torial government for protection by the
United States against domestic VIC
lence," this government would be
powerlcss to render assistance.
The act OF 1875, chapter &c, passed at
n time when Territorial governments re.
ccivcd little attention from Congress
enforced this duty of the United States
as to the States. But the act Of 1907
chapter 30, applied also to Territories
This law seems to have remained in
force until revision Of the statutes. when
| provision for Territories was dropped
l am not advised whether this altcra-
ton was intentional or accidental, but il
seems to me the Territories should be
| offered protection which is accorded to
States by the Constitution. | sug-
! gcst legislation to that end. 1t seems
| TO me. too, that whatever views may
| prevail as to the policy of recent lcgis-
lation, by which the army has ceased to
| be part Of the posse Commitntus, an
! exception might well be made for per
hitting the military to assist the civil
| Territorial authorities in enforcing the
laws Of the United States. This use of
| the army would non seem to be within
! the alleged evil against which that lcgis-
lation was aimed. From sparsencss of
population. and other circumstances. il
is often quite impracticablc to summon
a civil posse in places where officers Of
justice require assistance. and where
a military force is within easy reach.
