week DIR. Wise's topic was do or Die
VS.. Don't and Die" He said:
Theodore Roosevelt is the great
saving asset of the Republican Party,
because he is rightly held by the Ma
ton to be scorner of consequence.
Roosevelt is greatest when he is him
self. his daring and achieving self.
when, shaking off the trammels of par
ty allegiance. he dares to follow right:
aye. to lead the people Alright. The
test of his courage is yet to come If 1t
should become his duty to appeal from
his party in Congress- to all the parties
in the Nation for the support. enact
which are justly and equitably to serve
the welfare of the whole American
people"
President Roosevelt has given his
approval to the report of Special Agent
ROadstrom. of the Department of JUS
tice, and Chief Clerk Conser, of the
Gov. Frank FrantZ. of Oklahoma, from
charges filed against him. The two
men mentioned made an investigation
of the charges and reported some time
ago. but the President had not passed
upon the report before. There is a
story that the President may appoint
Capt F'rantz. who was a brave soldier
in the Rough Rider Regiment. to an
other position and select some one else
Governor of Oklahoma. but this cannot
be verified. Two other Departmental
committees Investigated Gov. Frantz
all reaching the same concluson-that
he was not guilty of the charges.
Better faithful than famous" Don't
finch; don't foul. Hit the line hard"
Here are some epigrams fresh from the
coinage of the Roosevelt mint, when
speaking to some young students in a
football team.
Here is man who might herd with
Senator Tillman on the race question.
Senator Tillman would have all the
illiterate negroes shot. or words TO that
effect. A man has written Secretary
Ronaparte letter. in which he sug-
gests that the United States declare
war against some powerful Nation. and
then force all .the toughs bootlegs,
desperadoes and bad characters gener-
ally" to rush to the front and get kill
ed.
He further suggests that the Nation
which the United States picks a scrap
with for this purpose be one that is
ignorant of the rules and ethics of war.
but whose people know how to shoot
straight and to hit vicious Nation
The Secretary. in his reply. told the
correspondent he was not entirely clear
in his proposed plan, and that he was
unable to give an opinion as to its mer-
its.
Mr.. Bonaparte also called his atten-
ton to the fact that in previous wars
the percentage of desirable persons
killed was much larger than that of the
bad characters.
For several months past. under
authority of the Postmaster-G General,
the subject of increased compensation
for letter carriers in the rural delivery
service has been looked into very care
fully by Assistant Postmaster-Genera
De Graw. ThorO study has convinced
Mr.. De Graw that the present compen-
sation of the rural carriers is made
qUate.
He will recommend to Postmaster
General Cortelyou a substantial increase
in the maximum salary allowed them.

'The United States has built moro
schools and good roads i'll Porto Rico
during the last nine years than Spain
built in 400 years." says Antonio Blan-
co. a merchant and steamship owner
of San Juan, Porto Rico. who has been
in Washington a few days. "All over
the island the schools are going up.
and American teachers are being pro-
vided for them. 1t viii not be moro
than another decade before English viii
be the prevailing language. And why
shouldn't it? We are Americans now,
and the only thing we are complaining
about is the fact that We have no terri
torial form of Government.
We have free trade with the United
States. and as a result we imported
s19.000,0 600 worth of the goods which
this country shipped to Central and
South America last year. The total
value of those exports to Central and
South America was only $4,000. 900.
On the other hand, we exported S31,-
100000. Coffee has fallen off some. but
sugar and tobacco production is con-
Stantly increasing, with the result that
the island is more prosperous than it
has ever been before. 1t is difficult to
get land there now.
But. after all. what we want is
closer political relationship with the
United States, and We think we shall
be aided great deal in accomplishing
that by the visit OF president Roosevelt
on his return from Panama. He will
see that we are an intelligent. progress
sive community, and that the repre-
sentations we have made are substan,
tiated by the facts. We hope he will
make some recommendation favorable
to us in his Message to Congress-
The country is safe with a President
again a resident of the White House.
The President of the United States
is again on American soil. and looks as
though he had enjoyed his trip i'm
mensely. He stopt at Porto Rico and
took an automobile trip across tho
island. He was magnificently enter
.ained there with receptions and vari-
Gus public functions. and was loaded
up with facts about the island. The
President has not had time to do any
talking as vet, and may not do much
until he embodies in his Message to
Congress the theories and ideas he got
while making his hasty trip South A
good many things have been said which
were imputed to the President but
they do not bear the Presidential sane
tion. so it is not at all likely that much
of the impressions" which have been
circulating thru the press are really the
impressions of the President 1t will
be remembered that no newspaper peO-
pie accompanied the President, and he
has not been giving out any interviews.
Mrs. Roosevelt is brown and happy
looking, the sea voyage having agreed
with her as weI. as 1t did with the
President.
