A BRIEF 0 OF
THE REAL GUATEMALA

The institutions Of ti1is Country,
it may be asserted that, based as
they are on the modern principles
of Liberty and Progress, they are
prominently adapted for aiding
in the attainment of the prosper
ity to be anticipated from the ma
terial resources already described.
In regard to administration, as
is very natural, and as happens
not only in young countries, but
also in those that count centuries
of existence, errors have been
committed, given rise to great eX-
aggerations sometimes to be eX-
planned by the struggle of the
forces of conservatism to stop all
progress, and of others to the
want Of experience, natural
enough under the circumstances,
and in a people that has been sub
jected for so long a time to colo
NAL rule a rule which for its own
preservation deemed it advisable
to keep the masses of the popula-
ton submerged in the grossest
ignorance, and in Guatemala, I'M
fortunately, this traditional sys-
TEN was perpetuated after the in
dependence; until 1871, when
owing to the efforts of a few en-
lightened patriots, the nation was
emaneipated from that species OF
moral slavery to which it had
been condemned. Then comHscn-
ced a new era.
The separation of church and
state, was practically accomplish
ed almost from the moment of the
triumph Of the movement, which
advanced proclaiming the esta-
blishment of a Government that
should be founded upon the prin-
ciples of true and ample liberty
and strict justice.
The Government that sprung
from hat movement, at once di-
rected its particular attention to
that principle which constitutes
the foundation of liberty and JUS
tice: namely, the consciousness
which every citizen should have
of his obligations, as well as of
his rights, in order to be able to
comply with the first and defend
the latter; and education and in
struction being the only means of
implanting this consciousness, one
of their cares was to provide for,
and make obligatory elemental
and secular education, and the
successive governments since that
time, have not ceased to pursue
this laudable and patriotic object.
Secondary and professional edu-
cation has been reorganized, adop-
ting for this purpose the most mo-
dern and approved methods; but
to President Estrada Cabrera the
actual ruler, belongs the glory Of
having been the one who has la
boured, without respite or inter
mission, to place Guatemala in
this respect on an equality with
the nations OF the highest civiliza-
ton.
The Technical schools that have
lately been established, in the
chief towns Of every department
r certain, in the curse OF time,
to produce results of the very
greatest Importance for the diffu-
sion of knowledge in all quarters
of the Republic.
But education has not been the
only object of the solicitude of
the liberal Governments since
1871. Owing to the progressive
measures which they have order
ed. Agriculture, Commerce and
Industrial undertakings have aug
mented on a very considerable
scale. Financial institutions have
been established and increased.
Telegraph service has been
inaugurated and extended sonti-

were exported. Ten years age
the expectations were about one
third that amount.
The waters of the Pacific battle
the shores of Guatemala for a dis.
lance more or less of two hundred
miles, and on the Atlantic side
the coast line extends for about
one hundred miles.
The distance between the two
Oceans across the land is appro-
Ximately two hundred miles, and
this is also the average distance
! between the frontiers of Salvador
and Honduras on one side and
Mexico on the other, so that the
Central Highlands form almost a
square with an area of 10000
square miles.
Coffee is cultivated on a large
scale, occupying an area OF 101, 400
~hectareas, more or less, and the
crop, after producing for the
needs of home consumption, fl
cures as the principal article OF
expectation with an annual aver
age yield of IS million pounds.
The Guatemala Coffee obtained
the only Grand Prize at the Pana-
ma-Pacific International EXPOSE
ton, in fair competition with
coffees from all over the World.
There is a reason: the Guatemala
coffee is the best of all!
There are seven large Banks in
Guatemala, with a combined ca
pital of over thirty million dollars.
Cocoa is grown in the country,
without the need of cultivation
same as occurs with Rubber.
Corn is cultivated in sufficient
quantity for home consumption.
The climate and soil are splendid
ly adapted to its culture and could
be raised for export in large guam
titles.
Guatemala exported products in
1914 amounting to SIS, 174,486,
gold. Germany, United States
and England were the three large
purchasers, in the order named.
Tobacco is grown in a small
way only, yet the quality produc-
ed is equal to the very finest Gu
ban leaf.
Fibrous plants are found in
abundance.
Guatemala has 7,848 kilometers
Of telegraph lines, operated from
363 offices.
The population Of the country
is about 100000; the greater
part of which is OF pure Indian
blood.
The cotton and wool weaving
industries, and the art of the pot
ter are progressing, though slow
ly.
Sugar is made in sufficient
quantities for home consumption
and is now exported to some ex-
tent.
Cotton grows splendidly, but is
not cultivated in sufficient quaint
ties to supply the demand of the
country.
Fruits of every variety known
to every cline may be success
fully grown on the various alti-
tudes of Guatemala.
Guatemala has 439 miles of
railway, not including street rail
ways.
Guatemala imports, during 1914,
amounted to so, 795, 400, gold.
United States, Germany, England
and France in their order being
the largest sellers.

is unnecessary for the students of
Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Den
tistry and Engineering, to go out
OF the country seeking further
light as they have all modern me
thods, native and foreign teachers
of repute, and their libraries have
all that has been written on sci
ence and their scientific cabinets
have instruments and apparatus up
to date.
But it is the formation of the
moral character and the civic
conscience which the Govern
ment is after. They want to make
citizens of the children, at school,
so when they grow up into men
and women, and the destinies of
their country be left in their
hands; Guatemala can be properly
lead into the concert of civilized
nations, be loved and respected,
and true happiness will be enjoy
ed by the inhabitants of the Repu-
bic.
That has been the aim of Presi-
dent Estrada Cabrera his constant
dream, his sole desire. For him
the pen is mightier than the
sword; the private citizen is
worth more than the militar.
He was the creator of the Min
erva festivals, in which the best
children of the schools are given
diplomas and medals, which will
encourage them in the following
scholar year, to study harder and
to behave better.

Georqia Governor Commutes
 Sentence to Life Imprisonment
MOB THREATENS EXECUTIVE
Martial Law Proclaimed When Crowd Marches on Home-company of Militia Called out-Attaek Made
 on Troops - RIoter Injured,

Alta -ta.-The death sentence im- posed on Leo NJ. Frank for the mur- der of Mary Phagan was commuted to one of life Imprisonment by Gov ernor John NJ. Slaton, and Frank is now in the State Prison at Milledge- vile. The Governor was guarded in his country home by battalion of the Georgia National Guard because of the strenuous efforts of crowd variously estimated at from 1000 to 2.0oa persons to get at the Governor to show their disapproval of his ae- tion. The soldiers formed a eordon about the grounds, and martial law was declared in radius of half mile of the place.
 The crowd which was estimated at from 500 to l 000 when t left Atlanta after listening to speeches denouncing the Governor, reached his country place, greatly augmented by strag- glers gathered in on the way, and hooted and jeered him, crying: We want John NJ. Slaton, Georgia's traitor Governor!" No attempt at violence was made, however.
 Late in the evening a battalion Of the Fifth Regiment arrived in automo- piles. The officers shouted to the crowd that five minutes would be al. lowed for it to scatter and leave. As soon as this order was heard and the soldiers advanced with fixed hayonets. there was a rush to get away and the hooting of the Governor stopped
 As the members of the crowd re- tired they threw bricks ag the soldiers and struck several. Lieutenant Parker being badly hurt. Several of the rioters were prodded with bayonets, and one man, Clyde Burroughs was smashed over the head with the butt of a rifle and badly hurt Burroughs's skull may be fractured.
 There were many persons from Marietta in the crowd, who were very bitter against the Governor and urged the rioters to defy the militia. Mary Phagan was born in Marietta and was buried there.
 When informed that mob w0s on it's way to his home, Governor Si3t9n said:
 "The mob can come and tear me to pieces. but l will know that l have done what should be done to follow the right and uphold the honor of Georgia and the office hold.
 "The ones who are bowling the loundest now are the very ones who six months from now, will be the first to approve my action. I could not hang any man when there was a doubt of guilt"
