JUSTICE TO PORTO RICO.

enactment that would confer upon the Porto Rcan peo
pie the rights of citizenship and insure to them reason
able share of the benefits in government accring to all
others under the Stars and Stripes The governor of
Porto Rico Arthur Yager, says with reference to the
Jones measure:
"For many years the changes in the government and
status of the people provided for in this bill have been
hoped for and anxiously awaited on the island"
There does not appear to be any objection to the BILL
at least nothing definite has been urged against its pas
sage. The sentiment of the nation far it has been
sounded is for it, Congress has been ready to pass it,
the point of passing it, in two three sessions.
The present House has passed it. The Sesate if it would
might easily pass in the time which that body frtters

him in the enforcement of the milk
law. The State Board of eHalth, the
State Dairy Bureau and the State
Veterinarian share the responsibility
for the enforcement of the law.
At any rate. the work so far has
shown that tuberculosis is much more
prevalent among the large dairies

must be tested twice every year, and
in order to assist dairymen in eraid-

it will be advisable to test some
herds oftener. Inspectors are in

THE COUNTRY PAPER
Ii Stands as Bulwark of Defense fol-
The People it Serves.

The value of a live, energetic news
paper to a town or city is absolutely
impossible to estinlate. There are so
many ways that the good newspaper
promotes the interest of the city and
the Individual citizen where it is pub
lished that it would be like trying to
number tn aids G; the SCI to emu
merate them. 1t is the true friend of
the city or town and every resident
thereof and stands ready to fight the
battles even of individual citizens ip a
way that no other agency has ei'Ecr
the nerve or courage to do. 1t stands
as great bulwark of defense for the
city and for the people
But this is only one feature.
There is another that is seldom =. w.
en- much thought, and that is, that the
newspapers Of any town or city are a
paying investment for such places as
industrial institutions. People well
come with open arms and loud acclaim
factory costing few thousand dol
lars and they think the town is Won
derfully fortunate in securing a plant
that will give employment to a num-
Der of people. Sometimes they even
put up a bonus to secure such plant.
There are many newspapers which
give employment to a number of peo-
pie and nothing is thought of it. The
money that comes to the paper is spent
in the town or city where it is pub
hshed. None Of it goes away except
for ink and paper and for some other
small supplies that cannot be bought
at home. The newspaper is essential
ly a home institution. 1t works day
and night to build up its home town
and state and spends its money freely
with home people. 1t is published on
strict business principles. these days
and that is the reason for the growth
and prosperity that has come to many
papers during he past few years.
As business enterprise, good
newspaper is about the best industry
that any town has, and its publishers
ask nothing but a square deal
Running a newspaper is very ex-
pensive business and many county pa

all this, all responsibility for war
rests on their shoulders, placed there
