Hot Times Expected In
Congress.

The Picavune Of Last Tuesday
says:
Whatever may be the nature Of
the business that will come before
the session of Congress yesterday.
it would seem that it is going to
start out with two sensational mat
ters.
One OF these will be the dismissal
Of the negro troops who were en-
gagged in the riot last August at
Brownsville, Texas, and the other
will be the. issue which Japan has
ma0e because japanese students in
California were excluded from the
white schools and sent TO study
with the Chinese.
The former question forebodes a
war by the radical negrophilists of
all parties in the North on Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and the o'her fore
tokens an international controversy
with the Japanese, which sooner or
later will result in war.
The Southern Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress should
support the President to the last
gasp In any dispute that may arise
over the righteous treatment award
ed the negro military rioters, and
they should resist to the last ditch
any movement to force the objec.
tionable races into the white schools
""he two matters are seriously mo-
mentOue.

Whether the government likes or
does not like the course pursued by
the Ponce INGREDIENTS, taken indie
pendently of it and other official in
lhuences, it will have to be esigned
to the cooperation given the measu-
re by other economic CARNATIONS,
just as it had to be resigned to see
ing all the country with rare and ina
posing unanimity, defending and ap-
plauding it with enthusiasm.
The absurd theories which some
members of the Executive Council
express with cynical disregard, in
defence of interests plainly foreign,
which they wish to place before our
own need not be taken into conside-
ration in matters in which the CON
greganleS have no concern neither
should the redemptioni-t opinions
land wishes be considered Of the least
NOM
It is essential that the Chamber Of
COmmercn be not confused with the
BJard O t Tl0dr If this last organ1-
cation in spite Of the graceful court
.eSy extended to it by the Ponce
merchants, does not suitably respond
to the delicate compliment extended,
the Chamber Of Commerce, which has
not, neither should have, TIE car
riying out Of lab0rs which without
doubt pertain to the Board of Trade
in matters of commercial expansion
and policy, will speak in the way the
country expects and has 3 right to
look for.
The moment is suspicious for ha-
wing clearly fixed and defined the
friends upon whom the country can
count in cditical times those who
place before and above all other int
.creats those Of the country, and those
VINO attempt to pu5 other interests
first, which, no matter how respect
able and worthy Of support and de
fence they may be, should be consi-
dered Of secondary Importance to the
sacred AID vital ones whose defence
belongs peculiarly to us.
There is an aspect Of cg0ism
which is sublime: the instinct of self
preservation. universally recognized
in the right of self defence.
Well then; let Us exercise this
