shed TO establish the sovereignty of our
flag there are planted the imperishabie
seeds of the institutions of the Nation: and
there those institutions flourish in proper
ton as the soil where they are planted is
prepared for them
OF these institutions. the American Con-
stitution is the highest. noblest and ulti-
mate expression; and so our Constitution
can grow only where the simpler forms
of our institutions have already prepared
the way. Therefore, our Constitution may
follow the flag, but our institutions do fol-
low the flag. Our Constitution did not
create our institutions; institutions
created our Constitution. Our Constitution
did not give us liberty; liberty give us
our Constitution. Even some OF those who
most strenuously fought for American in
dependence resisted the adoption of the
Constitution the prison house in which.
If adopted, our liberty would expire. Pat
rick Henry who said Give me liberty or
give me DEATH" opposed the adoption of
the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson, who
wrote the declaration, accepted the Con-
stitution with reluctance. Our Constitu-
ton is not and never was intended to be
anything else than a method of national
government, an ordinance of national unity.
AS such, IL is the noblest product of Amerl-
can institutions. And therefore. our insti-
tutions follow the flag, and our Constitu-
ton may follow the flag when our institu-
tons have worked out their results among
the peoples where we have sent them.
Free institutions are as definite, certain
and concrete as our Constitution itself.
Free speech Is an institution of liberty.
Free schools institution of liberty.
The freedom TO worship God according to
the dictates Of the conscience is an institu-
ton of liberty. Any American schoolboy
can catalogue free institutions. And as
fast as the simplest of these institutions
prepares these children Providence has
given into our keeping for higher grades.
just that fast more complex forms of our
institutions will follow as naturally rs
childhood succeeds infancy, youth succeeds
childhood and manhood crowns maturity.
First the blade, then the ear then the
full corn In the ear" Our flag, Our In
situations! Our Constitution, This Is the
immortal order in which American civiliza-
ton marches and shall march around the
world until all mankind shall. in the lumi-
nous centuries to come, be brought beneath
the spirit and practice of our liberty.
And so the answer to the politician
battle-cry that 1.-THE Constitution follows
the flag is this great truth of popular
liberty, our institutions follow the flag.

PORTO RICO LAW A COMPROMISE.
Disqualification Means Liberty of
Thought Among the PeopIe

Thought" Among the People
The opposition cite the Porto Rican law
as proof that will not pursue the proper
policy, even conceding that we have the
power. But that law proves the reverse.
The law on the statute books is not the
proposed act which caused the original on
position. The law as finally enacted is a
compromise of all opinions within the Re-
publican party. In the Senate there were
Republicans who believed, and still believe.
that commercial policy and sound states
manship require reciprocity between the
republic and its possessions; and We bat
tied for our opinions. There were those
who believe in tariff with our possess
sions; and they battled for their opinions
The result was composite of the views of
all. as every practical law must be, as the
Declaration of Independence was as the
Constitution of the United States was. The
act that finally passed and is now the law
was the Senate civil government bill,
which, while not perfect, is the best legisla-
ton ever constructed for a dependency On
to that law section was engrafted which
as finally modified, provides free trade one
way Immediately and free trade both ways.
as soon as the civil government of the
island is established. Free trade with
Porto Rice is our declared and enacted
policy.
Ine views OF hepuDllcdn leglS-
lators were considered. The conflicting
views of Republican newspapers of the
country were considered. The conflicting
views of Republican voters OF the country
were considered. And this is the greatest
glory OF the Republican party; it is the
only political organization in the world
that permits liberty of thought. No man
dictates to the Republican party its
policies. as the great chieftain of the op-
position dictated his policies TO his conven-
ton at Kansas City. Every Republican
is honored within the party for the MAIN
tenance of his convictions. And those con-
victions are considered in the formation of
any law which a Republican majority
passes or any platform which a Republican
convention adopts. But the Democratic

STATE FEDERATEDLABOR
ANNUAL CONVENTION BRINGS OUT
STRIKING REPORTS.
Few Strikes i'm Indiana, and Most of
These Have Been Successful
Legislative Recommendations.
ecial TO the Indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Sept. 25.-The an
nual session of the Indiana Federation of
Labor began in this city to-day with one
hundred delegates in attendance. The
meeting will continue three days. The del
egates were welcomed to the city this
morning by Mayor Mckee, and on behalf
of local organized labor by c. E. Carter.
President Edgar A Perkins, of Indianapo-
lis, responded The work of the session
was then taken up. c. f. Barker. of Fort
Wayne, was made reading clerk and the
standing committees were appointed. The
annual report of l.. p: Mccormack, state
labor commissioner. showed that Indiana
had been comparatively free from strikes.
owing to healthy business conditions and
improved organization of labor. There
were but twenty-eight strikes, of which
nineteen were successful. In fourteen
strikes increased wages had been demanded
and secured. He urged renewed efforts at
organization and showed that there were
too many strikes without good cause,
which injured the cause of labor. He urged
that the next Legislature pass a compul-
sorry arbitration law, similar to the Ohio
law.
George Derrick, of Muncie, reported that
the new law had reduced the number of
men working on prison goods contracts
one-half. He recommended that a repre-
sentative of labor be placed on the prison
board
President Perkins. in his annual address,
urged the establishment of lecture bureau
for the education of laboring people and
labor organizations. He urged labor to
look to its interests in the effort TO bring
about amendments to the mechanics lien
law. He said the time was ripe for con-
stitutional amendment permitting munich
palities to exceed the debt limitations now
imposed, when such increase is to be ap-
piled for the purpose of carrying out the
theory of municipal ownership. A primary
election law and law compelling the use
of voting machines and the fling of ex-
pense accounts by candidates were also
urged
This afternoon Secretary ]. w. Peters,
of South Bend, made his report showing
the federation to be in fiourishng condi-
ton. and this evening was devoted to dis
cussiOn of the union label question, led by
w. ID. Vanhorn. president of District No

escape from our responsibility. The &C.
ouisition OF these lands is the best thing
that ever happened TO the Republic except
ing only the beginning OF the Nation in
1883 and its establishment forever in 1865
In this evolution OF American power and
purposes a great natural law is working.
Reward and happiness follow the fulfill
ment of the law OF ones being, whether by
d man or by nation i, therefore, favor
of natural development; second, as a mat
ter OF duty to our wards; and third, as a
matter of markets, which henceforth must
prove the thing of greatest practical con-
Germ to the American statesmen. But II
no reason existed for maintaining our SOW
ereignty throughout the Philippines except
that OF extending civilization, that reason
alone would be compelling. We could not
surrender them If we would, and this is the
conclusion of the argument of morals and
business.

lican candidate for member of Congress,
from the Second district, opened his cam
paign in this county at Shelburn last night.

W. r. Nesbit. of this city. the Republican
candidate for prosecuting attorney, to the
opera house short address was made
by Mr.. Nesbit. who introduced Mr.. Wads-
worth. The latter gave his auditors an
eloquent exposition of the Issues in their
relation to his hearers. which was very
impressive from the fact that he was en-
gagged for many years as miner at his
home in Daviess county. poll of the
audience showed fifteen votes present who
voted for Lincoln in 1860

Democratic candidate, secured In 1898, is
