In Southern Republics

Topics of Political Importance.

may later on impel him to make a
further announcement in continuation OF
the present plan, and a promise to this
effect has in reality been made
The plan. so far, is to have a board
composed of President Butler, Editor
Albert Shaw, of the Review of Re-
views" and President Finley, of the
University of the City of New York
award a total of s225, in three prizes
Minister Barrett suggests 800. s75, and
200 as the sums to be awarded The
board of award is TO arrange and pro-
nulgate the terms and limitations of the
My study of the Latin-American ma
tons and people, says Mr. Barrett
has convinced me that there are nc
serious obstacles to the evolution o;
the closest and most lasting mutual
good will and friendly interdependence
The differences of language and blood
are after all. not so serious as often
described, and can be entirely counter.
balanced by cordial effort on the part
OF the people of the United States to
understand and appreciate Latin char
acter, processes, and methods of life
business, and politics.
Americans to Blame.
The greatest barrier to achieving this
end SO far has seemed to me to be the
absolute ignorance prevailing among
the greater portion Of orr educated mel,
and women of the United States as to
the real Latin-America. In a thousand
ways this has been brought home to me
IN the past five years of my diploma tic
experience. On the other hand. the
average Latin-American has a far bet
ter knowledge of the politics, people,
history, and material progress of TIE
United States.
Let US, therefore, take measures TO
reciprocate and SO increase this inter
est. The present is most opportune for
1naugurat1ng a new era in the study OF
Latin-America. because under the Adj
ministration of President Roosevelt and
his announced policy. in whom and
which the Latin states have great con-
hdence. remarkab bic progress Is sure to
be made in evolving better interna-
tional relations.
Another Offer Next Year.
Il wish that the students of our coll
leges and universities would take up
the study of the Spanish language as
they do French and German. and IN an
other year I hope to offer correspond
ing prizes 10 promote the study of that
tongue. which in the future may be
more useful to the young American
than either French and German"
Thus is Minister Barrett going TO show
his interest in the Latin-American re-
publics and teach young Americans
how to love their southern neighbors
as brothers. Much interest is felt in
II by the South American members of
the Diplomatic Corps here, and they
praise highly Minister Barrett's liberal
ity.

Good things are coming out OF Panama
at last, after all the years or trouble
which France had with the isthmus
while trying to construct canal. and
all the fears which cautious American
statesmen have had since this country
obtained possession of the canal zone
The good news comes from a diplomatic
source and being verified by the one
who knows most about it, is not sub
ject to doubt or contradiction
Minister John Barrett, at Panama. is
the authority on which the news is given
publicity. Since his early experience in
the Orient, his participation as delegate
in the Pan-American conference of 1901
1902, and his brief service as minister
to the Argentine Republic before going
to Panama, Mr. Barrett has been stu
dent of world politics. and no one has
more thoroughly approved President
Roosevelt's assurances to the South
American republics, in his last annual
message to Congress, that this country
has no land hunger" So, to inculcate
In American minds a better knowledge
of the southern nations and emphasize
the Presidents words by increasing good
fellowship, the minister TO Panama has
offered real money prizes to the extent
of several hundred dollars to reward

How It Will Be Done.
To enlist the people of the Southern
republics, Minister Barrett has written
TO the ENJOYS of those countries at this
Capital, informing them of his offer to
President Nicholas Murray Butler, OF
Columbia University, New York city.
He says be is Offering prizes for papers
and essays on the relations of the
United States with Latin-America in
the hope that such a step may lead to
closer and more general study among
the coming citizens of the United States
of the history and institutions. as well
as the social educational, political ard
material development of our sister Latin
republics.
Although it cannot be gainsaid that
the offer of Mr. Barrett is most at
tractive one for young students of
America. he leaves the impression that
he is not telling ali of his story at one
gasp On the contrary, in his letter to
one OF the prominent members of the
diplomatic Corps, he says that this.

SENATOR STEWART MAKES
NEW PENNIES FROM OLD
Determined That childrer Shall Have
Bright Coins in Their Stockings,
Santa" Cleans Up Rusty Ones.

Senator Stewart, for many years
known as the Santa Claus of the Senate,
presumably on account of the long
white beard which reaches from his
chin TO his waist, has, according to
story recently circulated, a right TO the
title that comes from something a great
deal more tangible than flowing whisk-
erS-
According to the story the Senator
might have been seen a few days before
Christmas sitting in small and stuffy
room helping his wife fill the stockings
OF a number of poor children
After buying many little presents for
the children he was not satisfied, but
thought he could be of more use still.
So, thinking of the days when he was
a boy, and how he loved the bright
pennies that happened to come his way,
he decided To I'LL the toes of the
cllildrens stockings with new cents.
Not to Be Had
To think WAS to act. So getting his
hat and coat he started out TO get IS
bill changed into cents of 1904 mintage.
AT this point several ladies who were
assisting II the work of charity inter
fered. saying he could not possibly get
that many pennies at such a late hour.
This argument was not to be gainsaid.
So the Senator took off his coat and sat
down to think a way out of his diff

Trying to think out the problem his
eyes fell on a little iron bank on the
maptel belonging to one Of the chill

in a moment he had the bank in his
hands. and was trying his best to get it
open. In this he WAS presently success

When he examined the money he
found only about half were anywhere
near bright and shining. AS none but
bright and shining pennies would do,
the Senator took upon himself the task

Mr.. Stewart made his first attempt at
cleanliness By rubbing the coins on his

other place on which to shine his coins.
He tried successfully his sleeve. the
carpet. and his coattaiI. but at each
point his wife made MIN desist
Finally with soft cloth and some sill

rolling off his forehead. he got down
to business and in the course of an hour
or SO he had large heap of nice, new,
shiny pennies at his elbow.
Then, and only then, did ne stop and
rest. with the satisfaction that comes
from a good job well done.
