NEWTON'S PLEA OF GUILTY Now that Alderman Newton has confessed his guilt, and admitted that he wilfully altered press despatches referring to reciprocity, the News is content to resume the discussion of the economics of recip- rocity. It is always a good day's work to unmask a hypocrite and make a vendor of untruths eat his own wares. The public can now judge of the fitness for public life of a man who admits to altering press despatches to suit his own candidature. The whole incident casts a strong light into the real character of this ‘‘Holier than thou”’ candidate, who in confessing his guilt tries to make the public believe that he was acting within the limits of journalistic usage in wilfully altering one despatch and inventing another, in order to furthershis private interests. We do not know what are the journalistic ethics of Mudville-in- the-Bush, or wherever it was that Alderman Newton got his training in village newspaperdom. We do know that no self-respecting journal in any city in Canada, would tolerate on its staff for one moment an editor who would wilfully alter the meaning of a press despatch to further his private ends. . To alter a despatch which states that the Laurier Government had ‘‘made a strategic move,” to read ‘‘unfair move’ is not editing. It is lying. When done wilfully it is wilful lying, and when done wilfully by a man who is opposing the Laurier Government in an attempt to enter public life it looks like wilful lying for personal ends. A great man truly to set himself up as holier than the rest of the members of his party. The incident raises the question as to the moral perceptions of the candidate. A man who admits to the public that he altered a press despatch and faked another because “it was palpably unfair,’’ must have a peculiar type of mind. It is the type of mind apparently that delights to vent spleen and throw coarse abuse at innocent men with neither the means nor the ability to answer back, and then whines and crawls the moment someone with the ability and occasion to act, administers a little corrective punishment. It is an amusing sight to see this journalistic swashbuckler and village bully howling out that he is being persecuted for righteousness’ —— i befool the electors of Comox-Atlin by altering press despatches out of their original meaning. Alderman Newton in his statement says that the News is actuated by a desire to get him out of the field for fear of his getting votes. That is an absurd conclusion, only possible to a mind blinded by vanity: The News dares Alderman Newton to stay in the field and see what happens to him. THE MAYOR AND — PREMIER McBRIDE Important Telegram Expected Today from Mr. Manson in Reference to the G. T. P. Assessment Settlement in Abeyance. |LAUNDRIES TO By-law to be Introduced Gov- erning Matter—Buildings an verning Matter. Buildings ahd Utensils must be Sani- tary. Acting Mayor Kirkpatrick and City Clerk Woods are anxiously expecting a wire some time this afternoon from the Mayor in reference to his interview with Premier McBride in particular re- garding the Provincial Govern- ment’s attitude to the proposed Grand Trunk Assessment settle- ment. No reply had come to hand this forenoon, and Mr. Kirkpatrick remarked that he understood the Mayor would probably have an appointment with the Premier some time today if he had not already had one last night. The fact that no wire was received early today was taken as _in- dicating that the interview was probably still in abeyance. All members of the council except perhaps Alderman Hilditch in his less assured moments, are confident that the Premier’s attitude will be favorable to the agreement, but many citizens who favor the agreement will not prove as easy over the Hydro-Electric plan when both matters come to the vote. Segregate. The suburb of the local inferno is to have a sister district, or in other laundries in future will likely be segregated. The Board of Works last night recommended that all laundries, wash houses, ctc., sha be built in the district of Block 41 and 42, Section 5, i near to Comox avenue. Alderman Hilditch the recommendation and unanimous support. He will also introduce a by-law to govern the matter. The by-law will require jaundries in the proposed district to have concrete floors, metallic inside walls up to a certain height, sanitary washing utensils, etc. Alderman Douglas objected to the location named on the ground that it would effect property in the district to a disadvantage, and threatened to get a petition op- After a satis- following a words, all which is introduced found posing the idea. factory explanation consultation of the map of the city, he withdrew his objection.
