EDITORIAL

The excellent and timely article
Of Mr.. Matienzo Cintron, published
in La Correspondence on Thurs
day, in our epinlon Ipfers striking
proof of the learning and wisdom OF
its author and shows the close and int
innate relation in which he lives with
public opinion. He has, in the arti-
Gle in question, recognized fully the
true impert of certain features of the
presidential message, gauging exa-
city the popular sentiment touching
this most important document, which
holds for US q problem of vital in
tercst.
The article of Mr. Natienzo Gin
tron clearly expresses, in concise and
vigorous language, the true value
that the country should place upon
the inexplicable and extraordinary
theories contained in the message of
President Roosevelt.
Perhaps the closing paragrs phs Of
the article will be frowned upon and
criticized by certain discreet persons
who will make strenuous efforts to
belittle the splendid work of the po-
pular and talented Portorican orator.
Whether the members of the sacred
coterie do or do not listen to the
words of Matienzo Cintr6n, they carry
to the congregation and to those who
govern the colony, the weight of au-
thority possessed by him who speaks
in the name of a majority of Portori-
cans, who share fully his views on
this matter.
In the article to which we are ref
erring are found these words;
IN conclusion, let us state the
whole truth without fear of favor:
Citizenship without self governm ent
is worthless.
It's to belittlc the citizenship that
is so cmphatically denied us; it is to
say to all the world that American
citizenship and servitude are comp
atible
This is the plain truth, the truth

pure and simple We wno have been
taught in a school Of democracy, free
from all imperial taint, what are the
rights and perogatives of citizens,
are unable TO comprehend how it is
possible to speak at the same time
of dignity and servitude, of citizen
ship for colony npon which it is
sought to continue the imposition of
a feudal regime, sanctioning it by
the recommendation of the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Matienzo Cintron has voiced
the sentim ents which we expressed
on the same day that Mr. Roosevelt's s
message became known here; we
said then: Citizenship without self
government is worthless
Citizenship without self govern
ment is net citizen ship.
There are things that are incon-

bestowed upon the congregation; we
do not know by virtue of what dex-

ptionism has won such a signal vic
tory. such a grand triumph over
justice aud democracy at the expen-
Sc of the Colony
How explain this strange, this Ia
mentable confusion of citizenship
and coloniage, save. by the assum-
ption that the President wishes to
maintain the congregation as means
Of furthering his policy and in order
10 provide colonial sinecures2
There is no Disgusting the fact
that great triumph has been won
by those who have sordid interest
in continuing the explo itation of the
colony, and it is necessary, in order
to counterfeit this assault, for the
Portoricans to stand firm and defend
their interests with an undaunted
and loyal spirit, to point out unceas-
ingly the mistakes and dangers Of
redemptionism, which does us incalc-
ulable injury.

The SUNNY South.

Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased in the north, the term
sunny south" and all that it means,
appeals with full force to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
it is case of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season. In the
sunny south something can be
raised every month in the year, and
practically every day can be spent out
doors. No billiards. No sunstrokes.
Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large
profits are made with little labor in
growing fruits, vegetables, etc., for
northern markets. Strawberries and
cantaloupes are great revenue getters
Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful
Lands cheap and productive. For re-
liable information, address G. A. Park,

Agent, Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company, Louisville, KY.

MEANING IN ORIENTAL RUGS.
Significance Among Eastern Nations
of the CoIors Used.

Not only the designs, but the col.
ors of rugs woven in the orient are
full of significance
They represent national or individ.
ual traditions, they stand for virtues
and vices. social Importance or social
ostracism.
They are the result, says the &c.
lectic Church Magazine, of the polit-
ical and religious histories of the
countries in which they were made.
Tyrian purple is almost universally
regarded as royal.
Red was regarded by the Egyptians
as symbolic of fidelity.
Green has been chosen by the Turk
as his gala color, but he Would not
approve its use in rugs where it would
be trodden by the feet.
Rose tints signify the highest wis
dom, black and indigo sorrow, with
the Persians. Preference for duller
tones of color among the Persians
give to all their embroideries ard
other products of the loom a certain
richness and dignity.

The American Adder.

A full-grown adder may measure
two feet in length and about six inches
around the thickest part of its body.
It's movements are sluggish, and of
course the universal idea prevailing
among the natives of this country that
it is capable of transferring it's head
from one extremity to the other once
every six months is due simply to SUI
perstition. The fact is that the tan Of
this snake does not terminate in a
point as with ophidians generally, but
is stumpy and resembles the head so
much that it is difficult for an OBJ
server situated at a distance of few
yards to distinguish the one from the
other, hence the story Of its being two
headed. the fallacy of which no intelli-
gent observer could fail to detect

Some years ago Lemuel Ely Quigg
than a congressman, expressed the
opinion that the police commissioner
of New York city should be IAN in
telligent despot." The idea was ridi
culed then, but Mr.. Quigg derives
some satisfaction from the knowledge
that the grand jury of New York coun-
ty has made a recommendation ap-
preaching somewhat closely to his
view. The commissioner, says the
jury, should hold Office for at least ten
years and should be removable only
upon proof of charges which he has
had opportunity to meet.

years indicate that AZ per cent. have

cent. from public schools. Of private
school pupils, 1853 we're dropped after
the first term and Ill from public
schools, and the percentage of failures
among the public school graduates is
much lower than those of private
schools. Consequently, the Cornell
faculty favors withdrawing the priv
