Such an association‘ should live and thrive. It will contain in itself the very essence of successâ€"men from all over the earth pound togethner by the common bonds of advenâ€" ture, enterprise, sympathy and friendliness. It is not out of place to say a word of deep regret for the oldâ€"timers who have passed on. Each year takes its toll of these fine fellowsâ€"the men who made the North. It seems that the last two years the toll of death has been especially heavy, taking some of the noblest and the best. Other years will follow and the number of oldâ€"timers will decrease more and more. But in the meantime,. there reâ€" mains a goodly company of these happy pioneers. It was interesting to note on Saturday night how many of them were prominent in town and district and beyond, and how practically all of: them had made much measure of the success that is worth while., And those present at the gathering on Saturday were by no means all of the men and women who link the present with tlée ;omantic past. It will be well, indeed, to make the oldâ€"timers association as inclusive as possible,. Even though they may meet no more than once a year, it will be well for Porcupine, for the North, for the land at large, to keep the old days of Porcupine alive, so that the faith, the ideals, the effort that built cities in the wilderness may be the hopes, the cities in the wildernt standards of the futu: Among the hundreds present there were few who were not deeply touched by the memories that flooded round. "You old corrugated!" masked a feeling that men hesitate to display. In the roâ€" mantic tales of men, written pethg@ps by ~women; the oldâ€"timers would have embraced each otherâ€" shed a few tears. Instead they shook hands, joked, abused each other in humorous way! And let it go at that! But beneath it all theré was cfée;j'feelmgr true sympathy and high regardâ€"the genuine afâ€" fection that comes to men who have lived together, worked together. struggled together, made stanâ€" dards high as men. Those were the days! Happy days! Golden days! Never to return? But yes! They were back again on Saturday with a reality not to be denied. The struggles and the sorrows that had been shared were but a faint sad memory, but the happy days, the jolly times, the joys, they lived again on Saturâ€" day night. |Wmm~'~o~o «lt l BP couragement, of hope deferred â€"â€" memories of struggleâ€"â€"memories of days when the death of some one near and dear to one had been the grief of all.

Mention was made at the gathering on Saturâ€" day night of the romance of the early days of Porâ€" cupine. The greatest, the truest romance was in the fact of the friendliness, the helpfulness, the kindness, the generosity, the brotherliness of the days that were. The oldâ€"timers sang of Cobalt, "the best old town.‘" But they sang, too, of Porcupine, knowing that it was also a land of "best old towns" â€"Pottsville, Golden City, Aura Lake (Schumachâ€" er), South ‘Porcupine, Timmins.

Asked why he did not do his duty and serve the papers, his replyâ€"likely to become a classicâ€"was ;to the effect that there were "too many people around." Premier Hepburn has been criticized for the marshalling of a host of police officers ready ' for use in Oshawa in case of any disorder or deâ€" | fiance of law. It is argued that all this was unâ€" ! necessaryâ€"even provocativeâ€"and the inference is that there should have been no such show of force or threat of force until some overt act had been committed. A little consideration will show that to wait until there was some actual disorder would have been to tempt lawless action. Premier Hepâ€" burn did not intend that there should be "too many people around" for the enforcement of law and order. Muck is made of the fact that not a single With the settlement of the Oshawa strike a cerâ€" tain or uncertain Toronto newspaper should deâ€" clare a moratorium on its sitâ€"down strike against Premier Hepburn. Not only is the Oshaw Oshawa beverage rooms â€" "Hep! Hep! Hep strikers cheered strike. In addition to his service to the workers and to Canada, the determined and cofiurageous stand of Premier Hepburn has been a signal benefit to the United States. It has proved that authorities with the determination to uphold the law can triumph over the most formidable organization. The United States has been shown that it is not necessary to submit to lawless action. Even the American Pederation of Labour has been roused to renewed battle against its rebellious former members. The Oshawa strike has given another impressive proof of the axiom that the workers lose in pracâ€" tically every strike. Had the Oshawa strikers foiâ€" lowed the advice of Premier Hepburn the strike would have been over before it was well begun. Instead, they heeded the words of imported agiâ€" tators paid for their evil work. Hon. Mr. Hepburn has shown his regard for labour by interest and sympathetic legislation. The CI.O. men offered only eloquence and a few unredeemed promises. It is a study in psychology to figure out why the strikers preferred the opinion of a visiting pair of agitators. If Messrs. Thompson and Martin had presumed to dictate to the Oshawa men what style of hat they should wear they would have been lucky to escape insult. The strangers were heeded on a much more important matter. Summing the whole matter up, the strikers have lost money, self respect, public approval, not to mention the thousands of dollars of help that the agitators promised them but failed to deliver. So far as known the strikers have not been given a cent by their pretended friends. What have the strikers gained? Not a single thing that they could not have reccived without trouble or loss and without any strike, by accepting the proposition made by Preâ€" mier Hepburn at the beginning. The Oshawa case should be a lesson to the thoughtless and the reckâ€" less. the average thoughtful man there will be the thought that if there had been no police all ready to act there might have been a different story to | tell. The record of law defiance earned by thei CILO. was ample justification surely for Premier| Hepburn to assure law and order by being ready at | a moment‘s notice to quell any disorder that might arise. The record of the ‘C.IL.O. proves the lack of | regard for law and order held by that combination. The C.ILO. has openly boasted that it placed itself above the law in Michigan and other states. Préeâ€" mier Hepburn‘s service to Canada was that hel made it plain beyond question that no foreign orâ€" ’ | | ganization should defy law and order here.
