President Roosevelt is “dee-lighted” as he watches men dig along the canal route. On a nearby sign, the words “Wanted!! More Picks!” combined with the dust obscuring the workers indicates that the job is going to be done quickly. However, some of the hats that peak up above the dig are labeled “Overseer” and “Gang Boss.” A teddy bear leans around Roosevelt and peeks through binoculars.
