| There remain but three davs bef-
ore the beginning of the legislative
sessions and it is not yet known
what questions and matters Of nub-
llc interest are TO come before our
next Insular Congress.
Up to the present time, no prog
ram has been announced. no NOTICE
OF any reform, no expression of opin.
ION, nor is 1t known whether any of
those projects which have met with
popular approval will be converted
into law by the ma jority.
This proves for the hundreth time
the impotence of our parliam entarv
system, aud discovers another bad
condition which is displayed with
alarming symptoms.
1t Will not dare to place before the
lower House the solution which the
coffee problem demands-which Is
the problem of public Economy-ne-
lther VIII it ask far tariff projection
tor that grain, or the economic
autonomy which would enable us TO
recover our former markets.
1t occurs to us ask the following
question.
how can a majority go into the
Legislative sessions without a prog
ram? Is 1t that we are TO be treated to
the surprising spectacle of seeing it
lnaugurate line of action after the
sessions in the lower House have
begun?
Up to the present time-and it
certainly is not because the papers
OF the party have not given advi-
ce on the subject-there has been
displayed no wisdom and intelliq-
ence on the part Of the majority
IN outlining course of action to be
followed in the coming legislative
session which is inexcu sable in view
OF the grave and vital conditions
confronting the country.
IhlS Is not time for maintaining
silence; It is the time to speak.
But there have been no indica-
tons that the coming Legislation is
to have any results beneficial for the
public, or that it will treat enerqeti-
ca lily or lntelligently the questions
which the people hoped that it
would.
The time is short. And it NAV
be that those who are responsible
Tor its being wasted propose ke-
eplng on IN the same cou1se, instead
of doing all in their power o regain
that which has been lost. 1t NAV be
that instead of advocating laws
which opinion demands, tariff pro

|tect1on, coffee loan, the condoninp-
|of the taxes on coffee lands. the in
Identification which those who have
been unjustly taxed ought to have
who have unfairly been forced to
contribute to the ma intenance of the
state, without Obtaining the least
compensation as have other taxpa-
yers; 1t may be that instead of all
these things that we have called
attention to, that we have pointed
out and commented upon countless
times as acts of necessary and just
reparatlon, we ere to be surprised
with a memorial addressed to the ma
tlonal Congress asking that tn Phil
l1plnos be not granted the tariff re-
ductlon which they ask for on their
sugar, as if such a selfish attitude
was becoming in us who are ask
ing tor protection for our coffee.
as If that which it was important
Tor US to defend was sugar and
not cofte, which is the product which
assures our economic autonomy and
which determines our personality.
How much more laudab1e would
1t be tor us TO associate ourselves
with the Philippines asking for free
trade tor the sugar of the archipel-
ago and that tariff protection br Civ
TO all the coffe coming from the
American colonies.
Protection for coffee is not favor
1t IS restitution it is an idemnitv.
1t is a work of Justice.
If the principal product of Porto
Rlco was sugar, and the general
welfare of the Island depended on
It, we would have no reason for
showing alarm because another
American colony received equal pro
lection with us in the markets of the
continent
But we are not aware that sugar
Us the principal Portorican product
sugar plantations have not replaced
those Of coffee; our lands continue
as they have always been, as suite
bic, as mountainous, as fitted in eve
ry way for producing coffee, with out
having changed in character.
Let our superior men think as
practical beings, those who are in
measure responsible for the state
of affairs, let them get over their
absurd tancies, let them paw leSS
heed to the golden plavas of which
they seem enamOred and rivet their
attention and gaze on the eternal
green Of our hills which are the
home Of our coffee.

Edited by Mrs. Horriet F ktdd

The Wine and Spirit Gazette of New York. calls attention to the fact that 'the territory from which the sale and manufacture of whiskey are excluded. is in- ereasing from year to year in the United States. The editor there fore concludes that "the work and activity of the National Pro- tective Bureau of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers Asso- citation go for nothing. The money expended on it is money thrown away. Others have come to about the same conelu- sion. They think that tile old and present methods of meeting and fighting temperance and pro- bition leagues are flo good. = American Wine Press.

The Statue of Frances E. Willard.

We have been asked the follow ing facts concerning the statue Of Frances F.. Willard: The state of Illinois appropriated o9.0o0 for this statue, placing the com mission in the hands of q Board. of which Miss Anna Gordon was the chairman Models were sub nitted by several Seulptors of known reputation, and the work was awarded to Miss Helen F. Mears of New York City, a Wis eonsin girl who haS achieved dis tinctior in Ter chosen field of art. The statue was accepted by Con- gress. Feb. T., 1905. with impress sive ceremony in both House and Senate. White ribbeners gathered from all parts Of the country to attend the unyeiling ceremonies and participate in the tribute meeting in the evening at the First Metropolitan M F. Church, Mrs. L. M \. Stevens presiding. The proceedings in Congress i'll connection with the acceptance of the statue have been published in book form, and 16,5oQo copies have been placed at the disposition oI senators and congressman, l,5oo being reserv- ed for the governor q Illinois.

The People Pay

Chicago has not been 50 stirred in years as it k just now over the proposition to raise the price of saloon license from $500 to S1,0oo. Our opinion on tile sub ject has been set forth in these columns. and We forbear repeti- ton. However. We are glad to note that the agitation k serving the usual good purpose in calling attention to existing evils. and that condemnation of the entire license system k forthcoming from many quarters The daily papers are almost t unit n de- manding high license, but they have opened their columns to d discussion of the subject. and thoughtful people have taken ad- vantage of the opportunity to reach the reading public with dispassionate arguments on the fallacy of providing the chief cause of crime and increasing the police force to care for the effects.
 We quote:
 "Double the saloon license and you rivet anew the chains of the most deadly and interruptions monopoly of modern times.
 If the license be increased We may rest assured the additional burden will not rest long on the liquor dealers It will be paid by their werk and wayward vic tims, paid from the scanty wage of weary women, paid from the earnings of sin and shame, paid from the pittance that should go to give to innocent childhood a chance to live and d right te thrive
 As a fiscal proposition, the saloon stands condemned. The volume of money is not increased

For Railroad Commissioner.

R. P. Allen. of Van Buren candidate for railroad commits sioner of the northwest district. was in Springdaie latter part of last week getting acquainted with our people andZhe made q very favorable impression. Mr. Allen k an active and thorough going business man. well acquain- ted with the needs of the shippers of tie state, and is just tile kind of man needed on the railroad commission. In speaking of Mr. Allen ole of his home papers. tie Van Buren Press says:
 Among the Democrats whose names will be before the voters of the Northwestern District for the position of railroad commis- sioner will be that of K. P. Allen of Van Buren. In this eonnec tion Ne will say that 1t would in- deed be difficult to find d man better qualified for this important position than NIT Allen, who since he has reached mans estate has been connected with a variety of enterprises, all of which have brought him into close contact with the railroads and have given him an insight into the needs of the shipper. Mr. Allen possess es good business judgement coup led with large executive ability and should he be chosen aS one of the members of the commits sion the interests of the people would be taken care of and the railroads could rest assured that no demands not based upon iuS- tiee and equity would not receive his sanction. It is not every man that k capable of filing the posi- tion of Railroad Commissioner, that position requiring q discrin- mating and keen perception coup led with practical knowledge of shipping conditions. These Mr- Allen possesses. For years he has been heavy shipper and this has given him | practical in- sight in regard to the needs of the shipper. The Democrats of the Northwestern District will have before them a number emi- nent gentlemen for that position, but We do not believe among them are any more capable of filling the office than Mr. Allen. Of course MT. Allen will carry Craw- ford county, and We hope to see him carry enough of the others comprising the district to land him a winner when the district convention meets.
