Daily Edition. Friday, May 27ALBERTA’S NEW PREMIER.The turning over of the Government of Alberta from Rutherford to Clifford Sifton is a good strategic move by the Liberals. The Hon. Clifford Sifton is accustomed to big jobs and probably no other man could save that government for his party. Hon. Clifford Sifton is one of the most talented politicians Canada has ever had. His policy of developing the prairie provinces was'one of progress and success. He opened the west and advertised it as it was never done before, or since. Unfortunately all his energies were not devoted to the upbuilding of Canada. Like mar.r * aether successful politician he was not satisfied with the emoluments of office uiicf the appreciation of his party. He believed in helping himself, and he did. His fortUM is now many millions, and the basis of it was in the advantage he had in his public office Hon. Clifford Sifton is a clever man, but an expensive one. However, it has been said of him that Canada could afford to pay him $100,000 per annum for his services, and if Alberta can pay the price he will probably be a profitable investment for that province. In a year or two, Edmonton , the seat of the Alberta government, will be only a day’s journey away—the closest city neighbour of Prince Rupert. The policy of the new premier will thus be watched here with more than common interest. Like all successful men, Clifford Sifton has many enemies in his own camp and many admirers without. He has, in the past, proved himself bigger than his critics and his ascendency to the control of Alberta’s administration will be marked with applause and optimism.
