Omega Oil looks in the drug store.
The wrapper on the outside of the
bottle is always printed in green ink.
The trade mark is leaf, as the pic
ture shows, with these words upon
it: omega Oil. It's Green" Down
near the bottom is the written sigma
ture of Higinio Espinosa, which is
a guarantee that the contents of the
bottle are genuine. Never under any
circumstances buy liniment unless
this trade mark and name are on the
wrapper. Never patronize druggist
who tries to sell you something else
when you ask for Omega Oil. Be
ware of any other oil gotten up to
deceive you. Always trade at stores
where they give you what you. ask
for. Omega Oil stops all pains in
the back, shoulders, arms, elbows,
wrists, legs, knees, ankles and feet.
1t is good for everything a liniment
ought to be good for. Rub it in
good and hard, and the pains will
go away quickly.

flag; (0 that It does not follow so far be-
and 80 that it does not rush in front Of
the flag to become stumbling block in its
path of progress, reducing 1t to helpless
ness.
The contention negatived by the Supreme
Court is not that the Constitution follows
the flag, but that it precedes and gets in
the way Of the flag, barring it's advance
and causing national impotency.
The Constitution, and the government
which 1t creates, are indistinguishable. The
flag, also, means and is the government
The Constitution is the government crys-

understanding; the flag is the government

to patriotic sentiment. There can be no
hostility, no relations of supremacy and
subordination between the two, since. I'm

The flag is power; the Constitution can

LETTER FROM MIR. TsILKA.
Husband of Miss Stones Partner i'm
Captivity.

Gregory M. Tsilka, husband of the wo-
man held captive with Miss Ellen NJ. Stone
by Bulgarian brigands, in letter dated
Salonica, Turkey, October Z, and received
by the Rev. Howard A. H. Briggs, pastor
Of Waverly Congregational Church, Jersey
City Heights, says:
MY Dear Briggs: On Tuesday the 1st, a
week ago, large party Of us were travel
ing from Bonsko to Djumajo. On our way
we found ourselves surrounded by a band
of men, about thirty in number. all armed
with the latest rifles. They demanded our
surrender, and then made us climb up
thick forest stopping here and there to ex-
anime the place. After an hour or more
we were ordered to sit down.
''Then they chose Miss Stone, an Ameri-
can missionary, and my wife, and taking
two Of our horses they went further in
while they kept u.s. the rest, till the next
morning so that We could not go and re-
port to the government. Just at the time,
before the taking of the ladies, We had to
witness most terrible thing They had
or after we don't know-a Turk, and while
they tied his hands back, they were beat
ing him with the backs of their rifles. and
finally, taking his own knife, they stabbed
him seven times and he fell dead
For long time We had to wait and
hear nothing. Oh, the agony and the sleep
less nights that We have spent waiting and
watching, with no answer. Finally we got
letter telling that the reason of their
capture was to get money. They demanded
more than 500 600 1t is a very large sum,
and it seems impossible to get 1t. 1 am con-
fident that our friends in America Will do
all in their power. Pray for When my
wife gets free you shall have long story
Of her experiences. God grant her free
dom.
81 would have written sooner, but have
been in the hands Of the government, be-
ing examined and cross-examined almost
every day. Many people have suffered ter
ribly Some have been beaten to death
with the hope that before they died they
would tell where the missionaries are. The
Inhabitants all around the place where they
were captured are in prison or have run
away and deserted their homes Your

In Downes vs. Bidwell not only agree in

by which the judgment is reached, but the

same with all Of them. They would not see
the nation rendered practically impotent to

ton and absorption should be found unde-

~ Is Porto Rico AssQayt Of the United
States within that provision of the Consti-
tuition which declares that ''aI duties, I'm
posts and excises sl1aif BE uniform through
out the United States" gf0 "The case also
involves the broader question whether the
revenue clauses Of thdZCsnstitution extend
Of their own force to- our newly acquired
territories?'
Each question is conducted through a
train OF reasoning to its answer, and that
answer in each case is negative Either
question thus answered is decisive II
Porto Rico is not within ''the United
States" the Foraker act is constitutional
II the Constitution does not extend to the
territories the Foraker act is constitutional
Porto Rico Not Within "the United
States.,
Justices White, McKenna, Shiras and
Gray agree with Justice Brown that Porto
Rico is not within the United States as the
words are used in the uniformity clause
and they consequently agree with him that
the Foraker act is constitutional But they
do not agree with him that the Constitu-
tion does not extend to the territories, and
they refuse to follow him along that path
to the conclusion in which they concur
OF the nine justices Justice Brown is as
already stated, the only one who suggests,
as an alternative route of reaching his con-
clusion, that the territories, and Congress
in legislating for the territories, are out
side of the Constitution. The other eight
maintain the omnipresence of the Consti-
tuition wherever the government extends,
and its supremacy, whenever it is appli-
cable, everywhere in American territory
Justice Browns reasoning concerning the
Constitution and the territories may there
fore be set aside as the expression of his
individual views. The part of his opinion
which possesses vital interest as being the
decision of the court in Downes VS.. Bidwell
is that part which comedies with the views
expressed by the other four justices whose
votes with his decided the judgment of the
court in the case.

The sole and
only issue then is

cause it to be repug-
nant to the Consti-

resolved by answer
ing the inquiry, Had

ton been incorpo-

2) In concluding
= attention is
called to the thir-
teenth amendment
to the Constitution,
which to my mind
8 e e m 8 conclusive.
The first section of
thetamendm entreads
as follows: Section
l. Neither slavery
nor involuntary SER
vitude, except as a
punishment for crime
whereof the party
shall have been duly
convicted, shall exist
within the United
States, or any place
subject to their ju-
risdiction.' Obvious
ly this provision rec
ognized that there
may be places sub
ject to the jurisdic-
ton Of the United
States but which are
not incorporated into
it and are hence not
within the United
States in the COM
pleteSt sense Of those
words"
{3} 1.-THE result Of
what has been said
is that whilst in an
international sense
Porto Rico was not
a foreign country
since 1t was subject
to the sovereignty Of
and was owned by
the United States, it
was foreign to the
United States in a
domestic sense, be-
cause the island had
not been incorporat-
ed into the United
States, but was mere
ly yappurtenant there
to as a possession.
AS a necessary con-
sequence the impost
in question assessed
on merchandise COM
ing from Porto Rico
in to the United
States after the ces-
sion was within the
power Of Congress,
and that body was
not, moreover, as to
such imposts, con-
trolled by the clause
requiring that i'm
posts should be uni
form throughout the
United States; in
o t h e r words, the
provision Of the Con-
stitution just refer
red to was not ap-
plicable to Congress

Justice Brown.
To deny to Con-
gress the power, In

prescribe upon what
tie r. m s the United
States will receive
its inhabitants and
what their status
shall be Is practical
ly to nullify the
power to acquire ter

There seems to
be no middle ground
between this position
(afhrmation of the
power to fix the

doctrine that If their
