BURLADORES DE 81 MISMO.

Algunos puertorrlquenos lgnorah-
tes, deseando congraciarse con nor
teamercanos capaces de sentlrse
adulados con el descredito de los de-
mas, han solido hacer satlras y bur-
las del latlnismo que CORE por las We
mas de los puertorriqunos.
Alguien hablo en- la isla hacienda
una bella expression simb6llca, del
alma latina; y de esa Erase hlcleron
aquellos ilusos material de vlles
chanzas en- las cuales menosprecia-
ban SUI propio origen, SUI car5ctcr dis
tintivo de familia y de hogar.
l De estos atrancesados hay en- todas
parties, pero los de Puerto Rico pre-
sentan la peculiaridad de hacer coro
a ciertos elementos eNtranos al pals
que le menosprecian y le burlan ocul
ia u ostenslblemente.
Y vease ahora 10 que la prensa de
los Estados Unidos noticia. En- una
reunion reciente del comite de Atlas
Escuelas en- New York, fue dlscuti-
tida una solicitud de alumnos Gle la
alta escuela de Jottenville, pidien-
do que sea sustituido el estudio del
aleman, por el estudio del latin. En-
aquel meeting Sc acordo referlr la So
licitud la reunion en- pleno del
Board de Educacion.
Ell estudio de una lengua u otra es
ALI electiva, pero parece que algu-
nos estudiantes que habian elegido
el aleman, despues de cierto tempo,
desean cambiarlo por el latin.
Cualquiera que sea la resoluci6n
que su solicitud obtenga, queda
probado por la reaidad que en-
el plan de estudios del estado de
New York, Sc incluye el estudio del
latin, asi como que jovenes estudian
tes le pre6eren al aleman. Esto de-
muestra que en- aquellos centros de
cultura no Sc menosprecia la lotini-
dad nj Sc la burla, sino que por el con
trario Sc la reconoce digna de estu-
dio y de formar parte de I'm plan de
moderna cultura.
La ignorancia solo puede reir de
que los puertorriquenos muestren
con orgullo SUI ascendencia latina.
Hljos Gle este pals incapaces por SUI
falta de cultura y apasionados por la
politica de partido, afectando dcfen-
der excelencias de los sajones, inten-
tan a veces deprimir con torpes iro-
Mas la grandeza latina. Ignoran e
llos que Ia civilization moderna 10
es; ignoran que las lenguas eultas lie
deben gran parte Gle la riqueza de su
lexlco; ignoran que en- los Estados
Unidos y en- todas las naciones cul-
tas, el latin y el griego estan conside-
radios en- la categolia de monumen-
tos.
sPero, que sabc esa pobre gente
Gle estaS cosaS? Debcr de los hOmbres

torpe propaganda que contra el ori-

dichados que cometen la bajeza de
burlarse de su propio origen.

triotas esten prevenidos contra esa

toro, como en- el pals Sc dice de los
ignorantes y los necios.

JUDGE HOUGH UPHELD
Highest Court 4frmS Decision in
TrnchOma Cases.

There va. much disappointment among the rep
ressntatives OF steamship companies yesterday over
m. decision Of the United States Supreme Court
uphoIding Judge Hough in his ruling in favor Of
Nevada N Stranahan former Collector Of the Port.
who fined steamship companies without hearing
for bringing this country persons su1erins from
trachoma in violation OF the immigration act The
opinion. written by Associate Justice Nhte' WIS
received here yesterday
The Oceanic Stern Navigation Company and the
International Mercantile Marine had been com
PEELED pay fines aggregating $1,000 They sued
to recover the grounds that previous notice had
not been given and that they should have had an
opportunity 10 be heard. The companies paid un-
der protest
The suits were begun in 1906 and tried IN June.
1907 They were argued IN Washington in January
Not all OF the instances when fines were collected
were Included, but enough were cited to make IT an
effective test case. Judge Hough. without jury
decided for the government. and the case was ap-
peaIed to the United States Supreme Court without
taking It TO the United States Circuit Court OF Ap-
peaIs. The fines were imposed under Section OF
the immigration act of 1906. which says:
II shall be unlawful Tor any person including
any transRortston G9aPsns ots5 9 ian 13s co
tiE7lous territory. or the owner master, agent or
consignee Of any vessel. TO bring to the Cnted
states any alien afflicted with a loathsome or with
dangerous contagious disease
II ia nroyided further that IL IL shall appear to
the satisfaction OF the Secretary OF Commerce and
Labor that any alien so brought into this country
afNiCted
ernbarkation and that the existence OF the disease
might have been detected by means OF a medical
examination those responsible for the embarkation
shalI be fined 800 for each violation OF the act and
that clearance papers shall not be issued until the
fine has been paid There were extensions OF time
first Of fourteen and later Of sixty days. but this
was said 10 have afforded little relief.
Counsel FOR the steamship companies cited the
case OF Wong Wing against the United States.
where the court held that punishment for an
infamous crime could be inflicted before judicial
trial had held. The court held. however, that
the trachona cases not infamous crimes. and
that the penalties could be imposed BY eXecu-
tive officer, thus upholding the power Of Congress
to authorize the imposition of fines without trial.
Another point whether the penalties were IN
violation OF the nth amendment 20 the United
States Constitution and amounted to taking or
property without due process OF law. The court
held that the power OF Congress over immigration
was such that It could authorize the fines without
giving the steamship companies any previous notice
or an opportunity TO be heard.

Star" said he believed In the agitation for state

permanent committee to inquire into the subject.

FISITORS THE BEST CROP
Bermuda Farmers Decide To Aban-
don N6tC YOrk, as Produce Market.

from Ths Tribune BureauI
Washington, June bermuda farmers have de-
teTmined practically abandon New York as
market for their vegetables and devote themselves
70 the more profitable crop OF tourists. according
10 a report iust received from W. Maxwell Greene
United States Consul at Hamilton. Mr. Greene
outlines the factors which steadily diminished
the PROFITS derived from catering TO the New York
produce market. and adds:
This seasons experience has pointed the way 10
the future OF a Bermuda again prosperous,
where the farmers who devote their fields truck
ing are vending their produce daily instead OF
seIni-weeNy, ara supplying a home market where
the returns immediate. and freed from the
weight Of the crop mortgage. under which alone
they were able To produce the former staples.
Work has already been begun TO enlarge the prin-
cpal hotels 10 enable them 10 deal with the future
tourist raftc, and now hotels will he erected dur
ing the coming summer. Both Bermudan and
American capital IL involved In these works.
for the Investment Is considered emluently sound.
This may well be. since the most conservative
innate leads TO the conclusion that tho nine thou
sand visitors this have brought Bermuda
at least $L0o0.ooo Of American money. The trans
portation facilities SO far have been good. and
susceptible of increase 70 meet the demand.
