El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-01-28

The Military Bureau of Insular
Affairs vents to appear as a great
democrat discontinuing discont-
ent by recommending the appoint
ment of natives, Portorrican-ame-
ricans for higher positions of the
government of the Island. That
is good move to content a mino-
rity of privileged and petty aris-
tocracy i'll Porto Rico.
If democracy is going to prevail
then the President must set aside
all the sweet political adyices and
let the people of Porto Rico de-
termine the kind of democratic
and public servants they want by
choosing their own liking. They
cannot get them through the Bu-
rocratic Military Bureau of Was
hington, then it will be the proper
course for the President of the
United States to see that Congress
will grant the right to the people
of Porto Rico to peacefully elect
the servants from Governor down.
We know only one sure hope
and that is that some day demo-
eracy and justice win emerge
triumphant from the firm and
enormous might and force of the
American people.

him an important place III the
development Of our national life.
During his active years he was
essentially great evangelist

sturdier morality in Our civic af-
fairs, and he came to the Amer
ican people with that gospel at a
time when it was needed. knew
him well during the Spanish
American War and for several
years afterward, and, in common
with his legion of friends, | am
deeply shocked to learn of his
sudden death. Whatever Theodore
Roosevelt did or failed to do, his
staunch militant Amerieanism
could never be questioned.

sion On that convention and there
made his entry into the life Of the
nation. He later became and will
remain a national asset. He was a
physical and moral dynamo. He
repeatedly shock the whole nation
by his personality. One could
shout for him today and bitterly
disagree with him tomorrow-and
who of us has net done both but
there was no escaring him. He was
a great American citizen-fearless,
positive partisan. He was maste-
full President. He. was greatest
in his ability to shake the masses
of men out Of the natural lethargy
of a prosperous and undisciplined
democracy. Because so few men
have been able to do that, we have
lost leader of the sort that we
produce only once or twice in a
century.
DIR. JOHN F MOTT:
Colonel Roosevelt was primarily
a man reality. He practiced what
he preached; he lived what he
said, and he deal body blows at
hypocrisy. He was impatient with
sham. The Colonel was bold as a
lion, he abounded in vitality and
he was ever responsive to large

CHIEF MAGISTRATE WI
LLIAM MCADOO:
1t was my good fortune to have
had for many years more or less
intimate acquaintance with Colo
mel Roosevelt, beginning with the
time when he was United States
Civil Service Commissioner. | have
always held him in the highest
esteem as splendid type OF the
big-heared and big-minded men
who are so truly representative OF
American institutions and tradi-
ton. 1t was not necessary to agree
with him on every subject to und-
ertand that his words and conduct
were always, governed by desint7
crested patriotism and the highest
ideals He combined in his charac-
ter, and person the vir,ility and
forccfulness of the early pioneers
and the foresight, humanity, and
scholarship of the days in which
we live.
THEODORE E. BURTON;
For a century there have been
few men Of so striking person.
ality as ex-President Roosevelt,
His varied accomplishments and
TASTES, his .tireless energy, and his
courage would place have given
him a most prominent place Ii
the history of any age, but IN this
era Of progress he was sure to
come to the fore. His temper.
ament was such as to. arouse vlo'
lent opposition but in the hour
of death enmities will be forgot
ten, and We may be sure there will
be very few Americans who will
have more permanent fame or be
remembered with greater afection
than he.

least will content some of the poll
] ticians and Anti-Americans.. The
masses of the people are of no
much Importance.
What democracy means in Por-
to Rico is the kind of democracy
imposed by the Military Bureau
of Insular Affairs with General
Mcintyre as it's guide, who knows
how to play with our petty politi-
clans; the Shame of democracy
under which the Sugar, Tobacco
and big business aristocracy real
ly rules the Island-Httle worst
off than an aristocracy by birth,
the aristocracy of riches who is
secretly ruling Porto Rico.
The full rate of property taxa
tiOh in Porto Rico is much loss
than half the average rate levied
in the States of the Union while
the proportion of the whole which
we devote to educational purposes
is still less than one half of the
smaller amount raised in the Is
land.
The enormous wealth produced
by the agricultural and Industrial
workers of Porto Rico is gone over
the seas in the shape. of rents and
earnings, to be expended in other
more fortunate comunities. 1t is
estimated that 1919 of the earn
ings derived from the work of the
producers in the country periodi-
cally finds its way to foreign
countries while the island stays
behind as an open factory produc-
ing new earnings and accumulat-
ing new fortunes that are not to
benefit the island and still less
the hardworking peasants produc-
ing such riches.
In the banks of Porto Rico
almost the same money the gov
ernment borrowed at 40 is loan
ed to wealthy individuals at 9%
in eases where loans are for a
short period only. To People i'll
fair circumstances this money is
loaned at 1870 interest and at
1000 to the poor. So that when
the people takes out any of his
money at exhorbitants price, spe-
culators are so numerous that the
interest the Porto Rican producer
of wealth has to pay is just scan
dalOus.
Since Governor Wager admins
tration twenty-one poor workers,
men, women and boys were killed
by police in industrial disputes
and very considerable number OF
men and women were seriously
wounded. More than 800 men and
women were sent to Jail in order
to justify the acts of the police.
Children have lost their fathers.
The police officials and some ma
gistrates of Justice of Porto Rico
acted as if they were the servants
of the masters in expressing the
workers. Under the control OF
corporations, and the police all
! kinds of violences were legalized
to put down the demands of the
agricultural workers forcing them
back to work by means of terror
to please the sugar as well as the
/ tobacco interests.
The honest truth regarding Por-
to Rico is that President Wilson's
meaning of democracy and free
dom is not just the same as to
when his representatives try to
apply such democracy to the
people Of the Island, said demo-
eracy is something entirely diffe.
rent from the democracy about
which the American people vents
for the world.
