Such a construction of that instru-
ment would have been a libel on
George Washington, and his illustrious
associates who framed it. To hold that
it so restricted our power would be to
deny us an essential attribute of sover-
eighty, and make us inferior in the
family of nations. 1t would have
made us incapable of protecting our
rapidly increasing commercial inter
ests in distant parts of the earth. 1t
would have been not only the end of
expansion. but also a denial of the
power necessary to the control of the
Caribbean Sea. and the approaches and
natural defenses Of an Isthmian Canal.
1t would have been worse than a mis-
take. 1t would have been stupid
crime against the progress and devel
opment of oar country.
We rejected all such bellttling and
un-Amelican views and proceeded on
the power of the most powerful; that
we are rightfully at the head of the
nations in sovereign power as we are
in physical and political power; that
our constitution is the constitution of
the United States of America, but not
J the constitution also, until Congress so
provides. of the territories and posses
slons belonging thereto, no matter
where situated or how inhabited.
I We think the constitution means what
it says when it provides that the Con-
gress shall make all needful rules and
reguls ton respecting territory or 9TH
er property belonging to the United
States.
When we read in the constitution
| about the United States, and then also
about territory tE2t simply belongs
to the United States, we think it clear
that our fathers contemplated that ter
ritory might come under our jurisdic-
tion and into our possession without
becoming a part of the United States,
and that territory that simply "be-
! longs to us is to be governed under
the clause referred to, as Congress may
prescribe. and that it is the duty of
! Congress is so governing to meet the
necessities of the inhabitants of such
territory, and promote their welfare.
1t was for this reason that in legis-
lating for Porto Rico we provided that
our internal revenue laws should not
! be applied there, and that all tariff dut.
! les that might be collected should be
paid into the Treasury of Porto Rico
for the support of it's government, in
stead of being paid into the National
! Treasury as has been done in every in
| stance heretofore. All we have done
! in Porto Rico has been authorized by
the constitution and has been done moi
to oppress the people of that island
but to generously and magnanimously
relieve them from burdens they were
unable to bear, and thus aid and en-
courage them in an effort to establish
industries, develop agriculture, make
needful public improvements, inaugu
rate systems of education, and lead on
by gradual and safe approaches, to or
der, prosperity and the assimilation O.
ideas and American institutions.
AS result they have more prosper
ity, more contentment, more happiness
more schools, and more promise fol

PORTO RICO.

YIN ~ IlNTO.
When we came to legislate for Porto
Rico we found there million people,
more than five hundred thusand of
whom did not own one dollars worth
of any kind of property, and more than
eight hundred of whom could not eth
er read or write in any language None
of them knew anything about our in
stitutions, our laws our judicial system
or anything else connected with the
practical administration of free popu-
lar government
They had no system of property tax
alton, no school system, and scarcely
any kind of social order or organiza-
tion. They had been wasted by war,
and devastated by hurricane. They
We're helpless as children. From the
first moment of our occupatin it was
necessary to feed and support them by
tens of thousands to prevent starVa-
tion.
If the constitution and all the laws
of the United States, not locally inap
plicable, had followed the flag and gone
was raised, as the Democratic party
contended, it would have been impos-
sible to have relieved their distress, or
to have established a successful gov
ernment of any kind. Instead of
peace, order and progress which we
have in that island today, we would
have had universal chaos and uniyer-
sal failure.
Such a theory would have required
all tariff duties on imports into Porto
Rico from foreign countries to be col
lected and paid into the Treasury of
the United States at Washington, not
for the benefit of the people of that is
and, but for the common benefit of the
whole United States.
1t would have required the imposi-
tion of heavy internal revenue tax
es without ability on their part to pay
or on our part to collect
1t would hayerequired thAimmedate
substitution of our laws for theirs, and
their faithful observance of the same
before they had opportunity to know
or to learn what they were.
1t would have required the immedi'
ate Introduction of our codes of pro
cedure in civil and criminal cases with
out even the judges on the bench, oi
the lawyers at the bar, knowing how
to put them in operation.
To have adopted such a construction
of our constitution would have made
the Filipinos and the Porto Ricans
most of whom are wholly unfit to gov
ern themselves, citizens of the United
States, with full power to participate
with all other citizens in governing us
There is no end to the difficulties ant
the absurd consequence that would
have ensued.

Locusts Eat Their Corn.

work as follows.
The work in general is moving on
nicely. The services are well at.

busy time Of the year, and then made
more SO on account Of the presence oil
the locusts which have now been here
for about two months. Most Of the
first planting has been eaten by them.
Much anxiety exists among the ma
tives because the locusts are exceed
ingly plentiful. We are told that
they are everywhere this year and the
kaffir corn (the principal food Of the
people, has been destroyed. Thepeo
pie say they will die this year, some
being scant in food already.
"The five acres Of corn that was
planted here at the mission has been
destroyed. This is surely land Of
pests"

Brakeman Abe Collins Hurt.

While engaged in coupling cars at
Salina Sunday morning, Brakeman
Abe Collins Of the U. P. met with
quite a serious accident. His foot
was caught between the couplings
and mashed so that he will lose at
least one toe. 1t was at first thought
that he would lose his foot. He was
taken to the company's hospital at
Kansas City and is doing well. Abe
is an old Abilene boy, being son Of
the late W. E. Collins, and attended
school here several years. His friends
will be glad that the injury is nc
worse.

susprND1Se PUPILS.
Hazing at Atchison County High
School Punished.

An Eiingham teacher writes an
Atchison paper as follows: Gilbert
Hubbard said in his lecture in Atchi.
son recently that when school teach
er suspended boy, it was tacit
acknowledgment that the boy was
bigger than the teacher, and he went
on to deprecated system that threw
boy on the streets in idleness be-
cause he had violated some school
rules. The teachers at the county
high school made this mistake when
they suspended the five boys impli-
Gated in the hazing. They have been
thrown upon the streets for two
months, the board then to take action
upon their cases, and decide II they
may be readmitted. Friends Of the
boys say that they cut bunch Of
hair off new boys head, leaving a
spot no larger than half dollar.
Then they rubbed red ink on the spot,
and let the boy 60. Whatever their
offense, there is good deal to think
about in the result: five boys thrown
out Of school to spend two months in
idleness, who will lose year in their
classes. Are they bigger than the
teacher" We do not agree with the
correspondent. The 95 we'll behaved

who are incorrigible. We believe in
