A. C. baseball team from Vancouver for the fair is a move that will undoubtedly prove very popular here. Local ball players have had an idea of touring the south on several occasions but have found it impossible to get away. Now they will have the opportunity to try their skill against what is looked upon as the best team in the province. If they make a good showing, as is confidently expected of them, they will know better what to do. Most people like watching baseball. It is undoubtedly the favorite attraction in Prince Rupert and in most other centres. People from the district will here have an opportunity of seeing some good games without going south. Ifc should be a great attraction and should bring hundreds to the fair who otherwise might not come.

On former occasions the event has been held at Port Essington of some other up-river centre. The decision to hold it m Prince Rupert is a compliment to the city and doubtless the citizens will reciprocate by lending all possible aid to make it a success. Prince Rupert appreciates the visits of the natives from the surrounding villages. The people of the city point with pride to the wonderful changes which have taken place and to the fact that the native people are taking their places as important factors in the development of the northern and central part of the province. The choice of the city for this important occasion will mean another step lorwara toward bringing the peoples together and securing for them a standing which they otherwise would not have. We are glad to have the opportunity of extending to them a welcome. CYCLES AND POLITICS Mr. King and the Liberals came into power at a time of business depression, says the Financial Post They rode upward with the country on the cycle of prosperity and took a great deal of credit to themselves for having created that prosperity. But when the cycle moved on remorselessly again to something like depression the Conservatives blamed the Liberals for hard times. Mr. Bennett and the Conservatives are going into power at a time of business depression. But, in the words of the popular song now current: "good, times are coming" and Mr. Bennett and lis oolleagues will aio doubt not fail to point the moral. But hairA times will come again (recent events having demonstrated that business cycles are still .Wit!) us) and then no doubt Mr. Bennett and the Conservative will blame world conditions and the Liberals will blame the Conservatives. Canada has its ups and downs (though mostly ups) whether Conservatives or Liberals are in power. No government at Ottawa has ever shown any ability to control the business cycle and the decree to whicl any of them has modified the effect of the business cycle on Canada has not varied much between governments of different political affiliations. Nevertheless, the party in power will always continue to take credit for good times and the opposition will retaliate by waiting for bad times and then blaming them on the government. It is a little game of political make believe, most people know that it is, but it goes on just the game and will continue until human nature and noliticians change FHEY CAM'T HIDE OUT diseases of the arteries with 61 nephritis with 58 and diarrhoea and enteritis (mainly amongst in fants) with 50 per 100,000 popula Uon.
