THE PREMIER

DEPARTS.
In superb weather, after a
thoroughly successful visit,
Sir Riehard MeBride took his

leave this morning from Prince
Rupert and district. Sir Rich-
ard has certainly covered the
ground in record time since he
arrived to the blare of trum-
pets and the fluttering of
banners last Monday. To visit
Prince Rupert, Hazelton, Stew-
art and Granby Harbor, to hear
requests and grievances, to
receive congratulations  ful-
some or sincere, to view great
undertakings in their various
stages and amidst it all to do
a little trout fishing certainly
means going some, whether
for premier and knight or for
plain human being. All Prince
Rupert stood united in the
welcome given Sir Richard.
All Prince Rupert readily
agrees that Sir Richard has
availed himself of every oppr-
tunity to look into our north-
ern needs, concerns and am-
bitions during his flying visit.
Prince Rupert and district have

done their best to “do the
Premier proud,” Even the
weather was on its best be-

havior for him. Now what
more could our knightly Pre-
mier want?

when the commander of a Brit-
ish battleship innovated gram-

time as an accompaniment to
the work of coaling ship by

granted the city band to prac-

ANCIENT PRIVILEGE
ATTACKED.

An Ohio court has held that a
woman who steps off backward
from a moving street car and
sustains hurt thereby cannot
collect damages. Against that
decision, as it shall become an
effective precedent, it is the
duty of chivalry to protest.
Privileges that are inherent,
ancient and incontrovertible by
reason of the nature of those
who enjoy and exercise them
should never be put in ques-
tion. The privilege of getting
off a street car backward has
belonged to women since street
cars were invented, and will be
exercised by them so long as

the world rolls—provided street
ears continue in use.

At some sales they think because they advertise a reduction of 10”, 15%,

that we recognize none of the old stereotyped percentages—we have cut the prices
