The Porto Rican Status.
The
Atlanta J oumal.
Journal reproduces to-day
from Collier’s Weekly the views of
Senator Bacon on the effect of the
supreme court’s decision in the prin
cipal Porto Rico case.
The question, “What have we
done to Porto Rico?” is answered
by Senator Bacon in a very impres
sive manner.
He says that there is yet no tell
ing how the decision will affect the
Filipinos, as they are still under mil
itary government, but he shows very
clearly how hard are the conditions
we have imposed upon the people of
Porto Rico, who expected such man
ifold blessings at our hands. He
gives a succinct statement of the
course of the legislation snd policy
which led up to our present attitude
as fixed by the supreme court. It is
not a pleasing picture, and has few
features we can view with pride.
Senator Bacon calls attention to
one effect of the supreme court’s de
cision which we have not seen com
mented on before.
It is the fact that as the matter
now stands Porto Ricans, though
subject to our laws, cannot become
citizens of the United States. They
stand on the same plane as the Chi
nese who were already in this coun
try when the Chinese exclusion act
wass passed.
The Porto Ricon in his own coun
try is a vassal, and when he comes
to the United States he finds no
provision through which he can take
any part in the government he helps
support.
We discriminate against him as
we do not against the negro from
Hayti, San Domingo or the wilds of
Africa. He has ceased to be a citi
zen of Spain and cannot become t
citizen of the United States. He is
an outcast ou the face of the earth.
Senator Bacon distinguished him
self greatly in the debate on the
question of the proper government
for the people over whom we have
assumed cont.ol, either by reason of
our treaty with Spain or by force of
arms.

The Northern Pacific Railroad has
taken practical steps to encourage
stock raising along its lines. Agents
of the company have been author

who have settled on the lands adja

the road say that 'by thus assisting
the farmers they will be adding to
the earning power of the road.

Some facts brought out at the re
cent Southern Industrial convention
at Philadelphia show how large the
south’s share is in the general growth
and prosperity.- The south includes
one-fourth of the total area and one-
third of the population of the United
States. Its cotton and cotton seed
alone gave it an income last year of
$545,000,000—the largest value of
any single crop in the world. Its
com and its lumber product brought
it the snag sum of $300,000,000.
Moreover, the south raises SO per
cent of ail American tobacco, mines
20 per cent of all its coal, produces
18 per cent of its iron, has 30 per
cent of its total railroad mileage and
a steadily increasing percentage of
its manufacturing. The growth of
its cotton mills has been simply won
derful. New England’s old suprem
acy in this great industry is gone,
probably never to return.—Ex.
The Scheme That Failed.
Mr. Ed Wight, the proprietor of
the Belmont Poultry and Live Stock
Farm in Cobb county, is building a
large chicken house, 850 feet long
by 60 feet in width, which he pro
poses using for the purpose of rais
ing chickens by process of incuba
tion. The building will be brick,
covered with a glass roof, and in
size and style will be a duplicate of
of the one on the Langhlin Poultry
Farm, near Sidney, O. In this build
ing was raised last year 200,000
chickens. Mr. Laughlin last year
cleared $36,000 from the sale of
chickens and eggs. Mr. Wight says
that while he does not expect to do
as well, he will make an effort to ap
proximate these results.—Marietta
Journal.
In some of the Swiss Valleys the
inhabitants are all afflicted with goi
tre or “stiff neck.” Instead of re
garding this as a deformity they
seem to think it a natural feature of
physical development, and tourists
passing through the valleys are
sometimes jeered by the goitrous in
habitants, because they are without
this offensive swelling. Thus a form
of disease may become so common
that it is regarded as a natural and
necessary condition of life. It is so,
to a large extent, with what are call
ed diseases of women. Every woman
suffers more or less from irregularity,
ulceration, debilitating drains, or fe
male weakness, and this suffering is
so common and so universal that
many women accept it as a condi
tion natural and necessary to their
sex. But it is a condition as unnat
ural as it is unnecessary. The use of

The worst victim of hard luck we
have heard of lately is a young man

“I say, Gaddesby,” said Mr. Smith,
according to London Answers, as he
entered a Peebles fishmonger’s with
a lot of tackle in his hand, “I want
you to give me some fish te take
home with me. Put them up to look
as if they had been caught to-day,
will you?”
“Certainly, sir. How many?”
“Oh, you’d better give me three
or four—barbel! Make it look de
cent in quantity without appearing
to exaggerate, you know.”
“Yes, sir. You’d better take sal
mon, eh?”
“Whv? What makes you think
so?”
“Oh, nothing except that your
wife was down early this morning
and said if you dropped in with
your fishing tackle and a generally
woe-begone look, I was to persuade
you to take salmon if possible, as
she liked that kind better than any
other.”

The Ladies to Compete.
Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson of Rome has
notified the management of the South
ern Inter-State Fair that she will make
an exhibit of agricultural products at
the Fair this fall.
Mrs. Johnson is president of the Geor
gia Federation of Women’s Clubs, and
has charge of a department of the Fair
—that of Women’s Work, but her agri
cultural exhibit will not be in the Wo
men’s Department, but will be installed
in the Agricultural Building, and will
compete with other exhibits put in by
some of the best farmers in the state.
There will be other exhibits by ladies in
the Agricultural Department. Mrs.
Johnson’s bold defiance will be follow
ed up. and competition between the
men and women will be of a very lively
nature.
There are five premiums for collective
agricultural exhioits to be competed for
