October 31, 1923 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCg THE Flesherton Advance W. H. THURSTON, Editor CRIMINALS AND CRIMINALS Among all the strife and turmoil rampant in Kurope at the present time Canada stands out as a shining star in the firmancnt of. politcal darkness. Any "whisper of death" is utterly out of place. We have our troubles and we may wriggle and squrm under the burden of taxation, but when we understand that our financial condition is in a better shape than that of any other country, and our people arc not as heavily taxed as mo.st of the other countries engaged in the late war, it takes the keen edge off our disappointments. Our greatest difficulty at the pres- ent time is to discover a means to control the criminally nclincd. And in this class are included the profi- teer, who had a taste of huge profits during the war. and still struggles to acquire unfair gains. The I'nited States held an. investi- gation recently and discovered that some whoesalers were charging 200 per cent, more than pre war profits! That is the class of men that have to be dealt with, and Canada will have to deal with them, too. Of course we expect to pay a larger price for manufactured goods, because ail such goods are heavily taxed by the gov- ernment, and in this way we are paying our war debts. And the jrreater the price charged by the wholesaler, the more government tax is collected, which will likely make the Government shy about holding this gentry in check. Until the people utter such a protest that the Kovernment will be obliged to move, nothing will be done. Crime and criminals arc alike the world over, and they are not all classed as bank and highway robbers. ago will realize the fact that we were a happy and contented people with the old ox team travelling at the rate of two or three miles per hour To- day we try to speed up to forty or fifty miles. Whither is our ambi- tion leading us?

Fred G. Fowler. ' Thistlethwaite Hardwick SOMKTIMM; FOR ot R OLD BOYS Mr. Andrew Wilson of Maxim, Sask.. an old Flesherton boy, in re- newing for The Advance writes: "We always look for the Flesher- ton paper above all papers. We were also glad to read the report of the Fair, as in this country we do not have the exhibit in general like the Ontario fairs have." We are always glad to hear from old boys and we think that it would he a good idea to have a column or so devoted to the news of old resid- ents of Osprey, Artemesia, and Flesh- rton in the Advance each week. When we move away from our homes we go out into the world and the only tie we lake with us is the old home town paper and in it we expect to hear of the doings of the old friends we used to know. What better v-iy would there be for those same people who have left us than to have them write to TheAdvance ( occasionally and give news of their "doings" which would be of iritcn--l to other.;? Let The Advance hear from some of our readers along this line. Letter From Rev.

A letter elsewhere in this issue <lraws aiu-ntion to alfair.s over in In- diana, where farms are deserted for the automobile factories and taxation is swamping the country. The writer, Rev. Mr. Fowler, wonders where it will end. There are many who think that the automobile has been more of an in- jury than a blessing to humanity. It has caused a terrible impetus and even incentive to crime, while it does not add to the material wealth of the world. It is a luxury, an obccssion with mankind, and a highway to bankruptcy for many. Motoring in the most enjoyable and exhilarat- ing of all the pleasures that have been invented for the amusement of humanity, but whither is it leading? One can disrpate in this way an well aa he can with narcotics or intoxicat- ing liquor. He can squander his time and money on an unreasoning adora- tion of speed. These have forced on UB costlj roads and hiuh taxes fur building and maintenance. \\V are not o' jectintf to tli nuto- mobili- '> ' -If ' '.-' "'>:>' :''* "iwoly to the uni-oasoning i .trava^umv in jt use.
