PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO
Governor Arthur Yager Says Island
ers Appreciate More Home Rule.

Arthur Yager, governor of Porto
Rico, arrived here recently aboard
the steamship Bra2os from San Juan,
on his way to Washington, where he
said he hoped to be able to induce
Congress to pass a new organic act
for the island
During the year I have been in
Porto Rico as governor said Mr.
wager, there has been a notable
progress in the political and indus
trial development of the island Pres
ident Wilson is exceedingly popular
In Porto Rico. The people are very
sentimental n-Americans tre-
mendously interested in some form
Of home rule for their island. They
confidently hope that the govern
ment will give II to them In some
safe and sane form.
Sensible Porto Ricans do not, as
a rule, desire complete independence
but they do desire and feel entitled
TO a larger participation in their
own local government than has here
tofore been given them. In this di-
rection the present administration Of
the island has made a start by an
pointing as new members of the
executive council two native Porto
Ricans, thus giving them for the
first time a majority of their own
people in the upper house of the
legislature These appointments
have been received by the people of
the island In the kindest way. and
they have produced an excellent po-
Htlcal effect'-New York Post.

4 GRIM JOKE AVOIDED

\ cablcpram from Chrlstiaula an
noIuoos that the Nobel peace prize
viii NOT poe awarded this year Thus
o grim joke has been luckily avoided.
for what ghasty commentary the
award of a peace prize would be
when all Europe and portions Of
Central America are dcluRed IN
blood The Nobel prize is for re-
warding the services Of the most
distinguished citizen In the whole
world who has contributed 10 the
peace Of the world Thus Mr.. Roosc-
Welt got It one year for bringing
about the peace OF Portsmouth. Del
casse, the great Foreign minister got
II another year for preventing war
I'm Morocco and cemcnting the re-
latons between France and Eng
land So It has gone for years
Had the award been made this
year It ought by all means 10 have
gone TO Emperor William because
he Is making vast solitude and
calls 1t peace. Emperor william
is the most distinguished vocal nd
vocate Of peace but like Buck"
Fanshawe he believes in fighting for
# on the theory that the only good
and pcaceable opponent Of Germany
IS dead man.
The committee OF award is to be
congratulated on It's evident realiza-
uon of the proprieties of occasions.
This is no year for the award Of
peace prizes This is n year for the
manufacture and giving away Of war
medals and for the sale Of arms and
ammunition il will be time to
talk further about the Nobel prize
when Europe is pacined.

that water is purified by freezing.
Then came the bacterlologists and
told us that this was mistake. Now
science is moving back 10 the old po-
slton. The journal Of the American
Medical Association tells US that when
ice crystals form, most Of the impuri-
ties are expelled into the body Of the
stream. If the pond freezes to the
bottom the germs are caught in II

from which 1t is made; but if open
water is maintained into which the
impurities can be forced, the ice will
be purified In freezing. Natural
Ice is safer than artificial ice in most
cases. OF course, any ice may be
polluted in storage or handling
fortunately ice is easily washed, and
washing readily takes off an the bad
effects OF its careless handling.

STORIES OF OLD LORD WEMYSS.
And, by the Way, Pronounce His
Name "Wcems."

1.-THE only thing to do at 90 after
30 and before 90" declared that fine
old English nobleman, Lord Wemyss
who recently died at the age OF 95,
is TO keep on fighting for what you
believe TO be right. That Is the main
thing. And remember that the world
Is ever In its infancy OF discovery and
invention. / began life with tallow
dips, and am to end 1t with electric
light" says the Youths Companion.
Lord Wemyss, perhaps better
known by his earlier title Of Lord Ell
cho-giver OF the "Elcho shield" for
craftsmanship, the trophy most ia
nous among riflemen-was himself
through all his long life a vigorous
fighter for the right, as he saw IT. He
lived under six British mouarchs. He
helped Sir Robert Peel reform the
corn laws and was long a useful and
energetic member Of parliament; but
Perhaps no Incident of his parliamen-
tary career is better remembered than
one more amusing than important
that occurred during a debate in the
house OF lords during the reign Of
Queen Victoria. The Prince Of Wales
later King Edward VII, was present
as an interested listener, and was
seated wearing his hat, according to
custom-immediate in front Of Lord
Wcmyss, when he rose 10 speak In
the course Of his argument the noble
lord, CARED away by the feryor of
oratory, brought down his fist with an
emphatic thump on top of the princes
silk hat, smashing it down about the
princely ears, TO the mingled dismay
and entertainment of his audience.
The prince disengaged himself from
the damaged topper" with good
natured laugh, but he took care TO
remove himself out of reach Of the
too earnest orator until the speech
was concluded.

New Hearing for Leo Frank.

Associate Justice Lamar Of the United states
supreme court has decided that Leo NJ. Frank
shall not be executed on January 90 nor until
the highest tribunal shall have a chance Of de-
termining whether he has been legally convicted
Of the crime with which he is charged.
The order granting the young a hear
ing before the court OF last resort surely will
be gratifying to everyone who loves justice and
equal rights Had Frank gone TO the gallows
without this hearing. millons-probably a ma
iority OF Americans--would always have
believed he was deprived OF his life without
his constitutional right Of due process OF law"
And the stain could never have been effaced
from the good name OF the state Of Georgia.
Frank convicted in an atmosphere seeth-
ing with prejudice and threats of mob violence
and was not even present when the verdict
came in. on this his claim OF denial of due
process OF law rests. Mr. Justice Holmes had
previously questioned the method OF his con-
viction and even the trial Judge expressed a
doubt Of his guilt. Mr.. Justice Lamar grants a
stay on the ground, chiefly. that the United
whether on trial for murder in a state court the
due process clause OF the federal constitution
guarantees the defendant a right to be present
when the verdict is rendered.
Whatever the outcome the hearing OF the
appeal will go down as a triumph for orderly
Justice and new proof that individual right
counts before the highest tribunal.
