DAILT EDITIOH JH Saturday. Nov. 28, 1025. Mail order houses' are not doing Hie business I hey. did once. With the development in local centres mid the influence of keen competition and, 'persistent advertising, mail houses are losing their grip. People like lo buy where they can see the'poods ami have something more than a catalogue choice. Take Prince Rupert as an example. Here there' has been a much greater development in the retail business than is pener ally thought. Prices have dropped until Ihey compare favorably with those of other places and in many cases are as low as the mail order houses. v As the city grows, the development along thee lines will lie even greater. Daily we are becoming more like oilier. citie and the feeling of being in a frontier cily with frontier prices is being eliminated. One reason for the mail order success Jias been due to the persistent advertising they have done. Their expensive catalogues have been scattered far and wide at tremendous cost. The goods. iUey sell have -to pay for all that expene. Yet they have been 'afife to make profits. If local merchants 'advertised as persistently through the newspapers or oilier sources, the mail houses would, lyive their business tjU further restricted. Some houses are already doing thai and have themselves worked up a pood mail order business with outside places. It is they who have been the chief factors in putting the crimp in the mail order business. Washington Legislators Visit B.C. ParliamenL On Thursday the members of the Washington stale lepi lalure were the guests of the British Columbia legislature for a few hours during which they heard the minister of finance de liver his budget speech, they saw. bil( voted mi and passed and signed by the Licutcnaut-tiuvemor and they would have explain eu lo Ihem the elastic nature of the constitution of this country as; com pared with the rigid system of their own. These international visits lend toward f mil v of purpose. They help u$ to setrtjie. ' IvIthTflgcT.jd'djtlhapes of each system, iiotumcss uie memners or the iMi. Legislature learned a good deal from their visilors mid the result js an addinl inter est in the affairs of each oilier generally. Progressive Gain In Peace River. The Progressives have gained a seal in Peace River, which offsels the one that went Conservative recently. It is one more indication that the present government is likely loreniain in power. The administration of the country must gn'on and the country certainly does not want -another election. The onlvl p.(ion is for the Mackenzie King government to continue. . AVe-do not yvanl to seem to be 'trying to lull the op(osiliou into a condition of somnolence until an election is sprunp for with such a small majority as the government will have it must be admjtted that carrying on will be a difficult task. At the same lime it is not good for the country thaC il should lie in an everlasting condition of turmoil. . The election is over and some jk'ople do not seem lo realize the fnet. Let it talk about some thing else. There is work to be done in this ennslitiiency other tnau lKilitical. 1 Ins is the time to be aoing it. City Manager To Be Made Possible. It seems us if it will he possible for Prince Ruperl lo hae a city manager if the citizens so decide. A lull i before the British Columbia Legislature providing for it but it has not yel parsed, Hmvevp.r. the legislative committee has approved it and it i. likely to become law. A great many cilies are using the cily manager system with gooil results. Possibly there have been a few failures. largely because political influence were too strong. JO lie overcome by any system. If il is a'' better system of government Of , lilies. and Hie prepoinlcreure of opinion seems to favor il, we 'should no' hesitate to adopt il here.

Much in Public Eye Today They Are Fighting Men Who Believe Gate to Better Life Is to Die Fighting for Liberty: Believe In Reincarnation Today there is a struggle pomp (in. in Svrin in which the l)rue Tribesmen and Hie French are principally concerned. 'A. I). Kerrimiui. in the Manchester (iiiunhflu tells about lhee immi- plo and of frequent visits made to their ,Iifimo.

I impiircd of bis master. "Ilow can they be nice when they are not of the true religion?" was the reply. Hie speaker was a Syrian Protestant. Shortly afterwards I found myself at Dahlieh, one of the. two Druse villages on Mount) fiarmel. It was the first time t had been in a place where titer wn neither church yor mosipie fior synagogue, and tin absence struck me as singular. The kalwehs. or meelinir houses of Die Druses, bear no outward stgn distinguishing them from an. ordinary dwelling, and tliey are not frequented liy Hie whole population, bill only by .the initiates '("hey are "tiled" lite a Mnsonii lodge, an. I none can normally filler ave those who have a right to do so by virtue of their in itiation. On cerinili occasions tranters are admitted, but net to worship. Of the. nature of Hie ceremony no one lias yet given nn adequate account. Calf Worship 1'he vulgar notion, both amomr Christian ami Mo'lem Syrians, is that the Druse practise calf worship, for which there are no better grounds than for that of the ancients that the early i.hristians worshipped an as. It t. Hie rMil of Hie secrecy with which the Druses surround Hieir religion. They seek no converts, tind if questioned about it ask what is the faith of the question er, ir me reply is ' i.iiristian or Moleni," the rejoinder i "So am I." Some of their tenets. however; are known. . My older! was i tut the nigtit at Dalilieli. and I had no diffi- Otiliy in finding shelter. Iridee ftie offer was made without any effort on my part, for hospitality a .aural duly with tile Druse. in common with most other Orientals. So I found myself in- slnlled in a household differing In no way visjile to me from an jtraw one of Ihe better class- die broad divan running round jwo sides of Ihe room, I he floor Covered with grass mailing, cruuuloiisly clean, the capacious cupboards in the wall, from which in due lime were drawn Ihe mattress and (milled cover let which composed my bed.

And Ihey were very some tall. ttatcly, with something of the iliauily of a Unman matron, according to Hie conventional ac ceptation of Uie phrase. Only Ihey look no part in the conversation. On this subject of veiling I have read sojiiewhere that Druse women remain strictly veiled even in the presence of visitor of their own sex. I bis alonilies me, for neither here on Carinel nor afterwards in the Anti-Lebanon and the Jebcl II nu ran. wbere I have enjoyed Druse hns- pitiWilf, have the women concealed their faces. j I don't know how (bis particular household was composed.
