EDITORIAL !

How carefully the interests of.Por-
to Rico are looked after by some of
the bureaucrats is strikingly illustra-
I ted BY the discussions that have ia
ken place in the Executive Council
regarding the placing of tariff on
foreign coffee imported into the
United States, which the House of
Delegates has. asked the national
Congress to impose.
Certain of the members of, the
congregation do not seom to realize
that they are in the Executive Coun-
Gil for the sole purpose of serving
the interests of Porto Rico; on the
contrary, they are to all appearances
obstructioniSts, striving to defeat the
aspirations of this people.
What rea sons have been discov-
cred, so powerful and potent, to
Justify the congregantes in refusing
their approval to petition so natu-
raj and SO JUST
What new arguments have been
found to warrant the utter lack of
consideration displayed in the oppo-
stion to the logical arguments which
resolutely proclaim the justice of our
cause2
Is it nothing more than the ridicu-
Ions opposition of which we have
heard so much, an opposition based
on the ridiculous pretensiOn that it
would be unjust to sacriice eighty
million people for the benefit of one
million2
One of the most important mem
bers of the congregation has said that
it would be unjust to favor one mil
lion people at the expense of placing
burdens on eighty millions, as would
be the case were a new tax to be
imposed, particularly as the greater
part, almost the whole, of the latter
are poor Ia 2borcrs.
This, in effect has been said by a
man who draws his salary from the
people of Porto Rico; this has been
said by functionary and seconded
by other congregantes, all Of whom
live at the expense of the Island
whose inhabitants in the greater part
perhaps the totality are not poor lab
orerS' put hungry peasants who are
una bic TO find work
What reason SO untenable, SO weak
and so ridiculous as the one advan-
.ced by the sensational papers in the
mother country and repeated with
servile adulation by some unhappy
ones in the colony!
So the majority of the American
people is poor? What discovery!
In every country the majority of
the people is poor; we we'll know
that the people of the United States
are no exception to the universal
rule; we are aware of the fact that
the misery and wretchedness in New
York is on a par with that of London,
but the government is not to be held

all lin its power to remedy the social
We very we'll Know here that pet
pie s1'over the world are poor; buos
are our people not also poor2
Have We here gold in unlimited
quantities to give away, have we
here prosperity to such an extent
that we can dedicate ourselves. to the
protection of foreign industries and
products so that the workmen of
other countries may receive high
wages3 '''+t
The Attorney General knows very
well that such is not the case. He
knows very well that in this Island
from the time Of the imposition of
the Dingley tariff, the ruin caused by
the cyclone and the abandonment of
the government, that our coffee mar
ket was destroyed; and what was not
ruined by those visItations was left
to the mercies of the fisco, SO thai
there is not now left a vestige of the
former opulence, of that prosperity

misery and the distress rampant in

than can be endured, nor should he
strive to move us with fancied fore
ign misf0rtuncs when onrs. which are
real, have no other origin than the
change OF sovereignty which makes
our people the slaves Of others.
A protective tariff on coffee would
as We have said many times, be mo-
re advantageous for the United Sta
test than for us.
The federal treasury would in
this way obtain forty five million dol
lars more of revenue, and this would
serve to reduce other taxes paid nov
by the people of the United States,
should the government not require
1t. in order to reduce the deficit in the
national budget, to increase the ma
Wy, or for other purposes.
The forty five million dollars
would not be for us That sum would
remain in the national treasury, and
as we have said, if not needed to
make good the deficiency in The
budget, it might make possible re
duction in the internal revenue taxes
Tor be utilized for the construction of
the Panama Canal
The greatest advantage, the most
pronounced benefit would accrue to
the national government, which al
the same time would be performing
an act Of just reparation and brii-
liant economic operation.

bOWLERS MEET
To REVISE RULES

Followers of -teHFiHs- generally are In
terested in the next move OF the recently
formed National bowling body. Several
important matters will have to he dealt
with at the coming meeting to be held in
Brooklyn on May 10 and among other
things, the question of individual regis
tration is to be threshed out. At the last
session on April 10 when permanent or
ganization was effected. this policy was
suggested by some OF the delegates pres
ent, though no official action was then
taken.
In the opinion OF a number OF prominent
bowlers the plan has merit and is worthy
Of careful consideration, for II addition TO
the benefits TO be derived from extra rev
enue. IL would also tend to stimulate indi-
vidual interest In the welfare OF the or
ganization. Another question has TO deal
with the date for the National tourna-
ment. With many. IL had been taken for
granted that the tourney would be held
some time In March. but one OF the best
known exponents OF the game in the
United States has suggested a week either
in the latter part of September, or early

on the other hand. there are those who
are emphatic in the contention that fall
date is entirely too early. their argument
being that a majority OF the bowlers are
not keyed up TO sufficient degree or en-
thusiasm to do the affair justice. They
say that nothing earlier than December
should be attempted. The selection OF a
name will also have TO be made shortly

The Rochester team went away from

be After losing the first two games to

Cronin was in the box and what the
Bronchos did TO him was a caution. To
his credit be IL said. however, that the
day was toe eeid fer much good work
and having worked on Thursday so nobly
his lack OF form was eXcusable.
Where the Grays were weak was al

trouble that the champions will have for
the season OF 1906. Such men as Thomas.
Jackelitch and Mcfarland are not with
the team this year and even Conn could
be counted upon 10 hit at times so as
10 break up the form OF the opposing
pitcher. OF these men only MacFarland

then the team will have all the essential
qualities for a winning bunch.
All the team seemed 20 go TO sleep at

team when everything broke badly. Cleary
had his wing In excellent working order
