EDITORIAL.

After much disparagement of our re-
cent criticisms of %antiquated legislative
ruIes1which the Tribune started out to
show we're as sound as the ten com,
mandments which is an odious compari
son in view of the mere fact that these
are supposed to be moral and not legal
laws, the same paper in two column
editorial in Yesterdays issue, proceeds
to cite modern authorities as late as
1915 and 1917 which are responsible for
elimination OF the very evils that would
arise from the operations OF the obsn.
lete rules we have condemned. So far
as we are concerned there being no fur
Their occasion for proionging this contro
versy or Of advancing new arguments TO
bolster up our already sound basis Of
reasoning, this subject is considered ex
hausted from Journalistic standpoint.
1t is the duty Of the council to carry on
TIE very desirable efforts for reform
in this respect. The editor Of the Tri-
bune is a member of this august body.

Mr.. Chairman. / think Porto Rico is
foreign to this island. In the legal sense
New York is a foreign place to Balti-
more.
End Member for Chr~istiansted Country
District JackSon): Mr.. Chairman. |
think foreign countries as mentioned in
the ordinance mean foreign flag.
3rd Member for Frederiksted Country
District (AnderSen) remarked: Mr..
Chairman, | really do not see why there
should be any discussion over that Ihi;
is a new act and certainly this Council
has the right to change acts made sixty
years ago.
End Member for Chrjstiansted Country
District (Jack80n): Mr.. Chairman, this
bill does not contemplate repeating the
ordinance creating the immigration Act.
In the absence of a bill repeating the
immigration Act that ordinance stands,
3rd Member for Frederiksted Country
District (AnderseR) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. that ordinance automatically
became non effective when the new
organic Act came into effect, and there
fore these legal arguments are useless.
The bill is under End discussion and the
aDespatcbing Secretary has proposed
amendments, let Us proceed to discuss
the amendments and take action on the
measure
The chairman. 1t is only in the
caption of the ordinance the words ''for-
eign places" are mentioned but in the
body Of the ordinance no mention is
made of that. | will now proceed TO

2ud Member f3r Frederiksted Town
(BrO1U): Mr.. Chairman, suppose the pre-
sent bill before Us was brought in for
the purpose Of regajrjng what is already
spent in bringing in .aborers but that
there was no intention TO import more
lalOrers after the bill was passed, is there
anything in the bill to prevent that?
3rd Appointed Member (Abram8Onj
remarked: Mr.. Chairman, if things con.
tinue that way there will be nothing left
in the immigration Fund. | know that
IabOrers have come into this island from
Porto Rico and two weeks 9fter return to
their island. If that is to continue we
will not have a cent left in the lmmigra-

The Chairman drew members atten-
ton to the fact that the bill Was under
End discussion and asked that the rules
in connection there 10 be observed.
4th Appointed Member (R0bt. w,

money is already spent for bringing in
these laborers; ard too we must not lose
sight OF the fact that sugar cultivation
is benedJing every one in the island, from
the GovernmentliRh down, | think it a
very good idea to bring laborers into the
island.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(Br0w) remarked: Mr.. Chairman, if any
one bring in laboreIs without consulting
this Council ana meets with failure it is
not right for him to come here and ask
for money TO cover his loss. II it is the
intention of the Council to vote for money
to cover individual loss | will not be a
party to that.
The Chairman: Is it not a fact that
every Iaborer brought into this island
even for a month releases labor for some
other employer?
2nd Member Tor ChriStiansted Country
District (Jack8oR,: Mr.. Chairman is
the immigration Fund for the importa-

GUILD ACTORS

The company that comes to

Instead, according to the
Theater Guild. this is a specially
selected cast, and certainly such
players as Pauline Lord, Ralph
Morgan, Harry c. Bannister and
Donald Macdonald, the leading
members of this company, can
not be regarded as inferior TO
any on the American stage today.
That there is nothing to choose
between the company that is to
play here at the National and
the company that has been
giving the drama in New York
is being thoroughly proved this
week when the company that is

Miss Theresa Helburn. execu-

has said that the Strange In

pany in many respects. Prob
ably no play in recent years has
aroused such eager anticipation
in playgoers as Strange Inter-

great length that necessitates be-
ginning the performance at the
novel hour of $50 jim the evening

partly on account of its new
techniques of expressing the in

and mostly on account of its

MEADOW BROOK FOUR
TAKES POLO HONORS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE
Meadow Brook team is the new open
polo champion, but the same game in
which 1t won the title saw it eliminated
from the Monty Waterbury Memorial
Cup tournament. This unusual situation
is explained by the fact that the open
is played on the fiat, while. the Water
bury competition is a handicap affair.
Meadow Brook scored goals to S for
the Army four in yesterdays game on
International Field that served both as
the final OF the open and as the first
round OF the Monty Waterbury. A handi-
cap of five goals gave the Army a 10
to-3 victory in the latter event.
In the other half of the Waterbury
Cup event Tommy Hitchcock's' Sands
Point team reached the final by de-
feating EaStcott, IL to II, in an over
time encounter. The final will be played
at Meadow Brook tomorrow.
Only the long drives of Winston Guest,
young international star, and the speed
OF their ponies saved the Meadow Brook
players from double defeat. The for
mer Yale player was the outstanding
member of his team. which included two
other tnternationalists, John B. Miles
OF Argentina and Malcolm Stevenson.
Despite the loss of their star No. /,
Capt. C. A. Wilkinson, whose jaw was
broken In the preliminary game Tues
day, the Army offered stubborn resist
ance. Lieut.. M. M. Jones was an able
substitute for Wilkinson. Capts. C. H.
Gerhardt, p. P. Rodes and G. E. Huth-
steiner were the other Army players.
Conceding two goals by handicap,
SANDS Point had to overcome a long
lead to win. Five goals in the eighth
chukker tied the score, and Hitchcock
scored the winning tally in l minute 10
seconds of the extra period. Hitchcock
