 Referring to the foregoing, the Vancouver Sun says editorially:
 A. G. Sutherands letter appearing in the core spondence columns of odays Sun shows how easy it is for individuals to lose the spirit of the hive. It is hard imagine firms individuals being shortsghted enough have their printing done out of town while making comfortable living off Vancouvers work men, A list of such firms has been prepared by Van printers and if published would make interest ing reading.
 If every person in Vancouver would make it a point to buy locally made goods wherever possible and consistently stick to that policy would shortly create atmosphere of activity very beneficial all

LOOKING OUT FOR PRINCESS SOPHIA VICTIMS

The Fairbanks Citizen, referring recently to the Princess Sophia hearings conducted by the Canadian Government at Juneau and telegram relating thereto received in Fairbanks from Senator D. A Sutherland said it well that somebody took interest," in the relatives and friends of the victims the Princess Sophia, and complimented Senator Sutherland for his vigilance.
 The inference that the rights of anybody would have been neglected except for Senator Sutherland activity is not warranted by circumstances The that people watched the Princess Sophia proceed ings with the purpose in view getting all the in the records where they would furnish a basis for such appropriate action the circumstances would warrant.
 Gov. Riggs asked for and secured the hearings at Juneau and the witnesses for the Government were mobilized by Attorney II. L. Faulkner of this city. MT. Faulkner was requested by Crown Attorney Lux to get the witnesses together for the Canadian Government, and he was asked get all of them. Mir Faulkner prepared publicity matter urging every who knew anything that would throw light the disaster and responsibility for it to and give testimony. He examined many witnesses and prepared when the hearing occurred aid in pre- senting the evidence for the prosecutonto the language of side of the line. Not only did MT Faulkner urge people to come forward and testify not only did he question the witnesses advance so he would know what the Court should get from them but his suggestion the court asked all the people who wanted to testify thought they should testify to come forward and do While Mr Luxton exam fned the witnesses at the hearing, was Mir FauIk- ner his elbow who responsible for the results

The Power of the Press.

 There has been great deal of comment in news papers throughout the country on the Chicago cleo ton, where Mayor Thompson reelected although every newspaper in Chicago opposed him. The tone Mirror which concludes brief discussion the sub ject with the words, Where is the power of the press? There aint none''
 If by power of the press means power of edit orial opinion, MT Reedy's conclusion is not so far
 from the truth as it might be, but Mayor Thompson election makes poor illustration for the fact is the vote for Thompson about 130 900 less in
 the election just held than his former election He was elected by majority for his first term but is now minority Mayor
 It IS not unreasonable to believe that the truth which the Chicago papers told of Mayor Thompson was one of the influences that the falling off
 in Thompsons support. If the opposition to Thompson had united on one man instead of dividing Thompson would have been badly beaten and then perhaps some of the same Journalists who now belitting the power Of the press would be pointing with pride to what the press did to Mayor Thompson
