The Porto Rican question is still
unsettled and no settlement is in
sight. There is no possibility of
uniting on Mr.. Beveridge's plan.
His action, considering all the cir
cumstances, could hardly be re-
garded as in the interest of har-
mony. 1t goes without saying that
the administration and the Repub-
lican members of congress are ar
nestly and honestly seeking to solve
this question in a manner that will
be best for the people of the United
States and of Porto Rico. Assuming
that to be the fact it is their duty to
stand solidly together till some plan
can be devised on which they can
harmonic. When such an agree
ment is reached Republicans every
where should accept it as the best
settlement of the case that can be
made at present. Both patriotism
and loyalty to the party dictate this
course.
