THE CONSTITUTION
COVERS THIS

By Befuddled Voter.
The motto of your paper is "Give
the people light and they will find
their own way" so why don't you
do just that?
am referring to the primary
election just held. I notice three
Negroes were nominated for office
two on the Democratic ticket and
one on the Republican.
Why don't your paper designate
which candidates are Negroes? Sure
ly no clear thinking white person
would want one of them in office
and no doubt they received votes
from persons who did not know who
they were voting for.
To give the people a clear view
and in fairness to those on the bal
lot, Negroes should be designated;
too the religion of all candidates
should be shown.

900. A few weeks ago an ire
sponSible person driving Model
T Ford disregarded boulevard
stop and wrecked my car. A few
days ago it was standing at the
curb and an irresponsible person
driving a Model T Ford truck
damaged it considerably.
Dillinger and his associates are
not nearly as dangerous to the
average citizen as irresponsible
drivers.
Some action should be taken
at once to remedy the present
situation. I once lived in state
where there was compulsory in
surance, one-fourth had to be
paid at the time the licenses were
issued, one-fourth in three
months, one-fourth in six months
and one-fourth in nine months.
If the motorist failed to make
either of the payments the license
became void. 1t was good law
and should be worthy of the
earnest consideration Of the law
makers of Indiana.

BOOTLEGGERS WORSE
THAN DlLLINGER

By Reader.
never was so tired of anything
in my life as I am of Dillinger.
They should stop bounding Dillinger
for awhile and put some Of the
force after the bootlegger.
am not in favor of crime, but I
don't believe that Dillinger has done
as much harm as the bootlegger
has, for it is not known positively
that he has killed any one, and we
do know that the bootlegger has
caused more deaths with the liquor
they sell, than any one else. They
have caused more crime than Dill
linger could in fifty years.
Put your federal men after the
bootlegger and save your young girls
and boys from ruin.

A TRIBUTE
BY LAWRENCE E. SCOTT

BY LAWRENCE E. SCOTT
o empty words.
That try so hard to tell
OF one whom all my life
I've loved so well.
Taunt not my efforts
Though they be in vain,
Remember that my thoughts
Run in a deeper, sweeter strain.
But this my tribute is,
Poor as it may be, sincere,
To one who's fostered. loved,
And understood me each long
year:
No man made thing,
His jewels, gold. or any other,
Could e'er replace Gods greatest
gift to me,
My own, my precious darling
mother.

sanctity Of home life and purity

Mother. through Christian infiu-
ence, we men feel that in your fer
vent defense of our fine idealism you
have been true to the trust which
our race has placed IN women.
From our Mothers knee We have
been taught to think of you women

things of this life that are the fin

DIST CLOUDS

DEOPLE living in the middle west and
L along the eastern seaboard are still talk
ing of the astonishing dust storm of last week
which blew away loose millions of tons of the
dry soil of the Missouri and Mississippi basins
carried it across the continent and out over
the Atlantic.
To the people of the southwest, such
thing is not new. Several times each year,
"norther" sweeps southwark across the plains
of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, carrying
with it the gritty dust and sand of the Da-
kotas and Nebraska. Such storms, so it is
said, explain the leathery sand-blasted
countenances of the men in the wide open
spaces.
The dust storm of last week may, to the
nation, come as a blessing in disguise 1t
should draw attention to what is happening to
our land in the west. We are told that the
Sahara desert was once fertile land Today
it is waste of shifting sand hills
To save our fertile farm lands for posterity,
sub-marginal lands should be planted in crops
that fasten down the soil. Wind erosion is
doing vast damage, not only to the fields
where wheat is being blown out of the ground,
but also to the other fields blanketed with the
drifted SOIL
This may have been the first dust storm
of nature to obscure the sun that shines upon
the Capitol dome But Washington is not
stranger to dust clouds of another kind-the
dust clouds of politics.
There was that dust cloud kicked up by
prohibitionists which dimmed the vision of
statesmen for more than decade.
Indeed, most of the work of the new deal
has consisted of removing the dust of the
old order. NRA, AAA, PWA, CWA, IVA,
CCC and FERA were new deal breezes to
clean the air.
And in the wake of the new deal breezes
have come other dust clouds kicked up by
protesting individualists. DR.. Writ, for ex-
ample, scuffed up a binding dust, but
spring shower of reason settled it,

come to Real Silk and obtain the
jobs of the fellows who now are out
on strike as they have received
their training in a union mill and
are qualified as union knitterS
whereas the men now on strike
would be classed as apprentice and
would have to work as such for four
years.
In closing, I advise the strikers
to get union knitter book and read
what it takes to qualify as union
knitter.

SEES STRIKERS FAVORED
IN THE TIMES

BY Respectable Lawyer.
The Times has become one of the
most ridiculous papers of this city
since it has been upholding such
violence as results from the Real
Silk strikers. Let one of those
strikers get hurt, and a big write
up appears in The Times about it,
but let one of those who are re-
naming at work get hurt, and
there is little mention of it, if at
all.

Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABELL--

TINE Spanish embassy dance given by AM
l. bassador and Nine. Cardenas for the Off
GERS and midshpmen of the Spanish training
ship, Juan Sebastian Elcano, was-like all the
Spanish partieS-a great success
Courteous Commander Salvador Moreno,
skipper of the training ship enjoyed every min
ute of it. Even a black cocker spaniel that
somehow wandered through the drawing rooms
(until carried out by strong armed Ramon Pa
dilla of the embassy staff enjoyed it.
Popular Ambassador Cardenas was beseged
with friends who hate to see him leave Smiling
but tired he stood patiently regarding the dane
ers until late hour-a very late hour.
One Spanish mildly" unable to express his
satisfaction with the party in his somewhat linn
tied English, phraSed it this way:
LA partee eez-n1uy magnifco-how you say
-bellissima-oop-o oop-hurrah!"
And he rolled his eyes and eloquently raised
both hands to heaven.
He scarcely exaggerated the merits OF the
party.
DOSSIBLY in honor of the uniformed Spanish
L officers, who all wore brass buttons, Cuban
Ambassador Don Marquee Sterling appeared at
the fiesta with similar adornments on his waist
coat.
1t was a beautiful cream -colored waistcoat,
with cunningly embroidered design. If one were
accidentally to upset plate of soup on that
waistcoat the stains would not be visible.
TINE little crocodile which bit the finger of
l. handsome Monsieur Michel, Swiss coun-
selor, about year ago, at the Spanish embassy,
is dead.
Monsieur Michel was reminded of this fact
at the Spanish party as he gazed penSively into
the patio fountain where once his little leather
backed friend used to lie in the sum-
Michel glanced at his finger which once his
little playmate-in merry mood-had nipped.
The scar is healed, now, and Michel is big,
strong and healthy-a real Swiss, fit for the
Popes Swiss guard.
DO you miss Augustus?" inquired passing
guest. (Augustus was the crocodile)
"Ah, the past is wiped out" replied medita-
tive Michel Il am philosopher"
And he swallowed a glass of champagne

No debutante could ever miss

CENATOR WARREN S. BARBOUR has be-
y come a linguistic expert. He speaks Gaelic.
At the Spanish embassy party, Barbour met
Michael MacWhite, minister of the Irish Free
State.
"Slante Gael Mavourneen" he began CAT
least it sounded like that)
Then he muttered some more phrases all Of
which, resembled the noise made by a man with
a walrus mustache eating soup
That's Gaelic-pure Gaelic!" smiled tactful
Minister NacWhite.

| do not know what perhaps to decide
what will happen 70 US down here. 1t is
my opinion that we should continue the
bill on 2nd discussion until the next
meeting of the Council for two reasons:
the first is. some members Of the Coun-
Gil are away and may come back with
valuable information; and the second Is,
if it is true that the Federal Alcohol
Control Administration is going to have
hearings In st Thomas on the alcohol
situation, thiak we should wait and
find out what the findings are. Likely
some people here might want to go to
Sta Thomas on Saturday to be present
at che hearing. don't think the Council
should take specific action on the bill to-
day. we should wal. and hear what is
going 70 haope at St. Thomas on Satur-
dav after the people who are interested
in the manufacture of alcohol are heards

all. | move that discussion on Bill Nos

End Member for ChristiansteG Town
(Chabert): Mr.. Vice Chairman. If it is
the desire of this Council to postpone
discus ion en- Bill No "a it is within its
prerogative to do So. but the arguments
advanced by the last speaker are not
convincing The Federal Alcohol Control
Administration has to do with quota and
production. This bill deals with the local
sale of liquor by the bottle and by the
drink, and it seems to me that that is
purely local affair whichthe Federal Al.

1st Member for Christiansted Country

agree with the last speaker in some Of
his remarks. out there is no law in this
island prohibiting the sale of rum by re.
tail. All laws governing the sale Of rum
were killed by the repeal of prohibition
and no new laws have been made since.

made since the repeal Of prohibition to
prevent the sale by retail of rbm. do
