vantage in favor Of McAdoo. II there
Is an advantage.
This Is the way It looks early Fri.
day morning. The only reason that
the advantage seems to lie with NC
Adoo as against the field is that the
McAdoo opposition has not been able
to agree upon anyone with whom to
oppose him.
For forty-eight hours the leaders Of
the opposition have been striving to
compose their difference, realizing
that unless they succeed in doing so
nothing can prevent McAdoo's nomi-
nation. Practically every man whose
name has been mentioned in connec-
ton with the nomination has been
considered at the many anh-McAdoo
conferences. 'l
One Of the first names considered
was that Of Vice President Marshall.
Then Champ Clark was taken up.
They we're both dropped as not being
able to command and hold sufficient
strength. Finally Ambassador Davis,
Of West Virginia. and Homer Cum
mings, chairman Of the National COM
mittee seemed to be the best two in
sight. Davis on account Of his rec
ognized ability and closeness to the
President, and Cumming because OF
his large personal following amNg
the members of the National commit-
tee and the delegates.
Thev are still being considered and
there Is a lot Of talk in places where
talk Is not merely words that II Nc
Adoo Is stopped and the convention
deadlocked. the deadlock will be brok-
en- with either Davis or Cummings.
But It Is perfectly apparent that the
anh-McAdoo people are not at all
sure on their ground and that their

emphatic assertions that they control
enough votes to prevent McAdoo's
nomination are based more upon their
hopes than their expectations.
On the other hands the McAdoo peo-
pie would feel a good deal more cer-
tain Of success than they do II they
knew exactly where the two hundred
votes are coming from after the third
ballot. They are banking on getting
a majority on this ballot. Their theory
Is that once McAdoo has secured a
majority the desire to get aboard the
band wagon will do the rest.
The fifth ballot is what they are
figuring on in their talks for effect,
but It is doubtful whether they are
really as confident as they claim to
be. One Of the curious reactions from
the furious drive. which the McAdoo
people have been making during the
past forty-eight hours Is the thick
fog which envelopes the candidates.
Of Cox and Palmer. The Cox people
are not submitting to the elimination
Of their candidate without a game eff
fort to prevent It. They reject with
scorn the indirect suggestion that they
take second place on the ticket and
helm put McAdoo over" Cox Is a can
didate for president, not vice presi-
dent" Is their emphatic answer. They
add that the McAdoo boom is largely
wind and that when 1t Is debated. as
1t Will be after few ballots. Cox has
as good a chance as a. one else.
The Palmer people seem to be far
more humble and to have accepted
the inevitable. the inevitable being
the impossibility OF Palmers nomina-
ton. Their attitude has caused q re-
vival Of the story that Palmer has new
er been q serious candidate for the
nomination but entered the list to
hold together a certain block Of dele
gates to be handed at the right time

CELEBRATION BY THE "FREDER,
lKSTED CENTURY BRASS BAND"
OF THE LIQUIDATION OF THEIR IN
DEBTEDNESS TO THE BANK.
GALA EVENT ON oval"

A day of sunshine followed by an eve
ming with Luna" CLEAN ng in all her
glory, yesterday, July 18th. marked the
celebration of the liquidation of the in
debtedness to the bank OF the Century
Brass Band.
AS they appro Oh the bird year of
their labor and service to the public, let
US cast a retrospective glance on the con-
dition of the band at that time.
We find a few ambitious men and boys
gathered toge. her, with practically no
means and still worse no encouragement,
for ing an institution for the entertain
ment of the general public.
At this time we find Frederiksted with
out any organization of this kind. At
tempts had several times been made. but
failure followed each. Lack of interest
in the very ones who volunteered to help
continually showing itself was the cause
of these sad breakdoWns.
In those days the brass bands of
Christianstad visited our little town
ard spread musical cheer among the
otherwise dull folks, but their Wis
its were costly and were consequent
ly few and far between. The need of
our own became apparent and the little
band realised the fact hat to depend
on the help of others was but to die.
They desired contributions Of the
community, so as to be able 70 procure
instruments.
The cost Of them however, exceed
ed by far the amount contributed and
ended in the band becoming indebted
to the bank for the sum of several hun

Dear Sir

Dedr Sir

fortunate for all, except myself, that
| am not. | have due regard for the
clergy, On this drink question, it is no
part Of their official duty to make their
congregation good by legislation. We
believe that the people Of St, Croix can
govern themselves, and think for them
selves, without the assistance of any
supernatural power. Il. G. the ctergy.) We
believe hat the Colonial Council is
the rightful source of authority. This
legislative body have determined what
is politically right, aud their legally ex-
pressed will is the supreme law. This
leaves no room for special privileges to
people who are members of religious So
c]ieties, or supernatural beings. This
matter is outside of, and beyond the
horizon Of their authority. There is no.
thing in the Constitution of the United
States to justify this religious imperti-
nence.
What the Clergy ought 10 10, is TO get
back of all their nld-rum-soaked drunk
ards andre orm them. The clergy cannot
make their people good by legislation. The
law can punish them for being bad. When
the people learn that the clergy men are
the blessed ones" that prevented them
having their booze, they the people will
retaliate by not attending the Churches:
and next we will have legislation to en-
force the people to attend churches =?
Then there would be laws against bias
/ henry, avs against the publication Of
letters and articles like this fer instance.
Our little St. Croix would be filled with
theological spies, with religious evesdrop-
pers, and all the snakes and reptiles of
the lowest natures in this mOonshine of
religious authority would uncoiI and
crawl.
No man has a right to set himself up
as the moral standard Of all the commu-
nifty, or Of any part of the commun ty
except himself. As far as this drink
question go, every man so far as per
som acts that do not include any acts of
laWlessness are concerned, should be the
guardian Of his own morals.
1t was never intended that the law
should lay down the rules that should
constitute a good man, and say that all
men should live up to those rules. That
never was the intention of lawmakers.
But with the prohibition law" the w.
trG Theolog2aN have abandoned that kind
OF legislation. 1t was the legislation that
resulted in whipping people at the tail Of
the cart, placing them in stocks, brand
ing them upon the hands etc. That was
the kind Of legislation under which some

set themselves up as the censors of the
morals of rhe people. ! thought that age
had passed. | suppose every year, &C
cording to the temper of nations, we
shall see new prohibitions and %restric-

laws, he wishes to destroy the liberty Of
the people, he wishes that he should be
recognized as the source of authority, to
the end hat the Church may become the
supreme power.
