MacKenzie Furniture February Bed Special Single Beds as tow as $20 Complete jzsr 1.00 .02 .25 Monday, February 8, 1937 Congratulations, C. N. R. , The Canadian". National, is tq be congratulated on its good judgment in letting the steamship, Prince Rupert be repaired' in the company's own shipyard! here instead, of peing sent to Vancouver as was at first proposed. We would like to know who made the first proposal for we cannot realize how any concern could turn a job of that kiritf over to .another yard: when it had a yard of its own fillly equipped and well able to dp the work. Evidently someone at Vancouver is always trying to gei things, away fi;om Prince Rupert. Happily we have a live. head to oui' drv dock and shipyard here who, it seems, goes, out attter the. business when he feels it slipping away. While we appreciate the contract coming to Prince Rupert the first order given to; take the- vessel south leaves a nasty taste in the mouths of Prince Rupert people who cannot understand the mentality of the official, whoever he may bey who takes, every opportunity of. trying to rob this port Of, work, which should come. here. The contract for the Prince Rupert including the annual overhaul Will kqep a number of local people busy for a good many weeks.. Many Quick Changes The busjhess world-is kept fully alert these days watching for the, quick-changes that take place. Many of the older businesses? have nartlv faded from the nicture: Radios have tdk,di the place, of gramaphones and to a large extent of' pianos. The use of electrical refrigerators has taken, the, place of ice. Cars, have taken the place of bilggies and horse trucks. Coal is being nosed out by oil; Talking movies have taken the place of silent films' just as tie silent films took the place of the travelling theatre companies. In "The New American Tempo!' by Robert R. Upde-graff the need of adaptation to present day conditions is shown and the book also, points out how easy it is for businessmen to go to the wall today through not realiz ing modern trends and adapting their businesses to meet them.

Age caused him even then to decline -a place on its 1 bench after nominated him for the post ' Start of Career Root's public, career started with hl.s appointment, as a Federal District Attorney by, President Arthur in 1883. But after two years in that office ha werat back to private practice and had only a meagre background of public service whn In 1871, ihe was called to Washing tp'11 by President MKlnley to be y?circtary of War. This was on the heels of the Spanish-American conflict and he found the United. States army reflecting the effects of, the scandals w.hlch had followed criticisms of its foreign administration. "Embalmed beef" aromas hung oyer the departsnernt, to say nothing of. the popular Indignation over the fact that the American regulars and volunteers had been forced to wear heavy woolen uniforms in tropical Cuba and fight, with black powder ammunition whose smoke revealed their positions clearly to Spanish forces using the smokeless variety. Secretary Root reorganized the staff, system and. laid a sound groundwork of army administration that withstood acids test years later when submitted, to, the pruclbl'e of the World War. That his work was good Is written In the promptness with which he was called back to Washington to become Secretary of State under Roosevelt, against his own. desire to go on with the practice of law in New, York. Again it. was his lot to reorganize a. great governmental agency and he rebuilt .the consular and diplo matic services. Through them he worked more than seventy-five treaties. Goes to Senate Public life had claimed him de finitely now. He went from the cabinet to the senate, to stand squarely as a champion of party regularity In the hectic days of the Bull Moose movement. Wielding the gavel over ithe Republican. National. Convention at Chicago, he held ithe party un-wayeiilpgly to. a course that mean! defeat in the 'three-cornered battle of 1912. He stuck to his guns, trong in the belief that the Roosevelt defection was a passng mood, a belief that proved; itseli within his lifeUme. At the end of his senate term Mr. Root again sought retirement BuV with the World War. came a new duty, this time under a Demo- rati? adminlstraltlon,. when Presi dent Wilson made him head of. a spsiplal diplomatic mission to the ephemeral Kerensky regime in Russia. After the war Mr. Root was con cerned In the fight for American membership In the League of Na tions, trying his best to persuade h "d$e-ihardsr la the senate 0 accept compromises which he was. sure would safeguard this country from entangling European lalllances. Several times In later years he chlded the. men who blocked: the United States awaj from the Geneva organization In 1021 President Hardin? named him as one of the American delegates to. the Washington Amu Conference. There he led the flgt . agalrlst the use of poison fas'esnd .the right of submarines aitaqk merchant vessels without warning. . He engaged in the legal fkht aalnst the Volstead, Act; arguing, albeit unsuccessfully, in the sup reme court against the constitutionality of that law. 1 He main tained, that congress had not the right, under, the eighteenth am endment,, to limtt the alcoholic content of beverages to one-half 01 one percent. Born In New York Mr. Root -ras .born February 15. 1845, at Clinton, NX, the son of Oren Root, professor of. mathematics at Hamilton College.
