Editor AU9s.

Sir -:
Kindly allow me space for a word
0 thanks and praise to our young and
esteemed townsman mir. Jos. Alexander
through whose untiring energy we have
achieved what for years has apparently
been deemed an impossibility. Year in
a out we have heard our merchants
complain about the expense and incon-
v~enience suffered through having their
goods shipped to Frederiksted, yet no.
one seemed to4lase had the courage or
ability to cause a change. We now have
the steamers of a rich and extensive line
calling direct 20 our port, all through Mr..
A~iexander's tact and courage. This has
been a great achievement. and | think he
deserves the faithful cooperation of mer-
chants, consumers and the general popu-
lation of Christiansted and its adjacent
district.
No one should make the occasion of an
unfortunate accident as that which be-
fellthe Kathadin, an object Of profiteer-
ing and thereby help to undo the good
work Mr.. Alexander has done.
1t is hoped that those in whose hands
the power to remove the cause of such
accidents es will give the matter speedy
attention, and that every one, merchants,
lghterowner and managers, lighter
men, norters etc. etc. will. whenever
occasion calls, stand shouldersto should
ar with the young agent an give
him the necessary assistance, remember
ing his efforts and success have been for
the general welfare. Let them waive
their personal and individual profits at
such times.
This achievement goes on record in
the history of St. Croix. Older heads
ought to feel a bit ashamed and get busy
along other lines. Let all inducements be
offered the ships to continue their calls
and Mr.. Alexander feel that his efforts
have been appreciated.
1t is sproverbial here that whenever
any project is considered. everyone has
some say, but almost everyone fears to
make an attempt. When, however,
some one having sufficient courage and
stamina goes forward and is successful
every body is pleased and happy. But
woe to the poor fellow if danger threat
ems Every man becomes a hare and in
less time than. it takes to tell is in full
flight.
Such is not the cooperation desired

ABANDONING THE PLUMB PLAN.

Discussing the subject Of railroad
legislation, the New York World
quotes an unnamed labor leader
whose mamie has been used extensively
on literature devoted to the Plumb
propaganda
ITO be entirely frank said this
leader, ssthose who let loose a lot of
strike talk erred. They made the
same mistake those who talk COM
pulsory arbitration. and Jail for those
who strike are making. You can't
tell people they must work any more
than We can get results by making
threats the sane majority know can
mot be made good. Sc much for that.
ut is a mistake also, to think Of
compulsory arbitration as a panacea
for strikes. 1t has been tried on a
large scale. 1t has failed. It was
, hailed as the great idea when it first
came out of the Antipodes. Since its
adoption there they have had the
worst strikes in their history:
The Plumb plan agitation was a
mistake. Nominally, I have been for
the plan. Actually it has never ap-
pealed to the = railroad men. Why?
Because they are practical men-it
takes a practical man to u a loco
motive or a train or a switching yard.
What our people are interested in is
the contents of the pay envelope.
!. Give them a fair break there, and they
are willing to let somebody else have
the worries and the rewards of ewn-
ership and, management.
What we have got to do is to try
and work out the best bill possible.
Such a bill will not contain anti
strike clauses. 1t will. however, al
least we hope it will. contain pro-
visions for machinery that will make
easier the adjustment of any matters
that may become the subject Of dis
! putes." Fl

BySA vote OF 326 to 8 Victor Berger
has Sgam been denied \ seat In tho
national house OF Representatives to
which he was recently elected by q
majority OF those who voted at-the re-
cent special election In Milwaukee.
The action was expected, as was tho
prompt action Of the Milwaukee So
eialiss In nominating him for the
third time in succession AND taking
stepa 10 ask for another special cleo
ton. q
Co-ngressrnan Mann, of Illinois, was
one Of the six who voted for the
seating Of Berger. He urged that the
applicant be seated because the peo-
plo of his district have elected him
twice. BY what process of reason
ing MI. Mann reached the concludon
that the repeated election OF an unfit
maj entitled that man to q o from
which he had been debarred because
IF personal unfitness is something OF
D mystery; but politics is full of myD-
teries which no man can fathom.
Berger was not excluded because
he was q member of a particular po-
litical party. He was not excluded
because a Jury had convicted him OF
crime. He was excluded because he
had committed acts OF deliberate hos
tility toward the American govern
ment, and those acts were OF such q
grave nature that, regardless Of what
the decision might be as to their le-
gality or illegality, N the opinion OF
nearly all Of the member5 OF the
houpe, they rendered him an unfit
man to occupy a seat in one OF the
lawmaking bodies of the nation. It
was a case Of individual unfitness as
demonstrated by proven individual
acts, and if Berger yer to be elected
. thousand times, his personal fit
hess. would not be affected n iota.
A different. situation exists in New
York state, where seats in the state
assembly have been denied five men
on the sole ground, apparently, that
they are members Of the Socialist
party. 50 distinguished a jurist as
Charles f. Hughes holds that this. act
Of exclusion is in violation of the
principles Of democracy, and he urges
that the excluded men be seated.
Obviously, if these men have per-
sonally been guilty Of words or acts
amounting to sedition, they have no
place in any American legislature.
And with every respect for The opin-
ions Of Judge Hughes, it seems that
the public declarations OF a political
party must have some bearing on the
personal fitness Of a candidate nom
mated by that party and standing on
It's platform. That the Socialist party
in the United States is a seditious
organization is demonstrated very
clearly in its st. Louis resolutions,
which. SO far as we know, have lever
been amended or r~epudiated.
