It may be asked, **Why the persistent and vicious bitterness evidenced, because Hon. Mr. Ferguson has dropped the beer parlour idea?"‘ The answer may rest n the information coming from Toronto last week. This inâ€" formation is to the effect that the Rinclair party had spent about $50,000 for literature for the campaign, most of the propaganda being directed against the beer plank. When the change was made by Hon. Mr. Ferguson all this literature was valueless. It had to be replaced. It is enough to generate bitterness in politicians. The fact is that all the way along the line Hon. Mr, Ferguson has outâ€"generalled his opponents, and as a consequence he is quite naturally the target for more than the usual amount of abuse. More than one Toronto pastor has suggested that the liquor que~tlon is a religious issue. If this is trile, then the Fer gcuson Government is aligned on the Christian sideâ€"the side of temperance, toleration, consideration for others and moderation.~ By the same token Hon. Mr. Raney is lined‘ up with the Mohammedans,â€"on the side of prohibition, intolerance and foree. A great many people may be wondering why there is so much genamine bitterness shown by some proininont Liberal newspapers and politicians in the matter of the removal from the Ferguson platform of the plan of the sale of beer in licensed hotels and other places. This was one plank that newspapers like The Globe and The Star, and public men like Hon. Mr. Raney and Hon. Mr. Drury, atta¢ked most viciously. It would be thought that at least they would not feel genuine bitterness when the plan was dropped. Had they been in earnest in their®‘*‘temperance‘‘ talk, they would have hbeen zreatly pleased that the beer parlours were not to be established. well worth while to have the **pull"" that an acclamation would give, especâ€" mlly when such an acelamation would express as perfectly as possible the popular feeling in the riding on the one issue of the election. There have been times when the opinions and advice of Mr. W. F. Maclean. exâ€"M.P., for North York, have been of great service and advantage to the country at large. He has been a pioneer in the advocacy of variqus helpful forms of public ownership. And because he brings honest thought to public problems, he is always worth hearing, and often entitled to being heeded. In a letter to The Globe last week, however, he makes a suggestion that should not recieve any consideration whatever. ‘*I believe,"" says this yeteran of political life, ‘‘that Ontario should sell her railway in Northern Ontario, which opened up our silver and gold mines, to the Canadian National Railways, on an agreement under which the C.N.R. would. assume all the capital commitments and undertake to build any new extensions the Government could fairly ask for in necessary mining development. 1 beâ€" lieve Sir Henry Thornton is willing to do this. He is now doing it in Queâ€" bee for the Rouyn copper and gold field. This would release a commitment of £30,000,000, and a new commitment to the same amount ought to take its place for the development of the water powers just mentioned on the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa."‘ This North Land knows,â€"or should know,â€"what an important part the T. N.O. has played in the development of this land. Especially under its present direction it has shown such an able and intelligent interest in the development of the country that much of the advancement made must be credited to the T. N.O. It is only necessary to show Chairman Geo W., Lee and his fellow commissioners where something may be done to adâ€" vance the North to have that something attempted with right good will â€"The service of the people and of the North Land are ever in mind, and in recent vears it surely must be admitted that the T. N.O. Railway is one of the: most valuable assets of the North Land. Not only does the People‘s Ravil-! way serve the North as perhaps no other railway serves any other district on this continent, but it also is one of the few railroads being conducted . so efficiently and economically as to show a iwhaterial profit each year.. As a branch line of the Canadian Government Railways it could not and would not serve this new land as it does toâ€"day. The people of this North Lan(l.I if they are wise, will tolerate no suggestion of the disposal of this valuable asset. The people of Ontario would be equally illâ€"advised to entertain so unprofitable a propostition. The people of Ontario will hold the People‘s Railwav. > | AN ACCLAMATION IN THIS RIDING WOULD BE OF GREAT VALUE. THE NORTH LAND HAS A NOTEWORTHY ASSET IN THE T. N. O. RAILWAY. TIMMINS, ONTARIO.

It should be possible now to decide definitely and finally as to the possibility of developing a coal industry in this North. If such an industry can be established, it will be a wonderful thing for the North, and for all Ontario. HONOUR SHOWN TOâ€"DAY TO THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED Ant candidate in any section of this North Land coming out as a Proâ€" gressive party candidate, or in any way allied with that party should be faced with Hon. Mr. Raney‘s typically temperate and kindly statement some weeks ago to the effect that expenditures for the development of this North Land are simply *‘‘seandalous extravagance."‘ For months past The Advance has been urging the advisability of some form of Government assistance in the dev elopment of the coal fields north of Cochrane. Conditions in the prospective coal fields have been such that it has been impossible for private interests, and especially for the ordinary prospector to (:a.rr_\' on operations on any‘scale that would assureâ€"results. The transportation costs and other difficulties have been unduly burdensome on the prospectors in the coal fields. . its usual keen interest in the deâ€" velopment of the North Land, the Ontario Government has not allowed the situation to pass without proper attention and assistance. Last week anâ€" nouncement was made by the Premier, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, that a campaign of exploration of the cil:â€"and coal possibilities of the North will be undertaken. It is understood that the Government will assist responsible operators who make approved plans for diamond drilling and shaft sinking to the bituminous beds which many believe underlie the lignite deposits in this North Land. The very fact of the Government showing this interest and L There is a Dave Kert he is efficient and popular. affairs in Timmins. Not s All parties appear to agree in making the liquor problem the one issue in the present election. Under the conditions a man must either vote for the Ferguson Government, or for the Ontario Temperance Act. The North Bay Nugget editorially puts the situation in these words:â€"‘‘*The election of a wet Liberal in any riding in Ontario will help to defeat the Ferguson plan for the sale of liquor under government control just as surely as would the election of an outâ€"andâ€"out dry candidate."‘ In view of the wellâ€"known attitude of this riding on the question of the f 5 * o s * O.T.A., @bout all that any independent candidate can accomplish by running in this election will be to hurt his own chances in any other election.

Among other things such an election will mean a more equitable share for the municipalities of the Gold Royalty. amount of bluster and a considerable frost Public men, newspapers andâ€"the people generally should make it clear that the murderer of Inspector Constable positively MUST be brought to justice. â€" Otherwise, no man‘s life is safe in this country. Arthur Moon, of Belleville, sentenced to life imprisonment for one murâ€" der, was tried on another murder charge and sentenced again to another life imprisonment term for this second erime. _ It is understood that the sentences will run concurrently, but if the Provincial auditors ever audit the books at Kingston penitentiary they will no doubt sapiently point out that while Moon is duly serving the one term, there is nothing to show that the authorities are making any effort to collect the second penalty. Commenting on a lady being the Laberal candidate in Hamilton, one provincial newspaper says that no woman lras ever been a member of the Ontario Legislature. Such a statement should be qualified by an age limit. Certainly, no young woman has ever been a member of the Provincial Parliament. A young man named Aubrey Cockshutt yawned so hard on Thanksgiving Day that he dislocated his jaw and had to beâ€"removed to the hospital for treatment. The only explanation of this strange incident as suggested by the despatches is that the young man was living in Toronto at the time.

It is underâ€" stood that Plouffe is appealing the case. Five drunks paid the usual $10.00 and costs, while one other paid an extra $10.00. The various appeals against assessâ€" ments of Hollinger properties in town came before the Council‘s court of revision on Friday. Mr. J. B. Holden, of Toronto, appeared for the Hollinger, and Mr. Dean Kester was acting town solicitor.. The cases were all" adjusted to the mutual satisfacâ€" tion of both parties, in most cases the 1925 figures beingâ€" allowed to obtain. The land value was kept at $50.00 per‘acre, which is $15.00 more than in Tisdale or here last vear. It is understood that there will be no appeals to the Judge from assessâ€" ments this year, so the way is now clear to proceed, without much furâ€" ther delay, to strike the rate colleect the taxes for 1926.
