Saturday, eth August, 1919.

The subj ct Of woAuhtjou ha, now been
brought prominently before the nosieo Of the

We desire at the outset of this prohihi-
ton campaign to declare that we are not IN
sympathy with the movement, for the fol
lowing reasons: FIRSTLY, becuns" 1t IS UNI
necessary MS our community is to-day. 1t
cannot in fairness be sad thnt St. Croix, for
many vcurs past, has been II hard drluking
community. Such was the cnse years ago,
and even then the temperance leaders re-
trained from making such u proposal, for
many were non pr0hibitionlsts themselves
aud the others knew we'll That they wouId
have lost the support of many Of their best
friends if they had rushed to extremes.
At that time the remedy proposed was to
put an excise on rum, a plan which the Gov
eminent adopted TO the improvement OF the
community III this regard. The excise has
made rum more than 1000 denref than it
was in the days of which W. speak, aud
tbore has no doubt been u general AID
grent improvement in the sobrlety Of the
people. Such u drastic measure rs prohrbl-
ton is unnecessary, amt the proposal is
needlessly irritating to people who are in no

Again, we consider that prohibition is mn
Interference with The liberty OF til subject.
A State consists of men aud women, not
children. and Government has no right TO
prohibit their use of intoxicants. The most
it can do is to raise the price Of liquor, mud
if This is done it must be in q Just and
EQUITABLE manner. The drink of the poor
man must not in fairness be raised one
per cent more than the drink of the rich
man. Our correspondent states TINT only ia
cnse of a AIS majority could such a scheme be
carried out. but on this point we would
remark that as the very lnrRe MINORITY
Of our people arc lubuulera, easily IN
Anenced and won to sign anything their
Pnstors advise, it would not be II difficult
matter perhaps to get that majority. The
remaining 1/5 n hard working, moderate
drinking minority would be denied their liber-
tx by the vote of people who would soon wlithe
under conditions imposed by themselves.
Moreover most teachers know by expert
euce that it is unwise to lay prohibitions
unnecessarily on scholars, for they are irk-
some. aud most children break them on the
sly. The fnult is not the child's but the
teachers when such prohibitions are dis
obeyed. The character of IL child must -

Every PrecautiOn Taken
to Prevent Congestion
BY Associated Press

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 30.-An-
nouncement by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad on an embargo of steel
products for export will not seriously
affect this district, only about twenty
five cars a day being shipped to that
point. while some eighty cars make
up the steel trains for Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Much of this freight,
railroad officials said, was for foreign
ports other than those in Europe.
Reports from other railroads lead
ing to the East indicate that every
precaution is being taken to prevent
added congestion at Atlantic termI-
nails. Three thousand cars loaded
with export steel were said to be in
the yards at Hollidaysburg, Pa,
closely guarded by railroad policemen
until they can be sent on their way.
This material, valued at approximately
$40, 100000, consists largely of steel
car parts, wheels, ETC., for Russia
which will be routed through the
Panama Canal. There is also a con-
siderable tonnage of bridge steel.

URGES GYM WORK
FOR CHILDREN
Employment of Girls Devitaliz-
ing the Races Declares Father
T. B. Johnson

Urging not only still more effective
and regular physical training of chill
dren, both of the grammar grades and
those smaller, the Rev. T. B. johnson,
last night told his fellow members of
the Social Workers Club some of the
needs of this community in its work
of caring for children of all classes.
The address was given at the aims
house, where the club was entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer f. Barber,
steward and matron of the institution.
DR.. c. r. Phillips, in charge of State
Tubercular Dispensary No. IS, dis
cussed the cooperation OF the various
charitable organizations with the
State.
The moral effect which proper phys
ical training gives the child was de-
scrihed by the Rev. johnson. when
a child dons gymnasium suit all are
equal" he declared. This is a most
desirable condition
1.-THE many homes throughout every
community, where the father is fore
ed to work ten to 12 hours a day,
while the mother frequently is em-
ployed away from home, are places
where proper training cannot be given
the children" The work of a social
center or even a well regulated gymna-
SUM makes up for the lack, however,
to very great extent
Physical training for the girls was
declared to be even more necessary
than for the boys, as the girls usually
are compelled to restrict their normal
physical activities and play very early
in life. Present employment condi-
tons of girls was condemned and the
speaker declared that they were de-
vitalizing the race. Physical training
for women was strongly urged.
Miss Alice Eby and Miss Agnes Shell
entertained the club with instrumental
duets following the general discussion
of social work by the members. Re-
freshments were served, The next
meeting of the club will be at the
home of Miss Anna C. Seel, 703 North

ployes which will pay dividends on

Post Office Department has three such
organizations which provide not only
for money to take care of the Christ
mas rush but also cases of sickness
and death. Dividends will be declar-
ed in a short time. The Telegraph

carry out the same idea and a goodly
sum will be carried home by. all the

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 30.-Merchants in
the larger populated centers of the
southeastern section of the country
are of the opinion that the December
business will be larger than for sew
eral years. Retail stores in Atlanta
have laid in larger stocks than usual
at this season of the year and early
Christmas trade is justifying these
preparations, according to statement
to-day by Grover Magehee, secretary
of the Atlanta Retail Merchants As
sociation.
'I do not know whether the people
have more money than in previous
years, but do know that they seem
to have more confidence and are
spending it more freely" said Mr..
