HERE AND THERE

THE PATHFINDER says the origin
of the term 'shinplaster" GATES back to
the Civil war when the nam was applied
to- paper money of any kind, especially
to; Fractional parts of a dollar. The name
is said TO be derived from the act of /:
soldier in the Revolutionary war who
used a quantity ,sof paper currency as
plasters for a wounded leg.
In reference to- citizenship of the Vir-
gin islanders, the Pathfinder states:
Such small outlying possessions as Vir-
gin Islands will probably never be ad-
mitted as states, but they may have
qualified representation at Washington,
as Hawaii etc. now do. People of islands
do not share in electlng president"
From the foregoing the impression ap-
p5ars to be given that Virgin Islanders
are citizens of the u. S. only without
privilege to vote for president a sort of
minister without portfolio.
