Power of Conaress
1.-The Constitution

l Again Alaska has indeed been 1 incorporated in, and is part of, the l United States, and the Constitution is in full force here, but that fact does not change Alaska from being i a territory into State, nor render applicable to Alaska those provisions of the Constitution which have to
 do only with the States, albeit the
 provision throughout the United 1 States" means throughout every part
 and parcel "of the great American empire" Besides, the very Consti tuition which is in force provides
 that Congress has power ito dispose
 of and make all needful rules and
 regulations respecting the territory
 or other property belonging to the
 United States" Constitution, Ar i ticle 1. Section 8, Clause 2) Can ] it be doubted that under the power
 thus conferred, Congress has the power, if it chooses to exercise it. to absolutely close, not only the port of Juneau, but. all the ports of Alaska? i Could it not, if it so chose, prohibit all commercial intercourse with AL aska? Having been given the pow CT ito dispose of the territory,
 could it not dispose of any part, or the whole thereof? He who denies
 the existence of this power would
 have hard time explaining what is
 meant by the words shall have pow
 CT to dispose of' If Congress has
 the power to dispose, Of Alaska or
 the power to prohibit commercial in tercourse with Alaska, can it be ar gued that it has not the power to
 prescribe that such commercial in tercourse as is to be had with Al
 aska shall be had by means of vessels of American ownership and registry?
 l very much regret that the time
 occupied daily in the trial of cases precludes any more exhaustive
 opinion on my part than is here
 contained However. the fact that
 tho opinion is in favor of the con
 stitutionality of the Act does not
 call for any extended exposition of
 my view on the subject.
 The demurrer will be sustained.

Eioiiipltloi lSidtluS to the lt4TllOTN of the United States-it had to do only with the states of the Union
 The Constitution
 The Constitution was created by 1 the people of the United States as q union of States, to be governed sole Ely, by representative of the States; and even the provision relied upon her e. that all duties, imposts, anu excises shall be uniform through out the United States, is explained by subsequent provisions of the Con- stitution, that no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exporteI from any State, anu no preference shall Dc given by any regulation of com m9rce or revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to or from one State be obliged to enter, clear CT pay duties in another In short, the Constitution deals with States their people, and their representa- tives"
 Downs Bidwell, supra, page 251.
 In dealing with foreign sovereign ! ties, however, the term United States has broader meaning than when used in the Constitution, and in cludes all territories subject to the | jurisdiction of the Federal govern. ment. wherever located hi it's l treaties and conventions with for 1 eign nations this government is a unit. This is not so because the ter 1 ritOries comprised part of the gov ernment established by the people Of 1 the States in their Constitution, bur l because the Federal government ia the only authorized organ of the ter k ritOries. as well as of the States, in ! their foreign relations" Qbid, page l 2G3.)
 I But it is contended' that because 1 Chief Justice White has given a his | torical review of proceedings in the 1 Convention which resulted in the adoption of different clauses relating to interstate commerce and their ar. engagement, and there comes to the conclusion that although the provi- sions as to preference between ports and that regarding the uniformity of duties, imposts and excises wer one in purpose and one in adop, tion, and were originally placed to- gether and became separate only in arranging the Constitution for the purpose of style" therefore the two expressions are identical in mean l ing. Even if the contention ba sound, yet the Supreme Court iii Downs Bidwell, supra, expresses itself thus: s-t.t .1
 "Construed together, the purpose is irresistible that the words throughout the United States are indistinguishable from the words among or between the <several States and that these prohibitions were intended to apply only to commerce between ports of the sev- eral States as they then existed or 1 should thereafter be admitted to tile Union"

PRESIDENT WILSON TO TAKE
REST AFTER MARCH .

Washington, Feb. 7.-Prcsident Will
son plans to go into virtual seclusion
for a time after March 4.
Freed from the responsibilities of
office which have weighed heavily
upon him during his convalescence
MIR. Wilson, his friends say, will shut
himself in for a period of intensive
rest and quiet in the new home he
has purchased here. He will deny
himself to all callers except immedi-
ate members of his family, it is said,
and very fc wintimate friends with
whom throughout his illness he has
kept in contact.
No formal engagements of any char
President until he shall have thor
oughly adjusted himself to priavtc life
after some ten years in public service.
Even the writing which he has
planned to do upon retirement from
the White House will be postponed
for several months, his friends say.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to have
declined a number of invitations to
spend part of the summer out of
Washington, but because of his de-
light with the pleasant weather here
last summer, the first which he spent
in this city, it is regarded as unlikely
that nc will accept any of these in
vitations.
For possibly six months, friends of
the President believe, his life will be
wholly taken up with recreation. His
chief diversion since his illness has
been reading. He is said to have
practically exhausted the field of de-
tective stories, of which he has al
ways been especially fond, and more
recently has taken up novels and light
stories. He also has given some time
to reading poetry.
Since his resumption last week Of
his old custom of attending the thea
ter, the president is expected to con-
tinue as his health improves to find
occasion more and more to avail
himself of this form of recreation.
