! ci6n, y como en- este case hubo un
cambio, el gobernador Post nombra-
do por el presidente Roosevelt, de
bia presentar su renuncia para q. ell
nuevo presidente tuviera libre cami-
no y pudiera nombrar un funciona-
! rio : su gusto para el gobierno Gle la
isla.
Asf pues, es el presidente quien
quita al gobernador Post Las reti
cencias contra puertormquenos son
injustas; tan injustas como el men
safe que contra ellos formula el pre-
sidente. Esos elementos no son puer-
puertorriquenos; nj son partidos
politicos puertorriquenos; nj son
asunto puertorriqueno. Entendemos
que hubiera sido mas justo haber di-
cho el gobernador Post que Sc lie agra
decian sus servicios pero que va era
tempo de ponerlc termino. Es injus-
to dejar entrever ingratitudes puer-
torriquenas, ALI donde solo existen
combinaciones pollticas de los pro-
pios hombres de 60 bierno Es tempo
de que termine la historic de conven
cionalismo que con Puerto-Rico Sc
tiene. Sc debe hablar claro. 81 el 60
bernador Post dimite y Sc marcha,
no tienen de clio la culpa los puerto
rriquenos. No estamos aqui juzgan-
do 81 el trabajo de este gobernador
fue 8 no agreeable; nj estamos
discutiendo 81 debe 8 no debe irse.
Estamos simplemente rectificando
el curse que en- este asunto ha queri-
do imprimirse a las ideas y probando
a nuestro pueblo que Sc lie toma CO.
mo a un muneco, de juego para pre-
sentarle como responsible de COM
binaoiones que favorecen intereses
agenos, echandole la culpa dc GUAM
to a los demas convene hacer y pre-
sentandole como ingrato hasta del
aire que respira, como 81 nuestros
compatriotas vivieran de llmosna
y como 81 no fueran capaces de en-
tender cuando,e ,en el billar de la poll
tica, Sc les quiere tomar de mingo
de juguete.

en- ella Sc establecerfan condolences
para que la naturalization fuera con-
ce dlda. Y es evidente tambien, que
esas condolences estarian prescritas
Gle tai modo, que ninguna persona
cuya condici6n no agradar9 al con-
greso, pudiera naturalizarse. Esto
serla odlosamente injusto. Ell gobier
no de los Estados Unidos ocupo esta
lsla por un acto de guerra. La fuerza,
no nuestro consentimiento, fue el
agente. Cuando esa possession Sc tom6
Puerto Rico estaba ocupado por I'm
pueblo en- el cual habfa individuos
de dlstintas classes y condolences. Es
SOS individuos Gran iguales ante la
ley. La opinion publica refejada en-
los partidos politicos y toda una lar
ga historic de amos de lucha por nues
tras hbertades, hablaron siempre de
nuestro amor 4 la igualdad ante la
ley iQue puertorriqueno seria capaz
hoy Gle aceptar SIN protesta el prape-
leglo que esa ley signifcaria? SQue
norte americana sensato aprobarla
que el Congreso votara una ley que
estarla profundamente en- conAicto
con la constitution de los Estados
U nidos?
En- los Estados Unidos existen
antagonismos de raza. Aquf ventu-
rosamente no existen. 81 al Congreso
ocurriera poner trabas a la natu-
rallzaci6n de los hombres de color de
Puerto Rico, causaria a la isla un da
no terrible, porque traeria a ella preo
cupaciones y antagonismos que hoy
no existen " por que .hacernos csc
dano? Los puertorriquenos conside-
raron siempre como compatriotas a
los hombres de color nacidos en- la
isla. Cuando aqui Sc pidio libertad
y Sc lucho por dcrechos, todo el nun
do penso en- que clos alcanzaran a
todos los hombres nacidos en- el pals.
No pensamos que haya hoy puerto
que quieran traer a su pals
las terribles luchas que entire blan-
cos y ncgros existcn en- los Estados
Unidos. Aceptar una ley que tales
diferencias pudiera establecer en- la
isla, seria pcligroso.
Asf pues, estimamos que en- la pre-
gunta del QUESTIONABLE a que aludi-
mos, debiera consignarse motlros de
Puerto Rico, en- donde Sc dice ciu-
dadanos de Puerto Rico. Y que la ul-
TINA pafte de la pregunta que Sc re-
fere una proposition substitute, de-
biera eliminarse del QUESTIONABLE.

ertorriquenos dignos, desacreditado

En- casos tales,j cuantos murcielagos

de desprecio por el mismo pals que

bres y creera grandes patricios a la
turba encanallada que para subir

Making a Kings Counsel.

To most people it must often appear
that the legal maxim, Every man
knows the law" was invented by some
wag. 1t would be much more correct
to say that no nan knows the law,
and the general public are. generally
speaking, also totally ignorant of the
am in which a man becomes a
K. G. In the ordinary purse of things
any barrister of ten years standing
is supposed to have the right to apply
for silk, and If he thinks that he has
any chance of gaining the honor be
applies direct to the lord chancellor.
But the etiquette of the bar demands
that any man who applies for silk
shall write and inform every member
of his circuit who is of longer stand
ing-that is, who has been called to
the bar for a more extended period
than himself-of the fact that he has
so applied. This intimation gives the
senior an opportunity of considering
whether he should himself apply and
by doing so maintain his right of
seniority. The decision of the lord
chancellor is final on the question.
When he has decided to make a new
batch of silKs the applicants who have
been succes Sful are informed Of the
fact, and the appointments are duly
gazetted.-Dundee Advertiser.

The Way to Catch EIeas.

That the flea is elusive is proverbial,
but that the bureau of entomology of
the department of agriculture in Wash
ington hit upon a plan to circumyent
the irritating little insect is not gen.
orally known. According to Van Nor
den's Magazine, the government has
discovered a method by which any
housekeeper may rid herself of a Wis
itation within a very short time.
Fill a glass three-fourths with water,
on top of which pour about an inch of
olive oil; then place a night float "a
little wick inserted in a cardboard disk
or in a cork disk in the center of the
oil. Place the tumbler in the center
of a soup plate filed with strong soap
suds. The wick should be lighted at
night on retiring or may be used in
any dark room. AS the soup plate
soapsuds trap is placed on the floor
of the room it does not interfere with
the sleeper, and the ieas which are
on the floor are attracted to the light.
For o~utbuildings, such as barns, etc,
a large milk pan may be used, and In
stead of using olive oil and a glass
a stable lantern may be placed in the
center Of the pan, while instead of
soapsuds a scum of kerosene may be
put ON the water in the milk pan.
This method, it is said, will rid a
house of the pests in a few nights.

"Retter Dead"

A Massachusetts farmer sent a large
black hen to his married daughter,
who lives in Springfield and who wish
ed to keep this present as a pet. Upon
the arrival of the fowl it was immedi-
ately placed in a coop which CHANGED
to be within sight of the street.
1t wasn't long before a neighbor,
passing by. said:
"Got a hen. haven't your"
EYES," said the new owner.
"Nice black one, isn't it?"
Eyes"
This neighbor was almost tmmedi-
ately followed by another, who made
the customary observation:
"Why, you have a hen"
Eyes"
"Just one?"
"Yes."
Goal black hen, isn't it?"
Eyes"
An intermission of a few minutes,
then another neighbor:

Saying these words, George, the
handsome; George, the best travelling
salesman east of the Aleghenies;
George, the inveterate poker player,
took his gripsack and went quietly
into the bedroom. There was a fear
full and wonderful screen before this
door, and one in that room could hear
and see all that was taking place in
the parlor, himself unseen.
1t was not very long before George
heard Mary in the parlor moving the
tables, but he never interfered in the
household matters, and indeed Annie
was a famous housekeeper. His face
was covered with lather besides. Then
he heard the door open and his wife
enter. He could not decently rush out
and kiss her until be had got the
lather off his face, so he fastened the
operation, but was suddenly checked
by hearing his wife say:
Now, hurry, Mary. and get the ia

improvements Here and There

Dr., w. /. Kelchner's cottage on
West Oak avenue has just received a
coat Of pure white paint which gives it
a decidedly neat appearance. The Doc

enjoys his outing trips here.
James Gemmel is improving his
West Wildwood avenue bungalow with
the addition of dormer windows in the
roof, thereby adding several bed rooms
under the roof.
Miss Sara A. Sweeney has enclosed
her property on West Poplar avenue
with a neat wire fence. After an ex-
tended stay here she has gone to
Media, Pa, for the winter.
The Hotel Glenwood on Glenwood
avenue is being much improved with
a coat of paint. The annex, which is
being constructed on the lot adjoining
the hotel, is rapidly nearing compile

tractor @. j. Scully. Mr.. and Mrs.
G. II. Meeker, the owners of the prop
erty, are still here.
Washington Hilton has just finished
