Cuba.

Gen. Gomez. defeated candidate for

Key West, Fla, as declaring that he
will not contest the recent election.
He fears the effect on the independence

This shows a change Of purpose on
the part Of Gen. Gomez 1t was re.
ported when he arrived in this coun-
try that his purpose was to ask in.
tervention. on the allegation that the
result at the polls had been obtained
by fraud. This government is differ.
entity advised. and DR.. Zayas. the sue.
cessful candidate, will be seated.
This solution Of the matter is wise
and welcome. The United States has
no desire to intervene in Cuba again
We want to see the island maintain
her independence, first, for her own
sake, and. second, for our sake. We
have problems enough in hand as mat
ters stand. Intervention to prevent
revolution would mean a protracted
stay, and it might mean a permanent
stay. Going in would be much easier
than getting out. Not that we should
want to stay. or that the Cubans. cool
ed of. would object to our leaving
But we should have the fear Of fur
ther trouble in case Of our departure
We are responsible for order in
Cuba, but must have the assistance
"f the Cubans themselves. They look
tn US for guidance in many things
and We may recommend to them oul
prompt acceptance Of election results
and the smooth change Of control from
one party to another.

This occasion comes opportunely.
The President is approaching the time
for changing American representatives
to Central and South American coun.
tries. He wants a high order Of men
for those billets. He wants our rela-

purposes toward them dispelled.
Such misconceptions exist. and have
been multiplied and emphasized by

Political Prisoners and Democracy

Attorney General Daugherty. speak
ing last night in Columbus. Ohio. serv-
ed what may be taken as definite
notice as to his attitude toward the
socalled political prisoners" and to-
ward disloyalists in general. He divides
this .'small portion of our citizenship
into two classes. First. those who
sincerely adhere to Semi-relisious doc
trines which. they claim. preclude
them from obedience To certain of the
laws of the United States. Second.
those who are wilfully disloyal for no
reason other than a fixed desire to
Subvert the existing foundations Of
the nations form of government. Hav
ing made this distinction. Mr.. Daugh-
erty proceeds to his definite policy,
which covers both classes. They must
be brought to a sound understanding"
he says, "or suffer such consequences
as a sound and just government may
in lawful or constitutional manner
mete out to them. We in America
must adhere to the policy that cit
izen must either love his country or
leave it,
That is policy to which a vast
preponderance of American citizens
will wholeheartediy subscribe. The
popular clamOr for an 'AmericaniZa
ton program. at its height during
the year which Immediately followed
the armistice. has. with certain other
of the practical ideals toward which
we were then pressing so eagerly. par
TALLY subsided. There remains. how
ever. fixed in the hearts of millions
Of Americans, the desire that their
government take a firm stand on the
subject of America nization. that a pro-
gram purpOsed to bring every citizen
enjoying the privileges and liberties
of this country to a full realiZat ton
of the binding character of the Obliga-
tions and responsibilities simultane-
ously undertaken be put into effect.
The greater part of such disloyalty
as exists in America results from
misconceptiOn on the part of a small
li.-orty Cf citizens as to the funda-
mental meaning Of democracy. To
them the term implies extreme indi-
vidual liberty. the right of each cit
izen to disagree with the policy of the
state and. disagreeing. to refuse to
comply with laws enacted to put that
policy into effect That belief is false.
Democracy. as the term is used in the
greatest democratic nation Of the
world, means government according to
the majority will Of the people. under
an established Constitution. II the in
dividual is unwilling to conform to
such government in America he must
either go elsewhere in search OF land
which will permit the exercise OF un-
restrained individualism, or be pre-
pared to suffer the consequences when
his selfish idiosyncrasies lead him into
violation Of laws established by the
majority will.
The Attorney General is on the right
track. Pending the adoption of some
definite Americanization program by
the government, the only possible ex-
cuse for releasing such political pris-
oners" as are today under sentence
would be an honest and publicly
avowed change Of heart on their part

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Lonely Sky.

The Lonely Sky.
The lonely sky is not out there
Where the sun shines clear on the
silent air,
Silent except for rustling trees
And the melody Of the wandering
breeze.
Where the stars look down from
depths Of space
As the hours go by with unnoted pace,
In a quietude that is never stirred
BY the empty song or the idle word.
Where the smoke from the chimney
waits to meet
The dust that rises from tireless feet,
Hurrying onward in hope or fear,
Where the song once sweet is a sorry
sneer.
Where you vainly wait through the
hours that run,
For glimpse Of the stars or the
smiling sun.
Mid the feverish crowd that goes
rushing by
Here is. indeed, the lonely sky.

Dear SIR

Dear SIR
In your issue of Wednesday there
appeared an article signed Sam adorned
with prejudice of the blacklist type
against the Labor UF ion.
| only wish to remind the writer that
wherever a large gathering of people
organize to promote their interest and
defend themselves against exploitation,
dissensions among their ranks will arise
from time to time. Discussions arise
among nations and communities, just as
in societies. This does not mean that
misunderstanding or differences be-
tween a group working for the public
destroys the usefulness of that group.
When a mass meeting was held to pro-
test against two District Court judges
for the Virgin Islands, and Mr.. Folmar
Andersen and Lawyer A. E. S%takemann
spoke IN opposition to the Governments
views; when a mass meeting was held to
protest against the building Of a hospital
on the Kings Wharf, also in opposition
to the Governments plan. there was no
thought that the fabrics OF the communi-
ty were destroyed and the Government
OverthroWn. The difference of opinion
between the Government and a certain
section Of the people did not, and could
not be accepted as a "srlit up OF the
community, anymore than we can consid-
err differences between individuals in the
Union as a split up of the Union.
If we lay aside personal feelings and
prejudices and take things on their
merits, is there any that have braved the
dangerous storms as the Labor Union
men. And have not the people of St.
Croix benefited by their unsel6sh princi-
pies?
Chabert pays little heed to unfounded
criticisms, for he knows it is the lot of
all men placed in similar positions. What
would stagger the loudest of our local
politicians hardly moves Chabert; and
what would make other men turn their
backs forever on those they help, cause
him, in his broadness eff mind to realize
that there is much to be done in the way
of uplift.
Such weapons as are thrust against
him by cowardly hands are too ,dull to
cut him down.
He is not a "Bolshevist". He believes
in calm persistence in opposition to direct
action. and with him the interest of the

The number of gas plates in camp,

grading in several places throughout
the camp was urged by Mr.. Smith as
a needed improvement. Leveling of
the ground in many places, he said,
would enlarge the parks capacity by
making greater number of sites
