If they Other back. Probably the attitude here and elsewhere to foreigners who are "against the government" may be summed up as follows:â€" Hon.

Indeed, in some quarters not so many years ago that the Hydro Electric they are actually encouraged to rail against the Commission absolutely refused to consider entry government.

Perhaps, it is not surâ€" prising that with so many newâ€"fangled ailments in the world, and so many specialists making money as a consequence, that political babies should suffer from modern tendencies. But many will sigh for the good old days when things were! simpler, when it didn‘t cost so much to suffer, and when there were only a couple of political babies, | and you knew which was right and which was wrong by the colour of their dear little red faces, or the blue veins that showed here and there. There is reason, however, to suspect that they are not born so. Most Canadian children are still born healthy and happy. But life takes its toll. A dear little Conservative baby gets the mumps$ and grows up to be a mugwump. Or a sweet little Liberal baby contracts the hives and suffers all its life from that Red tinge. Disappointment in love also leaves its mark. Hon. Mr. Stevens would have loved to be leader of a party, and when the one party jilted him, the other party caught him on the rebound. Poor baby! There is no inoculation against the bite of the getâ€"somethingâ€"forâ€"nothing bug, and so when chain letters failed to make them rich, the babies developed Social Credit, which is not likely to prove much credit to anybody. Warts on the hands won‘t hurt a baby much, but when the warts get on the liver, look out for the Communist itch. If in old days the dear little Conservatives and the dear little Liberals sometimes were switched in their cradles, then the political babies of toâ€"day must be fostered in electric churns. At any rate they are most sadly mixed and muddled politically, There are little Conservatives, little Stevens Conâ€" servatives, little Church Conservatives, little Libâ€" erals, little Hepburn Liberals, little C.C.FP.‘ers, little Nationalists, little Social Creditors, little Farmites, little Progressives, little Independants, and even little Communists. There may be those who think that times are surely changed, and that Canadian babies are no longer born little Conservatives or little Liberalis, but have almost as many varieties as a brand of pickles that was famous when it advertised. Peoâ€" ple who think thus may be right, or they may be wrong. It is hard to tell these days. In the debate of the question there are some things worth considering. Surely it is a fact that after Sir John A. Macdonald died the most of the babies born in Quebec were good little Liberals, while the babies born in Ontario had the Conseryvâ€" ative mark upon their brows. The answer to any who bring forward the theory that good little Conâ€" servatives couldn‘t vote for thirty years for Hon. Oliver Mowat, the prize Liberal baby of his time, is that Hon. Oliver was a born Conservative baby and there must have been a switch in his cradle, but you couldn‘t fool all the little Conservative babies by anything like that.

Timmins, Ont., Monday, August 26th, 1935 Che Yorrmpine Advanee BP ib P P P PAAA CAAA â€"AL L LAAA CA# o s VC L ~AP SA m itries rave back, and simply rave, Canada let‘s them rave | held‘a demonstra Uniteg Statesâ€"$83.00 Per Yeatr ship the offenders Before the soâ€"called "hunger marchers‘" started on their sad march back home from Ottawa, they held+a demonstration, of course. â€" And at this demonstration they introduced a new touch for the red clement in this country. The great idea "There are no funds avail of the lignite deposits a stand of the Ontario goyv of thing to be expected i as mean thieves as the world contains, for they steal that which can not be replaced by mere money. They are vandals as well as thieves, desâ€" troyers of happiness as well as robbers. Last week some gardens in the Hollinger townâ€" site were entered and robbed. The loss of the fowers and vegetables, serious as that was to the owners, was not as discouraging as the damage inflicted by the mean robbers. Only those who give their time, their money, their effort and their heart, to the care and watching of a garden know the real value of the flowers and vegetables that may be grown. The market value of such proâ€" duce is only a very small part of the real value to the owners. Those who steal from gardens may not realize it, but the truth is that they are about } GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER There are few things that are so bad that they do not hold some comfort. The election in Alâ€" berta, for instance! That is one election that canâ€" not be used as showing "the swing all over Canada to Liberalism." Hon. Mr. Stevens, who has promised nearly everyâ€" thing that it is possible to promise, will likely find that to promise each and every citizen in Canada $25.00 a month will rouse more question than supâ€" port. Should Hon. H. H. Stevens accept the plan of Mr Aberhart to join with the latter for purposes of the Dominion election, the people of Ontario will no doubt hear much of the Social Credit scheme. They will learn that it is political "daylight sayvâ€" ing." The Advance, however, doubts that Ontarico people are as credulous as those of Alberta, and No doubt the people of Alberta understand the situation fully, but in Ontario there is a tendency to enquire what it is all about. In a word, Mr Aberhart promised when elected to institute a form of what he termed "Social Credit", the main feature of which is the provision that every adult in the province will receive a bonus of $25.00 pe! month. To the suggestion that this would entail a yearly expenditure of $120,000,000, the Aberhart reply was that such an amount would be readily available. Each business, profession, industry and calling would be required to contribute undet the plan so that money would be available for the dividends paid out to individuals. These busiâ€" nesses, industries and callings, however, would not be "taxed" the amount required, Mr. Aberhart assured them, as for their contributions they would receive an equal value of "scerip," or "credit", that could be used for the payment of labour and fotr all debts payable in Alberta. The average man will question the possibility of any such plan being practical or workable, but in this credulous age it is possible to convince people of the truth of alâ€" most anything they wish to believe,â€"as witness the success of Ponzi, chain letter rackets, the Spanish prisoner game, and other similar schemes. In view of the fact that Mr. Wm. Aberhart, leadâ€" er of the Social Credit party that swept the proâ€" vince of Alberta in the provincial elections there last week, plans to join up with Hon. H. H. Stevens for the Dominion election campaign, the matter of Alberta‘s Social Credit party platform is one of special interest to Ontario people. The people in this province have given little attention to the Alâ€" berta provincial election contest. The newspapers of Alberta did not appear to give any hint of the chance of the Sbcial Credit party winning so notâ€" able a victory. Now, it is learned that the popuâ€" larity of the Social Credit plan is easy to explain Suffering severely for some years from the depresâ€" sion, the people of Alberta were no doubt easy prey for the soothsayers The recent addition of thousands of new citizens, apparently naturalized for the occasion, did not make the task of winning the election any more difficult. If they go further than talk, Canada shoots them back to their homes. Other countries shoot them where they are. VANCE, TTIMMTNS8, ONTARIO A number of young men in town are being asked to pay poll tax this year for the first time. All these young men are earning a fair living, are of the full age of 21 years, and paying no other tax for the benefits of the town. *‘"‘Ifiis interesting to A certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper says‘ of Nationsâ€" that politicians toâ€"day do not use the same sort| of abusive personalities against their Opponents| Statisticallyâ€"minded gentlemen do not get the that the political gentlemen of fifty years ago}| respect that is their due.

Ifis interesting tol the votes is to paint a different picture. #Â¥ KÂ¥ * KÂ¥ was to burn in effigy the three men who had most displeased themâ€"Premier Bennett, Premier Hepâ€" burn and Mayor Nolan, of Ottawa. The effigies were made of rags, straw, paper and wood. There was a gallows built on which to hang the three figures for the burning. In this silly symoblic way the "hunger marchers‘" hoped to relieve their feelings and injure their enemies. The plan work â€" ed out all right, with the exception of the efligy of Premier Bennett. They were ynable to burn that efigy. It simply wouldn‘t burn. There seemed no reason why it wouldn‘t burn any more than the others. But the fact remains:â€"it wouldn‘t burn No doubt these "hunger marchers‘" are superstiâ€" tious as well as silly. The incident should make a lasting impression upon them. They cannot "burn down‘""‘ Premier Bennett. The incident may prove to be truly symbolic. Some.of those who expect to destroy every vestige of Premier Bennett and his work, may find after the election that he simply will not burn, and that he will come through the fire unharmed. To the above it may be added that a despatch from New Liskeard last week referred to the awarding of the contract for poles ror the 160â€"mile stretch of new wire which the C.P.R. proposes to string as on as possible. The line will follow the highway from Ville Marie to Rouyn, with connection to the Ontario side at Arntfie‘d and North Temiskaming, Quebec. The "The building of these lines will proâ€" vide communication services along the highways where none are now availâ€" able, and the project is being looked upon with utmost favour by residents within the area. ‘"The company‘s short wave wireless connection to New Liskeard is of a permanent nature providing an effiâ€" client and expeditious service to the area. It is qot the company‘s intention to build poles and wires to New Lisâ€" keard. The company has not under consideration at present the further of its pole and wire lines in Northern Ontario." "The Canadian Pacific is undertaking to extend its pole and wire lines from Ville Marie, on the east side of Lake Temiskaming, to Rouyn, Noranda and Kirkland Lake, to protect its telegraph business, which it has built up and has spent considerable capital sums to proâ€" tect over a period of 30 years; and to provide transmission facilities for the radio broadcast programmes of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commisâ€" sion. wave wireless service into Kirkland Lake, which was a temporary expeâ€" dient, will be discontinued. ‘"‘The copper wires for this project will be of a very heavy gauge, thereâ€" by providing ideal transmission quality for radio broadcasting programm®es, and general communications business. "It is expected that the lines will be completed and ready for service about October, after which the present shortâ€" its share of Northern telegraph busiâ€" ness.

A children‘s choir organized by him won high honours in the West, as did also the Philharmonic Society, of which he was conductor. Mr. Hale, who knows the Porcupine district well ffom his residence here some years ago, believes that there is ample talent of superior kind here for a Philharâ€" monic Socity.
