They had come to see a girl, they said, but inquiries proved that no girl of the name they gave lived in the house. The officer explained that the house had at one time been occupied by a bootlegger whose privileges had since been cancelled. "Go to bed after this," the magisâ€" trate advised ore of the men. ‘"That‘l he $2.00 and costs." Although both Constable Pat O‘Gorâ€" man and Sergeant Walker swore an accused was drunk, the man was disâ€" miissed, because he had asked for a caoctor and no one had been called. "You have to give him one when he asks. That‘s his right," the magistrate explained. Turning to the accused, he said: "You weren‘t sober when you were brought up ‘here the following inornirg.

Cochrane high school debating teams scored a double victory against Iroquois Palls high school Friday evening in the Norithern interscholastic debating conâ€" test when they were awarded the judges‘ decision at both Iroquois FPalls and Cozhrane. Representatives from the Cochrane sohcol who travelled to Iroquois Falls were Misses Agnes Johnston and Helene MacVicar who upheld the affirmative while Alan Cuthbert and Sidney Stopps gebated in the negative at Coohrane agairst Miss Peggy Butten and Jack Freeman, Iroquois Falls. The subject of debate was:; "Resolvâ€" ecd that political freedom depends more upcn the freedom of the press than upon any other agency," and the Cochâ€" rane teams received the decision by a small margin of points, which entitles them to compete against the Timmins Collegiate during April. An excellent consert was provided in Cozchrane by the high school pupils beâ€" fore and after the debate. The newly formed Glee Club under Miss Warrell rendered several fine selections, includâ€" ing "O, Canada," "The British Grenaâ€" aiers," and "Santa Lencha," while the school orchestra also added to the enâ€" teriainment. A short play was staged by pupils of the second form entitled "Sauce for the Goslings," in which the cast showed splend‘d talent. Debate judges in Cochrane were Mrs. N. R. McLeod and J. E. Horton and E. Fairman. es The recent sandstorms experienced in the vicinity of Ccchrane have reâ€" ceived the attenticgn of the Meteoroloâ€" gical Department and they have proâ€" duced a theory that the sand dust was blown by a high wind from Kansas or some adjacent state.

They frequently give new viewpoints and touch on new centres of interest. The following letâ€" ter from a recent issue of The Globe and Mail is outstanding on account of the striking phrases it contains. , To the Editor of The Globe and Mail: A word of approval and appreâ€" ciation of and thanks for your excelâ€" lent editorial "Where the Responsibiliâ€" ty?" Sir Edward Beatty has said a needed and timely thing; your editorâ€" ial gives it the requisite emphasis. It took honesty and courage on Sir Edâ€" ward‘s part to speak so plainly as he did before the audiences he addressed, doubtless keyed up for a different kind of "message." He had practically noâ€" thing to gain, but rather, something to lose in treatment of such a subject at such a time, before such a gatherâ€" ing. We allâ€"his audience includedâ€" cwe him respect and even admirationâ€" need I add emulation?â€"for his frank coming to grips with what really is the heart of all this economic problem and its political and social byâ€" prod)uctsâ€" the responsibility of the individual citiâ€" zen, particularly of the privileged indiâ€" vidual citizen, to face up to facts squarely and to do his or her bit to remedy the situation. In the last analysis, all progress is just the product of realized and atâ€" cepted responsibility, issuing in inescapâ€" able, spontaneous initiative (whether it be right or expedient to do, suchâ€" andâ€"such, judge ye; but, as for us, we cannct but speak the things which we have seen and heard). A sense of responsibility forces a crisis; dominant, n:otivating forcesâ€"selfâ€"interest, publicâ€" ‘spintedne..sâ€"-do the rest.

D. J. Ashbury. (From Toronto Star? A report came out cf Timmins wme weeks ago that a band of "vigilanté had been formed there to combat the growth of disorderly houses and lawâ€" icssness, and that one place had been raided. Inquiry has since failed to disâ€" cilose the existence of such a body. Attorneyâ€"General Roebuck said that its activities, if any, had not been reportâ€" ed to him, ard added that he was surâ€" prised to hear the word "vigilante" in It is well that its use here «hould be: rare; that the illegal usurpation of the law‘s powers by organized bands of men, however well meaning, should be regarded as foreign to this province‘s ideas of right and justice. The organâ€" ization of vigilantes inevitably leads to hasty and unlawful actions in which the right of a respected person to fair trial is denied. Men are no longer presumed innozent until they are provâ€" en guilty. Passion takes the place of justice. Impetuous haste is substituted for judicial deliberation. _ It is all wrong and Ontario wants none of it. The courts are available for the prosecution of wrongâ€"doers. Private individuals, singly or in bands, must not substitute themselves for the courts. It is therefore refreshing to find the Timmins story denied.

Arbitration was in connection with claims totalling $210,000 by Philip Adams, operator of a tourist refreshâ€" ment and souvenir booth near the Daâ€" foe Hospital. Mr. Adams has claimed he will lose this amount in business over a 15â€"year period as a result of the expropriaticn which caused him to move his booth to the opposite side of the road from the hospital and in an eastâ€" erly direction. Hearing was also in respect to a claim by Alex Legros, with whom Mr. Adams entered into a conâ€" tract for exclusive business rights on five acres of his land for a period oi 10 years, with an option to renew the agreement for the following five years. His claim was not heard at the opening sessions last week.
