In commenting on the case of Victor Bodnaruk, convicted at Simcoe of various crimes, The Simeoe Reformer last week says:â€"‘‘The work that Chief Inspector John Miller has done in the case, as well as in many other cases, has wor for him the utmost confidence and admiration. ‘With practically no eclues to start on, he has time and again found the criminal and brought him to justice. He is a great asset to the Ontario Police Force and has enorâ€" mously increased his prestige."‘ If these kind words are deserved by Chief Inspector Miller, the Province should at once place him at the work of disâ€" covering the murderer of Inspector Constable at Cochrane last October. If Chief Inspector Miller has the power to add to the prestige of the Provmâ€" cial Police Force, he would have enormous seope for his ability in this case and in this North Land. The prestige of the Provincial Police here at the present time can stand much addition, and the Province itself has nothing to be proud of so long as the cowardly killing of Inspector Constable is unâ€" Lastâ€"xear Timmins had the distinction of being the town where no municipal taxes were collected, _ This year it isâ€"going to have the honour of beings the town where two years‘ taxes will be gathered in the one year. The town would have been the better without either such distinetion or such honour. Municipally speaking, this is the morning after the night before. Last week The Ottawa Journal made the deliberate charge that in the matâ€" ter of raising the alteged ‘*constitutional issue"‘ last year, Premier King had not played fairly with the Governorâ€"General or the people. _ The Journal asserted that there had been a direct and definite understanding between Mr. Kingz and Baron Byngyâ€"whereby it was agreed that in ease Mr,. King eould not retain his majority in the House, Mr. Meighen should be called upon to form a Government. The Journal said that Mr. King flouted this agreement and it challenged him to cable Baron Byng for a denial of the agreement alleged. â€" The Journal also asserted that the Premier had asked the Governorâ€" teneral to solicit advice from the British Government in regard to the proper procedure when Mr. King resigned last year. The Premier could not deny the latter assertion because it was proven by the corréspondence brought down in the House, but he did give categorical denial to there being any agreement or understanding between him and the Governorâ€"General as to Mr. Meighen having any chance at the task of governing. The Journal flatly refuses to accept the Premier‘s denial, affirming that Mr. King knows and soveral others know that The Journal stated the facts. So there is a war eu! And Mr. King has gone on a holiday to the United States, presumably un*til the treable_blows over. â€" Thus does lhustory repeat itself, Ten years ago The Advance suggested the need for a community building in town, especially for the accommodation and advantage of the young men. Apart from the desirability for proper jail accommodation, adequate quarters for the offices of the municipal departments, and the necessary large meeting hall space for courts and gatherings, there appeared to be a genuine service to the town in the providing of baths, swimming pools, gymnasium, ete. The need has not hbeen supplied in the past ten years, and on more than one cccasion The Advance has taken the time and trouble to emphasize this fact. Financial considerations no (:iouht constitute the chief reason why this genâ€" uine need of the town is not filled. Last year, it would appear as if the t giwn council missed an opportunity for the securing of very material assisâ€" tance in financing the sort of municipal or community building desired. 1t might be well to keep the matter in mind. If it is kept in view, someone may discover a plan whereby a community building of the type required. may be erected and maintained. It would be a structure that would return: good dividends to the town in the way of happier and more contented yonngi l people, and thus more healthy and better citizens. avenged ditary monarehy Mr. E. J. Garland, U. F. A. member in the Dominion House, has introâ€" duced a resolution in the House to change the title of the Dominion of Canâ€" ada to the Kingdom of Canada. â€" This prompts The Eganville Leader to suggest Mr. Tommy Church as the first king. This suggestion, no doubt, is the slick Irish way of The Leader to indicate its lack of desire for a hereâ€" sick! According to a despatch in the daily newspapers last wéek, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were censured in court at Montreal for some of the methods employed in the alleged use of alleged methods to catch alleged smugzlers. ~These methods, however, were :just as \praisew‘orth.' as some of the procedure recently adopted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in their supposed war against supposed narcotic drug sellers in this North Land. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police at one time enjoyed worldâ€"wide repuâ€" tation for the best of methods and the finest of service. The late Co. Sam Steele, who took so much justiflable pride in the high standards and the clean methods of the R. C. M. P. when that body was under his charge, must surely weep, or swear, to see them toâ€"day using drug addicts as partâ€" nersâ€"and other undesirable people as equals in the work of attempting to induce infractions of the law, so that there may be cases. In commenting on the fact that the Ontario Government Liquor Disâ€" pensaries made a profit of a million dollars last year, The Toronto (Globe remarks that ‘‘there must have been an awful lot of sickness in Ontario last year."‘ / Yes, dear, the Ontario Temperance Act apparently madeseveryone TUnder ordinary cireunstances all municipal taxes for 1926 would be considerably overdue by this time, but owing to the misadventures of the administration of civie affairs last year, the 1926 tax notices were not issued until a Few weeks ago. In the meantime the town has suffered inconvenience and loss through the nonâ€"collection of taxes in 1926.. The town is paying a considerable sum each month as interest on the money that has to be borâ€" rowed until the taxes are received. In addition the citizens have to face the fact that to place the town back on a proper footing taxes for 1927 must also be collected this year as well as the 1926 rates due. Accordingly it is in the general interests that all back taxes be paid as soon as possible. All who are able to do so should pay all of the 1926 taxes at once. This will not only relieve the town from the interest charges that must be paid on the borrowed money, but it will also place the town in a position to carry some of those who for the present are actually unable to meet the demands for back taxes. It is true that the town has arranged for the paying of the 1926 taxes in two instalments, the first instalment bheing due on March 1st, and the second half on April 15th. This, however, does not alter the fact that the taxes for last year should all have been paid before now. It is not only good business but it is loyalty to the town to pay all arrears of taxes at the earliest possible moment. (If possible, do it now! unfiit a feéew weeks a2@o.

Acâ€" cording to the despatches from Marâ€" mora, Mr. Jerome Keene, who was aâ€" bout sixty years of age, was found dead in bed with his head shattered by a shotgun. The upper part of the head was blown off and the shot had passed on into the wall of the house. The unfortunate man had bheen in bed when he was shot. Robbery was not the motive apparently, as money in his pockets had been untouched. There was no trace of the shotgun, and the whole affair seems shrouded in mystery. The late Mr, Keene was |\ highly respected and popular with all who knew him, and did not appear to any enemies. For some time ‘past he had been taking his meals, at his sister‘s place, but sleeping at his home not, far away. At Christmas time it was understood that he had |gone to Timmins to visit his son, but ;recent‘iy enquiries showing that he ,had not come here, investigation led to the finding of the dead body last ‘Thursday, the discovery being made ‘by his mephew, Charles Gardiner. \ Due to the weather, the body was in a good state of préservation and it is believed that the murder may have | been committed as far back as Christâ€" fmas. An inquest was opened but was |adjourned until Monday of this week. Un Monday, owing to a very severe storm in the district, and to allow | further investigation the inguest was adjourned for the two weeks. Mr. M. B. Scott to Speak on Topic of Worldâ€"wide Importance at Home and School Association Jt will be admitted that many have a very vague and hazy idea of the League of Nations. It is realized ferhaps, that the League came into existence because of one commanding impulse, namely, that the world must keep faith with those who died. It is also felt, perhaps, that it is the one institution definitely, in a practiâ€" cal worldâ€"wide way, committed to the responsibility of peace on earth and good will among.men. â€" But, generally spez:’ing, little is known of its actual aimsand achievements. For this reaâ€" son the Home and School Association have taken it as the subject for their meeting this month. This meeting will be held toâ€"morrow evening, Friday, Feb. 25th, in the Central School, at 8 o‘clock. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance of visitors and friends. The address of_the evening will be given by Mr. M. B .Seott and there will also be an interesting musiâ€" cal programme.

Mr. Finlayson, Minister of Lands Forsts for| reforestation in Ontario, and for the taking out of settlement of certain lands in the Laurentian belt unsuitable for agriculture, should meet with very ; general approval and hearty support. Hon. Mr Finlayson has very eviâ€" dently given very serious consideration to the prob]erm facing his departâ€" ment, and he has evolved a solution that promises, allâ€"round advantage. Some weeks ago The Advance published the carefully considered plans of Mr. J. H. Hanes, who has spent fifty years in exploratory work in Ontario. | Mr. Hanes had a proposal for reforestation and better settlement that w as[ along the same lines as those adopted by Hon. Mr. Finlayson in the bill he, has now before the legislature. In years past Bhe Lindsay Watchmanâ€"Warâ€" der and The Renfrew Journal advocated plans of similar type. It seems to| be evident that the problems of reforestation and better settlement ;lovetail' into each other, and the fact that Hon. Mr. Finlayson recognizes this so clearly would indicate that he has reached the solution of twp“ pressing proâ€" blems and found a practical method to give Ontario\\louble z},ti\'aflt':tge. Elsewhere in this issue will be found letters from Mr. H. A. Preston that are worthy of special consideration. Mr. Preston suggests the compleâ€" tion of several short sections of roadway so that there may be a complete belt of roads for autos in this North. The advantages of this belt roadway are many and selfâ€"evident. The roads proposed would open up very valuable new country of promise, and in addition would give the North an added atâ€" traction for tourists. It is believed that the completion of the higil’way from North Bay to Cochrane, Timmins and Iroquois Falls will mean a noteworthy influx of tourists who will come to the country by auto.s The presence of a belt of roads, whereby they could come to this North by ,one route and reâ€" turn by another would make a double appeal to tourists. The members from this North Land should take this matter up with the Government and see if it is not posstble and practical to have such a beltâ€"line in the very near future, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, GONTARIO The H eek sav Maclean‘s _ Magazine, Canada‘s National Magazine, desires a local reâ€" presentative to look after new and renewal subscriptions.
