PLEA FOR FREEDOM,
FOR PORTO RICANS
Was Made By ]. V. Dominguez Before
the Mohonk Lake, ~ Y, Confer
ence, and He Told of Other
Needs Of His People,

Mohonk, n. Y, Oct. 2l.--In address
ing the Lake Mohonk conference of
friends of the Indians and other de-
pendent people yesterday, Jorge " Dom
inguez, judge Of the Humacao district
court, Porto Rico, spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The five main grievances entertained
by the people of Porto Rico are: lst,
lack Of American citizenship; I'd, en-
eroachment Of tie executive upon the
legislative branch Of the government Sd,
lack Of an elective Senate; 4th, control
of the executive, or in other words. lack
OF self-government; and 9Th, indefinite
ness of the political status of the island
''We Porto Ricans want to be citi-
gems of the United States we want to
be like you, as you are, full-fedged citi
Kcns. Your flag can only wave over
free peoples and American citizens, and
we demand that this right be granted
forthwith, as a token of friendship and
Justice.
"Nou all know the feeling aroused in
this country by the newly started move
ment for the direct election of United
States senators. Even now your sen
Rtors are chosen by the indirect vote of
the people through their direct repre-
tentatiyes But none is appointed by
the president Of the republic nor by the
state governors. Why then will be re-
served to Porto Rico the unhappy lot
of being the victim of anti-constitution-
oil and anti-American measures Why
should our senators, that is to say the
members OF the so-called executive coun-
ill, not be chosen by the will of the
people? ! submit TO you that you would
feel more ready to sever the loving
knots that tie this group of powerful
states, or gayly attend a. new Boston
Tea party, at any rate, than relinquish
Into strange hands, no matter how re-
tpected, the sacred right of self-repre-
tentation.
"We want to be Americans. But free
Americans, selfgoyerned and elf-sup-
porting.
':Small as we are, the American oe-
fupation of our island marks an epoch
IN the political history of this side of
the world. Porto Rico is the advance
post of the United States in their peace
ful war for commercial and political pre-
fminence in America. If you treat Porto
Ftcu Ilghbluilg anu make OF US con-
tented, happy. American citizens and be-
stow upon us the fullest self govern
ment, you will eventually become the
hightiest among the mighty nations of
The world. The prejudices entertained
by other American nations will be ban
lshed and the justice done to Porto
Rico will be returned to you in the
appreciation, the confidence and love of
The rest of the new world"
Judge Dominique urged the passage
pf the following resolution:
"'To declare that self-government be
forthwith granted to the people Of Porto
Rico and that collective citizenship be
Immediately bestowed upon them'

CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS
NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZED
a Cold Settled In Kidneys,
Causing Serious Trouble.
Pe-ru-na Restores Eealth.

CATARRH of the kidneys is very
much neglected disease.
1t is not until the disease has a firm
hold upon the kidneys that the patient
begins to realize that there is some de-
rangement of these organs.
The slight backaches, the feelings of
lassitude, and other warning symptoms
Of kidney disease are overlooked.
They are not serious enough to detain
the patient from his regular work.
Even when he discovers that the kid
neys are affected, he does not recognize
the difficulty as being caused by catarrh.
catarrh is sometimes so very gradual
in It's approach and its earlier symptoms
cause such slight discomfort that it is
not noticed.
However, when ii is once firmly seated
in the Kidneys, it becomes a difficult dis
ease to exterminate.
Indeed, catarrh OF the kidneys is more
serious than catarrh affecting some OF
the other organs Of the body.
In the kidneys it is liable to terminate
in Brights disease or diabetes. both OF
which are recognized as very serious all
ments, If not fatal
The thing to be done, when cold or
catarrh Of the kidneys is discovered, is to
take some internal, systemic catarfh
remedy, one that relieves the catarrhal
disturbances and thus removes the cause
Of the difficulty.
Such remedy has been found in Peru
