WEAK ESTABLISHED ORDER

“Tt can hardly be said that the part |.

played by the Vancouver papers in
Vancouver’ was a very creditable one.
From start to finish they seemed to be
the side of the agitators and against
law and order. Not satisfied with this
The Provinee did Itself particularly
proud in lauding ‘editorially one of the
wildest agitators in British Columbia.
There is nu doubt that all three gov-
ttuments are at fault and there was a
dozen different ways of handling the
situation other than the way adoted.
Nhe result is that Vancouver stinks in
(he nosiviis of the world but not in B.
C. where it is well known what that
city can pall off in many ways, If you
have money and spend it like a drunk-
oT sailor you are welcome in Vaneour-

Vancouver is like the old time har
keeper who kicked you into the street,
The nnfortinate part of iH all was the

sty in Innd of avealth and the estab-
Usher anthorities are so drunk with

think of those who were crowded out

not vocal, sincere nevertheless. That
rain meant the difference between a
crop and no crop, and since the. rain
stopped the sun has been bright and
warm and ‘everything out of doors is
growing rapidly. In this country the
calves colts and many animals of quite
a few inonths of age, had never before
seen rain and they hardly knew how to
ict, while the old cow: and.. .the- old
mire just stood out in it and ‘took a
good bath. the first of the. ‘season, and
they, all felt better. It was a grand
rain. Liven “Mystified” of Tella, is

WHAT OF THE ROAD WORK?

Some of the fellows in the district
nre wondermge what about the road
work for thi§ year, and when the work
on the Skeena highway will be resum-
ed again, Here it is the first. of July
and nothing in sight yet. “The first of
the month” is geting to he an old story.
Work is being done in other districts
and ‘appropriations have been provid-
ed for other districts, particularly in
the. south ‘where the governments are
not in yery good standing now since
the sit-down fiasco in Vancouver, but
ho word has yet come through for any
work in the north. It is not merely a
case of some men wanting a' job, but
the country and the entire population
want the. roads, need the roads, and
progress is being retarded for lack of
them.

Hunan endurance is capable of only
so‘much, and the governments ‘shotld
know that better than any individual.
Therefore It would be advisable to get
the work: started at an early date;: and
in effort nade to play-square with the

fez and destruction of private property
for the protection of whieh the owners:
pay established authority a very high '
price. About the only thing establish
authority seems capable of dealing
with isa minor infraction. The great-—
er problems of unemployment. foreign '
neitation, mnrest, eta, are left to mob
tule or worse, |
