The Daily News PRINCE RUPERT - BRITISH COLUMBIA. Published Every Afternoon, except Sunday, by Prince Rupert Daily News, Limited, Third Avenue. H. F. PULLEN Managing Editor. Member of Audit Bureau if Circulations. DAILY EDITION. c?B Wednesday, May 25, 1927 NOT A SINGLE KICKER IN TOWN There is a little .town in the United States which boasts that every citizen is a booster and that there is not a single knocker in the whole community. The result is that the place is going ahead and making the most of its potentialities. Prince Rupert has business enough for a city twice the size. If all the people who do business here lived in the city and all the money made here was spent in the district, it would be so prosperous that the whole continent would know about it. The few showers of rain that annoy us would annoy us no more bewiuse we should not have time to think about them. The place in which every person speaks of it with pride is the place that succeeds. It is noticed that many people are glad to come here from the larger cities and can make a better living here than in the south, and yhile they are here they continually revile the place. That is" something that should not be tolerated by the people here. They should insist that when they employ men and women, these men and women should at least speak well of the place that is feeding them. DRAWBACKS TO DEMOCRACY There are drawbacks in a democracy. The autocratic method had many advantages over the present system. Here is a small instance in point. Canada is without an official national anthem. There is an anthem which somewhat approaches the desires of the people and which is used extensively. '-'O Canada" is very appropriate but there are many versions of it and no one is willing to give up his pet version in order to unite on any one. Recently the Weir version was adopted officially but that means nothing. At once there was a burst of protest from all sorts of organizations that had learned some other version and familiarized themselves with it. They refuse absolutely to adopt the official version, so we shall have to go on with our medley of versions until ,in a century or two one has gained the ascendency and the less popular have perhaps died a natural death. That is democracy. It reflects the spirit of the age in which any attempt to regulate anything coming within the rights of the people is immediately the subject of protest. The way to popularize any particular version would be to Issue an edict that it must not be used. WHERE IS THAT JAPAN CURRENT STORY? v R.B.D., one ofthe editorial writers of the Victoria Colonist, wno Is always interesting, writes in a whimsical manner of the weather and the Japnese current. He says: Last year when we had a remarkably early and an unusually dry spring, some people we know attributed the abnormal weather conditions to the Japanese current. Reasoning from effect to cause, these people declared that the Japanese, current, which is to the Pacific Ocean what the Gulf Stream is to the Atlantic Ocean, must have excavated a new channel through the great and deep waters of the Pacific, and was flowing and gurgling closer to the coast of this continent than it ever did: before. Not knowing very much about n physical phenomenon of that kind, we were content to accept that explanation for the unusual condition of the weather. If that exposition of the meteorological vagaries of last spring be accepted, than the Japanese current must have changed its course again and returned to its yild channel; or possibly it has' dug a new channel a longer distance from the coast of this continent; for the spring of this year isUiuitej as far behind the times as the spring of Jast year was ahead Vf 'the! Mines. ,' And, although (here are people who-grumble about the state-of the weather, las there probably, always will be people who grumble about the state of the weather, take a look around at the grass upon the fields, the foliage upon the trees and the bloom upon the broom, and tell us if Nature ever was so attractively arrayed as she is this year.

On another occasion a school of porpoises literally blocked his way.
