of lots were off the market, wait
ing for higher prices. That is
the way to kill the town or move
it to some other place.
High price lots, or no price at
all is hindering the growth of
many of our towns. Every lot
that is sold increases the price
of the other lot beyond it. Be
cause you can buy lot in Tulia,
is one reason she is growing
faster than any other town on the
plains today.
So we spent the night in the
leading hotel-but one there, and
caught the mail hack as she came
sweeping through from the
growing little town of Crosbyton,
the end of the mail line. 1t took
US all day to make Plainyiew,
stopping at Petersburg for din
ner. There is a railroad excite
ment, and we got there just in
time to see the old town moved
to the new one. The last stub
born signature was placed on
the agreement to move the town
about five minutes after our ar
rival, hence JOY in the town.

AN DECISION.

In an opinion written by Justice
Holmes the supreme court of the Uni
ted states decided. one day last week,
a case which is of considerable intcr-
est in this part OF the country. The
case in point was that of Matco Car
mo vs.. the government Of the philip
pine Islands, and the decision was
against the government
The case grew out of a controversy
over the title of a tract of land occu-
pied as a military reservation in the
province of Benguet. which was
claimed by Carino through possession
covering a period of thirty years. 1t
was shown that he had received no
title from the government and the In
sular court. holding that the statute
of limitation does not run as against
the state in such n case, decided that
mere possession would not give title
as against the government, but that
position vas reversed by this de-
eision,
In the course Of his opinion Justice
Holmes said that the United states
had taken possession of the Philip
pines in a different spirit from that,
in which they had been held by Spain.
eve must do justice to the natives
and cannot exploit their lands for pri-
vate gain. Every presumption is and
ought to be against the government
I'm a ease like this. If there IS doubt
or ambiguity in the Spanish law the
claimant should have the benefit of
it"
The opinion Is considered an inn
fportant one as showing the tendency
of the court in dealing with the dis
position of the Philippine lands.

cases constitute an xac parallel and
in the Dana case Mr.. Root won a
signal victory when he fought the cx-
tradition. He said in arguing the
Dana case:
1T would be a great limitation up
pom the freedom of the press in this
country to say that every editor in
every city and state is liable to be
taken to any part of the earth where
his papers may happen to go. and tried
over and over again, hundreds of
times perhaps for a single article
And this consideration is to be re-
ceived with no less weight because the
same arbitrary and odious law against
which Erskine fought in the days OF
George III, is now enforced in the
District of Columbia, because the law
in that district as adopted by the act
of 1901 was the law as it existed in
1776, and that was before Fox's act
was passed by the British parliament,
and before Conncll's act vas passed
in 1903. so that the most important
provisions which now surround per-
sons charged with libel are now want
ing in that district"
Tho justice who decided for Mr..
Root said in delivering his opinion:
mo federal court has cognizanee OF
such a ease as this. and as between the
states there is mo- extradition except
of fugitivcs from justice. This de-
PENDANT is not a fugitive, He has not
fed from the District of Columbia.
He was not there and there is no
such thing as constructive flight"
1t Will be interesting to see what
attitude Mr., Root will take in the
present case. whore he is n of the
plaintiffs, or prosecuting witnesses. IN
stead OF being counsel for the defend-
ant.

IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS.

Marked Improvement in business
condition in the United States at the
close of the calander year 1908, as
compared with the latter part of tho
previous year. and in many cases q
return to normal condition are shown
by special compilations made by the
bureau of statistics of the department
Of and labor.
Taking the value Of the building
permits issued in sixty-three leading
cities of the country, the report shows
that. while each Of the first eight
months of 1908 was behind the cor
responding months of the previous
year. zach of the last four months
showed an improvement, which was
especially marked in November and
December.
The number Of cars handled by
associations. covering practically the
entire country, was larger in Deem
Der. 1908, than in the same month OF
1907. This Is taken as an assumption
that general business conditions are
improving and that the quality of
merchandise being bought and sold
transported is increasing.
Similar improvement is shown In
other lines of business.
Locally. it is true, business condl-
tions are no better than they were
a year ago but this is due to the fact
that for reasons OF a specially fort
innate character, the extreme force OF
the financial and commercial panic
which overlook the country in the
fall Of 1907 did not strike this section
until nearly a year after the worst had
come to the nearly all the eastern
but now that the storm has
practically spent itself in the cast. and

SOMEWHAT

In a news item given by the tele-
graph yesterday morning from Porto
Rico, the statements made, If taken
without a few words Of explanation
might readily give the reader an En-
roneous opinion of the conditions re-
ferred to. The report in question re-
fers to trouble which it is alleged has
arisen between Judge Rodey and GER
tain attorneys Of his court and the
statement is misleading not in what
it says, but in what it leaves out.
The facts have long been well
known to the department at Wash
ington, and the whole matter can be
stated in very few words: The Porto
Rico lawyers want the judge to con-
tinue the Spanish methods of doing
business. while the judge persists in
having the business of his court trans
acted according to American methods.
The attorneys cite the case of Cuba,
where the Spanish mode of procedure
has mover been molested, and demand
that the same course be pursued in
Porto Rico.
But they ignore the fact that Amer
dean rule in Cuba never claimed to
be more than temporary. while the
United States is in Porto Rico to stay,
and that island is to remain perma-
nently a part Of the United States.
Therefore. while it was neither wise
nor necessary to interfere with the
old methods in the former case, it is
imperative in the latter case that the
judicial methods there should con-
form to those of the nation of which
the island forms a part.

NOT A SQUARE DEAL.

Even though the alleged reasons for
the turning down of the enabling act

some foundation in fact it will have
to be admitted by the most uncompro-
missing enemy of the territories that
were used for the purpose of defeat
ing the cause of statehood did not
give the territories a square deal.
II will not be denied that the poll
the territory have been conducted for
some years past. in a manner such as
neither this territory nor any other
commonwealth could reasonably be
that a very large portion of the best
men of that party nave openly and
vigorously protested against the same,
and this sentiment in favor of better
conditions has made so much prog
ress that the fate of the corrupt gang
Immediately responsible for the de-
grading conditions referred to is now
plainly written upon tie wall. Con-
.ress has been for years thoroughly
acquainted with the doings of this
gang, and has know too, that when
ever we might apply for statehood its
record would be quoted against us,
but tho congress has never ~interposed
its power to assist the decent people
.nf the territory to protect Themselves,
and bring about better conditions.
Officially. the territorial administra-
tion Is as clean as that of most states
of the union, and if there had been
any ground for serious charges in that
direction why were they not investi-
gated long ago. instead of being held

The committee and the senate were full
~ aware last year, and the year before
that these charges had been made, II
would be brought up whenever the
territory might apply for admission
to the union. Why. then. did not the
senate. in the discharge of the plain
duty which it owes the territory. have
these charges investigated long ago,
when there was plenty of time to have
their truth or their falsity established
beyond question, instead of putting OIL
that important work until it was too
late to have il done?
In the course it has chosen to pur-
sue i'm this matter. the senate Of the
United states has not acted honorably
toward the territories, it has not acted
fairly toward them. it has not given
them a square deal.
