Dear
Mr. Editor :-
In
your paper
of the
Ist
inst.
ap-
peared
two letters—in attack
on
my letter
of the day before. “The “rst by ‘‘Follower
Protestant
Episcopal
Chureh’’
and
the
other by ‘‘Upholder of
Sound Doctrine’’.
To
the latter I beg
to
sgay,
that [
look
on
himasags

“mplée
and ifall
the
others
could
so dearly,
there
would
have bec
her’ invitation
nor
sermon
perhaps..
As itds

is talking to, I,
and

and
which
af-
fords much

. to'the
‘‘necks’’
of his hearers
*Ye
ialpit.

own,
and
who
apparentiy
beiongs
to the
oild
Danish
"“Trold’’ set.
With his great
power-
he
seems
to
me
to feel that
'‘his’’ opinion
must
be
respected
above
everybody’s
else,
he
seems
to
forget that
it
is
not
the
ones
who
ecan
boast
(as he
can)
of
literacy alone
who
need religiotas
help
so
as
to
be able
to conduct
a sacred
married
life.
His
literacy
ought
to
teach
him
that this newspaper
is open
to
all of its
subscribers
and readers,
especially
those
who are
not afraid of their
own shadows
to
appear
in print,
as I beheve many
are,
to keep
his
power
and
criticiem
to
him-
self
and
allow
others
to
have
their
|
chance.
If he would summon
his ‘‘Liter-
-
ati’”’ ‘and kindly oblige
by
defining
the
word ‘‘Protestant’’ he
will greatly oblige.

Christiansted,St. Croix, July 7, 1920
Editor the St.. Croix Avis:—
t
There
has been
some
talk and
ef-
fort toward
getting
a water supply
for
St.
Croix, and we all ‘agree
that
such
a
thing would be of immense
benefit to the
community.
But it does
beat
my under-
standing
that
the same
very people
who
are
kicking
at this and that,
and
want
everything
to come
to their doors, fail to
realize their
own responsibility
or to live
up
to their pretensions
even in the
care
of their
own
possessions.
Here in this
drought
I have
gone
around
town
and
counted
on the fingers of my
one hand the
number
of
houses
in anv street
that
had
spouting
and,
where
they
had,
were
provided
with
receptacles
tor the water
which,
during
the
recent
days’
rain-
fall has simply been allowed to run in the
gutter
and
go
to. waste.
I have noted
institutions
owned by organizations
hav-
ing funds and which ought to
be alive in
these
matters
no better
off in this respect.
If ten per
cent of the properties
in
town
had
spouting
around - their roofs and
moderately
large cisterns
it is
possible
that
this -town
'could
=~ withstand
a
drought of -a year.
As it
is, the
people
are
from
place
to
place
begging
for
water
which is
more
often
sold,
while
rents
are
mounting
up
without
the
slightest
regard
to
what
conveniences
are provided
in return
Yours
:
SUFFERER.
TO
THE
FOOD-COMMISSION,
THE
POLICE,
OR WHOEVER
IS AUTHOR-
IZED
TO
INVESTIGATE
INTO
THE
VIOLATION
OF
THE
PROVISIONS
OF THE
FOOD
ORDINANCE.
A
grocery
in
this
town
owned by
a
member
of
the
Food
Commission
lis
charging
20
cents
a
pound for raw
su-
gar,
or
four
cents
more
than
ruled
by
the Food
Commission
of which
this hon-
orable
personage
is
a member.
If this
grocery
continues
to
impose
on the pub-
lic and
does
not readjust
the
price
of
the raw sugar
to 16 cents
a pound
as
re-
quired
by
the
Food
Commission,
we
would
like
to
know
what
is principle,
and whether
such
dealing
is
a sample
of
the
honesty
of shat
business,
and
what
redress
we have.
