NO VIRGIN ISLANDS STAMPS

Decision has been reached by the POST
master General that regular United States
issues of postage stamps are to be used
IN our newest colonial possession, Virgin
Islands, formerly the Danish West Indies
Until as late as the fourth week in April
n definite announcement was not forthcom-
ing, although an official order issued earlier
forecast that the islands acquired were
not to have Il special series of postal labels
as in the case of the Philippines Instead
our postal laws and regulations We're
amended so as to extend the domestic rates
of postage and conditions to mail exchanged
between the Virgin Islands and the United
states and its other possessions" Mean
while all Danish West Indies STAMPS cont
standing In the hands or the public" are
recognized for payment of postage on mat
ter mailed In the Virgin Islands
The philatellc world was surprised wben
the name Virgin Islands was selected for
the new colony. The reason for this 10
That some of the islands contained i'm the
group as originally discovered and named
by Columbus now belong TO Great Britain
and bear the name Inasmuch as the stamns
in use in the British possession contain the
name Virgin Islands without a word like
British to distinguish the colony from the
American Islands, it is expected some
change Will be soon made in the jnscrin-
tion on the British stamps, which, of course
would mean new series.

VENTILATION OF CARS

TO the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Slr-The printed slips recently exhibited
in all the street cars enjoinlng ventilation
of each was an excellent thing. Was that
the reason these slips were withdrawn?
The average street-car conductor does
not seem to care whether his car is VEN
tilated or not, and ] regret to say the aver.
age passenger seems to feel about the same
way. The old silly tale of our grand
mothers days that disease and death lurll
in what is called draft" still prevails
and still has it's believers, and it required
almost as much moral courage to lift a
street-car window and let in Gods sum
shine and air as 1t does to wear a straw
hat on April 2S Yesterday i tried 1t, and
"A big lSO-pound man looked so fiercely at
me that almost felt as though i had COM
mitted crime.
The remedy lies with the Rapid Transit
Company. 1t can have the so-called venti-
lators continually open by simply afiixing
a solitary screw to each. Why doesn't 1t do
so, or why is 1t not compelled to?

MANIA FOR SUPPRESSION

TN ENGLAND, NorthCliffe ignoring
i censorships, hurled his thunder against
bureaucratic bungling and lifted the
empire from the trails of sure defeat,
In France regulations and great names
have made way for efficiency. No eN'
cuses go. The man best fitted for the
immediate job is given that job because
public opinion sees that he gets it.
In America the present executive Of
ficers of the Government We're selected
for work in time of peace, under ordi.
nary conditions. The whole history of
human affairs beies the assumption that
all of them will be able to fill their new
shoes. 1t is a moral certainty that some
of them must go for the good Of the
country.
How will the nation know which ones
ought to so if the press permits itself
to be coerced into news or editorial
silence? 1t Is publicity that drives men
TO their best endeayors. 1t is publicity
that drives incompetents into obscurity.
1t is publicity on which democracy de.
pends for its success.
A mania for suppression has fastened
itself on some public officials and on some
private citizens who happen to be doing
public work. But we do not envy the
man or men who set themselves to keep
the American public in ignorance of
things they ought to know. They will
wake up to find that even their mem
cries have been blotted out.

MONROE DOCTRINE OBSOLETE

To the Editor Of the EreninG Lcdgcr:
Sr-Withn the last century probably more
progress has been made in the worlds civili-
zation and in science and invention than
W; 8 ever made in five centuries preceding.
In this evolution many old forms, laws
and usages necessarily became obsolete. In
other words, with a universal world inter
course. as now established, as against con.
ditons 100 years ago, no century-old policy
or precept made by any country should he
still considered just and proper unless pres
ent conditions will be best conserved by an
adherence thereto.
50 in our present situation, as a country
at war with Germany and her allies. Away
back in the times OF the Kishineff atroc-
ties and other various outrages against
| humanity and civilization, we, the people
of the United States, through the public
press, expressed our horror and that is all
we did that-amounted TO anything.
Why? Because our flag was so obscured
by the cloud of the cherished Monroe Doc
trne," that cherished and medieval heir
loom so dear to the hearts of our great and
austere Senators. that other nations felt Sc
cure in ignoring the latent power that was
waiting to be unleashed on this Western
Hemisphere. But when, at last righteous
indignation and humane instinct could no
longer forbear we took upon ourselves the
burden of fighting side by side with our
new allies the battle to redeem the Eastern
Hemisphere from militarism, barbarism and
fanaticism and put the whole world on Il
basis of civilization and democracy.
To accomplish theGe ends. the Monroe
Doctrine must of necessity become obsolete
Alliances must be made, and they must be
so comprehensive as to embrace all those

Their peoples strifes forgotten stjIled

And everywhere beneath their folds

QUIT PIDDLING! GET BUSY!

YrHE President yesterday summoned
l. leaders of the House and Senate TO
the White House and persuaded them
we trust, OF the criminality of piddling
and dawdling at this time. Our money
and our blood can easily be squandered
by delay
For days the House and Senate con-
ferees have been trying to get together
on an army selection measure which
ought to have been definitely decided on
within a few hours. There has been
plenty of speed in appropriating money,
but money alone will not win the war.
There are matters in which time is the
great big essential, as shipbuilding.
Delay is the difference between victory
and defeat
Congress is not lacking In patriotism,
but it is certainly lacking in appreciation
of the urgency of required legislation.
II the President can hurry along neces-
sary enactments SO much the better for

THE COAL GOUGE
Editor Of the EUcning Ledger;

TO The EditOr Of the ECcning Ledger:
Sir-Thanks to the LEDGERs for the
splendid kick they are making in behalf
of the people against the high price of coal.
The best that the individual can do is to
cry heplessly that something be done, and
at best the cry is a futile one. But when
Il great newspaper takes the stand on the
subject that the LEDGERs have taken the
outlook Is certainly more hopeful
II is of no use for the dealers to try to
hide behind their law of supply and de-
mand," so called. The supply of coal is
plenty and the demand has been carefully
created by the dealers in their clever adver-
tising campaign, which warned us to buy
early and much.
II will take wonderful arguments and
juggling of figures by the dealers to eX-
plain away the difference of approximately
$3.50 between mine prices plus transporta-
tion and the retail prices.
