DAILY EDITION 98 86 Tueday, July 19, 1927 MAIL SERVICE MUST BE IMPROVED It is understood that an official of the Post Office department is now in this district and this might be a good time to take up with him the unsatisfactory condition of the mail service to thin city. The Post Office has changed very little here to keep pace with the growth of the city. It is operated in a rented wooden building and the letters arrive from the East only three times a week. That means that once a week there is a lapse of three days between mails. Such a condition in a citythe size of Prince Rupert is unthink able. The local officials of the department do everything in their power to expediate the sorting and distribution of the mail but when so much mail arrives on three days of the week and nothing on others. no such thing as efficiency can be expected. On a previous occasion a change for the better was asked and the post office department said the cost of improving the service would be too great. A price of something over seventy thousand dollars was given, but that it is not thought would be necessary. All that is asked is that a baggage car service should be instituted at the larger points along the line and that letters should come through from "Edmonton every day and go out to Edmonton and points beyond. It has been suggested that the points which should be given improved service would include Terrace, Smithers, Telkwa, Burns Lake, Vanderhoof and Prince George. Possibly there may be others but at any rate it is time a beginning was made in the way of trying to keep the post office service up to date and in keeping with the Dusiness none at mis point. . v . , J .; . r v.- , i , A hick town is oneHvhere ihe?revSIde'hts ajre'wifling to put up with anything and the people are too indolent to ask for improvements. EFFECT OF FREIGHT RATES Business of the Pacific coast is affected by railway freight rates of which so much has beeen hard, but another important factor and one which is more variable, is ocean rates. Last fall ocean, freights were high with the result that much of the grain went out over the eastern route. This year there is a big drop in rates and It is possible that this will cause a considerable improvement in Pacific coast shipments. If ships are available at rates around thirty shillings or a little more, a large movement of grain is likely to be sent this fall to European points. 'Just now the rate is thirty-two shillings and six pence, a'very considerable drop over what was paid last year. Now that the pools are able to hold up the price of wheat, and the price of most other products of the farm are high, is it not about time to cease talking about helping the farmer and turn attention to helping newspaper writers? POLITICS AND DIRTY POLITICS ' We all quibble over words, afod perhaps there is no word over which we quibble as much as over the word "politics," Politics is He' .science of government and as such is a necessity .in every progressive community. ; But there have been a good many people who doiunderhand thinks when In politics with the result that the word has become debased in its . meaning .and .a good, many people when they think of politics, think of graft. It is unfortunate that such a condition should exist. It is largely due to the action of men who on the hustings wish to hrlnir discredit on those in power and who are always hammering the representatives of the other parties and using the word politics in Its degraded sense and saying that they willnot be politfcians. . Yet we do not want any person in parliament who is not a student of the science of government. In fact we do not want any person there who is not a politician. Any person not a politician is an ignoramus. He knows nothing of the business upon which he is aoout to De launched. illy Sid Webb) Amidst deafening cheers of thousands of loyal subjects linfnjr beautifully decorated streets, the King and Queen, in an informal "family" drive, and unattended by any military display whatsoever, officially opened the new Regent Street. The King, who wore morning dress with a white flower in the buttonhole, looked hale and I hearty, and repeatedly raised his top hat In acknowledgment of th 'plaudits of the crowds.jwhile ihe Queen, a dignified figure In aitver-Jgrey and a silver toque, bowed and smiled In a real friendly manner.

IIISTOKV OF KMIKNT ST. Regent Street was built In 1813-20 and cut Its way through a very dirty and poor part of London at that time. In fact It Is said that at one time even today there Is a large police sta tion known as Vine Street Folic Station Just a few doors from Regent Street, this naming evidently being a link with the pasf. It got the name Regent Street from the fact that it was built by the Prince Regent, George Augustus Frederick, son of George III., who, during the latter part of his reign, was unable to attend to affairs of state owing to Ill-health. It .had been the Prince Regent'a intention to build himself a grand house on Prim rose Hill, the thoroughfare to , connect the old Buckingham House (now Buckingham Palace) with the proposed flew mansion In the vicinity of Regent Park. However, even the plans of Prince Regent's sometimes fall by the wayside, and with the death of George III., the Prince was forced to forsake bis Ideas of a new mansion and thereupon devoted himself to the reconstruction and renovation of Buckingham House, which from that time became known as Buckingham Palace. Regent Street has always catered to the more or less wealthy class being bom. to to speak, under Royal Patronage, and the name Regent Street today stands for the best In the world from a shopping standpoint. With the rebuilding ot the street since the war It has become a much wider thoroughfare and the buildings are quite a lot higher, in fact it is one of the most if not the most tnposlng shop ping street In the world today. Natural ly the rents have risen tremendously during the past 100 years and today shop premloes on the street afe rented at somewhere around 3000 (10,000 dol lars) a year. A (iOOII HTOKV There Is a good story going th round of the west-end. and oh on the.Britlslt workman. An old resident of London was taking a visitor down the new street at a time when the workmen were bus) re-bulldlng the place. After explaining various things and contrasting the old buildings with the new. th resident said to the visitor, "Well, Charles, and what do you think of the new build lugs?" Charles was sUent for a moment and then remarked: "Well, I think the new buildings are a wonderful improvement upon the old but I don't quits can say that conversation la abort with the average flapper.
