DAILY EDITION Thursday, August 21, 1924. Regret TIeup Of Interior Mines. It is unfortunate that through a dispute between the joint owners of several of the mines of the interior of northern British Columbia should be tied up. The ore is there and the owners have the money to work it but because of a dispute there is a shutdown. It shows how much the prosperity of the country depends upon individuals. Sometimes one wonders if too "much power is not placed in the hands of individuals and corporations. Quiet Struggle Always Going On. There is a quiet struggle' for more power going on all the time by the outlying portions of the British Empire. Canada has complete powers to regulate 'her own affairs with the one exception of being allowed to take cases for final adjudicature to the Privy Council of fireat Britain. If the Empire is at war, however, the case is different. The foreign relations are governed by the cabinet of the British Government in which Canada is not represented. If Britain is at war the Empire is at war. We soon find that out, but we have nft say in averting war or in the settlement except by courtesy of the British Government. As a matter of fact Canada has no rights except such as she demands and just now she is demanding a lot. This naturally causes friction for British officialdom has been always difficult to move. Canada's Position From Both Sides. In a speech recently Right Hon. 'W. L. Mackenzie King slated thai Canada would accept nothing but perfect equality in the matter of imperial relations, bhe objected to taxation with out representation. lib meant of course that he objected to paying for wars with which the country is not concerned except indirectly. .... lIFLrl. II I a ii r - r . . ... nne me siep' ianen oy me. lianaaian premier is right as far as it goes, it must also be remembered that Canada contri butes nothing to the British navy and does almost nothing in the way of naval defence. If we are to have privileges we must be prepared to pay for them. Australia is doing it and Canada will have to follow suit. We have not ye I reached that stage in development where there is no danger of attack from aggressive nations. We may have to defend ourselves at any time and the best way to do this is to be prepared. Eyes Of Politicians Focus On Nelson. The eyes of those interested in politics are focused on Nelson but nothing more than conjecture comes from there. Both sides express themselves as positive of the result of the election and those on the outside find it difficult to know what is really going on. The chief speculation is as lo what will happen after the election. If the premier is elected he will carry on with a small majority and with a healthy opposition. If defeated the whole situation would have to be considered. The government would probably be reorganized under a new premier and await the coming session when it would, soon be seen whether or not an- uuier election were necessary. Probably a loose union of Liberal and Labor would be effected that would make admin istration of affairs possible. i The Ship is Yours Travel Cunard- Canadian Route for Scenery and Luxury G Travelling to Europe via the Cunard-Canadian Route, long before you lose sight of the banks of the glorious St Eawrence, you realize that no other existence could be more free from care and worry.

II is said that since the Victor record "Sleeii" has been oonulnr. Prince Jtuprt is losing its pep. IT cannot be saht that some; of llm younger set of this city is being affected by the soothing melody. ONE nf I lie rlilef handionns of the people here is that Ihey are unahle. to talk golf. It is important to iilay gulf but to talk it is said to be indispcnsihle to modern progress. HOLIDAYS are nearly over; Soon the youngster will be back, And will fill their hei-ids with knowledge, Which just now they sadly lack. THEY are building highways through, darkest Africa six hun dred mites in length but through northern B.C. in the neighborhood of Prince Rupert highways are a thing of the future. Why not turn into savages and get concessions? IK we get all these useless old institutions like the Canadian Senate reformed what will there )e for politicians to talk about? THIS round the world flying is very much like life in the north. It consists of about nine parts out of ten "hope." KID McCoy left "his eighth wife to live with another man's wife and then he started to shoot things up. No ordinary person with less matrimonial experience could quite sympathize with the Kid. If Solomon were here now, ho might possibly he a fit judge to try the case. Nio one alive now would likely know how it feels to have had so many trials. THERE are so many funny things in real life that it seems curious that people should want to read a humorous column.

WHY MEN LEAVE HOME WELL WORTH SEEING The picture "Why Men Leave Home" shown last night at the West holme, is an unusually in leresting film. It is not exciting or Is it particularly dramatic, but it is unique and attractive and the parts are well portrayed. It is not a comedy but there is plenty of humor in it, a brand of humor that will appeal strongly lo grown up people. The play is to be shown again tonight. FINE FRENCH FISHERMEN DUBLIN, Aug. 21.
