Last week The Advance received the following words appeared :â€"‘‘1 and doingâ€"good work in Timmin belong to them, because since my d job for longer than a month,â€"so 1 like me in Timmins. It‘s not chari not worked since Nov. 1927. I can TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEB. 9TH, 1928 The writer sig published here, not to have his Every right thinking man will sympathize with this returned soldier in his i1lâ€"fortune. â€" He has been most shabbily used. â€" There is no question about it. It might as well be admitted. And he has been defrauded by the country that should have given him every protection! _A sum of $500.00 to a man who has risked Wis life for his country and is now suffering what would appear to be a permanent disability.! Patriotic people will find little to be proud of about that sort of thing. There have been altogether too many similar eases where discouragced soldiers have been indiuced to give up a measly pension for a A dvance should have given him every .: â€" A sum OL qUU risked Hlb life for his country and is now suffering wha a permanent disability.‘ Patriotie people will find little that sort of thing. There have been altogether too man discouraged soldiers have been induced to give up a miserly lump sum altogether madequate But The Advance would re%poctiull\ suggest to this is adopting the wrong attitude. He had good cause fe casm, but he is directing his temper to the wrong places. that it is agencms like the Legion that are W orking t« and to win him and his kind a fair deal. ‘Without the and similar organizations and individuals the situatior dier in general, shameful as it rei ally is, would be much ting out the hope stuff,"‘ The Advance believes that tl built on hope backed by work, and the same spirit of won the war will win the more grievous battle of the da vance still hopes, that with the earnest and neverâ€"failit and other similar forces, the returned soldier will eve and other harity advertising As for ‘‘Charity?‘" ‘There is no such thing as ‘‘Charity‘‘ in connection with the returned soldier! Anything that the returned soldier receives in the way of relief is but part payment of the debt that ten years ago we were all ready enough to acknowledge and proclaim. The truth is that the counâ€" try has made the saddest sort of mess of keeping up the instalments. The returned soldier writing to The Advance need have no qualimg about um-eptâ€". ing hetp of any kind. â€" He has fully earned anything he may receive, and he is simply collecting part of the debt as he happens to need the money. The returned soldier,â€"indeed, every man,â€"is entitled to the right of honest work. and this country will sup sorrow unless it takes steps to adjust conâ€" dition so that konest men may:â€"work at, honest and useful labour. The inâ€" terests of the returned soldiers have been more or less sidetrackedâ€"the folly of partizan politics. This will need to be remedied, and it is agencies like the Legion that will force the public consideration of such matters. At the present time the Legion is investigating the case of the writer of the letter quoted above, and if there is anything that can be done to assist him in any way it will be done. Certainly, he has earned in the completest way the right THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "CHARITY RETURNED SOLDIERS to a fair deal and a good place in life! General approval will be given to Mr. J. at Ottawa to secure a fair deal for North i of the taxation of Government railway pro the standpoint of equity or fairness, why not contribute the same as other enterprise: enterprises and improvements they benefit. General approval will be given to Mr. J. A. Bradette, M. P., in his efforts at Ottawa to secure a fair deal for North Land municipalities in the natter of the taxation of Government railway properties. There is no reason, from the standpoint of equity or fairness, why the Government railroads ‘should not contribute the same as other enterprises to the municipalities from whosge enterprises and improvements they benefit. â€" As The Advance has pointed out on more than one occasion the present exemption from taxation of Governâ€" ment railways means that the towns where the railways have property pay a double share of the cost of maintenance of the railroads in question. Cochâ€" rane is one of the town suffering <particularly from this unfairness. _ The people of Cochrane have enugh burden in supporting their own municipal works without being foreed to carry also the burden of the share that should be borne by the country at large. It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Braâ€" dette will be able to induce the Government to take the fair course in this _ THa Onearnment has already admitted a moral responsibility in the cCUse Can scdalt sÂ¥stem eflice Thursday, Feb. 9th, 1928 pJI Canada natter termed : are so many case w Montrea Member iter signs his name and address and here, because,The Advance believe ive his name known when he read:s It is not likely that he desires any Che Horrupine Advanre o of the people the opening of parhame cely avoid noting the ab s supposed to be designt f the Government to us ~Af the neonle of the ec i regulat The Government GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER nay pIt it the pIY TIMMINS, ONTARIO. of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association â€" Published Every Thursday b}' t red @OULl operty Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United States â€" $3.00 per year Telephones Residencse 70 demw 14 of the parliament ent fime appeal is sort 1 of men liament at Ottawa again, the ave ie abuse of the franking privilege ‘signed to permit members of par to use the mails free for service 1t general advantage, but the sysl mails for all sorts of political p med selfish business purposes.

The stuation was serious enough to demand some form f action, and the authorities in 1927 started such action. Every case of the lesertion of families was investigated and strenuous effort made to locate the deserter in the case. The town was ready to spend effort and money to the effenders. Only a few examples were required to make the deserâ€" tion of families unpopular. One man was brought back from Kirkland Lake, another from Windsor, Ont. . Others were located in Toronto and Montreal and other cities. In some cases the men concerned showed a disposition to support their families as soon as they found they could not avoid this duty and stay out of jail. â€"A couple of men were committed to jail for nonâ€"support, and the epidemic of wifeâ€"desertion abatéd at onee. It would be true economy for Montreal to spend practically unlimited time and money to locate and punish deserters of this type.

There is no official announcement in t the matter, and it may be that the present rumours have no more basis than the recent visit to Cochrane of Inspector Boyd of the Provincial police. 1t is to be hoped that the rumours are well founded, however, and that their promise will be fully implemented, and the cowardly murderer of Inspector Constable brought to justice. _ The murder of Inspector Constable was a direct challenge from the underworld to deceney and law. â€" It should not be allowed to rest unpunished.
