free admission of binding Irvine to the

cause of the fact that the new Canadian

tariff law only imposes a duty on the

ARE THEYU. 8. TERRITORY?
WHAT r. THE STATUS OF poRTc
RICO?
An Opinion From the Insular Commit
tee-Hawail is wrongfully Classed In
the Same Category.

The lnsular Commission, says a recent
Burlington Hawkeye, has prepared an
exhaustive opinion by which they hold
United States as the result of war with
Spain are not part of the territory of
the United States Copies of this opin-
ion have been furnished to the secre-
tary of war and the attorney general,
and II is surmised the latter will short
ly prepare an official opinion upon this
important question. The commission
holds there is a radical difference be-
tween territory as part of the United
States and territory in possession of the
United States 1t has been conceded
they say that we can do as wep lease
with the islands which we obtained
from Spain. If this general admission
is true, then they affirm the islands
cannot be part of the territory of the
United States because no part of the
United States can be alienated. The
supreme court has held that military
occupation does not extend the bound
aries of the United States. The COM
mission claims Spanish cession merely
confirmed our military occupation
There was nothing in the treaty of
Paris which made the islands we OBJ
tanned from Spain a part of our
territory. In this repect the treaty was
very markedly different from those by
which we obtained Florida and Louis
lana. The situation with reference to
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines
the commission says, practically is the
same as that of territory acquired from
Mexico in the war of 1916. There was
military occupation of New Mexico for
five years before Congress by enact
ment extended the sovereignty of the
laws of the United States over it and
amalgamated 1t with the Union. One
Porto Rico and the other islands are
recognized as territory of the United
States, the decision, the commission
| holds, is irreVocable All the laws If
the United States are Immediately OK
tended over the islands. Citizenship is
conferred upon the inhabitants and
! communication between the islands I'd
! the United States becomes free in viz
tue of the constitutional provisions in
! hibiting the laying of duties between
portions of the United States territory.
The Hawkeye adds: The members of
the commission believe that the courts
of the United States in rendering a de-
! cision on this question would of neces-
sity follow the political policy of the
government They have prepared a
code of laws for extension over the ISL
ands, with reference to tariff duties.
They believe much injury results from
! the present condition. While military
government has power in Porto Rico
| for instance, to reduce tariff on goods
entering the island, il had no power to
! reduce tariff upon exports from the ISL
and to the United States. Therefore
they say, it would be manfestly unfair
to negotiate reciprocity treaties with
Barbados. Jamaica and other West m
dian islands, by which they could gel
their products into the United States a
lower rates than those which come from
Porto Rico.

NAPOLEON's DEATH MASK.

On March 6. 1921, the day after the
great Napoleon died. Antommarchi his
physician, took a plaster cast of his
face, and fer this death mask he was
soon afterward offered e6O00 by a
wealthy London collector of curiosities.
He refused the offer and retained the
mask in his possession until he had Sc
cured perfect copy of it in bronze
says the New York Herald. The origi-
nal cast was then offered for sale in
London, the price being first e6OO0 and
afterwards $4,000 No purchaser, how
ever appeared, and the same was the
case in Brussels, where the price asked
was 100000 francs. The bronze mask
had meanwhile become the property of
the society entitled the Sons of Glory.
all of whom were at one time officers of
the Grand Army. When a member of
the society died the mask was placed
on his coffin during the funeral service
After the death of the last member the
mask passed into the possession of Miss
Forty, an English lady She has Just
died, and at the sale of her effects the
once famous mask fetched a compare
lively small sum-ridiculously small. in
deed when compared with the sum
which was once offered to Antommarchi
for his plaster cast.

A PROPOSITION WORTHY OF COM
SlDERATiON.

There is talk now of combininr
against combines, of fighting the devil
with fire. It really looks as IL the ei-
| gantic trusts. growing more gigantic
with h weeks, had the people by the
throat now. Texas and Arkansas
through their legislatures. have open
ed the war in earnest, but the people
themselves must not wait longer, but
must combine for protection, in self
defence. Such is the idea that is TAX
ing hold Of Texas people. and 1t may
extend, for the necessities increase
with the dangers that threaten. The
trusts are TO be fought if they are ever
crippled in owe or driven from the
field they now hold n are entrench-
&C in There must b. united, determined
acton. A mere guerilla var will no.
succeed. It must be a compact, ag-
gressive fight all along the line. The
Waco, Texas, Times-Herald leads off
with the proposition of an united move
ment by those states hat can be safely
counted Upon. 1t says, and 1t certainly
is certainly worth thinking over:
IL iIIi6hL oS IlpOoSiOiS " SCI0iE Tie
cooperation Of all the states, but a
sufficient number Of them can be en-
listed to make the movement effective.
Every state that went democratic in
1896 would enter into the arrangement.
There are twenty-five OF them, as fol-
lows: Alabama, Arkansas. Colorado.
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana.
Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina.
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washing
ton, Wyoming. Among the states which
voted a majority for the republican
ticket the following may reasonably be
expected to join in the movement: Cal
ifornLa, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Minnesota, Michigan, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
This increases the number to thirty
three, leaving only twelve states for
the trusts to operate in"
1t is suggested that a convention Of
governors n attorney generals of the
states should meet and determine Upon
some line of action and opposition.
The Texas paper says that the "pur-
pose should be to adopt such a curse
as o secure the cooperation of
the people of the several states and at
the same time be sufficiently strong and
drastic to effectually knock out the
trusts, preventing such organizations
from doing business in any of the
states so legislating. An agreement of
this kind between the executives of the
tainly thirty-three states named as be-
ing reasonably sure to Cooperate
would most certainly find a ready re-
SpOnse with the people and the legis-
latures would doubtless adopt the
measures recommended by their res
pective governors"
