Bourke Cockran addressed tho graduating
clats of the Yalo law school this afternoon
at the anniversary exercises. Ho said thc
young men of thc graduating class wero en
tering their procession on tho ovo of tho
most momentous decision ever given by a
court, .referring to tho pending question
before the supreme court of tho United
States on the constitutional aspect nf nowly-
acqulred Islands and that their products and
people have tree accs to our ports and to
our marts of trade.
"Both political partlcB will be as earnest In
their desire to bo rid of them as one party
already seems to be," said Mr. Cockran.
"The United States' right to take territory
Is not 'disputed. The annexation of Canada
Is a wish of many Americans. The annox
atlon of Mexico Is not an Improbability, nor
the taking .tn of South Amrrlrn an Impossi
bility. Nor is thc annexation of a part of
China tdday quite so fanciful as three years
ago tbo annexation of tho Philippines would
have been considered. It Is not Impossible
that In tho twolvo months hence the annex
ation ofa part of tho wall of China may be a
ourning question.
"If. on the other hand, the supremo court
should hold the constitution should not bold
then the questions arc momentous. A gov.
crnment's policy can be changed, but the
decrees of courts Hand Irrevocable. What
might be thc status of tho president In
any of 'the countries In which congress would
set up tho 'government? The president
mtght, lt Is quite conceivable, remain a re'
publican magistrate only In tho original re
public and his status range from that In the
dependencies to a despotic military ruler.
Indeed, congress might remove the capital
from Washington and set It up outside of the
bounds of tho power of tho constitution
which created, it. It could levy taxes, not
for the benefit of the governed, but for tho
benefit of the governors. Three are conse
quences which might flow from n decision of
the court. You can now measure for your
selves tho magnitude of the question which
the court can decide by Its declaration."
