Christiansted, May 18th, 1913.
Dear Mr.. Editor
In this mornings issue of the
Bulletin, there appeared an article over the
names of J. II. Faber and 2. Helweg- Larsen.
1t is true, the Rev. Gentlemen had pre-
viously requested me "to inform the public
VINO was in FAULT" but l failed to see why I
should nuke q public statement.
! was not responsible for what appeared
in the West End New nor for the incident
that marred the sacred and solemn ceremony
Of our holy religion on Sunday afternoon.
Now, let US turn our attention to the
state ments made IN the ST. Croix Bulletin
Of May 29th.
l. Last Sunday we were driving through
Kings Street just before q procession
was about coming from the Market"
This is not correct. The procession had
just lined up on the Eastern and West
ern sides of tie Market, preparatory to
the Solemn Benedictiou, when the un-
pleasant episode occurred. The pro-
cession did not leave the market for at
least u quarter Of an hour afterwards
2, 1--WE did not know of any procession be-
fore we cume.' II is too bad we did
not advertise. In that case the trouble
would have been avertel.
3. "There was space enough to pass" How
could there be space to pass when the
Eastern and Western sides Of the Mar
ket, including Kings Street at this
point, were crowded with men, women
and little children!
4. can automobile had just passed" But
that was sotue moments before the pro-
c4ssion reached the head Of the Market.
5. '"Ihe police also told US that we could
pass" On May 14th or 18th, the SER
vices Of two police were kindly promised
by the Danish authorities to prevent
anyone passing through the lines OF the
Catholic procession on May 25th.
6. GAS to the police" the Rev. Gentlemen
state, l found myself called upon to
make an excuse the next day. Now,
this is a matter that does not concern
them in the least. It refers to what
happened after they withdrew. / went

explained the whole situation. | stated:
that if [ had trespassed upon authority,
by helping to restore peace at an &c
cfedjngly critical moment, [ acknow-
lodged the oversight and graciously apo

In conclusion, if the Rev. Gentlemen
when kindly asked and reminded that
we had the sanction of the authorities
to hold the procession, had at once tax

ness, which we profoundly deplore,
would not have happened.

my parishioners, I remain

Dear Sir
It might interest the public to know
something OF what transplred at the meet
ing held in the Steeple last night (puesday).
with the object of organizing a MutuA I'm
provement Society, so, if you would give me
some space, I will try to recount the pro-
ceedings in brief from memory
FIRST and foremost, Mr. A. r. Mcintosh,
acting as crier, declared the meeting open,
and asked the meeting to elect a chairman.
DR.. D.. G. Cauegata was unanimously elected
and entered upou his duties il good STYLE
by first requesting the house to elect q Sc
%cretary. MIR. Teytaud and myself were no.
minated, and the question being put to the
vote, the first named gentleman was elected
by q large majority. The Chairman them
moved that u press reporter be nominated,
and | was unanimously elected, but was COM
PEELED to decline. Mr.. Harland then asked
for the word, and suggested that the
work of press-repOlter should fall upon
the Secretary of the meeting. This was
carried by d majority. The Chairman then
announced that Mr.. Heytaud, as one of the
promoters, would like to address the meet
ing, explaining the object OF the Society,
and he would therefore ask the house to
elect a Secretary pro tenn. Mr.. Geo. Jackson
was elected in this instance. In the course
Of his speech Mr., Teytaud said that he had
had al opportunity of being connected with
a similar society IN st. Thomas, and assured
us that great benefits We're derived from
the discussions, debates, aud lectures given
from time to time at the meetings. Que Of
the principal objects, he said, which tn,
Society had in view was the encouraging OF
public speaking, He then begun to con
verse with an imaginary pessimist, who, as
he believed, was ever present at such meet
iugs. He would not listen to Mr.. Pessi-
mist's "buts and ifs and declared that he
meant to look at the optimistic side OF the,
affair.
The Chairman then requested the Secretary
(NKr. Teytaud} to read the Constitution ell
block. after which he took it mp section for
section and put it to the house for discussion
limiting each speaker to four minutes. Some,
warm discussions took place before the Con.
@stitution could be amended At last it was
got into the form the house would have it,
and signed by those DESTROYS of becoming
members.
The signing over, NIr. Colberg moved that
a vote of thanks be extended to His Excel
lency the Governor and the Rev. HeIweg-
Larsen, for their condescension in lending
the Steeple, and a similar vote to the School
Commission for having granted the Society
the use of the topstory Public School build
ing for holding its meetings for the present
Thus was brought to a close a. very enjoy
able evening, and I am sure all went away
thoroughly well pleased.
Yours truly,
D. HAMILTON JACKSON.

One Street Railway Managers
View of Virtue Of Advertising
to Control Papers.

The manager Of street railway
company came tearing into the office
CT the secretary. His face was
Flushed; his eyes bulged from his
head; his nerves were at high ten
sion, and clenched tightly in. his
hand was the local weekly labor pa
per. He had just finished reading a
scorching article on the advantages
Of the municipal ownership of street
railway systems in which were up
braided the high financial methods Of
the particular traction company Of
which the furious manager was the
head.
If, this. vile rag shouted the
angry manager to his secretary, "car-
ries any advertising for our company
cut it out. and do 1t at once. It is
the only way to punish those dema-
gogic labor editor agitators.'
The secretary took the paper. saw
its name, looked up his files, and
said to his chief: No this paper, is
not on our.sliSt. We do not give it
any of our business -s'
We'll see That it is given a good
slice Of advertising at once" retorted
the manager. 1T may help to put a
quietus on the editor. He usually
needs the money"
And this conception of the use of
advertising space in local papers is
shared by street railway manager
whose name is not unknown to q
large number Of Duluth people.

OPPORTUNITY FOR WHOLESOME ALLIANCE.
The friends of direct legislation have excellent
opportunity between and the election to be
held in November 1914 to form alliance with several
interests that concerned in the passage of consu
tonal amendments to be then voted upon, and which
should insure the of the initiative and reeren
dunn proposal to amend the constitution of the state
We present on the first page of this issue OF The
Labor World article in which attempt to show
the danger that conronts the Initiative and referendum
It may fail of passage not that people will not
vote for the amendment than will against it, but
not receive majority of the votes to be cast at
the election Other very important amendments have
been lost in this way.
Now the people to vote several propositions
to amend the constitution of the state and fortunately
the friends of the proposed amendments varied The
legal profession wants the number of judges OF the
preme court increased from five to Workngmen
will be interested in certain clause in the proposed
amendment which provides that law passed by the
legislature he declared unconstitutional by the
preme court except by a 1ve-seventh vote thereof
There is proposition to provide for the recall of
public officials to be voted Many people favor
the recall nothing about the initiative and
referendum.
There is also proposed amendment permitting the
state invest the school and university fund
in bonds OF county, city school district and in i'm
proved lands This is important proposal which
is looked upon with favor throughout the state
If the forces who stand for each of the proposed
amendments couM be induced to- pool their strength
all Of them every proposition could be carried at the
election 1t strikes The Labor World that this is just
the thing be done The four propositions look good
to us. Why not get together upon them?

OTHERDAY SLAVES AND TODAYs.

Slaves at time black In color. But now
they generally white They of all ages-from
ten years very useful not only because Of
their abors but also from the fact that they furnish
leading magazines with articles to supplement their
advertisements and clergymen with topics for their
sermons.
It thought at time that slaves might go out
but it having been demonstrated that they necessary
for the maintenance of Christian IDEALS they have be-
come firmly established than
At time slaves were bought and sold in market
places by private of at retail Now that they
employed by Wholesale and fostered by the govern
ment, this practice has gone out.
There is another difference between the old-tinle
slave and the of today which might be mentioned.
The time slave knew that he slave. The slave
of today doesn't know it, thinks is Free it having
been discovered that when slave is laborng under this
delusion he do about twice much work.
