"As long as these facilities We're in
demand, st. Thomas was a fairly pros
porous island. Men and women alike
found it easy to get employment, at
least for a part of the time, at what
was to them a living wage, which was
l per cent per basket of coal, weighing
from SO to 100 pounds. Some carried
as many as two or three hundred bas-
kets during the four or five hours re
quired to coal q ship. When not doing
this work, they found considerable en-
ployment discharging coal from freight
ers which brought it to St., Thomas.
But then came the war in Europe
and all was changed. The steamships of
Germany, which made continual use
of the harbor of st. Thomas, were driv

was business and enterprise, only now

This history of the Danish West In
dies is fun of interest. Columbus found
St Thomas inhabited by Caribs and
Arawaks in 1898. In 1867 a colony Of
Dutch settlers occupied the island; but
when they heard of New Amsterdam,
now New York, they left il to become
part OF the new colony with such a
remarkable future ahead of it. The
English came to ST. Thomas next, but
in 1906 1t was formally taken over by
the Danish crown. In 1864 the King of
Denmark took the government into his

RULING GIVES JUDGE TAYLOR
HIS SALARY INCREASE
By GENE BYRNES

Oklahoma City, Aug. 20.-In deciding
the case involving the payment of in
creased salaries to members of the
state supreme court and the state in
dustrial commission, District Judge
Clark of Oklahoma city ruled that no
members of the supreme court can
properly receive $500 as their month
ly salary under the act of the recent
legislature which raised them to S6,'
600 "A year, because of the prohibition
in the section of the constitution which
provides that the salary Of no elective
or appointive officer shall be changed
during his tenure of office.
Judge Clark held that in the case
of Judge Baxter Taylor, member of
the state industrial commission, ne is
entitled to the increase of salary pro
vided by the last legislature for the
reason that he did not take office until
after the enactment of the measure by
which the pay of members of the com
mission was increased.

Extend Food control Law.

ExtcHO + oOQ SOHliSi Law
Let me urge in the first place that
the present food control act should be
extended both as to the period of
time during which 1t shall remain in
operation and as to the commodities
to which it shall apply. It's provis-
ions against boarding should be made
to apply not only to food but also to
feed-stuffs, to fuel, to clothing, and to
MANY other commodities which are in
djsputably necessaries Of life. AS it
stands now it is limited in operation
to the period of the war and becomes
upon the formal proclama-
ton of peace. But should Judge that
it was clearly within the constitution
al power OF the congress to make SIM
liar permanent provisions and regula-
tons with regard to all goods destined
for interstate comm cree and to exclude
them from interstate shipment if the
requirements of the law are not COM
piled with. Some regulation is imper-
atively necessary The abuses that
have grown up in the manipulation OF
prices by the withholding of foodstuffs
and other necessaries of life cannot
otherwise be effectively prevented
There can be no doubt of either the
necessity or the legitimacy of such
measures. May / not call attention to
the fact, also, that, although the pres
ent act prohibits profiteering, the pro-
