correspondence

To The E}jtor Of the ST. Croir Avis,
Dear Sir,
1t was with great pleasure
that | read some time last month in your
valuable paper that the Christiansted
CooOeratlve Dairy had fixed the price of
fresh butter at 60 cents per pound.
Prior to this change, when the price
stood at 65 cents per pound could al
WAYS obtain from this valuable institu-
ton nv small portion Of butter, viz: Is
or even Toe. worth. To-day with the
drop in price, | am deDarred from pur-
chasing my butter there, for the reason
that | am told, We don't sell less than
half a pound.
Now Mr.. Editor, this rule might work
all right with the man of means. but
when it is remembered that we are a
very poor community and there are hum
dreds who, like myself. cannot afford
to put out 80 cents at a time for one
article, this rule seems to me quite un-
called for, except it was made for the
purpose OF keeping out the poor.
Wig can not q quarter Of q pound be
sold for Is cents
Trusting that those concerned will take
the poor into consideration and revoke
this drastic order. and thanking you Mr..
Editor for space,
| beg to remain.
yours truly.

REPENTANCE.

~CFN'N O@'S - ~
is at hand. Bring forth therefore tTu2tS
n1eeUor repentance Mat 3: 2. 8.
In studying the life Of John the baptist
we find that his chief message was on
REPENTANCE. 1t is extremely lmp0r-
tant for US to give the most earnest heed
to the above portions Of Scripture, be-
cause, Cd. they point the only way or
forgiveness: ~, they argue the only con-
dition of baptism; and (3), they guaran-
tee the only and true recommendation
to church membership.
We shall now consider the first virtue
of Repentance. Before doing SO howeve"
let me briefly define the word: Webster
says "a sorrow for sins, and Paul calls
it Cody SORROW" Man has tined to
find the way back 70 God from the first
transgression in the Garden Of Eden and
inspired record proves concIusIveIy that
the Oniy means provided was through
the shedding of blood which man by
faith therein presented TO God Win penl-
tance for whatever sins he committed.
All the blood shed before Chris was
born in the fish was only typical OF Him
the Lamb Slain from the foundation OF
the world. Hence man does noJ now
have TO produce a sacrifice. This IS al,
ready provided and is etfectual for all
who repent and believe. My purpose
for mentioning this is that many claim
since Christ has paid 1t all they have
nothing to do and some day they viii be
saved without any effort Of their own.
But reader, you must repent now OF all
your sins, and by faith the work Of Cal
vary will be beneficial to you, or else, it
willavail you nothing, We must frankly
seeour guilt and confess same and He has
promised to forgive US and cleanse US
fro n all unrighleOusnrSS.
The next thing we bring to your notice
is that repentance is the only condition
of baptism. There is reason also for
this statement. Many believe that we
baptiza persons with the idea that his
ordinance saves them or m4kes them A
christian as yJu would better understand
it. Not ST., baptism must always be
preceded by evidences of conversion. 10
giving the commission to his diclpte' Je-
sus said He that believeth and is bap-
tized shall be saved. A person cannot
truly believe he is I forgiven until ne has
genuinely repented. Neither can he be
baptized until he With heart believes
unto salvation, and with mouth makes
confession thereof. "
The last point we would touch in this
subject is that church membership should
be conditioned by repentance. Inc men
ton | made that persons who we know
are immoral are denied membership in
the mission seemed peculiar 10 some.

VOTES ON BOX PLAN

Over 500. .000 votes on the Box peace
 plan had been cast up to the middle of February. Eighty-sevcn per cent
 favored the plan. In this state ont oi
 some f0,254 votes. 9.057 were flor and i,207 against" The state which
 showed the smallest majority in favor was Wisconsin, with soil against and over twice that number in favor. Wis consin and the war,
 Again there step forward the few remaining people and groups and publications which shudder at the thought of an attempt to gain univcr- sal, lasting peace through any plan that will include the Influence Of the United States. Again they cry loudly that the election of the late Preside Tt Harding was not only q denunciation of fhe League of Nations. but also convincing evidence that the people Of this country wanted nothing to do with any arrangements for peace that would be participated in by other na- fiens. studiously they avoid reference to the late President Harding. then candidate Harding. when in that cam paign he pledged the republican party to a plan for approaching other na- tions with a view 10 forming a world association for inc establishment of peace. They have forgotten, purpose E. the fact that strong influences were at work at that time. publicly at work. to keep this policy alive. These op- ponents of any such plan refuse to see that this very promise clouded the League Of nations issue and lcft the average voter with the conviction that such association. bringing peace. would come even though the League af Nations. exactly as the covenant was then written. did not appeal to them. They, these narrow. short sighted people. do not see that. words CT no words. the longing Of the Amer jean people for peace, necessarily coming through international under standing, was alive in 1920 and has grown stronger and stronger as the spectacle of EBrops's struggle since tlle war has been burned into their brains

ing vote in favor of some peace plan, good, mediocre or faulty has as evil dence of the desire of the people, by resorting to the childish argument that probably many people favoring the Box plan voted more than once. Tt is quite possible" they say in ef- feet. that violent advocates of the terrible League of Nations voted more than once. And so, of course, the vote means nothing" Were one to descend to the level of this argument it would be easy to recall the flash in the eyes of Senator Modill Mccormick, for in- stance. as he spoke one day in the privacy of his office to personal friend, and denounced the League of Nations. It would be easy to imagine that violent opponents of the assoeia- tion of league idea. with flashing. angry eyes, voted many, many times against any such plan--and yet, out of all the votes cast duplicated or not, only 13 per cent opposed the plan.
 Those who long for peace are not good haters; they are not the dishon- est of the world. The violent are chief ly to be found among men who allow clouds of prejudice, partisanship and hatred to obscure the glorious goal of peace for which all clear visioned, right thinking men and women long.

URGES COOPERATION
Haynes Calls Upon Meli-to-do People To Observe Dry Laws And Thus Set Good Example.

Chicago, Feb, 1S.--A plea for great CT cooperation of law enforcement agencies in administering the Solstead part of the people, especially the "well-to-do and influential citizens" as an example to the others and to aliens was made by Prohibition Commls- sioner Haynes in an address today be- tore the citizenship conference.
 Mir. Haynes referred to the action of Mayor Deyer in cleaning up the wet spots in Chicago as n demon- stration Of the efficacy of proper correlation of local and federal off cials," and declared the work done in Chicago and Philadelphia lis but an illustration of what can be done in the most difficult sections when an honest, sincere cooperative effort at enforce ment is made"
 ''lt is beginning to be realized,' he declared. that the responsibility for enforcement is a joint responsibility"
 Mir. Keynes characterized 'the we'll to.do and influential" citizens as the more dangerous Of non observers, anu ht Naa hob 5o hiutii tuHetiHta' he said, about the problem of liquor consumption among the other classes, since the bootleggers boast that their clientele Is from among the elite" If these ''so-called leaders, feel them- selves above the law, he added. they become just as dangerous to the life of the nation as the most undesirable types which burrow from beneath and seek to undermine it from below"

BUTLER ADMITS HE IS
 BEING CLOSELY WATCHED
"One Drink And I'm Goner," He Says, Commenting On Being
 Shadowed

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. is. - Di- rector of Public Safety Butler would not elaborate today upon assertions he made yesterday that he and Mayor kendrick were being shadowed by operatives of a private detective agency in an effort to get something on the administration.
 If I ever take one drink, I'm a goner." the general declared And if the mayor ever touches drop, he's q goner, too, and the whole admins tration. Whenever I leave the office, q man picks up my trail. When Mayor Kendrick went to Pittsburgh, he was shadowed every step of the way there and back. ..
 "The same people responsible for this, have learned, sent word around the day l took office that s100,00o would be paid the man or woman who would furnish conclusive proof of lapse on my part from the straight and narrow path"
 The general added that "one would be surprised to know the sources of the matter, They are respected in this city" he asserted. ''and with whose business we are daily interfer- ing. They are the men who thought the police never could touch them"

Every loyal New Britain man and woman, whether he or she knows | golf stick from a baseball bat, ought to feel that it will be real boost for the city to have held here the annual championship tournament of the Con- nneticut Golf association June g to 2s. Such announcement has been made. The city would not have been selected if the golf course of one of the organizations ot the city was not just about as fine Il course as any in the state: the city would not have been selected if ii did not attract as q city Ii has and il does. so there you are. AS to the people who will attend that tournament from all over tho state, both players and spectators, the gallery as the golfers and those who think they are. call such bunch which follows the players. such people will be representative men, and some women, from all over the state. They will not all be bloated or any other sort of bondholders, it is true, but as q general run they will be pretty suh- stantial people who have found. in sometimes strenuous exercise in the open air.

As the years pass goif's popu- larity is extending, and the growing appreciation that fl is an absolutely democratic game. where the wealthy employer gains tremendous respect for fhe employe who can not afford now ball every timp he drives off provided the employe can outdrlye the employcr-h has tended 10 Americanizc thp old Scotch pastime. There is not the slightest question but that, eventu- ally. every city in the United States will have q municipal golf course, and when such times comes it will increase the span of life many years. AS today the little chaps in the city arc waiting eagerly for the time when they will be able 10 knock a golf bah around the vacant lots as we'll as enjoy tho great game Of baseball, so there are waiting millions of adults, those who play on public links and those who are members of golf clubs eager for the time to come when they will be able 10 get out into the open and play the game.

nENRY RESIGNS

Last week the oil Investigating com
 mittee took recess for ten days. To-
 day comes the resignation of Secretary
 of the Navy Denby. Connect the two
 facts if you like: declare that there is
 no connection if that is your inelina-
 tion. The fact remains that with the
 halting of routine business by the
 committee came the chance for in-
 formal, man-to- man talks; the chance
 to decide what was best for the party the republican party--and tho chance to use gentle persuasion to save President Coolidge and candidate for the republican nomination Cool idge from q very distressing position. It will be interesting to note what other developments come in the recess of the investigation committee as it will be interesting to note what the attitude of that committee will be when il resumes it's work.
 Grant that President Coolidge took the proper course when, quoting the precedent previously laid down and followed by former President Cleye- land, he refused to be dictated to by the senate and refused to aeqriesce in its prejudgmnnt of Secretary Dcnby by resolution. Grant that jealous guarding of the prerogatiscs of a president prompted his refusal to re- move the secretary immediately, as we'll as desire to grant the official his day in court. Give to President Coolidge the highest motives for his act. And having done this consider the man. Denby his popularity. his reputation for being a man of integri- ty
 President Coolidge knew Secretary Denby thoroughly He know that a man so well liked personally was because ha was not the sort Of man to place in Il predicament one who had stood by him. President Coolidge had stood by him. What would President Coolidge expect of such q man. a man ol whom all his official associates speak well when dis- eussing his personal qualities? Could President Coolidge or anyone else ex- pect that such a man would return evil for good? Would the president expect that, after he had refused to .ake action against him Secretary Denby would remain stubborn in the acc of general disapproval and fail to 10 the thing which. when all is said md done. returns the favor the prest- i lent did him? Hardly!
 Secretary Denby's action is abso- utoly in character. Ii sustains his -eputation for being good fellow. And that is exactly what wise poli- icians. keen students of human na- | tire. expected he would do. President Coolidge is a keen politician.

MAYOR DISPLEASED BY
 NEW SALARY DISCUSSION
Finance Board Has Already Complet- cd Work On Budget, Paonessa
 Points Out r

Chairman A. r. Eiehstaedt of the common council committee on sal- aries has called meeting of the com mittee for tomorrow evening at s o'clock to consider the wisdom of presenting an entire new set of salary recommendation at Wednesday eve ning's council meeting. The chairman explains that general displeasure has been expressed at the councils action on salaries this year.
 Mayor Paonessa expressed surprise and disapproval when he was inform ed that such a meeting has been called. The finance board has already settled upon the amount to be spent on salaries this year and if increases are voted an oyerdraft cannot be avoided unless the budget is gone over or some jobs are done away with.
 Last year a similar condition arose. The council voted an increase to the clerk of courts and the mayor dis missed a male clerk in the office of the board of assessors to make up the money necessary to pay the increase.
