ed examination/of the cases. cited in
the majority opinion. He maintained
that they did not show a clear current
of devision. but discloacd much diverg-
ence of view. He referred also to the
fact that precedents not in consonance
with the majority view were now dis-
missed as dictum and not binding opin
ion.
He spoke of the dangers attending
the Ilsmissal of judicial opinion as
"dictum." and of the greater dangerp
when such a course may interfere. or
has interfered with the action of a na-
tion. Constancy and certainty of In
dicial opinion were of the highest im-
portance. the Justice declared. and they
should not be like the “simulations oi
a marsh. shining mistily."
Justice McKenna's examination of
the many precedents was exhaustive
and almost an hour was given to snow-
ing to what. extent the circumstances
of each case bore on the present con
dltlou in Porto Rico.
In the course of his reasoning on the
manner of the acquisition of Porto
llico. Justice Brown held that Con-
gress has authority to control such
teriltmy. “in deed it is." he said
scarcely too much to say that there
has not been a session of Congress
since the territory of Louisiana was
purchased that that body has not so
acted legislation based upon the as
sumed authority to govern and con
troi the territory. It is an authority
which arises. not necessarily from Inc
territorial clause of the constitution
but from the necessities of the case
and from the inability of the states to
act upon the subject. Under this pow
er Congress may deal with territory
acquired by treaty: may administer its
government as It does that of the Dis-
trict of Columbia; it may organize a
local territorial government; it may
admit It as a state upon equality with
other states. it may sell Its public own-
ings to individual citizens. or may (10»
note them as homestesds to actual set~
tiers. In short. when on‘ce acquired by
treaty it belongs to the United States
and Is subject to the disposition {if
Congress.
"’l‘errltory thus acquired can remain
a foreign country under the tariff laws
only upon one of two theories: Eltlr
er that the word "foreign applies to
such countries as one foreign at the
time the statute was enacted notwith-
standing any subsequent change In
their condition or that they remain
undeI the tariff laws until Congress
has formaiiy embraced them within
the customs union of the states. The
that theory In obviously untenable.
While a statute Is presumed to speak
rom the time of Its enactment It om
braces all such persons 0r things as
subsequently fall within its scope and
ceases to apply to such as thereafter
fall within it scope."
