SOLICITOR GENERALS
VIEW OF THE DECISIONS

Washington. May .,.-Soiici,or Gen.
crai Richards OF the department Of
justice. who Ind charge OF the insuinr
eases before the Supreme Court. to.
night madc the foliowin. statement
cpntninins hi. Interpretation OF the dc.
cisions Of the court today:
The important question Involved In
these eases was whether the cr.sion Of
territory contained In the trca,y Of
Paris made Porto Rico and the Philip
pines an integral part OF the United
States within the meaning OF that pro.
vision Of the constitution requiring NIL
duties. imposis aud excuses to bc uni.
form throughout the United States.
The court held that the c,-s>ion simply
made Porto Rico aud the Philippines
domestic territory OF the rniicd States,
subject to the full control Of Congress,
which control could b. exercised with.
out reference 10 those limitations. Thl.
limitation. the court held. wa. intend.
cd to apply to the state. OF the Union,
and does not apply TO acquired terri.
tory unlss. by treaty and by subsc.
pucnt act OF Congress IL IL incprpor.
atci within and becomes an integral
part OF the United States.
The decisions are substantially n
victory for the government. They sus.
tain TO the fullest extent the so-callc,i
instilnr policy Of the administration.
The government now has the sanction
OF the supreme Court for governing
these islands ms their needs and our
Interests may require. The cour; holds
that the constitution did not OF its own
force mt once apply TO those cc,ic,i ter.
ritorics. placing their people. their
products and their ports ON an immc-
diaic equality with ours and confer.
ring upon them nll the rights, privi.
lcgcs and immunitics enjoyed by the
people. products and ports OF the sew.
cral states.
while their fundamental rights arc
preserved by those underlying princi.
pies OF the constitution which apply
everywhere. the status OF their cI,j.
zcns aud the nature OF the customs
aud commercial regulations arc TO he
determined by Congress and the cxcr.
else of the power vested 10y the consti.
tuition In Congress to make all nccdfuI
rules aud regulations respecting terri.
tory belonging To the United States.
obviously what have said regarding
Porto Rico applies equally well to the
Philippines. SO that the President Is
perfectly free under the Spouner act 10

Lincoln. Ncb., May os.-w. !. Bryan
gave out yesterday n statement ON the
designations OF Senators McIaurin
and 1illmnn. which. he says. he re-
CARDS as the political event of last
week. Mr.. Bryan says:
ut Is an honorable course for the
senators TO pursue. and beneficial TO
the state. At present South Carolina
virtually has no voice in the settle
mcnt of public questions. as the vote
of one senator Kills the vote OF the
other. Senator 1illmnn has just been
reelected. and thus risks the loss Of n
longer term. but Senator McI.aurin
really sacrifices more, because he has
less chance To win the primary"
MIR. Bryan added that IL wns hardly
necessary To. say that he hoped and
expected to see Senator Tillman win
n sweeping victory. because he rep
resents the man. while McI.aurin rep.
resents the dollar. The vote will show
whether the plutocraiic idea is making
nny headway in the South"

Congress committee, the Hon. Joseph
Weeks Babcock OF Wisconsin, who last
autumn introduced into the House Of
Representatives tariif-revislns bill.
So far, the Democrats seem to look
upon this scheme In uncertainty as to
whether 1t is the rising or setting sun.
Ambition for q tariff campaign has
been too far paralyzed to be suddenly
restored to full strength and confidence.
But the President, in bis trip South,
has been speaking OF our national
growth, our greater productivity and
our larger market and the need OF
keeping the second commensurate witG
the first, and the mention Of a foreign
market by the author OF the Mciiin-
ley bill sets the nerves OF free trade
theorists tingiing.
So far as Mr. Babcock Is concerned.
n not improbable fate for him is TO re-
ceive sound party spanking for the
irresponsible revivification OF an issue
always disturbing to the commercial
mind, regardless OF Its disadvantage or
advantage to the Republican party In
particular. Practically. the country
that CLOVIS with industrial activity and
rcjoiccs In prosperity. as does our own.
can hardly he expected now TO under
take n tariff revision which. only n
few years ago. was the characteristic
stamp of one OF our most forlorn COM
mercIal periods. No man can foreteil
where revision would stop. or whether
the party starting Il or the opposition
would guide II to the end. Even NJ

In any even, the Presidents speeches
express iitiinrly the liberal splri, with
which the country. through Its admin.

afford for certain group OF the ad'

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
UPHOLD COLONIAL TARIFFS

Majorlty-Brown. shiras. White.
Gray, McKenna-5. Minority-Fuller.
Harlan, Brewer, Peckham-4.
The De Lima case presented little
more than IN academic question. 1t
related to the right OF the United
States to collect duties on imports
from Porto Rico during the time be-
tween the signing OF the treaty OF
peace with Spain and the day when
Congress passed the Foraker act. The
court held thar duties could not be col
lected during that time. The duties
which were collected must be refund
ed. This decision was nominal de.
feat for the claims OF the administr1i-
ton.
In the Downcs decision. however,
the administration won sweeping VIC
tory. That decision holds that since
Congress acted ard ordered duties to
be collected II Is proper TO collect
them-in other words. that power TO
determine the status OF Porto Rico
and other similar acquisitions Is re-
posed In Congress.
The views OF Justices Fuller. Harlan.
