CITY q few davs afterwards The cOuntryman OF Kos

the instrument right and left all about him, until one
of the blows fell the OF one OF the Dystandes
At the police station the following brief dialogue took
place between the cop at the desk and the Immigrant:
means OF an interpreter
"What's the matter, craZy? inquired the former, by
''Why crazy?", the retort i'll surprise isn't Anne
Iica the ldad of the free?
.And the home of the brave yes explained the Off
cer "but YOU must understand that your liberty ends
where the Of your neighb0r starts"
1t is not only in America reader, where that is SINE
oua non condition of liberty anywhere else liberty
will be always limited by the right OF our fellowbengs
OF course, in Porto Rico always showing that
don't know very well how to live up to that condl
ton Did you ever go to any political meeting here!
Have YOU ever heard the speeches made at the Legisa
ture. during its stormy sessions? Now, please, don't
start by telling that the same thing happens every
where else for that isn't So and even If it we're So we
are not living anywhere else but i'll Porto Rlco, where
two wrongs never made right No. there is no pos
sbe justification for the language and the method OF
propaganda adopted by the greatest majority OF our
orators in this poor country OF ours.
Day before yesterday Senator glesas III reply TO the
charge made bv his colleague Mr. Barce0 that the so
cais agitators vile and seditlous language while
harenguing the people from the stump said that they,
the socialists had learned that way Of speaking from
the orators of the other two political parties that
the Of the field before the socialists appeared on
the political ARENA and whether that is true or not we
leave it for you to decide. :
In opinion time should be lost Dy our thinking
direction for we falling lOw the ways of express
elements in starting campaign for improvement III that
ing political ideas are degeneratng to such an eX
tent that person will care to speak III public
except hy doing it in the most abomnabe fashion, and
with the corresponding serious consequences TO our p
Ic morals. We don't why it should be Impossible
for the directors of the several political partles the
Unionis the Republican and the Socialist to enter into
formal agreement not to tolerate improper language
by any of their orators when speaking in public either
tLa in he II anywhere
is no trie really going to have serious trouble
hereafter unless political leaders and best social
elements get together and devise remedy to the disease
before it is too late
Our proposal to deal with Igesias as with any other
gentleman will perhaps meet with contempt by some
of the leaders of the other parties and fears in this
connection based on the sentiments expressed more
than once i'll the Senate by like Gorgeti and Bar
cello.
But let these gentlemen to the realization of the
actual facts and with tolerant mood do patrI0tcaly
their very best towards against situation
in which certainly they would be among the tn suf
fer the most.
No matter what their personal opinion may be, it is
an actual fact that Santiago Igesias is right here, in
Porto Rico that he has great influence with good por
ton of our social elements; consequently it would
be simply foolish to pretend to ignore him. But further
more, the is simply accident = as SO well eX
pressed by Senator IlzOl the other dy-and what we
must consider is not at all the but the ideas he re-
presents Mistaken not, wrong or right, they are
here i'll Porto Rico, they to have come TO STAY
and no matter who likes them not, these IDEAS the
social ideas, must be duly taken into considerations
They not brought at all to the country by Santiago
Igesias for they here dormant because social
medium is propitous to them Iglesas has only been
the instrument to stir them up, and it is not his fault
if the country lacked of vision to notice them be-
fore he came of vision to be lacking yet to
the serious situation being created in Porto Rco
due to it's economic crisis.
Leaders, let the country see what can be done keep
the mouths of the public speakers cleaned of sdpos
lebrds!
