Panama, City, Panama.
II HAVE just had interview with the
president of the republic of Panama.
l His name is Pablo Arosemena, and he
has now been in office almost four years.
According to the Panama constitution
the president serves for only four years,
and he is not eligible to succeed himself.
the constitution providing that no man
can be a candidate for the presidency
who has been president within six months
of the presidential election. DR.. Arose
niena tried to avoid this provision by tax
ing a six months leave of absence las,
spring and allowing his henchmen TO run
the administration in his stead However,
after Secretary Knox's visit this was
found not popular with the United states.
and the president gae- up the nope OF
second term and came back into Office.
The country is now in the throes OF
presidential campaign. although the new
president will not be elected or inaugu-
rated for some time to come.
A Talk With Arosemena

recommended him to their friends. He
got fair number of local accounts One
person wanted to deposit money with him.
He had difficulty in making him UNDER
stand he was not a banker of that kind
but merely one for the exchange of
money.
AS his local business grew, SO it did
with the West Virginia miners. From
the original 2S, the number grew TO nearly
200. He got some accounts, too. from
group of Hungarians employed in the
brass works at Bridgeport, Conn. He had
made enough progress TO feel secure. so
he hired desk room in an office above the
coffee house. had his name painted on the
window and had letter heads and envel-
opes printed with his name. address and
business thereon. He missed the coffee
house tips for awhile and there were times
when he was very low In finances but
he managed to scrap along. He had more
time to think and to work and he made
good use of it. He rented typewriter
and every spare dollar he had he put
into postage stamps. He wrote hundreds
and hundreds of letters. There are mil
lion Hungarians in the United States.
Probably 1000 of them received letters
from him In the first few months after he
left the coffee house.
He wrote to his countrymen in the
mines about Scranton. Men employed in
the mines In the Pittsbure neighborhood
got letters from him So did 1ungarians
in Ohio and Alabama, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri. Colorado. Wyoming Arkansas
Idaho. Nevada and California. He told
how he had gone into business and why,
and he gave succinct account of his
progress. He did not depend upon letters
alone. but journeyed out TO Passaic and
Paterson, where hundreds of his COM
patriots are employed in the mills. He
went, too, to the great pump works. steel
mills and other big manufacturing indus
tries In and about Newark and to the
sineiters and reflneries IN the neighbor-
hood Of Perth Amboy. Hnstling for bus
mess was not all that he did. He studied. |
Incidentally he kept records Every time
he got a client ne made "a record of the

was employed first when Kovacs had 1000
clionts. There was a bit of sensation
among Hungarians when It was intro-i
duced. No wonder Kovacs announced
to his customers tina, he would cable
their money abroad at no extra charges:
that he would guarantee TO deliver tho
money at any postoffice in Hungary with-
in o6 hours or Its receipt by him, and that
he would guarantee. under ordinary con-
dtlons. to furnish the receipt of the re-
cipent to the sender of the money within
10 days or two weeks of the time the CLIENT
started the money on its journey.
AS Hungarians had been accustomed to-
waiting three weeks or month for ac-
acknowledgements that their remittapces had
arrived safely the innovation had a strong
appeal TO them. 1t served TO add im-
mense to Kovacs's business. He got more
and moro clients In the east, the west,
the north, the south and the middle
west Year after year the number of his
clients grew. When he had 10000 he
thought no had good many: but soon
he had 10000, then 10000. $1,000. 1900,
100000. Now he has nearly 10000 He

books the name and address of all the

When kovacs had been a banker for a
year and a half his business reached a
stage where he had TO have assistance.
He got couple of young men TO help
him. He was very careful in selecting
his clerks. A little later he had to get still
another assistant. This time he had the
rare good luck of engaging one of the
cleverest men that Hungary has sent to
the United States. His name was Barok
He was a great mathematician. n fine
musician, a philosopher and a master of
languages. He was a bit of a dreamer
and could not work according to any set
form. but only as the spirit moved him
He had his way Of doing things, and was
intolerant of system-that is, the ordinary
idea of system. He took a great fancy to
Kovacs, and after a little while he began
to make suggestions for broadening and
improving the business
One of the things he pointed but to Ko-
vacs was that II took altogether too long
to send money from America to Hungary.
There was no reason why it should take
10 days or two weeks. II was altogether
against the spirit of the times. Why not
send 1t In one day? What was the use of
having cables under the Atlantic IL you
did not use them? Expense? That could
be overcome by cipher code With
good cipher 1t would be almost as cheap
to send money by cablegram as by letter
postage. How could such a cipher code
be obtained? Why. 1t could be invented
Who would invent IL? He would

ahve also good soil for rubber, and rubber
plantations are being set out by Ameri-
cans and others. Some of the ex-employes
of the canal have rubber estates which
are already in bearing.

mena- 1.-The climate is such that the cat
tie can feed out of doors all the year
round. and We have three varieties Of
rich grasses to fatten them. Take the
province of Chiriqui in the northern part
of the republic There is a region there
known as the Divila country, which has
many square miles of plains covered with
grass which is dotted here and there with
groves.
THE country is we'll watered, but there
are no swamps. although II rains almost
daily for about eight months OF the. year
Still the rains are short and for the most
of the time the weather is clear. That
land is splendid for cattle and 1t has
more stock than all the rest of the repub-
lie. 1t has already a number of large
ranches and there is room for many more.

When the canal is completed there win be
a great demand for meat from the ships

there should be q great deal of money

places of Second avenue. but no one could
tell him anything about the missing man.
Kovacs wrote back to the bank in Buda-
pest, to the Hungarian newspapers and
to the Hungarian consul. but IL did no
good. One day. in the coffee house. he
stood beside the table at which two ac-
quaintances were drinking, and he in
weighed against the vultures who fattened
upon the poor, ignorant. honest toilers of
his race. 1t seemed to him that there
was a premium upon dishonesty. He
talked with the bitterness that only the
injured can display. The two men at
the table heard him with little patience
They wished he would go away. They
were more destroys OF engaging in a
game of chess than in listening to his
harangue. Finally one of them turned
upon him in wrath.
''Bah!" he said. IF you men are SO
honest and all the others are SO dis
honest, why don't you become a banker
yourself 2"
The words sank deeper into Kovacs'
mind than the man had any, idea of,
for that night Kovacs wrote to the
great bank in Budapest that he had
heard of as the distributing agency of
most Of the money that went TO the
Fatherland. He told of how hard the
Hungarians in this country worked In
factories. in foundries. in mills. in mines
in fields and on roads and how many of
them were swindled out of their earnings
He told In detail OF his own experience
and of the experiences of his fellows He
told of his trip to New York and its
futility. Then he told of the conversation
In the coffee house. and then he asked If
there was any way in which he could
represent the bank in this country, not so
much for profit to himself as for pro-
lection TO others against rascality
1t was nearly three weeks before he
got reply The letter he received was
kindly and sympathetic. 1t expressed
regret at conditions as they obtained.
He was told there was no reason why
he could not act as agent for the men
who worked in the West Virginia mines
where he labored and for others as well.
He was told how he could turn over such
banks in New York, which would trans
fer It to the Budapest institution for de-
livery to- those intended. II would be
necessary for him to become conversant
with the rates of exchange, the methods
of banking and the general system OF
money transfer but this would not be
difficult. and there was no good reason
why he would not be of service to his
fellows and find profit himself. If he was
honest and earnest in his work
Kovacs went that day to the great in
ternational banking house the Budapest
bank had mentioned as its correspondent,
and showed his letter. The men there were
as kindly in their greetings as he could
expect They would handle the accounts
of his fellow workmen or any other
clients Kovacs managed to get. He could
become . private banker and build up
