After reading Theodore Roosevelt’s editorial comment on Hayden Talbot’s article in The Outlook, Joseph Bucklin Bishop says that he read Talbot’s article on the Panama Canal before it was published. He tried to get him to change the statements that Roosevelt criticized, but he left them in. Bishop believes that the change in leadership at the canal will be pleasing to Colonel George W. Goethals. Bishop hopes to see Roosevelt before he sails for Panama.
