THE
AMENDfc
HONORABLE
The
Government
of
British.
Columbia
has
publicly
apologized
to
Norman
Watt
for
having
dismissed
him
from
office
and
has
reinstated
him.
This
was
the
only
course
open
to
them
and
it
is
satisfactory
to
know
that
it
has
been
done.
Doubtless
the
minister
of
finance
was
badly
advised
locally
by
some
member
of
his
own
party
in
Prince
Rupert
who
was
not
sufficiently
cohversant
with
the
facts.
He
acted
hastily
and
has
already
suffered
part
of
the
penalty
for
doing
so,
The
only
step
now
open
to
him,
it
would
seem,
would
be
for
him
to
withdraw
from
the
administration.
If
he
does
not,
Premier
Tolmie
should
insist
that
he
do
so.
These
are
days
when
no
party

to

Tho
Tolmie
Government
has
found
this
totbe-te,
qnd
to
the
credit
of
the
party
it
is
noted
that
a
number
of
leading
Conservatives
in
Prince
Rupert
were
itist
as
keen
in
condemnation
of
the
dismissal
of
Mr.
Watt
as
were
the
Liberals.
They
made
thoir
protests
and
helped
to
bring
about
the
reinstatement.
We
congratulate
Norman
Watt
on
having
been
exonerated
and
reinstated
and
we
congratulate
Premier
Tolmie
on
having
done
the
right
thing

his
case,
