NEW PORTO RlcAN LAWS,
InsuIar Commission Makes Its Report to
Secretary Root.

Secretary Root.
WASHINGTON, b. G. (Special). The Insu.
lar Commission appointed by the President
some months ago to inquire into and re-
port on conditions In Porto Rico and draft
a code OF laws for the island, completed its
work and presented its final report to Sec
rotary Root.
As to the preparation OF the code the
commission says that certain United States
statutes applying to general subjects has
been adopted. The report says:
"The code will be found to embrace
every subject for u complete government.
and to be a code of laws complete In itself,
supplantiDg or emboiying all former laws
and orders, and applying the common law
and equitable principles as construed and
enforced in the United States"
The commission recommends adoption of
a system OF public improvements through
out the island, regulated by laws similar to
those prevailing In the United States. The
commission thinks that franchises should
be granted wherever proper.
AS to entering upon the work OF a Terri
torial or State Government, 1t is thought
best to wait until the people nave had an
opportunity to become better educated.
The commission recommends that II gen
eral revision Of the tariff rates should be
made at once.

FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION.


ARLINGTON, N. J. (speciaD.-Two freight
cars running wild down a long steep grade
dashed along the tracks of the New York
and Greenwood Lake Division OF the Erie
Railroad from Bloomfield to Arlington, and
as they shot around n curve, travelling at a
high rate Of speed, they crashed into the
engine OF n passenger train bound west.
The two runaway cars and the locomotive
and the smoking car OF the passenger train
were wrecked.
Oae person died soon after being taken
out of the wreck, three others were
seriously injured and more han twenty
ono others were hurt. The dead man is
Arthur Neary, of Jersey City.
The two runaway cars went about ten
miles from the time they broke loose from
the train OF which they formed a part I'M
til they struck the passenger train. So
great was the force OF the collision that
the engine was broken into many pieces,
and the smoking car was lifted from the
tracks and hurled into the air and rolled
down a forty foot embankment, turning
over and over, but not a person in the
coaches behind 1t received a scratch.

1t is always difficult for a young
man to obtain prominence in the
House of Representatives unless he
has exceptional qualifications, be-
cause, under the rules at present in
use, the work of legislation is limited
to a few prominent committees and
these committees are composed of the
more experienced men. No matter
how learned Or eloquent a young mar
may be, his voice cannot be heardt
upon the floor and his wisdom cannot
be felt in the committee-room without
the consent of the Speaker and his
seniors in service. Therefore it re-
luires force of character and personal
popularity to obtain admission 10 the
deld, and when that is secured the
fortunate one must have the power to
maintain himself or he will quickly
slip back into oblivion. Saturday

We Take 1t Back

In our issue last Friday we said
that our mouth watered at the
recital Of the fact that insurance
companies were writing risks away
down 'ew in the large cities OF Mis-
souri,, citing the fact that our
friend John Brown had been insu-
ed for three years on $4,000 worth
of property for $3.50. We thought
this rate cheap enough to please
any one, but il seems the legisIa-
ture of Missouri As also the senate
has passed an antitrust law simi-
lar to the one in our state. lndig-
nation in the state is rife over the
matter just as it is in Arkansas
but the Legislature which is made
up principally of men from the ru-
raj districts that carry no iusur-
ance, they heed not the howl They
have arrayed themselves against
anything bordering on trusts and
will not listen to the men who are
affected by this kind of legisla-
ton.
The governor of Missouri has not
signed the bill yet, and it may be
defeated, as the people have learn
ed from Arkansas experience in
fooling with q trust that is loaded
to explode.
