PLUTOCRACY RULES
CHILE, SAYS BABSON
BY Roger w. Babson

SANTIAGO, Chile, (By MALL
But from what I have said do
not get any exaggerated idea OF
the Chileans. Although they are
greatly in advance of Venezuela
ans, Columbians, Ecuadorians,
BoIivians and Peruvians. yet
they still have many Of the South
American weaknesses.
The Chileans are not exactly
lazy; but far from active. They
still resort to that overworked
Latin-American word "manana."

Yet we must not be too critical
Of these people. Had we been
upder the Spanish yoke for -four
centuries and had our savings
stolen from us as fast as we &C.
cumulated anything would we
have ever formed the habit Of
having?
One Is surprised to see so
little cOlored blood In Chile.
Instead of 90 per cent of the
people being very dark, as In
the case In the other west
coast countries, 90 per cent
are as white as ue people of
Chicago. Strict immigration
laws Of Chile forbid the me-
groes, Cinnamon and certain
other races from enetring
the country.
Chile threw off the Spanish
yoke about 1920 as the wave of
independence swept over South
America. For about 10 years
there was a succession Of revolu-
tions and dictators, followed by
an era verging on anarchy. Az
last this reign of license was
checked by Diego Portales, q man
of very superior powers. He al
once formulated the "Constitu-
tion OF 1893" and organized the
Chilean nation along conservative
lines.

Work Of Great Benefit to United
States in Construction Of Canal.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, April 6.-Practically
unnoticed at the time it occurred was
the passage of the first French vessel
thru the Panama canal. 1t is a singu-
lar fact that altho the French govern
ment began the canal and built large
share of it and the relationship of the
French to the worlds greatest artifi-
cial waterway will always be matter
of historic interest and importance,
scarcely any attention was given in
this country to the first use of the
canal by ship flying the French
colors.
The merchant ship Saint Andre, in
passage from Tahiti to Glasgow, was
the vessel to make the trip. She was
laden with $500 tons Of ores. 1t was
some days ago that the Saint Andre
passed thru.
No official recognition was taken OF
the passage of the vessel, just as none
has been taken of the first vessels of
other foreign nations making use Of
the canal. But at points along the
way, individuals gave evidence of their
appreciation Of the nation which had
so important a part in the canals con-
struction.
French Spend Much.
The French spent close to $3.50 600, :
600 on the isthmus and lost 6,2S3 lives
in their attempts to build the canal
Hundreds Of the men who lost their
lives in the French service are buried
in the cemeteries on the isthmus,
where since have gone to Join them
hundreds who continued their work
under the American flag. The French
regime was from 1881 to May 4, 1904,
and the American regime dates from
that time. The French and the Ameri-
can losses of employees by death in the
construction of the canal have been
about equal
1t is not always appreciated how
much of the work Of the French on the
canal was of use to the Americans.
The line of the French canal was
much the same as that of the present
canal. A considerable part of the
French work has been of use to this
country OF their total excavation of
7S,146, $50 cubic yards, 29,90S,O00 yards
were useful to the American project.
Other important features Of the French
work were their surveys, borings,
photographic records, the erection OF
the Ancon and Colon hospitals, erec-
ton Of Gorgona, Paradise and Mount
Hope shops and drydock, establish I
ment of residential villages all along
the line and the assembling of a great
deal of railroad and excavating equip-
ment, much of which is in service to-
day.

CHAPTER XIV.
An Amariean Girl.

1
The Marquise d'Esclignac saw that
she had to reckon with an American
girl. Those who know these girls
know what their temper and mettle
are, and that they are capable Of the
finest reverberation.
Julia Redmond was/ very young.
Otherwise she would never have let
Sabron go without one sign that she
was not Indifferent to him, and that
she was rather bored with the idea
of titles and fortunes. But she adored
her aunt and saw, moreover, some
thing else than ribbons and velvets in
the makeup of the aunt. She saw
deeper than the polish that long
Partisan lifetime had overlaid, and
she loved what she saw. She respected
her aunt, and knowing the older lady's
point of view, had been timid and hest
tating until now.
Now the American girl woke up, or
rather asserted herself.

Poolroom Products.

Thru the efforts of the superintend-
ent of compulsory education OF this
city south side poolroom which
catered to minors has been deprived OF
its license. A report by civic organ
ization upon other poolrooms which
have offended in similar fashion has
been sent to the general superintendent
of police, with the request that sum :
mary action be taken. It Is worthy OF
remark that some of these poolroOms
are situated near high schools.
Doubtless there are a considerable
number of poolrooms in Chicago that
keep out minors and otherwise oper-
ate in conformity with the law and
with decency. It is well established,
however, that many poolrooms not only
directly promote gambling and similar
demoralizing habits among boys, but
thru the encouragement of idleness and
bad associates develop criminals Of the
automobile bandit type.
Chicago can not afford 20 tolerate
hatcheries for young criminals. How
ever, it would be most unwise and un-
reasonable for the community to over
look the need Of its young people for
attractive places of recreation. Suit
able outlets must be provided for their
surplus energies. They must nave ops
portunities for the kind of exercise and
DIVERSION that appeals to them. The
lack of such opportunities in great
measure is responsible for the fact that
lads Of immature years gravitate to-
ward poolrooms and similar resorts.
Neighborhood centers in public
schools, park feldhouses, Y. NJ. c. A.
and church gymnasiums and other
wholesome meeting places must be pros
vided In continually increasing NUM-
bers. Growing boys are entitled to
ample facilities for healthful, we'll dt-
rected and reasonably we'll supervised
