The first reaction of a flower lover in hearing of such an act is to set clown, the culprit as on a par with the kidnappers of the Lindbergh baby, for they carry away and destroy something full of life and: beauty. Second thought, however, mav set it down as an act of thoughtlessness of one who has no soul for the beautiful and who does not realize! When. Mr. Longwill started his garden last year, many people-spoke of him as another of the public spirited citizens who were trying to do their bit to improve the city. This spring the result of his work became, more apparent and there were possibilities of much greater things for the future. Then came the thief who spoiled, the effect of a year of work. Happily Mr. Longwill: is not one to be daunted by such an act. He has public opinion with him .and! all will be watching to try to spot the thief. . A few years ago complaints were made of flower thefts but today most people grow their own flowers and do not have to steal. At any rate there is opportunity for all to grow their own which is far better than stealing and destroying.. If the thoughtless person who tore out those flowers from Mr. Longwill's garden wall reads this, we hope he or she will realize how foolish and useless it is to destroy a flower and will make amends bv startincr a trar- den of his own. It's so much easier to destroy than to create. Up in Ottawa (not "down" in Ottawa) they are picking a cabinet for Right Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King and in that cabinet we notice such names as O. G. McGeer and Hon. Ian MacKenzie of Vancouver; Professor Norman McL. Rocers of Queen's Universitv: C. D. Howe, the man who built the Prince Rupert elevator; Premier Mit- chell Hepburn,, the man who has been cleaning up Ontario;, Hon. Angus Macdonald, premier of Nova Scotia: Colonel G.. G.. Power, one of the Young Liberal erroun of Quebec; There will' be a smattering of the old cabinet but nothing like enough to control the policies of the new one. If the men here mentioned should be' chosen it would mean, that Mr. Bennett's new deal would look pretty old belore very long.. If you have something to sell,, a classified advertisement in this paper will soon let you know if there is a buyer in uie city. r r The Letter Box A LOW DOWN THIEF editor. Daily News: As you. are the leading spirit working towards the beautlficatlon i of Prince Rupert, I hope you will grant me a little of your space for j Uie following letter In the' spring of last year I decided to Improve the landscape in front of my residence at' Second! Avenue and Nlnthi Street. After several months of. hard work In clearing the land and building a dry retaining- wall along the rock bluff, my wife and I decided we would try the experiment ofi a rock garden there, to take away, the drabness of nature in the raw. My wife obtained various specimens of rock and other plants and planted them along the rock bluff j and between the rocks of the wall. The result this spring has been j very pleasing indeed and has been commented on and admired by . hundreds o' passersby. One gentle-.man from Victoria. "topped in pass ing one evening and commented on the work we had done. Well, Mr. Editor, we are wondering if It is worth, all the trouble to try to make Prince Rupert a city of flowers. Just at the time when the various plants looked pretty with their contrasting shades along comes that detestable pest creeping in the night when folks are asleep 1 1 mean the common or garden thief) to rob us of all our pleasure and one of the best blooms which was admired by everybody passing. The thief was. no. lover ot flowers or he wouldn't have- dragged them out by their roots to wilt Perhaps some neighbor will, see them hanging their poor heads in disgust. Two weeks ago Sunday night, two pansy plants saved from, the frosts were- taken, and on Friday night last or early Saturday morning two clumps of Alyssum Saxa- tile or OoldlDust and two clumps of. Chleranthus or Siberian Wall flower were taken, all that I. had managed to save. It Is rather dis couraging to have one's garden carried off piecemeal don't you think? Well, I wish the guilty one all sorts of luck but Tm sure he will come to the conclusion that the stolen plants looked much prettier on that rock wall than In their present location. Thanklmy you in anticipation, WALTER LONG WILL. Man in the Moon what it means to spend a year or more bringing a plant Good afternoon, are you ready to the point of blooming and then to see it snatched away! for the new mm? in the darkness by one who is unable to appreciate itsj beauty. j Jake say e thinks heU quit rnnce Kupert lie just nates prosperity. What is there to grouse about if everybody is happy? A girl may be said to be ready for the battle of life when she has been through enough, Business. Is like a hand truck. It stands still until It Is pushed. While down at Ottawa they are talking about a new deal, what BriUsh Columbia needs. Is a square deal. The question agitating the public mind throughout Canada today Is: who Is. to be the leader of the op-position In the next Canadian parliament? All seem to be agreed, as to who will follow Mr. Bennett as prime minister. Big Flying Boat To Cross Pacific Pan-American Clipper Ship Make Flight to.
