A Porto Rican's Opinions.
He Commends Governor Reilly for
His Official Actions.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Wha,
is all this misunderstanding between
some Porto Ricans and the Governor
about? From past and recent comments
In the newspapers ! gather that the
Governor upon his arrival In Porto Rico
told the Porto Ricans in an address that
''if Porto Rico had !. ed and progressed
under the American nag for twenty
years he thought It well for the island
TO continue unc nc same flag" Thi,
OF course did not have q very good
effect with the few vino were preaching
independence and who. according to re-
ports In some newspapers. had even
gone to the extent OF designing o flaS
for the occasion.
The Governor also ordered that Eng
iish be taught In the schools as well as
Spanish. which to any thinking person.
Porto Rican or otherwise. would seem
very good thing.
Then he went on making a few ap-
pointments to fill some of tho most Inn
portant offices with men he thought would
render the best service.
I assume these will be enough griev-
ances to q few politicians who have
high political aspirations: but the ma
jority Of the inhabitants In the island.
am sure, will prefer the American flag.
will like to learn the English language,
as this Is for the betterment of every
one In the island, and undoubtedly will
also like to see tho most important
places filled with capable and competent
men. who viii work for every one and
not for a few, regardless of existing
political Affiliations
The opposition by a few to the Ameri-
can flag as well as to the teaching of
English in the schools seems to me to
be- mostly inspired by the Spanish ele-
ment In the island, which is still strong
but any one remembering and know
ing that at the end OF 400 years Of
Spanish dominion we had in the island
only one free public school. which ac-
counts for the large percentage of lift
crates when the Americans landed in
Porto Rico. against thousands Of schools
at present distributed throughout the
leland. will certainly prefer to continue
as at present, with the hope that some
day not very long hence the Presider;
and Congress Of the United States will
decide on granting TO the Porto Ricans
what they duly deserve and have en-
deavored to get. Statehood. thereby
making Of the island one Of the States
Of tho Union. G. r. RIVERA.

intelligent men are trying TO talk
world peace. Their utterances are
points of view. II M. BRIAND can
see the Germany of to-day only
through the dark glasses OF suspicion
and distrust, 80 much the worse for
both sides. Earnestness rang in the
thunder of the great French orators
voice: but Is thunder OF any
sort going TO help the Conference
for the Limitation of Armament
toward the ends for which 1t is as.
sembled?
Lord CUnzoN, criticising the BRAND
policy Of heavy armament and isola-
tion, Is as emphatic as M. BRIANn
himself. But Is Lord CuRzoy's speech
az conducive to the amity Of nations
at this juncture as was the epigram'
matte comment of Mr.. BALFoUR on
the French Premier's declaration?
We doubt it.
Until statesmen want peace, think
peace and talk peace-there Is no
peace! The Harding-Hughes policy
in the Washington conference was a
success which hearteped the whole
earth; and 1t was success because
the American President and his Sec
retary OF State were wanting, think
ing and talking peace.
And the conference will he sue
cess II it's members will bend to their
efforts with determination to have
peace even at the expense Of politics
and national sacrifices. The whole
world wants to see this meeting &C
complish something. It is called q
Conference for the Limitation OF
Armament. II ought also to be a
Conference for the Elimination OF
Jealousy and Political Ambition. For
the people Of this earth are becoming
more and more concerned about
themselves and their children They
are sick OF sixteen inch guns. They
want sixteen ounce loaves. They say
as GRANT said. Let US have peace!"

The Frozen Faun.

When Winter in the Catskills spread
A carpet smooth and white,
Deep In the woods CHANGED upon
A melancholy sight,
A waterfall that In It's leap
From rocky bastions bold
Was turned to marble by the fierco
Old wizard Of the cold.
The ancient spell of Ice was laid
Upon It's dancing flow
And Its immortal gladness chained
In crystal cells below.
Its music sealed. It's motion stilied.
It's beauty changed to stone
On which pale and frosty moon
In solemn eplendor shone.
An arm Of a;abaster cleaned
I thought II beckoned me,
And silver hoof and hairy haunch
Seemed struggling TO be free.
In that primeval solitude
Earth yet Is In its dawn,
And so--a captive on crag-~

"There Is No Death. !"
A Pastor Replies to Miss Vida Mi.
hollands Letter.

To THE New YORK HERALD: crave
the courtesy to answer the letter from
Miss Vida Milhoiland which you printed.
know that this lady sent this letter
with the best Of Intentions. but she has
sent to the very bounds Of your con-
etituency a false teaching which is
purely spiritualistic. and when she says
"There 10 no death II has absolutely no
basis In fact or even In Scripture texts
she rses to buttress her doctrine.
Any one reading the flfth chapter Of
Genesis will agree with the Apostle Paul
when he says death reigned from Adam
to Moses even though they had not
sinncd after the simIlitude OF Adams
transgression. And few with eyes to see
will be able to refute the fact that death
reigns still in precisely the same wav
as Il reigned then. We put the body INTO
the grave and II goes on corruptinc.

witness OF what He taught. He was
using a very concrete illustration when
He said that, as we all very well see.
The quotation she makes from DR.. Seiss's
Lectures on the Apocalypse" 40 not
illustrate her teaching at all. DR.. Seiss
was talking not of the present time but
Of the future ages after the resurrection
Of the Just.
Moreover, she claims that Jesus Christ
proved there was no such thing IN death
when He walked from The tomb liv-
Ing witness to the truth Of His teaching.
Does she mean TO say that Jesus Christ
did not die. or what does she want TO
teach? The truth Is "He died for us.
the Just for the unjust. that He might
bring us TO God" The fact is Jesus
Christ proved no such thing as this that
she says He proves. What He did prove
was that the power of God Is victorious
over the power Of death. which u very
different thing He II victor over death
and has become the guaranty Of victory

Wild Geese Flying Southward.

These are the days when migra-
tory birds are winging their way to
the south. The wedge shaped masses
Of large fowl whose not unmusical
cry may be heard from considerable
heights are geese. and the bird at
the apex of the triangle is always a
wary old gander that will pilot his
crew unerringly to some secure haven
for the winter.
Some Of the flights will be hun.
dreds of miles long, but there will
be stops for days on route In Sc
cluded spots from which forays will
be made upon the fields Of fall wheat.
While the wild turkey Is reckoned
the wariest of game birds the goose
is close second. During the stay in
the wheat fields sentinels are con-
stantly on guard ready to sound q
warming at the first sign of danger.
The fact that the favorite feeding
ground of tho wild goose is fire.
quently in the neighborhood Of pas
ture fields has made the sight OF
cattle familiar 20 the birds. Skilled
hunters have taken advantage Of
this, and some large bags have been
secured by men who have had the
patience to train an OK or q steer to
Craze in circles in the fields In which
tho birds are feeding. Crouching be-
hind HIS animated blind and keeping
the animal between himself and his
quarry the hunter guides the beast In
iessening circles till within gunshot.
Another method is to dig pit at the
edge of the wheat field and tether
near by live decoys-geese whose
wings have been broken on some
hunting trip are best, as the wild
bird will come to his own kind more
readily than to the domestic goose.
The wild geese have as decoys the ad-
ditional advantage of their call, which
they employ In telling fashion. A
large toll is often taken from passing
fiocks, which find too late that they
have been lured to destruction by one
of their own species.
Duck hunters In bad weather some
times secure excellent bags of geese
The big birds become confused in
snowstorms and fly about at ran
dom seeking sheltered spots. In
many instances they have landed In
the midst of civilized communities
when they have lost their bearings
Usually, however, when one hears the
peculiar call Of the wild goose In
flight and looks skyward there will
be seen group Of birds flying swiftly
in q triangle, the leader supreme in
the confidence of his leadership.
The establishment OF bird sanctu.
aries has increased the numbers Of
these splendid birds, and the migra-
tory bird act preventing spring shoot
ing helps still further in their per-
petuation. Much has already been
accomplished in the way Of conserva-
ton of game birds. which were fast
disappearing under the ruthless meth.
ods which prevailed for many years.

Gage & Tollner's Champion.
Young John Andrews Claims Long
Distance Oyster Opening Medal

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: was
interested In your editorial article on
"Old Bill Lowney's Boast" but I take
exception to Il.
This firm has been In business over
forty years and we have one Of those
old fashioned openers here too. But
his record Is not 100 in three and three
quarter minutes but $3.50 in nine hours
How's that?
Any one can do 100 in three and three
quarter minutes. but how about Il for
nine hours steady?
Our Old--don't let him hear it--John
Andrews was one Of the old timers In
the Fulton Market Of DAYS gone by. and
he says Bill Lowney isn't such a medal
winner as he claims What he wants
to see Is a real worker.
John Andrews just recently celebrated
his golden wedding, 80 you can realize
he knows. He has been with us over
forty years too. SETH B. DEWEY,
