DIVISION IS POSTPONED.

The Associated Boards of Trade of Central ana Northern British Columbia in session at Prince Rupert decided to postpone for one year final con- sderation of the proposal to divide British Columbia The meeting at Prince Rupert last week appointed
 comittee to gather data and consider the question from economic and other standpoints and to report at the next annual meeting to be held at Prince George in June 1880 Prince George and Burns dls- sented from the action Both of them favored inn mediate separation. The opinion at the present time seems to be that there will be demand for division when the matter is again considered un- less there shall come marked change in the atti- tude of the British Columbia Government toward the Central and Northern parts of the Province Tn regard to roads and other development
 The Prince Rupert meeting unanimously favored the construction of automobile road between Prince Rupert and Terrace and Terrace and Hazel ton and urged the claims of Prince Rupert as the outlet for the Peace River country. The indus trial development of various sections of the Terri tory represented asked for. More roads and trails were asked for in the Northern and Cen tral parts of the Province.

When Is a Law Right?
wall Street ,Journal)

tWau street JOurnalJ
 bill has been introduced into Congress pro- posing the payment of $30,000 to the wife and children of Henry Virkula who was killed by a customs patrolman the highway near his home in Minnesota. The most elementary consideration of justice, or of decency, demands that this bill should go through and the compensation paid In addition to doing justice the bill might be a precedent for other similar the net result of which might become highly instructive to the people of the United States
 While riding with his wife and children this man was fired upon and killed by the patroman who mistakenly thought he was transporting liquor. As to whether not the officer justified in shoot ing is for the courts and not for the newspapers to decide. But leaving that matter out of con- sderaton the pitiful fact remains that an innocent man the public highway killed, wife was made widow and two children orphans. cor poraton individual responsible for death or injury is legally liable The Government should not hesitate to make similar amends.
 There should be hair splitting arguments as to whether not the officer exceeded his nstruc- tions. The Government, which is the people of the United States, cannot evade it's moral respon- sbility for this, and for similar tragedies of the future. Through their representatives, the people raised the transportation of liquor to the status of Ia felony The legal conception of felony is a heinous crime, such as murder, burglarly other crimes of grave import An officer might be justi- fled in killing to prevent the commission of a fel- ony, and the moral sentiment of the people a whole, would justify the act.
 But moral sentiment would be outraged by killing to prevent misdemeanor which is lesser offense. In such do not need to go the law for interpretation or explanation of the difference between felony and a misdemeanor There is something within that tells us what is and what is not heinous crime. In all the gen. eratons of our christian civilization transporting liquor has never been looked upon as an atrocious crime even by sober minded thinking people who did not use it themselves. But now without realiz ing its consequences, we have permitted our law makers to make felony of that which, in its nature, is not heinous crime
 The tragedy under consideration is not the first one resulting from this mistake Neither is it liable to be the last one. Forbidding the use of sawed OH shotguns will not prevent other tragedies Pres dent Hoover may honestly deplore killings but the law remains to be enforced He may call on the people of the border towns to cooperate in pre- venting violation of the prohibition law but that will not bring back to life the innocent people killed on suspicion of committing what we have by law raised to felony The root of the whole trouble IS In the law itself-a law at which a respectable portion of the people rebel
 Thirty thousand dollars a life is not much put eventually it may bring the people to asking themselves if a law is right when train of traee- dies like this follow it's administration

TURNING AGAINST MAYOR WALKER.

The Citizens Union, New York City independent civic organizations which for years has worked for good government in Gotham and which in recent years has generally supported Tammany candidates in appreciation of the New Tammany' attitude toward government, has decided that Mayor Walker won't do It says he has been guilty of no major crime of any sort but that his Administration lacks leadership, courage and militant honesty It de- clares that he is more interested in politics and favoritism toward his friends than in the public welfare The personal honesty and ability of the Mayor are not ouestioned-and his charm and genial friendliness is approved.
 The New York World, which has given Gov. Smith his strongest newspaper support, approves the attitude the Citizens Union and declares that if there were militant Al Smith to lead the fight against Mayor Walker he led it against Mayor Hylan four years ago the Mayor would have a very uncomfortable summer.

 We often wonder how the working girls kept themselves amused on the street cars before the day of com pacts and lipsticks. F.

A PERTINENT OPEN LETTER.

In timely open letter to Chairman Wickersham of the Hoover law enforcement committee William L. Chenery calls attention to many other Consti- tutional provisions well the Eighteenth Amend ment that being disregarded by the American people. In instances there are State statutes that nulnfy Constitutional provisions Many of them are simply overlooked by the States and the Fed era Government
 MT Chenery shows for instance that have through custom nullified the Constitutional pro- visions for the election of the President and Vice. President The Constitution directs that Presi- denta electors shall be chosen and that the electors shall then meet and elect President and Vice President This has been made mere fiction through action of the people in nominating candidates for President and Vice-President and voting for them. This method has become so fixed that many of the States have enacted laws undressing the custom rather than sustaining the system provided by the Constitution.
 He says the Constitution provides that 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" Yet it is being nfringed by many States, and public sentiment is behind the nfring- ing There is a law which forbds the writing of checks for amounts under dollar but it is disregarded everywhere and all the time The Con- stitutional provisions that designed to estab- fish absolute equality between white and black cit- zens is disregarded and, in many sections of the country, ineffective.
 MT. Chenery suggests that many similar in- stances will doubtless come to the mind of MT. wickersham. He then urges MT. wickersham to
 Face the facts courageously and if full
 consideration persuades you that some of
 the laws so commonly disregarded in
 their very nature unenforceable, say so
 plainly.
