THE ISLAND TERRITORIES.

There are many newspapers and
great many people who do not under
stand the position in which our island
possessions are left by the recent decis-
ion of the supreme court. For the
benefit of our own readers we shall
endeavor to make clear the leading
points in the decision.
The ccnrt decides that territory can
not be at the same time both foreign
and domestic and regards the adoption
of the treaty by which the islands were
ceded to us as establishing our title, and
they are consequently American terri
tory. But the court fur Their decides
that at the present time the islands are
American territories under the control
of the congress of the United States and
not under the constitution The con-
gress of the United States may establish
in those islands territorial government
or even state government and bring
them under protection of the constitu-
ton. the same as Arizona or Wisconsin.
In the meantime the islanders have no
other guarantee of their personal rights
and liberties than that which may be
afforded them by congress and the rresi-
dent. However, they are not likely to
suffer on account of this, and if congress
and the administration should establish
there and maintain harsh, unjust, OPP
pressive or corrupt government that
high sense of justice possessed by the
American people would quickly over
throw it at the polls.
Public opinion is likely to demand the
establishment, as quickly as possible, Of
dependent self government in both the
Philippines and Porto Rico. Wonewoc
