A letter posted at the Timmins post office at six o‘clock in the morning on Thursday of last week reached its destination in one of the post oftice boxes used for the convenience of the post office staff but paid for by the users, at the hour of ten o‘clock on Friday. In other words that letter traâ€" yelled about six feet in thirty hours. At that rate it would not have reached Schumacher last year. The excuse given by the post office for the nonâ€"deliâ€" rery of the letter, which happened to be an important one, was that it carâ€" ried insufficient postage, and in the busy season the staff did not have time to attend to it sooner. The post office had time enough to stop the letter on its way, thus upholding the famous old red tape. But the office hadâ€" not time to look after its prompt delivery for the convenience of the public. The inâ€" sident is more or less typical of the service at the Timmins post office where, as Al. Plunkett would say, ‘‘the smell grows stronger and the service grows weaker every day."‘ For the first time in the history of the town‘of Timmins the beginning ef January sees the municipality without a complete council board. On one famous occeasion Messrs. Jack Datlon and C. Pletsch nominated practically all the candidates for the council that year, but the council itself, was elected by acclamation and all qualified for office, with the result that when the new year opened the new council was complete and ready for business. This year, however, 1928 commences with only a mayor and four councillors electâ€" ed. New nominations will be necessary to elect the other two councillors required to complete the board. The new council will likely set the date for the nominations at the first meeting of the council on Monday next. It would expedite matters and save expense if the two remaining councillors were elected by acclamation, and there seems to be no reason why this should not be done. There were twenty candidates nominated for the council board last week, but only five of them qualified and one of these decided to withdraw within the legal time. The cireumstance is so new to Timmins that it has roused much interest here. Timmins, however, is not in the same class in this matter with Desoronto, where only one man qualified for the counceil, and so five others remain to be elected to complete that counceil. From Kitchener, Ontario,comes the suggestion that municipalities proâ€" vide for the paying of $1.00 each to all persons voting at elections in the municipality. The idea is that this dollar payment would induce more people to vote at elections. It might, but this type of vote would be no more inâ€" telligent than any other purchased vote, and that is little enough. In more than one section of Ontario votes have been bought wholesale but the result has never been either gratifying or advantageous to the country. As a counâ€" ter suggestion to increase interest in the privileges and duties of the voter, indu when Friday )n teenth more need be done about the matler. . sSstlil more J waits for the authorities to bring to justice the cow Inspector, whose life was sacrificed because he kne fearlessly and well.

The Boys® Parliament that met in Toronto last week passed a resolution protesting against the sensationalism of certain Canadian newspapers that improperly feature erime and scandal and other unsavoury matters. . In their attitude, the boys evidenced better sense, better citizenship and better hearts and heads than the newspapers that were criticized. The reply of the newsâ€" ensured will no doubt be the hackneyed one that they have In the public interests sometimes unsavoury matters In saying this, however, it may be papers that were c to publish the news. have to be given publicity by the press. well to remember that cesspools have to be cleaned, but that no rightâ€"thinkâ€" ing man will sit on the edge of a cesspool and keep stirring it up with a stick. The objection to the sensational newspapers is not the fact that they do seavenger work, but the belief that they actually enjoy the smell they raise. People who criticize tl;e sill'y sensational ne-wspapers might do well to note that Canada has some newspapers whosestrength, high purpose, useâ€" fulness, enterprise and influence far outweigh the lighter type of journalism. That these newspapers, true to the highest ideals, are successful and prosâ€" perous speaks well for the standing of citizenship in this Dominion. Hugh up among such highâ€"class newspapers The Advance would place The Toronto (Gilobe, though differing with its views on such matters as politics and proâ€" hibition. The Industrial Number of The Globe this week is a sample of what the better journalism can do. The number shows an enterprise that outshines the petty efforts of the sensational press. The issue gives a comâ€" prehensive review of the progress of Canada in the past year and the prosâ€" pects for the future. It is all dependable, informative, helpful, yet so cleverly presented as to be interesting to all but the absolute moron. In the review of Canada‘s industrial life the North Land is not overlooked. The Globe has too wide a grasp of affairs for that. There are inspiring articles in the issue by Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Mines; Mr. Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. O. Railway; Mr. G. C. Bateman, secretary of the Ontario (Mining Association, and by special writers for The Globe. _ Wellâ€" illustrated, wellâ€"printed, and attractively arranged, with its wealth of inâ€" formation and inspiration the issue is one that Canada may well consider most creditable.
