No doubt we shall successfully enough
bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian ISL

our duty toward the Philippines Is
more difficult and debatable matter
We can satisfy the obligations OF

Porto Rico by giving them the ample

corded our own citizens In our own
territory and our obligations towaro

We must hold steadily in view their
ultimate independence, and we must
move toward the time of that inde-
pendence as steadily as the way can
be cleared and the foundations thor
oughly and permanently laid.

William H. Graft, Toledo, Ohio,
helpless in every limb with the excep-
ton of a good and worthy left arm,
arrived on Bridgeport yesterday. His

of his own push-wagon.
Graft has journeyed throughout the
whole United States for the past five

which will enable him to take the ia
nous baths at Baden-Baden, Germany
to free his limbs of the raVages of
paraIytic rheumatism to which he has
been a victim for the past % years.
In all that time Graft has journeyed
over $4,000 miles with his own good
hand and push1n obile the only motive

GOV. SULZER SIGNS
FULL CREW BILL

Albany, April Gov. Sulzer has
signed the Jackson full crew bill,
asked for by various railroad organ
izations.
His attention has been called to a
staten ent contained in letter sent
out before election last November to
officials and members of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen by John
Fitzgibbons, legislative representative
of the organization, who said that the
Democratic candidate had given him
and other railroad men a promise that
he would sign the bill if elected.
rs it true 7'' the Governor was ask
ed, that you had a conference with
Mr.. F'itzgibbons before election and
promised to sign that bill if the Leg
is1ature passed it, and also said that
you would come out openly for it were
it not for the fact that if you did the
railroads would spend a barrel of
money to defeat you?"
THAT story is absolutely untrue
Gov. SuIzer replied. 81 was approach
ed by a number. of delegations asking
me to sign the bill, but I never COM
n1ited myself, and not a soul besides
myself knew that I would approve
the bill. My reasons for approving it
are contained in the memorandum
that made public yesterday

FLOWERS OF DECORATION
 "Learn One Thing Every Day.. No. ?. THE LILY
Copyright 013 by The Associated Newspaper School Inc

With the coming of Christianity the white lily, looked upon as native to the Holy Land, was dedicated to the Virgin Mary as emblematic of her purity. Thence comes the name Annunclatlon Lily.
 In the catacombs of Rome we find the lily portrayed on the tombs of Christian maidens. And it is used constantly ln the religious paintings of the Middle Ages to typify purity, love, and mercy. The final judgment scene IS given with the Judge holding in one hand the sword of wrath and in the other but single white lily. The religious significance of the flower travelled far; for even in dis tant Persia the tall white lily is called to this day "Goole Miriam" or "Flower of Mary"
 The almost universal importance and significance of the lily made it a favorite emblem among the different fraternal orders of medieval society. It was therefore quite natural and i'll keeping that Louis TX. of France, in instituting a new and favorite order of knighthood, should decree that it's members wear a chain of broom flowers entwined with white lilies, thereby signifying hurnil;..;S; and purity.
 Eventually, however, the powerful House of Bourbon took the lily as it's own peculiar flower of heraldry and others had to forego it's use.
 The lily is the native flower of Siam. It's cultivation is the one industry Of Bermuda. It likes peaty soil and plenty of leaf mold. As lilies are easy to grow, thankful for attention, beautiful in their Towering, and of infnite variety. they will always be second only to the rose in the hearts of lovers of flowers.

tion. They pooh pooh it and pass it along as one of the many flake" pieces of legislation which spring up during each session of Congress. If it comes to a shown down, naval officers de- clare that they will resign from the Navy before they will peddle American merchandise to various ports of the world. No officer. they declare ever entered the Navy under the impression that Uncle Sam would turn them into the nations salesmen. They do not mind protecting the commercial inter- ests of the United States by shells and fire, if it is necessary, but they do not care to engage in commercial battles where business rivalry, or friend ship and fellowship are the only wea- pons used in the encounter. They have put their foot down on the Goodwin proposition, absolutely and unani- mously
 But they have not the slightest idea that even William Jennings Bryan would put the American fleet in dry dock and suspend all navy officers ev- en if he had the power. They believe that the American Navy is an institu- tion that has got to stay, if the United States intends to remain world pow CT or if it decides to keep it's insular possessions and maintain it's policy in South America
 Notwithstanding Goodwin's proposi- tion, Representative O'Shaunessy of Rhode Island, keeps hammering away at his fellow congressman for a larger and more efficent naval force. Just the other day, he introduced a bill in the House of Representatives asking for an appropriation for the construc- tion of twenty vessels to be used by the Navy as transports, colliers, etc. This proposition is something that navy heads have been trying to get through for a long time. Upon it.. they say, rests the efficiency of the naval branch of the military forces of the country.
