Everyone is doing we'll; everyone of any
consequence at all rides around in his

This refreshing bit OF news was
brought north by Judge of the Supreme
court 3. L. Rodey, who arrived in New
York from his district in Porto Rico this
week. Judge Rodey sat on the bench IN
Porto Rico for over a year, and during
that time he made a close study Of che
island from a physical as well as a
political standpoint as TO the treatment
of Porto Rico by the United States.
Judge Rodey was particularly qualified
TO observe, for he was formerly United
States Delegate from New Mexico.
In describing the happy conditions in
Porto Rico, Judge Rodey grew nthusi-
sstic. He can hin OF no part OF
