 Is Progressive and Not Conservative State

there shall be an equalization of the cost of production here and abroad. The diff ference has merely been as to the way of achieving the common purpose and more and more we are coming into complete harmony as to the method to be adopted. Our opponents have no such harmony
 The colonel read and commended the tariff plank in the Massachusetts repub- lican platform, which indorses the plan for a tariff board. He said President Taft, by working for the tariff board and for satisfactory tariff relations with foreign countries, had pointed out the way which the party was to follow.
 Experience had shown that the pres ent system of tariff making is unsatis- factory" the colonel continued Our principles were right in the past. We propose to adopt methods which shall guarantee the principles being carried out with justice and equity

 Question Before Court
 The substantial question which the gov set out in the brief as being whether the United States courts have Jurisdiction to punish a corporation which printed in the city of New York a newspaper con taining a libel criminal under the laws of the state of New York and circulated copies of the same within the fedora territory of West Point. The government claim is based on an act of Congress oi 1898, which the government urges, oper' ates to transfer the state law to fedora territory for the purpose of punishing acts committed there if which performed out side and in the jurisdiction of the state would be amenable to it's laws
 '.The government argues that it Is not only the right but the duty of Congress so to legislate concerning territory under It's exclusive Jurisdiction as to preserve peace and good order therein, asserting that:
 Because he may be punished fol issuing libel in New York Is no req son for allowing him to go free of al punishment for circulating it at Wes Point. The people in the latter place are entitled to protection" The inconvenience to accused of be ing subjected to prosecutions in sun dry places where their alleged libels are circulated was met with the ar. gument that the inconvenience which may be suffered by criminals has not generally been regarded as adequate reason for permitting them to operate without restraint"
 The suggestion that the offense charged could be punished in New York state courts and therefore was not in- tended to be included in the act oi 1898 brought forth the argument from the government that the state of New York cannot punish an offense commit ted at West Point against the United

Brief of Defendant

A brief for the Press Publishing company was filed by Delancey Nicholl of New York and associated counsel. This brief contended that even though the language of the act of 1898 were literally broad enough to cover tn e case, 1t should not be so construed for several reasons. The first notice of these was that the general "acquiescence of legal minds for nearly a century In the negative of the proposition forbids the construction now for the first time asserted by the government"
 During this period we have passed through the most momentous events of our history" said the attorneys. -Four wars have been fought, we have lost three Presidents by assassination, we have passed through 20 presidential elections, we have survived a number of financial panics. but notwith standing s these and other crises in our national existence and all the fierce discussions of the press which accompanied them no one has ever claimed that the courts of the United States have Jurisdiction to punish a libel. first printed, first published and circulated in one of the states and which in the courts of a general circulation has happened to penetrate into these federal reserva- tions."
 Another reason advanced against the governments construction was that "the whole history and life of the country Is utterly at variance with any such construction"
 The necessary result of such a con struction, 1t was contended. would be to confer upon the national authority a general control over the press of tn ( country.
