SPANISH RULES BETTER

Porto Rican Commission 8lames Am
orleans for Present Crisis.
Washington, March 24.-That Porto
Rico was governed better under Span
ish rule than under American admin
istration: that the Spanish-American
war and the consequent occupation Of
the island by the United States has
ruined the coffee industry. the most
important in the island, and that the
executive council, composed largely
of Americans, is responsible entirely
for the present crisis, were the declar-
ations made tonight by Louis Munoz
River, chairman Of the commission
here. The commission was appointed
By the House of Delegates to lay be
fore President Taft, Congress and the
American people the reasons for the
existing conditions in the island and
ask for concessions from this coun
try, both in regard TO the form OF
government in the island and on the
tariff proposition. Chairman Rive
explained that all Porto Ricans want
ed was Justice and that Americans
are not giving them this.
Commissioner Larings, delegate
from Porto Rico to Congress, will en-
deavor tomorrow to arrange for al
interview with President Taft.

partIes Die FIrst at the Aeart.

Abundant evidence exists, says
Charles Edward Russell in an article
in Success Magazine" that the cam
paign of 1852 sounded in attentive
ears a note almost as hollow and per
functory as the campaign of 1908
sounded TO us. Observers generally
thought il was a strangely dull con
test; no one seemed TO care. Person
al popularity failed to breathe life in
to dead issue5. To superficial think
ers the old-time Democratic party
never seemed so strong and lusty as
after the great victory OF 1852, and
nothing was clearer than that into its
hands forever had been entrusted the
affairs of the nation.
And vet all the time the organiza-
ton that to mems eyes sat thus alert
and holding the scepter was but dead
within. Parties die first at the heart
after that theirs are but stimulated
motions. albeit made in the very
manner of life While the hymnals o
victory we're still resounding tn,
force was rising that was destined Il

AuTHoRLEss LETTERS.

A discussion is on in several OF the
state papers relative to the printing
of communications which are mot
signed by the writer's real name, not
exactly a discussion because the edi-
tors are all of the same opinion that
a person who writes for the public /
should be willing to stand behind |
what he says with his name. The |
Journal is of this opinion. too, al |
though it makes exceptions once in a |
while IS the other papers are in the
habit of doing When it is evident
that the article submitted contains
suggestions of a valuable nature and
| it is evident also that there is no NAL
ice buried between the lines some
where. that the paper is not being
fused as a vehicle for personal prejud-
ices, the Journal sees no harm In
printing such an article under a tic-
ticious name.-Montpelier Journal.
This is an old argument and there
is a good deal that can fairly be said
on both sides, but the Banner is of
the opinion that citizens of good stand
ing in the community should have the
right to bring their views before the
public without signing their names.
People are so apt to accuse persons
of wrong or selfish motives that they
do it when no such motives exist. If
Collins Graves writes a letter to the
Banner on political subject and signs
his name some people will say that
he is trying to earn his money as a
beneficiary of the Republican party.
If Ward Lyons writes letter, the top
ic of which is in any way political
and signs his name, certain ones will
wag their heads wisely and say that
he is working for some future prefer
ment when the Democrats are in pow
f er.
A business man in retail trade hates
to make enemies by commenting on
local topics and signing his own name.
A lady does not like to attract dis
agreeable attention to herself by sign
t ing her name to letters on public
abuses. The Banner even questions
if the effect Of the letter is as good II
signed, because the personal motive
real or suspected, is then taken into
consideration. II the letter is signed
Citizen" or Taxpayer" it depends on
the letter itself whether it has any
effect. The argument made has tc
stand on its own merits and can be
taken only for what it says and not
for something that is thought to be
back of it.
