WE CAN HELP OUR PARKS

N ago we commented on the condition of our
Parks and Fairgrounds, and the great need for repair. The
Council, faced with grave and serious b~udgetary problems
could not place too big an item for such repairs and main
tenance on the budget. However the work must 90 on, and
we think that citizens should be willing and ready to make
some small contribution towards the Identification and main
tenance OF their own public places. AS we said before, many
cities and towns on the mainland have regular programs fl
nanced by their Fairgrounds, but there are also many spots
which are taken care of by private enterprise.
SINCE THERE are no private ball parks and other
Fairgrounds, and everything must be cared for by the NUM-
cipaitW and since there are but few funds in our treasury,
the Pe step is for private citizens to make contributions
And here is where cooperation will count even more than in
dlv1dual amount of money contributed, for if all pitched in
just a little, great things could be done. 1t might be well if
a campaign were started, properly conducted and guided by
competent citizens of responsibility to raise the necessary
funds. Everywhere else people undertake these community
projects and see them through, thus relieving the government
OF the added burden, particularly when it is realized that
our treasury is already over-taxed.
THE PRESIDENT Of the Virgin Islands Company and
many other prominent citizens have expressed their willing
ness to help in seeing the project through. Such citizens could
be called upon to help plan, to direct several aspects Of the
program, and to make the the necessary contacts. In such
ventures it often takes more than money, for it has been
proved more than once that people will contribute a little,
and nothing else. Such contributions, if enough can be had
will more than solve our problem. But other, and equally
important help is needed in reaching the many and in seeing
the plan through.
WE URGE serious thought in this direction. There is
nothing which speaks better for the coming generation than

A Worthy Csndidote
THE HONORABLEL +. = Harrioan I,


H HONORABLE L. E. Harrigan was the frst cond;.
ldate to make an announcement in his campaign. While If
was expected that he would be in the RUNNING. his anno,nce
ment makes it certain. What we think is worthy of note is his
carry announcements, putting aside any efforts to resort to the
Old trick OF waiting until the last moment to saw anvtb;no Al
finite.
IL Is OUR opinion that Harrigan is a candidate very
worthy OF the confidence, and votes of the people Of the Is
iau' III record OF the past two years give adequate testi-
mony to this belief, and a brief review of that record will suf.
nee. song to the Council on a b~yelection, he immediately
worked tor, and succeeded in helping to push through the
Workmens compensation bill. Some on the scene NAV dis
agree, but it must be remembered that it was not until he
had campaigned on platform of such a bill that one membe,
OF the then Council, trying to race with time, pushed through
the bill, Nothing of such a bill was heard of until Harrioan
began his campaign, and the member who introduced # see
ing that victory was assured, fastened to the Council Hall
70 put IN the bill, thinking thereby that the credit would be
shifted. However, while HarriganS name does not appear
on the bill everyone knows that his influence and sincere
efforts on his way to the legislature played a large part in
its final passage.
His RECORD in the Council includes such bills as the
one tor the conservation of highly valuable trees which were
beng Unfortunately cut down for charcoal, and though
certain quarters attempted to discolor the picture, vet the
benefits OF the bill were SO clear-cut that faint bowls in re-
mote quarters died a natural death. Other Of his bills stand
out for their significant value. In addition to all this it can
be said that he is one of the most level-headed men in the
Council, taking his stand on whichever side his convictions
run. Nor does the popular vote of his fellow-C ouncihnen
deter him, unless he sees the final advantages to his consti-
taents. And for this very quality he often incurred the dis
pleasure of his colleagues, yet this is exactly what the people

some men have for the rough
& tumble namecalling, mud
singing political campaign to
which this community has
made several of these able &
conscientious persons whs
were planning tot offer their
services to the people in the
Nov. 2 election to change
their minds at the last mo-
ment. Thus, the continued
employment of indecent and
guttersnipe tactics on the
part of some candidates has
deprived the people of the best
possible representation.
1t is natural that a respec-
table man who has nothing
to gain from politics, but who
has a great deal to offer, will
be reluctant to become involv-
ed in a dog and cat political
scramble with character as
assaults upon their character
pom is foul and filthy abuse Of
everyone who stands in their
way to position and power.
For years these masters Of the
art of abuse have had things
pretty much their own way,
by soaring away opposition
with low and vulgar attacks
everytime it appeared. The
power of mendacity and abuse
is great and many courageous
men cannot stomach the vile
assaults upon their character
and that Of their relatives
which are usually made by
irresponsible opponents.
Political campaigns here
over the last decade have been
rather offensive to decent peo-
pie. The one that will soon
start is not expected to rise to
any higher level. The men
who are responsible for carry
ing out these low tactics must,
OF course, be vigorously con-
demned, but blame also rests
on some of the people who, by
their apparent amusement at
such activities, give encourage
ment to political blackguard-
ism. Decency in politics will
return to these islands only
