He was old and feeble and helpless. Of visible and invisible means of sup- port there were none. Friends were lacking. His body was racked by disease. . I. In the following article The North Bay Times tells a sad story, all too common in occurrence, and points a moral that should be read, marked and inwardly digested by all in this supposedly Christian country. The North Bay: Times "YS."-- James Williams is dead. The Worm out fetter that was his mortal frame lies today in a pauper's grave. James Williams had done no wring. to be old is not a crime. Ill-health and misfortune may lie just ahead of the, next turn in the road of (my hu- man life. In Cobalt, where formerly he drag- ged out his existence, he was picked up by the police and taken before the magistrate. The only charge was va, graney, from which there was no as! cape. James Williams had done no wrong, care of and the only place where he could lie-placed was in the District Jail, although he had committed no crime. But the oifieials of the law were helpless, because there is no Old Men's Home' for this section of the THE TRAGEDY or BEING OLD AND UNTORTUNATB wealthy province of Ontario. His term expired, he was sent back to Cobalt, but soon returned here. Less than a month ago he was taken ill and was removed to the hospital, where he died last Friday. This is not anisolated case. James Williams was but one pathetic figure in a pitiful processon of broken-down, friendless, hopeleSs human derelicts which passes before the magistrates of the (wintry in the fall of the year. They have nowhere to go, the munici- palities do not want them, they are too old or feeble to work. Under the prevailing system they are sent to prison, where they associate with of- tenders of all types, but where they are at least kept dry and warm, and where they, get sumeient food to sa- tisfy the demands of nature. ln'this section they are sent to a building that has been roundly condemned by dozens of Grand Jurors of ourfover- eign Lord the King and by the In- speetor of Prisons, and of whose con- dition the Provincial Secretary him- self expressed disgust recently. Gold coin and bullion and silver bars having an estimated value of $8, 000,000 were received from Germany, France, Turkey, Egypt and Latin American countries. The German Reiehsbank forwarded approximately $3,000,000 to the Fe- deral Reserve Bank, presumably in connection with further German re- pations obligations. Private cables from Berlin referred to impending additional shipments of gold in large volume from that centre to the United States for the same purpose, For twenty years governments of three political stripes at Toronto have been requested to provide some sort of' a shelter for the benefit of these aged unfortunates. An Old Men 's Home for the several northern districts, established at some quiet, convenient place, has been sug- gested. Here their declining days could he spent in peaceful surround- ings, they could "putter around" and be free from the restraint that must be associated with a prison, If such eristiirit would not‘he ne- cessary to send \sueh as James Willi.. ams, close to 70 years of age, friend- less, poverty stricken and disease torn yet without offence in the eyes of The Law, to the common jail of the land. EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS GOLD POR UNITED STATES b, TEE PoB0trPIm1 ADVANO‘B is the opinion of Frank C. Loring, mining engneer, who makes frequent trips to Great Britain, and says sever- al of the others provinces have out.. stripped Ontario in their display in the world's capital. Mr. Loring’s idea' is a practical one, and it would seem to be thoroughly justified, Near- The desirability of more attention and care in the display of exhibits emphasizing the mineral resources of Ontario to the people of Great Bri.. tain is dealt with in a recent issue of The Toronto Globe. (Touching on this question The Globe ._a.vsl-- When the new Commissioner for Ontario settles down in the tondon Olin-e, one of his Rrst duties should be to make a proper display of the min.. oral products of this Province. This er at home the suggestion readily oe- curs that the Canadian National Rail- ways and the Grand Trunk should assemble in Toronto ty display of Can- adian products on the ambitious and attractive scale in which they are pre- sented by the Canadian Paeifie at the Windsor Station at Montreal. If Canada is to attract more people and new capital for the development of natural resources, the work of attract ing money and people must not be done in a half-hearted manner. Speaking of Northern Ontario, Mr. Loring says that favorable geological conditions occur repeatedly over the entire territory. "There are beyond doubt many potential Hollingers, Me lntyres, Wright-Hargreaves in the making, and yet to be found" he says. "Northern Ontario is the only exten- sive gold mining region in the world, the gold production of which is steadi ly increasing. The gold output of South Africa, Australia, United States and elsewhere has decreased 30 per cent. during the past five years, with little hope for the future. (Tn the other hand Northern Ontario, which has a more extensive favorable area than any other known mining; region, has steadily inereased,its, production, although but a small fraction has been prospected, and that within only a few" miles of railroad, and is but in its infancy. From a possible te20,- 000,000 during the coming year at the ppresent rate, it should increase many times with the further development of its present mines and of other mines to be discovered in. this vast territory. "’ MINERAL RESOURCES SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED IN BRITAIN Frank MeCurry of Timmins, Frank Bergeron and w. Vcpisshop of the uFalls all scored 10 points in the Ath. letie Meet on Labor Day. The prize was a handsome silver cigarette case, the gift of' the Hamilton B. Wills Co.) stockbrokers. As all three men had done so well and had proven them- selves such good sports, the committee decided to get two other cigarette cases identical and give each of the three the same prize. iLasit week reference was made to the fact that at the‘At-hletie Meet at Iroquois Falls on Labour Day three men tied for first place and the prize given. It was further-intimated that the matter of the tie would be adjust- ed by the Committee in charge. This adjustment has been made, as will be noted by the following from the cur- rent issue of The Broke Hustler c--- PRIZE FOR EACH op TIED MEN AT FALLS TRACK MEET Sealed tenders addressed to the un- dersigned and endorsed "Tender for Ties" will be received at this office until twelve o'eloek noon, Saturday, 17th. day of September, 1921, for 2,500,000 Railway ties to be manufae.. tured between October 1021, and May 1922, and delivered between Deeenr. ber lst, 1921, and September 30th, 1922, on Canadian National'lines bet- ween Vancouver and Port Arthur, and between Prince Rupert and Arm- strong,"in accordance with Tie Speci- fieation No. 3856, dated March 18th, 1919.
