Jan. 26, 1934 While we like democracy better than any other system of government that has yet been devised, we all have to admit that it has many weaknesses and is not by anyj means an ideal form of government. Take our own city ai an instance. Here in Prince Rupert we had an election in ;the autumn from which we have not yet fully recovered, v Now we are to endure another election probably during the coming summer or before. A member for the Federal Parliament has to be elected and the contest is likely to b& a hot one, with probably three candidates in the field. This will unsettle business, cause a certain amount oi ill-feeling and result in nothing in particular. The affairs of state, will still carry on no matter who is elected. In the city: things are different. The commissioner carries on his work quietly and efficiently without causing any of those annual disturbances in the form of elections. In spite of the unpleasant adjuncts of the democratic system it should be possible to treat an election much like we should a football match between rival teams. The difficulty is that the game of politics is tainted with profes-' sionalism. Drop into a party meeting on either side and it is usual to find a large number of those present are men who are getting something from the government or who expect to get something. They are not actuated by motives of public interest but by self-interest. That is one reason for the springing into life of the various new groups and parties who hope by changing the method to rid the country of the selfish hangers on. At a time like this it is incumbent on those who. wish td see.good government to take a prominent part in the acti vities of the various political parties in order that the work of organization and administration of party groups be not left with those who are using the parties for their. own personal benefit. That is the only way to save the old parties a'wF the present system from sure destruction.

Lindsay scored ten points for the Merchants and that is why thei Students lost in the Intermediate! League. Armstrong had his eye cut I In a questionable collision wlth: Moxley. Hungerford's men were lueky to beat the Kalens in the Senior League. It was a close exciting contest. It was hammer and tongs right from the start with the Kalens playing the better floor game although Conductor Johnson kept his train crew in hand most of the way. Eight minutes before time the score was tied 12-12 and then Bullet Scott sank three to put his crew ahead four points at the interval ,18-14. Four minutes of the second half was gone when C. N. K. A. tied the score. The Kalens tied it up again with seven minutes left to play and It was still tied at five minutes to play.
