Dozen or More Speeches Made Yes
terday.

Chicago, Fsbr uary IL Tonight. at the
CLOSE of the frat days proceedings of the
antitrust conference, callsd by the ma
tional antitrust lesgue, good progress
had been made with the set speeches of
which a dozen or more we're delivered.
The resolutions committee was busy this
afternoon and tonight. while the main
body of the delegates were listeniog to
the spes ches at Central Mt sic hall. A set
OF resolutions was formulated by the com.
mittse covering the followin points:
Government ownership of all railways
and telegraph lines, the abolition of all
special privileges by legislative enact
msnt, placing on the free list Of all trust
goods and direct legislation by pc tition
from the psopls. The discussion in oom
mittse was carried on these lines An
amendment was offered for the taxation
of all franchises but WAS voted down on
the ground that such action would simply
lsgalize special privileges.

was not sufficient to bsoish all reasonable

twelve men who heard all the tie stimony

We do not think 1t admits Of doubt
that the SIZE, policy to pursue with re-
gard to Poi to Rico and the Philippines,
IL We ara going to hold them forever, Is
to treat them al territory outside OF the
Unit,d States, with no Inherent right to
become states, such as pertains to teEri'
tory regarded as within the United
States. 1t is possible that in time Porto
Rico may contain population which it
would be safe tt entru,t with power u
help lie yis'ate for the states OF this union,
but the population OF the Philippines
must forever remain allen and unit to
help Us govern. 7 hat being SO the Pill
ippines ut least should be regarded as
dependent territory upon which statehood
car never be conferred, provided 1t Is
with tn, power of Congress so to re-
efrd It. And Just hsrs arises que ton
of tr mendous Importance that can lie
lett ed only by tie Supreme Court, which
is whether the annex alton OF territory
makes th,t tsfritory by virtue of lite
anne xatIon, Ia-t Of the Unite states,
under the constitution, and entities to
ell this privileges guaranteed by
the COR slit Ition, or whether 1t
may bs trei ted az territory
out de Of the United STATES over which
Congress ray leg i5lste without regard to
the constitution, as the British Parlia-
msnt lesislatss In regard TO British
ooIopiss. The Iast deti;ions Of the
Supreme Court seem to be in thu direc-
ton Of tbs frat propoi ition. that annexed
territory becomes by virtue of such an
nexation part Of the United States. 1t
BY no means follows. however. that the
Supreme Court at the present time would
follow those presidents. Courts like all
other human institute )ns, are affected
y oircum at auoes, and vary their doc
tiinss sometimes to conform to the re-
ouirements of existing conditions. We
have seen the court reverse itself on Sc
important questions as the power OF Con-
CESS to make anything but gold and silver
legal tender and to impose an Income
tax. But II the court should maintain
whit appears to be its ancient iootripe
there could net be too much bury tC
add an arendH emit to the constitution

-niss as ia rritcry outside the United
