3 45 Thursday, April 1st, 1926 Too often Life Insurance is regarded solely as a means of protettion for dependents. It is that. But a more sensible way to look at it is to regard it not only as the to insure protection for dépendents in the event of death, but in addition to , provide for one‘s own comfort in later life. The Confederation Life Association proâ€" vides this dual insurance in theé form of a Peerless Policy which has been found to meet the requirements of the business and professional man. We should like to send you a booklet entitled, ‘"‘The Peerless Policy." It descriâ€" ‘bes this dual plan of insurance precisely. Write for a copy. CONFEDERATION LIFE E. C.

Awakened Public Opinion > â€" Needed for Canada‘s Problem Some years ago The Advance reâ€" ferred to Canada‘s attitude on immiâ€" gration as beingâ€"much on a par with the state of mind of a group of Mcâ€" Gill University students who paraded the streets of Montreal lustily singâ€" ing a song, the whole borden of which was the sentence, ‘‘We don‘t know where we‘re going but we‘re on the way.‘‘ ~"In practically all efforts toâ€" wards colonization, Canada has made spasmodic moves that have been pitiâ€" fully ineffectual chiefly because they were not based on broad, definite, wellâ€"considered principles. ‘There is no politi¢tal leaning in this idea. The only : difference betwéen _ different zovxernments has been that some have been worse than others. None of them have made a success of the immiâ€" eration plans attempted. Results ha\e always failed to justify the exâ€" ‘penditures. Yet the whole solution to Canada‘s present pressing problem seems to lie in a proper immigration policy. The plan proposed by Dr.C. V,. Corliss, of Sudbury, promised to do great things for Canada. Yet it would appear now, that though a modification of the suggestions of Dr. Corliss has actually been adopted by the British and Canadian Governâ€" ments, it is apparently threatened with failure for lack of the enthuâ€" siastic support of all parties conâ€" cerned. The letters written by Dr. Corliss, and noted at length in The Advance, do, however, show the value of intelligent public opinion. The Great Need is the Creation of a,Unanimous ana Vigiâ€" lant Public Demand for a Comprehensive and Conâ€" structive National Colonization Policy. â€" Until the People Take an Active and Thoughtful Interest There Will be no Solution. ‘"‘I am deeely impressed with the thought,. that in the veryâ€" first inâ€" stance, a erystallized and militant pubâ€" lic opinion, supported by all classes in Canada, demanding active and forâ€" ward looking policies on the part of all political parties on the subject: of immigration, must be created in order to strengthen the hands of our governments.‘"~ =â€" cA A letter receiver this week from Mr. Chas;: W. Peterson, president and publisher of The Farm and Ranch Reâ€" view, of Calgary, Alberta, summarizes the problem and its solution in very concise way. Mr. Peterson says:â€" A masquerade dance was held in the Hollinger Recreation Hall on Friday evening last, under the Aauâ€" spices of the Caledopian Society of. Timmins, the event being in charge of the ladies‘ committee. There was *good attendance, most of those presâ€" ent being in costume. Some of the costurmes were unusually clever and madé the work of the judges specially hard to select the winners. Music _was supplied by Messrs Hale and MceCulloch, Mr. Bridges being unable to remain on account of illness. Reâ€" freshments <were served during the evening as usual. After the meeting had been formally opened by the Preâ€" sident, Mr. W. D. Watt, on motion the evening was devoted exclusively to dancing. s o is realized by most thinking people thatCanada‘s key problem is to secure at the earliest possible moâ€" ment a largely augmented, agriculâ€" tural population, and that the attainâ€" ment of this objective would autoâ€" matically solve all our other minor national problems such as those df our destrictive rate of taxation, National Railways deficit, unemployâ€" ment, ete., and lead our country back into the paths of prosperity. MASQUERADE DANCE BY CALEDONIANS LAST FRIDAY EXâ€"MAYOR OF COCHRANE COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT The Northern News, of Cobalt, last week had the~following paragraph â€"â€" â€" ‘‘Ben_ Rothschild, exâ€"mayor"â€" of Cochrane, is serving a sentence of. ten days in the district jail at Haileybury for contempt of court. He will be released next week. Rothschild failâ€" ed to appear for a judgment summons in Division Court last January, it is said, and in his absence Judge Caron imposed sentence of‘ ten days in jail in default, the charge being contempt of court. ~At the time the defendant was away from town, according to inâ€" formation obtained in* Cochrane, and he remained away until Saturday last, when she reappeared there. He ‘was at once apprehended by the bailiff, Tom Goodwin, who executed his Honâ€" or‘s Goodwin brought his min to Haileybury. on Monday‘s train and turneqd him over to D. R. Murray, in charge of the District Jail, to serve out the sentence of the court. ‘Rothschild was in Cobalt about two weeks ago."‘ Two Points of View There were two kindly Seots surâ€" veying a new cemetery. !After a long silence, one of them said: ‘‘I dinna like it; I‘d rather dee than be burrit If you will work for others as you would like others to work for you, you‘ll never be out of a job. â€"\\ i1â€" liam Feather Magazine. in sic a place."" And the other replied: ‘‘Wi‘ me, it‘s the verra reverse; I winna be burrit onywhere else, if I‘m spared.‘‘ FiSan, ‘*No public issue has been the‘vicâ€" tim of more platitudes than that of immigration on platform and in press. In European countries itâ€"is realized that the economic#®of population lies at the basis and foundation of proâ€" gressive statesmanship. In Canada, where the subject is of such vital imâ€" portance, we have never even peneâ€" trated below its surface. There seems to be no intelligent public opinion on the question, and our economic groups are «consequently hopelessly divided on | the issue. Added population merely spells /further unemployment to the labour group and increased competition to the farmer. Hence, we frequently find our great rural orâ€" canizations unfriendly and even offiâ€" In an article in The Farm and Ranch Review, Mr. Peterson deals further with what he aptly terms. ‘‘Canada‘s Key Problemâ€"the Cregaâ€" tion of a Unanimous and Public Deâ€" mand for a Constructiveâ€" and Compreâ€" hensive National Colonization Polâ€" icy.‘‘. In part, he says :â€" cially antagonistic téwards any effort to augment Canada‘s population. This creates a mischievous and danâ€" gerous national situation, ‘*And yet, an intelligent stitdy of the population question ~leaves one in no doubt, that lasting afl'rlcultural‘ prosperity is not possible without the steady, progressive. colonization and devy elo%)ment of our extensive vacapnt spaces by real agricultural settlers. The realization of such a, programme would, however, involve a co.nstructne and fOI‘Wld lookmg colonization efâ€" fort of a magnitude no government could safely contemplate toâ€"day in view of the apathetic state of average Canadian public opinion on the subâ€" ject. The super task confronting Canada at this moment, therefore, would appear to be to convince her own citizens of the wisdom of reâ€" garding the population question as the corner stone of all public policies, which, indeed, it is. ‘‘The Canadian farmer has a vital interest in the inauguration of vigoâ€" rous and comprehensive policies by the various governments and railways designed to promote the actual coloniâ€" zation of our vacant agricultural areas. It would mean the stabilizaâ€" tion of the value of his chef workâ€" ing asset, again placing his industry on a solvent basis, it would solve his labour problem, improve his social and economic conditions, lighten the burden of taxation and improve his position in many other directions.‘‘.

WILL DIRECT FINANCING OF HARKER GOLD MINES A local mining man last week pointâ€" ed out the moral that it seldom pays to kAock anyone or anything just beâ€" cause the person or thing appears to conflict for the moment with cherishâ€" ed plans. He drtaws this lesson from the tendency of a few people to imaâ€" gine that it was good policy for those in the older camps to belittle Red Lake or other new camps. ‘‘Not so!‘‘ he said. ‘‘Boost,""‘ he suggestâ€" ed,»‘‘and the value will appear later, perhaps.‘‘ To back up his idea aâ€" long this line he quotes the despatch from Matheson last week relative to the Harker Mine. ‘‘Now that the details in contiection with the sale of the Howey Gold Mines to Dome Mines Company have been attended to. It has been learned that J. E. Hammellâ€" will direet efforts toward further financing of the Harker Gold Mines,‘ in the Lightning River disâ€" trict. The name of Dome .Mincs Companv’s also being linked up with the further financing of Harker, but this report is as )et without confirâ€" mation. Among the heavy holders in Harker at present is R. C Stanley, president of the International Nickel Company ‘‘ ‘The success at Red Lake, ha suggests, is having valuable effect on the probable development of a promising property in an older disâ€" ‘trict. Everything works around for the advantage of all in the long run, is his summary.
