EDITORIAL

The persons in the United States
who hold sacred the democratic trad
itions of their country are scandalized
on hearing Mr.. Roosevelt refer tc
Mr.. Bellamy Storer, the represent
i've of that country to Austria, as hi,
Ambassador.
This exhibition of assumption is
contained in an official communica-
ton sent to the government of Aus
tria. 1t was not, therefore, an inv
ention of some adversary of the
President.
Mr.. Roosevelt has said my Am5ass-
sdsy, thus characterizing represent
ative of the great Republic in the
same way that the German Kaiser or
the Car of Russia speak of their
representatives.
American democracy should feel
gravely offended over this declarat-
ion of Imperialism; the press and
public opinion should protest; but
Mr.. Storer the Ambassador of Mr..
Roosevelt, should rise in his career.
and occupy posts of the highest con-
tldence and honor.
All the American indignation which
has been manifested as a result of the
note of the President, has passed
under the feet of his favorite Ambas-
sador, without producing on him the
slightest feeling of uneasiness or
danger.
President Roosevelt has spoken of
him as his, and to such no harm can
come.
Let US have hope. There is a
power in the United States to which
nothing is impossible, which is be-
yond laws and which has no limits.
That power is called Roosevelt.
Who knows but what the dav NAV
come when Mr. Roosevelt will speak
of Porto Rico as my Island.
His Island
And in that event, the land of
Canaan would be an inferno compar-
ed with ours.
From the Island of Roosevelt
would disappear all hunger and des-
potism.
And whenever the lips of the Pres
ldent should utter the two words: nv
Island! it would seem as If soft and
perfumed breeze, a benediction had
descended to gladden. and rejoice the

souls of those who lived in such a
blessed land.
What glorious happiness and fell
lcIty would then be ours!
Mr.. Roosevelt would not consent
that his Island should be made the
scene of the abuses and high handed
acts of the congregantes, he would
net permit the auction and the fore
ed safe. He would neither allow
the neglect of commercial interests
nor the exploitation of industries and
the countless other outrages which
the citizens of this foxgsften Eskonx
are now compelled TO endure.
When in the Island of Roosevelt
roads were built, they would be made
solid; when school houses were
erected, they would be suitable for
the needs of the country; when loans
were contracted they would be for
the benefit Of agriculture, in order to
solve crisis produced by an unlock
ed for disaster.
None of these things would be
consented to or permitted by the ar-
: ASL pAO pA1CAO4, lAC t4lGuIV owner.
and If, envying our felicity, our happ-
mess, some hostile power should in
the slightest manner threaten Our
