The effect of this decision is TO con-

deal with the newly-acquired territory
in such manner as the legislative
branch may consider suitable for the

the effect of declaring that the new

J. That the island OF Porto Rico Is ter

United States, but not part of the United
States within the revenue clause OF the con
stitution.
. That the Foraker act IS constitutional
so far as Il imposes duties upon imports
from Porto Rico.
g. That the constitution is applicable 10
territories acquired by purchase or con-
quest only and so far as congress shaH so
direct
T. That power TO acquire territory by
treaty implies not only the power TO gov
ern such territory, but to prescribe upon
what terms the United States SHAH receive
its inhabitants and what their status shall
be.
s. That II Is doubtful II congress would
ever assent TO the annexation OF territory
upon the conditions that its inhabitants
however foreign they may be TO our hab-
its traditions and modes of life. shall be-
come citizens of the United States.
g. That the inhabitants OF the new pos
sessions, even If regarded as aliens are en-
titled under the principles OF the consti-
tuition 10 be protected in life, liberty and
property
:. That large powers are necessarily In
trusted to congress in dealing with these
problems and that abuse of these powers
would receive quick rebuke at the hands Of
the people.

TO THE SINS OF THE NATION
Rev. DR.. McCorkle Attributes the
Death OF the President

The death of President Mckinley and
the causes hat led to it were discuss
ed by Rev. William P. McCorkle yester-
day morning at the First Presbyterian
church. He drew his text from Judges
ii: IL, II, IA. And the children Of Irael
did evil in the sight Of the Lord, n
served Baalim:
"And they forsook the Lord God of
their fathers, which brought them out
of the land of Egypt, and followed 9TH
er gods, of the gods Of the people that
were found about them, and bowed
themselves unto them, and provoked
the Lord to anger.
And the anger Of the Lord was hot
against Isreal. and he delivered them
into the hands of the spoilers that
spoiled them, and he sold them into
the hands of their enemies round about
SO hat they could not IN longer stand
before their enemies"
Speaking of the lead president, Mr..
McCorkle said that he was a man Of
pure and elevated life. of good prin-
ciples, patriotic. honest, and above all
a Christian. He showed the conscien-
tious department of the Christian when
he was stricken, when he was under
the knife Of the surgeon, and above all
in his death. when, murmuring a hymn,
he sank to his rest.
Inc attack upon the president mo
his death, Rev. McCokle stated, vas a
public calamity. Then he took up the
question. Have we a nation invited
it by our sins?" This he discussed a.
some length. The sins of the day, he
said, are the worship Of wealth. the ex-
aftation of pleasure as the chief end OF
life, the increase Of immortality, as
shown in the statistics Of the divorce
courts; the decay Of home life, the
a,rc Of all inPrp9 cling lnhaliafG and
the rejection of God and His word.
Mr.. McCokle referred to the greed
Of corporate wealth." and to the mon
opolists as the spoilers into whose
hands the people had been delivered.
Anarchy, ne said. is the child of ty-
ranny and the spirit that prompted the
blow at the president is but a bubble
upon the stream Of discomfort that ex-
lists among the laboring class; q discon-
tent hat is the result of monopolies

q Mt Meals.

During the last generation it was very
rare to see any family begin a meal with
out grace, but the omission of this cere-
mony is becoming more common every
day in some sections.
1t seems that there is a like decline Of
the custom In England. An English
writer who has observed this tendency
for several years past and is much pain
ed by it declares that the abandonment
of grace before meals is "the most not
able change in private religious observ-
ance in London"
The Springfield Nass.) Republican
makes the surprising declaration that
Saying the blessing is still observed on
many public occasions, but that it is
comparatively seldom heard in New Eng
land families, even when they are de-
scended from Puritan forbears and have
inherited the whole body of Puritan ira
ditions."
The habit Of saying grace may have
fallen off to some extent in the south, but
it has not declined to anything like the
extent it has in either New England or
old England. 1t is still the rule in the
great majority Of southern households
and will continue so for a long time to
come-Atlanta Journal.

License Of Speech Caused the Nc
KinleF Tragedy

Richmond Lodge of Elks en~tertain-
ed AL. CT. Field after the minstrel per-
Torrance, but the entertainment was
not of the usual sparkle that makes the
Elks' evenings famous.
The shooting Of the president took
the fun out Of the evening, and when
Field arose to make his speech he said
that he did not have it in him to try
and make merry and that his old min-
strel jokes would ave TO be laid aside.
He spoke about the president as he
knew him when he was governor OF his
and how beloved by men Of both parties
in Ohio.
1T is a strange and terrible thing to
me-" a Mr.. Field, how such a trag-
edy could be committed. and I think I
say that u much boosted free speech
can be held responsible. We let any
body get UP in public places and say
anything. infame the minds OF men and
lead them into anarchy.
The last time I was in New York
1 heard one OF these agftators speaking
in Madison Square. He said enough
to have hung him, and he did enough
harm to the common interests TO have
a 4 criminal Of him..
This man who shot down our presf-
dent is probably OF this type Of people.
He has been. doubtless, allowed TO go
with a free rein and now as a result
we have the head Of the nation shot
down at his hands like a dog. Think
