ENTIRE SCILA
Y CARIBDIS

Conforme transcurren los amos, va
haci6ndose cada vez mas dificil la
mission de la prensa en- Puerto Rico.
Hagamos case omiso de las diticulta-
des materiales que agobian la existencia
de los periodicos, pues 6stas han ocurri-
do en- todo tempo son harto conocidas
del pdblico.
Hay otras poderosfsimas razones de
caracter moral, que pesan sobre la plu-
ma del escritor como verdaderas losas de
plomo y lie obligan a sofocar sus natu-
rales impulses.
Son hijas de nuestra situacion actual.
Palpitan, alientan en- ell ambiente que
nos rodea, en- la atm6sfera que nos en-
vuelve.
DesatenderIas, equivale a chocar con-
ira el escollo.
Menospreciarlas, es 10 mismo que
marchar resueltamente hacia esas lobre-
gas y profundas sirtes, abiertas de con-
tinuo nuestros pies por las tempesta-
des polfticas.
I'm tan rudos frances, la suerte es va
RIA, pero siempre triste: unos van al
presldlo, como Izcoa; otros marchan al
destIerro, como Abril, Y muchos Sc ex-
ponen q ser vfctimas de una infame ace
chanza, que hiere en- las tinieblas.
Los periodistas que aplauden incon-
dlclonalmente todos los actos del Go
bierno, y pretenden monopolizar ell pa
trlotlsmo con frases de relumbron, Sc
cobijan bajo ell &rbol que ola mas SOM
bra, no tienen por que temer aquellos V
otros peligros.
Como vierten en- almibaradas frases
ell veneno de la lisonja, Sc les recompen-
sa con honores sonrisas.
Para ellos son los tftulos Y las cru
ces, los destinos jugosos los preemi-
nentes cargos pdblicos. Alfalfa de este
siempre recogen algo: cuando menos las
migajas sobrantes del festfn.
No haya miedo de que sufran perse-
cuciones, nj de que les vigile, con mi
rada fulgurante, el ojo severe de la
justicia. Para que, 81 nunca atacaron
con energfa anejos errores? ST al levan-
tar la yoz indignada, 81 al convertir la
pluma en- arma de combate solo 10 hi
cieron EN- pro de sus particulares To-
gros y EN- beneticio de los que mandan?
Para estos apologistas ell periodismo
es un lecho de flores.
Para nosotros, los que damos dentro
de la region la nota mas avanzada en-
todas las ideas, ell periodismo es un le-
cho de Procusto.

TpTE STORY or a POEM.


One Of the most touching poems on pri-
son life ever written was from the pen
OF Colonel IL. c. Parsons, gifted lawyer
and railroad promoter. who died last
June at his home in Virginia, says the
New YORK Journal. The Sunday Jour-
nal recently printed the poem, and its
publication has brought out an interest,"
ing fact concerning the circumstances
through which ii was composed.
Previous to moving TO Virginia Colonel
Parsons defended young man who was
accused of murder. The evidence was
seemingly entirely against the prisoner.
but his counsel was firm in his belief or
his innocence, and though the necessary
evidence to make that fact plain was not
brought out at the trial. the Colonel sue
caeded in making the jury feel as he did,
and a verdict for acquittal was rendered.
The young man had been in jail for sew
eral weeks. and, after the congratula-
tons at his release were over, his counsel
asked him: well, how does ii feel to be
free?" What the young mans answer
was no one but the Colonel knew, but he
WAS inspired by It to write very beauti-
full poem. which was at the time OF its
first publication very widely copied.
The poem referred to is the following:
THE PRISONER RELEASED.
I could stand and look at the stars all
night.
Where tides run with wreaths to the
rivers and rills;
Where the sea-breezes play with the
wind from the hills:
Where by land or by sea man shall go
where he wills.
1 am free man again. and free man Of
right.
I could stand and look at the stars all
night.
For months that were years they have
prisoned my stars
Ny silver-veiled Venus and red-hooded
Mars
Were fretted and framed by the merci-
less bars
That shaded their glory or shivered their
light.
I will stand and look at the stars all
night,
I will wait in the shadow and lee OF the
tower
Till morning shall come with his magi-
cal power;
Perhaps in the flame OF that wonderful
hour.
The prison will tremble and pass from my
sight.

YOUNGSTOWN. PA, oct 2s.-Just out
side the limits % this borough early this
evening Mr.. and Mrs. Charles kiser. n
young couple of Norristown. were re-
turning from an afternoon drive. when
two men sprang from the roadside and
seized the horses head. The men were
armed with revolvers. and they demanded
of Kiser that he turn over to them his
valuables. Kiser refused and started TO
whip his horse. Thereupon the despera-
does opened fire. kiser was shot through
the arm and his wife through the head
and instantly killed. The murderers
dragged Kiser from the carriage and
robbed him OF mis- watch and money.
They then rihed Mrs. kiser's body OF
her gold watch and made their escape.
kiser dragged himself TO a nearby house
and summoned assistance. He was
l~ought TO his home here. and is badly
wounded. kiser was able TO give the
authorities a good description OF the
highwaymen. and the police Of this
borough and Philadelphia are bending
every effort to capture the bandits.
