advanced by the Head Of the Depart
ment Of Justice ought to be allowed
to prevail, and the certainty as to
what laws are in force in Porto Rico.
The stupendous assertion of the
Attorney Genral appears to be bold
|attempt to convert himself into the
sole arbiter of justice, and were the
absurd, impossible and idiotic crite-
rions of the magic councillor allowed
to prevail he would be taking the
place Of the codes. the courts and the
laws.
Can the House Of Delegates. which
approved the Civil code, which ap-
proved the present Law of Waters
|anothcr monument to the Spanish le-
gislation inaugurated in this Island
consent TO the caprice and whlm of
funCt onary who seems bent On nulli-
flying the acts of the Legislature and
making void laws which are now in
force and to which various amend
ments have given new lile'
In March 1903, the Legislature
adopted an amendment to the above
law, modifying it two years later by
amending article Ir3.
In other words, the Legislature
has every year ratified the existence
of that Law, confirming its indispu-
ia bic validity.
But it now occurs TO the Attorney
General that his authority trans
cends that Of the Legislature and he
declares that the Law of Waters is
practically dead letter, because he
interprets all the existing legisla-
ton on the question according to his
whims and capricss.
This is not coercing the lower
House, it is not imposing the unli-
mited will Of the functionaries and
power-plainly feudal it is someth-
ing worse and more unbearable; it
it absolutely ignoring Legislative
authority, it is making sport Of our
laws, it is laughing at our legitima
te sovereignty.
1t is a pity that the Governor has
not asked for letters on this subject,
similar to those he secured in con
nection with another matter. They
would surely make curious reading,
did he attempt to Justify the action
Of the oracle in refusing to recognize
as Legitimate law confirmed by the
lnsular Legislature.
A complete rectihcation on the
part Of the Attorney General is ne
cesSary, and if that functionary refU-
ses to make it, an Interpolation sho-
uld be made by the House Of Delega-
tes for the purpose Of asccrtaining
how it is possible that the validity Of
our laws can be 50 questioned, and
whether formalities and prcccpts
exist regarding them or whether the
re is no other course than craven and
humiliating submission to the whimS
and caprices Of the congregation.

The degree of respect which the
authority of our Legislature inspires
in the congregantes has recently
been shown in the Executive Coun-
Gil by the oracle of the congregation.
The capricious denial on the part
of the Attorney General Of the vail
dity of the present Water Law, illus
trates once more the extent to which
presumption may go in the insolent
|repudiation of existing laws by the
congregation, whenever it sees fit TO
ignore Legislative thority and
question it's precepts.
1t occurred some days ago to the
oracle OF the congregation to give
the most surprising and original ex-
hibition in the line OF novelties with
VIII ich we have been favored by our
tutors.
The Attorney General says that the
Law of Waters is not in force, that
theEonly regulation in Porto Rico
relating to this subject is the prov
ision of the Organic Act which con
fers upon the Executive Council the
power to grant franchises and conces-
sions; he seems to think existing laws
subject only to the whims and cap
rices of the generous councillors.
And the Attorney General thinks
this because he labors under the
monstrous mistake Of believing tn t
the Law of Waters is a political one.
The Law Of Waters a political
One....
The inventions of Mr.. Post, the
writings of the youthful sociologist-
who is the chief of the liquidators--
are not to be compared as marvellous
and wonderful performances to the
remarkable declarations made by
the oracle, in accordance with the ex-
perimental. and expansjonist school
and with the purest doctrine of the
new American methods.
The Law of Waters IS a political
one according to the latest rcsear-
ches made by member of the inef-
fable congregation. that grand body
of superior men whose providcntial
and redeemig mission has not been
recognized by some icOnoclastS
But the authority who now speaks
cannot be questioned or denied.
The oracle has pronounced his infal-
lible sentence.
This is the same indisputable ora
Gle Who now says that the Law of
Waters has lost it's force in Porto
Rico by virtue of the precepts Of the
Organic Act regarding franchises
and concessions.
The question is one of trascendent
importance, not only because it in
wolves the pointing out Of new
error on the part of the congragan-
tes, but also of knowing how to as
sertair whether a law is in operation
or not, and if the mOnstrous doctrine
