DAILY EDITION

 

On May 22nd the Mayor
awoke from a long slumber to
,remark through his paper that
he had again returned to his
duty of protecting the city’s
interest and was proceeding in
charge of a well known skip-
per to locate a new water pow-
er for the city. The city
surely needs a brand new water
power for the Woodworth Lake
stream is almost gone dry and
Bill Manson hasn't got the pull
required to land the Work’s
Chanenl power. But since this
announcement of the Mayor,
everything has died down
again. Of course it is possible
that like Rip Van Winkle he
has taken his accustomed
sleep again and for that mat-
ter his bones may be bleach-
img on the rough hills bf
Work Channel. Somebody
should really see what has
happened to the Mayor. The
News hates to advertize again.

* . *

It seems a pity that just be-
cause Alderman Morrissey
pledged himself before elec-
tion not to sell the city’s long
term issues for a price as low
as ninety, that the best inter-

ests of the city must be
jeopardised.
Both the Mayor and_ the

Chairmag of the Finance Com-
mitiee had so far committed
themselves on the subject be-
fore coming into office that
they have treated with indif-
ference offers of less than
ninety since received for the
long term issues, and the city
must suffer in consequence.
When a city elects men to
conduct its financial affairs,

QE

who have no knowledge of the
subject in hand, or who are
guided in their decisions by
prejudice, the city must expect
to foot the bill.

. . *

The Mayor says he won't try
to sell any more debentures
until the Council makes up its
own mind on the situation. It
is evident that there will be no
debentures sold this year.

. . .

What reliance is to be placed

in men who one minute
strongly advocate a plebiscite
on the financial question and

drop it like a hot potato the
next?
* * *
No attempt has been made
by the Council this year to dis_

pose of the city’s long term
issues.
Alderman Morrissey seems

to dominate the situation, and

the policy pursued has been

one of “drift.”
* * *

Mr. H. 8. Clements, the mem-
ber for Ottawa from this dis-
trict—that is the “popular”
member—spent a few days in
town recently, but departed as
quietly as the proverbial gen-
tleman who stole away in the
night.

It is not on record that our
member was overly anxious to
talk of the postoffice deal while
he was here, and in fact he ap_
had little to talk
about that after a brief grand
stand play, supplemented ‘by
the usual salutations from the
little trombone, our member
betook himself to other parts,
doubtless to his home in Van-
couver.

Philadelphia July §.—Mrs
Cyrus Niver, the only woman
member of the new state moving
picture censorship board, has
come to the conclusion that one
yard of film is long enough for
one kiss, after several weeks
spent here in passing on thous-

ands of yards of love-drama
films.

Love seenes and historie ro-
mances, thrilling escapes and
runaways, harrowing deathbed

repentance and wild elopements,
the excess of poverty and the ex-
treme of wealth, all pass in

Wil it harm the child? What
will it on the grown
boy or girl? These are the ques-
tions Mrs. Niver asks herself.
She has sat through yards and
vards of of every variety,
and her ultimatum, after watch
ing which occupied
five yards of film, was that four
