President Roosevelt struck several popular chords on his tour through tho south. Now, If ho will act up to them on his return to Washington much will be forgiven. A motorist who was fined for speeding says lie feels "that $25 was little enough for the fun." Evident ly it would be well to raise the rate in some Instances. Illinois Republicans will eventu- ally learn that Senator Collum is never so busy In Washington that he overlooks a "loose board" In his politcal fence at home. It will probably bo a little awk ward for the Republican party to go into the next campaign without a pay-roll conroction with the life insurance companies.

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 ol iht* task that fcds been undertaken 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. " * Is all go - 1 N b'»dy 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. question In opposition to*.

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.
