Sc podria alegar que Ell Congreso
dejo a la Asamblea Legislative de
Puerto Rico Ell poder para negar Ell su-
frag:o la mujer, delegando de esta
manera su poder original. Pero debe
recordarse que en- Ell aho 1917, cuando
SO discutio y aprob6 la referida Ley
Jones, todavia no Sc habia afladido
la Constitution federal la Enmienda
Decimo-Novena, que expresamente
prohibe restringir Ell sufragio los ciu-
dadanos por ra26n de sexo. Dicha en-
mienda decimo-novena fue proclama
da como parte de la Constitution ell
dla 26 del mes de agosto de 1920, y di-
CO asi:
'El derecho de los ciudadanos de
los Estados Unidos a votar no ser&
negado nj restringido por los Esta-
dos Unidos nj por ninguno de los
Estados por raz6n de sexo. Ell Con-
greso tendra poder para poner en- vi
gor este articulo mediante legisla-
ci6n adecuada %

g6 la Asamblea Legislative de Puer-
to Rico Ell poder para imponcr restric-

did la Legislature de Puerto Rico,
IPSO FACTO, al proclamarse la refe-
rida enmienda d6cimo-r5vena
Es cierto, como he declarado ante
riormente, que ell Congreso, cuando le-
gisla drectamente para Puerto Rico,
como uno de los territories cedidos me-
diante Ell Tratado de Paris, tiene po-
der para aprobar cualquier disposition,
aunque esa disposition este en- condic-
to alberto con la Constitution federal.
Pero Ia Asamblea Legislative de Puer-
to Rico, 81 hubiera tenido ese poder ex-
presamente delegado por Ell Congreso,
en- relaci6n con ell sufragio femenino,
perdi6 ese poder desde ell dia 26 del
mes dc agosto del aio 1920.

cha 10 deleg6 a la Asamblea Legisla

de la Asamblea Legislative de Puerto
Rico, (aunque, como die anteriormen-
tie, Sc 10 hubiera conferido por Ell Con.

fragio femenino), qued6 perdido por
Ia Asamblea Legislative de Puerto Ri
co desde ell instante que Sc incluyo CO.

enmienda que expresamente declara
que en- Estados Unidos no Sc podra

tegido por el Tratado de Paris, no 10

ferido en- dicha Acta Organica Ell po-

electores en- Puerto Rico, ademas del
requisite de la ciudadania de Estados

Pero ese poder asi confer.do a la Le-

legislature territorial, tampoco no puc-

ha sido resuelto asi por el Tribunal

va hcmos visto como un precepto de
la Constitution federal esta en- conaic-
to con una restriction del sufragio a
un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos
por razon de sexo.
Ahora leamos 10 siguiente para yer
como un estatuto de los Estados Uni

bien dice expresamente que ninguna le-
gislatura territorial puede establecer

En- conclusion, podemos decir, que

HABLA Ell MANAGER DEL
TEAM PONCE, PIPo MALDoNADo

FL resultado de los juegos celebra-
dos ell domingo en- la simpatica Villa
del Captain Correa ha sido comentado
desfavorablenente para ell buen nom
hre y la reputation de los leones del
Ponce. Nosotros asistimos a este de-
Fafio y dimos nuestra opinion sobre
el. Un juego sensational, estupendo,
jugadas maravillosas, cogidas profe-
sionales por ambos teams un juego
que janas volvera a repetir ell Are
cibo, ESQ Sc redujo aquella lucha.
En- honor La verdad tenemos que
hacer por segunda vez estas declara-
clones. Ell team Ponce siempre Sc ha
discutible, por su empefio en- dar glo-
ria a su pueblo; nosotros no tratamos
de defenderlo, solo hacemos justicia
y los leones.
Un pitcher que solo permite cuatro
hits, que logra mantener a los Iobos
sin escalar la segunda base hasta ell
octave inning, que "poncha'' "cator-
ce bateadores'' que solo lie anotan
una carrera imposiblemente evitada,
me parece mi, aunque pueda ser 10
contrario, que no llevaba 6rdenes de
Fenroscar''
Vean los fans como l1izo ell Arecibo
la carrera.
Octave inning: Un out de una pa1o-
mita muerta. Martin fly muerto por
Ell right field pero como ell Zinc esta
cerca, logra coger dos bases segan las
reg1as establecidas. Shoemaker conec-
ia una endiablada lfnea un dispa-
ro ''PERFECTO" de Beitfa Hoyos
hace retroceder Martin que habia
tratado de escaiar Ell hogar. Dos en-
base un solo out; Cristino, Ell idolo
arecibeiio paleo una dificilisima rolata
que hizo suya magistralnente Milhto
v siendole impossible sacar de out a
Martin, lanz6 a primera hacienda los
Lobos la tinica carrera de la tarde.
Una cogida de Quiro, una del right

which has been felt in official circk
for some time. Although the bridge -
not regarded rs unsafe necessarily az
the present time. it is nearing that con-
dition. The structure was built much too
light for the heavy traffic over high
way No. l2 since completion OF the paw
ing. and although the structure has not
been built for very many years, rust and
deterioration have been rapid. The fact
that thc highway is now under state
maintenance. and that the state Is re-
sponsible for upkeep Of the highway
made it possible for the county to Sc
cure favorable agreement for the
construction Of a new bridge.
The county last Saturday paid to the
+. w. McElwrath Company $4,000 as
the final amourS due that company for
paving work on highway No. l2. The
county was left a balance Of about ST.
900 in the road and bridge construction
fund. About $4,000 10 still due from the
stat and federal highway aid on high
way No. IL. which. with the $780, 900
bond issue will make approximately
sl3s.OO0 available for construction work.
Cost Of three miles and u thousand
feet of paving on the road north Of Har-
lingen will BE- about $4,000, and for the
bridge near La Feria. $25.O00. which will
leavs money in the road and bridge con-
struction fund, altar the county has
r. ia its part on the Harlingen bridge.
Work has already begun on the La Feria
