The United States Supreme Court Decision.
By Editor
Among the things for which many people in this country have been waiting anxiously for months is the decision or series of decisions of the Supreme Court of this nation defining the relations of Porto Rico and other insular possessions to the Federal Government. Most of those interested are looking upon the matter as a purely political or partisan question, many more, as a commercial question. But the question is broader, deeper, and farther reaching than mere matters of politics or commerce. These decisions are but steps, important steps, of a series in which are involved the existence of a republic, nay, of the nations of the world. Not the least important of these is the prophetic and religious element connected with the question. Knowing the interest of the people upon this, the Signs of the Times has secured four articles, the first appropriately beginning in its issue of July 3, from the pen of one who has given more thought and study to all sides of the question than any other man in the United States. This man is Alonzo T. Jones, editor of the Sentinel of Liberty, author of “Two Republics,” “The Rights of the People,” etc., etc. You will want to read these articles; you will want your neighbors to read them.
