Eihel-Medici-Barrymore, Lorerz) the Magnificen), alias John Barrymore, and Alle
sardro Lionel Medici- Barrymore,
Metro-Goldwyn had the grand idea of putting the three Barrymores intoa play.

The story of the strange Monk who cured the Czar’s son by hypnotism when all

ST. CROiX TRIBUNE
(Fabio): Mr. Chairman. Ma2st of the re
marks [ have heard are based on opin
ion. | have another view of this matter.
T'he legislative body of this island as set
up in Paragraph 1 of the Colonial Law,
and which reads:
““The supreme authority of legis
lating for the Danmisn West India
Island in al! matters exculsively
relating to affairs within the
boundaries of the islands, inelud
ing their harbors and mariume
territory, rests with the Legisla
tive Power of the Kingdom.
Except questions voncerning the
matters dealt witn in Paragrapas
49 aad 50 of this iaw and the ex
ceptions mentioned in Paragraphs.
57 and 81 of tiis law, this autnori
ty may, however, provided no rea
son oe found for issuing a Law in
the erdinary manner, be exercised
by gthe King and the respective
Colonial Council conjoirtly, by or
dinances, If reason oe found for
issuing alaw the draft of such
law shall be laid before th2 respze
tive Colonial Council for its re
port, unless particular reasovns
should render an exception meccs
&3 sary.” -w5) - s @
@lt is my opinion, therefore, with the
* gsupport of this law. that this Colonial
Council is a law-making nody and as sucn
has not the right to pass a resolution of
this kind. If anything is out of ordar is
is this resolution. [he people have dadi
cated this Hall to the making and repeal
iug of laws, but have never given this
body the right to give votes of confi
dence. I'hat’s a power that rest with the
people. If the people desire to go on re
cord as giving the Governor a vote of
confidence it is their right so to do, but is
pot within the province of any memoer
of this Council to do so. This is purely
a political matter. ls it was withis our
power to pass a vote of eonfileace tne
people would ask us to do so. Personal
ly, 1 have this tofsay, if Governor Pear
soan (it 1 x'm privilege to use his name)
nad stuck to tneiprovisions of the 4 _olo
nialjLaw and had tried to exeeute tanem
and nad failed in his efforts .to .do,so 1
would say honor to him, but | ¢cgnaot pea
poerite. I readin Paragragh 43 of the
Colonial Law that:, . e
