EDITORIAL

towards those who fail in their duty
and obligations, Furnishing them for
Ineglecting to give their time, their
energy and attention TO securing for
the country regime beneficial to
Iall.
The people are willing TO pardon
mistakes and errors; but not when
they are the result of disloyalty
and bad faith.
In the present instance they inju
~ done to the col ony is incalcula BILE.
1t can be affirmed that the mission
of the League commission has not
achieved the result which was sought
the Larrinaga bill which, as we all
know was reproduction Of the me
morial of the assembly, may also be
considered failure
That is TO say thay every reform
looked tor is dead, all the labors Of
the League are useless, all the good
hopes have turned out the reverse.
AT the present moment conditions
are worse than they were prior to
the reunion Of the League of Mum
cipalities of the twenty fifth of July.
This is the mournful impression
which prevails. If the politicians
who signed the letters utilized by
the congregation have some reasons
to give for their course, they owe it
to themselves to present them with
out delay, before the feeling in the
public mind against them becomes
more inteuse, feeling which has no
tranquilizing elements for those who
have fallen into the snare of the
government.
But the reasons will have TO be
very powerful and convincing ones,
positive proofs will be necessary in
orde, to satisfy the people who have
been subjected to deception.
If we are not granted a politico-
economic regime equal to autonomy,
if there is not inaugurated an imme-
diatc reform of the presnt system,
taking away its present features Of
mogrebino exploitation. the country
will have the right to demand from
it's political leaders an explanatisn Of
their course in Ob3tructing the road
which leads to success.
Many promises, many hopes, must
have been held out to the prominent
politicians who have not hesitated TO
cooperate in the overthrow of the
League; but let them not forget that
Mr. Post is the scene shifter, let
them not forget his participation in
ihe farce, and that their innocence
and childish creduIity may cost
them dear.
1t is pain ful TO have to confess it;
but our politicians are very simple
and gullible, entirely too credulous
and unsophisticated to compete with
the prestidigitator Of the Executive
Council.

Things have not turned out as

Things have not turned out as
we hoped they would.
The Committee of Insular Affairs,
it would appear from the last letter
of Mr.. Robert H. Todd, has given
heed to the declarations made in fa-
vor of the government by certain
politicians in Porto Rico, rather than
to the assertions contained in the
memorial of the League of Munici-
palities, which leaves no shadow of
doubt regarding the result of the
efforts of that organization. 1t is a
lamentable and pitiable failure.
In the letter which we published
yesterday, is unmistakably portrayed
the loss of hope of the one who
stands in the presence of the failure
OF accomplishing those reforms
which were looked for and logically
expected would be realized through
the aid of the only sources from
ich aid could be secured.
The failure of the League of Nu
inequalities means also the failure of
the Larrinaga bill, natural case OF
cause and effect.
What is the bill of Mr. Larrina ga
if it is not reproduction in the grca-
ter part of the aspirations contained
in the memorial of the municipali-
ties7
And if the latter is abortive, it fol-
lows as a natural consequence that
the bill of our Comm lsSiouer at Was
hington will meet with the same
fate.
Everything has been lost through
the complacent and docile ofhcious-
ness of those who have given such
evident and unmistakable proofs of
submission to the government.
Everything has been lost. El ell
the prestige of future commissi, l s,
all the efficacy that might com from
such a ecourse.
Where is 1t possible to look now
for the means of salvation?
How explain the change of attitu-
de which public opinion has noted
with dismay and alarm on the part
of certain politicians from whom the
country expected something radical
ly different
If the politicians, who in the pu-
bile eye have been derclict, do not
satisfactori by explain their >xtraor-
dinary attitude, and they will find it
difficult, it will not-as Mr.. Todd in
sinuates with biting sarcasm in his
letter-be praises and enconiums that
they will receive from the people;
what they will have TO look for and
may confidently expect is the most
pronounced abandonment and forfei-
ture of confidence.
People do not look with favor on
those who serve them badly and ig-
more their interests; they show their
dissapproval no in uncertain manner

chamois Skin Of Commerce.

Charles C. Druedling, of Philadel-
phia, has written an article for the
American Journal of Pharmacy on the
subject OF chamois skins. What is
known in the market as chamois skins,
he says, is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply of
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained
in year to supply the United States
for more than single day He made
special inquiry on recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop of
the channels skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb. also much coarser. For strength
and durability the channels skin Is pre-
ferable, but for ordinary use and APP
pearance the obtained sheep skin
lining would, In most instances, be
preferred.

A bright lady teacher found this to

breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago contracted very
annoying form of indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
