Ell meior comentario al acto impOli-
tco que hemos censurado en- ediciones an
teriores, 10 ha puesto aver ell primer
peri6dico republican, de la Isla.
Parece que 10 del parvulismo va pa
reciendo va insufrible los que saben
que son hombres como los demas, y que
Sc explota su debilidad con una injuria,
pretendiendo la justification de una
torpe tiranla.
PerO sigamos transcribiendo:
Ell bueno de Hunt, que no logro
dominar a los miembros del gobierno,
ccmetio ell error de "crear un gabine-
te" con los f,lncionarios americanos,
excluyendo, asl, a los nativos de to-
da intervention en- las funciones de go
bierno, a pesar de 10 que reza termi--
nante la ley. "Que los cinco MEM
bros del Consejo Executive, asistiran
a todas las sesiones del Consejo Eje--
cutivo "tomaran paz'te en- sus delibe-
raciones, de cualquier caracter que fue
rem etc.
Muv bien. Ese parrafito parece es-
critic para los consejeros natlvos, y muy
especialmente para los del partdo que
pertenece Gel Tempo
Puesto que tomdrGn porte en- las dpIo-
zadas deIiberdciones. aplazadas hoy por
falta de quorum, pueden volver por los
fueros abandonados demostrar al go
bierno que la epoca de la sumlsion ha
pasado la historic.
AL seiior Sanchez Morales, cuya pre-
sencia en- el Executive no tlene la Justlfl-
cacion que ell doctor Barbosa, Sc lie pre-
senta ahora la OCCASION de hacer meritos
V ganar posiciones solidas. secundandO La
actitud que parece iniciar ell articulo del
6rgano republicano
Los consejeros nativos tomaran parte
en- la discussion del presupuesto Ell mo-
mento es dif1cil para ellos, y 10 seria
tambien para sus colegas los continental
les, 81 ell gobierno de la Insula fuese
un gobierno de opinion.
Y terminamos con otro parrafo del
colega:
La Ley Foraker tiene que ser re-
formada a breve plazo. 81 ella con-
siente un acto de tirania gubernativa,
como ell que sc pretende llevar a ca
bo, debe ser bor1.ada de los Estatu-
tos de un pals democratico, que no
puede tiran1lzar a un million de habi-
tantes, sometiendolos al capricho de
I'm pu1ado de hombres, que no respe-
tan la voluntad del pueblo pue1'torri-
queno, nj la suprema del pueblo anne
ricano.
iQue dice este la juventud republica-
ma de Ponce?

that he is hooked up with the interests and thinks the

while he has opportunity Thirdly, he may be only
whisting keep his courage up We are not prepared

ousy from within and bitter opposition from without have
combined sufficient of capital and labor to erect
for themselves Knight of Pyhias hail. which cost them
in round numbers quarter of million dollars and the
daily papers of that city unhestangy declare that it is
quite the equal Of that of the most imposing building in
the city and by the far the most imposing building owned
by black folk any other city in the United States OF
America The edfce is free from debt to the stock
holders and that it will be paying institution to them
