Never again will our cltlxens consent to see their town with the un tidy and uncared for appearance It now presents. •’Get clean and keep clean" is tbs slogan.

A fact to he remembered now and alwaya I* we surrendered noth ing when we respect out treaty obli gation* at i’anama. We give up nothing when we compel tiie *hl|* subsidy people to take their hands mil ,i l the treasury. W’e zacrifice nothing when we proceed in good faith to operate the canal in Jtme of peace upon equal terms for all. But the great work at the isthmus haa been dedicated to war and not to peace. It frowns with fortifica tion* It bristlea with rifles. In time of war Involving ourselves, it Is provided by law that It shall lie ruled absolutely by an officer of the army appointed by the president. That officer, of course, will lie sup liorted by a great garrison on land 4nd by fleets of battleships at sea. It 10l lows plainly enough that our Investment of hundreds of millions at Panama will not be worth a cent In time of hoHtilitW except as with men and gun* and ships we may be itldc to hold It. By making It a war canal instead of a commercial canal we have elected in time of trouble to defentl the republic at that distant point, Thl* la the challenge that we have flung in the face of the world. In only one way can the folly of this policy be lessened, and that is by scrupulous respect for treaties and hy the jusllce with which we shall administer our trust. If we are to favor one of our own monopolies with ship subsidies, the money must not he openly paid at the Isthmus tn the form of free tolls. If we are to look to the nations of the earth for Ircitv observance, we must not prove talse to the obligations which trea ties impose ui»on ourselves. In spite or the oratory of our over heated subsidy patriots, no other is sue Is Involved at Panama Our In dependence It not threatened by keeping faith. Our sovereignty Is not limited by keeping faith. Our power and dignity are not lessened by keeping faith. On the contrary, all are made more secure, and the chance that any of them will be men aced is made the more remote. Much has been said about our ownership of the canal which Is true, hut possession also means re sponsibility. It Is not to he misused in behalf of a greedy group of sub sidy beggars. It is not to he mis used to promote the enterprises of Jingoes. It is not to be misused for the profit of anybody at home or abroad and to the disadvantage of any country with which we are at peace. • Nations, like men, hold properly subject to certain limitations.
