applicable,
amendments
would be
given
consideration.
Ido not feel at this
fime
that there
is a single solitary case
to jus-
tify the
action
taken
today.
I have
no-
ticed
the
Honorable
Ist
Member
for
Christiansted
Country
District
reading
sentence
after
sentence
from the
Colon-
ial Council Proceedings,
and
not reading
the
intervening
remarks.
Is
it
neces-
saryßto
read
a page
here and
there
and
omit
the
intervening
lines?
Why
is
it
necessary
to
go
back
to
1910 and
read
what he said
in this C)uncil?
Why didn’t
he put
the
argument
up
from his
lips?
And what weight has
any
Draft of Ordi-
nance
before
this
Council
today
which
was
introdueed
in
19107
At that
time
yol were
working under
a
(sove:nment
that
does
not
now
exist
on this
island.
I maintain,
and
wi'l stand
by my words,
that if there
is
necessity
for an
amend-
ment
I will voie for an amendment,
buc I
claim
that there is
no such necessity.
Mr.
Vice-Chairman
| move that
a
committee
offive membhers
be
appointed
by
this
Council
to receive
the amendment
offered
by the Honorable
Member.
Ist
Member
for
Christiansted
[own
(Stakemann)
remarked:
Mr. V-ce
Chair-
man:
When the last Speaker
asks
why
I
turned
over
pages
unread
and
only
read
certain
passages,
this is
an
insinu-
ation
that
[ left out parts opposed
to my
version.
This
is an{insinuation for
dis-
trusted
citation,
whichIshall
not stand
for.
It
is an
insult
to me.
The
reason
for reading
my remarks
in 1910
was,
to
show
that
while
at
that time
we
had
imminent
jurists in the Council thorough-
ly
versed
in Danish
Law,
no one
at
that
time claimed
1 was
wrong.
Had
1 made
the
same
statements
today in this
Coun-
cil, there
would be
no one versed
in
Dan-
ish Law
who would
contradict
me,
were
[ wrong.
Do
[ understand
the
last
Speaker
to
mean
that because
the
laws
were put
in
force thirty days
ago,
the right of no one
has been
infringed upon?
Many persons
have
come to me with complaints about the
present
existing laws,
because
they know
thatI am
he
advocate
of the people;
I
give them my advice, but do not take
any
mouney
from
them,
because
[
consider
that
{ am
here
in this
Coancil
as
their
protector,
to
take
up
their
cause;
and
therefore,
I have brought
in
this matter,
and
for doing this
[have
received
less
than
the
Honorable
Member;
he
says
that he has
received
Six Dollars;
I
have
received nothing.
[ give my
time
to the
people gvery hour, ever
minute,
with-
out receiving
compensation
for it; I feel
that the remarks
made
by the iast Speak-
er
is an insuit
to
me.
I
have for torty
years
been
in law business
in this
island
and
am
well known
to every member
of
the
community,
and
1 defy
one
single
person
to show
that
[ have
ever
taken
advantage
or done
one
single
dishonest
act,
and thata
man
of only two
years
residing
here
shovid
throw any aspersion
on
my acts
can have
no weight.
She

Ist
Member for Frederiksted
Country
District (Andersen) remarked:
Mr. Vice-
Chairman.
I
had
a lot
to do
with
the
railroading
of the laws through this Coun-
cil.
I proposed
that
we
closed
two
dis:
cussions
at one meeting
because
Govern-
ment said, if there
were
anything in the
laws
that
is not applicable
to this island,
the
laws could be changed
fat any
time;
and
if that is found ‘out inside
of
thirty
days
it mak sno
difference.
With
the
promise
made
by Government
in view,
|
feel that it is quite human
that if a
mem-
ber
finds flaws in the
law, it
should
be
remedied.
[ feel that there is good reas-
on
for bringing this
amendment.
[
re-
commend
that
the
Coureil
take
action
upen
it.
Ist Member for Christiansted
Counntry
District
(Stakemann)
remarked:
Mr.
Vice-Chairman.
The complaints
made
to
me
are
not only from
the Teachers,
but
from
the
parents
of
the
children.
Do
you
think it right if [ have children
and
[
teach
them
manners,
teach
them
re-
spect,
and good
morals
and
then
to
have
to send
them
among
children
who
have
never
been
taught
the word of God,
man-
ners
or anything that
is good,
that
would
be right?
If I had
a
child of school
age
the
Director
of Education
could
not
get
me
to send
that child among
such
child-
ren,
he would have
to kill me first.
To
be
continued.

On Tuesday
night
last,
at
a
room
of
the
Lutheran
Parsonage,
there
was
a
gatharing
»f persons,
inviied,
we
be-
lieve by the Parson
Revd.
Critchlow with
the object,
as
he explained in
the
open-
ing ad)dress,
of endeavouring
to
awaken
in
the
minds
of
the
more
intelligent
class
an interest
in
their
less-fcrtunate
brethren
as
well
as
those
who may
be
inspired
to help them
-to the
intent that
whatever
in
that
way.can
be achieved
for their betterment
be
put
into
opera-
tion
at
once.
There
was
a
fair
num-
ber
of
respectable
folk
of both
sexes.
The Revd.
Critchlow, with that
zeal
for
which
he
is
generally
esteemed.
Zeal
and
deep
concern
for
the
uplifting of.
our young poorly educated
men
and
wo-
men—dwelt
upon and lucidly pointed out
the
great
need
existing
among
the
hitherto
neglected
youth
of
this
town.
He spoke regretfully of the
sad
fact
of
numbers,
who,
now maturing
and
even
advancing
into
older
age
stand
as
evidence
of
the
manner
in
which
their
schooling
and training
have
been
neglected,
the
resultant
showing
of
which, calls emphatically
for
efforts
on
the part of those
equipped
for
the
pur-
pose,
to
be
up
and doing
so
that today
something
may
be effected
for bettering
the condition of those
now
risirg.
Bet-
terment
in the three
distinctly important
essentials,
Physical,
Moral
and
Mental
or Intellectual Improvement.
Mr.
A. C.
Bough and
Mr. J. E! Bough, having been
as at such
meetings—elected
respectively
as
Chairman
and Secretary
and the meet
ing fully opened,
several
other
speakers,
notably Reverends
Bartels
and
Allen
of
the Moravian
Church,
warmly
supported
the object;
and
Mr. S. A. Smith
and
Mr
J.dJ.
Jhonson both
Members
of the old Mu-
tual Improvement
Society
also
tendered
their quota of encouragement
in any work
for culture
and and
advancement
on the
above-mentioned
lines,
and
afrter
some
discussion
on
the
question
of
whether
the formal
business
of organizing
a
So-
ciety should
be
at
once
proceeded
with.
or
a
postponement
of
that
to
a subse
quent meeting,
be adopted——it
was final
ly
decided
and
arranged
that
another
meeting
be
held
on
the
next
Tuesday
evening
at same
place
and
time (8 o’¢. )-
to which
all those
who feel
interested
in
this
commendable
object
are
cordially
invited.—
