and although the Assistant Commits
sloner of the Interior laiaht be ex-
cused and tolerated in his stupid
performances as master of the docks,
IN the exercise Of which he LasAx-
cited the laughter and at times ar
cused indignation and alarm, his ac-
tion cannot be condoned while at the
same time his combaRre5 have TO tell
him things SO serious md so crave
as those contained in the letter of
Mr.. Post.
1t is the fondness so apparent in
our tutors Of undertaking everything,
their ambition to dominate and con
troll, their feudalistic proc1ivities, that
is responsible for the unsatisfactory
conditions that now exist and while
they interfere ii the management of
the wharves and docks, ia private
affairs, the public services are neg
lected to a greater or less extent, so
that It IS impossible, according to the
confession OF Mr.. Post in his recent
letter, for one to arrange tha itine-
rarry Of trip without satisfying hims-
elf as to the condition OF the roads
by a personal observation.
This should be hint to the func-
tlonarles IN general and particularly,
in this case, to the one most concer-
ned, that it is unw;se to undertake to
put IN order the house Of another
when his own is completely demora-
lied.
Before carrying the n1onopolizinq
zeal which is peculiar to redemptio.
nism, to the point Of attempting to
regulate the business Of the docks.
the Commissioner of the Interior, or
his assistant, ought first to see that
the defects in his own department.
are remedled, those things which
really are in his province and are I'm
der his legitimate control.
Because just s We anticipated, the
interference Of the congregantes in
matters outside of their jurisdiction
has turned out badly and redemptio-
II mist intervention has reached the
extereme limits of absoption and do
mlnation.
The country Is now suffering from
| the consequences Of unwarranted Of
tlclal intervention
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-10-24

We are not in the least surprised
atthe adverse results arising from the
intervention of the redemptionist
congregation in the SO called polio
ing of the wharves.
In this, as in many other things
where the wisdom of placing under
the jurisdiction of the congregantes
the most important organisms Of colo
NAL life has been discussed, we are
in position to affirm most emphati-
cal1y that it is "a great mistake to give
to the functionaries, who already pos
sess sovereign faculties, new powers
and authority that would make them
we'll nigh omnipotent.
With 1amentab1e frequ ency- almost
daily-we are hearing that the inter
ference of the functionaries who ha-
We, thanks to law passed at The ex
traordinary session of the Legislature,
obtained control of the docks, is eau
sing injuries and damage to the bu-
siness men Of Porto Rico.
The congregation ought not to go
outside of the sphere which is plain
ly marked out for it, attempting to
regulate those things which pertain
to the province of private industries.
The congregantes ought, at least,
TO be able to attend to their own Of
fetal duties; but while the Assistant
Commissioner of the Interior is en-
gagged, according to the daily press,
in interfering with the unloading Of
wagons Of molasses, on the cock of
Mr.. Crosas, the colossal Mr.. Post was
inditing that memorable letter in
which he expressed such an exact
judgment on the present condition of
the roads of the Island.
This is a conclusive demonstration
that tie work Of the Department Of
the Interior is not receiving proper
attention, and that the functionaries
have determined to carry on, even to
the docks, their prosecuting mania
which will degenerate-as we have
remarked several tines-into a sinis-
ire plan Of cata strophic liquidation
1t is very strange and very alb
normal condition that there should
be useless departments, as well as
congregantes useless to a degree
that is inconceivable and has DO equal;
