While we never felt that Sir Robert was a strong man we have always looked upon him as an honest man and one who has tried his best to administer the affairs of the country in the best interests of the people as a whole. We believe that most people will join with the Daily News in hoping that Sir Robert will very soon be strong enough to resume his position in the House~in time to retire gracefully when the time as it to all statesmen, when the people by their votes demand it. comes, comes Must Continuously Assert Ourselves. Should northern and central British Columbia be made into a separate province? A good many people think it should. It is argued that for every dollar raised in the country north of Van couver not more than fifty cents is spent. The latest suggestion is that the Canadian National line o! railway is to be made the main line and that tne part from Lucerne to Prince Rupert will be a branch line after it is taken over by the Government. “Change for Prince Rupert,’ would not sound well at Lucerne or Jasper. The people of this city will have to continually and continuously assert themselves in order to see that they get fair treatment. We are not prepared to say that it would be wise to go off on our own, but we do think we shal! have to talk big as well as act big in order to show the folks to the south that we really are something to reckon with in every move which affects our interests. Fruit Store Situation is Very Complicated. We have been asked to explain what is meant by the business classification bylaw which was passed Monday night by the City Council. As we understand it, until recently all the grocers in the city sold fruit and they closed their stores at 6:30. There were a few places which were classified as refreshment shops that also sold fruit and did not have to close at 6:30. Mr. Gavigan of the Table Supply decided that he would establish a refreshment business in connection with his grocery and he equipped his store for selling ice cream and other refreshments including fruit, in the latter of which he did a good business. Seeing what Mr. Gavigan was doing the Retail Merchants Association discussed the situation and decided to ask the Police Commissioners to close all fruit stores at 6:30 in compliance with what they considered were the provisions of the bylaw. Action was taken by the police under instructions from the com- missioners and Killas and the Table Supply were taken to court, but the case was dismissed by the magistrate. Then: the City Council took the matter up with the city solicitor and on the advice of that official brought in a classification bylaw which would have classified all places selling fruit 4s fruit stores and liable to close at 6:30. Wien the byiaw came before the City Council exceptiton was taken to closing all fruit stores at 6:30 on the ground that the public demanded the right to purchase fruit in the evening just as they purchase soft drinks or tobacco. A compromise was effected and the bylaw classified fruit stores as those which sold fruit in quantities larger than five pounds. This was designed lo prevent the sending out of crates of fruit after prohibited hours and thus Break into the business which it was considered right- fully belonged to the grocers. A demand was made that stores should be properly classified and then it should be left for the merchants to appeal and ge’ the bylaw repealed. The difficulty with that was that it took 7? per cent of the merchants to repeal the bylaw, whereas only 50 “per cent were required to get it passed. The difficulty with the present bylaw is that as it stands no grocer can fence off a part of his store for a fruit store and sell after hours unless he establishes a regular refreshment shop. Fruit stores must still close after 6:30, but refreshment shops may keep open. PENSLAR’S LAXATIVE COLD BREAKERS for Colds, Coryza, Influenza, Bronchitis, etc _ 35c. per Box The Prince Rupert Drug Co.
