. 17.—Soldiers with
fixed bayonets stodfi guard last night
to prevent demonstrators from march
ing on tho Vatican.
Nor was this precaution unnecessary.
Led by radical Socialists and several
republican members of the chamber of
deputies, demonstrators made an af
tempt to break through the cordon of
troops, and xvhen they found they
could not do ao, marched In mock pros
cession.
They carried candles and Intoned the
miserere as an Indication of the death
of clericalism.
“Down With thq Vatican.”
Cries of "Down with the Vatican,”
‘Long live Clemenceau,” and "Long
live France” were heard on every side.
Demonstrators friendly to France and
to the number of several thousand,
filled the streets and took part In the
disorder. They gathered In thA plaza
adjoining the Farneae palace, tho seat
of the French embassy, and expressed
their pleasure at the action of France
In passing the law separating the
church and state.
Garrison Called Out
Aa soon as It became clear that troU'
ble was brewing, the entire garrison of
Rome was called out to protect the Vat
ican. The government made every en
deavor to prevent the demonstration,
and to atop It after It had been started.
The French ambassador, M. Barerre.
received a deputation from the demon
strators, and to them he expressed his
appreciation for the Sympathy dis
played by the people of Rome.
Prince Leads in Disorder.
After this the disorder broke out
afresh and the troops were ordered to
charge and disperse the crowds. Some
of the members of the crowd were In
jured and others arrested. Prince Bor-
ghese was a leading spirit In the dem
onstration.
OFFICER OF SCOUTS WEDS
GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND HIM;
A TEN YEARS’ COURTSHIP
DOG WAS SENTINEL
FOR BUND TIGER
A romance which began neariy ten
years ago when patriotic sons of the
South were enlisting to fight for their
country In Cuba, culminated In a mar
riage Sunday night at the Kimball
house when Miss Teresa O'Malley, of
Columbus, Miss., and Lieutenant Jas.
B. Hutcheson, of the Philippine Scouts,
U. S. A„ xvero wedded by tho Rev. Lynn
R. Walker, of the West End Presby
terian church.
It was when the first call to arms
was sounded away back In 1898 that
Lieutenant Hutcheson 'enlisted In the
army to help throttle the poxver of
Spain In the Queen of the Antilles.
Troops were mobilized at Columbus,
Miss., and It.xvas there that Lieutenant
Hutcheson went from his home in
Montgomery, Ala.
He met Mlsa O'Malley and It was a
case of love at first sight. But not for
long did' the young soldier see his
sweetheart. In a short time he was
aboard a ship on his way to the trop
ics. All through the Cuban campaign
he fought and when he did return to
this country It was only to be sent to
Manila. There he soon made a name
for himself and before long he re
ceived a commission In the Philippine
Scout*.
A few times since he went to the
far away possessions of Uncle Sam
he came home, but not often. But with
thousands of miles between them the
young couple kept up their correspond
ence. Their love did not grow cold and
the lieutenant longed for the time when
he would reach the states on a leave of
absence.
He arrived a fexv days ago from the
Philippines and he then saw Miss
O'Malley again for the first time In five
years. When the marriage was decided
upon Miss O'Malley was In Spartan
burg, 8. C., on a visit. Lieutenant
Hutcheson left Montgomery "ith
party of friends and relatives. She left
Spartanburg and on Sunday the two
lovers met In Atlanta.
Dr. Walker came from West End
xvlth some of the lieutenant’s Atlanta
relntlves and the next scene was en
acted In the parlors of the Kimball
house. The ceremony was performed
at 6.30 o'clock, xvhlle the guests of the
hotel xx-ere at dinner and while the two
were being made one, the orchestra at
tho hotel played Mendelssohn's xved-
ding march. This music excited Inter
est among the diners, but by the time
an Investigation ivas made the couple
hnd been married and ivere receiving
the congratulations of their frlehds.
In the party who witnessed the cer
emony were; Mrs. Fries, of Montgom
ery, a sister of the groom, and hi*
brother. Elliott Hutcheson, of the same
city; Alva Fitzpatrick, a well-known
Montgomery newspaper man, together
with Mrs. Fltxpatrlck, and their daugh
ter, Miss Lizzie Fitzpatrick: Mr. and
Mrs. James Campbell,’ of West End,
Atlanta, nnd Lieutenant John J. Llpop
and Mrs. Llpop. Lieutenant Llpop Is In
charge of the United 8tates army re
cruiting office (n Atlanta and he served
through the Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns with Lieutenant Hutcheaon.

the most unique blind tigers discovered In
Atlantn In a long while.
Satisfied that Ellen was conducting

her house and made a minute search, but
all to no avail. They then searched In the

lack of success.
Finally, however, they walked Into a
