GOOD ROADS FOR PORTO RICO.

In the report of the secretary of the
interior, Porto Rico is treated as one OF
the territories and statement is given
showing gratifying Improvement in all
matters relating to the health, comfor,
and convenience of the people. and the
material social and educational inter-
ests of the island
One topic is presented, and is here re-
ferred to because 1t illustrates in Porto
Rico what some of our own states are
doing in the matter of constructing
good roads-notably New York, where
nearly s300.0oo.o0o is soon to be expend-
ed for this purpose.
The report OF the interior department
states that the key to prosperity in the
island is good roads and bridges; road
building, however, in Porto Rico is not
an easy task nor a project to be quickly
of the interior makes the location OF
roads difficult and their construction
costly and slow. Sudden and torrential
rains cause great Iandslides, ruinous
washouts, and vexatious destruction of
bridges and cGlverts are of frequent oc-
currence Every road. therefore, be-
comes a problem in itself.
AT the last session the Porto Rico
legislative assembly abolished the
board of public works, providing for the
Organization of bureau of public
roads in lieu thereof. 1t divided the
island into seven road districts, and set
aside 25 per cent of the municipal taxes
for the construction and repair of roads,
applying it directly to country roads
and trails not Immediately in charge of
the insular authorities. A wise and
economical expenditure of the revenues
obtained for this purpose will prove of
great benefit to interior communities.
Four hundred and twenty four and ten
one undredths kilometers of macadam
roads were maintained and cared for.
CA kilometer is nearly five eighths of a
statute mile.) Of this, 2S4 kilometers
were constructed by the Spanish gov
eminent and 140 by this government
Oyer 10000 men in addition TO the regu-
lar force of the office and large num-
Der in the employ of road contractors
were engaged in road work as laborers.
Thus it will be seen that the island
is wisely beginning with first principles,
in order to pave the way to material
prosperity.

THE DAY We OBSERVE

Thanksgiving day is a happy Ameri-
at very early day in our history, and
has been celebrated in New England
from the first settlement of the Pill
srims. Its early observance had more
eff religious reverence and Characters
tics of worship than later day features.
1t originated in 1921, when Governor
Bradford, of Plymouth colony, ap-
pointed day of public praise and
prayer after the first harvest, and the
practice was followed by other New
England colonies. During the revolu-
tionary war it was introduced in sew
eral states. Since then it has extended
to nearly all the states and has become
O. national institution since 1868, in the
civil war period.
The years have been rare when the
nation has observed 1t under more aus
picious circumstances than the present.
Peace and prosperity at home and hap
by relations with neighboring coun-
tries, good national health and good
cheer, render Thanksgiving day in 1902
peculiarly happy period for universal
observance In recognition of these
facts, and in harmony with the grow
ing tendency to make it a joyous occa-
sion, hosts of Americans are today en-
joying royal feasts of good things, such
as our people alone are able to gather
from the rich storehouses of the nation.

governments. This ought to be plainly
understood. even by a democrat.
That the government can provide
policies that lead to prosperity of the
masses is widely accepted doctrine,
which the Democrat has sought to
prove by its own record. To Illustrate:
There was time in the recent history
of our nation when the country hesitat-
ed between adopting the gold standard
and the double standard. While 1t
stood at the parting of the ways some
Gus enough to advocate and urge the
adoption of the gold standard. The
republican majority had the wisdom to
do this, even tho it was at first with a
showing OF timidity. while the demo-
cratic party violently opposed it. 1t is
to the credit of the Montezuma Demo-
crat that it parted company with its
party for awhile on this very question
Why? Because it believed that the gold
Standard would Diins greater degree
of prosperity. The files of the Demo-
crat offer abundant proof of this. And
it knows that the adoption of the gold
standard brought such monetary sta
bility and financial prosperity as the
nation never before knew. In like man.
ner the good results of other policies
might be cited, such as the policy pro-
lection, etc, but this statement ought
to be sufficient to convince the Demo-
crat that its question is not reason
able one from party or economic
point of view. AS the Times Republi-
can published the Democrats state
ment in full, without emitting anything,
this paper rests in the hope and expec-
tation that the Democrat will courte-
ously republish this.

CLEvELAED'S LATEST.

President Grover Cleveland has
recently written a letter to the New
York World on the future of the demo-
cratic party that has attracted some
he desires to see it adopt henceforth.
Since the democratic party has been
-buffeted, chasteped, rejected by the
people, and reached a point where re-
generation is absolutely necessary, he
points out what he considers it's mis-
takes in the adoption of populistic and
socialistic heresies, and this censure is
pointedly intended to hit leaders of the
Bryan, Hill and Tom Johnson type. 1t
is noteworthy that democrats who sup
port doctrines, methods and leaders
that Mr.. Cleveland has opposed will
find no suggestion Of retreat or COM
promise in his letter. He declares that
there need be no fear that a radical
return TO true democracy is dangerous
TO democratic success" Probably not.
Nothing could now endanger its sue
cess! He indicates that the advocacy of
free trade is desirable, together with
such other issues as dealing with the
trusts and opposing the evils of ag-
gressive expansions, and its incompati-
bility with what has always been re-
eardea as safe Americanism.' While
his letter and suggestions will evoke a
sheer from other democratic leaders. it
is characterized by spirit that indi-
Gates a lofty desire to make his party
worthy of snpport

"WHO WILL ANSWER"

Under the above caption, the Monte
yuma Democrat prints the following:
IF prosperity is due to the wisdom of
republican legislation and the continu-
Rnce in power of It's representatives,
viii some one be kind enough to inform
then, for the financial failures that are
continually taking place not only in
Poweshiek county but all over the
country? Is it not very poor rule that
will not work both ways? Watch the
republican prosperity bowling newspa-
pers and see IL they answer. our ques-
tions above propounded."
Altho the Times Republican does not
care to assume the distinction the Dem
ocrat seeks to confer on its republican
contemporaries in its last sentence, it
might step to the front and answer
eyes, to its question, il the first propo-
sition is to be accepted without reser-
walton, that prosperity is due to the
wisdom of republican legislation" when
applied to individual cases. But no
discreet republican journal would make
such claim. nor could the Democrat
cite individual failures in proof that
prosperity did not prevail as the result
Of republican legislation. The govern

provide good policies, and 1t must leave

CIVIC AND SCHOOL BEAUTIFYING
washington Press.l

Washing tOn freSS.
This town was fully fifty years old
before a stroke of civic beauty was
made. The court house shamed us or
inspired us to build pretty homes in
stead of ugly ones. First one, then an
other began to plant ornamental trees,
cultivate vines and flowers, and the
village is, EMPOWERED now and full of
pretty homes. The thing was catching.
The yeast got into church and school
architecture as Well Even the depots
slieked UP, set out a few fenced trees,
planted some posies. paved. trained a
vine on the freight house, cleaned UP,
painted. and the Rock Island yard is a
neater place now than any school
grounds we've got. Our school house
grounds are still far below par The
grass or natural hair of those grounds
is worn off, as tug wears off the fell
on the flank of a horse. There is more
or less litter, and more weeds than
flowers. 1t is true a weed is plant
that is on it's slow way to become an
agreeable Towering plant, but 1t has
not been cultivated and coaxed. 1t IS
like colt that has run wild all winter,
uncurried. its coat full of dirt and
burrs. Why wait for that weed to be
tanned and promoted? Why not uproot
dog fennel and plant pinks or anything
else that is pretty?
Really. in most places there has been
little identifying in school grounds IN
the last fifty or sixty years.
The rest of our civic clothing is gem
teel and up-to- date and IN style, but
those school grounds are as unpictur-
esoue as a big patch. in another color,
on the seat of pair of trousers.
The school children might take hold
of this reform, and make renaissance.
1t would do them good. 1t would i'm
prove their taste. Let every class have
a flower bed in the grounds. A friendly
rivalry would work a magical transfor-
nation. Get the pupils in the different
school houses into aesthetic compeu-
ton. In year or two our school house
grounds would be the prettiest places in
the city, and it would not cost cent.
