SUPREME COURT DECIDES
In Regard to Our New Possessions That the
Constitution Follows the Flag.

constitution FOLLOWS the Flag.
Washington, May Elm the decis-
ion in the insular cases Justice Brown
said that, whether the sugar imported
from or into Porto Rico was dutiable
depends upon whether Porto Rico is
foreign country. Heheld that the right
to acquire territory involves the right
to govern and control it by congress,
but he said that country could not be
both foreign and domestic.
The opinion was opposed to the con-
tention of the government. He conclu-
ded that at the time the duties were
collected Porto Rico was not q foreign
country, but territory of the United
States.
Justice Brown concluded as follows:
IF an act OF congress be necessary
to convert foreign country into do
nestle territory, the question at once
suggests itself. what is the character of
the legislation demanded for this pur-
pose Will an act appropriating money
for Its purchase be sufficient Appar-
emily not. Will an act appropriating
the duties collected upon imports to
and from such country for the benefit
of its government be sufficient? Ap-
parently not. Will acts making appro-
priations for its postal service, for the
establishment OF lighthouses, for the
maintenance Of quarantine stations, for
erecting public buildings, have that ef-
feet? Will an act establishing a com
plete local government, but with the
reservation OF right to collect duties
upon commerce, be adequate for that
purpose? None of these, or all to.
gether, will be sufficient, if the conten.
ton OF the government be sound, since
acts embracing all these provisions
1 have been passed in connection with
Porto Rico. and it is insisted that il is
still foreign country within the mean
ing of the tariff laws.
"We are unable to acquiesce in this
assumption that territory may be al
the same time both foreign and domes
tic. We are therefore of opinion tina
at the time these duties were Levied
Porto Rico was not foreign country
within the meaning of the tariff laws
but territory of the United States
that the duties were illegally exacteC
and that the plaintiffs are entitled t,
recover them back.
Judgment of the circuit court TO
the southern district of New York j
therefore reversed, and the case re
manded to that court for further pro
ceedings in consonance with this opin
!, ion"

There was once merchant in Bolivar
who nailed boards on trees and fences
with his advertisement on them. He
said newspaper Advising was to ex-
pensive so he tried the board plan.
The same merchant left the town in
disgust, saying Advising did not pay.
