| BraSiP easily ranks flrSC among the
Latin American republics, it's fourteen
million Inhabitants being more or less
widely distributed over territory SO
extensive that, were Texas to be taken
from US and added to Brazil that coun-
try would then be slightly larger than
this country, including Alaska.
To be sure, a considerable por-
ton of Brazil is unavailable for
agricultural development. but it's
mountain ranges are laden with
mineral riches in great variety,
while even the as yet but partially
penetrated Businesses of it's luxuri-
antly tropical jungles, in the delta
of the Amazon and it's thousands
of tributaries, contain immense for
ests of valuable hard wood, rubber
producing trees, and dye woods.
The southern part of the republic
is, however, we'll adapted to the cul-
tivation of, and already produces
considerable quantities of such
semi-tropical staples as rice, tobac-
co, coffee, cotton and sugar. In
deed this is truly a land overflow
ing with the milk and honey" of
possibilities, and promise of future
prosperity, lacking only industri-
GUS, systematic development of it's
naturally vast resources.
It is. of course, we'll known that
Brazil's chief export is coffee, but
it is interesting to note that OF the
twelve million bags of coffee an
nually required for lthe worlds
standard breakfast beverage, Brazil
furnishes eight million, or seventy
five per cent. Naturally the coffee
planters of this country have, in
the past, been exceedingly pros
perous-as this is a product yield
ing handsome returns-but at
present they are in serious pre-
dicament resulting from over pro-
duction, an evil which recent
reports show the government to be
endeavoring to remedy by vigor-
GUS action along lines similar to
those lately urged by Mr.. Bryan
land others) in connection with
the railroads Of our own country.
That the problem is knotty one
to untangle, yet most vital to the
interests of Brazil, can be realized
from the fact that, some two or
three years ago, when the writer
visited the immense warehouses
at Santos and Rio de Janerio they
we're even then filled to the limit
of their capacity with over twelve
million bags of coffee and new crop
just ready to harvest-in fact would
have to be harvested at a dead loss
for expense of labor involved as
the crop has to be picked each
season or the plants cease bearing.
If Brazil seems to have oppor-
tunities for grand future, how
ever, what adjective can express
the possibilities before that vast
portion of the Southern continent
thru which flow the two great
tributaries of the Rio de la Plata
the Rios Uruguay and Parana-
comprising the republics Of Ar
gentine, Uruguay, and Paraguay,
with their one and quarter mil
lion square miles Of fertile pampas,
or prairie land, highland grazing
grounds, and over-laden mountain
ranges?
Situated at too great a distance
from the worlds great market
places, and further handicapped
by the necessity of sending it's
products across the burning equa-
torial line, no serious effort has as
yet been made to compete with
the Northern grangers today feed

naturally segment stability Of gov
eminent sufficient to guarantee to
foreign capital the degree of secur-
lily necessary to it's diversion from
the profitable channels now alb
sorbing it.
| Keenly jealous of one another,
and peculiarly suspicious of any
thing not thoroughly understood
by them, it is. perhaps, but natural
that Latin-Americans should look
with disfavor upon the theories of
Monroeism, but to assume that it
cloaks colonial, or even confedera-
tive ambitions upon the part of
Uncle Sam, is but little short of
absurd. This nation has more
important affairs of it's own to at
tend to than would be the policing
of Spanish America, and by the
time we need an outlet for our
overcrowded population the great
Southern continent may well be
in condition of over population
equaling our own. On the con-
trary, the real mission of the Mon
roe Doctrine is to stretch forth an
assisting hand in an effort to in
duce these toddling children of
the South to walk alone. To what
extent Secretary Roots diplomat
ic assurances have convinced them
of this fact, however, remains to be
seen notwithstanding the fatter-
ing, almost triumphal reception
everywhere given him during his
recent remarkable junketing trip
for the Spanish-American is
nothing if not tickle, and usually
proves faithless lover.
That the motives of the Monroe
Doctrine are entirely philanthropy
ically unselfsh should not be
inferred, however, for tho water
power is abundant in many parts
of South America, and coal and
oil are known to exist in quantities
sufficient for fuel purposes when
required, it's manufacturing estab-
lishments are as yet in embryo,
and those necessities and luxuries
not produced by the native un-
titled soil are all imported.
That closer political affiliations
with the Southern republics should
result in the expansion of our
commercial relations with them is
but natural and is the only recon-
pense contemplated under the
teachings of the Monroe Doctrine.
Even this recompense cannot be
hoped for in any great measure
until such time as the passage by
our Congress of ''ship subsidy
blll-or it's equivalent-shall have
placed our mercantile navy upon
a footing more nearly equal to
that of the maritime nations to
whom we are now forced to pay
heavy tribute for practically every
ounce of our immense export trade;
and when that time comes is it
not probable that the United
States would get Spanish Ameri-
cas- trade, anyway, or at least so
much of it as would be desirable?
You will note the qualification
Of the question: is important,
for unless the removal of a few
rails from the top Of our protect
i've tariff fence "a structure de-
signed to meet conditions no
longer existing) demonstrates the
ability of our now fairly we'll grown
industrial infants to successfully
compete with foreign manufac-
turers, not only abroad but

but strictly surface miners, the
Incas, lavishly tho they used the
precious metals. But here, as in
any minerally wealthy region,
many obstacles are to be overcome
difficulties which only enthusi-
astic and skilled persistence,
backed by unstinted capital, can
alone hope to master, tho Chill
has already overcome these diff
culties to an extent enabling her
to ship abroad in 1908 "a poor
year, at that over eighteen mill
lion dollars worth of copper, alone.
In a manufacturing establish
ment when certain part of it's
product falls below a given stand
ard as to either quality or guam
tity it is usually found to be the
fault of some machine or it's oper-
ator. In the foregoing brief re-
view of it's natural resources it has
been the writer's aim to show that,
with few minor repairs in the
matter of more honest and capable
government, and if we'll fabricated
with the oil of foreign capital, the
huge Equatorial ma
chine is equal to almost any de-
mand that can be made upon it.
But how about the present opera
tor? Is he capable OF intelligently
manipulating the intricate mech
anism if it be put in frst-class
running order? Undeniably he is
not, and for reasons presently
obvious.
Turnout Latin-America is to be
noted a marked absence of that
important, so-called middle class"
to whom is due So much of the
credit for the rapidly developed
prosperity Of our own nation, pa-
tive society being divided into but
practically two classes-the aristo-
Gratis, hereditarily untitled and in
stinctively too indolent to stoop
to place their own shoulders to the
wheel of commercialism, and the
poems, too ignorant, and too lazy
to, of their own violation, do more
than barely enough to provide
with the exceedingly
moderate supply of clothing and
food rendered necessary in a trop-
ical climate where at least the
necessity last mentioned is SO
literally provided by nature.
OF Spanish and Portuguese de-
scent, mixed with native Indian
and some Negro blood, the native
Latin-American proves his mixed
lineage and tropical breeding in
every line of his swarthy features,
in his quick, treacherous temper,
and in the fact that, in common
with his Latin brothers the world
over, he becomes conversationally
powerless the moment his hands
are tied behind him. If to this
be added the statement that he
has, to superlative degree, be-
come inoculated with the peculiar
ly tropical virus of procrastination
"a poison which is found to quick
ly sap the energy of even "Yan-
kee hustler" if resident for any
length of time in torrid climes-

composite portrait of the native
Spanish American, but also an ex-

How Judge Lindsey Saves Boys.


THE old proyerb: IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,
istdemonstrated by the juvenile court
81 Denver beyond the shadow of a
doubt. Judge Lindsey's description
a how he came to start the paroling
system of delinquent juveniles is
MOST interesting. His heart was
moved by the walls and lamentation
of the Italian mother of a sixteen
ydar- old hoy, sentenced some years
ago to the reform school. He sus-
pended the sentence, out of pity for
this wildly weeping woman, who
chung frantieally to her boy and
moaned in agony at the sentence,
never pronounced, because there was
no need of twas never regretted.
The boy simply appreciated the lem
iency of the court, and reformed.
The judge kept track of him and the
family, and never had cause to wish
he had acted otherwise. If one boy
would reform and cease to regard
himself as an outcast, and an lsh-
mael against the world, why not
others? This thought started the
juvenile court, now spreading as did
gentleness of treatment in the insane
asylums, kindness in the penitentia-
| ries and humanity in war The won
| der is that the most essential of all
| the saving of the tree by protecting
the roots should be the last of the
much-needed reforms.-El Costello
