The Ottawa Sentinel hits the mai

Men should vote and vote thier
choice at primary elections. Select

duty Voters are as much interested
as the candidates. The voter pays
the freight. Who will best serve the
public? Best judgment should be used
when answering this question at the
ballot box. The primary election is
as important as laying a foundation
on which to construct building.
What We get in the primary is what
W ebuild ON in November. Men
should stand before the ballot box

Rain or shine the polls will be
open next Tuesday from $3.50 am. to

didates. Go to the polls and put a
cross mark in front of the men whom
you think best fitted to serve you.
There will be no circle at the top. No
Rooster or Eagle to help you vote.
You must put a cross mark i'm front

you desire to vote"

DANISH WEST INDIES SCENE OF MANY
HISTORICAL EPISODES IN EARLY DAYS

Concerning the early history of
Americas about-to-be possessions, the
Danish West Indies, the National
Geographic society issues the follow
ing bulletin from Washington:
"Of the three small islands on the
northeastern edge of the Caribbean sea,
for which the United States expects
to pay Denmark $25,OOO,000, ST.
Thomas and ST. John, both smaller
and less denseIy populated than ST.
Croix, have been the scenes of many
thrilling episodes. Here white colon
lists of four nations followed each
other with bewildering perplexity dur
ing the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries.
More than a hundred years after
the discovery of st. Thomas by Col
umbus in 1893 the island was wholly
uninhabited, although its excellent
harbor had been a port of refuge for
Dutch nayigators during many de-
cades. When a handful of French
colonists, survivors of a massacre on
Crab island perpetrated by band of
Spaniards from Porto Rico, reached
its shores in a dugout in 1647 they
found evidences of an earlier settle
ment, but no clues as to the national
ity of their predecessors or of their
fate. These French wanderers were
not disposed to brave a similar mys-
FERROUS end, so they sailed on
AT about the time that Peter Stuy-
vesant was establishing a representa-
tive form of government on Manhat-
tan island some of his fellow country
men were establishing the first re-
corded settlement on St. Thomas.
These hardy colOnists met the same
fate which overlook their brother HoI-
landers of New Amsterdam for three
years after the town on the Hudson
became New York the St. Thomas pio-
neers were forced to surrender to the
English also The latter soon desert
ed the island and turned to the more
fertile lands of St Martins and ST.
Eustatlas, so that in 1871 when the
Danes, wishing to share in the colon
ial prosperity of other European ma
tions, chartered the West India and
Guinea company, st. Thomas, unin--
habited again, was awaiting the advent
of settlers who were to establish
Denmark's rights in the island. With
two brief Interruptions, this sover-
eighty has been maintained from that
day up to the present time.
''The legend that ST Thomas was at
one time the headquarters Of the ruth
less buccaneers who terrorized the
Spanish Main for SO many years is
perpetuated in the names given to
two towers still standing on the
heights back of the seaport of Char
lotte Amalie- On one hill is Blue
boards Castle while on an adjacent
height rises 'Blackbeard's Castle His
tory does not substantiate the roman
tic tradition, and it is extremely doubt
ful If the buccaneers were ever in
possession here.
When the Danes arrived they were
under very strict orders as to relig-
ious observances and with respect to
preparedness program against rival
colonists. The first order issued by
the governor was: Every person who
speaks Danish is bound to attend
service every Sunday in Christians
fort when the drum beats, and on fail
