Cannot Impose Duties.


"The President of the United States
IS an executive officer only. His lmpo-
sition by executive orders Of customs
duties on commerce between the Island
of Porto Rico and other parts Of the
United States, after the treaty of peace
and the exchange of ratitications, is
unauthorized and void. A government
without limitations was never intended
by the founders of the nation. They
sought to establish and did establish
a constitutional republic which fur
nishes written guarantee OF protec-
ton to all of it's inhabitants. The idea
that in one part republican govern
ment exists and in another part an
unlimited despotsm is repugnant to the
theory upon which the government was
founded
In the brief in the Downes case the
attorney asks:
IF the Paris treaty did not make
Porto Rico a part Of the United States

Replying to his own question, Mr..
Coudert says:
"The Congress of the United States
is not invested by the constitution, and
cannot, therefore, be invested by treaty
with the power to legislate for a for
eign country
Suggests Constitution l Amendment.
Mr. Coudert also suggests the posi-
bility of an amendment to the coEstitu-
tion, saying:
IF the people of the United States
deem it expedient that the additional
powers exercised by their temporary
agents should be approved and should
be continued to kheir successors, the
people can so ord,~n. A constitutional
amendment, if demanded by the people,
can be presented in Congress and rati-
fled by the legislature in less time than
it will take this court to unravel and
determine the momentous questions in
volved in this case. If revolution in
our method of government and in the
principles for which this government
stands is to be made, it should be made
by the power which is at the base Of
all government-the people-for whose
benefit the government is made. 1t
certainly should not be done by a

VIII No Longer Figure In English
Sporting Circles.
LONDON, Sept. 24-The announced
retirement of William Q. Whitney from
the English turf occasions regret, but
hardly surprises those who have notGzs
the recent trend of events. There is q
widespread feeling that behind Mr..
Whitney's published reasons for his
withdrawal is the realization OF the fact
that the attitude of the British turf au.
thorities towards Americans is no longer
marked by the absolute impartialiSy
which characterized their conduct prior
to the pre- eminence of American own
ers, horses, trainers and jockeys.
During the recent season complaints
have been frequent that the American
horses were too heavily handicapped;
that the jockeys were harshly treated,
and that interferences during the race
were whitewashed, which would not
have been tolerated on the part OF
American jockeys. 1t will cause NO
surprise If other Americans of Mr..
Whitney's class follow his example,
which, it is noted, came so closely after
the receipt of a detailed report of the
treatment accorded to Volodyovski in
the St. Leger.
The Daily Telegraph remarks that
Mr. Whitney decision must have been
reached very suddenly, seeing that only
on Sept H. Mr.. Whitney nominated
yearlings for the races of 1904 and 1908.
The Telegraph adds!
"Some American owners have not
made themselves acceptable to this coun-
try, but Mr.. Whitney is one of the ex-
ceptions that go to prove the rule.
The Sportsman says:
His retirenent will be recsixes6 u r-V with
regret by all British sportsmen.
Mr.. Whitney's action appears to have
taken Higgins, his trainer, by surprise.
