SummaryResumen
The *Evening Star* published an analytical article examining Dominican political history through the writings of Américo Lugo and Francisco J. Peynado during the 1916 crisis. The piece argued that Dominican national instability resulted not only from domestic shortcomings but also from foreign intervention and the restrictive 1907 financial convention imposed by Washington.

Infancy cannot become adult because it so wishes.
The Dominican State reflects what, it can, the vari
able will of the popular masses; in no way a public
desire that does not exist here.
“The Dominican people are not a nation because they
have no awareness of what constitutes one, because
their political activities have not become sufficiently
generalized. Not being a nation, the State that pre
tends to represent this, is not a true State.”
To this negative conclusion arrived the sated hope
of the great Dominican when nearing his 46th birth
day. He had had no opportunity to observe in his
country one single moment of national sanity. About
this same time in 1916, Don Francisco J. Peynado
also delivered his famous speech at the Floral Games.
He was then travelling along the same pathways of
desperation and skepticism that moved Lugo's soul.
It was not then possible, in that mournful year, to
be able to give a satisfied smile regarding the future
