TAFT IHE BUILDER
Oils Directing Hand Has Insured
Success of the Mammoth
Project.
Raised" "Wages of Isthmian Laborers
.by Longevity Order While War
Secretary.
The' Panama Oanal is one of tho
?frentcst achievements of nny Repub
lican administration.
As Secretary of War, Hon. William
HI. Taft personally assumed the rcspon
'sililllty of Inaugurating tlic work and
systematically shaping up the practical
operations until a degree of efficiency
has lieen reached that may well as--tonlsh
the nations of the earth.
' Mr. Taft has applied to this world
project and history making enterprise
those same qualities of careful, thought-
fill lnvesflritlon. penetrating Judgment
.and absolutely fair dealing, which have
snade him so signally successful in the
performance of all thoe duties of state
which have brought him to the high
eminence he now occupies as one of our
greatest living Americans.
Mint Know 1'crnonnll.r.
Like the Philippine project and other
sront work laid upon him, he has '
.studied tiie situation at Panama nt
3oso range and trusted to no second j
lhand Information with which to In- J
.Knrojils success. There has heen about
j-iilnery-Tnllllon dollars expended on the '
a work to date and Mr. Taft has had to
.Approve every dollar of this expend!-1
-ture. He has not been satisfied with
a single visit to the Isthmus, but has ,
made the long Journey every year so j
that he might direct the work more i
economically. The result is that he has ,
changed the situation there from an in
Jiospltabic region to a locality where ,
-Americans can live In healthful se
curity without tho fear of plagues or i
.dread of -contagious diseases. The rate '
.of mortality on the isthmus Is about ,
ithQ.MUpfls It is In our American cities, j
SiiiKci of (bo Work.
Work on tho canal has passed
through two stages, those of planning
nnd preparation. It Is now In the third
' nnd final stage, that of construction.
Both of the earlier stages required the
ipresenee of a largo working force,
mecessarlly quartered In temporary and
'make shift accommodations. Because ,
of these conditions, inevitable at the
outset, early critics of the enterprise !
mistook the Inial and temporary out
fit for permanent equipment.
ThroiiRiitfu About I.abnr.
'Mr. 'Taft's chief concern lias been the
proper care of the laboring man on the
Isthmus. Tinder his patient nnd ap
proved methods the terrible scourge
of yellow fever, against which the
Trench struggled in vain, the filthy and
pest breeding stnte pf the principal
Panamanian towns, the rough labor
camps, and other pioneer hardships of
the two first eras, have been eliminated.
He has accomplished these things
through the activity of tho Department
of Sanitation, the Department of Mu
nicipal Engineering and the Ilullding
Department. To-day we find yellow
lever driven from the Isthmus, the
deadly stegomyla mosquito thus ren
dered innocuous, malaria and pneu
monia greatly reduced and a high
average of health prevailing.
Miminioth C'oiiftti-iic'tlon I'rnjeut.
President Kooovclt nppolnted a spe
eial coinini.sslon to examine the Ihth
milan situation last spring, and it re
tported Aug. 0, 100S. According to this
special report there were at work at
the Isthmus April 0, 100S, 120,118 men

a total of 33.103 men nil told. Housing
this Industrial army in quick time,
with due attention to sanitation and
hygiene, uas a problem which would
have been beyond most men. But Mr.
Taft did It successfully.
To keep the machinery and tools In
condition, three largo machine and re
pair, shops, two shipyards and numer
ous warehouses nre maintained. When
wo recall that this enormous plant 1
operated nt n distance of 1.3S2 miles
from Its nearest base of supply, New
Orleans, nnd l,9i5 miles from Its main
liaso of supply, New York, we can es
timate with more Justice and accuracy
tho magnitude and complications of the
undertaking Mr. Taft has conducted so'
well.
Worklnicmen Apprcclnto Tnf.
He lias succeeded In Impressing labor
on the Isthmus with his kindly Inter
est in Its behalf. On this point the'spe
cial commission's report says: "From.
the outset we were strongly Impressed
by the spirit of good will and loyalty
or. me employes The general
sentiment of the workers was expressed
in tno words or a mechanic, in one of
the conferences which we held with
representatives of different trndes. Said
he: 'We want it understood that we
are American citizens and that we are
proud to have a share In this great
work. Wo believe the government Is
treating us right, and we are as much
Interested to see this thing n success
as anyone.' This spirit of loyalty and
Interest in the work was evidenced on
many occasions and should bo account
ed as an asset of the highest value to
the government In the accomplishment
of its colossal, task."
Taft Itnlxei Wiine.
On May 1, 1007, as Secretary of War,
Mr. Taft Issued a longevity order mak
ing liberal nnd appreciate Increase In
the wages of various classes of work-
i men, ns follows:
"All employes not native to the trop
ics who occupy tho positions herein
designated shall bo granted tho follow
ing Increases In pay for length of con
tinuous service on the Isthmus : Five
per cent of the basic or class rate for
the second year, with accumulative ad
dition of three per cent of the basic
rate for each subsequent year; pro
vided, however, that such cumulative
increase shall not exceed a total of 23c
of the basic rate."
In other words, Mr. Taft made It
possible for every American laborer or.
the Isthmus, by remaining there and
working, to Increase his wages 23 per
cent and nt the same time have a per
manent position. These men also get
four weeks' vacation with pay, every
year and Mr. Taft favors making the
vacation six weeks with pay. ,
CluuiKu Would Ha Dlnnatrona.
Ill the performance of this work the
United States Is under tho scrutiny of
the ertlre world, especially of our
neighbors In Central and South Amer
ica, before whom we must mnko goqd
our profession of high social nnd in
dustrial ideals. It would be a national
calamity to jeopardize the present lib
eral progressive policy that Is so suc
cessfully constructing the Panama Ca
nal. Mr. Taft is the one man to coa
tlnuo this great work to the end.
It will uot do Mr. Bryan any good to
claim to be the heir to tho Roosevelt
policies. No one has ever succeeded
ij breaking Mr. Rooso volt's will.
Mr. Bryan insists that the Republic
an party has adopted or adapted all of
his policies. In that case why should
he be trying to uefeat tho Republican
party?
Mr. Bryan will uot discuss the ques
tion of negro disfranchisement in the
south, but ho hopes the northern ne
groes will vote for hlra without letting
tho south know anything about it.
