PANTAGES CONVICTION It seems a pity that a man who has apparently made a success in life suuch as did Alexander Pantages should then make a mess of things and incur the penalty of the courts. It perhaps goes to show that wealth is not the only thing in life for which to seek. When Mr. .Pantages sold out a large interest in his theatres he was placed in a po-srtion where he could buy almost anything he wanted. He iilfbft'he wished, take holiday for the rest of his life and otdfeel'the cost Then on the impulse of the moment he tmMwphe clutches of the law and today finds himself feii apposition where there is probability of his going to jail.' MACKENZIE KING COMING Mackenzie. King, the Right Honoraablo-Prime Minister of Canada, is due to visit Fnnce Rupert at the end of next week. He is honoring this city by mnkirig this one of the ?ewipfa'c8..where he would speak.. It is understood that i3'tobe entertained here at a dinner. If so it is hoped that it will not in any sense of the word be a Liberal din-Herhut an event for all citizens. Doubtless this is what is being planned. Mr. Mackenzie King represents Liberals, Conservatives, Labor and any other political groups that may be found in the country as well as the citizens that have no political affiliations. It is the Canadian Government, although conducted on Liberal principles. This is an occasion when all should join to do honor to thchead of the government. When Mr. .Bennett or sonie other person heads the government, we shall advise similar action. Let us recognize the head of the government as such and not as a party politician.
