myth of the Christians. To him
Nature was God.
Taking the witness stand the
defendant told his life story,
that of a boy orphaned by the
Civil War who entered the min
istry in his late twenties and
who made his way to a bishop
ric.
He recalled how from the
pulpit he often had attacked
Darwinism without ever having
made a study of it's teachings.
However, he had done so after
his retirement, and finally it
was astronomy which had dis.
sipated his belief in Heaven. He
told the judges:
II asked myself how / could
go through space for millions
of years at 24O below zero, even
if / Travelled at the rate of light
which is 1876, 1000 miles a second
and get to Heaven"
Most of. the nine bishops
found the trial a distasteful
task and one wept openly as
the verdict was announced.
Today Bishop Brown says:
'There will never be another
trial in the church ON account
of heresy. 1t is not possible
in this age. Everyone is a
hereto. They would have to
try everybody if they tried
anybody"
He probably is wrong. DR..
Crapsey said the same thing
almost 30 years before him.
But a hereSy trial does seem
a fruitless thing, the parading
of the argument of science
against religion, an argument
which can only be interminable,

against every Huxley.

Legislative Reform
Power for the Commissioners


The inclusion in the legislative program of the District
for the coming session of Congress of the bill which would
extend the powers of the District Commissioners ind
Gates that another effort is to be made to relieve Con-
gress of much of the unnecessary and burdensome detail
which clogs up its calendars.
THIS SUGGESTED REFORM IN LOCAL LEG1sLA-
TIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATION Is
HIGHLY DESIRABLE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF
LOCAL RESIDENTS BUT IT IS DOWNRIGHT Es-
sENTIAL FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CONGRESS-
The bill which is embodied in the tentative legislative
program would give to the Board of District Commits
soners the power make all regulations applying to the
District as municipal unit It is almost identical with
the bill which was pending in the last Congress.
From the viewpoint of those who believe in greater
autonomy for the District and greater of local
control the local government the far from
ideal
BUT IT is A STEP IN THE DIRECTION OF BET
TER GOVERNMENT FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
AS WELL AS BEING STEP TOWARD RELIEVING
CONGRESS OF DUTY WHICH MANY MEMBERS
REGARD AS AN UNNECESSARY IMPOSITION.
Enactment of the proposed bill by Congress would not
represent great delegation by that body of the power
conferred upon it by the Congress legslate exclusively
for the seat of the Federal Government
It would in way interfere with the power of Con-
gress over the District.
The powers which it would confer the District Com
mssoners would extend only to purely local matters as
distinct from the affairs of the city the National
Capital
The bill would eliminate much absurd legislation which
now cutters up the usual congressional session.
It would not be necessary, the bill enacted to
the ponderous national legislative machinery in or
der to obtain permit to transfer body from grave
to another.
IT WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY TO ASK
NINETY-sIX SENATORS AND FOUR HUNDRED
AND THIRTY-FIV REPRESENTATIVES TO PUT
ASIDE THE NATIONS AFFAIRS WHILE THEY DE-
LIBERATED UPON A NAME FOR STREET.
IF the difficulties which encountered by local off,
Gals in pushing through Congress these matters which
of relatively little Importance done away with
the of major District legislative proposals in the
Congress would undoubtedly be made easier
ALI too frequently these apparently simple proposals
manage to the ire of two Congressman who
let their antagonis thus generated extend to other and
Importantly meritorious bills.
This proposal for mild extension of the powers of the
Commissioners will undoubtedly be received by Congress
about the time that the many suggestions for general
reorganization of the local government are reaching
Capitol Hill
JUDGING FROM THE VARIETY OF THE REOR
GANIzATION SCHEMES ALREADY PRODUCED IT
WILL BE DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN ANY CONCERTED
ACTION WHICH IS LIKELY TO FORCE ANY ONE
OF THEM THROUGH AT THE COMING SESSION
That being it will become increasingly important
that the minor proposal for extending local power be
pushed with as much energy be mustered.

Efforts To Remove Him Failed

Judge T. Weber Wilson came to
Christiansted yesterday surrounded by
flying colors.
The Judge was called to the mainland

The Council

A tired lot of men shuffIed out Of the
Colonial Council hall last night after
having passed the Municipal Budget by
unanimous vote They had been work
ing through Wednesday night and until
four o'clock Thursday morning. AT
midday the Chairman was again on the
rostrum and when the clerk announced
there was quorum he rang the historic
bell, and the new chaplain. Rev. Father
Quinlan offered a prayer.
Budget discussion usually extends
over a period of weeks. but esterday
the boys were good natured Hard
times did not seem to be so hard this
year, liquor taxes are flowing almost as
freely as the rum in the ST Croix distil
leries and tn boys are not fearing that
some day their properties would be
taxed out of their hands.
In an effort 20 be conservative the
Council reduced the Governments esti-
m ated revenues to figure which 1t was
thought could cause no future heartaches.
Then the task of reviewing their work
of the previous night was undertaken by
the members.
Though they had slept over the bud
get Mr.. Cornelius Pentheny found that
the overworked stenographer or the
Council had not been considered among
others for little more of that which
sweetens labor. Other members rub.
bed their eyes. Before they could decide
if they were fully awake he had
squeezed an increase of $500. 600 for
Judge D. H. Jackson of the police court.
Mr.. Pentheny did not attend the meeting
ofxthe previous aight. neither did Mr.. K.
de Chahert. Other members snsrled on
them for not spending a night at Govern.
ment House. and they accused the others
of having slept on the job.
