Il new story about the lynching of the

According TO this story the mob
killed an innocent man, and it further
appears that there was no assault nor
attempt to assault, as at first given out.
The facts about negro having en-
tered the house of the Corley family
were spread abroad in the neighbor-
hood and they became distorted as
they were passed from mouth TO
mouth. The negro Hays bore bad
reputation in the vicinity and someone
suggested him as the probable culprit.
This report was spread about and
Hays was killed.

CONSTITUTIONAL POINT RAISED

Washington-Attorn General Griggs
has under consideration question, a
decision OF which will mean for the in
habitants Of all the islands which have
come under the sovereignty OF the Uni
ted States, and which involves the ques-
tion of whether the United States can
maintain a colonial system without a
revision of the constitution.
1t il a question raised by the inhabi-
tants OF Porto Rico, who wish to import
sugN and other products of their island
into the United States free of duty.
They have set up the claim that Porto
Rico became an integral part OF the
United States upon its cession by Spain
and that it IL in violation of the consti-
tuition to levy duties on articles import
cd from the island. In the treaty of
Paris no agreement was made as to the
status of Porto Rico. Guam OF tbe Phil
ippines.
So far the treaty itself is concerned,
there does not seem to be anything in 1t
that supports either one side or the
other Of the controversy. Decisions Of
the supreme court have settled the fact
that when territory is in the military
possession Of tho United States by right
Of conquest, the laws do not extend to it,
and 1t is subject to the will of the mill
tary authorities.
1t is clear tina. until the treaty OF
Paris went into effect tho islands taken
from Spain were held under military
authority. How far the status is chang
ed by tho exchange Of the ratifications
of the peace treaty is the real point at
issue which the attorney general is call
ed upon to decide.
Up to the present time the president
has acted on the theory that the compile
tion of the treaty made no changes

would continue under military control
until congress decided otherwise. Two
clauses of the constitution are invoked
by the opposing sides OF the eontrover-
sy. Those who hold that the ceded is
lands became an integral part OF the
United States contend that they come
under the clause which requires all du-
ties, imposts and excises to be uniform
throughout the United States, while
those who take the opposite view con-
tend that this cause applies only to ter
ritory embraced In the states actually
admitted to the Union and does not ap-
ply to territory in possession OF the Uni
ted States and not part OF any state.
They contend that the new possessions
came under the clause of the constitu-
ton giving congress the power to dis
pose of and make all needful rules and
regulations resp .cting territory or other
property belonging to the United States.

1.-THE NAN WITH THE HOE"

Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes the ground.
The emptiness of Ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and dispair,
thing that grieves not and that never hopes
stold and stunned, brother to the OK?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose the hand that santed back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the flame within this brain?
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion and land
To trace the stars and search the heavens for
To feel the passion of Eternity
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And pillared the blue armament with light?
Down all the stretch Of He'll to it's last gulf
There s no shape more terrible than this
More ongued with censure of the worlds blind greed
More filed with signs and portsnts for the soul-
More frought with menace to the Universe.
What gulfs between him and the seraphim
Slave of the wheel OF labor what to him
Are Plato and the swing PleiadesY
What the long reaches of the peaks of song
The rift OF dawn the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread form the suffering ages look;
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity, betrayed
Plundered profaned and disipherited,
Cries protest to the Judges of the World
protest that is also prophecy.
masters, lords and rulers in all lands
Is this the handiwork you give to God
This monstrous thing distorted and souq quenchedf
How will you straighten up this shape;
Touch it again with Immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Peradious wrongs mmedicable woes?
masters lords and rulers in all lands
How will the Future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world?
How will 1t be with kingdoms and with kings
With those who shaped him to the thing he is
When this dumb Terror shall reply to God
After the silence of the centuries?

stakes after having made a survey Of
the Lille property. He was going
along peacefully when one of them ap-

that when he had left them some DIS

For long time there has been a
StrOnS IeeunS between the miners and
owners of the Lille and Bestlemeyer.
The latter is the owner of the Silver
King, which was recently bonded to
Ezra Thompson of Park City. and he
(Bestlemeyer) claims that the original
of the Lille, which adjoins
the Silver King, were moved back at
one time. thus leaving a section of
ground between the two claims about
100 feet wide by 800 long. This section
was recently located by Judge NJ. NJ.
Kellogg. Now the Lille people have
made new survey and il appears that
the result throws the latter on what
claims as Silver King
ground. For a long time this matter.
