CONGRESSMAN HoGG
ON NATIONAL ISSUES

From the Pueblo Chieftain.
When the opening gun of the Repub-
lican campaign in Pueblo and Pueblo
county was fired last night the report
was several thousand miles from what
is known as n fizZle. The gun was a
big one. and the report WAS cores
pondingly loud. The man behind the
gun was Congressman II. M. HOgg,
and his speech made before a house
full of people at the Earl theater, un-
der the auspices of the Young Mems
Republican Club. covered thoroughly
the questions treated upon and served
to arouse the great audience to fire.
quent and enthusiastic cheering.
The applause was not only generous
but was beyond doubt OF the sincere
brand. Above the clapping Of hands
and regulation cheering the voice OF
one eager listener frequently arose In
lusty volume with the request to "Hit
'em again!" as Congressman Hogg's
eloquent and forceful address pro-
oeeded.
There was nothing omitted to make
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1904-08-22

the meeting a complete success. and
II was a most propitious opening of
what must certainly be a decisive vic
tory for the Republican forces. Head
ed by the Morris Military band the pa
rade started from the foot of Royal
park and marched TO the Earl thea
ter on Fourth street. In the line OF
march were hundreds OF members OF
the Young Mems Republican Club and
the cheering was OF the kind which is
unmistakable in enthusiastic effects.
When the parade reached the thea
ter the house was already rapidly fll-
ing with men and a large representa-
ton of the fair voters. The band
played a couple of numbers calculated
to cause the tagging spirits to get a
move on. and this was followed by the
appearance of the glee club. forming
one of the attractive features of the
Young Mems Republican Club. The
singers rendered "On Election Day"
and gave as an encore that always
popular air to which great many
different campaign lines have been
sung. Goodbye, Judge Parker, Good
bye"
Omar E. Garwood, president OF the
Young Mems Republican Club, made
few preliminary remarks, in which
he gave bit of history of the club
and outlined some of the organiza-
tons purposes, concluding by intro
ducing the speaker of the evening,

If Frank Freeman had not come

the chances are that the Amsden and

call-if not consumed. Frank was
playing solitaire in the Durango Club
rooms above the Amsden store at the
time the fire broke out, and smelling
the smoke which began coming up
through the floor he concluded some
thing was wrong and skipped for the
Kruschke corner, turning in an alarm
without knowing where the fire was
located. The fire would otherwise
have secured great headway before

LAZY MANS PARADISE.
Nature Puts a Premium on Incidence
 in Porto Rico.

Three-fourths as large as Connecti- cut and with a population of a million, or about 273 to the square mile, blessed with a fertile soil, an equable climate, and diversity of fairly well developed agricultural industries. Porto Rico is one of the most favored spots on the globe. It is about thirty-six miles wide and 100 miles long. But nature has put a premium upon indolence, for as an American official has remarked, the native, while lying in his hammock can pick banana with one hand and at the same time dig a sweet potato with one foot. The natives are warm hearted. law-abiding and intelligent honest and capable in business, public spirited and appreciative,, for the most part, of the blessings bestowed by their new government. Race prejudices and religious strifei hardly exist. There IS no alarming intemperance. There are no serious disputes between capital and labor, and there is no marked ten- dency toward socialism.
 Two-fifths of the Porto Ricans are colored, either pure negro or molat- toes, a proportion which is a trifle larger than in Cuba Gone third), but much smaller than in the sugar pro- ducing British West Indian islands
 Wages are lower in Porto Rico than in the United States. In the rural dis
