that seem davs. Some day when people take the time to sit down ccolly and honestly and review the facts there will be general appreciation of the many notable services given this counâ€" try in the last threa vears by the premier of Canada, Hon. R. B. Bennett. Fairminded peaple will be ready to admit that he has given an energy, an enterprise, an ability of outstanding order to Canala in her time of need. His courâ€" age and his patriotism will e gladly admitted even by those who may not agree with his policies. Canada has reason to be proud of her premie~, Hon. R. B. Bennett. It is doubtâ€" ful if any other premier ever carried so heavy a load or bore it with more gallantry and lack of selfâ€"pity. The most recent service given to Canada by Premier Benâ€" nett is the bringing together sgain of the railways and their employees. Possibly the sympaithy of the. majority in thh country has been with the nien. The railwaymen‘s unions decent to have referred to Jos. A. Bradette, M.P.P., as a scoundrel, and branded Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King as a murderer. "Liar" "Scoundrel!" "Murderer!" Surely these are words that pass all bounds of fair play and decency. In place of being a scoundrel, even those opposed to Mr. Bradette will be ready to admit that he is a man of exemplary charâ€" acter and devoted to the service of the people of the North. Difference of opinion is to be expected. Abuse might even be overlooked. But the words quoted pass all decency and make discussion of public affairs impossible. To suggest that Hon. Mackenzie King is a murderer is ridiculous. But it is more than malicious abuse. It is no less than indecent, Making all allowance for the difficulties of the times and for the youthful enthusiasm and ignorance of some who are seeking to make themselves prominent in politics at the preâ€" sent time, it would appear to be well for the people themâ€" selves to make it known that personalities of this vicious and unjust order are not to be tolerated. Anycne who takes the trouble to think at all should reaâ€" lize the fact that at the present time there is no one in public life, whether as a private member or as an executive in government, municipal, provincial or Dominion, but is giving genercusly of heart and strength for the public serâ€" vice. Those in authority are bearing very heavy burdens indeed. It would appear that the very least that might be done by the critical is to show at least the common courâ€" tesy and decency that is expected between men in the world of men. Criticisms need not be stified, but there should be avoidance of the unwarranted personal abuse that tends to drive good men from any service to the public. The offensive terms quoted were made by men who have the impudence to talk at times of "liberty of speech." It this sort of thing is their conception of liberty of speech it is surely easy enough to understand why their freedom must be curtailed. At first thought it might be considered that the vapoutr" ing of some callow youth at a meeting of students should receive no special notice or considefration. The truth, howâ€" ever, seems to be that the ravings of this untutored lad sugâ€" gest a condition .in the University that needs attention. For some time past there has been a belief in Ontario that all is far from well in the University of Toronto. There is a growâ€" ing opinion that the rowdyism and tendency to disloyalty evidenced by some of the pupils at the University is the direct result of the teachings and examples of some of the professors. It is said that there are professors who directly and indirectly iristil atheism and traitorism into the minds of the students in their care. The Toronto Globe at present is in an apparent frensy to induce an investigating into the conditions at the penitentiaries of Canada. Would it not be a greater service to the country to have an enquiry i0 definitely settle the question as to what injury is being done the youth of the country through the false tegching credited to certain professors at Toronto University? Are the youth of Ontario being trained to disloyalty and disafâ€" fection? Are they sneered and bullied into a disregard for the religious beliefs held by the vast majority of those who pay for the upkeep of the University? Are smooth phrases about liberty of speech and freedom of conscience being made the cloaks for men in places of trust who would undermine all that the majority hold true?

"Liar" "Scoundrel! At a meeting last week of some of the students of the University of Toronto one of the young sons of a college professor referred to the Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario as a liar. The youth had been speaking of the soldiers stationed at Stratford to protect life and property and to preserve law and order there. "The Attorheyâ€"General says the mayor of Stratford asked for the troops to be sent. The mayor deâ€" nies this," said the young man. His final conclusion was that the Attorneyâ€"General was a liar. Te fact of the matâ€" ter is that the young fellow is illâ€"informed as well as impuâ€" dent and offensive. . The police commission at Stratford asked for the aid of the soldiers for the safety of the city and the Attorneyâ€"General would have been remiss in his duty had he refused the request. The soldiers were not zgent to Stratford to help one side or the other in the strikes in progress. To demand the withdrawal of the soldiers is to suggest that law and order are not desired. The soldiers are not causing any trouble of any kind. They are preventâ€" ing the chance of disorder. Stratford does not even bear the cost of their visit to that city.

As a matter of fact, however, Siléent Bill Biddle was born in Canada and knows whereof he speaks, and so appears to have a special right to be allowed to deliver his message. He is not actuâ€" ated by spleen or spite.

If so, the railwaymen must be actuated by something very different to selfâ€"‘nterest, for certainly under any C.C.F. authority the railway <«mployees would be one class whose earnings would be very materially decreased and employment lessened for a considerabi» time at least.

Would it be There are a number of influential men at present proâ€" testing against the idea of building a roadway through Algonquin Park. When there is so much clamour for roads and more roads it is a wonder indeed to find one section of Ontario opposing the building of just another highway. It is a still greater wonder that a government should conâ€" sider building a roadway when there is a protest against it There are so many other sections of people crying for roads that the government says it has not money to build that it seems odd, indeed that any stretch of roadway should be attempted against the objection of any material number. The Government should compromise the matter by buildâ€" ing that badlyâ€"needed and desirable roadway to connect Sudbury, Shiningtree, Gowganda, Elk Lake, Matachewan, McArthur and Porcupine mining camps.

Some propose one of twelve months, each month of a stated number of days. Others want a thirteenâ€" month year. In every case the makers of new styfe calenâ€" dars finds themselves with days and parts of days to be disâ€" posed of arbitrarily. The genius they show for dealing with this extra time is worthy of a better cause. With all the vital questions to be dealt with toâ€"day it is evidence of the human touch that some men should be wasting time foolâ€" ing with the calendar. The resentment they will show at this suggestion is evidence of the human touchiness, In an advertisement for an event by the New Liskeard Kiwanis, The Speaker last week had the following suggestive line:â€"New Liskeard,â€""Where the Givers Don‘t, Kick, and the Kickers Don‘t Give." That isn‘t New Liskeard; that is nearly any town. The Simcoe Reformer toâ€"day stands as high as it ever did in public regard. Wellâ€"edited, bright, newsy, upâ€"toâ€"date and publicâ€"spirited, to wish The Reformer well is to express good wishes for Simcoe, Norfolk and a wider district. How closely the story of the progress of a néwspaper is woven with the life of the town is suggested by an article in last week‘s Reformer by Henry Johnson, the oldest living exâ€"member of The Reformer staff, now Deputyâ€"Registrar of Norfolk. In graphic way he outlines the progress of Simcoe in the past 65 years. The newspaper and the community have gone ahead together. He looks back with affectionate memory and forward with confident hope. Only in one particular does he sigh for older days. He sees in the a notable line of outstanding citizens known beyond the bounds of the town itself. In this connection it is interâ€" esting to note that again The Reformer had its quota of outstanding citizens:â€"Dr. Wm. H. Oliver, Hon. M. H. Foley, and Hal. B. Donly (for fortyâ€"one years editor of The Reâ€" former) and many others of lesser mark. The story of the newspaper is the story of the community. P P PP P ~AP Li t DP D PWP PP â€"ADP L BP P P P C L L P P L PPA â€"AL P '0 There are cynical newspapermen who pretend to believe that the people in general are fickle, ungrateful and forgetâ€" ful. Yet every successful newspaper is a living denial of any such opinion. Probably this fact would be more apparent were the better newspapers a little less modest about their own excéellence. The cheap and flamboyant newspapers do not hesitate to unduly extol their own alleged excellences. The paper that is really worthy is more inclined to let its progress speftk for itself. A good example of the latter type of newspaper is The Simcoe Reformer, published for the past threeâ€"quarters of a century at Simcoe, Ontario. The Reformer last week completed seventyâ€"five years of service tq the town of Simcoe and the county of Norfolk, and obâ€" served the occasion by the publication of a special issue of twentyâ€"two pages. This special edition mentions, but does not overâ€"emphasize, the value to the community of a newsâ€" paper like The Reformer. It is by this value that The Reâ€" former has attained its notable age and success. The public is not likely to forget the service of The Reformer when the community sees the fact and the effect of that service from week to week. Only two other businesses in Simcoe are clder than The Reformer. Neither of them have shown the remarkable growth and expansion achieved by The Reformer. ’Mm“m 'WNWW THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARTIO For instance, is it the system said to prevail in the Maritimes that the docâ€" tor would order.

While there are still a number of clouds on the business horizon, notably the low price of wheat and the partial crop failure, business throughout Canada has shown a definite and, in a number of indusâ€" tries, a marked improvement, and my confidence in a continued upward trend is strengthened by the background of what seems to be a definite worldâ€"wide recovery. It would be foolish to miniâ€" mize the seriousness and extent of the problems still facing us, but the eviâ€" dence of improvement will enable us to tackle these with greater heart and spirit.

The | Literary Digest, in referring to the apâ€" peal of President Roosevelt, made exâ€" temporaneously on theâ€" lawn of the White House, for the mobilization of all charity organizations, pictured fAfâ€" teen million people coming hungry to the Government for food. Doubtless the President‘s appeal has moved the nation as it has never before been movâ€" ed, and although there are those who | make light of the NRA, this address of ter carefully will come to the concluâ€" sion that during the past three years in Canada all governments, municipal, provincial and Dominion, have been cursed frequently and often. It is true enotugh that criticism is necessary, even helpful, but there is also the danger that a certain class of agitators and men of illâ€"will have been allowed tow much latitude and approval. While it is true that there has naturally been much to criticize, it is equally true that there have been many things to praise.
