TEMPERANCE IS THE SECRET
 or HEALTH

OF HEALTH
 The meaning of the word temper ance was more clearly defined by Francis Y. Willard ct the time the w. c. T. U. was organized in lB74 than 1t is in any dictionary I have seen: Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and to- tai abstinence from the things that are bad" know this deflniti0n will not suit you wishy-washies who take Q cocktail or Q little punch or a highbalI now and again, more likely again, not because you want 1t or must have it, but because you haven't the moral courage to de- cline-you're afraid your personality is too weak to stand out when all the rest of the crowd are drinking.
 How many Americans in business or professional life ever give . thought to the health value of tem- perance when 1t comes time for the dessert on top of Q fairly well bal- anced meal9 How many of us past thirty and of more or less sedentary habit have learned to worry along without dessert, which we are in the habit of taking because--well, just because we're in the habit of taking 1t and we do not wish to offend the hostess or the cook or we feel we've paid for the dinner and soweought to eat from A (though heaven knows there is precious little A in 1t, nor for that matter enough B, c, D, c or E to speak of) to izsard even if we burst an arteryp Such intemperance is as depraving as is the use of alcohol to benumb con- sciousness of inferiority.
 am not assuming that dessert is harmful. On the contrary, insist that ice cream, pie, cake, cookies, puddings, candy, sweets in general and syrup or sugar of whatever kind, should be included in the daily ration of every young person, par-

EDITORIAL

The courts have been clogged in these
days with traffic cases. Several per-
sons have been killed and wounded by
reckless drivers. In every case the hand of
mercy has sayed the offenders from being
crushed between the teeth of the law.
We admire that fine side of human ma
turs, that thing which enables man to rise
above the beast. There is perhaps no more
beautiful description of it than that given
by Shakespeare:
'The quality of mercy is not strain'd
1t droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blessed;
1t blesseth him that gives and him that
takes"
But then there is serious side to this
question. The mereiful attitude of the
courts does not seem to reach the hearts of
reckless drivers We find some of them
with long records in court for reckless driv-
ing. When these people sit at the wheel
and step on the accelerator of car or
truck the lives of other motorists and of
pedestrians on the road are too insignificant
to be considered. They are out for thrills"
as they term their recklessness.
We would not advocate long prison terms
for such offenders, for there is doubt as to
the effectiveness of such punishment. The
offender, as we have often seen goes on the
road again, as reckless as before.
The safest course is to remove the danger
from the road. When a motorists license is
revoked for six months or a year and,
according to the nature of the offense for
some years and in the case of an old often
der, permanently, the public would be rid
of the menace and the motorist would be
free from trouble; at least he would be
given sufficient time to reflect.
ltlis,not only the POOR chauffeur who gets
his "thrill'' from the road. Those in the
higher walks of life are equally guilty of dis
respecting Che traffic laws, and because
they are not checked and are seldom or new
er brought to account fer t3eir reckless driv

Like everything else, the festive season
has passed. The hustle and turmoil is over;
and things have again lapsed into It's for
mer condition. We will not see that man
on stills perhaps for year to come = nor
the darkies delighting the public with their
comic-dances etc. etc.
Gone! Like the water that went over the
dam. Gone like the butterflies | used to
chase in my boy-hood days; like the tiny
fishes that delighted my eyes, as they swan
to and fro in the pool, as have the multi
colored birds | used to see fitting from
tree to tree, from branch to branch, they
gone.
The shady nook by the babbling brook
no more will I enjoy its grateful shade: no
more do l hear the ripping of the pleasant
stream. When cast glance round and
about me, | see nothing but desolation
spreading from horizon to horizon, what an
appalling sight My heart throbs with glad
ness my spirit isdepressed within my bosom.
May-haps thekindness of Providence will re
store to this goodly land of mine it's pristine
wealth and beauty; but never, though the
moonlight may wane or the moonlight may
glow, though, the waters may ebb
or the waters may flow. Never again save
IN dreams can | know the hours that have
passed away, long time ago. Hence | beg
to be forgl ven for my weakness, while vent
my feelings by exclaiming in the anguish D
my soul.

Governor Cramer is expected in St. Croix
on Thursday. He will be accompanied by
Mr. F. Torkelson. Together with theMuni
cipal comm ttee they will make an inspec-
ton of the public roads, SO as to determine
how the grant from Washington for road
repairs can be most effectively used. 1t is
thought that an asphalt road from Chris
tiansted to Frederiksted will rid the NUM-
cipality of major portion of road repairs
for some years.
If the road will be no better than the
paved streets it will be $60,00000 wasted.
The centre line road carries heavy traffic
Any work intended to be of permanent
nature must be well done If the money is
inadequate to make good road it would
be better to build only part of the road
until it is convenient to complete 1t.
The "Arturo" arrived tbs morning with
mail and passengers.
The 'Vigilant" is expected this afternoon
and will sail on the return voyage on sched-
ule time.

trumpets, by 6 medievally garbed herald at 10 Q. m. tomorrow mor- ming, at St. James palace, at Char ing Cross.-the great traffic center of Trafalgar Square-at Temple Bar, which is the boundary of the ancient City of London and its square mile of semi-sovereign ter- ritory; at the corner of Chancery lane nearby, and on the steps of the Royal Exchange in the city.
 It was at this meeting that the new king had the duty of making his first speech as sovereign, of talk ing the oath of security to the Church of Scotland, promising that he would not follow the example of his predecessors the Stuart kings, in prosecuting It's members; of sign- ing Q proclamation preserving the continuity of office of his ministers and the public services.
 Parliament Called
 Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin summoned parliament to meet in special session at 6 ?. m. q p. m. EST) in the house of lords, to ap- prove @ motion to convey a speech to the new king and @ message of coincidence on the death of his father.
 Edward will mount the throne for che first time at 8 joint session In lords scheduled for nearly February, to make the solemn declaration in substance as follows:
 T will maintain the true intent of your enactments to the best of my powers, according to law"
 At the first formal new session of parliament, or alternatively after his coronation if that comes first the coronation will be held Q little more than Q year from now-the king must formally declare his ad- herence to the Protestant church.
 No Empty Ritual
 This is no empty ritual, Edward VIII, the first man ot ascend the throne as 6 machelor since George III, may never marry Roman Catholic. England and Scotland have not forgotten the Stuarts. He is the head of the Churches of Eng land and Scotland and their de- fender.

comforted her. The Archbishop of Canterbury, and old family friend, spoke Q few words to her. Lord Dawson gently took the Queens hand, nodded to the Prince of Wales, and led the family back into the sitting room.
 Lights were put out in the death chamber. The women retired 70 their rooms. The King was dead and there was a new king.
 Edward VIII became at the mo- ment of death the already consti- tuted king, and as king he could not be a mourner.
 He went at once and telegraph the lord mayor of the city of Lon don, announcing his fathers death.
 Lord Dawson wrote out and signed the certificate of death. He had signed that for King Georges father, King Edward, in 1910.
 Death Notice Posted
 News was teIephoned to news- papers correspondents at the Feathers Inn, where are the only telephones in Sandringham, and soon the death notice was posted on the Jubilee Gate.
 It was Alan F. Lascelles, King Georges assistant private secretary who 'phoned to the inn.
 Tt is all over," he said, and therl he read the formal bulletin.
 There was mad run for the tele- phones. Those who had no tele- phones ran to automobiles whose motors had been running for hours and raced off to the nearest agency of communication.
 A boy cycled across the garden from Sandringham House ano handed a paper to Sergeant of the Norfolk constabulary in charge oi the Guard there. The sergeant walked up to the framed bulletin board and, his fingers fumbling posted the death notice. It was written on Q rectangular sheet oi paper, a little larger than ordinary note paper, with the red royal crest at it's top and "Sandringham House Norfolk" embossed in red In the upper right corner.
 Villagers Get News
 The seregants saluted sttffly anc backed away. w ftt. u.
 Villagers at the gate surged for. ward, read, and while men took OH their hats the women began crying Then they all went of finto the darE to tell their relatives and friends waiting up in cottages all over the country side.
 News photographers and news rec camera men stood back of the crowc shooting pictures.
 Lights in Sandringham House winked out one by one and left the dead king in. repose and the new king embarking on his duties.

Prince Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David is now, by the death of our late sov-. ereign of happy memory, become our only lawful, rightful, liege lord. Edward the Eighth, by the grace of God king of Great Britain, Ire- land and the British dominions be-. yond the seas, defender of the faith, emperor of India, to whom we do acknowledge all faith and constant obedience with all hearty and hum ble affection, beseeching God, by whom kings and queens do reign, to bless the royal Prince Edward VIII with long and happy years to reign over us."
 Signers of Document sh
 Signers of the announcement, prepared last night, were the male members of the royal family, the archbishop of Canterbury as primate, the privy councillors and the lord mayor and other officials of London.
 Probably tomorrow, ct any rate within two or three days, the an- nouncement of today will be read as a proclamation to the public. The new king must be present and the ceremony will be exactly as 1t was at the accession of his fater. That event, on May Q, 1910, was describ- ed by the London Gazette in these words:
 "The officers of arms l1abited in their tabards assembled at St. James palace and, attended by the sergeants-at-arrns, proceeded to the balcony of the Friary court, where, after the truynpets had sounded Q fanfare, the proclamation was read by garter principal king of arms, In the presence of the earl marshal, several of his majesty,s ministers and many other officials, in addition to various personages of distinc. ton" t@ 5 YHsf
 State Procession ,Y
 Then Q state procession is formed, with trumpeters, heraldsand mount ed life guards escorting the officials, and the lords march upon the city of London. f. 4s :
 The lord mayor meets the process sion in his state carriage en route and supplants the high bailiR of Westminster at the columns head. The procession encounters c barrier across the street at the entrance to the city but 1t is removed at the demand of "The Blue Mantle, Pur- suivant of Arms" and the parade proceeds. At the corner of chancery lane the proclamation of the new king is read again, while trumpets flourish. Gs v. ~
 Upon that, all the oficials of Lon- don join the parade and march tc the Royal Exchange where the proclamation is finally read. Tho guns of St. James park and the Tower of London boom together ai the last word,
 The coronation of Edward VIII may take place at any time but probably will be deferred . year or more during the mourning period.
 He probably will address the privy council today and take oath to maintain the security of the church of Scotland. The oath to, support the church of England customariiy follows later. Y &
