Another Letter on Transients in Town Northern â€" Prospector Writes Aga About How the Transients Shou‘!‘d be Treated Here. W 1. You say that I want to add reâ€" sponsibility on the mines, which have already done their share for the un employed. This is not in my letter tC you. Timmins, Dear 8 2. You say that my plan is nelâ€" ther practical nor fair to the men. I do not question that you are entitled to your opinion, although there are men in camp who have handled labour for decades in this and in other minâ€" Yersa 3. No one is asking the min 4. You say that it is false sentiment to place the responsibility on the muniâ€" cipalities, when it is plainly to be seen that my suggestion means to relieve the municipalities. Of course if you mean that I try to burden the municiptalities by my saying that a decent man should not be allowed to starve, I admit that T have said that, and I shall always uphold it. 6. What do you mean by saying that o far as the responsibility for the unemployed is concerned, all the senâ€" timental talk in the world will not place it at the door of either municiâ€" palities? ‘The fact remains that such urgent responsibility is placed at the d4oor of every community and every sees house on fire, would he not be expected to ring the fire alarm, rouse the neighbours, and also give his own help toward putting out the fire? The answer would be affirmative, that he is expected by all citizens to perform good citizen, whether we welcome it or not.

Replying to the above The Advance would say that the letter last week was not misrepresented. It was published as written, and the criticism was fair if the language of the letter meant what it said. "Northern Prospector," for a man who sets out to critizize others appears specially sensitive to criticism himself, which is not an unâ€" common situation. If the proposal in the letter was what it purported to be then the suggestion was that the men sse duties, which are his, not direclâ€" fut indirectly, and ethically. ‘Vhy does this man, instead of going his home as he had intended, rush the rescue of the burning house, e people in it, the neighbours, the aste town which is in danger? The iswer is that this man‘s virtues, such common sense, human instincts, aristian spirit, would not allow him _ yiass danger unheedingly. From is we can see there are causes for erything,â€"one causes the danger, iother causes the rémedy; one caused e another provided the man to aid the extinguishing of it. If this man id rebuked his common sense and id: "This is the responsibility of the »ner of the building and the fire rigade," and the fire had caused great mace t~a and loss of life, TIC at the mines here allow take their work for part This would mean one of either the men now em have to work for less 1 lumb? 11 i1 the he proverb says that the most thâ€"while deeds are those done in proper way and in the proper time. l v The Advance maintains that the ;ornment is responsible for the care the unemployéd, the transients, but st people realize that the Governâ€" nt is acting like the citizen who ild pass a burning house unheedâ€". iy. What are we going to do about ant a«s thmich we were deaf and e sure of either one man will either > to death and be d moralized perhaps t and become a pub bu 1t 3 BT: suggestion wWas that the men ines here allow transients to c work for part of the time. id mean one of two things:â€" e men now employed would work for less wages, Of the d the peopic owner of the the oppor| his common ho OuU his, not directâ€" sh man wh ortunity an of the town building, the hem mines would have to pay more money. As most of the men now employed here do not feel that they have any margin of wages they can spare and continue to keep their families, and as the mines are not ready to pay more money for the same amount of work, the proposal of "Northern Prospector" is surely noiâ€" ther practical nor fair. As for "Norâ€" thorn desiring to relieve thern Prospector" desiring to relneve the municipalities his last letter startâ€" d out with criticism of the mayor of Timmins because the latter had planâ€" ned to give transient unemployed here one meal per day. No one is any more anxious than ‘"Northern Prospector" that men should be allowed to starve to death. That was the reason for supplying the meal per day. Men who had refused work were naturally barâ€" red even from the meal per day. The Advance rerfpats that the municipaliâ€" ties have no responsibility for the plight of the transients who have been warnâ€" 1‘ tar"" . nat â€"tn ~Crowa . in here. ing them if th hn nything t rese transi¢ Mr. and Mrs. J.

At that time his own boys were in the school but even when his own | children were past school age his inâ€" | terest in the welfare of the children of the community never abated. Each child of the district and each teacher of the staff were to him a personal inâ€" terest for which he gave his time and thought unstintedly. He had high ideals for the comfort and betterment of both. If in the judgment of some he ever erred, it was with the view of siving more opportunities to the pupiis and more comforts to those employed to look after them.
