For 40 years or more it has been used for all kinds of gatherings. and it may be the some were anxious to have him semi in his resignation. For cerâ€" tain good and iust reasons he hasn‘t clone so. There is no man capahle of pleasing everybody. and even if a change were made we have no «lefinite assurance that the change would be an im- provement. No business man. it seems to us. would hanker after the job. and few business men pos; sess the legal qualifications re-l quirerl in the decision of the var- ious differences that come up from time to time. Mr. 'l‘elford may he lenient at times. and through pure kindness of heart impose a lighter sentence thanl some of us think he ought to. We have no hesitation in believing he has at least average intelligencef and average judgment. In these respects he is surely as well fitted for the position as the average man. To these, when we add his7 knowledge of law. which must be} superior to that of any other man‘ in the place. we are forced to. the conclusion that he should be’ the best man for the position of police magistrate. Again. he 00-! copies a position of perhaps greater independence than any. other business man. and as far as we are concerned we’ll move care- fully and be sure of our ground before we seek for a change.

In it wise to remain in- active till all the good things are swallowed up by our competitors ? Our preaent supply may be suffici- ent for all present needs. but to stand stationary is not a pro- greasive idea of the 20th century methods. New industries are looking round for places to locate and with cheap power to offer we would be in possession of a leier- age that less favored placesi wouldn‘t have. Our geographical position for an inland town has! the-advantage of good railway tacilitiea. We have already two steam roads. and there’s no tell- ing how soon our facilities may be further increased. No doubt over to the Commission on reason- able terms; this could easily be. increased by connecting up with‘ supplementary power from other' amines and soon every industry: in town would be twang the hydro- electric. The electric light com-- panys power too. could be. taken over by the Commission. and the’ town lighting mnpplied from the: same energy.

The young DeOple of the Meth- odist church advertised last week that a two-reel moving pic- tune exhibit of the Prodigal Son would be given Monday night last in the lecture room of the church. Somebody interfered, hoWever. and the show didn’t come off. We don’t know who originated the protest; some think that Mr. Damm. proprietor of the Star theatre was the man to set the We believe the system of lighting in this town is absolutely wrong and general satisfaction will nev- er result so long as things are {conducted along present and past lines. We believe. under present conditions, the all-night service on a “flat rate” is the cause of much of the trouble, and that the extravagant waste of current is largely responsible for a deficiency in the serv.ice The extravagant at the expense of others when they have a free hand to do so. and We fully belieVe a much better and more satisfac- tory service would be given if users were required to pay for thel amount of current they received.
