TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Thursday by: Timmins, Ont., Thursday, October 6th, 1932 Timmins has won a merited name for itself for being a lawâ€"abiding town. Without posing as ultraâ€"good, its record has been unusual for mining town. With the exception of an occasional few months, Timmins has maintained a standard of sobriety and regard for the law that has been equal to that of the average town in the South where law and order are supposed to be rigidly observed. There is neither sense nor justice in pretending that Timmins is "wide open" or the law broken with immunity. It will be freely admitted that there are minor breaches of the law here; that there is some illicit traffic in liquor; but these things are true of towns elsewhere in the province. No thoughtful or fairâ€"minded citizen would care to pretend that Timmins is better than it is, but it would be equally unfair and evil to blackguard the community as worse than the facts warrant. There seem to be some people with twisted mentality who would defame the town and go conâ€" trary to the truth for purposes of their own that do not seem easy to discern. A case in point is a letter published in The Toronto Daily Star ‘one evening last week. The Star seems a fitting reâ€" ceptacle for such a letter. Incidentally, it may be noted that if anything evil or undesirable occurs in Timmins or district The Star is ready to give it prominence and pubâ€" licity. If there is anything good occurring here this certain or uncertain newspaper shows little interest or attention. The letter published in The Star last week was signed by the pen name "Taxpayer." Most honest people would sugâ€" gest a shorter and more emphatic word to describe the writer of the letter. The letter writer makes the statement that blindpigs have increased 100 per cent. in the past year or two. Such a statement is both foolish and untrue. The truth is that illicit sale Of liquor is steadily decreasing in town. It is true that there are yet some places where liquor is improperly sold. It is equally true that it would be better for the town and the people if every one of these places were weeded out. One sure way to increase the diffiâ€" culty about closing up blindpigs is to lie about the matter. Nothing is gained and much is lost by pretending that conâ€" ditions are worse than they really are. What is needed is a little more support to the authorities in the work of clearâ€" ing the town of the cheap lawbhreakers. There is no posâ€" sible excuse for blindpigs under the present law. The Onâ€" tario Liquor Control Act allows every man who does not abuse liquor to secure and enjoy a reasonable amount of this form of refreshment without breach of the law. Why anybody should patronize blindpigs when liquor of better quality at lower cost is obtainable legally at the liquor vendor‘s and at the brewery warehouse is a matter that puzzles many. It may be that patronage for the blindpigs comes from the class of people who are so unreasonable and so unfair as to write letters such as the one appearing last week in The Toronto Star. w . ol lt Je with other towns and To suggest otherwise is to| _ The Ottawa Journal, the newst misrepiresent in most objectionable way.

It would mean emplo; a good name for law observance and order. velopment for the future. s % * The writer of the letter in The Star suggests that scores of places are openly selling liquor and that no effort is made to stop them. ‘This sugfgestion is more or less qualified by the inference that if the police are taking any action, then no mention of the fact is made in the local paper. In The ,Advancp during thissyear. the names of over fifty men and women have been mentioned as being prosecuted and convicted for illegal possession or sale of liquor. ‘A hasty summary made this week from the fyles of The Adâ€" vance for this year shows thit over $6,000.00 has been colâ€" lected in fines for illegal possession or sale of liquor, while ten or twelve other offenders have been sent to jail. These figures do not include minor infractions of the liquor law, such as drunkenness, but refer only to those offences that suggest blindpigs. The list of convictions indicates that the police are active and earnest in their effort to curb lawâ€"breaking, and the number of the convictions does not prove the real prevalence of breach of the law, for some of the number are what may be termed repeaters, while many are lawâ€"breakers who have come to town to carry on busiâ€" ness as they have elsewhere without interference, but they find in Timmins that they are required to observe the liquor laws as well as the other laws of the land. There are some people who expected the repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act and the substitution therefor of a sane and reasonable measure to completely oust all lawâ€"breaking. This is too much to expect. It will take some time and much patience to teach all the poor sptorts and cheap crooks to play the game and abide by the law. To achieve such a desired end all decent people will have to supmport the authorities. There will need to be less of reckless lying such as that indulged in by "Taxpayer." |.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher SBubscription Rates United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year Last week The Cochrane Northland Post again proposed consideration for the idea of the sale of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway to the Canadian National Railways. In making the suggestion The Post admits that it knows such an idea would be objectionable to The Adâ€" vance. The proposal should be offensive to every thoughtful citizen of Ontario, and especially to those resident in The North. For anyone in the North to propose such a plan seems nothing more or less than plain fonlishness,. What is there to commend the idea? It would not help the North; it would be of no advantage to Ontario; it would be an inâ€" jury to the Ontario Government owned railway; it is not easy to see how it could assist the Canadian National Railâ€" ways or the Dominion. The T. N. O. Railway has served the people of the North in very effective way. It has proâ€" vided a local service that has not been equalled by any other railway in any other territory. With all this, the T. N. 0. has not been a burden on the people like the Canadian National Railways. The provincial raiiway has been manâ€" aged in expert way so that the people have had service, while the railway has been able to keep going without its finances being a grievous burden. On the other hand the Canadian National Railways has failed utterly to give decent local service. The people from Hearst to Cochrane have had reason to realize that fact in the years that are past, while at present the truth of this claim is being emphasized in most painful way. With all the sufferings of the people in the way of local traffic, the Canadian National has been a continual burden on the taxpayer. It is idle to attempt to explain or excuse these facts. They still remain facts that must be faced. Why make the situation worse for the localities served by the railways, without any compensating advantage to anybody? Were the T. N. O. to be sold to the Canadian National the territory now so well served by the provincial railroad would be in sad plight, indeed. Imagine the people of this area having the same sort of service that now oppresses the poor unfortunates along the It seems plain that any sale that promises even proâ€" blematical chance of advantage must take the form of the sale of a section of the Canadian National to the T. N. O. Such a sale, if it could be achieved, would mean at least a fair service for the people of the C.N.R. from Cochrane to Hearst. It might be possible to carry out such a plan without loss to anyone. To consider the turning over of the railway that serves the North to the tender mercies of the C.N.R. is to contemprilate immediate loss and injury to the North and eventual damage to the province and the Dominion. With the principle that there shall be no interference with the courts on minor matters there goes the duty of the Attorneyâ€"General to see that in the principles of the law the courts of the land are upheld. Instead of occupying himself with letters about jokes by magistrates, the Attorâ€" neyâ€"General would do well to give his every effort to prevent any magistrate‘s court from being made a joke through the effect of any outside force or influence. The whole safety of the British idea of law and justice rests in the principle that neither politics from within nor influence from without shall handicap the administration of evenâ€"handed justice. While the Attorneyâ€"General was apparently occupied in attempting to watch the humour of the police courts there was a startling incident in one of the best conducted courts in the province. In this court it was shown that for once the fate of a case dgid not rest with the court but with outâ€" side infiuence. A man charged with an offence had n9 chance to prove his innocence; the authorities had no opâ€" portunity to present their findings. It was in effect apparâ€" ently in the power of outside forces to say the case should not proceed. ‘The Attorneyâ€"General has done well indeed in this matter to make the fact clear that there will be no interference tolerated either from within or withâ€" out with the cause of justice. Ontario at the present time needs to guard carefully against the danger of the loss of the British form of justice and the practical system of law and order that has made this country acceptable to the majority of its people. There is insidious attack being made upon the whole fabric of evenâ€" handed law. The assaults made for years upon the chief of police of Toronto and his honest enforcement of the law is a case in point. Behind it all has been the desire to fasten upon this country a political system similar to that under which the people of the United States are opptressed. Only a small minority would willingly tolerate it. The present day, however, is one in which majorities must guard their rights or lose them, so cunningly is the minority organized. This minority misses no opportunity to impede British jusâ€" tice and the British manner of life. Just at the moment representatives of the minority in the press of the country are praising the Attorneyâ€"General for what may easily deâ€" velop into a rank interference with the administration of the courts of the province. The Attorneyâ€"General is credited with warning magistrates against the exercise of humour in their courts. Anyone who stops to think should be able to see that if the Attorneyâ€"General may even unduly criticize the bench in matters of this kind the magistrates almost inevitably cease to function as free and independent adâ€" ministrators of justice and become the creatures of the Attorneyâ€"General. The system thus changes from the Briâ€" tish one that has obtained in this country up to the present, to the United States scheme of politically controlled courts and law. It may easily be the thin end of the wedge, unless the people in general let it be known that they will have none of such a nefarious system. It is encouraging to see that many newspapers in the province are aware of the danger and are urging that even in lesser matters the courts be left untrammelled so that in the larger matters the bench may be free as it has been. There should be no attempt to control the courts by circular or otherwise. The law alâ€" ready provides a serious remedy for any serious situation. mins.

It is said that he can tell immediately if there is anyâ€" thing wrong with you and also if he can help you. If you are suffering from anything he cannot cure Dr. Locke tells you so offâ€"hand and that is the end of it. If you are not really a sufâ€" fer from anything he tells you so deâ€" cidedly, It is stated that he‘spends only a minute or less with cach patient and that he has innumerable cures to his credit. Some cases are cured with the one manipulation. Others have to return day after day for several days. What specially impressed the Schuâ€" macher visitor was the number of wealthy people attending the Dr. LOocke clinics. "I never saw so many elegant motor cars gathered together anywhere before," he said. The visitors ~were chiefly from the United States. He thought they would average around a thousand a day. While Dr. Locke has an office, there are so many rimtients daily that the office can not be used. The patients are treated in the open air. There are people with slight deâ€" formities and others badly crippled. Ssome are suffering from what the docâ€" tor terms various forms of rheumatism.

It may be that the prospectors did not actually believe this, but were forced to act as they did by reason of the fact that the Croesus was apparently so spectacular that the financial and mining men could not believe it was possible. Samples from ‘this mine was a signal for many to say, like the farmer at the cirecus about the giraffe, "there ain‘t no such animal." In any event the Croesus was passed up repeatedly. Eventually, however, three mining men from Montreal took a chance on it and by the use of hand steel only they are reported to have taken from a million to double that amount before getting down 100 fect.
