The concluding suggestion of "The Varsity" is the doubleâ€" edged one that it is really none of the business of the people i GRAVEE Al up in the North as to what may be happening at Toronto university, and that The Advance might be better occupied ‘seeing to the cleaning up of the town of Timmins. It is When a man wan very much the business of all the people of the province as| doesn‘t call in a wre to the conduct of the University and its students.

All talk of "freedom" and "truth" is but so much hypocrisy in‘ _ The Ottawa Jour! such a case. The test is that they would only have to make] [ossly irritated by wC it known that they would teach disloyalty and agnosticism t0o| being fiung at the "An Echo from the North" is the title of an editorial artiâ€" cle in the issue. of October 18th of "The Varsity," a little paper with a lot of editors, a copy of the paper having been sent to The Advance last week, and a sample of one of the editors having been sent to Timmins last summer. ‘"The Varsity‘"‘ seems to be published by the University of Toronto, though just why depunent sayeth not. According to its own editorial masthead this little paper has twentyâ€"three editors and assistant editors, which seems to be enough, or too much, or what have you! being two and a half editors for each column of reading matter, with two boys left over to write the headings. Perhaps, in the course of their more or less diligent studies the lads may have read the proverb about many heads being better than one, even if some are cabâ€" bage heads, and taken this old saying in connection with Mark Twain‘s famous dictum that "a cauliflower is but a cabbage with a college education." And now, maybe those cauliflower ears may be red! Taking the incident of a college student, the son of a professor, publicly referring to an honourable and upright public cfficial as a liar, and coupling this with the common reports of atheism and disloyalty being instilled into the fallow and callow minds of the students at the university, The Advance two weeks ago suggested that perhaps The ‘Tcoronto Globe might be more usefully employed in seeking an investigation into the University of Toronto rather than continuing its bitter cry for an enquiry into the penitenâ€" tiaries of ,Canada. The Advance thought, and still thinks, that it wotild be of greater service to this country to be sure that the young minds of the youth of the country are not being contaminated, than even to be certain that thugs and murderers have their cigarette papers. "The Varsity‘"‘ makes no effort to deny that atheism and dislovalty are more or less openly encouraged in the univerâ€" sity. Instead "The Varsity" proceeds to demolish The Adâ€" vance in one fearsome editorial. The Advance is described as "a weekly newspaper with a peeve against Toronto, or anything associated with the name Toronto, except, perhaps The Mail and Empire, which it quotes frequently and freely." In answer it may be said that an undergraduate of the University of Toronto would likely call that suggestion by a nasty name. The Advance lacking the advantages of Toronto University training must say that the columns of this paper prove that Toronto is much admired here. The Advance respects three of Toâ€" ronto‘s dailies, The Globe, The Mail and Empire and The Telegram. The province has reason to be proud of such newspapers. The Advance admires things in Toronto and never hesitates to say soâ€" the Toronto Fair, and the Toronto fair, the Toronto police force and its couragsous chief, the Toronto spirit of enterprise, and the Toronto brand of genâ€" erosity to all gocd causes. "The Varsity" says that "The Advance believes in freedom of speech only in its own columné;' it would restrict the rights of all others." Again, it is not so! The Advance holds strongly to its opinions, but this does not mean disâ€" regard for the rights of other opinions. As a matter of fact the record of tolerance is open for all to read. The Advance would never dream of stealing copies of another newspaper whose views it did not like and then burn the issue in a public park. Yet that has been done, as "The Varsity‘" may know well enough. Neither does The Advance depend, as ‘"The Varsity" sugâ€" gests, upon newspaper reports as to the belief in samples of rowdyism and atheism and discontent among the students of the University of Toronto. It has the word of students of the university itselfâ€"for whatever that may be worth. Still more impressive, it has the opinion of what The Varsity calls a "few graduates of the selfâ€"same university, men who have somehow escaped untouched from our vile halls," men, it may be added, who seem to grieve because young men toâ€"day seem to be subjected to evil influences and to be defrauded of the true teaching that makes for better men and more loyal citizens. Moreover, The Advance has seen too many students of divinity leave the university with faith shattered and needing years outside before the religion of their fathers is their own again.

But it may e said that "The Varsity" either through malice or misinâ€" rmation has slandered Timmins. This town is not noted or disrespect of law and order. It is not overâ€"run with lind pigs. Gambling is not openly encouraged. The town ; probably the most orderly and lawâ€"abiding of any of the iining towns in existence..

It will be recalled ! that months ago there were suggestions that the police were | making no effort to clear out a number of blindpigs here. ‘ Council and police alike were subjected to considerable critiâ€" ‘ cism.

It may be remarked on the side that even ! if the town had a police magistrate of its own as suggested ! in 1926, evidence would still be necessary for convictions. The ’apparent inactivity of the police resulted in over twenty | being convicted of violation of the liquor laws. It was eviâ€" dent then who were honest in their criticism of the police. Those who desired only a good, clean town expressed approâ€" | val of the police. Those concerned with petty municipal politics and those who can never see any good in those who simply try to do their duty, joined the blindpiggers and their ! friends in condemnation of the police. Their methods were wrong; thehould have done this, that or the other. Noâ€" thing but criticism, nagging and destructive, Compared to other town Timmins stands high in law and order, not only as a mining town, but also when placed alongâ€" side of similar towns, such as Welland, Oshawa, Windsor, in the South.

Word from Toronto last week told of the appointment of Assistant Inspector of Detectives, John Chisholm, to the position of inspector of detectives for the city force. This was at the recomâ€" mendation of the chief constable, Gen. Draper, and was concurred in by all the police commissioners with the ex= ception of Mayor Stewart. Inspector Chisholm has an enviable record both for integrity and ability and no doubt will carry on the good work of the Toronto detective force with credit,. to himself and value to the city. In tHé 1ecent, robbery of«~ Halperin‘s" jewelry store, the robbers being traced to Toâ€" ronto, Timmins had opportunity for touch with Inspector Chisholm, and the good words said about him by those concerned in Timmins show that he is active, able and courteous, and taking his profession seriously he gives the best that is in him and that best is unusually gcood. awbled ‘ve 1500 me ada is manufac Shops by disab. the number em Dominion is on cwn story that th: fied that the effor will wear a popy other side is the sage it portray and diec vain. ..‘ is all th active, al his profe best that unusually Coroner‘s Jury Says Mine in Bucke Reasonably Safe JOHN CHISHOLM APPOINTED CHIEF DETECTIVE, TORONTO Tht @ibl pet ind 16 in 212y iT lande i@tion l ld by eca, t ar, to have t, thus crea r market ne itable reosul laurel ind . \th du r1lm New Lisk ‘‘Conditic naving clim had heard eonard., stil becaust d for world Wear a pop e Canadian ntire British P i set by the I men _ makin by 1935.
