familiar only to those who have paid attention
to similar battles elsewhere The representa-
tive of the department of commerce and labor,
in charge of the work in the island, makes an
interesting report of operations. He says:
In the city of San Juan the houses have
either been raised two feet from the ground,
or the foundations protected by a concrete wall

Mr. Taft evidently enjoys TO the full the
privilege of remaining bul-headed Doubtless
he realizes that stubbornness now win not hurt
him more than he has already been hurt, and
he therefore INDUCES himself. The veto Of the

serve the principle OF protection is, at this
time. like a red flag to bull to people tired

high cost of living has been constructed. Along
