the young fellow \vas not nearly so Spotless in character as his lawyer suggeste‘. The acoused had robbed a friend and taken the stolen articles to Toronto where he had attemptâ€" ed to dispose of them. ‘The crinte apparently had been preâ€" meditated and carried. out with a thoroughness that was none too creditable. COn the other hand friends had trust enough in the accused to guarantee restitution and promise future good behaviour. This puts‘s lightly different comâ€" plexion on the matter. Bu"‘fl\e:'veare'omermgleatome case. mmmmmmmmm accused personâ€"one trial by a magistrate and the other by "Feview of sentences? On the other hand if the 106 deal with the evidence in the case, does not onsideration the character and record of the accused, and does not note every contributing factor to the breach of the law, of what service can the proposed new board be to;.anyone, not excepting the criminal and the people. â€"If the board of review were to fully reâ€"try the case, it would be wmrping the functions of the courts of appeal. If evidence i.s not fully heard, witnesses duly examined, and the life, opportunity and circumstances of the accused given the most careful thought then the ed review of sentâ€" ences will be, ï¬o more than a troublesome waste of time and effort, with decided political danger ever present. To arrive at strict justice and practical mercy, the fullest enquiry would be necessary. Recently at Kirkland Lake the case of a young man charged with theft was before the magistrate‘s cmu't The young man in question had stolen articles valued at $160.00. He was given a term of three months. ‘The maximum ptmalty allowed would be 14 years. Undoubtedly: mere is a wide spread between three months and fourteen mrs ‘That is a Tact that is not likely to have escaped the notice of the lawâ€"makers.. In the past Magisâ€" trate Atkinsai has given much more severe sentences for offences that to some seemed less serious. ‘The young man‘s lawyer emphamed the youth of the accused, his exceilent nreiouscharwter the fact that he had handled thousands of doilars belonging to his employer and that this was the first tim: the youth had been in any kind of trouble. Leayâ€" ing the mattor at this stage, the board of review might well favour a noilz:al term ‘or the accused. The crown attorney did not ask fyr% severe sentence but he did point out that those making the laws, but that also promises to introduce more politic@l ‘influence and pressure into the administraâ€" stiq ‘j One question that should be answered by flce is im regard to the methods that will be its decision.;, wm the board of review weigh all the eviâ€" dence, consiqu: all the circumstances, study all the condiâ€" tions, lnvest{gatg the past and present record of the accusâ€" ed? If the board does all this, what need of courts of appeal? Or‘ ,h the intention to assure two trials to every given. Would the board of taks all this into conâ€" so much as3 with the provisions of: the law. Consequently it would appear that it is the law that needs revision not the sentences imposed. Surely, Hon. Mr. Price does not contemplate the establishment of a new board of review that will take away from the lawâ€"makers the authority that in most cases they desired to retain in their own hands. For instance, the law may say that the penalty for some particular crime shall be punishable by not less than three months nor more than five years in prison. The reason for the va.ria:tion. possible in the sentence is that the lawâ€"makâ€" ers recognized the fact that under certain circumstances the crime in question may be much less evil than under ot.her different conditions. 'I‘he fact that appeals are possible in praotically every case befaore the courts seems to leave the proposed board of reâ€" view as an unnecessary addition incapable of ‘doing much gocd, and liable to be a real impediment to the cause of true justice. It might well be 'that ‘board of review of sentences would prove little more than a political foree that would contrary to the whole force and tradition of British justice. Study of the question of a board of review of sentences, to supersede and overthrow the idea of an appeal to a highâ€" er court sugigests that haste should be made very slowly in a matter that threatens not only to prejudice the findings of er court sugigests a matter tha thre In considering this question of a board of review of sentâ€" ences the chief point that will appeal to the average man much acquainted with police court affairs is the fact that no two offences ever seem to be the same when circumâ€" stances, conditions and personalities are weighed together. This fact is clearly recognized by the makers of laws when a wide spread in penaltles is set forth. Theft is not always just theft where the punishment may be graded according to the amount stolen or by any other arbitrary measure. There are degrees in nearly every case of breach of the law. If there is too great a difference between the penalty imâ€" posed in one case and that suffered in another crime of the same class the trouble does not rest with the magistrate man. In this connection it should not be forgotten that the crown having the right to appeal against what is conâ€" sidered too harsh a sentence, equally with one thought to be tco lenient, seems to have at present all the power and opportunity for correction of inequalities that may arise P w 1 3 ) 4 PA A AL M 24c o * 2 > 2t of a board of review to pass on sentences imposed by the magistrate‘s courts with a view to equalizing sentences for what the Attorneyâ€"General refers to as similar crimes. A number of newspapers have endorsed the suggestion of Hon. Mr. Price, apparently forgetting that the right of appeal allows all the necessary machinery for the review of sentâ€" ences and the equalizing of penalties to fit the crimes and the circumstances. As a matter of fact it would seem to be the ‘duty of the crown, irrespective of any review board, to constantly consider each sentence with the view of seeâ€" ing that the punishment fits the crime and that the greatâ€" est possible measure of justice and benefit in each individual case is given to the accused and to the public. . Anyoné who follows court cases will note that the variation in the sentâ€" ences imposed by judges is just as great as that of magisâ€" trates. Is it intended to have the proposed board of review interfere with the work of the judges‘ courts? Ancther question that may wellâ€". be asked is whether or not an arbitrary board of review of sentences is to take the place of the right ‘0f appeal, either by the crown or the convicted Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Dec. 7th, 1933 Year ~ The town has lost the experieaced servicts of four good counciliors who gave their best to ‘he interests of the town. 'meoonneflhmdmcmdit ant. appreciation for their goodmkandmeï¬meandeï¬ortmeygavewthewwn Timmins at present is in cxcellent stan:!ing for this fact the 1983 town council dessrves approval. ' A young lady wants to kn::w who counts the stitches made bythesurgeonsmthemseg injm:ythrox@haummobueor other actidents. o_ Nothing happened to the 1933 council. What happened is quite apparent to all. The majority of the people of Timmins were agreed that the Frenchâ€"speaking ratepayers »should be represented on the council. That this is true is shown by the very large votes received by Messrs Chateiuâ€" vert, Maltais and Laprairie. These three received a large share of the Englishâ€"speaking vote. Naturally the French people were also of the opinion that they should be reâ€" presented on the 1934 council. They voted to this effect They turned out to vote, while many of the othar citizens of the town were careless about the matter and did not work or vote for their candidates. The result was foreceen by many during the day. 5 ber of the 1933 council, Councillor Moise Maltais, came second in the polling. He has worked Aarmoniously all year with the 1933 council and has not opposed the general conâ€" duct or any particular action of the council. The large vote given him was proof that the 1933 council is not in any special disfavour. The general opinion is still that the 1933 council gave excellenit service and may be classed amonge the best councils that the town has had. None of the 1933 councillors need feel ashamed of their record nor of the vote given them on Monday, though it may be a matter for regret that more did not turn out to votz on the occasion. The talk of some that there was a great turnover and so on and that they had a part in makinz it so is just so much eyewash. <«When the elephant had just crossed a rather shaky bridge a flea on his ear spoke up and said:â€""Say. but didn‘t we shake that old bridge!" It was the vote deâ€" As to the council for 1934 itself, it has an excellent opporâ€" tunity to make good and serve the best interests of the town. It has good men on its list, some of them with creditable records in public service. Councillor Chateauvert served the town in 1931 on the council board and proved himself active and efficient. Councillor Laprairie was for several years on the town council and has the regard of all. Counâ€" cillor Maltais is a member of the 1933 council and he shares with the other members of this year‘s council the credit for careful and efficient administration of the town‘s affairs Oouncmor Belec is popular and highly regarded by all who mow him. Counciliors Bartleman and Paquette have spent many years in the North and are in position to know condiâ€" tions and circumstances. With the long experience of ‘Mayor and the records of service of some of those an the new council, the 1934 council has a chance to carry on the good work of previous years and keep Timmins the best town of the No:th. In this they should have the support of council that shook the bridge on Monday. Did you vote on Monjay? If not, you missed the chance to make effective commeut. .. There was no big turnover. With a thousand or so more votes on the list this year than last, there was a much smaller vote polled. Too many failed to vote. The fact that there was no contest for mayor had its effect on the vote the in'gerest being less than in some other years. GRAVEL AI\D SANDâ€"AND PLACER Despite all the talk in some quarters, there seems to be nc particular dissatisfaction with the 1933 council. One memâ€" Since the municipai election returns were received or Monday evening, among the popular questions of the day hnave been the following:â€""What happened to the 1933 courcil?" "What caused the big turnover?" "Was there dissatisfaction with the 1933 council?" sE Oe o 2 mt Fay 2 +0 ‘The letter from Ven. Archdeacon Woodall published in ancther column of this issue suggests a wide field for inâ€" terest, pleasure and profit for people in this North Land Archdeacon Woodall asks for information as to how anc why the name "Iroquois Falls" was bestowed upon the town once famous for its industry and its beauty. In this young country there should be men who could give the origin of this place name and of many others. In a few years the difficulty of securing this information and cther historica‘ data will be greater and the result less likely to be accurate The Advance has often wished that the interesting story 0‘ the North and its names might be collected and preserved while the makers of the history of the country are still alive Toâ€"day there are many reliable sources of the history o‘ the North. The facts arse available toâ€"day. A few yeart from now the truth will be clouded in uncertainty and doubt From time to time The Advance has given data in regarc to various sections of the North. The collecting of such data* wcould be a most interesting hobby for anyone witk leisure and aptitude for the work. No monetary reward for the necessary labours would be possible, but there should be a return in the satisfaction that truth was being upheld anc that valuable and illuminating facts were being gathered ir regard to the great North. In the Cobalt district some year: ago the school teachers voluntarily took up this work. NC dowbt it proved fascinating. In any event it would be o advantage and interest in aiding to make a true picture 0‘ the North. There are scores of place names that are inâ€" triguing. Their significance is not apparent, but it might b: made so by a little study and enquiry. It opens a wide fielk for a genial and useful hobby. Ven. Archdeacon Woodall asks why is the waterfall named "Iroquois Palls?" A numâ€" ber of similar queries might be added to this one. For inâ€" stance, there is the community of Nellie Lake! Why was it so named. A number of interesting derivations was sugâ€" gested last week in The Advance for some of the areas of the North. The Indian names have a musical cadence that should surely tempt enquiry as to their meaning. ‘There are a hundred and ons places that would repay in interest for any study or research. In any event it doss not seem right that historical data should be allowed ‘to disappea) because so many are engaged in making history rather thar in gathering the information from which history is built. sothe sort of balance, the decisiin of the board is not likely to be as worthy as that, of ‘the magistrate who has tyied the ummwrmufmmmmmprmmm, front of the court. 1If the case and all its circumstances as weli as the situation of the accused are all adequately conâ€" sidered, the verdict of the board of review is simost sure to coincide with the findings of the magistrate. A board of review of sentences that would fully do its duty would not be likely to alter the magistrate‘s judgment in the case. O what service or advantage would such a board be to any. of those concerned? Is a board of review really desired? And would its operation mean more than an additional political advantage to many. â€"speaking representation on the A mob iyrched two men who confessed to a particularly | buy were al brutal kidnapping and murder: That was bad enough but | for cvouncil notaltogetheramitymtmvmcedsmamsonwmnd was esscted not. in itself have attracted worldâ€"wide attention.

The translation of the Indian name for a place is a common srigin of some of the namss in the North. Partridge Creek, the Otter Raâ€" pids, the White Beaver Portage, are instances which come to my mind off To be informed that the town of Iroâ€" quois Falls receives its nams from the falls of that name on the Abitibi River merely raises one‘s curicsity. I would like to ask The Advance "How did the falls receive the name of Iroquois?" An answer to this question will much oblige the writer of this letter. J. E. WOODALL â€" _Note:â€"Ven. Archdeacon â€" Wocdall raises a very interesiing point in the «bove letter. ~The Advance is unable to answer the question he asks, and apâ€" peals. to the readers of this paper for any information they can give in this respecst. Perhaps some resident of Iroâ€" quois Falls or district, or maybe someâ€" one in this camp may be able to give Timmins an effort was made last week to rouse religious illâ€" will among the pecple of the town. This was done by the distribution cf offensive typewritten circulars pretending to im=lp the 1983 councillors who were candidates but really designed to injure them. Of course, there is not a momber ofâ€"the council who would be guilty of such tactics, nor zsan it be believed that any candidate in the field would 4o such a thing. It looks like the work of a mean It was the first time and it.isto!behopedthatitwmbe the ‘last. Sir:â€"The article in The Advance of last week on the "Origin of Some of the Names of the North" was very interâ€" ssting. There is often more in a nams than the average person imagines As regards the name ‘"Porcupine" for this worldâ€"famous gold camp, there is no doubt that it is the simple translaâ€" tion of the Indian word "Kakh" and that for generations before the advent of the prospector the Porcupine River Informatica Desired in Regard to Namâ€" ing of Falls and Town Noted for Papermaking and Beauty of Situation.
