Man, Primitive Savage,
Few Thousand Years Ago

For 400,000,000 years the earth was
mass of whirling gases. No land. no
ocean had yet formed.
The "crust," or surface of the earth,
took another 8OO,0O0,O0O years to be-
come gradually solid. Not until the
world was two billion years old did
the first signs of life begin to appear
in the ocean. Another 100000, 900
years were needed before even the
simplest forms Of life began. And
after that all life was still confined to
the water for another 1,000,O0O,OO
years.
Nature then devoted 140.0O0,0OO
years to the age of reptiles, and co.
100000 years more for the evolution
of higher animals.
How long man has been on earth is
still the subject of debate among sci
entists. Some experts say 1t is as long
as 100000 years.
What Is more certain, continues a
writer In Parsons Weekly, is that man
was a primitive savage of the Stone
age only 10000 years ago-a mere
drop in the ocean Of time.
Many thinkers, particularly in
America, declare that this is too short
period for the development of a
moral sense and an appreciation Of
culture In the human race.
I'VE, represent the age of bar
barism, of war. salfishness. supersti-
tlon, ignorance. race, and religious
hatreds." says one leading scientist.

EDITORIAL

The news of Dr. Canegata's dismissal
from the medical service was not well
received even by friends Of the admins
tration.
1t is true that Dr.. Canegata spoke
fearlessly when he appeared before the
Senate Investigating Committee at
Washington where he was summoned to
testify and did so under oath.
That the administration did not like
the nature of his testimony ia perfectly
natural.
DIR. Canegata is native of the Virgin
Islands, where over 80 per cent of the
people are colored; he is also colored; for
the past twenty years he has been a
member of the legislative body and at
times Chairman of that body. which
office ne now fills.
DIR. Canegata's stand in Washington
should be taken as the act of one who
loves his country and was rlsking all for
his people, rather than the act of one
who was disoyal to the service. He
acted according to the dictates of his
conscience. regardless of the fact that
he faced the penalty of losing lucrative
position.
We feel that this the new adminisfra-
tons first major step is not in keeping
with the Governors appeal for 60 opera
tion Yet we would not say anything at
this moment that may infame a dis
appointed people. We prefer 10 appeal
to the people of St. Croix to give
their full support TO DIR. Canegata who
will now have TO again depend solely
upon his private practice. Whether we
agree with his attitude at Washington,
whether we thought he exposed himself
and lacked discretion makes little differ
ence 1t is the motive that concerns US. He
felE that he was doing his best tor his
cOuntrymen.

Alexander Stewart was shot in the
arm by Leslie Leevy at Estate Cot
tentment" last night.
Stewart was 10 arrears for house rent
and was usually off the estate during the
day: therefore at O'Clock this morning
when he was at home Leslie went to his
room and an argument followed. Les
lie discharged gun sending several shots
into Stewards arm. He said Stewart had
attacked him with a stone which was
produced in evidence.
Alexander Stewart is in the hospital
and Leslie Leevey is held on bail pending
trial.
A large and enthusiastic crowd gather
ed in the Public Market last night where
Mr. Morris E. Davis and Mr. Andrew G

Davis said that if the new Governor
should be unsatisfactory they will fight

REGULAR DIVIDEND
About $42,0O0,0OO to Be
Paid--Firm Has Unbroken
Record Since 1921.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 21.-American
Telephone g. Telegraph Co. directors
today authorized the usual quarterly
dividend Of $225 on the capital stock
which calls for a distribution of about
$42 900, 900 among the companys 675,-
900 stockholders.
One of the few important industrial
concerns to 60 through the depression
without lowering its dividend, Amer
ican Telephone has an unbroken rec
ord since 1921 OF 50 annual disburse-
ments to stockholders
In each year since 1880 the COM
pany has had to draw upon surplus to
pay part Of the dividend, but in spite
Of this policy it had cash reserves of
more than $3.50 ,o0o, 900 at the end of
1894.
In telephone installations and earn
ings the trends have been upward for
more than year, but revenues, ac-
cording to recently published figures,
are still short of the SO dividend re-
quirements. For five months ended
May 81 the company's proportion of
net income of the Bell System was
$50, ITO, 900. equal to s2.72 a share of
capital stock, against $50,045 900 or
S268 share earned in the first five
months of 1894
The dividend is payable October IS

Omens for Luck
Are Still Guide
Superstition Rules Many
Activities, Especially
in England.

Old superstitions remain and new
cnes are added. When winners in
the Irish Sweep were asked to say
to what they attribute their good
luck, heavy percentage replied that
they had ''lucky number" to thank.
(The number Is was considered both
lucky and unlucky.)
Others attributed their good for
tune to spiders, money spiders" par
ticularly, and one individual believed
he won because he had carried q
piece of coal about with him since
the dawn of 1888. One gave the
credit to a fall of oak leaves upon
him, and another wrote: LAST year
was the first time that swallows built
on my property. and my wife said
Immediately, 'Oh, don't disturb them,
swallows bring good luck"
In England superstition is not con-
fined to the countryside; it is to be
found even in the center of business
London. No member of the Roths-
child family, for instance, will shake
hands with customer in his own
bank or place of business. The
Rothschilds consider it unlucky to
do so.
Again, London's Bush house has
eight of it's pillars ornamented and
one plain. The idea, derived from
the ancient Greeks, is that God alone
can achieve perfection and that man
therefore could not attempt it.
Practically every member Of the
London Stock exchange carries a
mascot One especially favored is a
crooked coin. a sixpence for choice.
But for the crooked coin to bring
luck it must have been given to you.
You must not have received it in
change.
For the last 70 years, well-known
diamond merchant asserts, the for
tunes of his firm have been influ-
enced by a large and beautiful sap
phire. This merchant is X. D. Parikh
Of Antwerp and Bombay, and the
sapphire, which came from the Kash-
mir mines. was bought by his grand
father 40 years ago.
The gem is named "Shani," which
means Luck Bringer." 1t is kept
in a special safe. on New Years day.
Once it was sold and Immediately
misfortunes befell the firm. 1t was
bought back, and all went we'll.
"Shani." which originally cost S1O.-
600, has gained so remarkable a rep
utation that 100000 was offered for
it not long ago. The offer was re-
jected.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

bly, candidates taken as whole ex-
ceeded the Republican vote by more
than half a million, which was some
thing of an exaggeration.
The Republicans gained nine addi-
tional seats in the assembly, giving
them 80 to GO held by the Democrats.
Only two senate seats were involved
in the contest, both to fill vacancies.
One of them went to a Republican
and the other to Democrat, leaving
the setup of the upper legislative body
unchanged.
In 40 cities of the state, the Repub-
licans elected 33 mayors, including Ro-
land B. Marvin of Syracuse, possible
nominee for governor next year. The
President saw Hyde Park go Repub-
lican and Farley failed to hold his own
district in Rockland county.
The Democratic organization in New
York came through strongly and men
aces the prospect of reelection for
Mayor LaGuardia, observers hold. The
Fusion forces, which turned Tammany
out two years ago, crumbled.
In Philadelphia S. Davis Wilson, Re-
publican, was elected mayor but the
vote was close enough for the Demo-
Gratis to call it virtual victory for
the New Deal. Cleveland, Columbus
and % out of AZ other cities and towns
in Ohio chose Republican mayors, and
so did a number of municipalities in
Massachusetts. Connecticut Socialists
reelected Jasper McLevy mayor, and
Democratic mayors were returned in
Hartford and New Haven. Repub-
licans gained control of the New Jer-
sey legislature, but Hudson county,
including Jersey City, went Democrat.

Results in the spectacular election
in Kentucky gave the New Dealers a
real reason for rejoicing, for A. B.
Chandler, known as Happy" the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor who had
the support of the national admins
tration, handily defeated Judge King
Swope, the Republican nominee. This
despite the fact that Democratic Gov
ernor Lafoon had declared himself
against Chandler and threw his sup
port to Swope. The referendum on
repeal of the state prohibition amend
ment gave the repealists a good ma
jority.
In Virginia and Mississippi all the
Democratic nominees were elected,
which was to be expected.
