The Constitution in the Philippines.

Manila July 1a-(C Correspondence Of the Associated
Press passage today by the Philippine commission OF
the act organizing OF the archipelago preceded
by two interesting incidents both of which brought out
thoritave statements President Taft The first in
wording of the oath of Office to be taken by
the judges Support OF the constitutional the United States
(Which all officials in the United States subscribe in their
oaths of office puposey omitted from this oath but
recognition the supreme authority OF the United States
included Judge de author of judiciary bills held that
swearing support the United States constitution when it
had already been decided that at least feature of that
instrument uniformity OF duties clause does not apply in
the Philippines would improper He considered that dis
cussion OF the meaning OF the constitution affecting pow
and duties of United States officials in the Philippines
would be Of service here these questions in
process OF settlement in the United States supreme
Replying a question by Senior Paterna CORNER secrc-
tay OF the Agunado cabinet whether since II
generally assumed that the constitution follows the
flag the oaths Of Office for the Philippines should in
clude support Of the constitution Judge Taft said
The oath support the laws Of the Philippine islands
validity of these laws depends upon the constitution Of
the United States is oath to laws enacted in
cordanoe with the constitution OF the United States There
has been much discussion OF the issue presented in this
FORM Does the constitution OF the United States follow
flag of the United States that thought best invite
discussion by changing the form of oath from that which had
originally been adopted by the military when the
commission came here
Personally think that statement OF the issue is ex-
ceedngy misleading Every person who comes these
islands accredited officer of the United States
derives his authority from officer who
appointed under the constitution of the United States There
fore it that say that the constitution has
operation in these islands TO something which logically
be sustained and the real question whether
the constitution extends to these islands but what
the constitution affect the government of them In other
words the real issue whether congress the president
acting under the constitution in asserting authority of the
United States restricted by certain limitations that con-
stuton which certainly applies the action presi-
dent and apply to the action OF in dealing with the
state.
Now the constitution contains clause which requires
duties imports to be uniform throughout the United
States The supreme court has in decision news
of which yesterday decided that that Of the
stuton does not apply to government created by
in Porto Rico and these islands The statement that the
constitution is in operation in these islands may thus mean
thing to person and another thing another Why
therefore introduce into oath of office form of state
ment which might lead to misconsrucon? Why not follow
the old form, which serves every purpose
