How can this unity be achieved? By thinkâ€"= ing ‘we can GIVS to Canada in the same broad way that we think of what we can get out of her. Just as we go freely to the east or the west or the north to grasp the opporâ€" tunities that Canada may offer to labor or capital,â€"so we must give to the east or the west or the north the gifts of goodwill and of loyalty. The epen door must swing both ways. *‘Unite on the things that all agree upon and leave the other things for settlement at some later time,‘‘â€" this was the advice of a labor leader recently to the men of the Porcupine.

That, howâ€" ever, is only one half of the question. The other balf of the question is: "What will the people within her gates offer to Canada?‘‘ For Canaâ€" da‘s sake, for the people‘s sake, for the world‘s sake, for the individual‘s sake, the offering cannot be all on one side. First of all, Canadians must be loyal to Canada. ~That © means . no more than being loyal to the mayjâ€" onty,â€"â€"to themselves. No man can live to himself alone. Even from the selfish standpoint, that does not pay. The greatest good to the greatest number must be the watchword, and that means in the‘end justice to the few and safety for the individual. It is trueâ€"that majority rule somelimes means: passing hardship to the minâ€" ority, but minority rule is but the more ‘ undesirahle because it â€" works the same injustice to the many.

Summarizing the above item literâ€" ally, it would appear that the acciâ€" dent occurred on Saturday, the car jumped the track on Saunday and fell into the rapids the day before. If the car could fall into the rapids half a day before it jumped the track it sunply proves the truth of the old saying that ‘‘it‘s a long time beâ€" tween drinks‘‘ sometimes.

GETTING THE DATES MIXED. Mr. Geo. H. Munroe was concerned in some mining ventures that â€" also greatly concerned some of the people. No matter who was legally to blame the ‘‘concerning‘‘ did not reflect much benefit on the mining business in general, for when there is a ery against one venture there is a depreâ€" ciation of even the soundest mining prospects so far as the general pubâ€" lic is concerned. It is for this reason that responsible papers interested in mining as a legitimate enterprige, â€"well, hasten to explain that Geo. H. Munroe is no relation to good old Jack Munroe, of Elk Lake, and the glorious Princess Pats. In its last issue ‘The Financial Times of Montreal has a reference to Geo. H. Munroe. This reference should explain itself. The Financial Times says :â€" George H. Munroe is back in our midst.. George H. Munroe has been, away for a long time but he has réâ€" turned and is interested in the proâ€" motion of the Fisher Gold Mining and Milling Company, Limited of Toronto, with a â€" of $2,500,000 in $1.00 shares. The Financial Times has obtained a prospectus of this company, the most interesting part of which, perâ€" haps, is the directorate, comprising the names of several â€" distinguished business and professional men â€" of Toronto and Montreal. One of the directors is the Honorable Albert Sevigny, P.C., K.C., M.P., etec. (all the ‘‘initials‘‘ are gven, as is cusâ€" tomary with mining prospectuses). on méthods which made â€" oldâ€"timers sit up and take notice. As the prospectus says: *‘Mining is one of the most basic industries in the world,"‘ but in the case of many of these promotions, prospective inâ€" vestors should make very careful inâ€" vestigations before making a purâ€" chase, and only those who can afford to lose should ever participate in mines not yet developed. The prospectus is in the form of an 8â€"page booklet; size of pages, 11 by 84 inches; quahty of stock, semiâ€" calendar. '_lhexe are two photoâ€" graphs of men in uniform, and someâ€" thing about Geological Formation. George H. Munroe is not on the board of directors, but his brother, Alex, Munroe, is / secretary. _ The Munroe brothers were active in stock selling in this district about ten or twelve years ago. They, on one o¢â€" casion, chartered two special trains and took a party off to some remote mining district. They were trains de luxe, and created quite an impresssion at the time. Wireless securities were also sold by these young men, and they were interested in the Bartlett Mines, which company was promoted Three Russian armies are now fighting gallantiy. The offensive is spreading to tho north and south of Halies. °A dozen villages have .been wrested from the Huns, in addition to matty important vantage â€"points. The Russians are showing great generalâ€" ship and an energy that is striking The mines and plant of the comâ€" pany are at Kirkland Goldfields, Onâ€" tario. A paragraph deals with the ‘‘Seeâ€" ret of Success.‘"" It says, in â€" part: ‘"Ask any man to give you the inner secret of his financial success, and he will invariQly answer thus: ‘The ability to recognize and take advantâ€" age of opportunity when it presents itself.‘ * "The ability to recognize and take advantage ,of oppoxtumt\,” is good. It is very good. It paraphrases the old saying about Opportunity Knockâ€" ing at the Door. In these days, howâ€" ever, one knocks. The activity in the air has been noteworthy during the past week in the war. The last German raid on London caused the death of 37 civâ€" ilians,â€"28 men and 9 women,â€"and the injury of 141 more. The British brought down ten German airships after the raid. The demand for reâ€" prisals grows more insistent in Engâ€" land. The great Krupp works at Essen were bombed by French aviators last Friday and projectiles also dropped on many German cities, much damâ€" age being done: 0 On the Britigh front in France there were unprecedented air battles also, in which thirty German and thirteen > British (machines â€" â€"were brought down. The superiority of the British air service seems estabâ€" lished now. RUSSIA HAS CCHME BACK WITZ â€"A VENGEANCE THE BATTLES IN THE must recognize it before it armies Are now The offensive is orth and south of villages have .been Charges of Abduction and . Securing Marriage License by False Pretences Thrown Out. At the police court on Thursday last Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the two cases against A. Gentile. One of these was a charge of abducâ€" tion and the other an accusation of obtaining a marriage license under false pretences. Both charges were instituted at the suggestion of the mother of the girl married some months ago by Gentile. The claim of this mother is that the girl was‘not as old as required by the statements made in the application for the marâ€" riage license. A charge of perjury against Gentile, arising from the same source, was: dismissed some weeks ago, but hope seems to spring eternal in some human breasts that ‘*‘where there‘s a will there‘s a way.‘‘ On Thursday, Solicitor Slaght, of Haileybury, was here to act for Genâ€" tile, but apparently the prosecution was not ready to .go on with the case, though they had their own time to get it up. Consequently, as witâ€" nesses and evidence were not forthâ€" coming, Magistrate Atkinson dismisâ€" sed the case, recognizing no doubt the expense and inconvenience to Gentile by a remand that would necessitate another long journey by his counsel. In conncection with this particular marriage, there have now been three charges laid against Gentile, and if there are any more cases in the matâ€" ter the public would be better pleased to see someone else concerned. Alâ€" though Gentile has been able to free himself from each of the charges, this has entailed â€" considerable > exâ€" pense and inconvenience to him. He is an industrious, cleanâ€"living young fellow who appears to have acted in good faith and with honorable inâ€" tentions, and it seems a pity that the should be subjected to unnecessary expense and annoyance when no ends of justice are furthered. At the first trial, the minister who married the couple gave evidence to the efâ€" feet that he particularly asked the girl her age and received the same answer that was given by Gentile on the license application. Further, it was from the young man‘s efforts to secure his wife and to support her that the first case against him was commenced. ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1911 PORCUPINE FIRE At the track and field meet arâ€" ranged by the Canadian Y.M.C.A. in the Canadiar training areas in Engâ€" land for Dominion Day, Capt. Robert Kerr, at Seaford, won the hundred yards from a field of twenty; Jack Tresidder won the 220 and 440 yards and hurdles. At Shorncliffe, Sergt. Bentley, Sergt. Hopper, Corp. McGilâ€" livray, Lieut. Rogers and Corp. Edâ€" mondson were notable winners. Jack Tresidder is a brother of the former Y.M.C.A. Secretary at Cobalt, and his sporting record overseas has already brought him into prominence. Toâ€"day is the anniversary of the Porecupine Fire of 1911. In this big fire, the blaze swept over this part of the country, levelling the Hollinâ€" ger, Dome and other mine equipment, and seventy or eighty people lost their lives . The towns of South Poreupine and Pottsville were wiped out. While not as great a tragedy as the Poreuâ€" pine Fire of last year, which was later in the month, the fire of 1911 was a sericus one to the new country, its people and its prospects.
