and particularly Judge Ramos OF the
San Juan district court, whom IL &C.
cuses OF gross immortality and mis-.
conduct In Office. For these assaults
upon the integrity of the San Juan
court an action Of libel was begun
against the editor OF the paper. the
case being taken to Arecibo. a neigh.
boring town, for trial. AT the con.
clusion Of the trial the editor of the
News was acquitted. He celebrated
this event by making his attacks upon
Ramos more bitter than ever The
friends of the judge then got up n
demonstration to protest against the
course of this newspaper, About .
thousand people took part in the de-
monstration, assembled upon one of
the plazas. discharged fire works and
made inflammatory speeches against
the editor of the News. Threats had
been made to destroy the plant. but
police precautions had been taken to
prevent any sucn attempt.
From what has been said you will
see that the situation here is anything
but satisfactory from an American
point of view. II anyone in the states
imagines that the people of Porto Rico
as a whole take kindly to American
rule. and are contented with their
lot. he is laboring under a mild sort
OF delusion. AS a matter of fact, the
people of this island do not consider
themselves as free and do not appre.
ciate what has been done to make
them think they are TO have an active
participation in the government OF the
country, and that they may ultimately
become full-nedged citizens of the
United States. For my part | sympa-
thize with some. but not with all, OF
their grievances. One of the things
which creates discomfort is the unde.
fined status of the people, which pre-
vents them from claiming that they
are citizens Of the country to which
they owe allegiance. To remove the
friction which now exists between the
Americans and the Porto Ricans will
be the work of time. but 1t is to be
hoped that 1t will gradually disappear
when both races arrive at a better un
derstanding of each other.
Yours Very Truly.

Sundays Ball Game.

Lewistown fans took advantage OF
the fine weather Sunday for a prac-
tice game on the home grounds and a
large crowd enjoyed the sport. The

Washington, Nov. 17.-The annual

er of the civil service commission,
shows that during the last fiscal year
there were 6O,55S people examined III
and for the classified service,of whom
4O,5O9 passed and 1925 were appoint
ed, promoted or transferred. In addi-
ton, LIZA, persons were examined
for the Philippine service, of whom 4SO
passed and 694 failed. The local
boards of examiners especially desig-
mated for the custodian service were
discontinued. On June 80 last the to-
tai number of local boards of exam
iners was 1,12S with a total member
ship of 3,723. Final steps are now be-
ing taken to conSummate the COM

The girl at the general delivery win

quiry: Say, is they anything for the

Looking through the window she saw
a boy, with big, brown eyes, just on
level with the shelf outside.
She took down the package of let
ters remaining in the general delivery
box, looked all through them, then
shook her head, and the boy turned
away with a disappointed look.
In the afternoon, after the crowd had
left the office, he came again and called
up the girl: rs they anything for the
Jenners yet?''
The girl shook her head, but he was
not convinced. Look for Bobby Jen-
ner," he said. Maybe you didn't look
for that name"
She knew there was no such name in
the package of letters, but to humOT
the little fellow, she looked carefully
through them and answered, kind
ly: Not yet; perhaps it will come to-
morrow"

came to be a familiar sound in the post
office, and the clerks listened for it
with much amusement, but the girl
at the window came to dread it.
She was haunted by the mournful
look that came into his eyes every time
she shook her head, and tried to con-

and I want it pretty soon, too. I've

I'm just tired of you shaking your
head. l am The defiant little voice
ended with something very like a sob.
The girl at the office window was ac-
customed to hearing complaints from
people larger than Bobby, who wanted
their n.aI and wanted it pretty soon,
too: but none of them had ever affected
her as this one did.
She came through the door into the
outer office, and taking Bobby's hand
asked, kindly: Had you written to
someone TO send you something's"
Seeing the look of sympathy on
her face, he told her all about it.
