one plank opposes the indlscrlminata
destruction OF forests. The plank on
the liquor issue adopted, which was
opposed by the out-and-out frohlbl'
tionlsts, Is as follows:
I'VE recognize the unsatisfactory
municipal conditions in many parts Of
the state relating to the enforcement Of
the prohibtory law. We believe that
the best interests OF our citizens de-
mand essential changes in the law. but
the details of such changes should be-
fully discussed and carefully c,n'
sidercd by the representatives of the
people to be elected next November,
with that end in view.
1--WE therefore recommend that at the
next session of the legislature in Janu-
ary, 1903, all questions relating to
liquor legislation be re-eXamined and
that such laws be enacted as will more
effectually promote temperance
decision on these two points was AMI
nounced after the adjournment Of the
convention.

Dubuque, Ia, sept. lS.-lhe lolloW-

by Speaker Henderson from the prtsi-

Am in receipt Of telegram signed by
you saying that you have this day de-

tion of this kind by you. The Rrpubli-
can party that you have served so long

Replying to these telegrams the

adhpring to his position. lie gave
positive assurance that there was o
danger to the third district; that Gov
ernor Boise is very weak candidates;
that the Republican candidate will be
elected; that he will do what he can 10

of tariff and the trusts. Whatever nay
be the final outcome of Speaker lIender-
sons sensational withdrawal and of
that Washington predictions are still
mysteriouSly in the dark-evrrybody
agrees that he has struck his party a
most damaging blow at critical mo-
ment.
He has emphasized the differences of
opinion that undoubtedly exist in tha
west as to the tariff and has advertised
them before the country. He has eX-
aggcrated the cleavage which was be-
ginning to appear, and made 1t con-
spicuOus. to the delight of the Demo-
Gratis and the cOnsternat;Jn of his party
associates. whether they happen to
take his view or that of the Iowa plat
form in its opposition to the cortinu-
ance of tariff rates which "afford Il
shelter to monopoly" He has made
the contest for congress moie Citii-
cult for every man in Il close district

Such a step Is especially surprising
when made by man whaS" lifelong
capital has been partisan loyalty. "The
Republican party, right or wrong as
in effect been his exclamation nj every
issue raised in the 20 years of his :on-
gressional service. He changed from
opposition to Cuban reciprocity to
vigorous advocacy at the behest of his
party. He was especially vigorous in
dcnouncing those of his associates W ho
were not willing to reverse their atti-
tude on the plain duty to Porto Rico
proposal when such reversal had be-
come the party program. That a man
who has so steadfastly preached party
loyalty should strike so recklessly in
the face of Republican prospects has
created anything but good feelings
among his associates.

is interesting to remember in this con-
nection that whenever case has come
to the Federal Court, the Government
authorities have allowed the immigrant
to land, through an order on the Ellis
Island officers, rather than let the case
come to decision. Frederic r. Coud-
ert, jr. who has already been concerned
in the insular cases, today expressed
his views on the status of Porto Ricans
as follows;
"The question as to the political sta,
tus of Porto Ricans is of course, rem
dered acute by the recent Treasury
ruling to the effect that Porto Ricans
shall be admitted to this country as
aliens. and under the same disabilities
as aliens, that is, subject to the payment
Of head money and to the immigration
laws generally. The direct question
whether Porto Ricans is to-day a citi-
zen of the United States if left absolu-
tely undetermined by the so-called in
sular cases, all will remain unsettled
until the Supreme Court of the United
States has in proper case passed direct
ly upon it.
1T has perhaps escaped attention
that there is difference between the
Porto Rican born before the Treaty of
Paris and the Porto Rican born after
wards. The Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
provides that all persons born within
the United States and subject to their
Jurisdiction are citizens thereof. Under
this amendment it might plausibly be
held that the 'post natl or those born
after the treaty. are by virtue of the
amendment citizens of the United Sta
ties, while those who were in existence
prior to the treaty were not citizens
"As this treaty expressly leaves the
political status of the latter to Congress
it may we'll urged that the inference
of naturalization to be drawn from
mere annexation is thereby rebutted,
and that Porto Ricans are thus merely
proteges or wards of the nation, as
were the Indian tribes and the free
negroes before the Thirteenth Amend
ment. Speaking broadly, however, it
would seem that the question is one
rather of general political science than
of strict law.
"What does the term citizenship"
imply ? In its broad sense it sinp-
ly means subsection and allegiance on
the part of an individual to certain
government or state, and protection on
the part of that government to the per-
son in question. In this meaning it is
equivalent to the term "subjection"
used in the English common law, be-
cause both citizenship in broad sense
and subjection involve the same re-
