BRAZIL CELEBRATES 24th
ANNIVERSARY OF REPUBLIC

BraziPs chocolate soldiers will pa
rade to-day through streets decorated
in green and yellow, the national col
ors, in celebration of the twenty
fourth anniversary of the overthrow
of the republic.
With the exception of Cuba and
Panama, giant Brazil is the youngest
of American republics. Brazil became
free and independent in 1922, but
princes of the Portuguese royal house
continued to reign as emperors until
the fifteenth of November, 1889, when
Dom Pedro II, abdicated after a
bIoodless revolution. The present
President of Brazil, Marshal Hermes
da Fenseca, was inaugurated three
years ago to-day and has just one
more year to serve. He is the eighth
Brazilian president, the first having
been Marshal Deodore da Fenseca,
who resigned soon after his election
and was succeeded by the vice presi-
dent, Don Floriano Peixoto. DR..
Prudente de Moraos Barros served
two years, followed by DR.. Campos
Sales, and in 1902 by DR.. Rodriguez
Alyez. President Alfonso died in Of
flee in 1903, and DR.. Milo Pecanha was
the dead of the state until the cleo
ton of Fenseca.
The Estados Unidos de Brazil is q
federative republic of twenty states,
one territory and a federal district.
Under the constitution each of the
states is practically a law unto itself,
without interference from the federal
government save for it's defence and
for the execution of federal laws The
president is elected for four years by
a direct vote of the people. No pres
ident may be elected to succeed him
self, and the constitution also prohib-
it's the candidacy of any man who is
related by blood or marriage to the
president or vice president. The SEN
ators, sixty-three in number, and the
members of the house of deputies, 212
in number, are also elected by direct
vote. The elections for president and
lawmakers will be held on the first of

The railway system of Brazil, almost
non existent at the beginning OF the
republic, now has about $4,000 miles
of lines in operation. When it is con-
sidered, however, that the area of Bra

the country remains undeveIoped and
