It is a Tine thing to see peope interested in the government of their city. Jit that way only can we expect good government. And everyone, will agreHia' we need good government here. There are few place in the world where the building of ft city presents a many problems as in Prince Rupert. The townsile has baffled many a peron who thought to invest money here but ootid not realize huwa .city xOuld be buill on such a one as mew saw here. el it is not a bad tuwiiite except that it is difficult and expensive to bring Solo Jine as a modern eitv.

Those who have had Experience in vic government. ought to be the best judges as to the feasibility of some of their recommenda-liims, but it is honed they; will be given careful consideration. If we can. improve on the present melhods, we all hope those improvements will be made. The Ratepayers' Association alo has interested itself hf the affairs; ofHhe city. This is a time when tljp'besl advice is needed and "the mtisl careful thought 'should be. giSen to every .scheme advanced. AVhile the 'nly is not in bad. financial condition, the way' id keep Jike that is to watch our steps closely. Liberal Victory In' Ontario. . . - It was quite natural that Liberals should be elated over their victory in WWl Middlesex?' Ontario, when Hon. J. (L Klli-oltfimnister of labor, was elected' by a Jarge majority, almost twovoles to one.over his Ciii.iservative opponent. It is o ,e liopeti that the Mackenzie- King cveriimeiil will justify (he-trust inmosed in them by the people of the country. They will have a difficult row to hoe but the iirehiTer has a great deal of native nnlilv and much cultivated political astuteness.

In principle, Ihe was opposed to the proposal and, in any case, it would h.iv ; lo be proven to him lhal the oil was to benefit. There, was democratic principle involve I and, by making the change, he believe.! Ihat the city would be giving away a rl2ht to which it was entitled. Speaking from hi own personal experience.

He was of the opinion lhal, if tile rArtn-cil with Ihe co-oMration of the Citirens a a whole, urged Ih- city police to clean up the situation, results would be obtain ed. He further remarked lhaL if Hie policing of Ihe city was nlac ed in Ihe hand of men who uw Deceiving less than liveable alaries, the way was laid open for corruption and graft. i I i .. .mil uasey said lie was agree able to all possible information being obtained and to considering the idea on its merits hti wiln his present information, he was by no means committed lo a Change in policy at this time. He had always heen a believer in seir-government ami, if the City could nol direct its own holice affairs, he fell it was a lal stale of affairs.
