Porto Rico cjtizsns

Philadelphia Press: Porto Rico has
made the increase of ne-sixth, I7.3
per cent Of population in the last de.
cade running from 953,243 in 1899 IL
Sl'lls,O12 at the present time. Most
or the West Indian islands make q
steady increase, decade by decade, and
some Of them, rs the Barbados, are
among the most densely populated
tracts known to man, but the crafty
ing fact in regard to Porto Rico IS
the large relative increase made In
its urban population. This rose from
ls8.7o3 in 1899 to 294,62O in 1910.
Such an increase marks an adv tuca
in wealth, an increase in capital and IN
the activity Of trade. The island has
made a great advance in the last ten
years, since the United States has
offered it the benefits of a CONT
mental market. than it had made In haIf
a century before under Spanish rule,
whose evils, neglect and corruption it
would be difficult to state.
But the Porto Ricans have a Just
grievance over the failure Of congress
to pass an act admitting them TO full
citizenship Of the United States. Such
a measure is before the house and
senate n should be passed.

that such procedure is simply putting
a premium on armed opposition to
the government, More than that the
class of disturbers, who on slight pre-
text resort to arms to enforce their
demands. do not appreciate a spirit
Of fairness that would compromise
differences. To them such oyertures
simply express weakness on the part
OF the government.
II is not merely u own, but a very
generally expressed opinion, that it Is
time for the government to quit par
leying with mutineers. Sedition must
be punished with the full vigor Of the
law. 1t is time to stop offering re-
wards or pardon for treason.
