Taft personally, assumed the respon sibility of lnuugiii-aUrig the work and systematically shaping up the practical operations until a degree of efficiency has -been reached that may well as tonish the nations of the earth. Mr. Taft has applied to this world project and history making enterprise those same qualities of careful, thought ful Investigation, penetrating Judgment and absolutely fair dealing, which have made bim so signally successful In the performance of nil those duties of state which have brought him to the high eminence he now occupies as oris of our greatest living Americans. . .'.' Mast Kaow Peraoaally. Like the rhlllpplne'-project and other great work, laid npon biro,., be .has studied the. situation at Pannma at close ranee and trusted to no second band Information' with which to In sure his success. There has been about r.-uoij uiiuiuu uoimrs expended on the work to date nnd Mr. Taft has had to npprove every dollar of this expendi ture. He has not been- satisfied with n single visit to the Isthmus but has innde the long Journey every year so that he mieht direct the ivnrlr mnrp I economically. The result Is that he hns I chanced the situation there from an In hoHpltnhle region to a locality where Americans can live. In healthful se curity without the fear of plagues or dresul of contagious dls'onRes. The rate of mortality on the Isthmus Is about the sume as It Is In our American cities. ' I- - ' ' " . . Stage at l ha Work. v Work op the canal' has' pnssed through two stages, those of plannlas r.nd preparation. It Is now in the thlro and Hun I stngr, that of construction Rotb of the earlier -stages required the presence of a large working force, necessarily quartered In temporary and make shift accommodations. Because of these conditions, inevitable at the outset, early critics of the enterprise mistook the luitinl and temporary out fit for permanent equipment. ThroBKhfful Aboot Labn. Mr. Taft's chief concern has been the proper care of the laboring man on the Isthmus. Undr his patient and ap proved methods the terrible scourge of yellow fever, against which the French struggled in vain, the filthy and pest breeding state of the principal Panamanian towns, the rough labor camps, niul other pioneer hardships of the two first eras, have been eliminated. He b:is accomplished these things through the activity of the Department of Sanitation, the Department of Mu nicipal Engineering nnd the 1 Building Depnrtjncnt. Today we find yellow fever driven 1 from the , Isthmus, the deadly stegomyja mosquito thus ren dered Innocuous, malaria and pneu monia greatly reduced and a high uverng'.' of health prevailing.
