Olmsted bill in the last Congress provid-
ing for American citizenship for the
Porto Ricans, and q civil constitution
in the Senate, after being approved In
the House, has contributed more to ere
ating anti-Anlerican feeling.
Citizens and a part Of the press are
openly proclaiming the idea of the
independence of Porto Rico. and there
Is no doubt that such sentiment has
it's real cause in the action of the
Senate.
ut may be well to state" continued
Mr. Iglesias, that the 100000 labor
ers of all classes who are now pro-
ducing six times as much as under the
Spanish regime generally live In the
utmost misery, all of which goes to
show that this deplorable state causes
a very unstable equilibrium in the
economical and social standing or the
island.
THE immense wealth remaining IN
hand or capital obtained progressively
through gain by the laboring masses
during the last ten years goes back
to the shareholders and proprietors
living away from the island instead OF
being reproduced or utilized for the
wealth of the cities, industry in gen.
eral better remuneration Of the wage
workers and the necessary sanitation
and identifying Of the cities and towns
Of Porto Rico.
1.-THE people Of Porto Rico who re-
main in their country are thus reduced
to the conditions OF human beings
working In a large factory in their
own land, only to benefit those who
live away from 1t and who scarcely
know anything about It,"

APPEAL FOR RIGHTS
Natives of Porto Rico Want
Full Citizenship.
PETITION PRESIDENT TAFT
Delegates From Commission of Labor
Here to Urge Legislation
On the Subject.

Because the United States has failed to
grant to the people of Porto Rico the alb
solute right to be American citizens and
tional rights possessed by the citizens of
the other states and territories, the Porto
Kican commission of labor will petition
President Taft and the American Fedora
ton of Labor to have introduced in Con-
gress a bill granting to the people Of
Porto Rico full American citizenship.
Headed by Santiago Iglesias,. organizer
for the American Federation of Labor in
Porto Rico, Rafael Alfonso and Joaquin A.
mission, have just arrived III Washington
and are preparing to present the COM
plants to President Taft and the officials
of the American Federation of Labor.
The charge is made that the lack of
citizenship has put the Porto Ricans in
the shameful position of people without
country and places an arm in the
hands of the reactionary element in the
island, which profits by it's campaigning
that the United States wants to maintain
the Porto Rcans as interiors.
At recent convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor IN Porto Rico,
resolutions protesting against the failure
of the republican party in power to keep
itself to grant citizenship to the people
of Porto Rico, were adopted. The sup
port of the federation was pledged to
the citizens in their attempt to have
bill introduced at the next session OF
Congress guaranteeing them full con-

that will be the longest dam in the
world and that will generate 900 cleo

by Chester Clark in the annual report
of the Smithsonian Institution just is
sued. Although it is generally known
that the Mississippi is being damned, it
is not understood that the work is one of
the greatest pieces of engineering ever
attempted in this country
Danlming the Mississippi.
The dam is being put I'm between Keo-
kuk, Iowa, and Hamilton, H. II is seven
eighths of mile long and made of
masonry and concrete laid on the lime
stone bed of the river.
The dam will change the topography Of
the country up the river. making a lake
from three to five miles wide and forty
miles long The dam itself will be forty
feet high and will run battery of thirty
turbines. The electric power will be
distributed by line 1:p6 miles long and
the possession of this abundance of COM
paratively cheap power is likely to have
an important industrial effect on that
section of the Mississippi valley. Owing
to the fact that there are rapids in the
river at this point. the dam will improve
navigation, as there will be big lock
over 400 feet long that will lift vessels
to the level of the lake above the dam.

Recommended by Roosevelt.

The convention pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his several annual mes
sages to Congress and in special mes
sages after his visit to Porto Rico
strongly recommended the granting of
citizenship to Porto Rico. Gov. George
r. Cotton of Porto Rico emphatically rec
ognized the right of Porto Rcans to full
citizenship, and wrote to the federation
October 30, 1911:
II believe that the granting Of full
citizenship Of the United States to the
people of this island is the paramount
political consideration now pending in
their behalf; that 1t would have a far
reaching beneficial effect upon their lives
and activities; contribute more than any
thing else to their happiness and content
ment and thus promote the progress and
prosperity of their native land. which has
become, through the interests Of all af-
fected. an inseparable part Of the United
States
It Is the intention Of the Porto Rican
commission of labor to urge upon Presi-
dent Gompers of the national organiza-
ton the utmost Importance to the island
ers Of a bill granting them full rights
under the Constitution. During their stay
in Washington the members of the COM
mission will personally appeal to Presi-
dent Taft that he include in his message
to Congress bill providing citizenship to
the Porto Ricans, and interviews will be
had with officials of the State Department
toward this end.
In setting forth their case Mr.. Iglesias
said:
IT make particular reference to the con-
slant failure of Congress during the last
few years in regard to framing a law as
to the status of the people of Porto Rico.
This is a question that has awakened the
interest Of all persons and all the classes
of citizens in the island; and it Is now an
issue as to whether the people should

GREATLY INTERESTED IN THE.
AGITATION FOR BETTER ROADS
AND WANTS EACH TOWNSHIP

Il am glad to see The Forum take
such an interest in the good roads
movement said III. #. Forkert Of
Verona today. II have read with in
terest it's frequent editorials and other
articles on the subject. am both a
farmer and an auto owner and can APP
preciate the good roads question from
all viewpoints.
"The plan," he continued, adopted
by the supervisors of Barnes town
ship near Fargo, should be general.
Now is the time to agitate it and let
the voters think over the proposition
and take official action at the town
ship meetings in March. MY idea
would be to have a man and team
employed In each township from April
to Nov. /. 1t would be the best ex-
penditure the township could make.
Aside from enhancing the value of the
land 1t would cheaper the cost Of get
! ting produce to market and be a great
economy to the cost Of getting the
road builder with suitable machinery
and keep him busy.
ssLet especial attention be paid to
the bad spots. No road is better than
the poorest spots. Sometimes the
roads except for q few rods are such
that a team can haul 400 bushels of
wheat-but in one place they can't
pull more than sixty. This makes a
sixty bushel load all that cana be
hauled. Al little care would make it
possible to take the full load.
keep agitating the good roads
question. Every man. woman and
child in the state is directly and per-
sonally interested"
