subway Extension Operations

IT Is expected that the Wall street sta
ton Of the subway will be opened for bu.i.
ness in May. The original intention w7-
not To open any more stations on the lower
Broadway extension until the loop around
Battery Park was completed. but the con
gestion at Fulton street has been 80 preat
since that station was opened that il has
been deemed advisable to relieve il AZ the
earliest moment
Another consideration in the early OPEN
ing IS that the completion Of the tunnel
below Wall street has been somewhat
delayed by a change in plans to allow for
the installation Of a cro5sover switch lust
above tho mouth Of the loop. so that If
block occurs at South Ferry trains above
the loop can be sent back without DELAY

There will also be two approaches 10 the

Carlos Morales.

No greater mistake can be made thar
the establishment Of international rela-
tons on a basis of misconCeption. Our
general Infamiiiarity with the people
and the conditions in certain islands in
which We have now had half dozen
years Of experience has led us into I'M
fortunate complications.
The NoC Tork T,15lme comments on
the gentleman who is President of Santo
Domingo in terms which do not seem TO
be justified by the facts, 1t argues the
Justice wisdom and benefcence' of
the Morales Government from the fact
hat MORALES has proposed measure
for the rehabilitation OF Santo Domingo.
and declares that if the Morales Govern
ment Is not the rightful Government
it ought to be made so because of
MORALES : appeal for American aid
If that is the proper ground for action,
the United States Government should
have lent its countenance to Sehor
ASDARA when he approached the State
Department with his proposal to over
throw Dir. CASTRO in Venezuela. The
United States Government, likewise,
was guilty of crime when it refused
10 grant 70 the Cubans the rights of
bellgerents. The argument is too far
fetched 1t is all a question of fact.
4 criminal who appeals to the police for
protection against other criminals NAV
show himself a polite man, but he does
not thereby prove himself a good man
or good citizen.
There is nothing in the career OF Mr..
MORALES which shows him in the light
OF large-minded and sincere patriot,
or which indicates him as the choice of
the Dominican people as their ruler.
Mr.. MORALES became President OF Santo /
Domingo by violence and trickery. He
has held on to his office by the same
methods, energetically supplemented by /.
the menacing guns of the United States /
navy. All the facts of the case indicate I
that his recent action was an act of /
cowardice rather than patriotism. He
feared for his authority and he feared .
for his life. His only hope of salvation
was in the step which he took, not in the
interest Of his country, but to serve his /
own selfish ends
II the United States Government is TO
become actively concerned in Dominican
affairs, there should be no misconcep-
ton, 1t will be a profound mistake to
put halos on political adventurous and to
discern patriotic craftsmanship in what
is really personal cowardice. CARLOS
MORALES may be no worse than Others.
but there Is no reason to think him
better and it is quite certain that he
is not the choice Of even majority of
the people Of his island.

Porto Rican "Dlssati,faction. -

In letter published in our columns
on March G Mr.. FRANK II. RICHMOND.
formerly an Associate Judge of the Dis
trict Court Of San Juan. presented an
interesting view Of conditions in Porto
Rico. We are not quite ready TO accent
all his conclusions.
Mr.. RICHMOND states that THE nre-
Willing attitude throughout the island
Is one Of dissatisfaction. The sun has
commented on this fact several times
during the last year or two, but has gone
beyond that point and has also com
mented on our national indifference TO
that dissatisfaction He states that the
underlying cause of this unhappy con-
dition is the operation Of tho Foraker
act, under which the Porto Ricans have
been denied that measure Of freedom
and progress for which they have been
induced to hope
1t is evident from the tenor Of his
letter that Mr.. RICHMOND holds that the
dissatisfaction in the island is mainly
political, that the people desire a laryer
voice in the administration ortheir affair.
ana that they wish to be citizens of SINE
country and not mere unpIaced political
appendages. AIthis may be admitted
