having shown her prowess on the seas
by quickly demolishing the Spanish
fleets to the wonderment of the whole
of the European powers, now is the time
to show to the world that the United
States predominates in industrial push
and energy by constructing the Nicara­
gua canal with as much dispatch as
possible. To construct the canal on the
installment plan is altogether to slow
for the progressive and go-ahead west.
That might do for the east, but we are
not built that way out herein the north­
west. Perhaps this is the only way the
big railroad corporations can head the
matter off, for an appropriation of only
