"And be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the different aspirants for the various civic offices in the present election campaign, and that they place themselves on record either for or against the demand."

MONTGOMERY, IN EXCELLENT SPEECH CHARGES ALDERMAN WITH BREAKING UNION RULES MEETING WOULD^ NOT ALLOW ABUSE Speaker Who Started to Abuse Alderman Pattullo Checked by Audience���Many Speakers Heckled by Audience���Mr. William Manson Was Given Good Hearing���-Lively Incidents. The meeting held in the .-skating Rink last night in support of Mr. William Manson and also in support of the various aldermanie candidates who are supporting his platform had many interesting features, apart from the merit of the speeches delivered. At times it resolved itself into a verbal duel between the opposing factions. The Mansonites largely preponderated but there was just a sufficient sprinkling of Mobleyites to render the proceedings interesting and relieve it from the tedium that the efforts of the speakers thrust upon it. The chair was occupied by Mr. F. M. Lannic and at times his passage was nol an easy one, nor were his rulings always consistent with the I ideals of British fair play which at the j outset he quoted as his motto. Mr. Manson's Address The first speaker to be introduced [ was Mr. Manson. He reiterated his I election platform and repeated his i statement that he woulu follow in the footsteps of the present council in regard to the works they had set on foot. One change he woultl endeavor !to make, however, was the extension of the loan from twenty years to fifty. (Borrowing in the early stages -should be done at the longest time possible. They did not realize the situation keenly l this year but next year when they had their taxes to pay they would under- I stand better the advantages nf a long term. The water system would have to be undertaken during the next session of council. He was glad to know that plans had been prepared and for his part he would be prepared to follow them out. He would welcome the water system because it would lead to a reduction of the fire insurance rates. He again explained his position in regard to sewers. In regard to the police he believed in the enforcement of the law. During the pii-it seven months the law had not been enforced. The police board had full control ol the department.

College Girls aa Wives A warm controversy is raging in some of the United States magazines as to the value of college girls as wives. One lady writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer hits out in the following terms at a college professor who dared to poke into the controversy: "It is mighty mean for a married man, and a college professor at that, to make an attack on college girls From the bitterness of his words one feels either lhat the man has married one and is dissatisfied, or else is angry because he hasn't, and is taking il out on the rest of them. "Only lhe nice college girls get married, complains this critic. Well that is the only kind of a girl who has a fair chance of getting married anyhow. The competition for husbands is keen and few men escape; but il is evident, as thc evolutionists have pointed out, ! that the fittest survive and snare the husbands. So far lhe college girl seems to have made good, as three-fourths of her i if we may be allowed the expression lure married. "Besides there are a lot of mighty attractive girls of education who are not married at all, and we are of the opinion that it is their own fault; if such it is, and greatly to their credit. They have seen the experiences of some of the nice girls who have married in the days of aviation pricee and are contented to be without husbands. "But it seems that at bottom our critic complains that the girls make no use of their education after they are married. This is where he makes a mistake. Any man who has married one or more college graduates understands that their intellectual activities are not put to sleep at the altar. "College graduates of the male persuasion do not want educated wives, because they fear disillusion. Ignorant men want them because they consider them prizes. So they are. No home is really happy without a wife who can read Greek and solve problems in differential calculus. This is the reason for the activity of the divorce courts When all women go to college men The Blight on Entertaining The woman's supplement of thr> Time-1, recently issued, had an article describing and denouncing the lavish display of London society. This extravagance, the writer says, has increased with the rise of democracy. Fifty years ago, London society was aristocratic. Almost everyone knew every one else and its members were related. But there was far less rivalry in dress, in entertainment and in equipage than is the case today. Then, as we know, there was a great gulf between the aristocracy and the common people. Nowadays money seems to be the criterion. The poor family, however high in rank cannot hope to take their places in a society where the test of an entertainment is the amount of money spent. The writer says that in London, as in the United States, social pre-eminence depends largely on a willingness to pour out money on self-entertainment and empty show. The pity of it is that the evil has on this continent penetrated to almost every class in society. To be as well dressed, to have as fine a house, to keep as good a table as her neigbor is the ambition of almost every woman, not only in the city but in the country. How much of heart burning and of unhappiness this causes, it would be impossible to tell. Not only this, but there is so little money to spend for things that are really worth having. Vulgar display iB the enemy of all that is really refining and destroys all the finer feelings. The false pride that prevents us from entertaining our friends because we cannot give them as dainty food or set as beautiful a table as we would like very often costs us the loss of precious companionship.

Friday, Jan. 6 The Optimist's Ownership Statements made by a speaker at the skating rink last night to the effect that the Optimist was bought by members of the city council; that they dictate its policy, and that the City Solicitor has written editorials for it call for public answer as follows: (1) The Optimist is not owned by the city council. It is owned by some thirty business men of Prime Rupert. Only three are members <sf the council. Their interest is less than one-sixth of the total share capital of the company. (2) The policy of the Optimist is not dictated by any member of the council. Its directors are all business men, and the council are not even represented on its Board. The editor is perfectly unfettered in his choice and treatment of subjects. His only instructions arc to give the people of I'rince Rupert and district a clean, fair paper, which will counteract the "knocking" the city has had, and help the progress of the city. (3) The only article written for the Optimist by either of the City Solicitors, was one published on October 22nd, headed, "Announcement." It is an announcement of the paper's change of ownership, and an appeal that the newspapers of the city end their nuarrels and "stand for everything tliat may go to make the West wholesome, happy and prosi-erous." The article which is from the pen of Mr. Alex Manson was written in that gentleman's capacity as secretary of the newly-formed company. Since the present editor's appointment his pen alone has contributed to the editorial columns of the Optimist. A UE YOU IN NEED OF HELP?

It is unfit for publication, and those who are not aware of the last words of the quotation are better off without them. The words ars> an offensive reference to the white European workers in the city.They were uttered by one of Mr. Manson's supporters in his presence, allowed to go unchecked. They may be taken, therefore, as carrying his endorsement. The words are an appeal to race hatred among the workers. They constitute an attempt tn split up the labor men into armed camps. It has worked well in the past. By the appeal to race hatred, thc plutocrats have always been able to get the sons of the working men to go out to fight one another while they enjoyed the fruits of victory. It is just such appeals that the representative labor leaders of today, are trying hard lo light. One such representative labor leader is Sam (iompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. He is a Belgian cigarmaker, and therefore not a "while man" according lo the Mansonian definition. In the fall of 1SI09 the A. F. of L. sent him over to Europe to confer with the European International Labor Conference at Paris. As a result of President Gomper's recommendation, the annual convention of the A. F. of L. in 1!>09, at which we were presenl, passed a unanimous resolution, recommending that steps be taken lo form an Inter-Continental Federation between the American Federation of Labor and the European Internationals. This will he laid before the International Conference in Europe in 1912. No one in I'rince Rupert will deny that most of us would prefer men of our own breed to Latins. Teutons or Slavs. Bui failinn M ample and immediate supply of Anglo-Saxons, the presence of men and women of the other European races is warranted on economic and sociological grounds. Even from the racial point of view they are valuable as a bulwark against an Asiatic invasion. They are on the whole a law abiding and indusirious class. Their children, shaking our language, studying In our schools, and incorporating our ideals will grow into Canadian clUiens. We are all the product of our environment. The labor men of I'rince Kupert will show their political wisdom best by pouriiiK scorn upon the appeals lo race-hatred that are being dragged into the present municipal campaign by Mr. Manson's supporters.

The difficulty in the way is that the time at the disposal of Earl Grey would not be sufficient for him to make a complete trip and be back in time to open the parliament and extend a welcome to the royal visitor.

It ts a delicate position and should not abused. He contented himself with l^yiii** that he would be prepared to kgotiate for an amicable settlement \d when he thought he had got it would submit it to the people for leir endorsation. The Labor Question iThc labor question was one of great kportanee, and he thought that in i spending of public money care should taken to see that it was distributed las to benefit the men who by living (the city and helping to upbuild it |te taking active part in its developing He proposed to do some more the city work by days' labor in leference to the contract system. In Is opinion the sewers and water works ��ight very well be done by days' labor. Qucation from Aid. Barrow As the candidate resumed his seat bdarman Barrow rose and asked the Question if it would be possible for Mr. lanson if returned to visit the out- ying places in his parliamentary con- ijtituency. He would like to know if Prince Rupert was going to bc allowed |to monopolize all his fine qualities- Mr. Manson replied that there would [lis no difficulty in making reasonable ���visits. The railroad and steamboat Iserviees were always improving. During Ithe present session of council many lof the members had time to get away and nobody broke their hearts about it. (Loud applause). Mr. P. H. Mortimer merely announced his candidature and that he was supporting Mr. Mobley for Mayor. In reply to a question he said he was in favor of a eight hour day and $3 per day. The Third Candidate Mr. H. Douglas, the third Mayoral candidate, was then called upon. He promised to support any and all legislation that would tend to further the interest of thc wage earning classes. Dr. Clayton in his remarks did not blame Alderman Mobley for everything that was done during the present council. However, he had asked for criticism. The doctor would like to know if they had closed the blind pigs as they had asserted they would. In regard to the street the council had said that day or station labor was not feasible yet the very contractors to whom they let the work were doing it by day and station labor. As for Alderman Mobley's record the only thing he did in council was to bring in thc Liquor License By-law. Mr. G. E. Emmerson announced himself as a supporter of Mr. Mobley. In explanation of his candidature he said that the G. T. P. had thought he had sufficient ability to engage him to look after certain of their engineering work. He thought therefore he might be able to render some assistance to the city. Heck-ted by Labor Mr. D. H. Morrison also announced his candidature. Being a contractor he was asked his position in regard to labor. He favored eight hours per day. "In the case of your own men what do you do?" The Empire on Mr. Wm. Manson The Optimist does not publish this as its own opinion of Mr. Manson. All Ithe articles under this heading are taken from the Empire, a journal which today lis appealing to the electors to return Mr. Manson as Mayor. They were written I seven months ago, before the Empire had its dispute with the city over a printing I account. It is still the same Empire, and the same Mr. Manson. The paper has not changed owners or editors: nor has Mr. Manson done anything in the meantime merit any change of opinion regarding him. HOW'S THIS, MR. MANSON (From the Empire of May ISthi "Straddlc-the-fence Manson hands a lemon to the temperance people and with the Other hand deliberately points a pistol at the heads of the liquor men." "When the independent Stork government assumes control of civic affairs, no legitimate business need fear the rod of oppression, such ns William Manson is now holding over the heads of the prospective hotel keepers." "It is doubly necessary, therefore to suppress this frank nttempt to throttle the sovereign rights of a free people. William Manson has overstepped the bounds of tolerance in this one act alone, and the sooner he is taught a sound lesson that bludgeon methods will not go in a free and enlightened people the better. He ku utterly disgraced himself, and now appears in the light of a tyrant. Tyranny will not lead; it forces a spirit of retaliation. Down with the intimidators. Britons fever shall be slaves." "We would rather stand for intemperance even, than be a party to the low- down methods of the Mansonites in deliberately holding a club over the heads of the liquor interests to beat them into submission, while at lhe same lime fooling the tssmperance sentiment by dangling an impossibility through the means of a barren plebiscite." Is Still Far From Perfect (From last night's Empire) "We frankly acknowledge that there are certain impediments which under ordinary circumstances, should tell agianst Mr. Manson's candidature." Having returned from the south I want immediately for various clients SEVEN to TEN THOUSAND acres farming land on the Upper Naas, on proposed route Canadian Northern at right price. I want TEN SECTIONS or 6,400 acres of timber en lower Skeena or tributaries, with at least 15,000 feet to acre, at fair market price. I want SAND and GRAVEL proposition accessible to Prince Rupert I want $1000 on first mortgage at 10 per cent, on improved town property. ���Security about $700 due in cash in next five months, and crown granted land immediately marketable at $.3,400. , I want to see anyone interested in a local oil prospect of exceptional merit. There is a penalty also a bounty both in favor of Canadian oil and the British navy is looking for Empire oil. . _ ...... , I want a sound reliable coal prospect where owner has sufficient faith to take all his share in profits from the marketed product. With this condition Eastern capitalists will put up $200,000 to develop. I want the stakings of 10 to 20 coal sections provided transportation, out- croppings, water power, price terms and amount asked in cash and amount willing to take in syndicate are satisfactory. ... . o -.*.-. i���i���.���i I want several sections of farming land on north-east coast Porcher Island CHARLES M. WILSON ^T.e49B!urB,ock Or at Royal Hotel P.O. Box 2 "I work them just as many hours as they want to work, six, seven, eight, or nine," was the reply. A gentleman who alleged that he had been fired by the speaker for refusing to work nine hours asked why he had been fired. Mr. Morrsion did not think any man could say he was fired by him for not working nine hours. He was willing to pay him for whatever hours he worked and he had paid as high wages as any man. The questioner admitted that he had always been well treated by Mr. Morrison but adhered to his statement that he had been lired. Again the Government Mr. W. H. Montgomery was the next candidate to face thc music. He explained that he was there on the labor ticket only. He favored day labor over the contract system. He was ulso in favor of cancelling the ward system so that candidates would have to come before the whole community. He was in favor of popular government and no appointments made from Victoria such as licence commissioners and police commissioners. How can you keep politics out he asked if the government reserves the right to appoint two officers on these commissions. He was also in favor of the Initiative and the Referendum. Not only so; he was in favor of the Recall whereby thc people who had elected a man had the right to recall him if his services did not suit their wishes. In regard to a white city he referred to Mr. T. Dunn, that great champion of the people's rights, and said that he had been served by an Oriental in his place. Yes, the Chinamen and other Orientals were all right so long as they were competing in the labor market. They were the finest things ever, but when they began lo compete in the capitalisl market as they were now doing it was time to get rid of them. For his part they could now go to it. Hilditch Not Labor Man As for Alderman Hilditch he did not believe that he was a labor man. He had done things which no conscientious labor man would do. He referred to the stand taken by lhat alderman on the Liquor License By-law. He apparently did not think the people were capable of electing people to represent them properly. He also charged him with paying men 37 and a 1-2 cents per hour when thc standard rate was 40 cents for laborers' work. Nor did the alderman pay his men for extra overtime upon a certain contract he carried out. Pattullo Talks Alderman Pattullo was given a cordial reception. He thought lhat Mr. Man- son had paid great tribute to the work of the council during the present session. His only criticism had been the matter of borrowing money at twenty years instead of for a longer |H>riod. They had now before them contracts for tin* planking of Section Five, Six and Seven, and also one for a trunk line to Section Eight. In regard lo the question of thc sewers he pointed out that tin- policy of Mr. Manson was exactly lhe policy of the present council. He did not agree with Mr. Manson that it would be a simple matter for him to get away in the event of his being elected. In regard to labor he said he never posed as the particular champion of the wotking man. He was absolutely friendly to him but always consistent to the conception of his duty to the public in general. He was not the extreme champion of the working man yet he believed that the working man trusted him just the same. Referring to the Empire he said he had ignored it because he did not think very much of it but recently it had attacked him very severely. When a man deliberately stated that he believed that another man was stating what he knew to be untrue he transgressed the ethics of debate. In connection with the Empire he just wanted to say, however, that if the present city council had handed it $10,000 or $26,000 worth of advertising they would have been the finest bunch of councillors thay had ever seen. (Loud applause). Empire Replies Following on the heels of Mr. Pat- ullo came Mr. S. M. Newton who. prefaced his remarks with the statement that his opponent, the alderman, was the great I Am, and the only gentleman in the city who could govern it. He charged Alderman Pattullo with uttering infamous lies concerning the Empire and was about to elaborate his abuse of that gentleman when the meeting called him to order. He then proceeded to ramble over the various blunders of the city council, but at every point Alderman Pattullo's name cropped up and in the end it was his personal character that was being catechised and not the doing or misdoings of thc council. The man who referred to the citizens as skunks won't get votes, he said. He traversed the ground that led up to the telephone by-law and denied emphatically that the printing of it had anything to do with his present attitude. The free and independent organs were very few nowadays. He was following in the footsteps of John Houston and he did not think that there was another man better fitted than himself to do so. In regard to the telephone petitions he was pulled up by Mr. Gibbons in the gallery for stating lhat efforts were made to induct1 people not to record their votes. Mr. Gibbons begged to interrupt to deny the statement emphatically and his denial was greeted wilh applause. Mr. Newton then admitted that he was making the accusation upon hearsay evidence. Alderman Naden wanted to know who got the signatures and before Mr. Newton could reply Mr. Palmer stepped in and said that he was the man who took Mayor Stork down to the steamer to get his signature. Alderman Naden���Then surely that shows a desire on the part of the Mayor to have the signatures. Mr. Palmer���It was myself who got the Mayor to do it or the signal urn would not have been obtained. Editor Confuted Mr. Newton went on to say that the petitions were a blind so that later on the council could throw the onus of losing the system upon the people. Abusive references to the Optimist brought A. Manson to the front. He stated clearly that no gentleman connected with the city council were in any way connected with the policy of the paper, and it wits grossly untrue to say that at any time they attempted to control the editor's utterances. They did not even have representation on the board of directors. In reply to the charge that he (>er- sonally wrote for the editorial columns Mr. Manson took the opportunity of stating that he had written but one article for the paper in which he asked the papers to proclaim a peace. He commended it to the audience, and the lioople of I'rince Rupert. Mr. Naden Have Mr. Manson and his supporters bought the Empire? This seemingly |H*rtinent question met with a prompt disavowal by Messrs Newton and Manson. "Then if the Empire's support has not been bought by Mr. Manson," argued Alderman Naden, "il is not fair to say that the Optimist's opinions are bought because it supports Mr. Mobley." Hilditch to the Relief Alderman Hilditch relieved the au- ience from Mr. Newton. He first rebutted the charges of Mr. Montgomery seriatim. The men had agreed to work without the overtime until such time as the roof was on the building, the Central Hotel. He defied anyone to say that he owed a dollar. While the council certainly deserved to be criticized he did not think it deserved many of the criticisms that were brought against it. Mr. Pattullo was a hard worker. His only fault was that he tried to do too much alone. (Laughter). In regard to the clause in contracts governing the hours of labor he had a mild skirmish with Mr. A. Manson, the city solicitor. Unlike some of the others, however, they agreed to differ amicably upon a technical detail. Mr. J. A. Kirkpatrick also spoke briefly announcing his candidature and his support of Mr. Manson. He Baid he was more interested in the return of Mr. Manson as Mayor than of himself for Alderman. Editor in the Field After Mr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. J. S. Cowpcr, the editor of the Optimist, was invited to the platform to refute the charges brought against the paper by- Mr. Newton. Dr. Clayton tried manfully to have him closured on a point of order but thc meeting called the dentist down and would not listen to him. Mr. Cowper explained that since he had taken over the control of the paper he had received no instruction as to whom he should criticize or whom he should praise. He was a free agent, as much so as the editor of the Empire. He denied that since his regime in office any other pen than his had figured in the editorial columns, and said that the fairness of the Optimist's reports was evidence of its good faith to the public- Mr. Cowper had endeavored to nail the slanders when they were uttered but as he is not an aldermanie candidate the chairman at first took refuge in that privilege and refused him a hearing despite an earlier assertion that he was in favor of British fair play. The meet ing was a good one and lasted till nearly midnight. BIG MINE DEAL IN HAZELTON PAYMENT OF $3000 ON $65,000 BOND MADE IN CITY Property Purchased la Two Group* on the Rouche de Boule Mountain ���Creat Things Expected From the Mines. Yesterday at the Premier Hotel, Ralph P. Trimble of Portland, who has mininng interests in the Couer d'Alenes, and Mr. P. D. Pcmberton, a wealthy mining man of Victoria, B. C, made the preliminary payment of $3000 on their $65,000 bond given to W. S. Sargent and ('. Munro for two groups of s-lamis on Rouche de Boule Mountain southeast of Hazelton and about two miles from the main line of the G. T. P. One group is a itllphlU COPPW proposition, showing the rather startling average assays of from 15 to 31 iier cent on two big leads, and carrying fair gold values. The other group shows two big leads of fine concentrating silver-lead galena averaging $60 and is thc result of several assays of ore across the veins at different points taken by Mr. Trimble personally. Mr. Trimble stated to the Optimist that he will go to Hazelton nn the first of May and let contracts for two tunnels, one on each group and will employ twenty men. Work would be started immediately but for the scarcity of powder and supplies, everything available in lhat line having been cleaned up by other mines operating in the district. Promising Proapect Mr. Sargent, one of the locators of the pro|H>rty, speaking of the district around Hazelton says: "Just before leaving for Kupert Foreman Griswold of the Lead King, brought into camp some of the best looking silver-lead ore I have ever seen. He told me they had from 8 to 18 incehes of solid galena and the vein matter was at least three feet wide. The assays were sent to Prince Rupert and I expect to see some high values. The Harris Brothers have what seems to me to be the biggest find on Nine Mile Mountain, Their work just now is sinking on the largest lead on their ten claims known as the American Boy group. The ore is a very clean cube galena with silver values running as high as 300 ounces." Messrs. Trimble, Pcmberton, Sargent, Martin and Thompson left on the Princo George for Vancouver last night.

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.���The death of Robert Buist, head of the Robert Buist Seed Company, at hia apartment in the Hd lev ue-St rat ford caused considerable apecualtion as to whether he would leave his fortune to his granddaughter, Miss Roberta De Janon, who caused a sensation nearly a year ago by running away from the hotel with one of the waiters. This was set at rest when the will was filed. By the terms, she is given in trust the bulk of the estate, which is valued at $600,000 instead of $5,000,000. It was known that Mr. Buist was deeply grieved at the actions of Miss De Janon, and it was thought that he would probably refuse to leave even a part of his fortune to her. Those who have seen the late seed merchant were of the opinion, however, that Miss De Janon would be left the greater part of the fortune. FIFTEEN KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK TERRIBLE RAILROAD TRAGEDY IN CAPE COLONY Fifty Mere Are Injured More or Leas Serioualy���Paaaenger Train* went Off Rails and Caused Carriages to Telescope. (Special to the Optimist) Queenstown, South Africa, Jan. 5. Fifteen persons were killed outright and fifty injured more or less seriously in a train wreck which occurred near Cathier, Cape Colony, today. A passenger train was running into the city when a faulty switch sent the engine and coaches off the line. The engine sprang up in the air and rested on the tender while the carriages telescoped into one another with terrific force.

The report also bore the ominous tidings that no passengers were visible from the ground. INSERT YOUR LAND PURCHASE NOTICES IN THE OPTIMIST In his teal for the city's interests Alderman Hilditch has been hunting for the council's trial balance sheet of late. It seems, however, that Alderman Pattullo���equally zealous���forestalled the council's "watch dog" and got the only copy of the sheet as soon as City Clerk Woods had it ready. He took it home to study it well; and by a simple oversight forgot to bring it back. The "watch dog" was wowffing at him for that yesterday, saying it was very hard that he couldn't get what he wanted when he wanted it. Alderman Pattullo's explanation was satisfactory, however. ss.

There was some discussion of the terms of the resolution before its adoption was moved, and opinions were vigorously expressed that the 37 1-2 cent rate per hour is inadequate. A proposal that the names of the candidates with their position in reference to the resolution be printed for distribution on election day so that workers may know how they stand, was approved. Revolutionary Spirit A European but non-British worker spoke strongly against the idea of being in any *ay dependent upon the promises of the candidate. "If we want 45 cents an hour, let us rather strike for it," he Buid. Other workers spoke more cautiously realizing that the workers' declaration of war must not be rushed into headlong. Under Dog Must Wiggle "We are under dogs as yet," said | a comrade, "and the under dog must j wiggle to get out. What we want toj do now iB simply to advertise our| attitude towards the wage rate, and get these candidates' views so that we may know for whom to vote. Later if need be we may strike, and Btrike hard." Cries of "Hear! Hear!" and "We've always got the club!" greeted this. Thc speakers who showed a tendency to go into discussion of the advisability of a strike were ruled out of order, and the resolution went through. Thirty New Recruits At the outset of the meeting thirty- Ivor is secretary anil A. 0. Morse acted as recording secretary for the evening.
