combine autocracy in money with
democracy in men has naturally
come to grief in Porto Rico. When
we took over Porto Rico, we decided
to give it certain amount of self
government, by allowing its Legia-
lature to veto appropriation bills.
This branch OF the Legislature has
recently threatened to veto all APP
bills unless the admin
istration at Washington allows it
to get through its own measures.
Under present conditions, not
only in Porto Rico, but in all the
West Indies, it seems impossible to
conduct a government giving com
plete autonomy and allowing every
body to vote. Every one who is ia
miliar with the situation admits
that it is impossible to introduce
pure democracy under our present
capitalist system there and expect
things to run along without friction.
Our present system of society re-
uuires a certain amount of autoc-
racy to grease the wheels, go to
speak, and it requires more of this
grease of aristocracy in countries
like the West Indies, where there
are SO many illiterate negroes, than
it does in other countries.

what pure democracy comes to in.

ROYAL NEIGHBORS
HAVE GOOD TIME

The Royal Neighbor reception
given in Masonic Hall last Thurs
day evening was an unusually en-
joyable affair.
Some time ago the members of
this order divided themselves into
two parts by drawing numbers.
Those holding odd numbers formed
one side and those that drew even
numbers formed the opposing side
and these two factions then began
to canvass for members, it being
understood that the side securing
the greatest number of members
would be banquetted by the losers.
The odds were the losers and
they surely did themselves proud
the way they entertained.
The evening was spent in playing
"5O0". Fourteen tables were filled
and after five games were played
prizes were awarded J. A. MAJ.
uric won the gentlemen's head
prize, leather collar and cuff box
Miss TenEyck captured.the ladies
head prize and was awarded a beau
tiful china cup and saucer. Mrs.
P. R. Lynn and Geo. Harris were
awarded the consolation prizes.
After cards an oyster supper was
served. The feature of it was the
cake that was made in the colors OF
the lodge, purple and white, and
the napkins and table spreads of the
same color.

Members of the board of railroad
commissioners have been notified
by the Great Northern road that
the company would no longer rem
der bills against private parties fol
the maintenance and care ot
switches and switch lights on pri-
vate tracks. This is the last COM
pany to abolish this practice.
The new ruling will take effect
at once. As previous to this time
every owner Of a private track in
this state was forced to pay a
monthly bill to the railroad COM
pany for maintaining switch lights
and keeping the track clean from
snow and the innovation will mean
