Municipal
Election
RUPERT
civic
electors
have
a
clear-cut
PRINCE
field
for
expression
of
their
preferences
at
the
election
to
be
held
this
Thursday.
On
the
one
hand
they
have
the
Labor
slate
for
mayor
and
four
aldermanic
seats,
on
the
other
the
independents.
There
is
a
good
offering
of
able
candidates
any
of
whom
are
capable
of
satisfactory
service.
They
are
to
be
thanked
for
their
public
spiritedness
in
coming
forward
and
offering
themselves.
As
ion
the
mayoralty,
both
candidates
have
been
tested.
Mrs.
Arnold,
during
the
past
year,
has
made
a
good
impression.
She
has
been
as
capable
and
hard-working
a
chief
magistrate
as
many
of
her
male
predecessors.
During
her
term
of
office
she
has
made
many
new
friends
to
add
to
those
she
had
before.
Mr.
Daggett,
who
served
three
years
prior
to
this
year,
has
his
record
of
conscientious
service
to
submit
and
the
voters
can
compare
his
and
that
of
Mrs.
Arnold.
He
has
the
official
Labor
blessing
and,
apart
from
that,
may
have
,some"outside
support.
Half
of
the
aldermanic
candidates
have
had
previous
experience
on
the
council.
The
others
are
well
known
and
provide
a
good
block
of
talent.
It
may
be
that
some
new
blood
might
be
considered
desirable.
As
W
have
so
often
before
reminded
the
electorate;
the
city
is
a
large
and
important
business
organization.
The
electors
would
do
well
not
to
be
blindly
partizan
in
their
preferences
but
to
con-.
skier
seriously
who
are
best
fitted
to
be
entrusted
with
the
responsibility
of
carrying
on
the
management
of
their
business.
Above
all,
there
should
not
be
indifference
but
all
those
who
have
the
vote
should
show
their
interest
by
getting
out
and
voting.
It
is
not
only
their
democratic
privilege
but
is
also
a
duty.
Certainly
those
who
do
not
even
take
the
trouble
to
vote
have"no
right
to
criticize
loudly
as
they
sometimes
do.
FARE
INCREASES
COASTAL
steamship
lines,
which
increased
their
freight
tariffs
a
few
months
ago,
have
found
it
necessary
now
to
advance
their
passenger
fares
and
-thus
contribute
further
to
the
inflationary
spiral.
People
living
on
this
part
of
the
coast,
from
the
point
of
financial
outlay,
found
it
diffi-
.
cult
enough
to
make
the
odd
trip
to
Vancouver
even
under
the
old
fares.
Now
it
is
that
much
harder
and
the
increase
will,
no
doubt,
have
the
tendency
of
further
curtailing
travel.
Anything
that
mav
be
gained
from
the
increase
in
fares
may
quitq;
possibly
be
lost
in
a
shrinkage
of
volume
with
little
decrease
in
the
general
overhead.
When
operating
costs
in
every
line
of
business
ar
increasing
and
prices
are
advancing
all
along
the
line,
it
is
difficult
to
criticize
the
steamship
companies
for
their
action.
However,
these
increased
prices
are
not
the
answer
to
the
economic
maladjustment
which
is
becoming
greater.
There

no
doubt

charges
for
goods
and
services
do
so
reluctantly
and
even
with
a
feeling
of
futility.
The
levelling
;
off
must
come
soon
so
that
stability
may
be
'brought
about.
TWILIGHT
FOR
LOUIS?
THIS
MAY
BE
twilight
time
for
Joe
Louis
as
world's
heavyweight
boxing
champion.
He
was
close
to
defeat
in
New
York
last
Friday.
A
huge
crowd
of
fans
watched
the
unfolding
of
surprise
after
surprise.
They
were
astounded.
An
obscure
boxer,
it
seemed
painfully
plain
that
the
uuuiuci

miiiik
was
nn
longer
the;calm,
masterful
man
who
for
vears
had
k
the
fight
world
at
his
feet.
Within
a
few
rounds
he
betrayed
signs
that
all
was
not
well
and,
not
long
after,
he
was
battling
for
his
professional
life.
The
reason?
Some
say
the
increase
of
years,
soft
and
all
that.
These
could
contribute.
There
is
now
an
active
controversy
as
to
whether
Louis
actually
won.
Whether
not
the
bomber
or
will
attempt
a
come-.
back
is
open
to
question.
He
has
certainly
been
robbed
of
prestige.
And
when
a
celebrity
suffers
that,
the
general
outlook
is
far
from
cheerful.
The
world
loves
a
winner.
What
happened
on
Friday
will
stand
as
one
of
the
outstanding
stories
of
ring
history
a
rare
event
in

the
things
the
