It is the complement of sovereignty should go with the flag. The of Porto Rico must obey all laws of the United States, p are liable to military <e‘r\|(‘(‘§ and yet they are mot citizens.

In the United States there are now many more citizens who haye not 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 vet an immense majority of the women of the county are not permitted to vote and vet no one would think of ex- cluding these classes from the rights of citizenship.” The chief features of be considered by congr it is ex- pected here, will provide both for blanket citizenship and a greater de- gree of home rule. The most impor- tant home rule feature is the provi- sion for an elective senate of nine- teen members. The present lower house of the legislation is already | elected, while the present upper house or senate is composed of eleven mem- bers, all of whom are appointed by the president of the United States, and are heads of executive of the Insular govern- or officer the bills to six of whom departments ment. Most Interested Passage. Those most interested in the pass- sage of a new organic act for Porto Rico have been much encouraged by the president’s recent message to con- in which he recommended new ation for hoth Porto Rico and | the Philippines. At the same point out that islation for them Ricans| the leg- asso- Porto to closely time reference is so | a new platform by | in | tion : objections to any ciated with that urged for the Philip- pines that they fear the two may be- come confused and that in the fight which they expect will develope over defiining a policy for Philippines independence Porto Rico may again be disappointed. Here in the island it is said that difficulties which heretofore have developed over legislation by con- gress in behalf of Porto Rico have been cleared away. The most im- portant single step which has been taken recently was the adoption of the Unionist party its inde- all the island, renouncing pendence platform and confiing it- self to a policy of home rule. Almost | iriably in the past when legisla- | for the island has been under consideration at Washington and con- | seemed about ready to grant an citizenship to the people of | and, long protests were for- to Washington setting forth legislation that did not provide for. the ultimate inde- pendence of the island. It is admit- ted here that these protests have to a very large measure caused Congress to delay any definite action. “All American.” (Troy Times.) A great deal that is of interest re- garding South America can be | learned from newspapers published in that part of the hemisphere. There are some very able and enterprising ‘journals in that portion of the world. Among them is The Buenos Aires | Herald, the office of which is at the capital of Argentina. A. A. Ladd sends The Troy Times a copy of The Buenos Aires Herald issued Novem- ber 25, 1915. It is a handsome sheet of twenty-eight pages, full of news and other live and entertaining mat- ter and with a display of advertising showing that it is a, valuable medium for reaching the public. | What especially attracts attention is | this announcement, under the head- ing “All American” and displayed con- spicuously: “This issue of The Her- ald is set on American linotypes, printed on American paper, with American ink, from American type, on an American printing press” After reading that statement there can be no doubt that the newspaper men of South America appreciate the merit and advantages of a journalistic outfit obtained from the United States. warded WESIVE ROYAL GGLD TRADING STAMPS—ASK FOH THEM (el By ANNUAL SALE GANNED VEGETABLES the weck commencing January 3rd to January 8th, inclusive, g have selected for our ices and quality c: ND AND PROCURE THE BENEFIT OF THIS EXTRAORDIN- RY SALE.

There is an article by Wal ter Fischer, reproduced from The Pan-American Bulletin, going at length into the possibilities of devel- opment in the Rio Negro valley, Ar- gentina’s southern territory, and\ showing what great inducements are held out to the agriculturist, with other contents of a similar charalc- ter. The Herald says: ‘This issue is primarily intended for United States citizens. It is designed to place on record the wonderful growth of with Argentina, to emphasizo the progress now being made in this re- niblic by the commercial men of the United States, to survey the faults North American trade ‘!

It would be well if such informa- tion as The Herald affords could be more widely circulated in the United States, particularly in quarters where it would stir our producers to greater activity in cultivating trade in Latin America. It is easy to ascertain what Argentina and other countries in South America wish to buy. In fact, The Herald devotes much space to telling what is needed and will find ready sale. It is also shown that fa- cilities for expediting commercial in- tercourse between the United States and Latin America are demanded. A hint to this effect may be found on the shipping page of The Herald. From this it appears that, standing the interruptions due to the war, tliere is a big fleet of merchant vessels operating between South American ports and the United King- dom and other Buropean countries, while few lines connect the United States with the southern hemisphere. A well-equipped American mercantile { marine, furnishing ready transporta- tion at moderate cost for passengers and freight, would be a powerful agency in bringing the Americas to- gether. Thus the business done ‘would be “gll-American” in the finest sense. The peoples of the southern sections are as truly Americsns as the the resi- dents of the United States. And all Americans should stand together for the common good. cans | 25¢ inute Tapioca . redded Wheat P Jelly Powder ...
