to 1t without restriction by the Constitution
itself.
The real question to be answered by the
Supreme Court is: Must territory belong
ing to the United States be construed as
included within the words United States"
as they appear in the uniformity y-of-duties
clause of the Constitution? When the Con-
sttution says that the day for choosing
presidential electors shall be same
Throughout the United States" 1t refers
clearly to the states, and evidently does
not include non-voting territory like our
new possessions within the meaning OF
United States Are they included within
the similar words throughout the United
States" in the provision concerning uni
formity of duties?
A negative answer to this question would
mean that territory belonging to the
United States is not always to be treated
as an integral part of the United States'
The Constitution would suffer no oblitera-
ton either partial or complete. Indeed,
there would not even be a hint of disre-
spect for the Constitution: rather the flat
terry of imitation. For the Constitution it
self in the thirteenth amendment clearly
distinguishes between the United States
and places subject to their Jurisdictions"
said places being Enthusiastically the terri
tory belonging to the United States When
the Constitution says that slavery shall not
exist within the United States or any
place subject to their Jurisdiction 1t asserts
by implication that there are places subject
TO the jurisdiction of the United States
winch are not within the United States
The Supreme Court will decide the legal
question without reference to results But
the practical consequences of the decision
are not without popular interest Porto
RICO and the United States are in The
star opinion, ready for uniformity of

was enacted on the opposite theory Ha-
wall Is ready for the uniformity which has
peen extended with organized territorial
government; but was not ready during the
perloo between annexation and organization

American duties We're collected A decis on
against the Porto Rico law would render
unconstitutional the duties collected in Ha-

Differing from Porto Rico and Hawaii, the
Pniilppnes are not yet ready for uniform

injury to American business interests has
peen sufilc-ently presented and Is we'll un-
derstood. And on the other hand the people
OF the Philippines would suffer. To extend
the Dlngiey law to the islands would to
cite for example a single important item

rate.

The important question now under con-
sideration by the Supreme Court is pop
ularly worded: Does the Constitution fol-
low the fiag?" This form Of expression is
however. misleading, since 1t implies
contention on one side of the controversy
that In certain places subject to the repub.
lies jurisdiction and under the American
flag the Constitution is nuiiity. There is
nc necessity for even a partial effacement
OF the Constitution. whatever the decision
of the Supreme Court may be.
The real question is not whether any por-
ton of the republic falls outside of the ar-
piication and Jurisdiction Of the Constitu
ton, but how are the words of the Con-
sutUtion referring to the territories to bs
rightly construed. and what limitations
does the Constitution impose upon Congress
IT the exercise of Its constitutionally grant
ed power Of regulating the territory be-
longing to the United States?
No one really disputes that the Constttu-
ton extends to the Philippines to Hawaii
and to Porto Rico. The Constitution ere
ates Congress. makes il the governing body
of our recently acquired Islands, and fixes
the status of the latter territory be-
longing to the United States" and among
places subject to their Jurisdiction" 10
say that certain constitutional limitations
upon the power of Congress which unde-
niably restrict 1t in dealing with the states
are not intended to apply to 1t in legis-
lating for the territories is not to place the
latter outside Of the Constitution. This In
strument gives to Congress, as the legisla-
ture OF the territories. express power to
make all needful rules and regulations con-
corning them. II no one Of the constitu-
tional limitations upon the power of Con-
sress Is held to apply to 1t in this capacity

From the New York Tribune.
Austria has always been a bundle Of rest

and biting each other like cats In bag,
but it has managed to hold together a
thousand years or 80, and may survive It's
coming election more momentouS to 1t

has been rising to Importance in the empire
of late. pushing the German into the back
ground, and he now appears at the front,
riding various careering issues, their necks
clothed with thunder. like the Cossack' 8
horse, the critical ones Of race and Ian
guage being among them. The new reichs-
rath promises to be wholly unmanageable,
and the emperor has already signified his
intention to govern without it If necessary,
suspanding the constitution for that pur-
pose, as Bismarck did in Prussia under cir
cumstances of less political pressure. 1t is
an expedient always ready to the en-
peror's hand. and may enable him to check
the Czechs in their more obstreperous en-
terprises. and perhaps keep their tongue
from being fastened on the country as the
court language.

A Musical Need.

In the column devoted to Musical Men
ton published elsewhere today, appears
letter from a well-known local musical
amateur who strongly revives the sugges-
ton, heretofore made, that a suitable con-
cert hall he erected in Washington by either
public or private enterprise This sugges-
ton acquires more force as the years bring
added credit to the capital as an artistic
and musical center. the home of thousands
OF lovers of music, who are increasing
patrons of creditable organizations. There
is at present no place where instrumental
concerts can be given on other than Sunday
nights under favorable auspices The audi
tOriums now available for vocal and at
times for instrumental concerts are excel
lent in their way. but are either too small
or are lily planned for the delicate pur-
poses of fine musical program. There
should be an ample hail. arranged for Ideal
acoustic effects, with convenient seating
plan, and centrally located to accommodate te
all sections of the city. Washington lacks
nothing in theatrical equipment, but the
exigencies of the dramatic business are
such as to prevent the giving Of concerts
in the season save on night which is re-
garded by very many as unsuited for any
form Of entertainment. Thus the field Of

place among musical centers in this part of
the country is so limited that they must
work at d disadvantage, especially in their
function OF elevating the popular taste and
cultivating the patronage which must stand
ever ready to support and encourage these
institutions. The time is ripe for such an
enterprise. and Its success as well as its
beneficent effect will be assured from the
outset If the present spirit Of the COM

A MODERN POSTER.

The Great Falls Tribune is quite
a success as an up-to date poster
but it lacks a good deal of hsing
classed with frst-class newspapers.
Time was when the Tribune carried
power and dominion wherever it
went. Today it carries nothing but
bombast, buldozing and buncombe,
and in every issue portrays the utter
dismay of the Clark forces 1t was
once pride to the homes of this
county-but-s'how are the mighty
fallen!'
The Tribune says it 'sdoesn't per-
secute, but prosecutes," and then
calls Mr.. Gormley an egregious ass,
calls Mr.. Cockrill superannuated
bull buffalo, and every democrat
who won't follow Clark a copper
collared nincompoop. It's base char
acterizatioDs of men who are not
''in" the fight at all, and who are
too honorable to be dragged into it,
would indicate that persecution is
the Tribune's long suit.

A NOVEL SPECTACLE.
Old 1924" Breaks Down, and the M.
C. Train Cuts Across the Country
to Save Time.

Last Friday the train from Great
Falls was three hours late, and from
all accounts the passengers and
crew were lucky that they escaped a
fate much worse than missing sup
per. They certainly had close
call.
1t seems that old 1894" the trust
ed and long tried animal that pulls
the regular more or less irregularly
into Neihart broke down at Belt,
and all kinds of trouble was in
sight. The engine was dead and
the train stood motionless despite
the prayers of HI. L. Robinson, the
tears of mail clerk Morrow and the
oaths of the remainder of the train
crew. They pushed the engine ov-
er to the mine blacksmith shop and
ordered a surgical operation in the
tender region, while the gang sat
around on lumber piles, rolled cigar
cites and enjoyed the luxuries of
life.
But Conductor Mcpherson is too
thrifty for sedentary life, and too
resourceful to let little thing like
a bursted water pipe hinder his vic
torious and spectacular transit Of the
blooming Alps between Belt ard
Neihart. He left the engine with a
blacksmith and the crowd with their
