\Under a literal score of names, a group of foreign agitaâ€" tors for the past two years in Timmins have been spending time, money and effort in mischiefâ€"making. Members of this gang have repeatedly refused work. Had they spent half the time and effort and money in seeking work or supâ€" port that they have given to midnight billâ€"posting, attempts to parade, incitements to breach of the law, and the other long list of silly and disgusting disloyalty to the worker and to the country, there might be some patience with them. Recently their silly circulars distributed in the dead of night have been especially scurrilous. Direct lies, misrepresentaâ€" tion and abuse have been their stock in trade. None of them are genuine citizens of Timmins. So far as has been humanly possible all the citizens of Timmins have been helped so far as the council and the town could help. It is perfectly true that a number of good people here have been having a difficult time, and that is all the more reason why there should be no consideration of any further burdening of these hardâ€"pressed citizens by any assistance to this group of alien malcontents who pretend to know how to remedy all the troubles of the world but whose ignorance is so painfully evident in their apparent judgment that everybody else has no sense at all. The firm stand taken by the mayor and council on Monâ€" day will commend itself to all thoughtful people. Condiâ€" tions are too serious and real difficulties too many to waste time or effort with these asinine alien agitators. They have accomplished nothing but irritation and injury to the workâ€" er, and even a drunken man should have more sense than to be made a tool of by these lazy ingrates who have been livâ€" ing at the expense of misguided workers long enough. The town of Timmins has no responsibility for their presence here or for whatever plight they may be in. People who have to work hard for a livelihood are more than surfeited with their indolence and insolence. In view of the announcement from Ottawa it may be accepted as a fact that the Dominion Government does not intend to inflict injustice and ruin on any of the settlements that have zrown up along the three transcontinental lines. At the same time it must be acknowledged that the dupliâ€" cation of transcontinental lines is one of the chief factors in Canada‘s present railway difficulties Here, The Adâ€" vrance would like to renew a suggestion made some time ago. This suggestion was to the effect that it might be well worth while for the Dominion and Ontario Governments to conâ€" sider the idea of the T. N. O. Railway taking over the Canadian National Railway line from Cochrane to Nakina. At the present time this stretch of railway is not used for transcontinental traffic, while at the same time it is giving most inadequate local service. The Canadian National Railways apparently centred ali its thought on through w,fiqflneedsreceiflnz very scant consideration. It is apparen{ly impossible for the C.N.R. to get away from this In striking contrast to these cases was that of the silly and impudent demands of the political aliens who see in the present depression nothing more than a chance to create mischief and throw insults. It should not be forgotten that every dollar given to these fellows, who appear to desire to do no other work than with their mouths, is simply anâ€" other dollar taken from the deserving cases. These fellows in their crackâ€"brained way talk about cash that they "deâ€" mand‘" to be paid to keep them comfortably in idleness, apâ€" parently thinking the council is so lacking in sense that it is not understood that the "demands" would have to be financed at the expense of the ratepayers, many of whom are themselves in dire straits, and none of whom can afford to keep these alien agitators in the luxury to which they imagine themselves entitled. The deputation from the soâ€" called unemployed had the effrontery and lack of decency to sit and listen to the genuine appeals from decent citizens and then present their own preposterous "demands"â€"deâ€" mands that could only be met at the direct pauperization of the decent lawâ€"abiding people of the town. As Mayor Drew pointed out to these men, they did not reâ€" present the unemployed in any way. They were simply usâ€" Ing the name of the unemployed for their own alien political purposes. Following the publication of the report of the Royal Comâ€" mission on Transportation in Canada there has been much talk of the economies that must be effected to relieve Canâ€" ada from the burdens of its railway problems. One suggesâ€" tion has been made to the effect that one or more of the transcontinental railway lines through the North might be abandoned. The report of the Royal Commission does not recommend anything as drastic as that, and the suggestion was followed by an official statement from Ottawa that it was not intended to abandon any line or lines that would ruin villages or towns or industries along the way or leave any section of country without some means of transportation facilities. A man, who had lived in Timmins for eighteen years and paid his taxes regularly until last year, asked for the forâ€" bearance of the town council until he could get work and be able to pay his tax arrears. He was anxious to be taken on for town relief work which seemed the only available work here now. "Two other men made similar appeal to the council. "I gon‘t want to ask direct relief," said one, adding that all he hoped and prayed for was the chance to work and make his own way. The other man told of his landlord taking out the doors and windows in his house because he was behind in his rent. The man begged for a chance to work and pay his way. Members of council could not help but be touched by these appeals, and they are only a few of literally hundreds of deserving cases with which the authorities are attempting to deal. One lady whose husband had left her penniless with several children asked the council if something could not be done to assist her and her family. The good woman had a sugsestion to make:â€"If her son, who had reached manâ€" hood‘s estate, could only be given work by the town, the family would manage somehow to struggle along. . At Monday afternoon‘s council there was what the alien midnight biliâ€"posters wouid term an "orgy" of asking for help. Another woman, a younger one, felt that she and her husband were a burden on her mother. She also had a sugâ€" gestion:â€"If her husband out of work for months, could only get on the town relief work they could manage somehow.

Last week The Norâ€" thern News noted that Chief Shane, of Kirkland Lake, is an expert woodâ€"carver and an artist in this line. Chief Jones, of Timmins, is an efficient horticulturalist, and all summer long it has been an odd day that a bouquet of flowers did not adorn hnis desk. All of which simply proves that policemen are human, too, and like to turn from the less pleasant things of duty to the finer things of lifeâ€"art, music, beauty, affection. In rightly objecting to the current tendency to consider reâ€" ductions in teachers‘. salaries, The Toronto Star falls into the common error of picturing the teacher as working from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. The conâ€" scientious teacher might well hope that his or her hours were no longer than this. The teacher, however, often starts another period of strenuous work after the school hours gre over. As an actual matter of fact the hours of the conâ€" scientious teacher are longer than in most other callings. But acquainted wiht the system, how much more inâ€" telligibleâ€"almost intelligentâ€"it seems. The Ottawa chief of police seems to be afraid of big dogs, and some of the people are a little nervous about little dogs. There is a great diviâ€" sion of opinion as to whether dogs are best on a leash, or boiled in oil. Some prefer hot dogs and others want them cold in death. Some people prefer dogs to their neighbour‘s lawns and gardens, and other think that it is nice to have a decent dog to talk to after the radio programmes and sports in Ottawa. There were so many letters pro and con about the dog question that a decisive editorial on the dog seemed imperative. So the editorial conference got busy. There was the editor that had a dog, and the editor that had a garden, and the editor that believes in toleration beâ€" cause he hasn‘t either a dog or a garden; and, of course, there was the communist editor. The dogged editor and the dogless editor and the doggone editors all got their heads together. Recently Rev. Canon Quartermaine, of Renfrew, comâ€" menced the fortyâ€"second year of his faithful service as recâ€" tor of St. Paul‘s Anglican church, Renfrew. In this regard Rev. Canon Quartermaine has a truly remarkable record and in another line he deserves equal appreciation. For about a quarter of a century Rev. Canon Quartermaine has been an active and useful official of the Children‘s Aid Soâ€" ciety and the children he has helped and saved for the better things of life may be counted literally by the hunâ€" dreds. Revy. Canon Quartermaine is widely known and esteemed, though he may have less passing fame than some other of the citizens of Renfrew, but his work will in a particular way live after him, though he live to be as old as his wide circles of friends would wish. Despite the fact that the open season for partridge does not open until â€"Oct. 10th there have been a number of unâ€" sportsmanlike fellows shooting the birds in the last few weeks. In some sections of the North it is said that the evil work of these fellows has either killed off or driven away the partridge. When the season legally opens there will be few birds for the honest and lawâ€"observing hunter. It is a pity that this sort of thmg should prevail, and it does seem that effective action should be taken to make the unâ€" sportsmanlike give some respect to the law. The scheme fascinates The Advance. When the trick is known it is so easy to understand an Ottawa Journal ediâ€" torial. For instance, there was an editorial on dogs in The Journal last week. That was an editorial that would bring a growl from any man who did not know the combination. It would annoy a lover of dogs; it would irritate a man who did not like dogs; it wouldn‘t please even a selfâ€"respecting pup in person. Circulars were distributed around town this summer by the alien agitators saying that the Imperial Conference would be a "drunken orgy." Then came circulars suggesting that the visit of the Shriners to the North would be a "drunken orgy." Next was the announcement by circular that there would be a "drunken orgy" when the Legislature members came to the North. Of course, there were no "drunken orgies‘" in any of these connections. The alien agitators, however, may know of some "drunken orgies." From information elicited at the council meeting Monday it does not seem improbable that the alien agitators hope by means of "drunken orgies" to add an odd member or two to their list of membership in the alien alias associations. "Naturally, I am against the police dog editor. "We must look at the dog from all sides," said the dogged editor. "Unless dogâ€"lovers happen to be in the ma I‘m a bulldog for hounds," said the dogless editor ‘"‘The moral is," concluded the Editorial Secretary, "that some like dogs and some hate them, and some just don‘t give a doggone, and as 126,872 people (which is the populaâ€" tion of Ottawa at the last census) can‘t be wrong, then we are just where we started, and everybody knows nearly as much as they knew before." It‘s a great system! Some of these alien agitators are so opposed to working that they wouldn‘t take a job even if you were to buy one for them. «t idea. mmyeventudoecnmrtolack the desire or the kmwledtetoumwlocalfleeds As a result there is an important part of the North Land that is suffering toâ€"day, even more than it suffered in the past. It should not be forâ€" gotten in this connection that disadvantage to one part of the North is an injury to ail the North The T. N. 0. Railway, on the other hand, has specialized in lecal service. It has been particularly and specifically a North Land railâ€" way. Perhaps there has been no other single factor that has done as much to assure the development and progress of the North. If the T. N. 0. took over the transcontinâ€" ental line from Cochrane to Nakina the people along the railway would be assured of the best possible service. The T. N. 0. would serve that section well, just as it has servâ€" ed other parts of the North to date. The Canadian Naâ€" tional Railways would be relieved from a burden, while The Advance believes the T. N. O. would make the line an asâ€" set to the country and to the provincial railway.

This does not appear very hopeful, but nevertheless those in receipt of Imâ€" perial pensions in Canada can thank the Canadian Legion for getting thei case that far. There is yet time for some action to be taken, and more than likely the scheme as adopted for the payment of Imperials in New Zealand will be used. This is as follows:â€" "By an arrangement with the Imâ€" perial Government, the New Zealand Government makes payments, direct to Imperial pensioners on certificates from the Ministry of Pensions in London. Althought the exchange rate favoured the English pound these payments have been made of the actual amount of the certificates in New Ztaland funds. The New Zealand Returned Soldiers‘ Associâ€" ation pressed for an adjustment, and it has now been decided that Imperial Pensioners in that country will®receive the benefit of the exchange as from January 1, 1930, and for the fubure the the entire assem!} be arranged owin signing other n agreements.
