A
Tribute
and
Dedication
ALTHOUGH
in
the
logical
course
of
events
old
institutions
must
change
in
keeping
with
the
!
march
of
time
and
progress,
it
is
not
without
siheere
feelings
tinged
with
sadness
arid
regret
that
we
of
the
Daily
News
niake
announcement
today
of;
the
dropping
out
of
the
respected
Evening
Empire
newspaper.
It
was
our
rival
these
many
years
but,
in
the
days
to
come,
we
will
cherish
its
memory
more
as
our
friendly
contemporary.
There
will
be
many
old
friends,
in
Prince
Rupert
who
will
miss
th;e
Empire
but
there
will
be
none
to
miss
it
more
than
we
will
at
the
Daily
News
office.
It
was,
we
ca!n
say
here
in
unhesitating
tribute,
our
most
interesting
exchange
and
now
as
it
ceases
publication,
we
are
constrained
to
speak
kindly.
Nor
is
there
anything
inconsistent
in
this
expression
of
sentiment
for
we
have
held
them
high
as
good
neighbors
and
we
hope
they
may
have
felt
the
same
about
us.
The
Daily
News
is
not'.unappreciative
of
the
incfoaseH
responsibilities
which
we
assume
as
we
eijter
upon
this.
.new
.epoch
in
the
newspaper
his-tctry
of
Prince
Rupert
as
the
only
daily
newspaper
in
this
city
and
district.
In
all
Canada
Prince
Rupert
has
had
the
distinction
for
years
of
being'
the
only
city
of
comparable
or
nearly
comparable
size
to:.
maintain
two
daily
newspapers.
It
was,
therefore,
inevitable
that
ari
event
of
absorption
such
asj
has
now
been
consummated
would
have
to
come
to'
pass.
'.
It
is
our
hope
at
the
Daily
News
that
the
good
traditions
of
the
Empire
newspaper
and
any
we
may
have
ourselves,
together
with
our
desire
and
resolve
to
serve
the
interests
and
needs
qf
our
reader,
our
advertisers
and
the
community
and
district,
may
be
maintained
with
due
credit
and
adequacy
in
the.
days
that
lie
ahead.
Given
the
cooperation
and
assistance
of
qur
own
many
friends
and
those
we
acquire
with
the
acquisition
of
the
Empire,
we
are
confident
that
such'
shall
be
the
culmination,
Such
dedication
we
hope
may
prove
worthy
of
bijing
included
in
this
tribute
to
the

ENCOURAGING
to
people
holding
liberal
views
on
the.
franchise
to
note
the
change
that
;has
taken
place
among
the
members
of
the
Legislature,
if
not
of
members
of
the,
cabinet,
in
regard
to
granting
the
franchise
to
British
subjects
or,
as
npw
ordained,
Canadian
citizens,
who
are
East
Indians.
In
fact,
the
special
committee
has
recom-njeiided
the
franchise
to
all
British,
subjects,
including
native
Indians
not
living
on
reserves.
'.
In
1944
only
one
cabinet
member
spoke
in
favor
of
the
private
members'
bill
(Mr.
Lefeaux)
to
extern
the
franchise
to
Ea$t
Indians
and
his
address
at
that
time
caused
a'
sensation.
British
Columbians
ought
to
be
ashamed
of
themselves
in
refusing
the
franchise
to
British-born
peoples
of
brie
particular
race.
