CONFLICTING VIEWS.
White President Roosevelt
thundering away before a Jackson
ville audience last Satunta/ telling
It how we advanced the work upon
the Panama canals and how easily
the canal is to be constructed,
member of the commission which
was sent to Panama to investigate
the matter and report back was tell
ing what an appalling Job Uncle 8ftm
has taken upon his shoulders,
stated that It would take years and
years to complete the big ditch and
that it would cost millions upon mil
1= ns of dolla.s.
President Roosevelt, m his Jack-
.n.nvlllf speech said that ifc would
piobabiy be built for less than was
originally anticipated. He stated that
while difficulties were bound to arise
he expected the greatest discourage
ment to come from those wtr &
hearts who would go there and re
turn home with sensational stories
about conditions lot re or wo . .d
w;‘te letters home that wo.i'd over
d-.w the facts in the case. The pres-
Went was parclcul*rly severe upon
hose Who hesitve I In the orestr.ee

at Panama and he expressed the be
lief that the people as a whole would
not yield one Inch until the water
way was completed.

objects to the president’s drormi-
nation in ihe matter. He may in
spire others with some o*.' hit* vim
•itid unyielding spirit. It seem4 that
that is Just what is needed now.
It Is hard to believe too, that condi
tions In Panama are any less than
they have been painted by the ex
perts that have visited the scene.
It is heap easier for Mr. Iloosevelt
■it in ihe White House and ted
what is going on In Panama, or wh?t
ought to go over there than It Is to
o t and do a little of tre active
work himself. Mr. Roosevelt ha a
reco f u of oualllng under difficulties
and v lug things that were calculat-
l to d'seonrage others.
He was not a great deal younger
than l e in now when he signed tho
famous "round robin” n4ar Santiago,
cQmplAiptng of the condition of the
soldiers who had been hurriedly sent
there on an emergency of war. Con
ditions were different from what they
are a* Panama and the mission was
different. Who doubts that If the pres
ident were nt Panama he would not
be Just ns emphatic in describing the
difficulties as he is now in telling
how they should be surmounted? Ho
ii one of those natures that fly from
one extreme or the other. He Is very
much dee-llghted at the way things
aro moving or he is very emphatic
in telling why they do not suit him.
Biu there Is no reason to disbe
lieve tho members of the commis
sion who are talking of the difficul
ties of the great task. They point
out fume ways for lessening these
difficulties and one of them Is for
fie government to let the work out
by contracts rather than try to do it
itirlf. Government work usually
ec.sk about twice as much as work
di ne by private contract, and there
Is not so much haste In doing It. The
work on the big ditch In Panama will
d»ag along for many weary years if
ti rued over to government officials
and grafters to carry It through.
President Roosevelt has shown a
disposition^ to di regard the red-tape
doings of the government officials In
starting off the work on the canal
and It Is to bo hoped that his empbat
1c declarations, In regard to the
promptness with which the work Is
to be done means that he is going
to continue to work by the rule of
"do It” rather than go by the red
tape route.

WHY TURN IT DOWNf

stock In the tight which Is being
waged between the Journal and that

noticing, however, the spirit which
has entered the Journal’s war upon
railroads and the men who here in
vested-their money In property of
thls .sqrt. In its Issue.of yesterday,
the Journal Jumps on tho Constitu

Why should any one wish tp turn a
deaf ear to what may be jaid of
them? Why should any jiG^rspaper
wish to turn down that side of the
discussion? t
It looks to us like an indication
of weakness when one side If afraid
to hear the argument of the; Other—
when the traducera of railroad inter
est would muzzle those who dare to
utter a word In behalf of these great
corporations. It is the discussion of
these questions which brings out
the truth and informs the people of
what is going on. To cut off discus
sions shows that some body is
afraid to hear the facts In th? case.
We say this much wlthout.>trylng

her sister in Philadelphia, she met

with ardor her native state and
