Editorial Notes and Clippings MAYOR NEWTON AND ILLEGAL GAMBLING. In his challenge to The News (published in his mouthpiece last night), Mayor Newton is making a bold grandstand play to enlist the sympathy and support of the intelligent and, fair minded electors of Prince Rupert, which, through the rankest inefficiency in handling | the affairs of the city during) the past year, he has most) hopelessly lest. To those who have their eyes open as to! what is going on in this city! the challenge is absurd. Every-| body on the street knows that “illegal” gambling is being | carried on openly and that, nothing is done to stop it. if Mayor Newton is so blind! he cannot see it for himself, it is only another demonstra- tion of his inefficiency and ample proof to the electors that the first plank in his plat- form, “a strict enforcement of | the law,” would be the first! plank to be broken if the city! should be subjected to the calamity of his re-election for | another term. ) CONSERVATIVE | CONDEMNATION. Evidence continues to ac-| cumulate on every hand that) the indignation aroused by the | methods resorted (to in the’ Macdonald paign is not a matter of party by-election cam- feeling. Conservatives are heard giving no less outspoken than to expression Liberals their condemnation of prac- tices in regard to which there i is only one opinion that can) be entertained by men of hon-| est mind. In the current issue | of the Orange Sentinel, the fol) lowing is the closing para-| graph of the letter of the Ot- tawa correspondent: i “The amendment to the ad- dress proposed by the opposi- tion is virtually a vote of cen- sure for the practices per- mitted in the Macdonald by- election. No one can deny that government = supporters were guilty of discreditable conduct in that contest, and it is a matter for regret that the main retort of the ministerial spokesman has been of the tu quoque description. What the Liberals did in Brockville and London, which the Con- servatives rightly condemned at the time, has surely nothing to do with the methods em- ployed in the Manitoba con- test.” This paragraph carries al! the more wieght from the fact | that it comes at the close of a! letter Which is undisguisedly friendly to the Borden govern- ment. — Winnipeg Free Press. “FROM HOME TO HOME.” HOTEL ELYSIUM Sid.
