The .PO||O Rico Sun.

The much heralded first issue of the
Porto Rico Sun, morning daily came
out this morning. The general plan OF
the Sun follows closely along the lines
of the average morning paper OF the
middle class city of the States. Harris
Linden White is its manager and Ar
thur Doty Risley, a young newspaper
man of much experience, is the editor.
Ordinarily the birth of the Sun or
paper of its character would not be OF
much significance orElmportance, espe-
cially in a community such as this
wnere the number of periodicals, almost
exceeds the number of readers. In
view, however Of the status Of affairs on
the island to-day, and of the peculiar
situation which exists with reference to
the press, the Sun must be hailed by
every impartial citizen as the first step
in the eradication of filthy journalism
from the field of preference in Porto
Rico.
In it's initial editorial the Sun lays
THE excuse Of its birth to the fact that
there has long exis. ed il Porto Rico greaall raall
which will give facts, unblemished o.
luusullied by the stamp of personal ran
cor, or partisan bitterness. Facts, nc
matter. how unsatisfactory they may be
Ito any individual or individuals, are
always honest, and a fair publication Of
them is what the people of Porto Rice
have been waiting for.
Although to a certain extent riva
tof the Sun, and naturally bound to be
its competitor in business, the BoLETIN
greets the new paper, and extents to i
the hand of friendly brotherhood II
Ievery effort and attempt it may make
10 purge from the newspapers and jour
mails Of the island the intense bitterness
and unfairness that is made part O
almost every item which has appeared
lin the leading morning paper of the
island
We compliment the Sun on its decla-
ration of support for the government
that is in SO for as the government con
ltinues its policy of fairness and justice
/ Judgment on the action and not the IN
dividual is the most honest judment
deposition without reason or right does
more harm than good.
We hope that the Sui improves with
age, and ripens with every work vel
done.

The TIU|h About Ih0I
Rio PietNS AINiT

A careful investigation of the Rio
Piedras disturbances on Sunday AMI
account of which was given in morning
contemporary, shows that there never
was any such thing as disturbance at
Rio Piedras, and that at no time on
Sunday, as mentioned by the said paper
was there any necessity for police in
tervention other than the ordinary duty
of keeping the streets clear. 1t seems,
according to the police account, that the
socialistic party was to hold meeting
at Carolina on Sunday.
+ The police had made arrangements
to have proper force on hand at that
place to prevent any disturbance. In
stead of the meeting being held at
Carolina, however, il was held at Rlo
Piedras without any notice to the
police.
The orators congregated crowd n
the Plaza and made speeches. Severa
Republicans who were on the outside
of the crowd were kept away from the
Plaza by the police The Republican
, in leaving shouted for their party
, Thereupon the police ordered them t
: their homes. This order was obeyet
| without the slightest delay and no fur
5 ther disturbance than this occurred

The silly season always sets the diplo-l
matte banquet humming. 1t is then
that the spectre of Russia particularly
aflicts the prophet. Korea, the Per-
sian Gulf, the Bosphorus-these are ever
present possibilities; to them we are
told to add stealthy move by way OF
Finland, around the North Cape, and IN
a moment is effected what Peter the
great could never effect annihilat1on
Of Scandinavian nationality. Recovered
from the shock of this vision, we are
told that Premier Kuyper Of Holland is
visiting the chancelleries of Europe
and that there are alliances IN hand
which will set the balance of power
portentously a-quiver. A few calm
words of the Premier dispel this phan-
tasrn. but all the time "a wor cloud
is gathering in the Balkans. The Alba
nian rnountaneers are found to be quite
extraordinarily "in ferment' and the

though rent in twain, has become more
militant than ever before. such are

term.

New York, September 3oth.--OAicial
adyices received by the State Depart
ment at Washington tend to confirm
the facts that President Castro has be-
come involved in most serious diIflcul-
ty with the French government, and
that there is every prospect that the
United States may be involved in the
controversy. On Saturday last Castro
ordered that the French cable touching
any part of the republic of Venezuela
be cut. This order was complied with.
Immediately thereafter and in the same
hour he caused the arrests of six clerks
employed by the company at its La
Guayra station.
The arrested men were all placed in
prison, and are there now despite the
threats of the French consul, who has
been in constant communication with his
government. Two French warships
have been sent to the north coast OF
/ Venezuela in answer to the request OF
the consul. There is every indication
that the warships will lombard La

Georgia marble won a distinct vic
tory in this competition as it did in
the bidding for the new department OF
justice building at Washington. I'm
der The governments tests, which
were unusually severe. Georgia marble
was found to be clearly superior to
the Vermont article. The competition
for the Tampa contract was all the
more spirited because of the prefer.
ence frequently given to Georgia mar.

and the contractors Of other public
buildings.

, eeoReIA,s TAX RATE.

The tax rate in Georgia is lower this
year than it was last by Il cents on
the thousand dollars. Last year it was
$5.44 and this year It has been placed
at $3.50 on the $1,000. The lowest
rate in about 20 years was in 1883
when it was Just $3.50 on the taou-
sand but It gradually climbed up
until four years ago 1t reached the
aigh figure of 1921 The greater part
Of this increase, It is noted, was dur
ing the ten years from 1883 to 1898.
Although the rate now is nearly a
dollar less than it was four years ago
tne state win pay million dollars
more to public schools and pensions
than it did at that time.
The new rate is bascd upon an in.
crease in property values Of $l079O.-
900 over last year Tae amount of
revenue collected last year with the
rate at $5.44 was $24sse5s. The
amount this year with the rate at
$500 will be $2,476,93O or a decrease
OF $6,727 However. it is thought that

poses.

about the same as usual, but tne free
