The supre ne court has not decided
that thu Porto RicanS are citizens Of
this country, but it has decided that
they are not aliens. and that is some
thing pretty close TO il. Since Porto
Rico came under American control in
1898, the residents of the island, who
did not choose to remain Spanish
subjects, have been really men and
women without Il country. They We're
citizens Of Porto Rico" to be sure,
but that did not carry American citi-
zcnshir with it. Our immigration
authorities have treated them as
alters, but the United States supreme
court has now decided that they are
not aliens, and are not to be treated
as such.
This decision does not directly give
them American citizenship. but it does
do il by inference. and will go far to
wards doing so in effect. If they are
not treated as aliens. they are in fact
to be treated as American citizens.
And why shouldn't they be? The
| island is getting well Americanized;
| tho people are attached TO the princi-
pies of our constitution, and are il
all respects inclined to good order ana
progress. They are so few i'll number
| that if they ever come here in body
their immigration would give Us no
trouble. Their case. Of course. differs,
! in many ways. from that of the
| Filipinos; ana the question is nov
raised as t. whether this decision,
which particularly concerns the Porto
Ricaus. also includes the status OF
the Filipincs.
| There should be no unnecessary
ambiguity in the matter. If legis-
lation is necessary, Congress, which
has full power over our dependencies
and all their relations, should take
prompt action to define the status oi
our colonial citizens and regulate the,
immigration.

naturalization is becoming almost 4
part and parcel Of our system OF

it needs checking. almost as badly as

the right OF any foreigner applying for

Our Profit from an Eastern War.

troubles and the loss OF others. but l.
is impossible to escape the conclusion.
cold-blooded though it may seem, that
the war between Japan and Russia,
which has so long been promised and
seems as last close al hand. would
benefit the material interests Of this
cC1,ntr-. AS far as our business in
dustr:es go, just as a matter of dollars
and cents, there is TO doubt that .
great conflict in the East would give
an immense stimulus to our national
prosperity. 1t is always true that
when two great nations engage in war,
the third great nation which is their
rival in matters Of industry and com
merce, profits at their expense.
In the present case our direct trade
with Nanchuria would be temporarily:
checked, but the small loss which thi
would occasion would be made w
many times over by the sale of our
products to both combatants. And ii
France and England should becon"
involved in the war. it would newt
ably give this country the larger part
Of the OCEAN carrying trade. which il
possessed before the Civil War, and
which We have watched other cOun-
tries absorb without making any effort
to regain 1t.
But already, in anticipation OF COM
ing troublc, the Russian government
within the past few weeks has entered
into immense contracts for canned
meats in Chicago, Kansas City and
Omaha and the japanese government.
has placed great orders for supplies i'll
the northwest. If war comes the
waStefuncss which always accom-
panies such contest. would cause
both these nations to call upon neutral
Am, RIGA for large and larger food

dcln1nd in the cereal and meat pro-
ducts Of the West is easy to under
st1EI. Thsrc will also be need for our
iron and steel. since both nations
would have a lot Of railroad building

Russia and Japan, the demand TO.
American products by both countrie;
will be largely increased: and if
France and England should by any
