He spoke very| highly of himself, as he usually does. If he always} spoke as well of others as he does of himself, this! would be a nice world. However, the very apparent deep distrust which Councillor J. P. Bartleman| entertains in regard to the enterprise, ability,| morals and integrity of all others, naturally tends to question of his own claims. Were the general‘ public to accept at face value Councillor Bartle-f man‘s estimate of his own value and service to| the town, the public would fully justify any low| opinion he may hold of the intelligence of Lhe! electorate. The Advance has too much faith in! the good sense of the people of Timmins to believe:‘ that they will mistake "talking" for action, “nag-! ging" for "fighting in the people‘s interests," or| "quarrelsomeness" for progress.

The one fact necessary to remember in this connection is that Timmins has not had a single reduction that has not applied to every part of the power company‘s system. Indeed, some people may be tempted with some show of reason to claim that the sum and substance of Mr. Bartleman‘s recent efforts was to prevent Timmins from saving $40,000 a year in light rates. In any event, his ardent advocacy of the Hydro has turned out like his other brilliant plansâ€"exactly as previous and present councillors and others knew from experâ€" ience that they would. Then there is the Bartleâ€" man plan to collect more taxes from the mining industry.â€" It was useless to warn him that all this had been carefully studied as well as being the Timminsg, Ont., Monday, Nov. 11th, 1935 Che YVorrupines subject of an ready c ind munilcipalitie igreement between Unitég Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year overnment ive alâ€" lecting the proper share of taxes from the mines in the case of Teck township, which seems to be jdentical in cireumstances with Timmins. Of course, there will be legal bills to pay, and that will be that! For the present it is not necessary, perâ€" ‘haps, to itemize each policy in the platform of Councillor Bartleman in the past two years and | show how he has signally failed to get anywhere E for the public advantage. No doubt he will blame all this on the other councillors. He is an expert !at that. But it should be remembered than any | man either as mayor or member of council must be | able to work with the other representatives of the ‘~people. No man can hog all the glory and pass all ‘ the blame to others. For the office of mayor, esâ€" pecially it is necessary to have a man who can | work with others, and who is ready to admit that | all others are neither incompetent, not dishonest, | nor lacking in intelligence. The election campaign may last oniy a short time, but the people have to live with themselves the year round. The men who are able to accomâ€" plish things for the public benefit are those who are able to work with others. In the list of those mentioned for the mayoralty and for the coming council there are several whose records prove that they will serve the town ably and kindly. Attention should be centred on this type of candiâ€" date, rather than on those who make claims that none could accomplish in actual life. Recently The North Bay Nugget has been comâ€" piling a list of all the fatal accidents in the North Land. In its issue last Friday, The Nugget noted that no less than 16 lives had been lost in the North in the past six weeks through automobile accidents, most of which would have been avoided had all the traffic rules and regulations been Oobâ€" served. The Nugget‘s list does not include all the fatal accidents through automobile accidents in the North, so it is safe to say that a toll of at least three lives a week is being given in the North alone to automobile accidents, that might be prevented. It is gratifying to not@that the North Bay newsâ€" paper is not content to state the sad facts. The Nugget follows up its facts with the lesson that something should be done to avoid a continuâ€" ance of these unnecessary accidents. The only remedy is the strict enforcement of the highway and traffic laws. These are designed solely for the public safety. It is doubtful if there is a single item in all the rules and regulations of the High-} way Traffic Act that does not have a direct or indirect bearing on public safety. The reason for the act is the protection of the public, including the motorist. The enforcement of the law would certainly reduce accidents to the minimum. ‘TAHIS hasâ€"been proven in Timmins, as well as in other places. Of course, as soon as attempt is made to enforce the law with any special strictness, there is sure to be objection from those who may be affected and who may not know or care about the possible serious results of what may seem like a minor infraction of the law. Because of this, the authorities and the public alike have to make their choiceâ€"decide whether they will act for public protection, irrespective of the irritation that may result to some, or whether they will conâ€" tinue to allow three deaths a week to be the unâ€" necessary toll paid to folly. A subscriber to The Advance sends in the quesâ€" tion:â€""What is the idea of trying to oust the prée; sent town clerk?" The answer is that a friend has been picked for the job. It is a pleasure to answer questions. j A Spanish prince visiting recently in Toronto was robbed of several thousand dollars‘ worth of jewels.
