R R PR R SRR B SRS GRR EDITORIAL. Capt. R. D. Lowell, Jate commanding officer, U. S. M. C., at this port, gainad much public respect during his tenure of office here. He¢ maintained order and displayed the capability of his pre- decessor in discharging the duties of his important, and doubtless onerous calling, and we regret to lose him. Capt. i,owell is succeeded by Capt Noble whom we welcome with all good wishes. Mr. P. Adamsen, one of the directors of the West Indian Sugar Factory, Beth- lehem, is going aa\vay. The popular feel- ing is tha: this island can hardiy afford to lose the many valuable people which seems to be our lot of late, and it is hoped that Mr. Adamsen will return. This gentleman fills an important post and has intimate connections with the island’s general wealfare by reason ot the fact that his concern employs t"he, largest number of people in St. Croix, thereby making its interests the inter ests of every second man, woman and child, and it is to his credit that he l.as ever shown a humanitarian spirit in dealing with the people. Personally Mr. Adamsen is one of mosi unassum- ing men one can expect to meet, a per- fect geantleman as humble as a child at all times, and never seeming o feel the slightest ostentation because of his situ- ation, attributes which disclose the true gent'eman, and have endeared him to the people of this island. We trust the change will prove beneficial to Mr. and Mrs. Adamsen, and that they wili always remember St. Croix where a warm wel- come awaits them. Mr. Adamsen is succeeded by Director Wulft. It is being talked about that a move- ment is on foot to have the Colonial Council take action with regard to pre-. venting importation by lindividuals whc“! buy from mail order houses through the mails. In other words our generous mercantile fraternity, for it is understood to emanate there, would like to restrict how the people shall spend their money and where they shall spend it. The hard working laborer. the underpaid clerk, the seller in the stores and everybody else must be legislated for as to where they shall place their meagre means to get the best returns. YThe whole thing savors of Russia, or Turkey, and proba- bly the parties back of this have been in- dulging in too guch of the history of these savage European countries. Os course it is perfect'y absurd and prepos- terous for anyone to imagine fthat the in- dividual right to buy thizgs through the mails can be restricted. What can be le- stricted, controlled and stopped is illegal retailing of imported or even locally bought goods. To restirict purchasing by mail would necessitate a iaw passed in she States to prevent the mail order houses selling to these islands, the mere thought of which is too very crazy tobe entertained; also arevision of the postal regulations to prohibit the use of the parcel §post mails
