raE LAST DITCH.


The Puerto Rican question seems %
be the last ditch of the Democratic
party in this campaign thus far They
have about given up the contention
that the constitution extends itself over
Puerto Rico by its own inherent power,
and are not saying SO much about the
new law being meant TO .'oppress' or
tyrannize over poor Puerto Ricans; but
they are harping on the fact that the
President and the Republican party
changed their minds about the neees-
sity of temporary tariff for the
island. A Democrat cannot understand
how anybody can change his mind on
political subjects and be right in the
change. Progress Is an unknown
word in the Democratic dictionary, and
adaptation TO existing conditions an I'M
known policy for the Democratic party.
What the Republican party has done
in the Puerto Rican law Is this: II has
given to Puerto Rico necessary reve-
nue. until such time as the government
OF the fsland-composed partly OF rep
resentatives elected by the people
shall make provision for its own reSe-
nue..
II has given to Puerto Rico practical
free trade with the the United statcs,
and actual free trade as soon as the
island is ready for it, the intervening
period 10 be not more than two years
In any event.
1t has decided that Puerto Rico is
not, and for the present shall not b.,
q part OF the United States in the
same sense that Colorado is a part Of
the United States.
And aside from the law. the Repub-
Hcan party, through its administration,
has given to the island good govern
ment. under which prosperity and hap
pIness will come to the island and un-
der which it viii thrive as II nsvc-
could thrive under Spanish domination.
or under an entirely Independent gov
ernment OF It's own
The Republican party has nothing to
apologize for in It's treatment Of Puerto
Rico.

A little boy in Ohio. cast adrift on
the world by the sudden death of
father and mother. was found by the
Wayside praying for protection from
the hardships seemingly imposed upon
his youth. The gentleman who thus
discovered him, millionaire brewer.
took him home and installed him as
one OF his own. Though not church,
goer. he figured that there could not
be much bad in boy who would thus
show his faith in Providence and final
ly he became convinced himself that
he was simply an instrument OF Proyf-
aenee nsed in answer to a child's faith.
He lately sold out his business and
is now devoting his life and fortune
to the rescue of other orphaned ones.
Little occurrences of this natur. do
not find much space for recital In the
newspapers, but whenever they do get
into print they present a convincing
argument that the world is not SO bad
as might be judged from reading an

erence to the good deeds of mankind
there would be little room left for
criminal and stock gambling reports.

The tenement house committee of
the Good Government clubs. having
effected great improvements In the
housing OF the New York poor, now
presents some figures which must ap-
peal even 10 the greediest OF capital
lists. Buildings erected on sanitary
principles. with plenty of light and
air, water, heating facilities and other
eonveniences, are paying dividends of
from twelve 70 fifteen per cent. while
the squalid and unheatthy dwellings
beside them can hardly be forced to
yield five and six per cent In one
tenement house the average rent of
rooms is eighty-ave cents a week,
and the room has Mt least one window
with clear sunlight. For every tenant
there is running water and steam heat.
together with free bath and laundry
privileges in the basement This
building has never paid less than 10
per cent, while the dilapidated and un-
comfortable houses which adjoin il
pay only per cent Here is some
thing for the landlords to think about.

expenditure of money and has provided
the play with beautiful scenery, rich and

selected a cast of players which contains
the names of actors and actresses who
stand high in the theatrical profession,
at the head Of which will be Grace George,
who essays the title role of Honoria, the
Queen. The play is said to be one Of

DEMAND FOR SMALL NOTES.
Treasurer Roberts Conceives Plan
for Relief,

Treasurer Roberts yesterday issued an
| order which it is hoped will do some good
in relieving the great demand for small
| notes needed in handling the cotton and
the grain crops. Heretofore only gold
certificates. which range in denominations
from so upward, have been paid by The
Government in return for deposits of gold
at any of the sub-treasuries. Mr. Roberts
has ordered that in future 80 Per cent OF
the amount may be paid In small legal
tender notes. The other half will, as usual,
be paid in gold certificates. The Govern
ment would be willing to pay altogether
for gold deposits in legal tender notes or
silver certificates, but it does not have
the necessary supplies of currency In
those forms. The law limits the volume
of legal tender notes to 1916. goo 900. Sill
yer certificates can be issued only against
deposits of silver dollars.
Director Roberts, of the Mint is coin
ing large volume of S. and $40 gold
pieces. and those could be used in lieu of
the small notes in handling the crops,
but gold is not demanded in the Middle
West or South, where paper money is pre-
ferred. An additional reason for not us
ing it there is that the banks would have
to pay considerably heavier express rate
on gold than on notes and. therefore
they are calling for the latter.
Assistant Secretary Fanderiip, of the
Treasury, returned yesterday from a trip
to New York. He was comforting there
with bankers in regard to the famine in
small notes. He does not consider the
situation serious. II is partly due to the
high price which cotton demands, and
the increased volume of money necessary
to handle it. 1t is probable that after the
first Of next month the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing will increase it's output
of 81, $2 and s. notes from 256,0G0 to
2SS,0 600 notes per day.
