We wonder il the editor Of the

an account Of the proceedings OF
the recent democratic state con-

ALITTLE SERMON.

COURTESY PAYS THE COURTEOUS.
Court esy has financial value as wei
as being desirable for other reasons. The
customer who is courteous to the clerk
who waits on her, is better served than
the one who has an overbearing and
naughty manner. The life of a clerk Is
often difficult enough, and it is cruelty
TO add to it by discourteous manner.
The life of one dear Milwaukee girl was
made happier for weeks by the courtesy
of a customer who had been waited on
frequently by her through the rush OF
the holiday season, and who, after the
rush was over. came in the tore and
thanked her for the pleasant and patient
way in which the girl had tried to please
heI when making her purchases. The
clerk has often quite as much of sensl-
tiveness and refinement Of feeling as the
cust toner This girl had bravely taken
up work in order to maintain herself
and aid her widowed mother Circum-
stances might have at any time
reversed their positions. One should
think how she, herself, would like to be
treated under like circumstances. Clerks
are paid for their services, but that does
not make less the debt of courtesy owed
to them. When an appreciative word
will do it why not make the lives of
many of these worthy girls happier?
The clerk who treats all customers,
even disagreeable ones, with courtesy
is the one who keeps her position when
others are discharged. She is the one
who is first in line for advance. She is
the first, if out of work, to find a good
position The girl who answers ques-
tions in a brusque way, and has indif-
ferent manners, stands in her own light
This is also true of the girl who chews
gum and uses slang when waiting on
customer The girl who invariably
practices politeness, will find it will pay
her in more ways than one. 1t will
smooth many place otherwise rough
to get over The woman who is ever
courteous to those serving her will lind
herself treated with the same considera-
ton and viii win good will, in addition
to the paid service. Every woman will
find her self-respect increased and with
it the respect of others, by being cour-
teous at all times and to all persons from
the greatest to the humblest. -Milwau-
kee Journal.

LIKE OTHER TERRITORIES.
STATUS OF THE ISLAND POSSESSIONS Or
THE UNITED STATES.
Supreme Court Holds that Porto Rico and the Philip
pines Became Territories Of the United States on
the Ratification Of the Treaty Of Peace.

Washington, May 27--The supreme
court of the United States today handed
down decisions upon the several suits,
known Topularly as the insular cases.
In broad terms the effect of the courts
decision is first that by the mere act of
cession of territory in a treaty of peace,
and it's acceptance by the re.affirmation
of the treaty and the PRONUNCIATION of its
terms, territory does no. become an in
tegral part Of the United States but
does lose its distinctive quality as foreign
territory within the view of the tariff
laws.
The congress- in legislating for such
acquired territory is not restricted by
the limitation of the clause of the coz
stitution requiring that duties imports
and excuses shall be uniform throughout
the United States,
GOVERNMENT Is SUSTAINED.
The main contention of Attorney Gen
eral Griggs and Solicitor General Rich
ards, who argued the cases for the gov
eminent, that the constitution did not,
eE proprio vigore, extend itself over
newly acquired territory is sustained
In the language Of one of the justices of
the court. the decision declares Porto
Rico to be on ga exact equality with
Hawaii New Mexico, Arizona and
ALASKA.
In the De Lima case, the first one de-
cided, it was held that between the date
of the re-affirmation of treaty ceding
territory to the United States and the
date upon which congress legislated re-
speeding the revenue and customs laws
to be enforced over that territory, the
existing tariff laws obtained and as the
territory was not foreign within the
meaning Of the tariff law, no duties on
commerce between ports of the new ter
ritory and any port of the United States
could legally be assessed and collected.
When congress acted. however, it was
free to do SO without considering the
uniformity clause of the constitution,
therefore the Foraker act, IMPOSING Il
duty of Is per cent. of the rates of the
Dingley tariff law upon importations
from foreign countries upon commerce
between Porto Rico and. the United
States was within the constitutional
power of congress,
BECOME TERRITORIES.
Porto Rico and the Philippines are ter
ritories of the United States, becoming
so on the ratification of the treaty of
peace by which they were coded to this
government.
This is in brief the opinion of the Unit
ed States supreme court. There Were
tHo majority opinions and number Of
dissenting opinions to each. Justice
Brown spoke for the majority in both
cases In the first declaring these islands
become domestic territori against
| which there could be no tariffs. Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan,
Brewer and reckham agreed with Jrs-
tice Brown while Justices MeKenna,
| White, Shiras and Gray dlssented.
