To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal;
The entrance of Meredith Nicholson into
the front rank of American novel writers
adds another honor to the Phi Gamma
Delta college fraternity. This society has
had more than its share of distinguished
literary men. The late Frank Norris was
one of it's members, and Arthur Cotton,
another Western man. who was graduated
at Yale, however, is adding prestige 10 its
renutation. In Indiana the fraternity
claims. besides Mr.. Nicholson, General Wal
lace. Edward Eggleston, Maurice Thomp-
son. John Clark Ridpath and James A.
Woodburn. whose recent contributions TO
political literature have won the COM
mendation of the press all over the coun-
try. This is also the fraternity 10 which
Senator Fairbanks belongs. W.

The History of Puerto Rico.

Porto Rico has an interesting history, one
practically unknown to the people of the
United States. Its four centuries under
Spanish control is a record of unusual and
remarkable events. This latest possession
of the United States is the oldest American
outland in point of European occupation.
satisfactory history of it has never been
written in Spanish, and this is the first
history written in English. The author, R.
A. Van Middledyk, librarian of the Free
Public Library, San Juan, Porto Rico, and
the editor, Martin G.. Brumbaugh, the first
commissioner OF education for Porto Rico
have produced a volume that Is inclusive
and apparently accurate, and that, from
our present relation TO the island, is a new
chapter in United States history. President
Mckinley took a broad and humane view
of our obligation to the people of this island
who implicitly intrusted their lives, liberty
and property to our guardianship, and our
statesmen and citizens have a debt OF honor
to the island which indifference and ignor-
ance of its needs cannot pay. In this light
particularly, this book is timely, and should
appeal 10 those who, with Mckinley, want
Ito put the conscience of the American peo-
pie into the islands of the sea-" The social,
political commercial and agricultural as
poets of Porto Rico are discussed, and also
its physiography. the West Indian hurri-
canes and other natural features. The edi-
tor says: Under civil government the en-
tire reorganization of the life of the people
is being rapidly effected. The agricultural
status of the island was never so hopeful
The commercial activity is greatly in
creased. The educational awakening is uni
versal and healthy. Notwithstanding the
disastrous cyclone of 1898 and the confusion
incident to radical governmental reorgan-
ization. the wealth per capita has increased,
the home life is improved, and the illiteracy
of the people is being rapidly lessened %
