Larsen Mr.. Vice-Chailman, honourabie
Members
Before going into particulars about the
four Drafts of Law now to be laid before
the Council for its report, | wish to give q
few general remarks on the whole reform
movement.
When in the year 1912 | was appointed
Cove. nor of the Danish West India Islands,
[ had for some years been absent from ST.
Croix and had had no opportunity to follow
closely the development OF affairs III this Is
land. Time was already hen hard there for
the ngrirultuiists and the following years
did not bring the help so much hoped for.
[ could easily see that reforms were needed
in many different points, but the main reform
proposals / had to postpone until time had
been given me to become better acquainted
with all the points to be taken into conside-
ration. Also | wished to see with my own
eyes in how far these questions had been
solved satisfactorily i'll other West India Is
lands, and I took q trip south IN spring 1918
visiting most of the British West IndlN Is
lands.
Early in 1914 then / laid my first reform
proposal before the Ministry, namely that
which with some alterations you VIII find
embodied in the Draft of Law concerning
measures for combating the mortality
among children in st. Croix. | had realized
what a scourge for the population the over
whelmlng infant mortality represented AID
how all the lubouring classes suffered under
this scourge.
This was the commencement Of the reform
movement. Since then [ have been IN con-
slant communication with the Ministry IN
Copenhagen on proposals Tor reforms. Dur
ing this correspondence with the Ministry L
pointed out that the only way of sowing the
labour question in st. Croix, was TO make
conditions sucn for the labourer, that he
could feel satisfied TO work i'll the Island
without, however, doing harm to the Inte-
rest of the planters, who under very difficult
circumstances had worked hHrd to maintain
the Islands sugar cultivation that Tor years
had given them either very little profit OF no
profit whatever.
Finally the proposals were put in shape
and laid before The Homo Diet duflng my
recent stay in Copenhagen.
You will see from these my remarks, that
the reform proposals have worked their way
quite independently of the addresses AID
concentrations from the unsatisfed parts of
the population.
These four Laws, that now are to be in
PRODUCED il the Council, represent, as you all
must admit, a very generous git from the
Mother Country as oil the expenses are to
be betrayed by the State Treasury aud not
by the Colonial Treasury. The Laws prove
that there is a very strong feeling of interest
in the Mother Country for the West Indian
Colonies and a Willingness to make sacrifices
for them. This I,hope will be we'll under
stood out here and appreciated. The pro-
posals deal mainly with the interest OF la
bourers, but you will easily see, that the IN

ARE YOU RUN DoWNp
Awaken to the Danger and Aid the
Weakened Kidneys.

Kidney sickness often runs You down
to the verge Of collapse before you know
the cause. When you seem unable to
pin your mind to any task, your back
aches and you cannot do an ordinary
days work, 1t is time to ask yourself this
question: "Are my kidneys working
right?" Tho answer may be easily
found.
Weak kidneys slacken their hltering
work and the uric acid clrculates with
the blood, in many cases attacking brain,
nerves, muscles and vital organs. Don't
walt for serious trouble-begin using
Doan's Kidney Pills when you feel the
first backache or first notice urinary dis
orders. This remedy has given new life
and strength to thousands. Read the
grateful testimony that follows:
w. o. Needham, retired farmer, Main
st., Norway, Me-, says: cat times my
kidneys seemed affected. They were
weak and my system seemed filled with
uric acid. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Stones ,Drugi Store, corrected
these troubles and gave relief in q short
time"
OVER THREE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Needham:ssid: II use Doan's Kidney
Pills occasionally and they always give
me relief"
Price 500, at all dealers, Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Need

Norway scored 10 points ON fouls shows

Pythian Anniversary.

One Of the most social fraterlal affairs
of the season was the Observance OF the
ifty-second anniversary OF the order OF
Knights of Pythias By .Hamlin Lodge,
K. of p, Friday evening. 1t was not
confined to members of the order, as in
yitations had been sent out to q large
number of other men, many OF whom re-
sponded.
A little defsrring of the program was
made necessary from the fact that the
principal speaker of the evening did not
arrive until the evening train, but the
time was meanwhile spent socially.
Shaw's Orchestra OF four men gave q
number of good selections, and some pho
nograph records filled in any little gaps
that occurred throughout the evening.
Soon after nine o'clock the tables were
set ND, and the party of something IKE
I125 gathered around them, to partake Oh
a generous lunch Of sandwiches, conee,
doughnuts, cake, fruit, etc.
After the banquet had been disposed
of. and cigars lighted, Walter L. Gray as
toastmaster called to order, and with
brief remarks called upon few, and re-
sponses were made by A. w. Waiker,
VIM. j. Wheeler, j. A. Kenney and Dr'

of their enjoyment of it. P. <. Hath,
