EDITORIAL

When we stated IN our article of
Yesterday that we believed thet those
politicians who had indulged in ext
ravagant praise of what they consid
cred the generous recommendation
of the President, to have been prem
ature, we knew that we had with US
the immense majority of opinion.
This belief, which has been conf
irmed, impe1s US to continue speaking
of the same matter with that frank
ness which always characterizes our
utterances on all important questions,
particularly when they threaten the
public welfare.
We have said that it was an of6c-
ious act of the President-and as such,
suspicious Recommending to the nat
ional Congress the granting of cit
izenship to Porto Ricans, when in the
memorial of the League of Municipal :
tiles, with which Mr.. Roosevelt must
by this time be fully familiar, not a
word was said about such citizenship.
Upon this fact we wish to insist.
The principal feature of the par
sgraph in the presidential message
relating to Porto Rico is,-so far as
is known the one that has captured
and fascinated the majority of our
politicians who have been blinded to
the real import of its meaning-that
which speaks of citizenship for us
Have not those clever politicians
who have gone into ecstacies of del
light over the transcendent gener-
osity which they fancy they have
discovered in the words of the Pres
ident, giving free vent to their wild
and premature rejoicings. realized
that the in the end their joy may be
turned into bitter lamentations?
Have they not observed the SLY
attempt to hoodwink us in the first
recommendation of the brief paragr
aph referring to us?
1t is we'll that they fix their
attention on these things. In such
times as the present it is necessary
that eyes be kept wide open in order
to guard against every sort of surpr-
iSe.
If, instead of pursuing phantoms
our politicians had kept their
attention fixed constantly on the place
where it ought to be centered, they
would not have fallen into the clever
and ingenious trap prepared by
redemptionism to thwart the acts of
the League Of Municipalities and
deprive US of that's fswe1ful mears of
defence.
But. what hope! 1t seems as if
there were those who were doing all
in their power to give color to the as
sertion that we are an infant people
who require tutors and perennial
guardians
And the intention of the President
could not be palmer nor more evident
First he speaks of citizenship, in
order to charm and fascinate us; and
Immediately afterwards, as if it were
of secondary importance-of minor
consideration says that the Fora
ker regime should be continued
The contrast could not be more
striking, more comically tragic; the
attempt to hoodwink could not be
more patent. more mockingly express
sive; and nevertheless there are some
who have not taken all this into ac-
count.

Congress will ask itself what it is
that the President wants, what the
author of t}lo message mas in mind in
his incoherent and peTplexlDg recon-.
imendations; the reasons for his firm
ness, his dec;siveness in supporting
with all his influence, all his will and
power his request for the continuance
of a political status dependent entire
ly on him; which recognizes him as
absolute and supreme chief and the
ineffable and all-powerful pontif of
redemptionism and his motives in as
serting that the present regime ought
to continue. The reasons may be
found in his unwillingness to be de-
prived Of means of recompense for
his political followers, OF an asylum
for the 6yoken AoaVn f0!stlT,Gns of the
mother country, place of refuge for
those who are useless in their own
land.
1t is that which is of importance to
the President, it is that which he def
lends.
Well then. is not the matter suff-
ciently clear2
Is it not perfectly evident, is it not
transparent the full import of the pa
ragraph, in the two antithetical re-
Communications which are evidently
so contradictory
1t it high time for our leaders, even
the most confd1ng. to get rid of the
childish credulity with which they are
possessed.
And if this aspect of simplicity is
only on the surface, they would do
we'll to abandon it at once, for there is
no excuse for its existence.
Mr.. Roosevelt is accused by Ameri-
can opinion of being an imperialist
His engaging in matters not in kee-
ping with the head OF a Democracy
has awakened profund mistrust and
some fears.
The President is ii n Il b te d y
cognizant of the state of feeling,
but with the Indifference pecu-
liar to superior beings he does not
trouble himself to correct his actions
on account of simple words Of criti-
cism.
Mr.. Roosevelt insists on his policy
being carried out, he considers it good
and wishes to have it continued; but
on Congress he cannot impose his
imperialistic ideas. Therefore the
President recommends to it the CONT
nuation Ct me feudal regime, the
granting Of American citizenship to
: the colonists.
And knowing the impressionable ma
ture of our politicians, perhaps he
fancies that they will not hear because
the applause resulting from prema-
ture gratitude will drown the tones of
the stentorian Portorican voice which
inspired the memorial OF the great AS
sembly of the twenty fifth of July, the
Imposing voice which demanded pop
ular sovereignty and told of the gross
lnjustices perpetrated by slavish
colonization.
This is the tructh and We are COM
PEELED to utter it; in proclaiining it we
are discharging our solemn duty.
1t is time to live face to face with
reality and discard all the dangers
and pitfalls of blind and dangerous
faith.

The Advertiser this morning in the
course of a news article, quoting
captain Ginther of the Russian cruiser
Lena says: Mr.. Lugebil is not an Of
hcer of the ship. He has nothing to
do with it. He is simply travelling with
me to see his family in Vladivosstok.
He has nothing to do with the ship.
And you print that he says that the
Russian government is referring to the
Stars stOryl -" and he paused
and seemed to be unable to find the
word.
1T is not possible that when he is
on board this Russian ship he would
say such a thing about the Russian
government. Anyhow, he has nothing
to do with the ship" repeated he
While what Mr.. Lugebil is said to
have said is not given, it is certain that
the Advertiser is mistaken in it's re-
ference. Mr.. Lugebil has not been
quoted in The Star as saying anything
derogatory to the Russian government
nor anything about the Russian gov
eminent, nor anything in fact except
in regard to the causes which brought
the Lena here, and then by express
authorization of Captain Ginther, and
what he said then was afterwards APP
proved by Captain Ginther.

LIFE INSURANCE.

What the New York State Superin-
endent of Insurance knows about re-
signing it's equal at least to what he
knew about evidence-The Detroit
Free Press.
Evidently some of those insurance
officials are determined to demonstrate
that government control could not
make matters any worse.-The Detroit
Free Press.
1t should not be overlooked at this
time that so far as the McCurdys are
concerned they have been consistently
leading the mutual life. -The Chicago
Inter-Ocean.
The policy-holder who was wise
enough to die last year certainly has
the laugh on those who are having to
view these insurance eXposures.-The
Los Angeles Express.
Even more interesting than the ques-
ton as to what McCurdy did to earn
his salary is the question as to what
the State Insurance Superintendent did
o earn his.-The Chicago News.
