All dark persons are not Africans, and
by the same token all light persons are
not Caucasians. Four hundred years
of time in which the currents and
cross currents of humanity have ebbed
and flowed across the island has nat
urally produced much mixed race,
in which the Spanish and Indian pre-
dominate. In the interior the bulk of
the people are of pure Spanish descent.
Near the coast and in the larger cities
there are great number of negroes.
To the casual observer there seems
to be no color line, but in social life
there is but little mingling.
There are many pure Spanish, and
the merchants and many of the larger
planters belong to this class. They
are keen business men and to their
thrift and foresight much of the sue
cess of the island may be attributed.
The Porto Rican of the poorer class
is not overburdened with energy To-
morrow will do as well as today. He
is satisfied with existence, and takes
the ups and downs of life-mostly
downs-with a calm philosophy. He
will work if necessary, but he prefers
not to. He is the thorn in the side of
the planter, who must depend on him
to harvest the crop. Labor problems
produce more gray hairs than any
other cause.
A Question of Temperament
They will never understand the Am
erican with his push and sweat and
worry, nor will the American ever
understand the Porto Rican with his
lassitude, ineptitude and procrastina-
ton. The Porto Rican has watched
the American invasion. He has stood
still while sixty per cent of the wealth
of the island has been absorbed by
Americans. He has watched values
go up and up and up, and still he
dreams on. He has seen land go from

While nominally in control Of Por-

way to the Danish West Indies, or
Virgin Islands as they are now called,
the United States has deferred grant
ing citizenship to the Porto Ricans un-
til this year. Therefore with the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies, and
the grant Of citizenship to Porto Rico
we have gained in the ncighborhood
Of million and half citizens at
the same time.
Porto Rico is so densely populated
that we feel safe in saying that we
have gained more citizens to the
square mile than in any other part of
the country. And what are these cit

that they are Porto Ricanians, that is,
IL you can talk Spanish. Look at them
and you will guess them all the way
from Brown Leghorns up to White

colors from light to dark with all the
intervening shades But when you get
down to cases you will find as many
degrees of caste as there are shades.
