In a recent issue we gave an account of
the school in practical agriculture which
was being inaugurated in the Buys Charity
Institution. With many acres of uncul-
tivated good ground gone wild and to waste
the idea suggested itself to the Charities
Director to give the wards of the island an
opportunity to learn practical agriculture. An
expert was called IN and the gro n examined
and estimates made. To place under cul
tlvation all the ground in the rear Of the
Boys Charity Building and to furnish an
instructor skilled in American and Porto
Rican farming will cost less than $4,000.
An appropriation will be asked for from
the next legislature. We have had a
thousand lectures on the benefits to be
derived from the agricultural education of
our people, treaties have been written on
the subject, and any true glory which we
may ever attain it has been claimed, can
only come through our agricultural pursuits.
The chance for the Legislature to prove
this is at hard. At a cost of less than
% 900 you can open new school in every
day farming pay an instructor and grow
enough garden truck and farm produce to
feed every inmate of the Boys Charity
building. Oar Legislators should make
note of this and remember it when the
legislature meets. Out off couple of easy
jobs and give the money to the boys in
the charity school. Help them to help them.

SANJUAN, NOVEMBER u
Editorial Comment.

It looks like az il our merchants com
mission in the United States had made
serious mistake. Instead of reading in the
States papers Of commercial agreements and
business understandings between our repre-
sentatives and leading American merchants,
we see statements to the effect that our
foremost citizens and most responsible
thinkers believe that we are fit for statehood
and ready for it as we'll. Nothing can be
a, far from the truth as this statement
Sent to the United States to cement com
merclal alliances with the COMM rc:al world,
towiien already opened markets t. ou'
merchants, to open new ones, ard to intro
duce our produce and capabilities to the
merchant at home, it seems that our Com
mission has lost sight of the advantages to
be gained by commercial pre-eminence and
reputability and has taken dip into, the
political areana.
The concensus OF opinion amongst
citizens most fitted to ju 'ge of cur capabil'
iiy for statehood or even territorial form
of government is against any such sugges
tion, much less the actual Inauguration Of
such form of government. Hardly out
of the kindergarten class in American 60
vernmental lessons, it appears that some oil
our political citizens are anxious to skip the
school and collegiate courses and to become
post graduates at once. Porto Rco is moi
now ready for statehood and will not be
until the following chaoges have taken
place.
When political parties are founded upon
platforms urging public benefits and good
governmental programs.
When all rioting and scenes of disorder
connected with our elections cease.
When our newspapers are free from pre-
judice and partisan spirit.
When every boy and girl in Porto Ricc
can read and write the English language.
When the Commissioner OF e lucation
cln say his work is done.
When Federa!s and Republicans can live
ia the same town without fear of physical
injuries.
When Alcaldes and Ayantamientos have
learned that public offices are public trusts
and not private "mameyes".
When our American residents become
permanent electors in the Island of Porto
Rico, and not disinterestel Investment see
kers.

A concerted contest against the United
States is advocated by the Industrial Union
Of German Manufacturers, whose trade is
dwindling rapidly, not only under the stress
of American competition, but as result Of
the bad economic conditions in the German
Empire. But the latter condition is largely
disregaded and the American spectre is held
responsible for all thu hardships manufac-
turers are enduring Not only the European
export market for German manufac. urers has
been lessened, but Germany itself is con-
stantly invaded and the improved goods and
lower prices of the United States cut
sharply into the home trade.
The silly statement has been made by ore
German manufacturer that United States
detectives were In Germany for the purpose
Of watching factories and discovering trade
secrets. "Tfustsn in various industries
have sent representatives abroad TO develop
foreign business, and that is the only basis
for such charge. There is one remedy
which the. speakers did not touch on that
could be adopted with gsater results than
