The Calgary News Telegram emphasizes the importance of building up a city on its social side. Many believe that cities are made of fine buildings, magnificent | residences, beautiful streets, excellent water supply, gas, electricity, transportation facilities, etc. stood still and finally relapsed into a comatose condition from which they have never awakencd, simply because of this belief. There is something more than commerce, buildings, and strects necessary to make a city inviting to prospective settlers or residents. The foundation on which depends the future development of a community is its social life. It is a good sign that such things are being said in the West. It is sometimes alleged that the West thinks too exclusively of the prosperity that is measured by the price of wheat and town lots. These sermons, like those which are preached on ‘‘the gross mater- ialism of the age,’’ are somwhat exaggerated. There is something better than materialism in the warm welcome that the West extends to the stranger,and in the optimism that encourages enterprise,stimu- lates energy and brightens life. Still, in the rush of development there may be danger of forgetting some elements that are essential to the building up of a really great city. Slums will grow up in the newest of cities. People will herd together under conditions as bad as those of New York, although they are surrounded by thousands of miles of prairies. The young com- munity is wise when it knows it must grow old, and takes thought for its old age. What are we doing in this direction in Prince Rupert today? NOTES DUE It is significant to find the number of Conservatives openly sup- porting the Government on the reciprocity issue. Interviewed they are quite outspoken in their advocacy of the agreement. “Don’t misunderstand me,”’ said W. H. Cherry one of the most prominent. ‘I have always been a Conservative, and am one yet. I am voting and working for reciprocity and the Liberal candidate simply because I think the proposed arrangement is a good business proposition. I am not so hidebound as to support my party at all times. Reciprocity would be a priceless boon to the farmers and constituents of Haldimand. They know it, and are going to vote for the reciprocity candidate.” Hundreds of Conservatives all over the Dominion, who are sen- In this belief a great mistake is made, | and many towns that might have developed into greai cities have | THE DAILY NEWS _—— ees CONGRATULATED BY THE KING li | | | j Mr. Lloyd George and His Favorite Daughter eooooo0ooooocooeooooacooc 0000000 A LEADER OF LIBERALISM “Yonder in Old England, there stands triumph- ant the leader of Liberalism, a great statesman, an intellectual giant, a fearless fighter, and a true man. He has accomplished in the last few hours a bloodless revolution unequalled in world-history. The power of arictocracy to stand in the way of progress is at an end. It is the onward march of free men, the triumph of the people in the battle of the masses against the classes. As a Liberal I exult in that victory. Asa Canadian I feel its inspiration. For Canadian people —common, everyday people like you and me—-have the battle before us. Our war is waged against the class of moneyed interests, gradually growing, under the discrimination of protective tariffs, into huge trusts and combines which threaten to crush the life of the nation. But, as in Britain, so in Canada. As in matters of caste privilege, so in matters of trade. Abuse must lead to battle, and the people's battle can result in no other end than victory.'’—Sir Alan Aylesworth at Newmarket. ° ° ° 9° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° So ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° o S So ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° °o ° °o eooooooooocooscoooo ooogc cooocooos sible business men, using their practical profitable common sense as|—= well as their pioltical minds are saying the same thing just as straightly. If only those indoor baseball matches of ours in Prince Rupert could be turned into the out-door variety by the provision of a proper park we'd have one of the greatest attractions of the cicy right with us, and be able to appreciate it to fuller advantage. Far too few people seem to be aware of the fact that here in Prince Rupert besides some of the best business minds of the West, we have some of the best athletes, and a community of quite the keenest lovers of healthy legitimate sport. Who doesn't remember Dominion Day, and how magnificently the crowd stayed with the events, and cheered home athletes who did their part even more magnificently? Every week now at the indoor baseball games for the Manson Cup presented by the Mayor to the First Athletic League ever formed in Prince Ru- pert, you will see the same enthusiasm displayed, by crowds of the livest of our young men, and the liveliest and most popular of our girls. When the girls begin to take an interest and cheer the boys on in their plan to get a proper park soon for the big ball game things in that direction begin to look like going some. The Province of British Columbia is now getting a great deal of valuable publicity. The Canadian Century recently said that “British Columbia is not only the biggest province of the West, but it has the greatest natural advantages. It has extensive areas suitable for growing fruits, vegetables and grains; its fisheries are very val- uable; its forests are unequalled; it has gold, silver, copper, lead, iron and coal in abundance, as well as numerous waterfalls, which when developed will furnish cheap electric power; ard its magnificent harbors are open throughout the year. There is almost no branch of industry that could not be successfully prosecuted in that great province.” The Continental Trust Co., Ltd. | VA AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $500,000 OFFICERS: WM. T. KERGIN, M.
