EGESGION TALM JUST ADVERTISING STUNT Toronto Globe Writer Finds Out All About the North Land in Four Days, and No One Knew He Was Here. The Toronto Globe has recently ‘had a staff correspondent in the North Land, learning all about this country and its people. The correspondent spent four days in the North, and like The Toronto Star man, never got more than four feet away from Preâ€" mier Drury if it could be avoided, still he writes confidently about the North Land and fully understands the ideas, aims, objects, purposes and ambitions of the people here. Sure, it is a wonâ€" derful thing to be a newspaperman. Look at all the power you have and all that you carf know that is hidden from men in better position to learn things, The only trouble is that peoâ€" ple in general may not be such fools as to swallow the indigestible mess that is sometimes dished up to them on the newspaper menu. The Toronto Globe writer, after dus four days here, and keeping where he had little opportunity of meeting the people, gives his verdict. **‘The seces sionist talk lhad a motive,"‘ he sapient ly remarks "It was to attract the attention of the outside world. Saidi one man, to The GHobe:â€"Wasn‘t it a good advertising stunt? Others pressed a similar view. The people: who are engaged opening up this vast part of Ontario contend that they have not recoived fair treatment from former Governments. They are conâ€" vinced that their little advertising scheme has brought results. The early visit of Premier Drury and lus two Ministers to the North is largely atâ€" tributed to the secession talk. While grievances of all kinds were placed before the Government party, secesâ€" sion was not discussed. It is known that some of those who shouted loudâ€" est about secession were leaders in the Citizens‘ Liberty League in the North and Premier Drury dealt the Laberty Leaguers a knockâ€"out blow on the temperance question when he apoke at Cobalt.‘" Now, isa‘t that a nice twistâ€"up of: words and ideas, even for a daily newspaperman who "*sees the counâ€" try‘‘ and "‘learns al about the innerâ€" most thoughts of ‘the people"" from the <comfortable vantage point of a â€" Government private train, and through eareful serutiny of the proâ€" files of the Premier and Hon. Benigh Bowman. It is dilficult to know where to start to untangle the mixâ€"up. It is WANTEDâ€"Maid for general fhouseâ€" work; good wages. Apply to Mre. L. J. Marshall, 12 Hemlock Street.

Duscharm, Otto Kabel, (Four years flig Il,: ‘A., Veterinary Surgeon New Liskeard, Ont Office north end of McKelvie Block, Armstrong St ; and a half /with Veterinary Corps.) THE PORCUPINE ADVANOS. quite true that members of the Citiâ€" zens‘ Liberty League have been proâ€" minent in the agitation for the creaâ€" tion of a new Province of the North Land. But it is equally truo that others have been eren more proâ€" minent. The movrement started as a ‘"‘"people‘s‘‘ movemeat and it conâ€" tinues. The average thoughiful man who, has no axe to grind and is not clouded by unwarranted prejudice favors a new Province here. Chief Magistrates and police magistrates up here give the question sympathetic consideration, as may be noted from a reading of the colunms of the Adâ€" vance in the past few weeks. The lead: ing newspapers of the North Land have advocated and upheld the idea of a new Province. Furthermore, if The Globe or Hon. Mr. Drury think have given any *‘knockâ€"out blow"" to [tho Liberty League, then they have seven more guesses coming. If they think like that, they eannot even know Jimmy Hylands, let alone the rest of the Liberty League. To imagâ€" ine that a ""knockout blow" to thi hopes of the Liberty League would kill the agitation for secession if the Liberty League were behind the secesâ€" sion movement, would be as foolish as the folly of the Hun in the recent war when the enemy vainly imagined that one or two good ‘hblows would make the British quit. It is the distinguish ing trait of the British"that they keep on fighting (quietly disregarding all ‘"‘knockouts"‘) until they secure what they ‘believe to be their rights. The Globe and all the other wiseacres of the South may rest assured that the North Land is determined to secure a square deal and the agitation up here will not slacken until that square is in sicht. â€" It is quite true that the people of tho North Land realize the advertisâ€" ing value of the agitation for secesâ€" sgion. They believe it has attracted attention to this country and aroused interest that would never have been ghown otherwise. They believe it was reeponsible for the visit of the Preâ€" mier and his party, and they believe it has already done much good. So, why not some more of it. The North Land knows it is needed. But the movement for secession is not simply ‘‘an eadvertising stunt.‘"‘ I[t is a genuine movement‘‘ for bettermeat and advance for this country. The people here believe that in the past the country hae been badly neglected by the powersâ€"thstâ€"be ts posstbilitiee â€" and opportunities have been neglected, and the ignoâ€" rance of this great North T.and and its people shown by the people in the South is simply appalling. ‘Tha peoâ€" ple here realizing these things, and believing that like Alberta and Sasâ€" tatchewan they could develop better and more rapidly under an adminisâ€" tration of their own, ara cf the opinion that sooner or later they must set up kouse for themselves as a disâ€" tinct Provigce. At present their chief idea, emphasized time and again in these colunms, is that the North Land MUST be given a fair and full chanee for development and progress and for the people to have a square deal in ‘beâ€" ing allowed to live and prosper accord ‘ing te their own ideas and ideals. If they can not secure this chanee and this square deal as a part of Old Onâ€" tario, then the new Province is inâ€" evitable. As Mr. T. F. King told the Premier and his party at the Board of Trade Luncheon chere. ‘‘"The North Land does not want any babying. All we ask is a square deal.‘"‘ The people are out for a square deal. And that is ng ‘‘advertising stunt.‘‘ MARIGOLD TO RESUME EARLY IN COMING YEALR.
