Because the King has been so greatly adâ€" mired and beloved there is keen regret that he and his constitutional advisers should be unable to agree on a matter that vitally affects the welfare and the standing of the Empire. The suggestion that he desires to weda a woman twiece divorced, and whose two former husbands are still alive, has created a critical situation in Britain. In the various Dominions and colonies the reaction is even more marked. The fact that the woman to whom the King is said to be attached is a comâ€" moner has no bearing on the case from the standâ€" point of the people. Neither is the fact that she is of other than British origin considered as any bar. The marriage of the King to a commoner of any country would prove popular and approved among all the people of the farâ€"flung Empire, provided the proposed consort was of the type befitting a Queen of Britain. One British newspaper strikes the popular note when it demands that the lady who is to take precedence over Queen Mary, the King‘s mother, and the Duke and Duchess of York, should be a woman of the kind that is beyond the sneer of the world. The affection in which the royal family is held not only in Britain but throughout the Empire is shown by the number who have allied themselves in support of the King in any action he may take. It is an odd fact that most of those now forward as supporting the King even though he offend the great majority of his people are men and women who have previously been ready to express their disapproval of what they have termed "this King business." The class of supporters now rallying to the side of the King, if he takes a course such as his royal father would not have considered, nor any of the royal line these many years, should make the King consider well the attitude he assumes in the matter. On the other side, there is the stand of Queen Mary, who is reported as saying that she will go into permanent seclusion if the King defies his advisers and the majority of his people in this matter. There is also the reported decision of the Duke and Duchess of York and their family to leave Britain for as long as a woman who does not measure up to their high standards remains upon the throne. There have been some who are forward with the [ that despatches came from a Michigan town tellâ€" idea that in these ultra modern times, the reported | ing of the discovery of Mr. Small there. While the plan of the King is no more than an evidence of | man believed to'be Small was shown to be someâ€" his upâ€"toâ€"date outlook. This is another case, howâ€"| body else, the very fact of such despatches being ever, of attempting to justify something undesirâ€" |sent in the first place proves that many people able on the grounds that it is something new.

If the waste paper basket is | fullâ€"as it so often is these days, with the amount of propaganda of one kind or another receivedâ€" there is always room on the floor. That is a fthought that anonymous letterâ€"writers might weil ponder. Usually their abusive terms do not even ‘annoy the recipient, when that recipient is a ;newspa'per. because there is always room on the floor for one more anonymous letter. i The writer of the letter poses as someone who \has resided in town a long time. But the man‘s name signed to the woman‘s letter does not appear | either in the directory or in the voters‘ list. Apparâ€" Iently this is another point worthy of noteâ€"an anonymous letter written by a really anonymous person. j ‘ This anonymous letter is not nearly so abusive or mean as the average anonymous letterâ€"which }may be taken as further proof that it really was Last week, however, The Advance received an anonymous letter that was given a litt!s attention. It was very evidently written by a woman, or a lady, or both. The penmanship left little doubt Oof that. Yet the letter was signed with a man‘s name. An anonymous letter written by a woman, signed ‘by a manâ€"that is an unusual anonymous letter surely! But most anonymous letters are unusual in some features, though common in the intention to wound. it be the way of sacrifice, so that the British throne may hold fast to the most modern thought â€"that ideals cannot be too high. written by a lady. Last week a prominent citizen of the town, who is the president of a local club, received an anonymous letter objecting to his inâ€" terest in municipal affairs and threatening to butn down his house if he didn‘t do differently. There was nothing like that in the letter to The Advance. Indeed, The Advance felt that as an anonymous leétter, it seemed to fall out of class. A regular anonymous letter almost certainly threatens to put somebody out of business, beat up somebody, burn out somebody, or kill somebody. The Advance ought to know; it has had baskets full of them, floors full of them! The chief accusation in the anonymous letter is that The Advance uses "scarsam.‘"‘ Wrong, friend! That stuff has never been advertised in the newsâ€" papers and consequently is an unknown quantity. In this modern age it is not safe to use anything that cannot bear the light of advertising, and so whether it be a form of shaving cream, lipstick, breakfast food or a new kind of electrical refrigerâ€" ator, no "scarsam" for The Advance. There is one really mean thing, however, that the lady wrote and signed with the man‘s name. That is a suggestion that the editor of The Advancte offer himself as a candidate for mayor in this town. You‘d like that, wouldn‘t you, you anonyâ€" mous ladyâ€"man? Just so that you might say meaner things over the radio and through the newspapers? Why you might even throw "scarâ€" sam‘" at him! Nothing doing! At least, not till next year! In the meantime, a Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year to you and everybody. And that‘s no "scarsam." The Globe and Mail says that the Ambrose J. Small mystery is seventeen years old, and the only tact in regard to it about which everybody is agreed is that the man is dead. As a matter of fact, that is one of the things about the case concerning which there is considerable disagreement. There are people who do not believe that Ambrose J. Small is dead. And even those who think he is still alive, fail to agree about that, some believing that he lost his memory and wandered away somewhere, and others saying that he disappeared deliberately for some purpose of his own. It is only a year or so ago that despatches came from a Michigan town tellâ€" ing of the discovery of Mr. Small there. While the man believed to,be Small was shown to be someâ€" body else, the very fact of such despatches being sent in the first place proves that many people still are firm in their belief that Ambrose J. Small still lives. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER The Globe and Mail says the North is "richly endowed with mineral and timber wealth."

Belanger, Tom Flynn, Noah Timmins, Dan O‘Connor, wWaltsr Monoghan and mary others. "some of these men," writes Mr. Preéesâ€" ton. "I have known for 27 years or longer. It‘s a great loss to the North, for they all were interested in making this country a better place." Referring to the oldâ€"timers, Mr. Preston continues as follows:â€""I first met Dan O‘Connor at Temagami in 1903 wh:n he came North on his firs? moose hunt. Later, he returned up north, and had lived up hgre ever since until his death. Dan showed me a large chunk of silver he got a few miles north, and the name of the place where Dan secured the silver was called Cobalt." "It would be a year or so later," conâ€" tinued Mr. Preston, "that I boarded with J. D. Kingston at his fine hotel at Latchford, where Mr. Kingston had just built a hotel." _ In continuing his account Mr. Presâ€" ton says that he worked for the late wW. R. Lowery. "Later I came further North to McDougall Chutes (now called Matheson) and it was at this place that I became acquainted with the late Walter Monoghan. He cleared the first large farm at that place, Then two years later I came in with the first party to Porcupine and it was here I met Tom Flynn and Noah Timmins when they came in to look about the Dame. Mr. Flynn was so interested he gave me $25 for one dozen small samâ€" ples from the property. It sure is too bad all these real oldâ€"tiwers could not have lived for a few years longer to see the North and what it will be like in years to come. But it‘s too late now. Many things that should have been done years ago would have made this North a bizger and better place toâ€"day."
