THE mail arriving from Continent
3 al United States today Brought
a copy Of Senate Bill No. 2765, IN
troduced in the Senate on March 10,
1924, by Senator Nc LEAN OF Con-
necticut By request. This bill is en-
titled: "A Bill to p Divide a Civil
Government for the Virgin Islands,
and for other purposes
Idesire to inform the people Of the
Virgin Islands that the Government
had nothing whatever to do with this
bill; was given no opportunity to
comment upon it prior to its presen-
tatiOn to the United States Senate
and, in fact, knew nothing corcern-
inc it until the printed copy W,s re-
CeNed this morning. Further, nsO-
far as this Government isaWaro, the
rarty or parties who requested Sena-
tor MCLEAN to introduce this bill act
cd without the consent and approx
al of the people inasmuch as the
people as represented by the two
Colonial Councils have not signifed
a desire for a complete change in
the form of government Of these
islands.
The danger Of legislation con
corning the Virgin Islands being
introduced in the Federal Congress
without official backing is only too
apparent. Would not this bill, if
enacted, endanger the Federal ap-
preparation now made for the is
lands? Porto Rico, from whose Or
ganic Act this bill is largely copied,
receives no direct Federal appcc-
priation.

Governor.

TT Can't BE Done

When you see an editor who pleases
everybody, he will be under glass and
he won't be standing up, says an ex-
change. To which might be added, if
you see an editor who tries to please
everybody, you see a nincompoop who
ought to be under glass with six feet
of soil on top.-Levang's Weekly.
The editor who boasts that he
hasn't an enemy in the world ought
to be eternally ashamed of himself.
The chances are he hasn't much else.
Over in Iowa an editor boosted of the
fact that he had been running a pa
per twenty years and never made an
enemy. When he tried to be appointed
postmaster not soul would write a
letter for him.

Today

I've shut the door on yesterday,
It's sorrows and mistakes;
I've locked within its gloomy walls,
Past failures and heart aches,
And now l throw the key away
To seek another room,
And furnish it with hopes and smiles
And every spring-time bloom.
No thought shall enter this abode
That has hint of pain;
And envy, malice and distrust
Shall never entrance gain.
I've shut the door on yesterday,
And thrown the key away
Tomorrow holds no fears for me,
Since l have found today
Selected.

LIFE AM READY

Life-I am ready,
My tears are SPENT
Grief is so futile,
So vain lament.
Life-I am ready;
Come whatever will;
I have met the Comforter
Out upon the hill.
Out in the clean winds
His voice l heard.
Sorrow makes one more keen
To catch His word.
Let not your heart be troubled"
The winds breathed it low.
And now l understand
And now 1 know
Life-I am ready,
Not baffled and dismayed.
1 met him on the highest hill
No more am l afraid.
A heart for any fate is mine.
There were thorn prints on His
brow,
And nail scars on His tender hands!
Life-I am ready now

Performance Proves
Negro a Born Actor

The singularly fine performance of
the role of Jim Harris that Robson
gave recently in Eugene O'Neills All
Gods Chillun Got Wings brings still
further positive testimony to the the
DRY that the black man is far better
fitted naturally for the profession of
acting than his white brother.
That the Caucasian more often ac-
tually triumphs over the Ethiopian on
the stage is small lanswer to the the
DRY since, so far as that kind of argu-
ment goes, the fact that the Cauca-
sian more often triumphs over the
Ethiopian in the profession of sill
diery similarly does not indicate that
the former is by nature better fight
er than the latter. 1t simply indi-
Gates, as the more frequent success
of the white actor indicates, that the
white man is more susceptible to di-
rection and training, and more indus
trious, than the black man
