Address Delivered Be-
fore the Pennsylvania Bar
Association, at Cambridge
Springs Pa, T Toesday, June
26, 1900, by Hon. John K.
Richards, Solicitor General
of the United States.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-06-27
Established by the People.

As stated in its preamble, the constitution Of
the United States was ordained and established
by "the people of the United States "for the
United States of America" There is no am
biguity about the meaning Of the words Omitted
States of America" as here used. They mean
the states united under the constitution and are
named individually in the second section OF the
first article. They were the thirteen colonies
which had first become United States under the
confederation, and through their people, framed
the present constitution in order, among other
things, to form a more perfect union. This con-
clusiyely appears from the sxtn article, which
provides that all debts contracted before the
adoption OF the constitution "shall be as valid
against the United States under the constitu.
tion, as under the confederation"
The fact is not TO be lost sight of that the
primary source of sovereign power was the peo.
pie of the thirteen original states. These men
knew they were forming a government that
would endure for ages and dominate a contn-
ent, but il does not appear that they worried
themselves about the "consent Of the governed"
outside the states which they inhabited and
which alone were to participate in political pow.
er. They formed government in which the
people Of the states were alone represented and
adopted a constitution which, in its distribution
and limitation of power applied only to the
states.
In the early case of Hepburn VS.. Ellzey q
Cranch, 4iO QS05), the question came before
the Supreme court whether a citizen Of the
District OF Columbia could maintain an action
against a citizen Of Virginia, In support Of
the jurisdiction Mr., Lee insisted that to give
the term state a limited construction, would
deprive the citizens Of the district Of the general
rights of citizens of the United States and put
them in worse condition than aliens; and he
put the pertinent question, whether, in the face
Of the provision that mo tax or duty shall be
laid on articles exported from any state" con-
gress could lay a tax or duty on articles export.

Territorial Governments.

The theory upon which our territorial govern.
ments have been organized has been TO leave to
the inhabitants of each territory, such powers of
civil government as they may be capable of exer-
cising. As their education in government pro.
Gressed, the powers were enlarged until, finally,
upon demonstrating their fitness for statehood,
they have been allowed to organize their own
republican form of government and have been
admitted into the union upon terms Of equality
with the other states Whether any one Of
these new possessions will ever become nt to be
admitted as a state, time alone will show. We
do not have to cross that stream yet. We can
hold these territories, enforce peace and order,
protect life and property, educate their people,
civilize them, put them in the way OF making
the most OF themselves, and leave the result to
the future. When they are able to govern them
selves, we shall be free TO determine intelligent
ly their permanent relations to u.s. Time and
experience will show what is best for them and
for US. hue regard for their laws and traditions
should be shown They have been accustomed
to the jurisprudence of the civil law. 1t would
be the height of tyranny and oppression to com.
pei them to abandon it without good cause. In
providing them a system o. local government
we should keep in mind what Mr.. Justice Brown
said in the recent case Of Holden ys. Hardy Q69
U. s.. 36G):
In the future growth of the nation, as here.
tofore, it is not impossible that congress may see
ft to annex territories whose jurisprudence is
that OF the civil law One OF the considerations
moving to such annexation might be the very
fact that the territory so annexed should enter
the Union with its traditions, laws and systems
of administration unchanged, 1t would lie a
narrow construction of the Constitution to re-
quire them TO abandon these OF TO substitute
for a system which represented the growth Of
generations OF inhabitants a jurisprudence with
wheih they had had no previous acquaintance or
sympathy.
We have the new territories. We are response

epoch. The old serse OF security and indifference,
which a policy of isolation gave us, is gone.

ably, that the right to be indicted by a grand

II is n strange contention that as soon the
treaty went into effect the power OF the presi.
dent and congress to preserve order in these new
possessions ceased There grand juries,
no petit juries, no machinery for Furnishing crime
by the process of the AngoSaxon law, and yet,
il the limitations of the constitution ex proprio
vigore extended over these possessions, crime
could he punished in no other way. The con.
stitution which gave the United States the
power TO acquire territory by treaty, and i'm

government helpless by demanding impossibili.

territories, their civilization and education, will
permit of the organization of courts and jries

abandoned The situation resembles that dis.

President Cannot Extend Boundaries.


On the other hand. if the territory does not,
by the act OF cession, become Immediately an
integral part of the United States il the Con-
stitution does not ex proprio vigore extend over
It then, Of necessity the provisions OF the treaty
and the action of congress must determine
whether it shall or shall not become or be
deemed a part Of the United States in the con.
stitutional sense, and il ever, when? In other
words, the disposition and government Of the
acquired territory rests with the treaty-making
power and with congress The president can
not extend the boundaries Of the United States.
1t takes the legislative power to do that and it
may do it upon what terms it deems best
II It takes action by congress TO send the
Constitution and the laws OF the United States
into the territory, or stated differently, TO bring
the territory within the scope Of the Constitu.
ton, the disposition Of the matter is left wholly
to the discretion Of congress Congress may
send or withhold, send in part and when il
sees fit. Such, in fact, has been the practice.
/ Thus, to take one instance, in the act OF Sep.
tember o. 1850, organizing the territory Of
Utah the following section was inserted:
The Constitution and laws Of the United
States are hereby extended over and declared
20 he in force In said territory Of Utah. so far
y ss the same or any provision thereof, may be
applicable
II it takes action by congress to extend"
the constitution, in the sense Of applying its
limitations and restrictions. evidently the con-
stitution goes not a constitution but as an
act Of congress. Its provisions are virtually in.

Case of Thompson.

The recent case Of Thompson VS.. Utah (l70 y.
s., 34S; ls9S), turns upon one point simply, the
ex post facto character Of the state law Of Utah,
providing for jury Of eight, when applied to a
crime when a territory, and when under the ter.
ritoral law, the accused was entitled to a trial
by a jury Of twelve.
On the other hand, the supreme court has
held, over and over again, that the states may
do away with an indictment by grand Jury and
trial by petit jury in criminal cases, and
that no fundamental rights under our constitu.
tion or form OF government are violated by SO
doing Ciurtado VS.. California 40 U. S., SIG;
