Driving Voters Into Tammanv

The appeal of the Tammany Hall law
committee for the defeat of the Elsberr
amendments to tho Election and Metro
politan Election District laws closes with
these strong, but not Incorporate, words:
The horrors OF the Force bin that public sepu.
ment compelled Congress to repeal the Infamous
days Of JoHS l. DAVENPORT. even the awfulness y,
government In Russia. will pale before the inlou,.
Ties that Will take place In the city Of New Yors II
these bills arc passed"
The Elsberg amendments are designed
to impose upon the residents of the
counties of Kings, New York, Queens
Richmond and Westchestor obligations
and duties that are required of citizens
IN no other section Of the State. Assum-
ing that the citizens whose homes are
within these counties, and particrIarl,.
those who live in the city of New York
are law defying, statute breaking az
gregation of ballot box suffers. the Odeu
State organization intends to subiect
them to special and irksome regulations
in the registration booth and at the polls
render them liable TO penalties unknown
elsewhere, and pursue them with spies
even into the private apartments Of their
dwelling places.
Against this plan Tammany Hall nro-
tests, through its law committee, inst as
in 1904 it protested through the same
committee against the outragcs which
were perpetrated on many citizens bv
the same agency in the name of pro
tecting the purity of the ballot" Twice
within six months the people of New
York have found their rights infrineed
and ignored by the Odell State organi-
cation. Twice Tammany Hall has will |
ingly come TO their assistance to helm
maintain those rights.
II II - the purpose Of the Odell State
organization to drive the voters of New
York into Tammany Hail. these unpro-
voked attacks on the rights of the citizens
OF the five boroughs are well calculated
TO achieve it.

easily possible through the dominating
power Of appointed officials.
But conceding both the force and the
business of Porto Rican aspirations, the
fact stands that no people have ever
yet been made content through mere
political processes. The laws of State
may be perfect, and its administrators
may be all that it Is possible for men
/ to be- but human content comes from
/ physical wellbeing rather than from
| any political conditions and Porto Rico
troubles fundame ntally economic We're
her people prosperous they would still
cling to their political aspirations, but
they would be far less emphatic in the
expression Of their ambitions and far
loss clamorous in their assertion of them.
In common with Americans, Cubans,
Englishmcn and various other repre-
sentatires of modern civilization, the
Porto Ricans seek relief from economic
woes through legislation by their politi-
cal leaders. Porto Rico's greatest need
is profitable outlet for her products. a
market which can be supplied by the
industry of her people, and not a mere
substitution Of Porto Ricans for Ameri-
cans in the executive chambers. A
chance to make a comfortable and whole
some living is of greater importance to
them than is any national utilization. To
be well fed and prosperous political
nondescript may seem better than to be
a pauperized American citizen.
Porto Rico wants a market for coffee,
tobacco and fruit, but does not go to
work to secure it in the most intelligent !
way. Her people are merely awake to .
the fact of their need. The American |
people, although morally bound to ex-
tend a helping hand to their voluntarily
adopted prot6ge. appear to have for
gotten or TO have overlooked the fact
hat political infants need help.
That which the Porto Ricans most
need is to get busy and keep busy That
which the United States should do is
o give them a business chance We
should then hear much less about political
discomfort The plan now pending for
he establishment here of sales depots
or Porto Rican coffee is the most sensi-
Die step yet taken If these are prop
rly conducted, and if clear instructions
re given for the proper preparation of

breakfast table and its proper prepara-
ion for use as an after dinner coffee,
God prices should be obtained for every
ound the island can raise. :

Legislators Urged 10 Pass the Constltu
iional Amendment.

/ ALBANY, March l3.-Members of the
/ Assembly have received letters by tho
bushcl from the 100 road supervisors of the
State, good roads associations. chambers
OF commerce and other organizations
urging them to vote for the amendment
10 tho Constitution permitting the State to
incur debt OF $50 100000 for general high
ways Improvement The amendment meas
ure passed the Senate on Feb. %
The plan OF road improvement, formu-
lated by the supervisors sixth annual
convention, contemplates the building Of
1900 miles Of highways, one-tenth OF the
road mileage of the State. The estimated
cost OF the work is $50 100000. Under the
Hlgnle-Armstrong act 81 1898 and the
fuler-Plank act of the same year. the State
VIII bear 90 per cent. of the cost, the county
80 per cent. and the town in which the road

proposed and the consequent bond issue

the work will lend its credit to countie,
and towns for the other s25. OOO. 600 required.
IL Is urged upon the members of the As.
sembly that the money can be borrowed
by the state on much easier terms than by
counties and towns individually.
The 1900 miles of road which are to he

are the main highways of the State. These
me Supervisors point out, are so equally
distributed as 70 leave no farm further than
hVe niles from an improved road and to
place GO per cent. OF farms within three
miles OF an improved highway. In ten
years, under this plan, it is maintained
the improvement can be completed
one OF the arguments brought to bear
on the Assemblymen is that the State Leads
al other commonwealths in the decrease
OF iarm values since 1870. Neglect of tho
roads Is said to be the chief reason II is
commended that every acre of land In the
STATE "ill be worth $40 more should the plan
