SOMETHING DOING IN P, R.
buffalo Courier

The annexation of Porto Rico twenty
years ago was a bit Of bold ''1mperialis-
tic'' policy hat haf never been Satisfac-
torily explained. Why did the AM =
can commissioners at Paris insist up~l
taking P0rto Rico outright while giving
Cuba a freedom with only a string tied to
it? No matter now; results have ap-
parently Justified what was done, al
though Uncle Sam is told by pro-Germans
and ~pro-JaIaneSe that he Is an Imperial
list, +" and they point to Porto Rico to prove
it.
Governor Arthur wager of Porto Rico
maintains nat, all in oil, the two decades
# progress made by Porto Rico under
the American flag constitute a record
%unequaled by any people anywhere
in the worId in the same length of
time. And in support Of his statement
the governor has given to the Associated
Press a massive and impressive state
ment of facts.
Porto Rico shad an exhibit at the Pan
American exposition in Buffalo in 1901.
Her commits sioners celebrated here Pres
ident McKinley's proclamation If free
trade between the island and the United
States. The foreign trade of he island
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1901,
was only SITS O2, 1913 compared to Sal,
1876, 400 for fiscal year June 80, 1919!
This growth is a good illustration of
whist has occurred in nearly all branches
of Porto Rican activity, such as agricul-
ture, public works, public utilities, health
service, pubic schools and so on.
The number of children in the public
schools has increased from q, 900 to 100,
900; teachers from 525 to 1884; school
expenditures from $288, 600 to So, 500, 900.

Porto Ricans themselves are doing
nearly all the work of whatever nature.
In the government service there are
1858 positions, all but 208 of which
are held by natives, and of the 2O8 there
are 148 teachers, chiefly of technical sub
jects. Governor wager says that, as a
general policy, just as fast as Porto Ri
co could be trs ined for self-government
their government has been handed over
to them. ibid.

SHAD SHUN POLLU TION.
Official Report Indicates Cause for
Threatened Annihilation.

Delanco, N. j., Sept. 9.-Proof that
factory waste and other pollutions are
the chief cause of the failure of the shad
fishing industry in the Delaware valley
is to be found, men of the fishing colony
here claim in statistics on the recent
season, just made public by Protector
James M. Stratton, of the State Fish
and Game Commission. These indicate
that while the shad fishing in the Della
ware was the poorest on record, opera
tions of net fishermen in Rancocas Creek
here and the Maurice River, both un-
polluted streams, showed marked i'm
provement.
The fishermen contend that this shows
the shad are partial to pure water when
they seek spawning grounds on their an :
nual migrations The State has managed
to keep the Maurice River clear OF pol
luton because of the oyster industry
Few shad, it is shown, we're caught in
the Delaware above its junction with teh
Rancocas, and their theory is that those
fish which braved the polluted water
this far turned into the clear stream of
the Rancocas instead of continuing up
the river.
The report of the survey made by Pro-
tector Stratton gives the total number
of fish caught in the seven counties of
New Jersey where shad fishermen still
operate as only 3,724, where, few
years ago, the catch was numbered by
the hundreds of thousands.

GOMPERS FOR cox
AND THE LEAGUE
Labor lie ader Addresses Large
Crowd at Columbus; Says
World Wants Peace.

Columbus, Sept. 9.--The joint causes
of Governor Cox and the League Of
Nations was pleaded Monday by Samue
Gompers, President of the American
Federation of Labor, when he spoke to
5000 persons at the Labor Day celebra-
ton here.
He recalled the day as the anniversary
of the birth of Lafayette and the Battle
of the Marne, two events of great i'm
portance for human liberty. Congratu-
lating women upon the attainment Of
equal suffrage, Gompers asked them to
use their votes intelligently for progress
against reaction. There was danger Of
the success of reactionary forces, he
said. He denounced Congress as body
of negation and said that its only con:
structive piece of legislation was the
Esch-C Cummings bill. Under it, he said,
men are liable to prison if they quit work.
Denying any intention to dictate to
the workers, Gompers asked them to
study the records of the candidates. He
praised Governor Cox for enactment o:
the Workmen's Compensation law, and
said that because of it the liability in
s,Irance companies were banded together
to de,eat him. OF Senator Harding he
said that he was "a nice, respectable
gentleman, Dut ne asked what great
piece of legislation bears his manner" He
added that Harding was inactive in
everything constructive and active in
anything reactionary."
'"This election" said Mr.. Gompers,
will decide whether the elements OF
evolution shall characterize the American
Republic or those of reaction, bringing
in its train we knew not what. Shall
we follow the pathway of Washington
jefferson, Lincoln and Wilson? We
want peace, industrial peace, interna.
tional peace. We want peace, not armed
to the teeth, but by the League of Nations

at such peace. II purposes TO reduc,
