to the published statement that this
year Mississippi celebrated the Fourth
OF July-in a mild way-for the first
time since the breaking out of the war
AS a matter of fact the states of the
south never showed much regard for
Independence Day even before the war.
TOR some reason it never appealed to
the masses as a holiday. Christmas has
always been the time for merry making
in the south and it was then that the

If the south is beginning to celebrate

IRE CONSTITUTION BADLY BENT

The United States supreme court oI Monday handed down its decisions II Philippine and Porto Rico tariff cases and on the main point at issue, "whethei or not the Constitution follows the flag, the contention of the government is upheld The decision practically de clares that ours Is an imperial govern. ment with powers to acquire foreign territories, establish colonial govern, ments, and levy export duties upon the products of our insular possessions brought to the United States.
 The most important decision Is un. satisfactory for the reason that Ii was rendered by the bare majority of one, and the conclusion having been reached by three of the justices by different lines of argument from that of Justice Brown, who delivered the opinion. Chief Justice Fuller, and Justices liar. Ian, Brewer. and Peekham united Ill the dissenting opinion, criticising ID strong language the opinlon of the ma. jority
 Chief Justice Fuller, who delivered the minority opinion, contends that the source of national power in this country is the Constitution of the United States, and the government as to our internal affairs possesses no in. herent sources or foreign powers not derived from that instrument, and in- consistent with its letter and spirit. The chief justice absolutely rejects the contention that the rule of uniformity was not applicable to Porto Rico, be- cause it has not been incorporated into this or become an internal part of the United States. The word incorpora- ton had no occult meaning, and what ever its situation before, the Foraker act made Porto Rico an organized ter ritory of the United States. He could not accept the view that even, after or ganized, "congress has the power to keep it. like a disembodied shade, in an intermediate state of ambiguous eX- istence for an indefinite period
 The eoncurring opinion of the ma iofity recognized that "congress, in dealing with people of new territories or possessions, Is bound to respect the fundamental guarantees of life, liberty and property, but assumes that con gress is not bound in those territories or possessions to follow the rules of taxation prescribed by the Constitution. And yet, says the chief justice, the power to tax involves the power to de- stroy, and the levy of duties touches all our people in all places under the jurisdiction of the government. The logical result is that congress may pro hibit commerce altogether between the states and territories, and may prescribe one rule of taxation in one territory and different rule in another"

Newspapers and railroads are the great ciyilizers of the country and the more we have of them the sooner the country will get on a prosperous basis. In this country the lack of rapid transportation has been the great drawback, especially coupled with the lack of knowledge the outside world possesses of our great resources. Aid the newspapers to disseminate through the great centers of capital in the east the knowledge of the vast latent re- sources of this magnificent country and it will be but short time till cap. ital seeks investment here. Now is the time to call the attention of capital this way. We have the mines. the grandest opportunity for electrical generation, and the most wonderful agricultural possibilities in this terri tory. When the experienced man canvasses the situation he will find that nothing that can be said of this wonderful country is an exaggeration. -Mohave County Miner.
