This ol be free from the evils ‘of the present SOâ€"CRIICLL No doubt by this time this old resident of Moose Factory has found a new home, far from civilization, where srains do not call nor radios shriek, and where noise and bustle do not | make thought impossible. This old resident is a typ2 of the pioneer who made the new North possible, the typ8 made Canada itself possible These men, with a strang? blend of love and adventure and desire for quiet, seek cut the far places of the earch,. Because they know nature and love nature, they do not build their homes in deserts or in barrens, and so it is inevitable that others follow them and soon modern life crowds up to their distant places, and again they feel the urge to move along. As the different sections of this new country were "discovered," the pioneers were found to be there already. The encroachments of the flare and blare of modern days sent them north to Moose Facâ€" tory and beyond. NowW their quiet is again boing disturbed. ‘They will move to other areas, perhaps to the great lands west of James Bay. Always, there seems to be some new place where they can settle in peace and quiet. It is to be noped that when the last cutpost 1s invaded by modern civilization that the said civilization will have caught someâ€" thing of the poise, the quiet and the thoughtfulness that the frfoneer demands, and tha‘: he must have to live his life.

As The Advance has pointed it on innumerable occasions, such a roadway would link p by highway all the centres of the North Land. It would ive transportation facilities and highway connections to nporiant new mining areas like Shiningtree, Matachewan nd the townships between Matachewan and Timmins, ‘here there have been very impbrtant gold finds made. Por s value to the prospector and the mining industry alone uch a connecting road is most desirable. From the standpoint of the development of the North and the highway in question seems imperative. It is not so much to say that it would benefit every town and ther centre in all this section of the North. It would be f special ‘advamage to Timmins and Sudbury, but this fact nould not cloud the fact that the area between Sudbury nd Timmins would be benefitted even more than either of hese two places. Matachewan camp, for instance, would e benefitted as much as Sudbury and Timmins combined. he new gold area would have direct and easy communicaâ€" ion with the two largest centres in the North and it doss 104 require much thought to understand what a vital factor is hs in the sneedy develotiment of the Matachewan VY Do the men, who have made great wealth from concesâ€" sions and privileges granted them from the natural reâ€" cources of this country, actually advocate that thousands of persons in this land should starve to death? Their propaâ€" ganda for economy in the spending of money for public works suggests some such idea. Unless work or direct reâ€" lief is granted thousands must die. Direct relief is neither reasonable nor proper. The only sensible remedy for unâ€" employment is the providing of work. There is need for many public works, and there are many men needing work. The answer to the problem is so simple that only a politiâ€" cian could fail to see it. AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER} Pierre Van Paassen, European correspondent for The Toâ€" | ronto Globe, is authority for the statement that Germany is at prmeSent bending all its efforts to prepare for another war with France. Reports such as this are startling, in view of the loud talk of peace and disarmament. Mr. Van Paarsâ€" sen, however, has proven himself an observer of rare judgâ€" ment and coolness. He is not the man to talk war unless there were ample foundation. It should be remembered that previous to the opening of actual hostilities in 1914, the maâ€" jority of people refused to consider the possibility of war. They spent their time preaching peace, and proving by science, mathematies, economics or whatnot that war was utâ€" terly impossible. Because of this the world was caught unâ€" rmepared for Germany. This should not be allowed to o¢câ€" cur again. It may be possible now to prevent designs for another world conflict. In a year or even in a few months it may be too late. The leading nations of the world should investigate the situation in Germany in serious way. If another world war develops under the clamour of peatcse talk it will be a disgrace to the intelligence of the worlda of In the death of Hon. Geo. E. Foster last week, Canada lost one of its most gifted orators. Until a short time before he died at the age of 84 years, he was able to sway audiencss, to convince and to enthuse by the spoken word, a gift few men possess, and one that appears to be less common these days than in earlier days in Canada. It is as an orator that Hon. Sir Geo. E. Foster is likely to hold his highest repritation in history. In a day of crators, Blake, Rrown, D‘Arcy McGee, Laurier, Ross, to mention a few at random, Foster stood above them all in shgeer talent in the use of snsech. He lacked the personal charm of a Laurier, and the magnetism of many of the other leaders, but his art as an orator was remarkable. In broad topics aphart from the political arena he was especially effective. None who heard his address on democratic government will forget his emphasis.on the sentence that democracy ever trembles on the thin edge of peril. His gifted words made all see demoâ€" cracy as living thing on the verge of bseing cast to the ahuvse of death. History has proved the truth of the picâ€" turasque pAharast an educationali may weil De remcnUered, allu times keenâ€"edged and cutting all who heard him at his bes a half a century or more. A writer in "Health Logic," London, England, journal dealing with matters of health, suggests that men of the revolutionary type are simply individuals whose minds have become abnormal, their general health having a special effect on their dispositions and doctrines. It is further argued that abnormal times have a tendency to breed abnormal individuals and to make theri more assertive and noisy than they would otherwise be. The writer apparentâ€" ly would send the communists to hospitals rather than to jails, which may be kindly way of viewing things, but scarcely warranted by the facts. VWhile the communists act as if they had a number of pains in their persons, there is a method in their madness that entitles them to little symâ€" waths as ciat falke ‘Their to use the ignorant and ecial .advantage d not cloud . the Timmins would â€" in little daiifgrent pOsSIZIOT seek to live «t the expeénse is the type of malady that for the safety of the rest 0 by w gold areéea wouid naye ue ith the two largest centres i juire much thought to unders uld be in the speedy develop! death.
