THE MORGAN JONES
RAILROAD PROPOSITION
Tho Winters right of way commit-
tee wore in Ablloho this week and re-
port having mado good progress In
securing tho right of way for tho road
from Winters to tho Taylor county
lino and In Taylor county somo otl
tho land owners that wqro seen mot
them liberally and co-operated In ev
ery way to help tho matter along.
Man howovor seemed Inclined to bbIc
more than doublo tho value of tho
land. Tho commltteo on tho Whole
wcro very much discouraged and said
that unless there was dovolopeda more
liberal spirit among the citizens along
tho proposed route tho road could not
bo built. Tho way Tho Reporter sees
it a man Is certainly standing In his
own light to ask an Unreasonable price
for a right of way through his land
for a railroad. In the first place a
railroad can nlways go somo other
way and leave him high and dry. In
the next place for a railroad to build
into a community and establish towns
nt convenient distances enhances the
value of any farm because Jt gives
transportation facilities' at easy reach.
The situation simply resolves itself
down to co-operation on tho part of
the citizens along tho line or tho road
will not be built. . Winters cannot
build the road alone. Thoy are pay-
ing a big bonus and the extra tax
on tem of a heavy right tof way charge
Is more than they can handle.

SUPREME COURT FECES
STATUS OF CHURCH.
(Published by Request)
For the first time the Supreme court
of the United States has passed on the
question whether the Catholic church
possesses a legal personality and tho
capacity to acquire and hold property.
The court recognizes that the. Church
possesses such a personality and such
a capacity the decision which was re
cently handed down is by Chief Jus
tice Fuller. It Is in the case of the
municipality of Ponce appellant vs.
I the Roman' Catholic Apostolic Church
In Porto Rico. The opinion has Just
been made public;
The contention which has Just been
decided by the Supreme Court was
over two churches one in Ponce Por-
to Rico and the other In Plnya tho
port of Ponce. Tho municipality had
furnished" certain funds for building
and repairing the churches and as
a reBult was claiming the title to tho
property. The Supreme Court of Por-
to Rico confirmed the right of the
church to the property and so likewise
does the Supremo Court of tho United
States
It was tho contention of the authori-
ties of Ponce that the Church should
bo Incorporated locally. The Supremo
Court does not take the view that this
Is necessary. It points out that tho
corporate existence of tho Cathollo
Church as well as tho position occu-
pied by tho Papacy hnvo nlwayB been
recognized by tho government of tho
United States. At one time tho United
States maintained diplomatic relations
with tho Papal "States which contin-
ued up to the tlmo of tho loss of tho
tomprral power of tho Papacy. "The
Holy See still occupies n recognized
position In International law of which
says the Supremo Court "tho court
jnust tnKo judicial notice 'fne pro-
position that the Church had no cor-
porate or Jural personality seems to be
completely nnswered by nn oxnmlna-
tjon of tho Jaw and history of tho Ro-
man Empire of Spain and of Portp
Rico dovin to tho time of tho cession
and by tho recognition accorded to It
as on ecclestnctlcal body by the Treaty
of Paris and by tho law of nations."
