All of this must be very confusing to Hon. Mr. King who is busy enough now using other figures to indicate who should be in the new cabinet. However, he may have figures of his own to prove anything he likes. Most people have. By the way, Hon. Mr. King could use the election figures to good effect in regard to the 160 odd names menâ€" tioned for his new cabinet. He could rule out a large number of them by simply proving by the figures that they represented only the minority in their constituency, either through the votes cast for the five or six other candidates running in the election, or because of that great silent vote that stayed at home on election day. Speaking of the voters who were not voters beâ€" cause they did not vote, there is a vast field of speculation opened up in considering the election returns with this large body in view.. There were only 3,325,431 electors who voted on Monday, Oct. 14th, yet there were fully six million entitled to vote. Listening to the howl made by the few who believe they should have had the privilege of votâ€" ing but were debarred from exercising their franâ€" chise because their names were not on the lists, it is interesting to turn to the fact that there were over two millionâ€"and a half who could have voted who neglected to do so. There is a fertile field fon figuring, surely! It would be easy to prove from i the figures that the Liberals and the nonâ€"Liberals, the Conservatives and the nonâ€"Conservatives, not.l to mexntion "all others," were all in the m‘inority, This good Conservative figurer goes further. He quotes the total votes polled in Canada, 3,325,451, and the total seats in the House, 245. With these figures it is as easy as voting for the wrong man to show that the average number of votes per seat is 13,600. If the votes were allocated on this basis the result would be that the Liberals would have oniy 110 seats, while the nonâ€"Liberals would have 144. As a climax to the use of the figures, this figuring friend points out that 544 per cent. of the Canadian voters voted nonâ€"Liberal. These careâ€" fully compiled figures appear to suggest that there could have been no Liberal landslide, or if there were such an article it must have up the hill, not down. But there was one good Tory who would not let figures be twisted, that way. He wrote to The Toronto Mail and Empire to show just what the figures did say. According to this gentleman they say plenty. The total number of votes for the Liberals, he notes is only 1,507,679, while the Conâ€" servatives, the Stevens men, the C. C. F.â€"ers, the Social Credit gentlemen, and all others, all of these nonâ€"Liberal party votes total the magnifiâ€" cent sum of 1,817.752â€"a grand total majority of 310,073 against the Liberals. So, again, the Libâ€" erals are a minority government. The figures tell the story. E. votes, plus 101,160 Social Credit votes, plus 66,848 votes for all other, makes a total of 2, 309,457 votes for the antiâ€"Conservatives as against a measly 1,016,974 for the Conservatives, Why the Conserâ€" vatives were beaten more than two to one! The figures pictured the poor trembling Tory with a Liberal on each side, and a third of a Stevens man before him andâ€"a quarter of a C.C.F.â€"er behind him! Poor old Tory! he was crushed, choked, suffocated. done for ever+more! t Had it been known just what might be done with that table of figures, there would have been a tenâ€" dency to suppress it in the interests of humanity and for the onward march of truth. First, a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper at once used tne figures to prove that the Conservatives were badly beaten. It was done this way:â€"1,507,679 Liberal votes, plus 334,411 Stevens votes, plus 299,359 C. C. present time election figures are being freely used to show that the people favoured the Conservatives, the C. C. F.â€"ers, the Stevenites and others. They have even been used to make it apâ€" pear that the Liberals won the election on Oct. 14th In the issue of The Advance after the election a table of figures was given to indicate by proâ€" vinces and parties the way the people voted. In this table it was shown that a total of 3,325,431 votes was cast in the election. Of this vote, 1,507,â€" 679 electors voted for Liberal candidates, 1,016,.974 for Conservative candidates, 334,411 for the Steâ€" vyens candidates, 299,359 for the C.C.F., 100,160 for Social Credit and 66,848 for all others, the latter apparently not being particularly popular in this country, though if each one of these other party candidates had received a dollar for each vote cast they would together have had nearly enough to have paid the deposits lost in the election.

They ha pear that the Libe In Renfrew on one occasion some years ago two prominent public men appeared to prove directly opposite cases by quoting from the same governâ€" ment blue book. One Renfrew gentleman comâ€" menting on the performance remarked: â€""Well, you know, between algebra, trigonometry, geoâ€" metry, calculus and politics, you can make figures tell you anything you want somebody else to know." Figures once had a reputation for never telling liés, but in this charming world figures are lonely things. s TIMMINX®, ONTARIO Members Ciqradian Weekly Newspaper Association: Ontarin Quebe® Newspaper Association: Class "A" Weekiy Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONFEGS........._ RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: Timmins, Ont.. | Thursday, Oct. 24th, 19 l Che Yorotmpine Aduanrce â€" ACCOMMODATING FIGURES UEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher _ Subscription Rates: 0 Per Year Uniteg Statesâ€"$§3.00 Per Yeatr Tory! he was crushed, choked, for. ever+more! one good Tory who would not let _ is Thanksgiving Day, and the event '15 to be observed by union church services in churches of the Porcupine Camp. In this senâ€" tence is suggested the real purpose of Thanksgivâ€" !ing Day. That purpose seems to have been largely iforgotten in the discussion as to whether the day !should be observed on a Monday or a Thursday. rThe average man being psychoâ€"analyzed about uanksgiving Day apparently would associate the occasion with "holiday," "hunting," "pumpkins," "harvest," "turkeys," and "trips home." One of the chief arguments against the Thursday holiday was that it did not assist in people going "home for Thanksgiving." As a matter of fact home gatherâ€" ings for Thanksgiving were more popular and freâ€" quent years ago when Thanksgiving Day was held on Thursday and the railroads gave special excur- sion rates, good to return on the following Monâ€" day. There would have been less criticism of the government in the matter of the date for the holiâ€" day if all had clearly understood that Thanksgivâ€" have the protection of the law. If the facts are as stated by The Telegram there should be general approval of the attitude of that newspaper in battling for a vital principle of British justiceâ€" the principle that the law is for all and over all. British justice, however, prides itself on placing peanut vendors and princes on the same plane beâ€" fore the law. In Britain not one newspaper alone but hosts of newspapers would consider it their duty to see that the humble as well as the great Under the usual British ideas and ideals,.the peanut vendor would receive as full attention of the law as the prominent citizen. As a matter of actual practice law procedure in Britain seems to be more severe on the rich man than the poor. It should not be that this open preference for the interests of the humble against the prominent is often carried to the point of unâ€" fairness and injustice. There have been recent cases in London where two men charged with similar breaches of the law received unequal treatâ€" ment, the prominent suffering extra penalty, apâ€" parently for no other reason than for being proâ€" minent. Whether this is British justice is anâ€" other question. nz D million voted for the private party of Hon. Mrâ€" Stevens. But two million and a half electors did not vote at all. Is it any wonder that there apâ€" pears to be confusion as to which party won the election. Despite all this, however, The Advance has the that the Liberal party won a deâ€" cided victory, and that all the figures that may be quoted to the contrary are nothing more than a comfort in time of trouble. According to the reasoning of some people the only party that really achieved power in the last elecâ€" tion was the nonâ€"voting party, these passive peoâ€" ple showing a clear majority over each of the major parties. And in reference to proportional representauon.' how could the nonâ€"voter be properly represented? And if the nonâ€"vote party continues to gain strength until eventually it represents a majority of all the voters, then what to do? In all the figuring about what the figures of the election mean, every lesson and moral seems to have been emphasized but the one that seems to stand out like a handful of sore thumbs. A milâ€" lion and a half people voted for the Liberals. A million voted for the Conservatives. A third of a hurch holid no other THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS ONMTaARIO Hon.

And toâ€"morrow they have a whole day to think of what fihey should be thankful for. The Liberals should be thankful for the victory recently achieved. Then the Conservatives may be thankful it wasn‘t any worse. Probably it is something to be thankful for to be relieved of all the responsibilities at this time. Even Hon. Mr. Stevens has cause for thanks. He might have lost the one member of his party. Those who lost their deposits in the election may well be thankful these days that they could raise the money to drop. There are some who may thoughtlessly imagine that they have nothing to be thankful for. Some of these people should be thankful for the fact that they are alive. It gives them further chance to avoid being sad for a long time.. There is no one who has nothing to be thankful for. No matter how unfortunate the situation, it might be worse. Anyway, everything is looking better, and that is something for which to give thanks. | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER ; excuse for being.

One evidence ‘of this is proven by a picture published elsewhere in this issue, showing a crowd of citizens wishing to pay water rates but forced to line up on the street in a long line to be able to have opportunity for this necessary purpose. Another evidence of the inadequacy of the accommeodation at the town hall was given at the meeting of business men and women on Monday evening. There were only seventy present for the event but there was not room enough even for that number. Some had to stand up, others had to crowd the doorways, others had to forego the meeting altogether for lack of room. A new building seems very necessary to provide proper accommodation for the citizens of 9Y pointee without any outside suggestion.

It was to the effect that Jos. A. Bradette, who has served the North and Canada so effectively during the past nine years, should be one of the new minisâ€" ters. He would prove an asset to the new cabinet and a credit to the administration. He would ably carry on the notabkle reputation for capability and public service made by another Northerner as ‘"Minister from the North." Hon.
