one is set for the second Sunday in
July. There are two candidates, one
of whom might be called the admin
istratiOn candidate. This is Pedro DiaZ.
formerly governor of Panama, and
quite recently treasurer general. He
is an able man and popular one The
other candidate might be called the
Theodore Roosevelt of the republic
1t is Dr.. BelisariO Porras. the former
minister to the United States, and a
man well known in Washington Dr..
POrras belongs to the people, and he
flocks with the masses. He has had a
lot of trouble during his candidacy, and
his enemies have resorted to all sorts
of tricks TO prevent his nomination and
election Among these was the theft
of some notes and official papers from
the Panama legation at Washington.
The notes contained the rough draft
of the policies he expected to follow
out as president which included a re-
organization of the police, with an
American at the head. They were pub
lished and il was thought that il
would injure the POrras party in the
campaign. In addition to this the men
who stole his papers planned TO bring
suit against POrras for allowing his
papers to be stolen. It was claimed
that they were a part Of the public
records and that no officer of the re-
public should allow the records to be
taken away.

Real Estate at Panama.
What opportunities have you out
side of farming2'
There is a great deal of money to
be made in real estate" said the pres
ident. With the completion of the
canal there is sure to be a demand for
farm lands and plantations of various
kinds. There is steady rise in real
estate values also both at Panama and
Colon. 1 have property here which IS
worth ten times what I paid for it
few years ago, and 1 have put up
building at Colon which cost me only
$1,000 and which has been netting me
500 per month in rents. That prop
erty is now paying for the building
every year. ] know OF buildings here
in Panama which are doing as well.
Rents are exceedingly high and We
have a number of men who have grown
rich out of their real estate deals. We
have several milliOnaires and some OF
them have incomes of over $4,000
year. The Panamanian minister at
Washington receives something like
$4,000 per month from his real estate
investments, and 1 venture that Mr..
EspinOza Of this city does equally as
Well"
Banks Which Pay Dividends.
And then there is a great deal OF
money in banking" continued the
president. You can loan here all the
money you have on good security, at
s or Q percent. The old rate of in
terest used to be "A percent, but we
have cut that down by establishing
our national bank, which makes loans
on real estate at percent, and on
jeWelry and other collateral at 9 per-
cent. That bank has a million and a
half capital, and its net profits last
year were $4,000. The other banks
make more.
What is Panama doing to open up
the interior of the country"
Not as much as we could wish"
replied the president. we have some
roads and we expect to build more. We
have had plans for railroads, but the
time is not yet ripe to build them. All
that will come, and tn the end we shall
be a thickly populated land"
Gold and Pearls.
How about your mines2"
I'VE have some gold mines working
right here in the central part of the
isthmus, and there are others at Oar
len. We know that we have copper
and other minerals, but the country
has not been thoroughly prospected."
How about your pearl fisheries?"
They have produced a great deal in
the past but We have not been taking
care of them and they do not yield
what they did. I have been interested
in pearls myself, and my father sold
one pearl for $4,000. 1t weighed %

- ANAAIA CITY, Panama. july g.
- have just had an interview
with the president of the re-
public of Panama. His name is Pablo
Arosemena, and ne mas now been in
office almost four years. According
to the Panama constitution, the presi-
dent 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
mena tried to avoid this provision by
taking a six month leave Of absence
last spring and allowing his bench
men to run the administration in his
stead. However, after secretary KnOX's

gave up the hope of a second term and
came back into office. The country is
now in the thrOes Of a presidential
campaign, although the new president

met president Arosemena in the

known here, the government palace.

Panama republic and its prospects and
president Arosemena said.
Il am enthusiastic over the future of
Panama. It is the baby Of the nations
the youngest of all of the republics. 1t
is still in its sWaddling clothes, and IS
just beginning to grow. Look at what
we are doing Take the city OF Ban
anna It had only 10000 people nine
years ago, and it has now $1,000. It
Will have $4,000 as soon as the canal
is completed. Colon, at the other side
of the isthmus, had 5000 population
when you made your deal with the
French. 1t has 1900 now, and We
have other towns which have greatly
increased"
But will not this population drop
when we stop our work on the canalF'
I asked.
q think not" replied the president
Col GOethals says the United States
may have to keep soldiers here to the
number of 0,000, and also that it will
take $500 additional employees to run
the canal These people will spend
great deal Then we shall have the
tourist travel, which is already COM
ing by thousands. That will steadily
increase. 1t will give US a stream of
travellers passing through and drop
ping dollars into Panama and Colon.
Why, take your own people All OF you
Americans will certainly want to come
to see the canal. There are 9O,OOO,OOO
of you, and even at as low as a dollar
apiece that would give US S9OOOD'OOO
to start with. If you should spend
$40 apiece the amount would soon

is no reason why we should not 90
likewise"
DO you not think that the Ameri-
cans will have cities of their own
here?'
Very likely So There will probably
be a great business city at Balboa, but
that will be in the swamps, and while
twill contain the warehouses and great
stores, it will hardly be fit for the
hotels and the residences. Panama
will be the Brooklyn, the residence

which will go back and forth In five

Chances for Money Making.
But has Panama nothing else but
hotels to offer TO the world?"
She has a great deal more, said
the president. The Panama republic

tropics. and by modern sanitation the
most Of it can be made one of the
most healthy. It is now open to settle

stairway to the second floor At the
top of the stairway we waited until
our cards were sent in, and a moment
later were ushered into the long mar
row parlor which forms the audience
room of the mansion. This parlor is
furnished strangely for this land Of
the tropics. The floor is covered with
a warm velvet carpet, the windows are
yelled in hOt-looking curtains, and the
gold-plated furniture is upholstered
and hot. At each end of the room is
great mirror in a frame of gold and
over the windows hang lambrequins
from gold frames.
We waited but a few minutes, when
the president entered. He is a lean
dark faced, black eyed man Of medium
height, and he weighs, should judge,
about $50 pounds, light He is "A years
old, but is still in his prime. When
the minister introduced me 1 was sur
prised to hear the president address
me in English. He speaks that tongue
fluently and it was in English that our
conversation was held. The first part
of it related to the political situation,
and I asked as to whether there was
any danger of a revolution in case the
administration candidate should be de-
feated.

No More Revolutions.

There viii be no revolution here"
said president ArOsemena, and the day
OF revolution is fast passing away as
far as the whole of Latin America is
concerned. As for we Panamanians We
have given up such fOOlishness, and we
expect to have no revolutions for all
time to come. I think the same will
be the case at no distant date through
out South America. It is already so
with Peru and Chile. We have now no
revolutions in Argentina and Brazil,
and it will soon be so in Columbia and
Venezuela"
How about Central American"
asked
THAT eventually will be the case
with Central America, although I can
not say when. The people of some of
these countries have had so many revO-
lutiOns that they may be said to have
acquired the revolution habit, and it
viii be some time before a condition
Of permanent peace can be established
there Nevertheless, Central America
is improving, although the several re-
publics composing it are not so free as
ours. We Panamanians have more lib

the cattle can feed out of doors all

THE country is well watered, but
there are no swamps, although it rains

all the rest of the republic. It has
already a number of large ranches,
and there is room for many more.
