The argument made by local news
naper which claims to represent insular
interests, that the Federal authorities
were looking out for the national gov
ernment and rightly SO, seems to dispro-
We those claims. The attitude OF the
national authorities on all former oc-
casions also seems to indicate that the
statement is an incorrect one.
The Federal authorities should be
made to understand that in purchasing
the Danish Islands there are simply
buying a naval station and coal1ng
s.ation, and that they are paying Tor
three islands which have never been
able to support themselves, which have
| been an unusual expenditure to the
Danish government all along. In
fact so much have the islands cost the
Danish government that recent visitors
to the islands state that fully one
half of the private. planters OF the
islands are indebted to the Danish gov
ernment for sums of money loaned to
them Of course one can readily see
that the islands are poverty strlken
without this proof. Invest ten dol
lars and take trip to st. Ihomas, or
ese interview everyone who returns
from such a trip, and the report made
by all will be the same.
Surely every fact shonld be taken
nto consideration in finally deciding
his business. The time for Congress
to carefully investigate is now when
the Danish Rigsdag is playing baseball
with the treaty.
The people of Porto Rico should
not spend their money in investigat-
ing why the Senate refu 3ed to to appro-
PIRATE, but should send delegation
to prove the worthlessness of the
Danish Islands. Get rid of that pur
chase idea, and then talk dollars and
figures to the Senators and Congress
men. It will not do any good to have
Commissioner Degetau ask questions. Il
might prove more helpful to show facts
and figures respecting the Danish
islands, and their resources.

SAN JUAN, MAYO 2
The San Juan
Free Library

The San Juan Free Library is doing
better work, and with less ostentat1on
and noise than any other free 1nst1tt1-
ton in Porto Rico. Work that will
have a most lasting effect and which
will surely do more good towards pro-
per1y moulding the character of boSh boy
and girl in San Juan, than any other in
f1uence that we know of. What makes
the work of the library most significant
is the fact that the youngsters who are
nightly to be found there go Of their
own free will, uninhuenced or persuaded
by the parental authority or rod.
Every night from fifty to hundred
Youngsters, of both sexes may be seen
reading and studying at the tables.
Childrens stony books and text books of
all kinds and in both languages are plac-
ed at their disposal, and they certainl.
seem to make the best kind of use of
them. There is no skylarking, no play
ing or wasting of time, but every boy
and girl seems to be heart and soul in
the book The room is the q 1ietest in
San Juan.
Surely this library is entitled to more
encouragement than 1t is now rece1v-
ing. The report which was published
in the BoLETIN sometime ago gives one
an idea of the increased importance OF
the institution Books can be had to
take home on payment of the price 0
the volume, simply as a deposit to be
returned on return of book. There is
also every other known facility for
persons who use books or are interest
ed in libraries. The works of reference
are many.
In spite of all conveniences offered,
and notwiths .anding the efforts made
by the librarian we still see that the
majority Of readers are to be found
amongst the youngsters Grown up
men and women in San Juan seen 10
use their time for other purposes. This
may be said to apply especially to
the men.
When you ask fellow why he gam
b1es, or why he spends his nights in
the bar rooms, the only answer seems
to be there is nothing else to do" If
the San Juan Free Library was not
open to the use of whoever felt disposed
to enter it, one could readily believe
this answer. In the face of the open
door on San Francisco Street, all ex-
cuses for the existence Of rum shops
and gambling resorts fail. Walk into
the library any evening at eight o'clock
and find cut these things for yourself

The Danish Islands.

AL these delays and difficulties
which have interfered with the transfer
of the Danish West Indies to the Unit
ed States, begin to look like warnings
to the officials at home to think many
times twice before taking possession Of
the islands by the payment of tie pur
chase price. The jugglery of the Danish
parliament and the Christmas charges
in Congress should all tend to open The
eyes of the national legislators to a
proper realization of what is going
on. Why are the islands being bought:
In all this demand for the purchase
of the Danish Islands there has only
been two really valid reasons why the
United States should have them, and
these reaons have always been open to
argument and contention. The first
one, that ST. Thomas or Charlotte ANA.
lie, eould make a good port fer naval
Station has been open to much doubt a.
discussion, and the second that the isl
ands must be purchased to prevent fo-
reign power from purchasing them
seems to have been a poor exc Sc in
the Light Of the Congressional attitude
on the Cuban question
The BoLETlN has always been o opos-
ed to the purchase of these islands
because they will, certainly interfere
with Porto Rican progress, they will
surely cause legal and political COM
plications to arise which will entlanger
the Porto Ricsn tariff regulations which
are now more than satisfactory to the
island, and because they may bring
forth another decision from the Supreme
Court which will again change the
status of this island and its people.
An other reason is that their acquisi-
ton may take away from San Juan the
naval sta.ion which it has SO eagerly
sought
Ii can be Hell understood that in
looking for naval station the Federal
authorities are not thinking of deyelo3 D
ing the resources of any particular
people, OF state. but at the same time
the possible aid which might inciden-
tally be given to a portion Of American
territory might institute fact which
should have some weight in influencing
the final decision Of the authorities at
