Mayor Newton has never made any allusion to our re- Surely some arrangements can be made with one or other of the theatre companies to have moving pictures taken of the present council in action. it would indeed be a shame to have the Mayor and aldermen pass into oblivion without pre- serving for future generations some idea of the workings of this wonderful body. Perhaps for the occasion Mayor Newton would rehearse his calling for the police to prevent an alderman asking a question, or the famous debate on the telephone girls would do. At least it would give pro- geny an idea of the momentous questions which taxed the brains of Prince Rupert's City Council for 1942. ——_Q——_—_——_ The Good Book says: “By their fruits ye shall know them,” or words to that effect. In the case of the present city council, they have not even been introduced to us, for their good works are as hard to find as hen’s teeth. peated references to his action, characteristic of the man, in insulting the fathers, mothers and children of Prince Rupert on the occasion of the Duke of Connaught's visit, and all be- cause the chairman of the School Board was a business competitor. The children of Prince Ru- pert will compare favorably with any set of youngsters in the country, either in point of intelligence or manner, and His Royal Highess was much disappointed that they had no part in the festivities in honor | of his official visit to this City. Prince Rupert, mem- bers of his party remarked,! was the only place in Canada in which the school children did not take a prominent part in the celebration in honor of Canada’s Governor General. Mayor Newton did not forget the school children; he could not be ashamed of them, but he point blank refused to even have the chairman of the! School Board on the reception D platform, although he had representatives from the other public bodies. The whole thing was so evi- dent that it was coarse. O. H. Nelson, the chairman of the School Board, is the editor of the Journal, which has been opposing the present adminis- tration. it is indeed a small matter and one the chairman of the School Board has _ probably forgotten, but the question in- volved is a larger one. Do the people of Prince Rupert want a man to be chief magistrate who will stoop to an action of such a petty character to gain a personal triumph? When he would carry spite to such a length in a public duty of that kind, would he be impartial in his dealings with a larger matter in which persons ob- noxious to him were involved? china eatmiaenn WRANGLING ALREADY. Premier Borden's proposed naval contribution bearing Is its legitimate fruit already, al- though the matter has not yet got beyond the stage of dis- cussion. It has produced fric- tion and disunion in the British Admiralty. One of the lords has resigned, and there are rumors that others may fol- low his example, because the strategic board does not ap- prove of the arrangement of Winston Churchill with Pre- mier Borden, which might hive the effect of dislocating the dispositions of the fleet. Doubtless objection is taken to the proposed agreement that any time by giving notice three dreadnaughts may be _ with- drawn and brought to Can- adian waters. If that is the effect of the contribution policy even when it is in the paper stage, what may the ultimate outcome be when divisions of opinion arise | as to the amount of the con- tributions and charges are handed back and forth that the dominions are not doing their share or that the Mother Country expects too much? Is the fact not apparent already that there is only one safe path to follow if the cordial rela- tions that have so long ob- tained are to continue ?—Vic-| toria Times.
