dependence of The Associated Press
Whether Porto Ricans are to be sue
tessful this year in getting the United
States congress to admit them to
american citizenship is the question
Epperm0st in the minds of most Porto
Hcans at present. Although citizen
snip has been promised since the days
o. the Spanish-American war and
American occupation, Il years ago,
each congress since that time has
lailed to pass the necessary laws. The
Islanders are now hopeful that the
hfSt democratic administration since
1873 will act faVOTably and give them
definite political status. At present
Forto Ricans are merely citizens of
Porto Rico"

Foraker act, which went into force in
1901 establishing civil government and
which has been in force ever since,
have already been introduced in con-
gress by Chairman Jones Of the house
committee on insular affairs, and by
Senator Willard Salisbury of Della
ware.
The new organic act should grant
TO the people Of Porto Rico collective
citizenship in the United States said
Governor Wager before sailing. Il
know Of no simple gift that would go
so far toward removing dissatisfaction
and difficulty in Porto Rico as this SIM
pie grant OF citizenship, and none that
would be attended with so little cost
and risk.
Ash Ii as Privilege.
People speak Of citizenship as a
privilege TO my mind it is not a
privilege at all, but a right. II is the
necessary complement of sovereignty
and should go with the flag. The peo-
pie of Porto Rico must obey all the
laws of the United States, pay taxes
are liable to military service, and yet
they are not citizens.
citizenship does not at all imply
suffrage or the power to vote for any
officer of the government or anything
else. In the United States there are
now more more citizens who have not
the privilege Of suffrage than those
who have. The people of the District
of Columbia never have had the priv
ilege to vote for anybody or anything
and vet they are citizens. Most OF the
negroes of the south, the minors OF
both sexes. and as yet an immense ma
jority of the women of the country are
not permitted TO vote and yet no enc
would think Of excluding these classes
from the rights OF citizenship
/ The chief feature of the bills to bt
considered by congress, it is expected
here. will provide both for blanke
citizenship and a greater degree O
home rule The most important home
.ple feature is the provision for al
elective senate of 10 members. Thu
present lower house of the Legislature
/ is already elected, while the presen
upper house or senate is composed 0
eleven members. all OF whom are ap
pointed by the president'of the Unitet
j States, and six of whom are heads 0

knowledge concerning the nature Of
disease can thus be obtained. If back
ache, scalding urine or frequent urina-
tion bother or distress you, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-

kidney or bladder trouble Just write
Dr. Pierce at his Surgical Institute,

Pierce's chemist has examined the

years of experimentation has discov-
cred a new remedy, "Anuric,' which is
found to be 81 times more powerful
than lithia in removing uric acid from

Presidents Tone Encouraging.

Presidents Tone Encouraging.
Those most interested in the pass
age of a new organic act for Porto
Rico have been much encouraged by
the presidents recent message to con-
gress in which he recommended new
legislation for both Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
At the same time Porto Ricans point
out that reference to legislation for
them is so closely associated with that
urged for the Philippines that they
fear the two may become confused and
that in the fight which they expect will
develop over defining a policy for
Philippines independence Porto Rico
may again be disappointed.
Here in the island it is said that all
difficulties which heretofore have de-
yeloped over legislation by congress in
behalf OF Porto Rico have been cleared
away. The most important single step
which has been taken recently was
the adoption of new platform by the
unionist party, the majority party in
the island, renouncing its independ-
ence platform and combining itself to a
policy of home rule. Almost invaria-
bly, in the past when legislation for the
island has been under consideration at
Washington and congress seemed
about ready to grant American citizen
ship to the people of the island, loud
protests were forwarded to Washing
ton setting forth objections to any leg
islation that did not provide for the
ultimate independence of the island. II
is admitted here that these protests
have to a very large measure caused
congress to delay any definite action

was that, admitting it had given Won

money, it had no knowledge of any
wrongful use of such funds and be-
lieved they were used for legitimate
expenses of Won Papen.

A SPRING RENEWAL.
How TO Utilize a castcff Feather Bed
by Making Pillows Of It.

A few women are fortunate in hav-
ing inherited a number of old bed pill
lows and holsters, and there is nothing
like old fashioned feathers for dividing
up into filing for sofa pillows while
they last. These feathers can always
be put together again for bed use if
needed, and meanwhile they might just
as we'll be used Tor sofa pillows as to
be laid away in the storeroom.
However, not every one is so fortu-
nate as to have accumulated the feath-
cred bed coverings Of her ancestors,
and then it is found that to buy new
feathers is expensive. The cheaper Pill
lows bought ready made are filled with
cotton or with soft clippings from lin
en- and cotton rags, and a good home
made filing for pillow may be made
by cutting roll OF cotton into small
squares and heating them in a pan in
the oven for h1lf All hour. taking care
not to let the cotton scorch. Every
square will. according to best author
lily, swell to twice its original size and
become rs light and fluffy for filing as
feathers.

How to Keep Your Garden Labels
From Rotting and Fading.
Gardeners frequently have trouble
with plant labels rotting. The labels
when used In tile garden are subject to
wet and heat during the season, caus-
ing the portion that is IN the ground to
rot the label falls over and is lost, and
the gardener loses the name of the
plants. \ good way to preserve wood
en- garden labels is to soak them in a
solution of sulphatc of iron. Dry the
labels and then soak them in a strong
solution Of limewater. This results in
the formation Of insoluble sulphate Of
lime in the wood and preserves the la
bells from rottlng.
