The time is fast coming when wel should begin to take an interest in the Council for 1907. Municipal af- fairs in the town are very sadly ne- glected and the negleCt is not at all creditable to the intelligence of the electors who should get, if possible, the best and mOSt capable men to' transact the tOWns’ business. It is rather sad to think that in years gone by the town has had to go begging for enough members to form a coun- cil. Some times we have been fairly well represented and sometimes we have not. In the face of such cir- cumstances it is unfair and uncharit- able to criticise the faults and follies of the men we had to put there by coaxing them to accept the position. Such should not be the case, there should be more interest taken on the electors generally. and every man should use his franchise without be- ing forced to it. We are not going to name any prospective ratepayers just now as suitable persons to sit at tho Counel table. It may be that the present council is all right in the opinion of a majority of the electors. If so they should be sent back again,] but from the hints we hear the satis- l faction with the present board is not wholly unanimous. These men did not all seek the position and as they were in a measure forced to accept we should be willing to submit to their short-comings if such there be. Let the electors now think out their men and not leaveso important a matter to the eleventh hour and then grumble for the mm of the year. DURHAM CHRONICLE 091' 'mhia): lino aimâ€"ion 3d; The “ Claim” was a monthly pub- lication issued at Nelson B. C., by Mr. J. T. Lowery, and was denied the ? privilege of the mail a short time ago by the authorities at OttaWa. He writes a letter to “ 'Ihe Flanenr” in the Mail stating his position, to which that able writer replies in the following sensible paragraph: “ In publishing Mr. Lowery’s let- ter I neither approve nor condemn Lowery’s Claim, of which I have only at intervals seen four or five cepies.

These calendars actually cost from $15.00 $500 a thousand. Many of those given in past years cost the merchant as high as ten or fifteen cents apiece, and we feel safe in saying that it’s nOthing-x short of impertinence for the man Who never buys a dollars worth in a store to expect a calendar for nothing. This giving away bus- iness is a nuisance and one bad feature about it is that ninety nine per cent have but very little appreci- ation for what he gets for nothing Calendars are for customers and they should be given out properly. There are some families of whom every member will make a systematic round to every store in town, while deserving ones have to go without. It would bea perfectly legitimate business to buy calendars and sell them like every other commodity. If this were done the numberin some families would be lessened.
