Much to the appointment OF the -oun-
try the Supreme Court today failed to
hand down its decision in the Porto
Rico cases. and it looks now as if the
question of the Constitution and the flag
would go over until after the death of the
Fifty-sixth Congress. That would be very
bad for obvious reasons. Il might. in one
event, lead to the denial Of constitutional
government to Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines until next winter. The Supreme
Court always takes its time. In the pres
ent instance. its leisure appears 10 be on
all-fours with the desire of the Admins
tration to escape decision OF the colonial
cases until after Congress has gone home.

with great regularity and enthusiasm
Without giving or pretending TO give the
least service fer the money, has been we'll
known ever since the present Admins
tration came into power. It is time for
the practice TO be aired-and also aboI-
