Meet Mr. Melghen And Treat Him Well. ; 1 Let i- ail go out and m eel. Premier Mfighen ami treat him generously, He y the Premier of Canada, although it is thought by niHriy people he will not be premier long. However, for the time being he Holds that office and Liberal as well as Torv will try tu let him see that Prince Rupert people are liberal and not tilde Hound. ' r f AleigheuvisHaid to be n clever debater, although nul -it mus'i lirtitrpeakerjike Mackenzie King He must be a big man or lie would not lie leading a great party. - However much his political foes' belittle him, he is no weaklirig. He is a-worthy ypporieut for Mackenzie King and if his present jiicumheut-y of ofice shoufd be short, he i.s young enough to stage, a later comeback. We have often urged Prince Rupert people to be tolerant and not to take their politic too seriously. Here is an opportunity to how how big we pun be. Let us welcome Mr. Meighen as if-we were all Conservatives. We do not have to vote for him. Fusion Candidates In Large Numbers. s Fusjoincandidales who are pledged to support the Government or Mackenzie King are being nominated in many constituencies.- This means au increased Liberal support and a larger majority for the Liberal Government when it is re-established. At any rale that is the oinioii of many who are trying to ize up the situation from au unbiased standpoint ' There j, no good reason why people with Liberal trend of thought .should opiiose each other and thus let Conservative get elected-by a minority vole. Inconsistent Position of Premier Melghen. Premier Meighen is an apt political Speaker and unless bis addresses are analyzed they nre likelj to mislead. According to the' telegraphed report yesterday he urged .higher tariff, a stable prytedu'e. tariff and thou if the manufacturers raise the prices he Would take the tariff off. ' - 1 i, -V1'' i,e'Kljen i a humorist undoubtedly aiid is making fun of the.pejiple. He is. laughing, at Ihem or'.he wwuld not rtv iirh thing;.. I'llow could a taHrf that wits liable to come off any day be a stable protective tariff? It is the very opposite of stability. Mr. Meighen knows that he and bis cohorts roared their heads off because Mackenzie King reduced the duly on motor cars and he ami know that reducing the duty reduced the price increasing the duty increases the price and decreasing the duly decreases the price. It always has been so and there is no reason to think there will be any change now. China to Use , More Wheat Flour. China will use twenty per cent more wheat flour this year than last, .according to a prominent Chinese miller. ThN wheat is being purchased in Canada and win go out through the western port. lo..blless some of it rass through prince Rupert. This will be good business for us. Every increase in consumption of flour in the Orient gives us more prospective binines Your Summer Treat SHREDDED WHEAT with Ripe,Red Berries SALMON PACK AHEAD OF 1925 Pinks Runntyig Well In Skena River Just Now; Cohoes Taken by Trollers - In the Skcena and ,'aas Rivers Die run of pinks slarledSiff well last week and is much improved over the rim fop the .correspond in? period last year.
