MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. The police department (including the police magistrate) of any organized municipality in this province are alone responsible for any condition of lawlessness that may exist; in_that municipality, and are alike respon-sible for any mitigation or lack of punishment for unlawful offences. No more responsibility for such condition can attach to the city council han to the school board, for instance. The Leader has no intention of enter- np. into a controversy regarding the letters of the city council and police ' commission published in the last week's issue. Wt do,, however, take ssue- with - the--GHlzen in; attaching the blame for alleged lawless condi-upon the city council. True, the city council, must pass upon the applications for all trade licenses issued, but only are these licenses ssued upon a favorable report from the police. With regard to club licenses, the city solicitor has repeatedly ruled that local recognition cannot be withheld from duly incorporated clubs. With these facts be* "ore us it is hard-to follow our contemporary's argument that the city council is alone responsible for the alleged lawlessness in Prince George^ incorporated clubs are among the offenders then it is a matter for the Leader believes it endorses the opinion of a great majority of citizens and ratepayers that a complete and thorough investigation of set out by^the council commission should be and without further delay. There need be no occasion to call up* on Victoria to settle our affairs. Specific complaint has been made demand an investigation unless both parties are to fall under suspicion. __-___ The childish inference of our contemporary that the conditions alleged GROCERIES FRUITS PROVISIONS ONION Multipliers— * s. for - 45c Dutch Sets— 2 lbs. lV>r ~ f)5 20 above are responsible for the prices offered for our city bonds is scarcely worthy of comment. Bond purchasers are only interested in the financial re pro tsof miiucpameiinl tnmmm cial reports of municipalities over the signature of a chartered accountant. As the record of this year's council can not be published until 1922; the weakness of such argument is apparent. Another statement that 1920 bonds sold for 85 is incorrect. The price was 84. - In explanation of the figure of 92 received for 1919 bonds t should in fairness be stated that these were ten-year bonds. It might also be stated that these bonds were sold previous to the famous (or, infamous) auction sale of city ^property which, whether or not, helpful to the city's prestige, certainly played havoc with municipal finances. '-;.' perusal of^our contemporary's not dimmed the faith of the average ratepayer in the mayor council entrusted with the con- our municipal affairs. The stionsUiat most naturally suggests lfs is: Why aW tKe comouflage re* gardingrthe1.': price of bonds, in years Kone by? Comiiig at this particular time it is looked upon as yet another instance of "passing the buck.1' xTne average man, with no axe to^grind, would like to know the ¦-— truth regarding the council's charges iii| \n police matters and the reply of the | commission.

ON LIBERAL PAPERS According to the Vancouver Sun there exists in Canada a manufacturers' organization, with a clerical staff headed by G. M. McMurray, having for its object the debauching of the newspapers, of Canada, the obtaining of a subsidized and controlled editorial policy, and the carrying on of an active, destructive warfare against every newspaper supporting the'Liberal party'of Canada. This organization has a lystem of dividing newspapers into three main classes:' . ¦ "• First—Newspaper* supporting the Tory administration. all the^me— right or wrong—every persuasion U used to get national advertising for these papers.. .• Second—Newspapers edited along semi-independent lines—orders , are given that these papers receive a share of advertising so as to keep them peaceful.__. Third—Newspapers openly supporting the Liberal party of Canada —against these papers war jb declared; advertising is withheld, and every possible effort made to drive them out of business. - ' '¦ The" Sun claims to have received letter after letter from manufacturers, advising that they like the Sun and feel that they would get good value in using its columns, but they openly say they will refuse to advertise in its columns until its editorial policy is changed, by abandoning support of Liberal principles. LIBERAL LEADER PROTESTS. Ottawa, April 26.—The connection of Hoiu W. L. Mackenzie King with the Rockefeller. Foundation wss again used in the House of Commons on Friday. On a question of privilege Ernest Lapointe of Quebec Bast quoted from a report published in Toron to morning papers of April 20, which cited A. L. Davidson, M.P. for Digby Annapolis, as stating that'the leader of the Liberal party in Canada waa chosen by the Rockefeller, interests. The report in question continued: "The Rockefeller interests, in the United States thought }t would be fine thing if they could'only have a the head of one of the. political par ties in Canada a former employee o theirs: They had lots of money to spare.
