to that part of the world Most of tho
great things expected of Cabrera have
not come to pass. Those who are in
position to know declare that this Is
not the fault of the president: that he
is actually obliged to devote all of his
energy to the business of keeping him
self from being assassinated. His enc
mics have dubbed him the Nero OF
modern times," and his numerous exc
cutions OF political offenders lend a
touch of appropriateness TO the title.
Still, II must be remembered that the
Instinct of self preservation Is strong,
A Good Business Man.
Most OF these southern chief magis-
trates have really manifested some de-
sire to snake good" For example,
President Eloy Alfaro OF Ecuador, who
has been the chief promoter and ao-
tive manager of more revolutions than
any man in South America. which is
saying ni9ch. made up his mind that
what his state really needed was a
railroad through the mountains. The
most famous European engineers had
declared these same mountains to be
impenetrable, but Alfaro did not re-
gard their opinion as final. Instead no
capital interested In the scheme and
succeeded. Then he imported n Yam
l5ee engineer ana in an incredibly short
time that wonderful feat known as the
Guayaquil and quito railroad was ac-
complished This work has been OF In
estimablo benefit to Ecuador, and AL
faro deserves the credit. This enter
prlsing Latin American has also
proved hlInaalf IN h.a Aah
IN political matters. He has put his
country on gold basis. paid OFF the
national debt and separated church
from state.
jose Figueroa Aicorta, president OF
the Argentine Republic, ia a scholar
formerly a professor In the University
OF San Carlos, Rafael Reyes, president
OF Colombia. is one of the most famous
and successful explorers OF modern
times. Fully dozen years Of his lie
have been spent in the Interior or the
South American continent He has
made the toilsome journey from ocean
to ocean through the unknown stretch
es OF the Amazon country, crossing
mountains and rivers never before seen
by white man. One OF his achieve

around two young people, a bank clerk and
a beautiful but poor girl, who are devotedly
attached to one another, but who are
separated by scheming villains for most
sordid Of reasons. AS most of the various
incidents are taken from life, the story of
the play is full Of human interest and
there is little in the action of the four
