In the event similar litigation now in

successful, it is quite likely that several
traternal bodies in Mississippi, notably
the Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights
Of Pythias, will institute proceedings
to enjoin negro fraternal organizations
from using their names, or names SINH

negro Masons, Pythians and Odd Eel"

of the white lodges. They also wear
badges almost identical in design with
those worn by the white organizations.

EDITORIAL

We continue today the discussion
of the matter that engaged our at
tention yesterday.
1t is a subject regarding which it
is impossible to say too much and
the present is time OF undeubted
opportunity.
The Ponce section Of the Chamber
Of Commerce, which has always been
active in defense of the agricultural
interests of the Island and has invar-
iably recognized the fact that coffee is
the product upon which Porto Rico
depends for its economic prosperity,
|assuredly has in mind some plan for
|seconding the project, originating IN
San Juan, of presenting to President
Roosevelt a memorial asking tariff
protection for oLr coffee.
All the economic organisms of the
country should energetically second
this sensible and timely suggestion,
to the end that it may assume all the
importance that it has in reality and
be publicly recognized, and there is
no question bat what all have some
interest in the economic reha bi1ita :
ton of the Island. in the present in
dustrial depression which constitutes
menace and an evil whose effects
are far reaching.
Were we to undertake now to point
out now the many and cogent reasons
which exist for the assertion that the
coffee industry, now in a condition of
crisis, is the chief economic force of
the country, it would be impossible
in the short time remaining before
the arrival Of the President, to con-
vince ael those who have the obliga-
tion of cooperating in the success of
the proposed plan, that the prosperi-
ty of the coffee industry is the only
thing that can bring industrial nor
mality to Porto Rico.
Of this there can no doubt. There
is not the slightest question but
what Our economic salvation dep
ends on this alone.
In the few, days rema iniDg until
the Presidents arrival in Porto Rico,
the economic organisms, the indus
trial associations, the agricultural in
terests and the country in general,
without the necessity of1urging, ard
with only the notice that the mo-
mcnt has arrived. ought to put into
operation all their forces and etfo-
rts to defend that which isof such
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-11-16

vital Importance to he whole coun
try.
What is proposed, is beyond the
shadow of doubt fo1 the protection
of all, and it is singular that ere this
all the organisms interested in the
improvement of the coffee industry,
have not united for the purpose of
seeking form Of making their des-
Tres known and which will enable
President Roosevelt to comprehend
fully that it is the nanimous aspi-
ration of the colony that Portorican
coffee have the same tariff protection
as is here given to productsof the
United States.
We do not make the mistake of
believing that it is only necessary
to ask Mr.. Roosevelt for what we
desire IN order to attain It without
any further efforts on our part; we
have no such illusion, nor are we
suffering from over confidence; but
we do believe that the time is op-
perfume and propitions, when the Pre-
sident IS in our midst, to call to his
attention that it is vital need of the
country that the same tariff protec-
tion be given to Portorican coffee as
l. is give to other products of the colo
ny and all those of the United States.
Even were we without a vast array
lof data to offer in support of our
contention, it would be sufficient
to point to the Customs monthly
report, which gives the following
figures:
During the month month of Octo-
Der 1906. coffee to the value of four
hundred and fifty nine dollars was
exported to the United States and
in the same month the value of that
shipped to foreign countries smoun-
ted to four hundred and lightly eight
thousand seven hundred and four dol
lars!
Such a showing reqaires no COM
meuts, the difference is so remar-
kable that one cannot dwell upon it
without dismay, and it is very evil
dent that unless the gational po-
wers grant ample tariff pyoteetien
for our coffee that the American
market for that product will be IT.
remediably lost.
To secure such protection must be
our constant and upwearying effort,
and it would be folly to neglect any
opportunity that presents itself to
make our voice heard.
