Theodoro Roosovclt arrived In Omaha from Kan sas 'City at G:45 o'clock this morning, and early as was tho hour, a largo crowd wan on hand, and so was tho roceptlon committee under whose enro Colonel Roosevelt spent the day. Tho address which the ex-prcsldont dcllvorod was heard by a great throng of people. It was aa follows: In traveling In Europ last spring one thin? which especially struck mo was Hie fact that the two fentn which made ttie deepen t Impression abroad were the ciulso of tho battle fleet uround the world, and the digging of the Panama Canal. Thwe were tho two feats to bo credited to tho. American people during the pant decade which had most profoundly nnd favorably affected foreign Judgment of America during that time. Such Judgment depends not In tho least upon what people say they can do, but what they actually do; upon their willingness to meot responsi bilities, nnd the success of their efforts to meet them. Must Have Efficient Navy. Now, there In no use of a nation claim ing to bo a great nation unless It Is pre. Dared to play a groat pait. A nation audi as ours cannot posMbly play a great part In International nffalrs, cannot ex pect to bo treated as n weight In either tho Atlantic or tho Pacific, or to have Us volco nn to tho Monroo doctrine, or tho manngoment of tho Panama Cunal, heed ed, unless It ban a ntrong and thoroughly eftlclent navy. Within tho lost decado tho American navy has been about trebled In strength, nnd much more than trebled In efficiency, duo to Its extraordi nary progress In marksmanship and ma neuvering. Ho for from this Incroaso In naval strength representing on our part either a mennco of aggression to weaker nations or a menace of war to stronger nations, It has told most powerfully for pence. Everywhere In Europo the rrulso of tho battle fleet around the world wan ncccptcd, not only as nn oxtraordlnary feat, reflecting tho highest honor upon our navy, but as ono of the movements which tended markedly to promote pcaco ful stability In international relations. No nation regarded tho crulso as fraught with nny menace of hostility to Itself; and yet every nation accepted It as a proof that we were not only desirous ourselves to keep tho peace, but able to prevent the peace being broken at our expense. No cruise In any way approach Ins It has ever been made by any licet of any other power; nnd the best naval opinion abroad had been that no such feat won possible that fs, that no such cruise as that wo actually mado could be undertaken by a fleet of such slzo with out Innumoiable breakdowns and acci dents. Tho success of the cruise, per formed as It was without a single acci dent. Immeasurably raised tho prestige, not only of our fleet, hut of our Nation: nnd was a distinct help to tho cause of International peace. As regards the Panama Canal. I really think that outside nations have a Juster ldna than our own people of the magni tude nnd success of tho work. I wish our pooplo realized what Is being dono on tho Isthmus. If a mnn of lntolllconce who had novcr left this country usked mo whether I would advlso him to make a short trip to Europo. or a trip to the Panama Canal, I would, without hesita tion, ndvlso him to so to the Pnnnma Canal. Ho would thero see m operation tho completing of ono of the gtent feats of modern times Colonel Goethals and tho men working under him nro render ing n service to this country which enn only bn paralleled In our past history by Borne of the services rendered In certain wars. Wonderful Work on the Isthmus. Six years ago last spring tho Ameri can government tool: possession of tho Isthmus. Tho first two yenrs were de voted to tho sanitation of the Isthmus, to assembling tho plant nnd working force, nnd providing quarters, food, nnd water supplies. In nil these points tho success wan extraordinary. From one of the plague-spots of tho globe, one of the most unhealthy regions In tho entlro world, the Isthmus has been turned Into n singularly healthy place of abode, ' where tho death-rate Is small nnd where hundreds of children nro now being raised under as favorable rondltlons as In most parts of tho United States. The quarters, food, nnd water mippiy nro ex cellent, and the plant tho best ever gath ered for such a purpose. Active excava tion on a large scalo did not begin until January, 1907. Three years and a half have gone by since then, and throe-fifths of the total excavation has already been accomplished. Tho amount taken out has passed anything which previous experi ence warranted us In believing to bo pos sible. In 1908 nnd 1909 the monthly aver age of rock and earth removed wns three million cubic yards, notwithstanding the fact that nine montlis of each year con stituted n senson of very heavy rnlnfall. There remains to be excavated only about sixty million cubic yards. If wo could Keep up tho past average of excavation, this should be dono in twenty monms; but It Ih Impossible to maintain such a rntlo ns the depth Increases; for the out put necessarily diminishes as the field of operation narrows. Still, It Is certain (hat such a rate can be maintained ns will nblo the workers to finish the excava tion considerably In advance of tho date fixed for opening the cnnul, Janunry 1, 1915. Indeed, I ahull be surprised If the canal cannot be opened six months, or even a year In advance of the tlru set. The work hns two great features: The Culebrn Cut. which I have been consider- Ing, nnd the grent dam at CJatitn. Tho latter Is to Imprison the waters of tho Chagres and other streams Into n iHko with an area of 161 square miles This work Is advancing steurtlly, nnd Jut as successfully ns tho work on the Pulebra Cut. The water which la ultlmitely to fill tho lock Is now flowing through the concrete spillway In tho center of the dam, the Chagres having been diverted from its bed and placod under complete control. The construction of the dam has advnnced sufficiently io convince mo en gineers In ohnrgo of tho work of Its ab solute stability nnd imporvlousness. The concrete work on tho lock Is ndvanalng so rapidly that tho first double-set nt Clntun will be completed this coming No vember, nnd the enslneer In chnrgo hns snnouneed that nil tho concrete In nil tho locks will be In place two yenrs honce. The date of (Inal completion nnd formnl opening of tho canal to tho commerce of the world will be determined by the time consumed In placing the great steel gates, emcreeiicv dams, nml all nnnllanrrs for operating the ducks. But thosa In charge I of tho work announca without hesitation thnt everything will bo finished well In advance of January 1, 1915. Noxt Duty Is to Fortify It. This Is n stupendous record of achieve ment. As n poplo wo nro rather fond of criticising ourselves, nnd sometimes with very great Justice; but even tho most pessimistic critic should sometimes think of whnt Is to our credit. Among our assets of the past ten years will bo placed the extraordinary ability, Integrity, and success with which wo have handled all the problems Inherited as the result of the Bpanlsh war; tho way no liao han dled ourselves in the Philippines, In Cuba, In Porto Itlco, In Kan Domingo, and In Panama. The cruise of the battle fleet nround the world wns n striking proof that we had made good with the navy; nnd what we 'havo dono at Panama rep resents the accomplishment of one of the great feats of tho ngis. It Is a feat which reflects tho highest honor upon our coun try, and our gratitude Is due to every man who has taken an honorable part In any capacity In bringing about Its per formance. Wo now havo a further duty to per form In connection with It, and that Is to fortify It. Wo nro In honor bound to fortify It ourselves, and only by so doing can wo effectively guarantee Its neutral ity, nnd, moreover, effectively guaranteo that It shall not bo used ngalnst us. The, chief mntcrlal advantage cvrtalnly ono of tho chief material advantages which wo shall gain by Its construction Is the way In which It will, for defensive pur poses, double tho power of tho United States navy. To refuse to fortify It, nnd, above all, to consider for n moment such on act of utter weakness and folly as to Invite other nations to step In and guar anteo the neutrality of this purely Ameri can work (and thereby really to make It certain that In the evont of war we should find the canal used against us as our fleets would bo forbidden to pass through It, or else our opponents' fleots permitted to), would bo to Incur, nnd qulto ilghlfully, tho contempt of tho world; It would mean the complete aban donment of the Monroe doctrine; It would bo a wicked blow to our prestlgo on tho raclflc; nnd, moreover. It would bo in Its essence treason to the destiny of the Republic. HIE SAFETY VALVE EMERGENCY CURRENCY OFSN TO NATIONAL BANKS.

OLD THEORY IS EXPLODED Women Do Not Want Masterful Hue. bands Who Will Beat Them Now and Then. When its comes to n question of dis position, -says Robert Haven Schauf tier, in his series of marriage articles now running In Success Magazine, 8G per cent, of tho girls In the business world, stenographers, clerks, and so on, would llko their husbands easy going rather than masterful, as com pared with 75 per cent, in tho fac tories. Readers of the flrst artlclo in this series wure perhaps surprised to find nobody demanding In her future hus band what seems to mnny one of tho lndlspensablo qualifications for mar ried happiness; that Is the capacity for comradeship. Not one factory girl mentioned this quality and only a very few girls of business. One bookkeep er in St. Louis added as an after thought: "Ho must treat mo ns a companion; not ns u doll baby." A railroad cash ier was the only one to reason from actual experience: "Say, I had an experience once that gave me a lesson! I was working In the slgnnP tower and there was a man worked thero with mc He was a good looking enough fcllnh. If I'd 'a' known him nnywhere else, I might 'a' took him when he asked me. "Thank goodness I was up thero with him nil day long nnd I had a chance to find out. That's tho way to learn u mnn. If some or those girls that get married could stay all day with a man for awhile, every day In tho week, thero wouldn't be so many mlsmates. "Oh, there wasn't -nothln' really wrong with him, only when his lino o' talk played out thero wasn't anything moro to Bay. We'd olt up there silent as owls. Say, mobbo I wasn't glad when I got a transfer. If we'd been married now, It wouldn't have bees bo oasy to get a transfer." "Washington Secretary MacVcagh's ruling on the term "commercial pa per" In tho trensury department's In terpretation of the emergency cur rency law, haB now becomo known In Its full Import. The way Is mado clear for the banks of tho United States to put Into circulation $500,000,000 In emergency money nt tho first sign of a financial stringency. Tho law pro vides that commercial paper upon which emergency currency may bo is sued shall include only notes repre senting nctual commercial transac tions which shall bear tho names of at least two responsible persons, and havo not more than four months to run. A largo proportion of tho banks hold he notes of reputable individu als nnd corporations which have been bought fiom note brokers. Theso notes bear only tho namo of tho maker. Secretary MncVeagh, has de cided that tho endorsement of the holding bank on such notes will con stltute the second endorsement which the law calls for. Mr. MncVeagh also holds that notes Issued by reputable persons for the carrying on of bona lido business, nnd which are discounted at banks, repre sent nctual commercial transactions nnd are distinct from what Is known as accommodation paper. Tho latter Is Btrlctly barred from being used as the basis of an Ibsuo of emergency currency. In ranking a liberal Interpretation of the term "commercial paper" the secretary of tho treasury holds it to bo what banks themselves consider It, and has endeavored to conBtruo the law so ns to meet the needs of tho business and financial world.
