Porto Ricans Wonder
Whether They Will Be
Made V. S. Citizens
SAN J tf AN Porto. Itico. Jan. 4.
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.) Whether Porto Ricans are to
be successful this year In getting the
United States Congress to admit them
to American citizenship is the qties
tion uppermost in the minds of most
Porto Ricans at present Although
citizenship has been promised since
the days of the Spanish-American Wfar
and American occupation seventeen
years ago each Congress since that
time has failed to pass the necessary
laws. The Islanders are now hopeful
that the first Democratic adminis-
tration since 1898 will act favorably
and give them a .definite political
status. At present Porto Ricans are
o merely "citizens of Porto Rico."
In the hope that favorable legisla
tion may be obtained. Governor Ar-
thur Yager will spend the month of
January in Washington urging Con-
gress to act Bills providing a new
Organic Act to take the place- of the
temporary Foraker Act which went
into force in 1901 establishing civil
government and which has been in
force ever since have already been
introduced in Congress by Chairman
Jones of the House Committee on In-
sular Affairs and by Senator Willard
Saulsbury. of Delaware.
t "The new Organic Act should 'grant
to the people of Porto Rico collective
citizenship in the United States'
said Governor Yagr before sailing.
"I know of no simple gift that wouW
go bo fM leaird removing dissatis-
faction an-' ditficulty in Porto Rfco

Eckman's AlferataVe to attend strict-

In addition to rest and proper diet
some effective remedial agent seems
to be needed and In numerous cases

so little cost and risk.
''People speak of citizenship as a
'privilege.' To my mind it is not a
privilege at all but a right. It is
the necessary complement of sover-
eignty and should go with the flag.
The people of Porto Rico must obey
alt the laws of the United States pay
taxes are liable to military services
and yet they are not citizens.
"Citizenship does not at all imply
suffrage or the power to vote for any-
officer of the government or anything
else. In the United States there are
now many more citizens who have
hot the privilege of the suffrage than
those who have. The people of the
District of Columbia never have had
the privilege to vote for anybody or
anything and "yet they are citizens.
Most of the negroes of-the .South the
minors of both sexes and as yet an
Immense majority of the women of
the country are not permlted to 'vote
and yet- no one wohld think of ex-
cluding these classes fro.m the rights
of citizenship."
The chief features of the bills to be
considered by Congress it Is expected
here 'will provide both for blanket
citizenship and a greater degree of
home rule. The most important home
rule feature is the provision for an
elective Senate of nineteen members.
The present lower house of the Leg-
islation .is already elected while the
present upper house or Senate is
composed of Cloven members all of
whom are appointed by the president
of the United States and six of whom
arc heads of executive departments
of the Irisular Government.
Those most interested in the pass
age of a new Organjc Act for Porto
Rico have "been much encouraged by
the President's recent message to
Congress in which he recommended.
nev legislation for both'' Porto Rfco
and the Philippines.
At the same time Porto Ricans
point out that reference to legislation
for them is so -closely associated wjth
thaj. urged for the PhilUpinco that
they fear the two may" become con-
fused and that in the fight which they
expect will develop over defining a
policy for PhilliiMnes independence
Porto Rico may again be. disappoint-
ed. Here in the icland . it is said that
alii difficulties .which heretofore have
developed over legislation by Congress-
in behalf of Porto R'co have been
cleared atvay.. The most important
single step which has been taken re-
cently was the adoption of a now plat-
form by the Unionist party the ma-
jority parly in the islnnd renouncing
its Independence platform and confin-
Ig itself to a policy of home rule.
Almost invariably in the past when
legislation for the Island- has been
under consideration at Washington
and Congress seemed about ready to
grant American citizenship to the
people of the Island long protests
were forwarded to Washington set
ting forth objections to any legisla
tion that did not provide for the ul-
timate independence of tho island. It
is admitted here that theso protests
have to a very largo measuro caus
ed-Congress to delay any definite ac
tion.
The question that is agitating the
minds of the Brownwoodltes is "Have

man. In a dark room we found a man
half paralyzed and Dr. ' Stephenson
told him to come to the hospital.
There were people with every imagin
able disease and as the doctor went
from one house to another followed
by dozens of 'pitiable natives hearing
their tales of hardship- and giving
them medicine it seemed a mission
such as Ohrist . performed. Bahles
drugged with opium swung in bas
kets from the ceiHngs while the un
sanitary surroundings of the place
seemed a veritable breeding place for
di?ease. There were two hundred pa
tients in two hours tfme and the
gratitude of the people was veryi
touching. When they learn to know

learn that the missionaries are their
friends it is much easier to

very anxious to destroy the opium
evil and to prevent Its planting. A
few years ago when we were stamping
out the poppy growing we received
a great deal of help from the church.
"Because the church peopJe have

So please have your preachers when
they see poppy growing first exhort
the farmer to" destroy his plants. And

Bulls Regard Texas and Oklahoma
Stock? as Nearly Exhausted.
NEW ORLEANS Jan. 3. A better
feeling concerning the spot situation
was considered the chief influence
for the advance in the local cotton
market lastVeek. The highest prices
were made on the weok-eud and the
market closed 22 to 30 points above
the previous week's close. January
tenders were larger . than expected
but were. so easily absorbed that bull-
ish sentiment was slimurated and ef-
fect was a larger demand for spots.
Spot :cfldcrs generally were re-
ported asking hosier prices propor-
tionately 'than could be obtained in
the future markets. It was estimated
that the tenders of the week amount-
ed to about 25000 bales and a large
part of them was absorbed by -Texas
spot interests.
Accounts of a large business among
both English and American cotton
mills was a steadying influence.
A gainst the market was' the contin-
ued small export movement and the
pilling up of stocks at all Important
points Tho trade generally looks for
important developments in the spot
situation the coming week. The hulls
look for the inquiry to laereaso and for
values to lift. They expect the short-
ness of the crop to be revealed in the
paucity of offerings "under the. demand
and point to the operations of Texas
spot houses as proof that the Texas
and Oklahoma crops already are be-
coming exhausted.
On the other bad the bears expect
any advance to bring forth an ava-
lanche of offerings from the interior.
