a distinguished German scientist and
professor. makes report on the health
OF the seventy-ilve employees OF Ger

interest just at this time because OF the
increasing popularity or beer IN the
United States, as shown by the recent
report of the Commissis uer of Internal
Revenue that during the past year the
people of the United States drank 49,
UOJ.0JJ more gallons or beer than dur
ing any other year in the history OF
the nation, and there is less intemper-
ance than ever before.

BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-12-21

Is It that Mr.. Rooseve1t believes
that complete citizenship may exist,
that there may be absolute enjoyment
OF its rights, in colony where Ger
tain branch of the government cons
tantly lntervenes, neutralizing by
exotic power-the power of the Exc
|cutive Council-which is omnipotent
and from whose acts there is no
appeal3
Under such conditions. how is it
possible for Us TO enjoy all those ri
ghts of citizens which Mr.. Roosevelt
asks tor in behalf of the colonists?
What sort Of citizenship is that
which denies the right of a people
to administer their own affairs?
What IS the value of citizenship
which does not free US from the tu-
torship Of the congregations
1t is not our intention to make anv
extended comment ol the strange
recommendation Of Mr. Roosevelt. It
seems sufficient to put the above
questions, though while we are rec
tlfylng errors, we desire to call at
tcntlon to the remarks of the Presi-
dent touching the present prosperity
of Porto Rico.
He states that the last year was
the most prosperous one that the Is
land has ever known before or since
the American occupation. The total
exports and imports reached the sum
of forty five millions. And the Pre-
s1dent goes on to state that before
the American occupation, the grea-
test trade for any one year was that
of 1896, in which it amounted to
twenty three millions. In this com
putation the provincial money, viii
ch we had here under the old sove-
reignty, has been reduced to Ameri-
can money.
Therefore the imports and exports
en- 500 were not twenty three mi
ll1ons; they amounted to thirty seven
millions. Since that time more than
ten years have passed, and in ten
years it is natural that co untry
should progress and develop as has
Porto Rico, continuing the. prosperity
SO happily begun under the old re-
gime.
1t is not possible to admit that the
progress Of Porto Rico had reached
its limit in 1896.
This is an other Of the errors that
should be expunged from the official
of the President.

EDITORIAL

With the highest consideration fo1
President Roosevelt. we propose te
make some comments on his special
message to Congress, whose most
important paragraphs may be found
by our readers in the edition of yes
terday.. s.
With the exception of certain stat
ements which should be rectihed, the
document is deserving of the highest
praise.
1t is in its greater part eminently
satisfactory for us and contains a
relative defense of the Island.
Each paragraph Of the message
indicates profound sympathy and
interest for Porto Rico, and the Pre-
sident shows his enthusiasm for the
beauty and attractiveness of our Is
land, which he calls the S7Uuserlana
of the trsticS.
Porto Rico has made splendid
and deep impression on Mr.. Roose-
welt. 2blcs d---.---
He distributes his praise without
partiality on things which merit it aud
on the functionaries in general, ma
ny of whom instead of des erwin 2
praise, merit the severest criticism.
The President also speaks of citi-
zenship.
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Roo
sevelt has observed his promises; we
know that in the spheres of power in
the mother country there las been
heard a resounding voice which spe-
axis of jvstice and of right in the
grantin4of citizenship to the Porto
Full Md complete citizenship, no
emasculated form of it is what Mr..
Roosevelt has specified in his mes
sage. Real citizenship, with all it's
rights and perogatives, is what the
President declares should be gran
ted to Portoricans; bit in the same
message there are congratulations
for Nj. Foraker, the unhappy author
of the Organic Act, which is Still in
force in Porto Rico, and it also re
commends the continuation of the
Executive Council in it's present
form.
This seems very strange and mex
pllcable. Is this the opinion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on this most impor-
tant matter, after the continual and
unceasing protest of the country aga
inst the continuation of a tyrannlca1
regime, plainly feudal2

A Novel "War Measure"

New York-On a charge of making dies to counterfeit the standard sil yer dollar of Venezuela to finance a revolution in that country, secret ser vice officers have arrested Capt. Geo. Boynton, former resident manager Of the Orinoco Corporation of Venezuela, and l.. B. Thompson, an attorney, both of this city. Both prisoners were admitted to bail in S5,00O. Joseph Keller and Sidney A Keller of Keller Bros, diemakers, were also arrested in connection with the case. The two principals aver that the plan to duplicate Venezulan coin Is not counterfeiting. Later, after the re yolution proved successful, they sald it was expected to legalize this issue of money. both by executive decree and by act of the Venezuelan Iunta- The arrested men characterize this plan as a war measure . They also allege that half of the South American risings are similarly financed
