PORTO RICANS PARDONED
Charged With Having Stolen a Forty
One-Cent Shirt.

The President has granted pardons to
Jose Martinez. Herminia Pacheco, Agueda
Rodriguez and Antonio Torres, prisoners
confined at MayagueZ, Porto Rico, charged
with larceny of property of the United
States and held to await the December term
of court in default of $500 bail The prop
erty alleged to have been stolen was a shirt
valued at Al cents. The acting attorney
general recommended pardon on the
ground that 1t was an unusual hardship
to compel these prisoners to remain in jail
in default Of bond for so trifiing an offense
until next December, and on the further
ground that the Imprisonment which they
have already suffered Is sufficient punish
ment even conceding them to be guilty.
He has commuted to expire Immediately
the sentence of John w. Hicks, now under
going Imprisonment of twelve months in the
Halifax county Jail. Virginia, for Illicit dis
tilling. The prisoner has already been con-
fined nine months, and his sentence is COM
muted on account of the destitute condition
OF his family and his own i'll health.

MI. Putnam's Views.

Spe4ADs directly on the advantages of
having The Congressional Library open on
Sundays. Ar. Putnam says:
The opening of the library OF Sunday
during the hours named is desirable. At
present the entire building IS closed from
IL o'clock on Saturday evening until .
o'rio~k on Monday morning No visitor
may have the enjoyment and instruction
OF the art within it: no reader may have
the recreation and instruction of the books.
This = a serious deprivation. First to the
ordinary resident of Washington, whose af-
fairs preclude the use Of the library on
Secular days. second. to the thousands of
me; d.i women employed in the govern
meEt service who, outside Of their official
hours. are studying 70 improve their educa-
tiut for more advanced work. and third
to visitors and students and investigators
from distance. who find their opportunity
for the enjoyment of the building and the
U.s. Of IL contents prohibited on the day of
the week on which they wOuId be most at
traCitve and most convenient.
~ hen 1t is considered that the yearly
maintenance Of the library and building Is
over quarter of million dollars and
thst the expenditure Of SI00Op more would
enable the library 10 be open on Sunday

it, must be regarded as falling with

Woman Suffrage in st. Thomas.
In view Of the discussion concern
ing the purchase by the United States
of the Danish island Of st. Thomas
in the West Indies, it is interesting
to note that leading men Of Denmark
have addressed the king, ministers
and parliament, in confidential and
earnest petition, urging that no de-
cisiOn concerning the sale Of the
island shall be made until the people
of the island itself have expressed
their desire by popular vote. This
petition urges further that women
shall not be excluded from an equal
share in this popular vote. The wo-
men suffragists Of Denmark have
coOperated with the promoters of
this movement, and have secured
large number Of signatures Of prom
inent women in the kingdom.
A proposition so just should meet
the unanimous approval of all fair
minded men and women In the
United States. The cooperation of
Denmark and the United States in
securing the opinion Of the men and
women Of st. Thomas before com
pleting the purchase, would be far
more in harmony with up-to-date
democratic ideas than the imperlalls-
tic policies which have obtained in
past centuries, and which are yet
much in evidence. The United
States Is based distinctly upon the
proposition Of self-government, and
surely the simplest form Of seIf-gov-
ernment should be that by which a
people will express their choice Of
nations to which they are willing to
become dependent
