It is three weeks since Inspector Constable was foully ‘murder)éd near. his home at Cochrane. â€" The murderer is still at large. [ There is no disposition to find unnecessary fault with the authorities, but there is a determination that the murder shall not go unpunished. â€" The present tendency is to find fault with the Ontario Government in the matter. There has been a strong expression of opinion in the matter that the Province should offer ‘so large a reward for information in the matter that someone would be tempted to send in some elue that would lead to the trail of the cowardly assassin. There is a gener al belief that the crime is connected with what is known as the underworld, and that money will induce other memberg of the same underworld to pass along the hints that will lead to the ieapture of the guilty. Another advantage of the large reward plan is that it makes it worth while for private agencies to take up the work of investigation on the chance tlrat big money may be secured. The Province of Ontario, howâ€" ever, has contented itself with offering no more than a reward of $2,000.00. 1If the Government does not value the life of a faithful and efficient servant at more than this paltry sum, then the Province should at least hold much dearer the safety of all‘the people of this North. And it may be said again that unless the murderer of Inspector Constable is captured, the life of no man, woman or child in this North Land is safe. The murder is a challenge to the law and to all decent people. It is the first gesture of the lawless, and if it passes unpunished, it will not be the last ortworst. The town of Cochrane has set the Province an example by offering a reâ€" ward of $1,000.00. The New Liskeard Speaker makes the excellent suggesâ€" tion that every town in the whole district should follow Cochrane‘s example and offer further reward. These things indicate the feeling of the people here, and the importance attached to the necessity for eapturing this particuâ€" lar assassin. â€" The Government should heed these signs, and see that so much money is forthcoming that this particular murderer will surely find punishâ€" ment. Not only in the matter of reward offered, but also in the expenses of the anthorities engaged in investigation, the Government should see to it that there is ample money provided to bring success. The Provincial detec tives should be backed to the limit, and if the problem proves beyond them, other officers of the law should be engaged, regardless of anything but the ultimate capture of the murderer, Inspector Constable was an officer of superior ability, straightforward, honest and publicâ€"spirited. He was a loyal, kindly citizen, and a man of the type that the country needs. His death should not go unavenged. But more than this, for the saftety of the country and its people, and to avoid the menace of a murdering underworld, it is imperative that the cowardly slayer of lnspectof Constable shall be brought to justice. A fashion expert says that skirts are to be shorter and tighter. Hon. Mr. Raney thinks that the only way to stop women going to such extremes in dress is to prohibit skirts altogether. Every newspaper in this North Land should emphasize the fact that neither time, trouble, nor expense should be spa,red in running to earth the assassin of Inspector Constable. Mr. Sinclair, leader of the ‘‘dry‘‘ Liberal Party in Ontario, says that because Hon. Mr. Ferguson has made a real political question an issue in the Provincial election, the Premier has ‘‘*‘forfeited all right to the respect ‘~The Advance is compelled to say that Mr. Sinâ€" clair talks like a soâ€"called Provincial auditor‘s report. of rightâ€"thinking people.‘ The soâ€"called Provinceial auditor‘s report suggests that there was a shortâ€" age of over $500.00 in the tax collector‘s accounts.. While making such a suggestion, the auditors knew that a cheque to cover any difference not adâ€" justed was in the hands of the clerk. Yet not only did the aguditors make the unkind suggestion, despite their knowledge in the matter, but, according to the statement of the treasurer at the last meeting of the council, they instructâ€" ed him to consider the matter as confidential and not report it to the council. In reality the shortage was what might reasonably be termed a Poll Tax shortâ€" ageâ€"that is a shortage obtainable on request. Fourteen members of the King Cabinet were accorded acclamations on Tuesday when coming before the people for reâ€"election as required by law in the case of those accepting Cabinet place. This shows that Hon. Hugh Guthrie was sincere in his recent statement that the opposition in the Doâ€" minion House would do all possible to facilitate the business of the country. Nothing would be gaimed by opposing the election of the Cabinet ministers in question, and much loss of time and considerable inconvenience would be entailed in the conduct of the people‘s business. There is some discussion at present of the idea of doing away with the regulation that all Cabinet miniâ€" sters upon appointment should go back to the people for endorsation, but the la\;' was framed to protect the public interests, and shou’ld not be changed without most careful consideration. It might be valuable at any time. The Toronto Star has been publishing comments on the Ferguson Temâ€" perance policy. Newspapers, large and small all over the Province, have had their opinions published in the columns of The Star. An astounding thing about the matter is that every opinion published seems to be agaldst the Ferguson policy. It seems strange, does it not, that not a single newspaper should have a word in favour of the Ferguson Temperance policy. Apparâ€" ently, The Star canvassed all the newspapers in the Province in the matter. An urgent telegram was sent The Advance asking any comments on the election and particularly on the liquor question. The Advance. promptly ecomplied with the request made to telegraph any such comments. The Adâ€" vance sent The Star the editorial references that appeared in these columns last week.. Up to the present The Star has not mentioned the comments by The Advance. The opmxons so urgently sought did not suit the purpose of evev We .. THE MURDERER OF INSPECTOR CONSTABLE MUST BE CAPTURED.

Greer, was not willing to allow the suggestion of the soâ€"called Provincial auditors‘ report to pass unchallenged in the matter of the $38.00 of dog taxes supposed to be unaccounted for last week. **The police department was hlways conducted on the strictest lines of honesty and accuracy,‘‘ said Mr. Greer this week, adding that the officer who collected the dog taxes last year was beyond any question both in regard to honesty and carefulness. Mr. Greer took the matter up this week and found just as he expected that everything was straight and in order. . The $38.00 is accounted for by the fact that the books were not completed at the time of the audit, and the $38.00 from 1925 was duly turned over into the 1926 account. The so-c‘alled Provincial auditors could have satisfied themâ€" selves about this as easily as Mr. Greer. The former Chief of Police was always available, and would have been only too pleased to have given them any information desired, if they were not able, as appears to be the case, to find the item as it appeared in the 1926 account. It is another of those Poll Tax type of shortages, one that has to be made before it exists. The reasonable attitude adopted by the council‘s court of revision has unâ€" doubtedly greatly facilitated the closâ€" ing of the roll and the adjustment of the assessment so that: the tax rate may be struck before next year. Where there were material increases from. last year, the court of revision in practically all cases agreed to a reduction that would bring the asâ€" sessment to last year‘s figure. Effort was evidently made to satisfy the apâ€" pellants with the result that it is not likely that there will be any appeals to the Judge, and so time may be sayâ€" ed in closing the roll and getting a tax rate struck. If the same attitude is taken with the Hollinger appeals, the dealing with the tax rate will be greatly facilitated. The most promment figure in the daily newspapers these days is Qfieen Marie o0% Roumania‘ She bas even been a character in the Mutt and Jeff cartoons. This queen appears to be able to talk or write about anything from mother love to lobster salad. â€" In addition to interviews granted to newspapers she seems to be the anthor of innumerable newspaper articles on all sorts of questions. There is one topic, however, that she has apparâ€" ently avoided with the gleatest of care, and that is the condition of the Jewish people in Rowmania. It is said ithat the Jews in Roumania labour under the most oppressive disabilities and are used with a ecruelty that should shock modern Christendom. It would be interesting to have the royal visitor write an article or give an interview about conditions of the Jewish people in the land over which her husband reigns. If the reports regarding the treatment of the Jewish people in Roumania are true, it would interest Canadans to learn Queen Marie‘s philosophy in such a matter. _ Queen Marie some days ago had a signed article in some of the papers, referring to her ‘‘naughty son Carol.‘"" In the matter of the alleged persecution of the Jews the world is more anxious to know whether her husband is a naughty ~There were over 160 appeals before the Council‘s Court of Revision on the assessment roll commencing Monâ€" day this week and every appeal, was given a hearing and consideration by the court of revision. The majority of the appeals were granted, reducâ€" tions being made. '[‘he larvest reducâ€" tion was "that of the Gordon Block which was reduced from $60,000 to $35,000,â€"a â€" reduftion _ of â€" $25,000. The Dominion Bank reduction was around $1,500. Several other reâ€" ductions of good size were made. A large number of the appeals were in connection with charges from pubâ€" lic to separate or separate to public school supporters. In addition there were a large number of income tax appeals not included in the 160 cases referred to. These income tax cases were appeals where men who were houscholders or â€" heads of families were assessed ‘‘single‘‘ men. The list was carefully gone through by Counâ€" cillor LonO'more and after the required information was available, the counâ€" cil passed the appeals. Council Court of Revision Deals With Over 160 Appeals. Hollinger Appeals on Saturday The appeals Wlll be heard on Saturâ€" day. * + All who attend the mectings of the new council find them most enterâ€" taining and amusing. There is one feature, however, that they lack, and tha't is a touch of instrumental music for variety ‘s sake. Probably tfle two members of the body who won some fame earlier in the year as players on the ukelele and the banjo might be induced to bring their instruments to the meetings. Council meetings then would be about unrivalled for fun, frolie and amusement, and the programme would be varied. Mr. W. 0. Langdon represented a number of the important cases before the court of revision, and had lhus cases presented in very effective way. Mr. Dean Kester was acting solicitor for the town and handled a difficult briefgwith tact and talent. SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC APPARENTLY OVER NOW. Last week the total number of smallpox ecases in town reached 57. Since then there have been no new cases, and many quarantined «have been released ‘ _ The epidemic with reasonable care by the public, may be considered as over. The general vacâ€" cination protects the town against chanees of any similar epidemics for some years to come. â€"A couple of new cases of diphtheria were reported last week, but were of yery mild type, and were easily dealt with. The town is apparently recovering from the chances of any serious epidemic. The ‘ast market for the season will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6tu, TRREE MORTRS FOR TAKING AUTO CONSENT Lewis Committed for Trial on Charges of Forgery.

Lewis is acâ€" cused of forging signatures to orders for fruit and then collecting or atâ€" tempting to collect for goods not supâ€" plied. In reference to the murder of the late Inspector Constable and the reâ€" ward of $2000 offered by the Ontario Government for information leading to the conviction of the assassin, the Cochrane correspondent of The Sudâ€" bury Star says :â€" F Miller was sentenced to thirty days for being drunk in charge of a car, and then he and E. Maki were given three months each for taking an auto without the consent of the owner. Five drunks paid $10.00 and costs. Two speeders were assessed the same. One assault charge resulted in a fine of $10.00 and costs, while another was dismissed. On a charge of theft preferred by E. H. King, postmaster, H. (Garner, one of the staff of the post office, was remanded for a week. Will meet in the Hollinger Recreation Hall the first Friday of each month. J. THOMAS, Mrs. E. RICHARDS, President Becretary.
