To the Voters of Chris
t1ansted:

judging from the many public letters
exposes and correspondence and notices
we have seen lately, coupled with the
fact that some officials are now try ing to
make the St. Croix Avis their official
or semi-officiaI organ, instead of the
Herald. Things are certainly not work
ing well in the Labor Union Camp.
Wouldn't it therefore have been bet
ter rolicy that before the President try
to advise others that he put his own
house in order first? If he is to make
the same kettle of fish of the Colonial
Council, and the rest OF St. Croix as
he has done with the Labor Unicn, then
for Heavens sake let us all beware Of
him and his party.
STRAIGHTEN OUT THE UNION
FIRST, then it would be time to expect
the electors to have some confidence in
YOUR leadership. Show US that you are
a man of substance and not a man of
straw, scut out the bluffing. Does any
body really believe that If perchance
Chabert is elected he will remain Presi-
dent of the Labour Union any longer
than is necessary to throw sand in peo-
pies eyes?
Some en- have existed long enough
by trading in the ignorance Of the masses
Is it creditable that they can afford to
ruo their faces with brass and impose
on those that are little bit better in
formed too?

FINAL ELECTION ADVICE.

W S. Abramson and A. Ieytaud are
the men, that uninAuencel and unb-
assad-minded Voters are ~endeavouring
to elect to the Colonial Council to repre-
sent the town and suburbs of Christian
sted. And why so? Because tntre are
sound and substantial reasons for so do.
ing; and we are prepared to stand by
those reasons.
First of all, Abramson has proved to
US during the last four years OF his ser
vice there: that he is a man, determined
to consider and oppose measures that are
against the peoples interest and welfare;
and to look out and introduce and sup
pore that which is for their good and
comfort. Remember how he opposed
the Prohibition Bill. and afterward
moved and helped to repeal the same.
Those we're measures seVerally against
and for u comfort, and nine-tenths of
the Islands population dare not deny
this. Other like important matters too.
But Abramson has not been behindhand
in STEPPING out for the ordinary mans
satisfaction.
Some one in West End News the
other day referred to Bill Abramson as
the man with long legs who travels fast,
h1f he is not only Iong-legged, he is also
broad-shouidered, and when he stands
nm in the Council Hall he creates an i'm
nression, and with his common-sense
talk. especially when he rolls those eyes

Dear SIR

While we admit that Candidates
or their supporters will go far in secur-
ing election to the Colonial Council, we
vehemently condemn everything that
savors Of UNFAIRNESS.
When Mr.. VIM Abramson himself a
candidate, took steps on Tuesday before
closing of the nominations, to enter on
the ticket the names of John Alexan-
der and Andrew De Chahert it is time
that we voters open our eyes and resent
such conduct from one seeking an Office
of great Trust.
The above gentlemen are supporting
strongly two of the Candidates, and if
there were any remedy in the law that
would permit the omission Of their own
names from the ticket they would re-
sort to such remedy.
Mr.. Abramson's object is clear: Some
of the voters would be confused over
the names, Jno. Alexander and Jos
Alexander, C. A. de Chambert and R.
de Chabert. thereby some votes intend
ed for Jos. Alexander would fall on John
Alexander, and votes for r. de Chabert
would fall on G. A. de Chabert, This
would lessen the chances OF the two can
didates in favor of Mr.. w. Abramson
and his "Chum".

MAN IS BLAMED
Oklahoma Minister'S Daughter
Takes Her Own Life.
She Accused State Legislator
'BIackmail," He Declares.

Oklahoma City. May 2S.-County
authorities today planned to investi-
gate the death of Miss Virginia Lloyd,
20, daughter OF a Methodist minister
at Lula, Okla, who was found in a
rooming house here Sunday morning
with two bullet wounds in her breast.
A discharged revolver lay nearby.
Police are convinced it is a case of
suicide. According to their investiga-
ton, Miss Lloyd told Mrs. F. H Mo-
Rarity, proprietor of the rooming
house, shortly before she was found
dead, that she intended to take her
own life, because Representative ]. @.
Denny of the Oklahoma legislature,
with whom she claimed she had been
living intimately, had refused to see
her any more.
Saturday. Miss Lloyd filed a charge
of theft against the legislator, claim
ing he had stolen a beaded bag from
her room. Denny filed a counter
charge of carrying a concealed weap-
on against the girl and characterized
her action as IAN attempt at black
mail"
Miss Lloyd told police she met
Denny at Guymon, her home, five
years ago. She said he brought her
to Oklahoma City several months ago
ad that they had been living together
in an apartment here until a few days
ago when Mrs. Denny arrived. Miss
Lloyd said Denny had represented
himself as a single man and that he
had promised to marry her.

MUST BUY TICKETS OR PAY
Pennsy Attaches Penalty to Payment
of Cash Fares in Future.

Passengers on western railroads
have for years been accustomed to
being penalized by the payment of
excess fare when they boarded a train
without ticket, when facilities for
the purchase of ticket before board
ing the train existed.
This penalty has not been in general
use on eastern railroads, but the
Pennsylvania has announced its in
tention of attaching it hereafter on
lines east of Pittsburgh, Erie, and
Buffalo. The added penalty will be
five cents above the cash fare.
1T is the belief of the management
that when the railroad provides facili-
ties for the sale of tickets, it is not
unreasonable to ask the public to
utilize those facilities. thus saving the
trainmen from stopping to make
change and account for cash fares"
says the Pennsylvania announcement.
Such work always interferes with the
attention the crews are required 20
give in protecting passengers board
ing or leaving trains, particularly at
the frequent stations on suburban
lines.
Thru thoughtlessness and failure
to appreciate the situation, the
tendency of passengers to pay cash
fares, rather than take the trifling
trouble of purchasing a ticket in ad-
vance, has increased greatly in re-
cent years, and now constitutes real
burden on the railroad and the train
crews. In a single year more than
four million passengers on the Penn
sylvania system east of Pittsburgh
paid cash fares in cases in which
tickets could readily have been bought
prior to boarding the trains.
I'm many states, particularly west
of Pennsylvania, measures have al
ready been taken, with the approval
of the regulatiVe commissions, to dis
courage this practice by imposing and
retaining cash penalties.
The new charge is not to be i'm
posed with any desire to produce
revenue. 1t constitutes a measure Of
relief for the train crews.
ut is hoped that the five-cent
penalty will prove adequate to ac-
conplish the result sought, but if it
does not, higher charge may prove
necessary
