Some of the Jokes peddled around town by the enthustusts for the new eouncil would be sure prize winners in the Whiskerino contest, if they were onlyx elizible to enter now. 1e a € Every good citizen, every good sport, will assist in every possible way in the work*Bf the authorities to prevent any further spread of the smallâ€"pox MOST epidemic in town. (Gieneral vaccination and the reporting of every suspected | case will greatly assist the authorities. | (teorge On this continent the popular tendency is to pretend that no one has any use for royalty or aristocracy or anything like that. The people are supposed to be so democtratic that â€"even titles have been known to offend them. â€" Yet it was on this continent that the Ku Klux Klan _ was organized so that new titles could be seeur ed and uniformis worn. The ecolumns upon columns of space in the democratic dailies in regard to Queen Marie of Roumania, and the attitude of the populace in regard to this royal visitor to this continemt are amusing proofs that the people evidently talk extravaâ€" gantly one way to hide their extreme feelings on the opposite side. Timmins promises to become famous this year as the town where they buy gravel and sandâ€"chiefly sand,â€"sell water tanks at $50.00 per tank, grow whiskers in the interests of charity, and have bright prospects of not having to pay this year‘s taxes until next year. 1 If misery loves company, then it will interest Timmins to know that Huntsville this year has had a Provincial audit. The auditors found everyâ€" thing in order and complimented the local auditor at Huntsville on his good work. â€"All this cest Huntsville $1,700.00.â€"â€" Huntsville is a smaller town than Timmins. One paragraph in the election manifesto of Hon. Mr., Ferguson is worthy of special emphasis. The Premier says:â€"‘"A great impetus has been given to the development of our vast wealth in minerals, forest products and other natural resources and to the colonization of Northern Ontario. The Governâ€" ment will vigorously pursue its policy of exploration in the hope that we may discover oil, coal and,other valuable products within our own province.‘‘ Some of the Conservatives are so conservative that they do not like the idea of having a former Liberal as the present Conservative leader. It would be well for these conservative Conservativ es to enter the famous ** Whiskerâ€" ino‘‘ contest. Last week The Advance received a letter bearing the heading.‘‘ American Consulate,?‘ and with the signature followed by the words, ‘‘American Conâ€" sul."* â€" There is naturally some doubt as to whether the consulate referred to is the North American one, the South American, the Central American or the Mexican. The Advance has the shrewd suspicion that it might be the United States Consul who dictated the letter. If there were a European or an Asiâ€" atic Consul in Canada the question might be definitely settled. In the meanâ€" time there is the temptation to observe that apparently one of the tailors of Tooley street‘‘ did not die childless. ‘ Inspector Constable was an officer who did his duty without fear or faâ€" vour.and yet without malice or harshness. He was close to the ideal officer of the law. As a man and as a citizen his death is a serious blow to the town and district of Cochrane. His death must not go unavenged. There must be safety for the others who try to do their duty. The murderer of Inspector Constable must be traced and tracked, regardless of expense, and effort and all else. The Government should let its officers know that neither expense nor anything else is to count, but that the murderer simply MUST be caught dlld punished. a fraction of the murders that curse cities like Chicago and New York. Lonâ€" don, England, has no undiscovered murderers. It is to this latter fact that the world‘s largest city owes its freedom from assassinations. Canada will not have the gangsters and the gunmen. Canada will not tolerate the murâ€" derer. Canada patterns its law enforcement and respect for law Upon the Old Land standards. Accordifig]y in the Cochrane case, the authorities should feel that the whole sympathy and support of every decent man and woman is behind them in the work of capturing the murderer of Inspector Constable. _ They may feel also that the whole North Land will condemn them unless the assassin is captured and pays the penalty for a crime that has shocked this whote country. There is little advantage in discussing the various theories as to the probable identity of the assassin,â€"whether a hired gunman, a member of a bootleg ring, a maniac, a convicted criminal after revenge, or a suspected man in fear of justice from the shrewd work of the officer now dead. The public is now in possession of enough facts to form tenable theories as to the murâ€" derer‘s personality. The public, however, may be sure of this: that if the murderer of Inspector Constable goes unpunished, no man‘s life is safe in this North Land. Unless special protection is given officers of the law, there can be no safety either for the authorities or for the public. British justice is famous throughout the world, and its chief virtue lies in the surety and the swiftness with which the guilty are captured. London, England, has but The Town of Cochrane has offered a reward of $1,000.00 for information that will lead to the conviction of the guilty person in this case. The Proâ€" vince of Ontario, in whose employ the late Mr. Constable was a faithful and eflicient servant is expected to offer a further reward of $5,000.00. In addiâ€" tion to such rewards, money should not be stinted in the_work of capturing this assassin. assassin to escape. The cowardly murder of Inspector T. H. Constable on Friday last makes the sixth murder in the Cochrane district in recent years where the murderer has not been appychended. In this case the people will be determined that the cowardly assassin shall be brought to justice. The temper of the people, not only in Cochrane, but in every part of the district, is that the murderer absolutely must beâ€"caught and punished in this case. It is vital to the North. It would be a«crime equal to the vicious murder itself to allow this particular NO EFFORT OR EXPENSE SHOULD BE SPARED IN CAPTURING THE ASSASSIN TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCT. 21st, 1926 Geo.
