AKEAD OF TIME!
How One St. Croix Woman Showed Her
Good Will To Others.

Although in a formal and official way
the Roll Call of the Red Cross did not
begin until Monday, yet it had an in
formal and unofficial opening one day
last week in a manner most gratifying
to the st. Croix Chapter and one from
which the happiest of auRuries is taken.
1t happened that the Red Cross agent
was on an errand of mercy at Estate
Csncordia, in the West Erd, and while
she was ministering to a sick woman in
the village a woman living in the next
cottage came in and, after offering assist
ance to the Red Cross agent and the
invalid, asked how she could become a
member of the Red Cross. The agent
replied that the annual Roll Call would
not begin till the Monday following but
that then, on payment of one dollar, the
woman could become q member.
But the eager inquirer said she could
not wait and that she wanted to join
now while she had the necessary dollar,
and she produced the 81. and begged
the agent TO accept it. This the agent
did, promising to return after the Roll
Call had actually begun and deliver the
receipt and the Red Cross membership
pin.
The woman who thus demonstrated
her charity and her good will to all the
world is Charlotte Eckett and she has the
honor of being the first member on the
Roll Call of 1923. 1t is such Incidents
as the above that hearten and encourage
the St. Croix Chapter of the American
Red Cross to believe that the people OF
this Island will respond cheerfuI!y and
generously, as always before. to this
opportunity to do good.

EDITORIAL.

With reference to the loose mistreat-
ment of the interior of the bandstand,
evidence of which was cited in yesterdays
issue sufficient to prove that the decency
of the place is grossly violated and public
property wantonly abused, attention is
further called to the unseemly behavior
which prevails in general, particularly at
night, on the grounds where the band
stand is situated. Here the seeker after
fresh air and quiet in the only public
grounds to offer it, and where he has
been accustomed to resort for years
in the cool of the evening, is rudeIy
awakened to the fact that this place
no longer caters to taste or refinement
but that the vulgar, the crude and
what not else to constitute a public
nuisance is in full possession. The
benches which were originally planted
in certain fixed places are many Of them
deliberately wrenched out and scattered
about to suit the caprices of the disorder
ly. These benches are on occasions left
across the roadways with the result that
in the dark unwary strolIers have tum,
bled headlong over them. A new way of
occupying these benches is to sprawl off
at tuil length so that one bench which

to all kinds Of improper discussions; the
flthiest iarQus ge is openly spoken and
with mental nausea and in hopeless dis
gust be must leave the locality. In
drawing notice to these things publicly
from time to time it is but natural to
gain the impression that there is a gradual
disappearance of public regard for law
and order. TIE fact that two signs re.

To the President and
Members of Congress:

The City of Washington confronts the possibility Of
having its public utilities turned to the control Of
nonresident corporation which, having interests
in many other cities and sections would necessarily look
upon its Washington holdings a mere incident.
1t has been shown before the Public Utilities Commission
that the North American Co. holds az per of the
stock Of the Washington Railway & Electric Co..
which in turn controls the Potomac Electric Power Co.
Fifteen years ago Congress passed law prohibiting nom
resident companies holding such large interests in Washing
ton utilities; and although this later modified in order
s applies against the domination OF power companies
The undersigned is Of the largest stockholders in the
Washington Railway Electric Co. He is opposed to the
merger now outlined for two reagOns
j. He believes the many hundreds Of minority stock
holders would have their interests graVey endangered IL
these properties turned to the enormously power
1uI alien interests which seek their control.
e He believes the interests OF Washington would in
eytaby suffer because the manifest prime interest of these
nonresident powers is to get control Of the electrical bus
ness Of Washington IN which reside the sole opportunity OF
great profits through the merger.
B. He believes that il this is approved the North
American Co. and its subsidiaries here win completely
dominate the situation that the Great Falls power rights
must inevitably fall ultimately into their hands. Thus
would be created complete monopoly of power production
and distribution, well OF traction service in their
hands.
current used IN Washington Is used by the street
Controlling them side and owning the entire electric
distribution system OF the city the proposed monopoly
would have everything in it's hands No independent in
terest could afford 10 develop the Potomac power because
the North American Group would completely control the
marketing 0f the current ANY competing interest whether
it be the Federal Government the municipality or some
private interest attempting 10 develop the Potomac River
power would be compelled also at expense TO lay
conduits and 10 provide complete electrical distribution
system, paraleing that which the North American Go.
would have already installed. This would be obviously
wagtefu and economically mp0ssibe, and 1t W0nd
that If the Potomac River power developed it's
distribution would be at the mercy and the terms die
tsted by the North American Co.'s interest.
