DAILY EDITION. 7.M lESTrf m tA0UTI IBES1S1 flavour to your Tuesday, May 31, 1927 ARE OF HERO WORSHIPPERS The fact that one hundred thousand people turned out to welcome young Captain Lindbergh on his arrival irf England a few days ago after his wonderful flight across the Atlantic ocean indicates the present day trend toward hero worship. The young man was an American but that did not deter the British ieople from giving him his just due. Perhaps it accentuated it. At any rate the huge crowd represented British public opinion. A pig was recently born in Alberta with two faces and two tongues, both of which it uses. Just think what would happen if some of the two-faced people in Rupert had two tongues and used them. .MEN OF UNQUESTIONABLE CHARACTER Only people of unquestionable character are to be allowed in beer parlors, according to Commissioner Davidson. All men. unless intoxicated, come under Jhat ruling but women are different. To enter a beer parlor at once places them under suspicion and they are watched by the police and if they do not behave discreetly the place is closed. ' We suggest that the commissioner take his stand outside one of the Vancouver beer parlors and watch the crowd of old soaks coming out just before closing time and if he finds among them any men of "questionable character" he closes the parlor. There would not be a parlor left operating more than a day under such circumstances. The fact is that questionable men both in Prince Rupert and elsewhere frequent the beer parlors every day and nothing is said, .but. let a questionable .women enter and the license is endan gered. The place may harbor the professional runners for bawdy! houses and regular frequenters but they are men and are specially privileged. Women cannot be allowed to do the same as men be cause there is still a double standard, one for men and another for women. Laws have been made by men since the earliest ages and customs have been set by men who ruled their women and expected obedience. So we have inherited these laws and customs and look on some of them as of divine origin. We refuse to allow a thirsty woman to get a drink but any man, be he ever so vile, can get his glass of beer and nothing is said. It's wonderful how much trouble the loss of one little button may cause. .MUSSOLINI CODE WORKS About the best thing that can be said for the Mussolini method of ruling Italy is that it works. Possibly the country needed a dictator. At any rate the effect has been wonderful. Italians today are a different people from what they were a few years ago. They have a new pride in their nation and in themselves and their own destinies. They are working as they never worked before and are making good and rehabilitating the country. At the present rate of progress they will soon rank among the first class nations f the world and be a power for good or evil there. A hick town is one where it takes a good deal of a roanls time shooing the chickens out of the garden. ROADS NEEDED IN.

Considerable trail work is alss to be undertaken Into the Bulldog Creek section just south of the Marmot. A substantial appropriation ha been made for widening the switchbacks on Premier Hill, also for the improvement the Big Missouri trail, and other Salmon River work not yet detailed. EMPIRE POLICY HACKS I P GREAT RKIT.UN IX CON- M.TTIUX WITH RECENT AKCOS IIOtSE KEYELlTIONn It Is a matter of- no importance whether In a strictly technical sense, the action taken by the Canadian gov- :rnment In abrocatlng the trading privileges of the Soviet government waa ceceuary or not says the Vancouver Sur. The thine that matters is that Canada, by this gesture, ha shown that, for the Dominion, a wrong done to fir rat Britain Is a wrong done to herself. It is true that the canceUa-tlon of the original agreement may have carried with It automatically the cancellation of Canada's adhesion to it. It is also true, so far as the Dominion government Is aware, that the official agents of Russia in this country have not been guilty of espionage or subversive propaganda. But most Canadians would feel very uncomfortable if Canada had disregarded acts of hostil ity to the senior member of the family of nations to which ahe belongs. There can be no question as to the course this nation would have uken had Moscow begun open war against Oreat Britain. It Is proper that Canada should declare herself i equally on the side of Oreat Britain when Moscow Is is caught uwklug seciet war on Iter.
