terize as an assumption OF legislative
power by one branch of congress acting
in its individual capacity.
But waiving this view for the time. let
the G o e ask Senator Davis where he
finds a precedent for his proposition.
history. The territory of Louisiana was
ceded to us by France in 1903 by treaty.
Florida came from Spain by treaty In
1873. Part of Arizona, New Mexico and
and Utah came to us in the same way In
1913, from Mexico, while Alaska was
ceded by Russia in 1867. Senator Davis
Is Justly famous among those who know
him for his scholarship and great ca
pacity of research. The correspondents
tell us that he has worked on the Puerto
Rico problem for several months and
has mastered 1t. Why. II this be the case.
has Senator Davis NOT given the public
the fruits Of his researches, at least to
the extent of pointing out even a single
analogous case In which congress felt
compelled to treat the territories thus
acquired as being outside of the United
States and their people without any Of the
constitutional rights or immunities which
are guaranteed by the American con-
stitution until congress had taken pity
on them and extended over them the
panoply of that constitution?
If there is any such case in the political
history of the United States Senator Davis
knows 1t. and he should not In the pres
ent excited condition of public sentiment
reserve his knowledge until he comes to
make his speech on the subject. He
would render great service to his Re-,
publican colleagues who believe with him
and to the natiouaf administration of his
party by so doing. greater even than that
represented by the introduction of his
bill, however great or little that service
proves to be.
We are all trying to define the differ
ence between expansion and imperialism.
Democrats and Republicans alike would
benefit by the act If Senator Davis can
show. in the ways we suggest or in any
other way, that the Puerto Rico business
is not case of militant imperialism, as
old-county folk know and realize that in
sttution as distinguished from the ex-
pansion which Thomas jefferson and 9TH
ers of the great men of the past have ad-
vocated and carried into operation.

Commissioners of Works.
When Chester r. Smith Joined his col
leagues at the charter commission meet
Ing last evening he was greeted with ap-
plause. No particular welcome was given
former Mayor Doran when he put In an
appearance, butthe members of the COM
mission had not been officially advised
that the Sixth ward statesman was
candidate for mayoralty honors Present
at the meeting of the commission were:
Messrs. Flandrau, Doran, Smith, Bridg-
man, O'Brien, Childs, Zimmerman, Tay-
lor and Tighe
Mr.. OBrien urged the commission to
agree on some general plan as to the
chapter providing for the board of public
works He suggested that it would be
advisable to have a single commissioner
or public works to be appointed by the
mayor, and who would be exofficio city
engineer and building inspector, and have
all the powers now possessed by the
board of public works, except In cases
or improvements involving the condemna-
ton Of lands. In this case the district
court could appoint a board of assess
ment. The fees of such assessment COM
mission, Mr.. O'Brien said, would not
amount to more than $500 per year. and
the salaries of three commissioners would
be saved.
The suggestion of Mr. OBrien was vot-
ed down, and then the commission direct
ed that the chapter providing for the
board of public works should provide for
board to consist of three members
whose power should be limited to the de-
Gliding of local improvements to be made,
the levying Of assessments for the same
and the supervision of the city light
ing. The city engineer, under the chapter,
Is to be appointed by the mayor, and
given care and charge of the removal of
garbage, street sprinkling, street cleaning
and the duties of the building inspector,
independent of the board of public works.
The commission then took up sections
In the chaper devoted to powers of the
council relating to the granting Of fran
chises and approved those giving the
council power by a three-fourths vote to
grant franchises for privileges subject to
gross earnings tax of not less than 5
per cent, payable annually. No exclusive
franchise is to be granted for a longer
period than twenty-five years No ordi-
nance granting any privileges or fran
chise Is to be passed until after thirty
days after its introduction. Annual state
