ISSUE IN PORTO RICO
Its Bearing on Our Theory and Repre-
 sentative Government.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 We can really accept the president B views that tho measures which the pop ular branch is trying to force by this means ara not essential to the we'll being of Porto Rico. and may easily be in several instances mischevious, and in- spired by personal ambition. But that fact is not so vital as the historical one that the power which is proposed to be taken away is the foundation of all constitutional governments. It was by that power that English liberties were established It was the denial of that right which caused the Revolution which created this nation. It is solely by that right in the most arbitrary government of Europe that the Russian Duma is able to maintain in check an autocracy. It would certainly put the United States in paradoxical attitude ofter it had granted the constitutional right to de pendency to revoke 1t because the right is used with poor judgment.
 No doubt it is vexatious to have the Porto Rican politicians use the legisla-

THIS IS MY 66TH BIRTHDAY
ALBERT A. POPE

Albert A. Pope, the pioneer in the de- velopment of the bicycle industry in the United States, was born in Boston, May 20, ls43, and received his educa- ton in the public schools. Family re- verses compelled him to earn his living at comparatively early age. At ff- teen he was employed as a porter in the public market in Boston. In 1862 he went to the front as second lieutenant of Massachusetts infantry regiment and served until the close of the war. Returning to Boston he opened small establishment to deal in shoe manufac. turers' supplies. He first saw bicycle at the Philadelphia exposition in 1876, and two years later he gave the first order for bicycles to be manufactured in the United States. In few years his company became foremost in the bicycle industry, with the main plant in Hartford, Conn.,, and branch factor ies in & number of other cities. Later, when the popularity of the bicycle be- gan to wane, Colonel Pope embarked in the manufacture of automobiles and soon became one of the leaders in that industry in America.

tive power indiscreetly, and probably selhshly. But politicians in other coun- tries and states than Porto Rico have passed foolish bills for unworthy mot ives It is certainly worth considering whether the United States cannot bet ter afford to let Porto Rico bear the penalty of the misdeeds of her represan- tatives than to assume the responsibil- ity of abrogating the vital principle of representative government.
 The situation eminently Illustrates low the colonial policy leads a repub- lie into courses neglsctful of the funda- mental doctrines on which our consti- tutional liberties are founded. We clearly recognize President Taft as the most liberal and progressive exponent of that policy. But for the sake of the United States, rather than of Porto Rico, his recommendation is one to be considered with the greatest care before adoption.

NIMRoDs NOW AND THEN

Kermit got splendid shot at
 close range while the giraffe was
 standing, and one bullet suficed to
 stretch it's long body on the ground.
 When Colonel Roosevelt found that
 Kermit had killed giraffe, he
 slapped the youngster on the back,
 and with characteristic enthusiasm
 exclaimed, Good work, my boyl' 7"
 Many years ago when Kentucky was the dark and bloody frontier of our Westward, Hol" an English Nimrod sought diversion from the effete civili- zation of the old World by a sojourn among the pioneers and Indians. Tir- ing of big game, he planned squirrel hunt, and sixteen -year-old boy was de. tailed as guide. During the day the Euglishman asked the boy if he could shoot a rife and gave him chance. The boy shot a squirrel out of the top of a big oak trse. The Engiishman was enthusiastic in his praise, but when the boy picked up the squirrel he burst into tears and told the astonished Eng lishman that his daddy would give him 8 h-l hckin' when they got home; that he had shot the squirrel in the head, but had missed the eye.
 The old Kentucky hunter was evi- dentiy more particular than our colonel.

RIGHT NOT TO SELL
Its Limitation Suggested in the Case
 of Monopoly.

From the Now York Globe.
 The decision of the court of appeals that the American Tobacco company may sell to whom 1t pleases, and may refuse to sell to whom it does not please, should not be allowed to pass without word of warning. The decis- ion Is one that may easily return to vex the state. We do not know that the court could have reached any other conclusion, but that is beside the point. We are concerned, not with the legal reasoning involved, but with the eco homie possibilities of such ruling.
 One of the most serious complaints that can be urged against any concern that has & substantial monopoly in it's field is indulgence in one or more of tte well known forms of cut throat price manipulation. A monopoly that undersells in certain places or on cer- tain articles, or that refuses at all to sell to certain persons, Is in a far diff ferent position from person or con cern that, without enjoying a monopoly, engages in such practices
 It is worth considering whether we should not have plain rule of law in this state prohibiting such discriminat i've selling when the seller controls a very large part of the product. And this may be suggested without any pur- pose but that of serving the very bsst interests of all concerned-those of the large sellers as we'll as those of ths small buyers. Any one who would think the possible effects of such decision giving to monopoly some of the pre- negatives supposed to appertain chiefly to political or commtrcial autocracies would be a poor friend of even the biggest sort of business. There are cer- tain principles of fair dealing and fa.r business which this country began to feel in it's bones long ago. You cannot overcome them without excavating the bones-which would not be particu larly agreeable, or even safe under taking.

THE PEOPLES FORUM
ERRORS CORRECTED
 Globe, Arizona, May 19.

Globe, Arizona, May 19. To the Editor of the Silver Belt:
 In your issue of the Silver Belt of the 18th instant, wherein you review to some extent the matter of the kill ing of J. W. Weaver and the trial fol folwing the same, your paper states that: "The tragedy was witnessed by her brother, Emmett Gaynor, who was standing, it is alleged, at the end of the hall when the fatal shot was fred" The article further states: "By many it was believed that Mrs. Hessler and her brother, Emmet Gaynor, had enticed Weaver to the City hotel for the pur. pose of staying him in revenge" etc.
 We, as attorneys for the defense, ask correction of the foregoing, as we deem it erroneous. No matter what belief some parties may have enter tained, the evidence did not show that Emmett Gaynor enticed Weaver to the house when he appeared there shortly before the unfortunate killing, but that he went there of his own accord and alone.
 Also in further justice to Emmett Gaynor, We desire to state that there was not particle of evidence going to show that Emmett Gaynor was in the hallsat the time the fatal shot was fired, or that he was a witness to the tragedy.
 We believe your paper desires to be fair and that the errors mentioned were unintentional, and we make this state ment in simple justice to Emmett Gay nor, and believing further that the yer dict of the jury acquitting Mrs. Emma Hessler was fair, proper and just.

The Austin bill which provides for
a Commission Of five members to have
full charge of the revolving of liquor
licenses will probably never get out
of the committee on claims If reports
from Madison are to be believed, but
the bill has aroused such interest all
over the state that revised bill along
the same lines, but which does not go
quite so far may be introduced at the
next session. A bill that makes it
mandatory on the Commission to re-
woke saloon licenses on conviction of
the ofenses named, provides that the
appointments of the members of the
committee shall be confirmed by the
senate and shortens their terms of
service would remove the most power
full objections to the present bill. It
is ad1nitteds that the usefulness of such
a Commission would depend entirely on
the character of the men composing it,
but with the powers conferred by the
bill the right kind of Commission
could put most#o of the dives out of bust
ness in a year or two.
