In other words, no matter how you look at it, they can‘t be beat at shooting. "Believe it or nct," their shooting is supreme, one way or another. Here is the proof. It is an item from The Northern News last week, reading as fcllows:â€"â€" "Some unusually accurate shooting was displayed at the National Shooting Gallery last week by Chas. Wallace, 1¢â€" cal sharpshocter, who. "bullseyed" the centre ‘of a target with three shots in cne hole while using a . .22 rifle at 25 yards range. His target was a stanâ€" dard one for the rangeâ€"a bullseye less than half an inch in diametsr on paper target five inches in diameter. Wallace‘s feat was wi‘nessed by the following, J. Sale, R. C. Tucker, W. Reid, W. Thompson, M. Rodgers and G. Smyth who gave it a bonafide ratâ€" ing. The score was made December 10, and the winner won a razor as a prize. Scmeâ€"days earlier Councillor D.

The Mont.real Gazette in an editorial article on Dec. 12th, deals with tns whole question at length and its reaâ€" soned words deserve much publicity. Not only does The Gazette commend the attitude of Hon. Mr. Gordon, but it also calls attention to the fact that there are other mischievous and treachâ€" erous aliens in this country who w.ill als> bear watching. The Gazetl‘e also suggests a very pertiment quesâ€" tion:â€""Where did the communists geot the money for all the legal battles they have waged to keep themselves fron being deported?" » _ m â€" However, here is the editorial from The Gazette:â€" _ Deporting the Reds The Minister of Immigration, Hon. Wesley Gordon, has acted wisely and rightly in his refusal to interfere with the deportation of eight Communists fax their activitiee have been most thoroughly investigated by three judiâ€" cial tribunals as well as by a departâ€" mental board of enquiry and by the Minister of Immigration himself. They have had every chance of rroving their fitness to remain in Canada, to enjoy the privileges and exercise the responâ€" sibilities of Canadian Citizenshp, and they have failed. They will be sent ‘back to the countries which they came, and the Dominion will be well. rid of them. If they can find in these _ home countries conditions preferable to those existing in Canadg, so much the ; better for them, but they do not seem to view the prospect with any enthusiâ€". asm. That is their affair. They had their cpportunity in Canada and they | missed it, and deportation is perhaps the mildest punishment, if it be a punâ€" ishment, that could be meted out to | them. Their enforced departure ought to have a salutary effect upon others of their kind who have so far escaped the operation of the law, and to this end it should be attended with as much publicity as possible. In the meanâ€" time, Mr. Gordon is to be congratula‘â€" ed upon a course of action which is far mcre in keeping with the true idea of ministerial responsibility than has been the attitude of some other minisâ€" Court of Canada. An appeal was then taken to the Minister who has some discretionary power under the act, and on Friday of last week Mr. Gordon made public his decision. The eight troubleâ€"makers concerned in this order are aliens, hailing from Finland, Germany, Bavaria, Austria, Hungary, Poland and the Ukraine. They came to a new country, presumâ€" ably to better themselves, and they were made welcome, In return they engaged in the propagation of comâ€" munism with the object of underminâ€" ing the established form of government and replacing it with the kind of thing which prevails in Soviet Russia, ant they were caught at it. There can be no doubt whatever as to their guilt. During their long detention at Haliâ€" inafoudrat ENBE ters in nearly similar circumstances. There are a great many members in the House of Commons who might reâ€" flect seriously upon Mr. Gordon‘s exâ€" ample, with profit to themselves and to the country whose interest they have been elected to serve.

One More Alien _ Held en Scrious Charges. â€" Jail Terms Given to the Sioux Rioters Last week at Sioux Lookout nine men were given jail terms following the disâ€" turbance there reported in The Adâ€" vance last week when three policemen were wounded in a riot in which agiâ€" tators, chiefly alien, followed up their silly parade and foolish demands by an exhibition of direct action. It may be noted that riot is the inevitable outâ€" come of this alien agitation, working on ignorant foreigners. To allow perâ€" formances like that at Sioux Lookout on Dec. 9th, when a group of alien agitators urged on their foreign folâ€" lowers "to take the town," would be to give up all law and order in Canada. The provincial authorities, however, do not intend to give up the country ito any group of halfchatehed forgigneys, and jail terms have been meted out to nine of the mischief makers. On one night last week at Sioux Lookout Magistrate Dynes sentenced Fred Malawako, John Fuchuk, and Mike Fedorkiw each to six months‘ imâ€" prisonment on charges of obstructing the police; Graham Kent to t.hree months on a charge of vagrancy, "and Gerald Furlong to one month on a vagrancy charge. - John Korope, alleged to have been the wielder of an axe and one of the leaders of the demonstration of jobâ€" less, said to have been instigated by Communists, was committed to stand trial at ‘the Spring. Assizes onâ€" two charges of attempted murder and one charge of common assault. He will remain in jail at Kenora until he comes up for trial. The following night four more men concerned in the disturbance were senâ€" tenced to six months at hard labour. They pleaded not guilty, but Magisâ€" trate Dynes said he found strong eviâ€" dence to show their guilt. These four are: Henry Schneider, George McCaiâ€" don, Ben Taylor and Thomas‘Spenuk. Police at Sioux Lookout believe the trouble is now at an end, although several of the men said to have been in the riotous crowd are still : about the town. It is thought they will go to one of the relief road camps near Sioux Lookout.

W. A. Gorâ€" For the past two years The Advance| has been urging that the only cure for unemployment is the providing of work. When this policy was apparently dropâ€" ped this year in favour of direct relief The Advance expressed the sincerest regret, and when the argument was ardvanced that the country could not afford the cost of public works to keep | all employed, the answer was that this country could not afford the cost of direct reliefâ€"a cost prohibitive in dolâ€" lars and still more deplorable in the moral effects on its unfortunate and unwilling victims. Apart from a few alien agitators and a few selfâ€"seeking pecple of the high finance ring, no one in this country wanted direct relief. Certainly the workers did not want it. The continual cry here, as elsewhere in this Dominion, has been, ‘"We want work; we don‘t want charity. Give us work, and we will look after ourselves." It may be taken for granted that the Governments were forced into the direct relief game. There was such a howl about high taxes and so on, that apparently the Governments were misâ€" led in the matter. Canadians do not want anyone in this country to suffer want.: The thought is foreign to Canâ€" adian feelings and disposition But neither do Canadians wish to calmly support the thriftless and those who will not work. These two classes are the only ones who like direct relief. All the othersâ€"the best class of workâ€" ers in every lineâ€"ask only for the 'cha.nce to keep themselves. C U _ L ons sn ons As was expected, the cost of directl relief has been a staggering one. The reason for this is that direct relief makes for more men to have to seek it. It helps no industry. It does nothing more than keep life in those receiving it. On the other hand, work sets the wheels of industry going. Work makes more work. Work starts a favourable "chain", instead of the evil one created by direct relief. Last week Premier Henry had an interview with Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Labour, at Ottawa. The result of this interview is reported to The Toronto Globe correspondent at Ottawa interviewed the Ontario pr2â€". mier while he was at the capital and. reported as follows:â€""Mr. Henry statâ€" ‘ed that, in Ontario this year counting all contributions, the amount spent for relief of unemployment by Federal, Provincial and municipal authorities, will run to nearly $16,000,000, accordâ€" ing to the estimate of J. A. Ellis; Onâ€" tario Relief Commissioner. The Preâ€" mier, however; is not wholly convinced that the system of direct relief, which is being followed throughout the ¢ xunâ€" try, to the practical exclusion of everyâ€" thing else, is really the best. ~Mr. Henry said that he was not at the conference here last spring when the Dominion and the Provinces were in agreement on the question of direct relief, but, in be that there will be more emphasis given again to public works and less reliance placed on direct relief. This will be good news, indeed! the light, of experience he was doubtâ€" ful if the previous decision was a corâ€" rect one. He pointed to the latest proâ€" posal by the United States Government to spend $500,000,000 in stimulating unâ€" employment . relief . work,. ‘Mr. Henry also stressed the point that money spent on construction work releases for circulation a greater amount than . if it were applied only to direct relief. For example. suprilies have to be purâ€" chased and construction material used, thus providing secondary employment. Moreover, a great many people perfer to work rather than receive a relief that is suggestive of charity. There was no intention of abandoning direct relief, Mr. Henry said last night." In regard to that last statement that there is no intention of abandoning direct relief, it is at least an advance to feel that employment as a cure from unemployment is not being abandoned, but rather is being emphasized again. In an article commenting on the conference between Premier Henry and. Hon. W. A. Gordon, The Globe of Thursday last says:â€""There is a strong probability that the Ontario Governâ€" ment will set up further relief camps in Northern Ontario this winter, Preâ€" mier Henry indicated last night on his return from Ottawa. Premier Henry‘s anncuncement followed a discussion in the capital with Hon. Wesley Gordon, iMnister of Labour, when the latter suggested that the Federal Government was prepared to go further in this form of unemprloyment relief. The addiâ€" tional work, if undertaken, will consist of construction of the transâ€"Canada highway and also work on secondary in the North. On the former, Governments will split the cost on a 50â€"50 basis, and the latter on 60 per cent. basis for Ontario and 40 per cent. charge to the Federal Governâ€" ment. About 6,000 unemployed workâ€" ers have already been sent North this year, but this numbér is smaller than the quota in Northern relief camps last winter. There is a considerable popuâ€" lation of single unemployed men whom Premier Henry and his Government desire to take care of, and the extenâ€" sion of the plan will altogether likely be worked out in the very near future, so that many may be given work, not from southern urban centres, but from northern localities, where many don at Ottawa. i vVOUs#+ Not Sure of Number "The Dominion Government has no objection to the expansion of this work. The number of men to be engaged in this road work during the present winâ€" ter will be increased; but I cannot say at the moment the amount of the inâ€" construction highway work was 6,000 ap;iwoximately on November 1. The total represents a decrease from the figure on November 1 of last year. \ Placing of small householders in Onâ€" tario on the same basis as tenants also was discussed at the meetings. Conâ€" versaticns on this subject were describâ€" ed by Mr. Henry as a general discusâ€" sicn. _ No decision was reached, the Preinier stated. "HMHow much would the cost of this scheme amount to as applied to Onâ€" tario?" Mr. Henry was asked. "I cannot give any estimate at pres« ent," the Ontario Premier answered. Total Relief For One Year Mr. Henry explained a reference atâ€" tributed to him to a figure of $16,000,â€" 000. â€" "That is an old figure representâ€" ing for the one year, an estimate of the total contributions of the Dominton, the province of Ontario and the municiâ€" palities towards relief," he emphasized. T. N. 0. Railway and the Air Service Comment onâ€"the Suggestion that the T. N. O. Railway Take over Commenting on the article in The Advance some weeks ago, The Huntsâ€" ville Forester last week had the folâ€" lowing editorial:â€" "The inauguration of a new daily air service between Timmins and Toâ€" ronto, Montreal and Ottawa, is shortly to be announced. Huntsville has been selected as a base on the new air line. The large planes to be employed will carry as high as fourteen passengers, together with a reserve capacity for considerable express business. "It is surprising to read that the passenger rates to be charged will be as low as present railway fares, and carrying charges for merchandise will be as low as those at present charged by the express companies. "This is real competition for the railâ€" ways, and prompts the Porcupine Adâ€" vance to suggest that the service ought to be taken over by the T. and N. O. Railway and not left to a competitive private company. The same course of action was suggested when it was found that the trucks and passenger buses on ‘our highways were giving ruinous competition to the railways. But there are many who believe that a great transportation monopoly, even though it be Government owned. is not whoilly desirable. If the air service from the north makes possible a duplication of existing railway tolls, and give a vastly quicker service, is it to be supposed that, if monopolized by the railway, the same service and rates would apply? Such is wholly improbable. The railâ€" way, faced with the problem ‘of meetâ€" ing fixed charges, would hardly estabâ€" lish against itself, a competitive air serâ€" _vice designed to wreck the attainment of such an object. It is highly improâ€" +bable that the public interests would be as safely protected, with monoâ€" polistic powers placed in the hands of the T. N. O. The number of men on northern "Is it not probable also that the inâ€" centive for profit, would tend to make a privately operated concern more effiâ€" cient?

N. O. appears to be operated very efficiently and economically." The answer to The Huntsville Forâ€" estor is suggested in the last part of the last paragraph of the editorial itself. "The T. N. O. appears to be operated very efficiently and cconomically." All that the Huntsville newpaper suggests as to the looseness of public ownership has not been fairly applicable to the T. N. O. Railway. The Advance would assuredly not suggest the C.N.R. taking over anything. Too much has been taken over already. The public interests, however, would not at all be endangzered by "monopolistic powers placed in the hands of the T. N. O." The T. N. O. has had such powers ~and there has never beer any sign or a tendency to abuse them in recent years. The T. N. O. has its whole heart in the development of the North Country and the service of the people here. The country and the people are safe in the hands of the T. N. O. The Advance doubts very much whether the "incentive for profit" would tend to more efficiency than displayed by the T. N. 0. It should not be forgotten that the T. N. O. also has the "inâ€" centive for profit,"‘ the same as any private concern, only not to the extent of sacrificing the interests of the pubâ€" lic, that‘s all. The bus and truck serâ€" vices have given an unfair competition to the rgilways. In the matter of air service, The Advance would like to see the people‘s own railway, the T. N. | O., have a fair deal The T. N. O., as a matter of fact, should be able, to handle an air service more economically and efficiently than a private company. The Advance for the present simply suggests that the question be considerâ€" ed very carefully now, before a private air service is established in competition with the T. N. O., reaping where the railway has sown and enjoying what the railway has established without paying the price the railway ha.s had to pay.
