THEIR RIGHTS PROTECTED.

Commenting on the decision Of
the supreme court in the Porto
Rico cases, the Chicago Ameri-
can says: "'There is to b. no
empire under the American flag.
The supreme court has made that
perfectly clear. On the detail of
the right of congress to levy
duties on goods passing between
Porto Rico and the mainland of
the United States, the government
is sustained. But on tho founda-
tional question as to whether the
constitution follows the flag, the
decision is for the republic.
-Four of the five justices who
formed the majority believed that
the constitution followed the flag,
and only one out of nine members
Of the court held that Porto Rico
could be governed outside of the
constitution. "Porto Rico is an
American territory. Its flag is
the stars and stripes. The
American republic has not begun
to contract. "There are still some
important matters left to be clear
ed up. The court has not yet
decided the Philippine Gaze, no,
has it ruled directly on the ques,
ton of citizenship. When the
decision is clearly understood, il
ought to have an excellent effect
both in Porto Rico and in the
Philippines. The persistence o.
Philippine instruction has beer
largely due to the reluctance o.
the Filipinos to submit to arbitrary
government outside of the con
stisution. Henceforth the people
of the islands will feel that theil
rights are not dependent on thu
good will Of any man, but ar
under the protection of tn
supreme court of the United
States, acting as the guardian o
the constitution. The vision o
empire has passed. Hencefortl
we may differ about policies, bu
they will be constitutional policies
shaped in accordance with tn
principles Of republican govern
ment."

County School Notes.
By Supt. NJ G. Macdonald

Will Ireland, teacher in school No. 8
in Olga school district, has secured one
of the state travelling libraries.
Under the new examination law for
teachers certificates, the reading circle
work is practically made compulsory.
The state department has taken the
matter up and it is expected that all
teachers will enroll and do the work.
At present sixty-fve teachers in this
county have enrolled. This is a good
showing but not what it should be.
All who intend to remain in the work
should purchase the books and make o
thorough study OF them.
The annual school election will take
place Tuesday, June 18th. School Of

THE CROP SITUATION.

The recent rains over the entire
state of North Dakota have laid
the ghost of another drought
which was beginning to stalk
abroad. The northwestern states,
which had been somewhat sighted
in the recent distribution of
moisture, have been receiving q
thorough wetting down since the
beginning of June. The long
rains of last fall had thoroughly
soaked the ground so that the
wheat, up to this time, has not
suffered on account Of the scant
supply furnished so far this sea.
son. The wheat is out of danger
and all crops are above the nor
NAL. If the present conditions
continue for a month, there will
be assurance of the greatest farm
yield of products that the United
States has ever had. The effect of
this is obvious. Farm lands will
boom and immigration will pour
in from the old world. The north
west never had such systematic
advertising as it is enjoying now.
An abundant crop this year will
set the world wild with stories Of
North Dakota's wonderous re-
sources for farming. If Uncle
Sam could only keep his head and
stay at homo attending to his bust
ness, he would be a very happy
man.

SINCE the administration has
concluded to govern the Philip
pines by the military arm Of the
government, Emil Pepke North
Dakota volunteer, has given up all
hope of ever securing his fourteen
diamond rings won at poker and
which he struggled through the
customs. He is fearful also lest
he be deported to Guam by roa-

case now before the supreme

THEN AND NOW.

On the Fourth Of July, 1776,
little band Of American patriots
and lovers of liberty whose names
are now immortal in history,
assembled in conference at Phila-
delphia, signed the splendid Amer
lean utterance known as the
Declaration Of Independence, the
keynote of which is:
eve hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent, that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed bv their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. That, to secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their Just powers
from the consent OF the governed"
On the Fourth Of June, 1901, q
little band of Americans eonstitut-
ing the Cabinet of the President
of the United States, the govern
ment founded by the signers of the
Declaration Of independence,
assembled in conference in the
White House, the President Of the
United States presiding, and
definitely repudiated and denied
the truth of this keynote utteranee
of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. Thay decided that the
President should govern the
Philippines with the strong hand
of the military, in utter disregard
of any rights or wishes of the
people, with unjust powers of
government derived, not from the
consent of the governed, but from
the employment Of force intended
to overawe and subdue the govern
ed. The American people now
confront this ominous reputation
of the great basic truth upon which
the free government of the United
States is established. Just as
plainly as the signers Of the
Declaration declared this truth,
SO plainly did President Mckinley
and his Cabinet abandon it in their
action. There is no craft Of
specious pleading which can re-
concile the one action with the
other. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence forbids our government
of the Philippines save with the
consent of the governed, forbids
an American citizenship that is
not equal in all its rights before
the law, forbids the employment
OF armies as compelling factor in
the government of the peoples
subjected by force to our unwel-
come rule. The Cabinets action
sanctions these very things for
