Leaving British newspapers to quote the facts in the case in regard to the Old Country, it is not out of place to state that there is no imprisonment for debt in Canada. It may be admitted that there are cases where people in Canada are in jail, at least indirectly, "because of failure to meet their pecuniary obligations." In Canada the procedure is to sue for debts in the courts. After careful conâ€" sideration of the case the judge often rules that the debtor pay so much a week or a month on the debt he has contracted. In case it is shown that this order to pay has been disregarded, the debtor is very liable to be committed to jail. What else is there to do. Before the judge makes any order to pay, all the circumstances and conditions are very closely examined. Few, if any, jJudges sugâ€" gest the payment of any unreasonable amount. The amount of money to be paid on a debt is always adjusted to meet the needs of the case. If the debtor does not pay, it is not because he cannot, but because he desires to evade or defraud. Surely reasonable people will agree that if he will not attempt to deal fairly, that measures should be taken to enforce the law. If this attitude is not taken how can any semblance of respect for the law be maintained? There are some who hold that committal to jail for contempt of court in refusing to obey the judge‘s order in regard to payment of debts is equivalent to imprisonment for debt. It would be interesting to know what method may be suggested to avoid such alleged "imprisonment for debt" without shattering the whole system of trade and business between individuals. If those with a tendency to fraud or neglect of responsiâ€" bilities are to go unchecked the whole system of good faith between debtor and creditor is at an end and lending must cease as a matter of course. People who are ready to deplore "imprisonment for debt" should suggest their remedy for the matter. Very often the people who condemn imprisonâ€" ment for debt are the same ones who allege that there is discrimination between rich and poor simply because one man is able to pay a fine, while another is unable or unwilling to meet this obligaâ€" tion and so is compelled to serve the alternate term in prison. Those who feature this talk of the poor man going to jail and the rich man escaping with a fine, should indicate what cure they would offer if they see injustice in the proceedings. Would they abolish fines altogether, and require all to go to jail when convicted! Or would they fine all and let those unable to pay the fine escape scot free? Of course, the truth is that some of the people who bring up these questions are so conâ€" stituted that what they really desire seems to be that the wellâ€"toâ€"do should be "soaked," while the poor person should not be penalized in any way. Of course, such an attitude is neither fair, reasonâ€" able nor practical. The latest newspaper to refer to this alleged imprisonment for debt is The Quebec Chronicleâ€" Telegraph. This Quebec paper says that although Charles Dickens was supposed to have induced the passing of laws that abolished imprisonment for debt, there are about 20,000 people at present in British prisons because of failure to meet pecuniâ€" ary obligations. The Quebec Chronicleâ€"Teleâ€" graph does not say that similar conditions obtain in Canada, but that is the inference. The cases at Montreal last week are typical of the tactics that may be expected from those in the white slave Wraffic. They also show very clearly the full justification for the attitude of the Timâ€" Every once in a while some newspaper brings up the battle fought by Charles Dickens against the debtors‘ prisons in the Old Country, and then makes the suggestion that despite the fact that the writings of the great novelist were supposed to have resuited in such changes of the law as to make imprisonment for debt impossible, there are still cases where men are kept in jail because of debts unpaid. There is no proper foundation for such suggestions, but why spoil a good story by saying so?

At the present time there is another influx of transients into the town of Timmins. These tranâ€" sients are coming from all quarters of the globe. Timmins has its own unemployed to care for. There are still many here with little hope for steady employment. It is not reasonable nor fair to expect the transient to find work here. Literâ€" ally, for years The Advance has been urging that the transients be kept away from Timmins. This is not urged on selfish grounds, but as a matter of selfâ€"preservation. With the best will in the world, Timmins certainly can not look after all the unâ€" employed of all the rest of the world. Already Timmins has absorbed literally thousands from outside places. The people in Timmins who pay the taxes feel the pinch of the periodic influx of transients. There are, indeed, hundreds here who find it more than difficult to meet tax bills and the other costs incidental to these times. Timmins has done more than bear its share of the burden of others. There is a point beyond which it is worse thanmr folly to attempt to go. Recently there is evidence to show that the comâ€" munists are encouraging the transient unemâ€" ployed to come to Timmins. Their hope is that the result in some way or another may cause some troubleâ€"any kind of trouble. Then many in the Ssouth enthusiastically recommend transients to try the North. The main hope in this is that the South may be rid of some of its problem. Thoughtâ€" less boosting of the supposed prosperity of the North is another factor in the situation.

It takes a lady to put these triflers in the shade. Ida Eigler a cold country in the winter time and the tranâ€" sients will be the better in the climate to which they are accustomed. Further, the problem of the unemployed stands the better chance of solution if the unemployed remain where they are known and where the worthiness of those asking relief may be known. In curbing the influx of transients into the North, the T. N. O. Railway has given excellent assistance in past years. Despite the fact that an election is in progress, the same coâ€"operation should be shown now. The interests of the counâ€" try and its people are surely more important than the chance of political criticism. In Timmins, it should be emphasized, there is not enough work for those already here. Any further influx of tranâ€" sients will mean only that they will be added burâ€" dens here or else that they will take the work from others who will be forced to continue on relief. The T. N. 0. Railway authorities have an exâ€" cellent opportunity to coâ€"operate with local offiâ€" cials in the matter of guarding the North from an undue influx of unemployed. There is room to doubt whether or not the Monâ€" treal girl mentioned in the despatches was bound for Timmins. It is more likely that the destinaâ€" tion was near Timmins, but beyond the limits in which the Timmins police are paid to work. Even though this traffic is wholly driven from the town limits the matter still has a vital interest for Timmins and all the other communities of the North. Kirkland Lake, Cochrane, Ansonville and other towns of the North suffer from this conâ€" temptible traffic. It would be a good thing if still closer coâ€"operation could be effected between the towns of the North and the Montreal police so that the whole evil might be treated at its very source. Careful questioning and investigation at Montreal would no doubt reveal the destination planned for the girls recruited in Montreal. Simâ€" ultaneous arrests in Montreal and in the North would convince the inhuman and grasping crimâ€" inals engaged in this vile traffic that it is all conâ€" trary to the principles and ideals of the Canadian people. The average man has everything to lose and nothing to gain from this traffic. He owes it to himself, to the community, to the North, to coâ€" operate with the authorities in crushing this evil and immoral business. mins policte Ior in breaking up making a busine the police here mum. mt se e l l e ~GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER | THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO A ‘"‘Different" Wage Case Another wage case involved two young men who had been working at a local garage. The proprietors admitâ€" ted that both had been around the shop, but denied that there had ever been any question raised of payment. One had offered to come to "learn the trade," and had disappeareq the mornâ€" ing after he had been placed on the payroll. The other had had his board and lodging free, a considerable amount of work gone on a truck and trailer. In fact, the proprietors of the garage figured, the complainant owed them money instead of the other way about. A third wage case was settled in court by payment without costs. Cases Re Selling After Hours Charges against Fred Trumble and George Boychuk of selling food on Sunâ€" day, contrary to a town byâ€"law, were adjourned two weeks, until October 1. Frank Mikeli paid $10 angq costs for reckless driving. He had come around a corner too quickly and his car had mounted a sidewalk, endangering the pedestrians. Friends to Ssend Man Home Friends of a local man, suspected of being insane, are attempting to raise enough money to send him back to the Olq Country, the magistrate was told. Doctors had not been able to decide whether or not the man was mentally deranged, though they agreed that he was not very dangerous. Should the money be raised within a week and the man on his way home, the case will not be pressed. Odqg Way of Hiring Man Wage payment claims against a loâ€" cal "contractor" revealed a strange method of doing business. Three workâ€" men claimed they were owed amounts varying from $7.70 to $9.90. The man charged said he had given them all orâ€" ders for payment on the man for whom the job was being done. His system, he said, was that he id not pay his workmen, but merely handed them over to the man for whom the job was being done. In this case, the owner had refused to pay, claiming that he had already paid $119 on a $120 job. The magistrate warned him that if the men wern‘t all paid by next week, a distress warrant would be issued and collection forced in that way. ‘"You get that paid," he was instructed. A bench warrant was issued for the arrest of Samuel Arquete, charged with fighting on the street. In a similar charge, a Timmins man will pay $5 angq costs next week. He didn‘t have the money just then, he told the magisâ€" trate. "If he doesn‘t pay me I can‘t pay the men," the contractor complained. One driver paid $10 and costs for not having an operator‘s permit. Edward Sullivan pleaded guilty to being a second offence drunk and will go to jail for 30 days if he fails to raise a $50 fine. Arthur Lemay pleaded guilty to beâ€" ing drunk twice, and will also go to Jail in lieu of paying a fine. Four first offence drunks paid the usual $10 and costs. Two citizens paid $2 and costs under town byâ€"laws. Two Men Committed for Trial on Tuesday the coat the cha: was told Presidentâ€"Austin Neame Becretaryâ€"Treasurerâ€"W . D. Forrester P.O,.
