The Daily News takes pleasure in again joining with the rest of the people of Prince Rupert in welcoming Sir Henry Thornton, the head of our railway system, on the success of which the success of Prince Rupert depends. Last year when he wsis hero he left everyone happy and this year he doubtless will again inspire in the people here that confidence which is necessary to the best co-operative work. Everyone here realizes the difficulties which have to be met and overcome in building up a big business like that of the National Railway system. It is the biggest business in the country and one of the biggest businesses in the world. It required a big man td handle it and that we believe we havp in Sir Henry Thornton. Everyone Has His Own Opinion. The articles written in this column are usually .the opinion of one man and cannot be said to represent all the community. Many people do not agree with those opinions and it would be queer if they did. In giving his opinion the editor does not expect that others are going to agree with him nor does he desire it. There is diversity of opjnion and very few think alike. Yet people like to read opinions even if they do not agree with them. And it is because people like to get an opinion on current subjects that the editorial column is written. It is generally understood that people disagree on politics but they also disagree on matters pertaining .to religion, sociology, economics, and almost every subject that may be discussed. What seems to one to he fact, to anotharas nurest. fic tion. So il goes all along the line. AVe all ,have our pet aver- muiis aim inversions. Some people never trouble to read this column and others read it religiously every day. To find out how many read it, the writer has only to step hard on somebody's toes and the fun is on. Pleasant To Meet ' Visitor From Abroad. It is pleasant to meet a visitor from abroad and to get his . outlook on things and perhaps absorb sonic of his enthusiasm. Here we live much to ourselves ami we are apt to get in a rut. We are affected by the small town influences. To hear the views of an outsider is refreshing and that is one reason why the Daily News often gives its readers opinions of visitors. The next best thing to meeting a visitor is to read what he says. Should Guard Against Gradual Slowing Down. The tendency in a small place where there is not very keen competition is to slow down, Gradually, the influence of the community affects the stranger and he succumbs in time. Sometimes it is found that the small town cannot compete with the big centre because of this tendency. It is said that people leaving Prince Rupert and going out into the busier places find it difficult to maintain their own in competition. The slowing down for a period of years has had a deleterious effect and the result is fataj' if kept up too long.
