When the political game has been served, when the cheap appeal to false sentiment has lost its silly force, the honest newspapers af, Canada will be sorry for the injustice they have done to the wellâ€"conducted penitentiaries of Canada and the wwngful support they have given to the thugs and mean croolcs ;lnside the walls. In their hearts the newspapâ€" ers know t the penitentiaries of the Dominion have not deserved t anders recently peddled about them by former inmates whose own lives and crimes are such as to make their talesscarcely worth consideration. Surely, no sane Canadian vg}p]d foster in this country the type of prison that has made a neighbouring country lawless land. It will be an .;}Lday for Canada when the meanest and worst of the peopf' 'a.re sure of luxuries and comforts that are deâ€" yahonest and lawâ€"aliding people. It isn‘t the pemtenmam t.hat need enquiry, obut rather the mentality of some of the newspaper editors who accept the yarns of conâ€" victed criml nals, convicted of the meanest and most deplorâ€" able of crimés while official denial by reputable and honourâ€" able men sfiept aside, "What is the matter with Ontario?" a gentleman asked The Advance the other day, and then he proceeded unâ€" consciously to expose one of the troubles of the day. Acâ€" cording to this gentleman, who, no doubt, believed he was very broadminded and tolerant, this country should learn lessons from Russia, the United States and other places. He was apparently in favour of going to Russia for an economic system. He favoured the United States for govâ€" ernmental action. He thought that Quebec liquor laws were much superior to those of Ontario. A little consideration will show that the gentleman in question is neither broadâ€" minded nor Wellâ€"read. ‘What ails him after all is that he has an infe{i:gxlty complex. He has reached the stage where nothing in t country is right, and nobody in this country has any abilit; A lot of pe ple repeat in parrot fashion that unless atâ€" tention is p to the progress achieved in other parts of the world, thlé"f;fiuntry has little chance to advance. There is not so much to that idea as some people seem to imagine. Unless this%buntry holds fast to what it has already accomâ€" plished in the way of progress, it is certain to fall behind in the march forward to better things. To accept the notion that the gqople of Ontario are all nitâ€"wits or crooks is poor foundation for any action. It is not broadmindedness. It is not telerance. It is just plain inferiority complex. The truth of the matter is that economically, industrially and genet*lly. Canada has come through the world depresâ€" sion with Jéss evil results than most other countries. In this respect Ontario has been particularly fortunate. In saying this there:is no desire to suggest that any measure of perâ€" fection has been attained. Mistakes have been madeâ€" glaring mistakes. But the same is true of other countries. In Russia, for instance, the lot of the most happily situated people is much less desirable than that of even the less forâ€" tunate Canadians. One of the best proofs of this is the fact that those who prate the mcost about the glories of the Soviet make the most bitter fight against being sent to Rusâ€" sia to reside. The conditions in the United States are known to the world as most undesirable. United States newspapers and public men almost daily confess their envy for Canadian law and order and Canadian efficiency in governmental work. Why should Canadians continue their everlasting belittlement of themselves and their own public men? Hon. R, B. Bennett, premier of Canada, has made a name for himself and for the Dominion, by his talent and his remarkable industry and breadth of outlook. Judging by the expressions of opinion by public men in Europe and Now, these selfâ€"same newspapers rave because conditions at Portsmouth are so terrible! Men who have done nothing worse than murder, or rob with violence, or commit incest, or rigk murder for the sake of a paltry fee, are actâ€" ually punished when they defy authority inside the penitenâ€" tiary, as they did outside! It makes the heart bleed. Soliâ€" tary confinement for a man who thoughtlessly slips a knife between the ribs of a fellow prisoner! What a vengeful spirit! That men who have made the mistake of robbing a bank, or killing a stranger, or ruining their own daughter, should be confined under strict discipline, and denied the luxury of cigarettes, theatre parties and the other blessings denied to so many honest, lawâ€"abiding men today? "Thugs, murderers, artists at incest and abortion, surely men like these should have chance for reformation and a new and better life!" is the earnest cry of the newspaper editors who would sup their political porridge even from a penitentiary pot public to . the South.

There was holy horror at the idea that men who had accepted money from people who had fallen over themselves to pass it in should have cigarettes, gramophones, comfortable quarters, good meals and easy lives. There were newspapers that lashed themséives into a fury because men in the penitentiary were not prqperly boiled in oil as all such scoundrels should be, 4 TIMMIN®S, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher s Bubscription Rates: Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year It used to be the proud boast of lot of newspapers that there was not a single newspaper editor confined in Portsâ€" mouth penitentiary. Apparently at present a whole lot of editors seem to fear that they may land up at Portsmouth. Otherwise, why are they struggling so feverishly to have the place made as much as possible like one of those CPR. hotels where they stop at reduced rates for the pericd of one of the annual newspaper association conventions? It was that greatest of newspaper editors, the gentleman named William Shakespeare who said, "Conscience makes cox:'ds of us all." It is only a few months ago since a group of newspapers were fairly howling their heads off because men in the peniâ€" tentiary were used too kindly and had too many privileges.

Quite correct, professor, but you should have spoken some time ago and objected to the communist and other alien societies that you actually supported. As a matter of fact the Pascist and Hitler groups are the inevitable offspring from the Stalin and Soviet gangs. It is odd that there should be toleration for the advocates of force and violence so long as they are foreigners, while fury gathers in certain professorial breasts the moment that otherwise loyal men begin to talk of force for the‘r own protection. At a meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association at Toronto last week Hon. Wm. Finlayson roundly condemned the principle of direct relief. Direct relief, he asserted, was developing into something that would strangle the country. It was breeding a type of citizen that expected the state to support him without effort on his part, according to Hon. Mr. Finlayson. This is just what The Advance has been claiming for some t‘me past. The Advance, however, has been going further than that; it has been trying its best to show that the average decent citizen hates the idea 0@ direct rélief. He wants to help himself. All he asks is the chance to support himself and his dependents. Hcen. Mr. Finlayson referred in his usual strong language to the proâ€" blem. He did not, however, suggest any remedy. The cure for the evils he refers to is as plain as the ills themselves. The one and only cure for unemployment is employment. Employment, though it may cost a staggering amount, will for the evils he refers to is as plain as the ills themselves. The one and only cure for unemployment is employment. Employment, though it may cost a staggering amount, will be cheaper in the long run that any form of direct relief, dole or charity. There is.lots of work waiting to be done in Canada. It is the work of the Governments to start the work going.

When employment is=â€"suggzested as the remedy for unemâ€" ployment the query is always raiséd, "Where is the money to come from?" With direct relief it has been shown the same question applies, v‘th the added one suggested, ‘"Where Furthermore, this recovery is of a mere balanced order than that which is being achieved in the United States, where prices, production and payrolls are far from being in equiliâ€" brium, and it has been gained without using artificial and dangerous economic stimulants." In the province of Ontario, there has been suffering, yet no one has been allowed to starve. The Advance has been objecting right along because more has not been done, parâ€" ticularly in the way of employment, yvet surely it must be admitted that with all the apparent backwardness in Onâ€" tario it is difficult to find a state or province where condiâ€" tions have been better than here. It would seem to be well to urge improvements and betterment. It would seem to be equally wrong to pretend that Ontario‘s public men have been completely futile or that public men elsewhere have shown a greater skill. The gentleman who asked:â€""What is the matter with Ontario?" when pressed for details centred on the liquor laws of this province. As a matter of fact Ontario has liquor laws that prom‘ise to be used as models by the states to the south. "There are no blind pigs in Quebec," was the solemn assertion of the gentleman referred to. It is a comâ€" mon statement, repeated so often by some people that they actually believe it. How anyone who had been in Hull, Montreal, Rouyn, or knew anything about any of these places, could seriously make an assertion such as that quoted passes understanding. Most people in this part of the North know something of these places and other towns and cities in Quebec province and they are well aware that Quebez has its difficuities just the same as other provinces. There was an illuminating comment in The Huntingdon Gleaner last week. "Licensed places in the province of Quebec," said The Gleaner, "are confronted with the unlawful competition of blind pigs simply because the public submit to them and do not make an effort to remove the cause." Quebec is not foolish enough to appeal to Russia or the United States to help it deal with its blind pigs. Quebec is looking after its own affairs, confident in its public men and in its own proâ€" gress. Ontario has no more reason for fear or worry and ro more cause for inferiority complex or selfâ€"abasement. Ontario has a notable history of progress and development and if the people continue confidence in their own ability torâ€"work out their own destiny, all will be well. A gentleman writing last week to a certain or uncertain Toronto newspapper referred to three "beauties‘"‘ possessed by Toronto. He named them thus:â€"Lake Ontario, the Canadian National Exhibition, and the certain or uncertain newspaper itself. The lake and the newspaper are alike in being "all wet," but why drag in the Canadian National Exhibition? Perhaps, the answer is that Toronto made an exhibition of the C.N.E., while the certain or uncertain newspaper makes an exhihbition of itself. A local student at the high and vocational school is puzzlâ€" ed and perturbed. *"Why is it," he asks, "that all the boys who passed the recent examinations have no money to go on to school, while all who have money didn‘t pass and so there‘s no sense in them keeping on? A gentleman returning from a visit to the Canadian Naâ€" tional Exhibition reports overhearing a conversation someâ€" thing like this on street in Toronto:â€" "Hello, Bill!l Want a job?"

Our contention is that licenses should "nt be granted to those who will not take out public liability insurance. Perscnally, the writer woulid prefer not to drive a car at all than run the roads without insurance which would clear him in the event of being so. unforâ€" tunate as to cause damage to the other fellow. A serious accident would finâ€" ancially ruin the small business man unless he is protected by sufficient inâ€" surance. The statement that insurâ€" ance would make the driver more careâ€" less, cannot be taken seriously, and is on‘ an excuse. We are, of course, takâ€" ing our own feelings into account when there is the remotest chance of coming into collision or hitting the ditch, and, as we consider ourselves one of the average drivers, we are quite frank in saying that four times the insurance would be no inducement to us to be other than as careful as posâ€" sible to avoid a motor accident. "Discussing the matter of insurance with some motorists, we are told that insurance costs altogether too much for the protection given. . One manâ€"the owner of a garageâ€"â€"tells us that it would take close to $300 to cover his outfit.. He says he has carried insurâ€" ance in the past, but that under presâ€" ent conditions he finds it necessary to "take the risk" of an accident without insurance. Of course, he is the only one taking a chance. Should one of Indemnity Insurance ; for Public Protection his cars do damage, the victim is not even taking a riskâ€"he is a sure loser.

There is no question about it, there are some business enâ€" terprises which require either Governâ€" ment management or close Governâ€" ment control, and, when the Governâ€" ment derives such a revenue from the issuing of motor licenses and the gasâ€" oline taxation, it might naturally be considered that the Government could devise some scheme which would make the carrying of public liability insurâ€" ance not only desirable but also within the means of every car owner. This is a matter in which every resident of Canada is interested. One does not need to own a motor car to be beneâ€" fitted by it. As a matter of fact, the personâ€"man, woman or childâ€"who does not own a car is the one most directly interested and given protection.
