In the recent provmmal elecuuua m w... . ..... a _-_-__ , politicians persisted in bringing Dominion politics into th campaign. Now in the Dominion House of Commons J. A. Bradette, member for this riding last week attempted to introduce provincial politics into that ghamber. The premier appeared to think that it was provincial politics in the dou- ble meaning of that word “provincial.” It is to be regretted that while this provincial matter was brought forward by appeared to think that it was provmciai pouuu: ble meaning of that word “provincial.” It is tc that While this provincial matter was brough‘ some during the recent Dominion election in ‘ was not allowed open discussion here at the til where it could have been effectively dealt with Hon. R. B. Bennett and Hon a few words for each other in week. The case might be sum Mr. Bennett sits for the constit the constituency of Prince Albe King. Canada last year bought 157,000 tons of Russian coal.‘ The government should take steps to see that not one pound of Russian coal is sold in this country this year, and until the government moves people in general should positively and emphatically refuse to have anything to do with this blood-soaked foreign fuel. The coal is mined under con- ditions that are most deplorable and that the civilized world should do its utmost to overthrow. The coal is mined and handled by Russian workers who are worse than slaves. Under the Soviet plan of robbery of the individual and oppression of all politically opposed to their scheme of life, the price obtained for Russian goods is immaterial. So far as other nations are concerned the competition from Russia is as unfair and impossible as would be competition between legitimate merchants and the purveyors of stolen goods. The entrance into Canada of Russian coal is unfair compe- tition of the most outrageous kind. It is a menace to Canadian labour no less than to fair trade. If Russian coal were being given away, it would be too dear a price to pay for the injury to Canada’s industry and Canada's labour. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Sept. 25th, 1930 of ice there GRAVEL :‘ A lady reader in the South writes to ask what they manu- facture at Moose Factory. For one thing they make a lot An itinerant individual who was in town to sell some sort‘ of a contraption to be added to the inner workings of other- wise innocent automobiles with the apparent purpose of making Henry Ford green with envy or something like that raised a smile while he was addressing the town council on Monday. Seriously, almost sadly, he informed the council that no one read newspaper advertisements and so to introâ€" duce his specialty he had to take it around and demonstrate it on vacant lots. There should have been a laugh when the gifted speaker and philosopher volunteered the information that the cost of the manufacturing of the article was eigh- teen cents while the selling price was three dollars. This enormous spread between cost and selling price is the inevi- table result of lack of advertising. Mass production. only possible through the generous use of proper advertising, has reduced the price of automobiles to a figure that comes with- in the reach of all. Had the automobile manufacturers adopted the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Man‘s old-time idea that to talk to a score of people at a street corner was. bet- ter advertising than to give thousands of people the message in their own homes through the modern use of intelligent advertising, the cheapest motor car of to-day would be sell- ing at a price around ten thousand dollars. Sudbury merchants are planning to continuue the weekly half-holiday closing of the stores all the year round, with the exception of the month of December. instead of con- fining it only to the summer months. as has been the case in previous years. The proposal has been considered by the Sudbury merchants for some months past and last week there were about one hundred names of leading business men on a petition to be submitted to the council to make the all-year-round half-holiday idea a part of the city by- law in regard to early-closing. The Sudbury merchants will find the plan a profitable and pleasant one from all view- points. The inconvenience to the public is practically neg- ligible. The merchants and clerks benefit from the holiday break in the week. It is something that helps health and breeds contentment. The merchants and the public also share in an advantage that should not be overlooked, and that is the advantage of improved service. After the holiday the staffs return refreshed to business. It will be found that the staffs will actually do more business in the shorter hours. That has been the invariable experience. The Ad- vance has for some years been urging the merchants of Timmins to adopt the plan of all-the-year-round early closing. Several merchants in town voluntame adopted this plan some years ago and have carried it through with suc- cess and satisfaction despite the fact that the other mer- chants have failed to accept the method. The barber shops in Timmins have also closed every Wednesday afternoon the year round and generally are pleased with the plan. It is to be hoped that the merchants in general in Timmins will follow the plan now being adopted in Sudbury. A year- round half -holiday will, of course, be of special advantage to the clerks but it will also prove of value to the merchants and to the public in the better service assured by the better conditions of labour. in previ Sudbux': there v: men on the all- There is a general belief that Hon. R. B. Bennett and his government through the measures adOpt-ed at the emer- gency session of parliament. this month have done much to remedy the unemployment situation in Canada and to give a renewed impetus to Canadian industry and commerce. Governments can do much in this line and when the people show their displeasure at governments when times are dim- cult the voters are by no means as unjust as some apologists for political parties sometimes assume. Governments are expected to look to the welfare of the people and if they fail. they may blame it on providence all they may but the people have much right on their side in laying a great part of the fault to the door of the administration. At the same time it should not be forgotten that the people are able to do much for themselves. For instance. a great impetus may be Thursday, Sept. 25th. 1930 OFFICE 26â€"-â€"-â€"3 hp finrrupim’ Ahuanrp recent provincial elections Published Every Thursday by: CEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: 82.00 per year Unwed S ennett and Hon.

Without proper transportation facilities the settler has not a fair chance. a Emphasis is being given to the idea that the proposedl route for the Trans-Canada highway by way of the north shore of Lake Superior has special advantages from the! standpoint of scenery. As a matter of fact the scenic at- l t1actions along the Feiguson highway and west from Coch- ‘ 1ane Kapus‘ {asing and Healst and through the Nipigon country 11a 0 unrivalled beauty and a.ppeal There is noth- ing on the north shore of Lake Supe110r that can eclipse the beauty of this No1t11 Land in scenic appeal. The1e are in- numerable lakes and rivers to be passed on the Ferguson highway route and the variety of small lake succeeded by large lake and river and wooded country and towns and agricultural lands surpasses in attraction surely the mono- tonous stretch of water in the great lake. Cobalt and the other stretches of rock on the Ferguson highway route will add the touch of variety only to the scenic charm, while there is nothing but a desert of drab rock to be seen 011 the much-touted scenic route along the north shore of Lake Superior. Organized effort is'now being made to attract attention away from the logical present route for the Trans- QCanada highwayâ€"the Ferguson highway routeâ€"but even .The Sault Ste. Marie Sta1 will before long be ready to admit that the scenic beauty of the north slime route is as much of a manufactured dodge as the 11011- -farnous wolf of Algoma‘ One of the matters before the last meeting of the N ortherr Ontario Associated Boards of Trade was the question of 11m express rates on blueberries. This brought up the larger question of the possible value to the North of the blueberry industry. Under proper regulation blueberries may provc the real “berries” for the North. As the weekly letter of the Legion this week points out. the flagpole at the cenotaph should be repaired at least before Armistice Day comes around. ters considered for early adoption. Already, the Ontario Government has inaugurated a campaign urging that all good people of the province take the time and thought to give preference to the products of Ontario. The advertis- ing points out the superiority of most lines of Ontario goods from the farm and the factory. Sometimes the home pro- duct is actually lower in cost as well as superior in quality. Often the only recommendation for the foreign article is its apparent cheapness, and frequently there is no true economy in the purchase of the foreign goods even from the single, standpoint of cost. There would be a great impetus given to Canadian industry and agriculture if every good citizen stopped to weigh the virtues of the foreign and the home product alike. In most cases, with all factors considered, the home product would be gladly accepted as both the cheapest and the best. In the past the public have been too much inclined to take the line of least resistance. For instance, if Russian coal were specially praised as it was last year in this town by some, there was too pronounced a tendency to accept it at face value, instead of studying the effects on industry, labour and the country generally through its use here. If the people in general can be in- duced to consider the goods they purchase, looking at the matter from all standpoints, there will soon be a notable revival in Canadian industry. Canadian goods. whether from farm or factory, can hold their own for quality, and provided the demand is sufficient, the price will soon adjust itself. Governments these days seem to be doing their part to direct the attention of the people in a general way to the facts as they appear. It remains for producers and manu- facturers and dealers generally to follow up this advantage by giving particulars of the Canadian goods they deal in and showing the people that for Canadians the true wisdom. foresight and economy rests in the purchase of Canadian goods With all-round co-operation Canadian industry and Canadian agriculture may be placed in the way of sure profit and progress to the general advantage. The Advance has persistently urged the completion of what is termed the belt line of roads for the North Land. With the changes in the Ontario Cabinet it is to be hoped there will be no slackening of interest in the North Land. There is some disappointment here because while the re- arrangements were being made in the Cabinet nothing was said about a new department to look after the interests of settlers.
