April the Oath, 1914
To the Editor of the New York
Herald,
New York City.
Sir:
| read the especial despatch from At
lantic City to the Herald, With APP
pears in your issue of the 18th inst,
ard | quote from same the folloWine
remark made IN his speech by the illus
trious man who has the honor of presd-
ing the House Of Representatives of the
United States, the Hon. Champ Clark.
alluding to the question of American
citizenship for the Porto Rican people
Il hope to God that Filipinos and
Porto Ricans are never made American
Citizens They are not fit for that dis
tinction Yoy can't make a silk purse
out of a SOW S ear.
| do confess my total failure to find
out an explanation to Justify the reason
of such barbarous, profane and indi-
cent language as the above quoted, un-
less | attribute it to the fact that the
mind of Speaker Clark has been
beclouded by his recent defeat in
the House when he tried IN vain to up
set the right and patriotic stand of Pre-
sident Wilson ON the Panama Canal
toll question.
It is true as YOU say III your editorial
of the 10th inst. regarding Senator Bo-
rah Why is it always some Western
member of Congress who makes an ass
of himself and does positive injury by
his wild talking. This remark is OF
complete application to Speaker Champ
Clark in this matter. because there can
be no question that his nasty remark
above quoted has done positive injury
to the American sentiment in the Island
Of Puerto Rico
We the Porto Ricans. return the in
suit to Speaker Champ Clark, and say
to him as he said in his speech on the
toll question to Mr.. x X. on the flor OF
the House: SHO FLY DON'T BOD
del Us.

tendance in Its History.

Need Of repairs to the municipal bath
ing beach resulted in that institution tenn
porarily suspending activities today. I,

Attendance at the beach this season has
been the largest on record. The average
daily attendance has been 400. while
the largest number OF bathers given &C
cess to the pools on any one day was
200.
It Is more than likely that the Com
missioners' next estimates will include
provision for the enlargement Of the
