The tendency of the day is against long speeches and in favor of much greater condensation. It would be a pity to put a stop to the discussions on the address in reply to the speech from the throne which takes two weeks or more of the time of the Legislature but even so a curtailment of the length of speeches would add much to the interest of the debate and wouhl teach members a lesson they sorely need, the lesson of condensation and keeping to the s.ubject in hand. Parliaments do not need oratory. What they need is to be told facts in such form that they can be readily assimilated and be of practical value to the country. ONE LINE TROLL1NO REGULATION A dispatch received yesterday from Victoria states that Hon. William Sloan is protesting to Ottawa against a ruling that trollers on this coast may in future use only one line instead of fouror five as at present. The office here had at that time heard nothing of such a regulation but doubtless it ha been received at the fisheries office in the south. ' Such a regulation would be ridiculous and would stop all trolling. It is another example of the stupidity of the plan of controlling the Pacific coast fisheries from Ottawa. The trollers here or someone acting for them should send at once a strongly worded protest, making clear the seriousness of the situation. It is difficult enough for salmon trollers to make a living as it is but to further restrict them in the use of lines would put them out of business which cannot be tolerated. LIGHTING OF HECATE STRAITS For several years the Prince Rupert Board of Trade has been endeavoring to get the Marine Department to comply with the demands of the marine underwriters in lightinj? the entrance to Hecate Straits so aa to make it perfectly safe for navigation for grain ships. At present these vessels have to pass out through Dixon Entrance or they lose their insurance. The need there are not very great. The attention of the Board of Trade was drawn to the matter by a letter from Lloyd's agent, who refused to recommend marine insurance until a larger light had been placed on Bonilla Island and one or two smaller lights in order that they may be easy for ships to pick up in coming north. IMPERIALIST OR NOT IMPERIALIST? Hon. R. B.

Mr. H. P. Kergln'i (Altln) resolution, now before the British Columbia Legislature, does not even suggest what Can ada might give In exchange, and yet, : that is the only way In which business ; could be done with the United States. It may be that the panhandle Is of small present or prospective value to that country, while It possession ! would be of Immense Importance to Canada, and. Indeed, Its possession by ' Canada would be an asset In the development of Alaska as a whole. Such j a consideration would not enter into the attitude which the United States would assume on any proposal for the cession of the panhandle to Canada. The resolution before the British Columbia Legislature la. In its present wording, purely an academic one. It should pass unanimously, but only, at-, ter amendment, which would have a 1 tendency to bring It within the sphere j of practical politic.
