American citizens are worrying over the mat
ter There rlay be room for differences of opin-
ion as to constitutional Interpretation and the
application of laws TO our outlying territories,
as, indeed, has been shown in Justice Brewers
dissent from the views of the majority of his
colleagues. But there really does not seem to
be adequate ground for doubling that the Con-
stiturion makers and their closest colleagues
and immediate successors meant, in the first
quarter OF the last century, TO vest in this gov
ernment full power TO acquire such new terri
tOrial possessions as it pleased. and TO hold and
10 govern them according to it's own will

American control Of corporations In general, so
is French control OF churches to American con-
troll OF churches
1t must be believed, in spite OF this somewhat
uncompromising papal encycllcal and the SINH
lar tone of the letter OF the American hierarchy,
that IN time this fact will be generally recog-
nized and accepted, to the direct profit or the
Roman Catholic Church and to the ameliora-
ton Of its relations with the French and other
governments-even with that Of Italy. The fact
that concurrently with this action by the French
government which is powerfully supported
by the French people, Spain itself, the supreme
stronghold of Catholic devotion. has taken a
scarcely less radical step toward separating
Church and State and toward confirming the
dominance OF the civil over the ecclesiastical
power, must surely indicate TO the Vatican, as
Il does TO the world at large the Irresistible
trend of affairs in all iands toward realiza-
tion in each land according to its own fndi-
vidual genius, of Cavour's historic ideal.

COLONIAL POLICY OF THE FATHERS

OV@ONf4@lL FO4ICY OF IHE "EATHERS."
Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, is reported as criticising ad-
versely the colonial policy" of this govern
ment- Addressing the Virginia Bar Association
last week, he asked: Did the candid, intelligent
''men who drafted this Constitution and the
people who adopted it intend 10 vest
I'm the government they were creating the
power 70 hold other territory in colonial sub
sJect1on2" And he added that TO his mind II
was an imputation upon either the integrity
or the intelligence Of the trainers of the Con
Ettution that this nation should establish for
other lands shat same colonial subiection'
spm which the United States was freed bv
tie Revolutionary War
1c should not be difficult to find affirmative
answers 20 Justice Brewers demand. Of an
authoritative character. They are found in the
plain facts Of history that, in at least two con-
s3scuous and noteworthy cases. some Of the
foremost statesmen Of the Revolutionary and
Constitution framing era did explicitly commit
themselves and the government to a colonial
policy which, IL it was not identical with that
colonial subjectlon'' from which the United
States had Just been freed, was certainly no
less arbitrary than that, and was far more so
than anything now pract1sed or contemplated
by this government
Jefferson was not one OF the trainers OF the
Constitution" but he was certainly one OF the
iOIelnOeC IN IeseMtng ana casting OF Colonial
subJectiOn." Yet he was foremost IN ACQUIRING
the Louisiana Territory as colonial possession.
and in governing 1t without the assent of
the governed and with all the arbitrary per-
sOnaI autOcracy not merely OF an English royal
governor but OF a Spanish captain general.
Livingston, Monroe and others certainly knew
what was intended by the trainers of the Con
sttutiOn, yet they eagerly participated with
Jefferson In the development Of that colonial
policy. John Quincy Adams doubtless inher-
ited and received from his father full appre-
ciatiOn OF the Revolutionary and Constitution
making spirit Yet he took the lead, under
Monroe. n SECURING Florida as a colony and
in governing it as arbitrarily as Ponce de Leon
himself would have done: and f he had been
permitted 20 have his way, Texas also would
have been acquired at that time in like manner.
At woul6 require more space than we could
give n this place 10 print mere roll of tho
22raas OF those who drafted the Constitution
and edepsed ir' who not only intended TO but
actually Cid west IN The government the power
TO hold other territory in colonial subjection."
There Enay be room for differences Of opinion

permanently holding extensive colonial posses
