Damy EDITION. THURSDAY, Frs. 22 An evidence of how the people are to be bound and gagged if Dick McBride is again returned to power is found in the government organ this morning. It calls down this newspaper for a “presumptious act’ in printing yesterday a reference to the government wharf, and says we are butting in to the private business of the Property Owners’ Association. It says: ved | The News has the audacity and lack of all sense of shame in|¢ connection with its presurnption in the matter to glory in what it has done.” It seems childish to answer what is apparent to everybody, that the government wharf is not a private matter but a matter|@ of public interest. It has been called ‘“‘The People’s Wharf,” was supposed to be presented to the people of Prince Rupert by the government to protect them from possible excessive wharf charges. And this is a newspaper of the people, by the people and for the people of Prince Rupert, and is not owned or con- trolied in any way by Dictator McBride. Our reference to the tardy manner in which the construc- tion of this people’s dock has been carried on is described as “politics of the most ‘petty ward type,” but there is not a word in the whole of the long-winded article explaining why there has been so much delay in this public work, of which so many complaints have been publicly made. And we have no right to refer to the work at all in our columns, because, presumably, it is Dick McBride's private enterprise. This is a sample of what everyone must expect should the Two-Man government again be returned to power. PROVINCIAL ELECTION NOW IN SIGHT. The announcement that the Legislative Assembly will be prorogued before the end of the month squares with private advices to the effect that dissolution and a general election will follow immediately, the latter early in April. The present as- sembly was elected September, 1909, and has been in existence, therefore, not quite two years and a half. Immediate dissolution will reduce its term of eixstence below even the very low average duration, less than three years, permitted the legislative as- semblies which have come into being during Mr. McBride's eight and a half years of office. The present session will not have lasted fifty days, or about thirty-five working days, if it terminates at the time now scheduled. Of these about ten working days are left in which the different classes of business, any one of which ought to have at least that length of time devoted to itself, must be transacted if transacted at all. ———___—_— “NEW IDEA” BEDS We are showing a wonderful selection of this entirely new Bed.
