Oil the Joints Of Your Umbrella.

A former peddler, now rich insur-
ance man, stood in sheltered corner
during a big storm and watched tho
umbrellas GO to pieces as the wind hit
them full force.
!. Probably all those umbrellas are
wrecks because Of the need of a little
oil. ]" he said. That's trick / learned
as a peddler. An umbrella is primari-
" a thing Of joints, and to keep it In
good condition the joints should be-
oiled.
i found that nearly all umbrellas
break in the joints first, and why
shouldn't they2 The joints are never
oiled, and vet are expected to respond
easily to sudden opening.
To get the best use ont Of an ,im-
brella the joints should be oiled first
with coal OIL or kerosene to clean on
the rust. and then with q lubricating
oil to make them work easily Thus

THEN THERE WAS SILENCE.
When the Nervous Act or Recovered
His Wits,

When the Nervous Act or Recovered
His Wits.
A well known English actor was
once, while a young man touring
through the provinces. One night
when his cue came he was very ner-
vous, and on going upon the stage
could hardly speak. The audience
greatly displeased, and things began
to come his way He stood this
bombardment for a few minutes until
a green head of the cabbage sped past
his ear. Stepping to the front of the
stage he raised his hand for silence.
and EXCLAIMED:
Il came here tonight determined to
please an interested audience, but
sincerely regret that any person has
lost his head over the matter. Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

IQu6 entenderan por

Con motivo de aprobarse 81
bill que fusiona bajo una misma
jefatura los organismos dc SAM
dad, Prisiones Y Carload, un Pc
ri6dico de San Juan echa las cam
panas al vuelo y dice que Ell hecho
&es Observation-Disclosures, un avance
resuelto hacia el gobierno del pals
por el pa1s2; pOrque, segdn ese CO.
lega, ~se crea un DepartamentO
para ser dirigldo por IN Consejero
native, 6djO la G71nGeol50t0 d11tOrjd0d
del GObernadOr, con la dnue1aciG
del Consejo.2
FL hecho de crearse un Duevo
Departamento, ipuede en- manera
alguna considerarse como IN 0U0r1-
ce hacia ell gobierno del pals por el
pals? ;Qu6 entenderan esos hOm-
bres por gobierno propio? En- seis
Departamentos esta dividida la
administration de Puerto Rico, des-
de que SO esta blecio la Ley Fora
ker, q nadie Sc le ha ocurrido de-
cir que estamos en- possession del 60
bierno propio. iY ha de realizarse
ESQ pOrque 80 establezca un Depar-
tamento mas, que nj siquiera fun
ciona libremente como aquellos,
puesto que esta bdjo la inmediat0
aut0y5dad del G06e7nador2
Pero es-se nos dice-que ese
departamento sera dirigido por un
Consejero Eativo. Y que ? Un
empleado puertorriqueflo, dc mas
do m6nos, en- el gobierno puede
cambiar 81 esp1ritu centralizador
del bill Foraker que nos rige!
Adn desde ese punto de Wis
ia; adn suponiendo que 81 ma
yor numero de puertorriquefios
en- la administration, determinara
mayor participation del pals Ell el
gobiernO, resulta, que con la fu-
sion de esos organismos, es menOr
el nt1mero de puertorriqueflos que
interviewer en- la administrator.
Hasta hoy los Direcciones de Sa-
nidad, Prisiones Y Carload, han es-
tado d cargo de tres puertorrique-
flos, pues la de Carload hace POGO
que So le confio a un americana.
Tenemos pues, que de esos puestos
SO desplaza tres puertOrriQuenos,
para ponerlos en- manO de IN solo,
que por ser Conseje1o del Ejecti-
VO, no necesitaba encargars0 del

participation en- el gobierno. En-
realidad, SO restan tres puertorri-

En- realidad, 10 que Sc ccnsi-
que es aumentarle ell sueldO al
Consejero nativo que SO haga car
go de ese nuevo Departamento.
Nosotros opinamOs con Mr.. Sweet,
que a. combatir csc prOyectO dijo,
que 81 mejor modo de educar al
pueblo en- las practicas de un 60
bierno propio, no era, creando gran
des Organismos para un reducidO
ndmero de personals, sinO subdlvi-
diendO estOs de modo de que fuese
mayor el ndmero de puertorrique-
nos que adquiriesen la practica y
los conocimientos de una buena ad-
ministraci6n. Mientras mayor sea
ell ndmero de empleados nativos,
mayor sera ell de los capacitados
para el gobierno prOpio.
Asf, pues, pOr cualQuiera de
los aspectOs que Sc examine, no ve-
mos eso GU071Ce reS1AeLtO hacia ell
gobierno del pals por ell pals. POr
ell contrario, el tai Departamento
en- el que SO fusionan organismos
tan distintos como el de Sanidad,
Prisiones y Carload, Ipara ponerlos
bajO la Direction de un solo indi-
viduo, es una fOrma mas de CEN
TRALIzACI0N.
Y con ese motive Sc pretende
enganar al pueblo, haci6ndOle yer
que ell partido gobernante trabaja
por la mayor cantidad de gobierno
propio, cuando es TODD 10 contra
rio, cuando un esp1ritu centraliza-
dor, que es ell esplritu del gobier-
no, es 10 que anima a csc partido.
ST Sc dijera. que la creacion
del nuevo DepartamentO obedece a
un esplritu de economic en- el pre-
supuesto, pues con clio Sc consigue
una reduction de gastOs innecesa-
rios, quizas estar1amos conformes.
Pero pretender que csc sea un pa
SO trdscendent0ltsonaO, un GUGaace
re8ueIto hacia ell gobierno del pals
por ell pals, resultar1a risible sinO
no fuera un gran disparate.
De este puede ded1cirse la
tliste consecuencia, que los puer-
torriqueflos que So hallan hoy COO
perando q la accion del gobiernO,
no tienen la menOr idea de 10 que
es ell SELF GOVERNMENT; y que La lg-
norancia dc esos homb puede
ser y es efecto de fatales conse-
cuencias para el pals, desde ell mo-
m6nto que con anuencia de ellOs
es>9ne el gobierno resuelve todas
nuestras cuestiones.
