Il earnestly advocate the adoption of
legislation which will explicitly confer
American citizenship on all citizens of
Porto Rico. There is, in my judgment,
no excuse for failure to do this" SO
said President Roosevelt in his last an
nual message. AS yet congress has not
complied with the recommendation, nor
is there any indication that it is likely
to do so.
III their petition to congress the Porto
Ricans say: Rather than have gov
eminent of our own we have applied
for American citizenship. If you grant
us citizenship. as we hope you will, then
you must grant us Immediately home
rule. There cannot be in the world
American citizens who have no right
to designate their own lawmakers, and
who have nothing TO say about the di-
recting and administering of their own
interests"
How far it would be judicious to go
In granting the people of Porto Rico
the home rule they desire-is a question
for careful consideration, but there can
be no doubt that they should be given
American citizenship They claim to
have been promised this when the island
was taken possession of by the United
States, but however this may be it is
now plain matter of justice that they
be made American citizens and there
should be no unnecessary delay in con-
ferring this upon them. When that has
been done congress may consider at
leisure the demand for home rule as pre-
scented in the petition.

Germ or apprehension respecting the
ability of our people to supply them
selves with food. Not only are there
millions of acres beyond what are being

A NEW PENSION QUESTION.
Spanish War Veterans Piling on the
Roll at a Lively Rate.


The house on Thursday passed the an
nual pension appropriation, amounting to
$40, 1000. AS usual it has been passing
private pension bills by the hundreds. And
this in spite of President Roosevelt's eX-
ectutive order making any man over s.
years of age pensionable. The general bill
passed this week gave the force and effect
of law to the presidents order, thus ad-
hitting that the authority to make It was
at least doubtful. So We now have gen
eral pension appropriation of $4,000, 00t
hundreds of private pension bills, and legls-
lation proposed by the house which will
give pension to every man who served In
the union army who is more than 81 years
old 1t was thought. by the way, that the
presidents order would stop the flood OF
private pension bills. Apparently IT has had
no such effect
But II is not of civil war pensions that
we are now thinking. Our policy with
reference TO them is fixed. But are we
not In danger OF OVERRIDING the business IN
connection with the pensioning of men en-
gagged in the Spanish war? That wal
lasted only four months. The total enlist
ments were only 274,00O, OF whom only
$1,000 were actively engaged. Yet Mr.
Gardner of Michigan. who had charge Of
the pension bill in the house. gave It a.
his opinion that twenty years from now VI
should still have 10000 names on the pen
sion roll, OF whom 1920 would be charged
10 the spanish-American war. Alread!
there are more Spanish-American soldiers
on the roll than there were in Shafter
army, which numbered 1900 men. Nor,
than one-fourth of those who saw activ,
service are now pensioned.
We think that this thing should b,

WASTE OF COAL.
Progress of Experiments Designed TO
Check It.

Philadelphia Press.
Americans are noted the world over as
an extravagant race. Economy is surely
virtue about which the people of this
country care little But in no other respect,
perhaps are Americans more wasteful than
in the use of coal This brand OF fuel is
consumed at a frightful rapidity. Judged
by the way In which they are turned into
ashes It might be supposed that every hill
from Maine to California were bursting
with unmlned anthracite or bituminous. In
round numbers, the United States burns
$50 OOO,0C0 tons of coal every year, which
costs the consumers approximately 500, 600,
900. This is a moderate estimate, although
while householders pay upwards of 81 a
, ton for anthracite in the eastern cities the
great bulk of bituminous costs the con-
sumner less than. 81 a ton. There is nearly
five times as much soft coal burned as
hard coal ..t.r..
The United States geological survey is
now carrying on a series of Investigations
with view to stopping the needless waste
of this precious fuel, HOW TO get the same
amount of heat or energy by consuming
less coal is the problem. SO far its sx
perlments have been interesting. even II
they do not reveal any specially new fact
or may not be fruitful of immediate and
| practical results
It has been demonstrated with Iowa
bituminous that a ton OF coal, IL first con-
verted into gas and then burned. will
produce almost three times as much energy
as II the coal were put under a heller to
generate steam directly. In other words,
a gas engine eats up only a third Of the
coal that must be fed into a steam engine
that will do the same work. Off-hand, II
| looks as IL at one stroke the nation might
save nearly s5o0cOo,OO0 annually.
! However, like many another experiment
, which works handsomely in theory. this
one is less satisfactory in practice. Engi-
neering experts say that while the gas gen
orator saves nearly two-thirds of the coal
! required by direct steaming, yet the far
greater cost of installing and maintaining
the gas engines just about consumes the
| difference. so that there is but little econ
omy after all Nevertheless, II will be a
fortunate day when a way is discovered
to stop the awful waste of coal which is
now depicting the countrys fuel resources
with appalling rapidty.

OUR FUTURE PROSPERITY

There are some persons who take a
pessimistic view of the country's fu-
ture. believing that we are too rapidly
using up our resources. They are ap-
prehensive, also, that the time is not
remote when we shall not produce suffi-
cient of the products of the soil to sup
ply the wants of our own people and
must import more or less largely from
countries which have an agricultural
surplus.
In letter to the Philadelphia Ledger
Mr.. Willis l.. Moore, chief Of the United
States weather bureau, considers from
a meteorological point of view the pros
poets for a continuation Of the present
prosperous conditions, so largely depend
ent upon the products of the soil. He
remarks that there have now been four
years during which the great wheat
and corn belts OF this continent have
had an abundance of rain during the
growing season, and the fifth year back
d9O1), while having a deficit over the
corn region, had a surplus over the
spring wheat states that produced a to-
tai crop of wheat in excess of the aver
age. For the four years preceding these
Ave the rainfall was generally little
below the average, but the product of
the cereal crops was fairly good Mr..
Moore says ii is possible to have an
other succession OF four years OF boun-
tiful rain. but 1t is highly improbable.
/ One thing. however not to be forgotten
is, that as the result of the teaching of
agricultural science through the Depart
ment OF Agriculture and the state agri-
cultural experiment stations farmers
now understand how to get fairly
good profit from the soil under condi-
lions of short rainfall that formerly
would not have returned a profit to the
husbandman. "our country is SO large, -
writes Mr.. Moore. "and its climate So
diversified, that II is almost impossible
for meteorological conditions 10 injuri-
ously affect more than a portion of our
agricultural area. For instance. IL
would he practically impossible for this
country to have such famine as oc.
easionally occurs over large portion
of India and which leaves the people

Science is teaching us more and more
each year how to minimize the seyeri.

not a word of dlsapproval has been heard
from one end OF the state to the other.
Score one for us! An English woman has

But the explanation does not help matters
Japan's ally will not catch on for year
or more.

has been robbed The thieves left word
that they did 1t for joke. but as the joke
cost the editor 5000, he thinks he could
have bought several better ones for the
money.
