I'VE have plenty of fun with one of the

says George Chenet, agent for Hopkins
Trans Oceanics, playing at Chase's this
week. You know, i'll every city" he con-
tinued, there are managers of theatrical
hotels who keep lab on ell the coming at
fractions and write ahead TO the perform
ers offering special inducements. Week
before last a batch of such communica-
lions came to the company from a we'll
known Baltimore hostelry. One was ad-
dressed to Mr.. Jasper, and it read:
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find rates,
or rather special rates, made to theatre
cal people that are playing on this cir
cult. Our hotel is located one block from
the theatre where you will play. All
rooms are outside rooms, well ventilated

In spite of the attractions offered at
the hospitable tavern Mr.. Jasper did not
apply for lodging there. OF course, when
the boniface saw on the bills the names of
Clayton, Jenkins, and Jasper he had no
means OF knowing that the last, but by no
means the least important member of the
trio, was a shaggy donkey whose twelve
years before the public have brought him
many grey hairs. Mr.. Jasper, much trav-
eled individual though he is, having
crossed the ocean twice and spent four
years in Europe, cares little as yet for
hot and cold water in every ROOM This
Is not the first time mistakes like this
have happened, but all the members of

currence just as much as ever. A mash

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

A few days ago an editorial item
appeared in the Ottumwa Courier re-
lating to the adulteration of honey in
which 1t was suggested that an artf-
fetal comb made of paraffine was used
to deceive the public. A representa-
tive of the honey trade or bee Gull
turist called on the Courier to refute
this statement which was made in good
faith and on apparently good author
ity, and later the Courier published a
statement from the agricultural de-
partment showing that those in highest
authority have no knowledge that ar
tificial comb is being used
In noticing that by a decisive vote
the Iowa mutual insurance men in an
nual convention at Des Motnes turned
down the idea of a valued policy law,
the Muscatine Journal declares, but
this does not prove that the effort to
secure such law will be abandoned
or that it's enactment would not be
wise and just"

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

The United States supreme court has
rendered decision in the case known
as the fourteen diamond ring case, in
volving the question of the right of the
goods coming into this country from
the Philippines. The decision in this
case follows closely that of the first
Porto Rican case decided last May. The
gist of the opinion in the first case, and
which controls the Philippine contest, is,
that territory acquired in war remains
foreign during military occupation, and
up to the date of the exchange of ratifi-
cations of the treaty of peace. During
that time tariffs may be levied upon inn
portations from such territory into the
United States After the exchange of
notifications of the treaty of peace, how
ever, it becomes domestic territory, and
its products must have free entrance
irto the United States until such time
az congress may determine its status
by legislation. 1t is thus held that con-
eress has the power to legislate for such
domestic territory on this subject.
In the second Dooley case. decided at
the same time. involving the question of
Il duty on goods shipped from the United
States into Porto Rico. it is held that
such duty is permissible, but chat 1t is
really tax for the benefit of Porto Ri
cans themselves rather than an export
duty, as was claimed by the merchants
who antagonized the government in the
case. To be more specific, this opinion
holds that as Porto Rico is not foreign
territory the goods shipped to Porto
ports or imports, the wide range of con-
:sressional action in the matter of taxa
ton is sufficient for a contingency of
this character.
In these various decisions of the for
lner and present term the supreme court
judges are not agreed upon the subject,
and it is difficult for layman to follow
all the points and deductions made by
them. In fact the ablest lawyers find
ii as difficult to solve as a Chinese puz-
zle
One point for which the T.-R. has con-
tended appears to be confirmed, and
that is the constitution does not follow
the flag by its own force, but that con-
gress must act in order to make its pro-
visions effective.

AN OBSTACLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The New York Sun recently pointed
nent OF the Philippines. One of these
was a lack of a judicially established
status as regards the tariff. This, how
ever, has just been removed by the de-
cision of the supreme court printed in
the Times-Republican yesterday. The
Sun states, however, that
The second and the greater obstacle
is found in the Spooner amendment, so
called 1t may be remembered that in
Its original form the Spooner resolution
gave a free hand to the executive until
such time as congress should legislate
concerning the Philippines. At the in
stance of Senator Hoar, statesman
conscientiously and consistently opposed
&c the retention of the islands by the
United States. a precision was added
which prohibited the granting of any
franchise in the Philippines for term
longer than one year after the estab-
lishment of a permanent civil govern
ment there.
In his admirably clear report on the
piSSStit SoilditicuS Tie 1nlllDDlNeS
Secretary Root points out the extent to
which this unfortunate provision oper-
ates as limitation of enterprise in the
islands. He shows that the law as it
stands practically gives a monopoly Of
business in many directions to foreign
ers as against Americans
Congress should promptly remove this
paralyzing restriction. With proper
safeguards, the way should be opened
at once to American enterprise and
capital. That much is due to the FLINT
nos themselves, for they are held back
in the road of progress toward prospey-
ity by the Hoar amendment to the
Spooner amendment
Attic that amendment was accepted
last February by the committee on the
Philippines, probably In order to secure
the passage of the indispensable main
provision. 1t was net conceived in
spirit of friendship to continued Ameri-
can sovereignty over the islands. 1t
was part of the so-called anti-imperial-
istic campaign. Congress can now af-
ford to eliminate it. listening meanwhile
respectfully to Senator Hoar's protest,
IL protest he does.
1t is probable that congress will now
lay aside the Hoar amendment, il 1t is
rot already negatived by the court de-
cision referred to in the opening para
graph.

The question the Geary law presents
is whether the interests of American
civilization lie in lowering or raising
the standard of wages in this country.
The European immigrant does not
lower it permanently. His descend

that could not be maintained on the

saves competence with which to re-
turn to his native land. Ten years of
