MARK'S CHURCH\nSTEALING\nLast week the columns of this paper\ncontained an item to the effect that drill\nsteel had been stolen from McGee's cabin\nat Marmot bay.   This is not the only case\nin  the  country of this sneak   thieving.\nOther  cabins of prospectors  have  been\nrobbed, and it is high time that drastic\naction were taken.   This sneak thieving is\nnot confined to prospectors' cabins only.\nThere is evidently in our midst that contemptible piece of humanity known as a\nsneak thief, who will take  anything, no\nmatter what it is, whenever an opportunity\noffers, and he thinks he is not taking a\nchance.   These sort of people are a menace\nto the community; therefore it behooves\nevery real citizen to do his utmost to expose such individuals and so help to make\nthis a white man's country.   We have laws,\nbut they cannot be enforced unless  the\npeople  help  to uphold them.   There   is\nnothing lower or more contemptible than\nthese petty sneak thieves.   They should be\nrounded up and deported out of the country\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdback to their place of birth\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdregardless of who or what they are; and when\nthey   are sent out of the  district, their\nrecord should be sent with them, so that\nif ever caught in the act of stealing they\nafter the redistribution, the interests of the entire\nwest will be better served, in so much as it will\nreceive increased representation.\nMackenzie King, when he introduced his\nresolution, proved conclusively that he cares more\nfor politics than for those matters that are of real\nimportance and advantage to the west, providing,\nof course, that the saying, \"Actions speak louder\nwords,\" still holds true.\nPrince Rupert was the first place in the north\nto howl for a division of the province. They considered that the south was being built up at the\nexpense of the north, because of the minority\nrepresentation. In so far as this holds good\nProvincially, so much more so is it applicable to [\nthe Dominion.\nThis is not so much the fault of any one gov-!\nernment, but rather the force of circumstances.\nThat'section,   be it the north Provincially, or the\nwest nationally, which has a minority representation, is bound to suffer accordingly.\nTherefore, we are inclined to be of the opinion\nthat Colonel Peck is quite right in the attitude\nwhich he has adopted, in refusing to dance to the\ntune of a few people in Prince Rupert\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdpeople who\nwould rather have him play politics, than adopt\nthe policy of a statesman.\nNOTE  AND  COMMENT\nSundays in the month at 11 :.'i0 a.m.\nEvening  Prayer:   Every   Sunday  ot\n7:30 p.m.\nBaptisms: By appointment.\nREV.
