(By J. V. McArco) We do not at the moment recall any eminent British statesman who first attracted attention as a pursuer of evilâ€" doers. Nor, as a matter of fact, is that a wellâ€"known route to political promoâ€" tion in Canada. Our prosecuting attorâ€" neys, if they do not revert to private practice, may become judges. _ Once every ten years or so one of them may become attorneyâ€"general. â€" The most eminent of them all, B. B. Osler, just continued as a lawyer, leaving otheéer ecminences to his brothers, one of whom entered the Dominion Parliament withâ€" out creating any sensation at all, except in a negative sense. The heads of our police departments continue as heads until they arse demoted or retired on pension, whereupon they are as likely as not to become heads of other police departments and qualify for a double pension. They are far more likely at any given moment of their career to be found under a shower of criticism than basking in public It is incredible that one of them should beâ€" come the most influential civil servaut in the Dominion as J. Edgar Hoover has become in the United States. Nothing but his name of i11 omen stands in his way to the presidency. Dewcy and Stark In the United States the general idea is that if a man shows himself{ to be a successful prosecutor of criminals he is obvicously a misfit where he is and ouglit to become governor, senator or even president. The man nmost frequently named as the probable choice of the Republicans for the presidential nomiâ€" nation in 1940 is Thomas Dewey, disâ€" trict attorney of Naw York. Nobody kncows what his views ars on problems, and the prospect that he has had any spare time to study them, let alone come to any satisfactory conâ€" clusions on them, is negligible, But he has broken up some notorious rackets and sent some influential criminals to prison. He, therefore, becomes a naâ€" tural. In the past few weeks the Doâ€" mocrat who is being most generally considered a natural to oppose him is Governor Stark of Missouri, whost chief claim to political advancement is found in the fact that he has broken up the vice ring of Kansas City and destroyed the power of Tom Pendenzast (no reclation to Frank Prendergast, it | is perhaps unnecessary to say). This } was a feat, for Pendergast was perhaps the most Tammanylike of Deâ€" mocratic bosscs outside of New York, and almost the last of the speci¢s out of penitentiary. Reed, Whitman and Hughes We note that it was in the samt city some thirtyâ€"odd years ago that a ‘district attorney named James Reed prosecuted 287 cases and got 285 conâ€" victions. He thus became an outstandâ€" ing politician and later was elected to the United States Senate, where he proved to be one of its most influential â€" members. Charles S. Whitman was «listrict attorney of New York ana achieved fame by his successful proseâ€" cution of Lieutenant Becker and his assozciates in the murder of Rosenthal. This earned him the governorship; and one term was ecnough to earn him a wellâ€"merited retirement to private life. It was Charles Evans Hughes‘ inâ€" vestigation of the great insurance comâ€" panies, which was popularly regarded as a war upon malefactors of croat wealth, which brought him into public notice and led to his election as goverâ€" nor of the state. This became a springâ€" board to a scat on the United States Supreme Court, and later to the Reâ€" ublican presidential nomination. When defeated ho skipped nimbly back to the Supreme Court as Chicf Justice, Ccleâ€" brity as a prosccutor did if all. Rooscvelt and Cleveland Theodore was not, wc' think, a lJawyer, but neverthcless if. there had been no crime in New Yorkl City ho might never have been heard of.

It was at this time that the invaluable nowspaper cartoonâ€" dsts first discovered him and made his thicklensed spectacles famous. He owed much to erotic and bored policeâ€" men,. Before him Governer Cleveland had been a district attorney, thu4 riyeting public attention on him in Bufâ€" falo. < The good opinion formed of hiun thus carly was strengtherned when as shoriff he strangled a murdorer with his own hands, the cfficial hangman beinx abscnt. He became gcvernor of the state and later President of the United States. Obvicusly the path to glory in the United States leads from thieves‘ kitchen to the guvernatorial mansicn or even to the White House. Stark Has the Pedigree Governor Stark, however, has come this far y another route. He has the right kind of ancestry, one of his foreâ€" fathers having General John Stark, a revolutionary general. He is one of a long line of successful nursâ€" erymen, and is probably the largest commercial apple grower in the United States. He graduated from Annapolis and later served as a major in the Great War. He entered politics for the purpose, it was said, of getting rid of some of the vicious politicians im Missouri, and his ffrst bid for office was for the governorship. He travelled about the state telling the voters how eccrrupt their servants were, and though Pendergast at first opposed him he was obliged later to support him. . Later Star broke with Pendergast and lateor still gave the information which led to his indictment by the Fedcral Govâ€" ernment as an income tax dodger. Coljalt, May 4â€"(Special to The Aaâ€" vance)â€"Civic rulers here gave Dayâ€" light Saving a cool recoption when the subject was broached at the May meetâ€" ing of the town council on Monday eveâ€" ning, althouwh there were hints the matter might be reconsiGered in anâ€" other light if the neighbouring towns were inclined to favour the idga. No action was taken on the question on Monday, a letter from the Kiwanis Club in which members of that organization hbad put themselves cn record as apâ€" proving the scheme, being filed. "Just forget it," observed Councillor A. P. Landry, after the letter had been read by town clerk Harrington. Counâ€" cillor Alf Williams against the idea, he said, with Counâ€" gillors Sopha and M‘Donald apparâ€" ently leaning that way also, while Mayor Rowdon enquired what New Liskeard and Hailleybury were doin: and was told service clubs in those towns were advancing the idea there. Alonzo Fortin, president of the baseâ€" ball club, put in a word in favour of fast time, which he said was "most deâ€" sirable." Coleman township is desircus of 1câ€" vising the proportion of maintaining the union public school section here, but council held that it was too late to discuss that question for this year, as tax rates for the town already had been struck and on the basis of the present agreement of two to one, with Cobait paying the larger share. The township‘s letter intimated the council there â€"wantâ€" ed a change made to two and a half to cne. It is probable there will be a discussion on equalization of school rateés later on, and no particular opinâ€" ion was cxpressed one way or another on the sthject on Monday.
