LAKE, Owner and Publisher Bubscription Rates: , Omnadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year In any case there has been a considerable fallâ€" ingâ€"out in regard to polities and the power quesâ€" tion in Ontario. Indeed, Ontario has experienced the greatest epidemic of fallingsâ€"out in the history of the province. First the Henry Governiment fell out of favour with the people, and then the governâ€" ment fell out of office. The Hepburn Government fell in with a dull, sickening thud. And history in Ontario since then has been a succession of dull, sickening thuds to mark the series of fallingsâ€"out. The private power companies fell out of friendship with the Hepburn people and woke up to find that all their contracts with the government had been repudiated. Hon. Mr. Hepburn fell over himself in upholding repudiation, but he fell out of grace with a large part of his followers when they disâ€". covered that it was just as much widows and orâ€" phans who were falling out of their money as it was the "power barons," if there be any such aniâ€" mals. Mr. Hepburn fell out of friendship with Préâ€" mier Taschereau of Quebec over this power quesâ€" tion, and then the premier of Quebec fell out of aflee though there is some reason to believe that "he was so materially assisted in his fall that it â€" partook of the nature of a throwâ€"out. Hon. Mr. apbur tell out with those who like a square deal sen it fell out that he was trying to keep the s concerned from appealing to the The world has come a long way since the first Christmas! Most people will be ready to admit that most of the progress that the world has made has been due to the Christmas spirit. Even the material advances, the wonderful inventions, the mechaniâ€" cal devices, the mighty business and industrial systems and developmentsâ€"not one of them could have been born without selfâ€"sacrifice, without thought for others predominant. Not one of them could have lived in a world given over altogether to selfishness and personal aggrandizement. None of the coâ€"operationâ€"on which alone can be built and maintained the intricate financial, industrial and business systems that are the very lifeblood of the modern worldâ€"would be pjoggiy_;e without goodwill and understanding. Sacrifice, service, goodwill, thought for othersâ€"these are the fibre of the Christmas spirit. One of the most serious trouâ€" bles in the world toâ€"day is the tendency to accept the material as greater than the spiritual.â€"It is a tragic error. The machine is not gréater than its maker. The wonderful devices of the modern day rust and break. The mighty buildings that dwartf the pyramids crumble and fall. The most solid of earth‘s material things prove frail before the hand of time. The history of the North gives apt illusâ€" tration of the truth of the thought of the inferiorâ€" ity of the material, Fire swept this country more than once and wrecked the mightiest, materials that the hand of man had made. But that was not the end. The spirit of the North was greater than the material, greater than fire, greater than disâ€" aster. All the material things that had been swept away were replaced by greater, because the spirit of adventure, of faith, of hope remained unconâ€" quered. What happened in ‘the North has hapâ€" pened in countless elsewheres, Earthquakes, floods, disasters, toss away the material growth of years, but there is always reâ€" building so long as the spirit remains. The present day is great, not because of the material progress, but in reality despite it all. A merry Christmas! The words ring through the worlida toâ€"day, as they have rung through the cenâ€" turies! And never has the world needed the words, the sentiment behind the words, or the truth beâ€" hind the sentiment, more than at the present Timmins, Ont., Wednesday, Dec. 23rd, 1936 At Christmas time people seem to realize all this. At this time of year men are not ashamed to admit that a happy child is a greater glory to.a nation than the latest in battleships; that the helping hand is a truer work of progress than the tallest skyscraper; that the material is a thing of limits, but there are no confines fgr_the spirit. Sentiment rules the world. When it doesn‘t it will be too bad for the world. dsc d t dlh t .. tnucs onl The world needs Christmas to-da:y:to avoid reâ€" peating the folly of Babylon, Rome Greece, Gothâ€" A merry Christmas to the world! The world needs itâ€"needs the goodwill, the jollity the freeâ€" dom, the friendliness, the joy Oof Yuletide. A merry Christmas to all! s ",‘”f m_oâ€" ‘_.‘-’ ’“‘f‘ s â€"It was Sir Matthew Hale, English ju j""a‘ée and hisâ€" torian, who said some three hundred Ws ago, that "when rogues fall out, honest men get into their own." That was before the libel laws got the way they are, so a more modern version may be necessary to apply the proverb. How would it be to say that "when honest men fall out, then rogues come into their own" ? Perhaps it might be as well to leave both verâ€" sions, letting the public take their choice, MERRY CHRISTMAS justice. One of the most flagrant fallâ€" outs was when Premier Hepburn fell out with the courts because they wouldn‘t fall in with his ideas, But all these fallâ€"outs fall into insignificance compared to the dull sickening thud last week when The Globe and Mail fell out with Hon. Mr. HKepburn and Hon. Mr. Hepburn replied by falling out with The Globe and Mail. The Globe and Mail says that Hon. Mr. Hepburn did wrong in repudâ€" iating the power contracts and that he should fall over himself to repair this grievous injustice that has not only meant loss to many innocent people, but has also caused injury to Ontario‘s good name and financial standing. Hon. Mr. Hepburn retorts by saying The Globe and Mail has become the tool of moneyed men, and that he is the lad who can take a couple of falls out of it. "That stuff‘s all right to fling at Tories and civil servants," is the boid comeback of The Globe and Mail, "but you are falling fast if you think you can get away with that sort of fallishness in this case." Then Mr. Hepâ€" burn takes another fall. It looks almost like a flop. "I have always been ready to discuss and conféer about this matter of power contracts," he conâ€" tends, as he extends a sort of invitation to the Quebec power companies to have now the quiet conference that should have been held years ago. â€" _ In Monday‘s Globe and Mail appeared a front page story of a Providence, Rhode Island, man who gave a ride to a transient on the road only to find that his passenger was a notorious pickpocket who had escaped from prison. The motorist was so alarmed at the possibilities of being alone in his car with such a passenger that he stepped on the gas. As a result he was stopped and given a ticket to appear in court for speeding. He was so upset by the incident that he forgot for a moment the ‘character of his passenger. Soon, however, he reached a town where his unwelcome passenger 'prepared to alight and leave him. The passenger thanked the motorist for the ride and told him not to worry about the charge of speeding. "Here," said the generous pickpocket, "I‘m tearing up the ticket, so you may go on and forget about it." "That‘s no good," was the motorist‘s reply, "the traffic officer put my name and number in his book." "That doesn‘t help him any or harm you," says the pickpocket, "begause I took his book when he was talking just before he let us go." It is a pretty good story. But it appeared in The Advance ‘a couple of months ago and in some other papers before that. It wasn‘t the same people or the same policeman, but it was the same pickpocket and the same story. Of course, there may be a gang of pickâ€" A fallingâ€"out between The Globe and Mail and the premier of Ontario is something to write about. The Toronto Telegram is just about hysterical over the matter. It isn‘t all joy for The Telegram, howâ€" ever. That newspaper can scarcely make up its mind whether to support The Globe and Mail with which it agrees on the question of repudiation, or to back Hon. Mr. Hepburn with whom it doesn‘t agree on anything. Accordingly, The Telegram has fallen out with both of them. The latest from The Telegram is that the alleged fallingâ€"out between the Globe and Mail and Mr. Hepburn is simply a fakeâ€"that the premier is only staging a shadowâ€" boxing contest to find an easy place to fallâ€"that the whole programme now is Hon. Mr. Hepburn‘s graceful way of paving the path to new contracts that wlil end the evil and injustice of reckless reâ€" pudiation without the implied fallâ€"down of adâ€" mitting that the premier of all Ontario could make a single mistake. Will the people fall for it? Still more important is the question:â€"*‘"When rogues fall out, do honest folks get their due?" and the alternate question:â€""When honest men fall out, do the rogues get a fair show at the pickings?"

Premier Hepburn is credited with making the astounding statement that there is now "virtually no relief in the North, except in one or two cenâ€" tres." If there are one or two centres in the North free from the need for relief disbursments, it will be a surprise to all here. The two most prosperous centres in the Northâ€"Kirkland Lake and Timmins â€"are certainly still burdened with relief, and reâ€" lief that is chiefly for those who came to the North after the depression hit the rest of the country. It may be that Mr. Hepburn meant that his governâ€" ment is bearing little share of relief in the North except in one or two cases. If this is what he meant it is no credit to him or his government, for the North is still suffering from the necessity for reâ€" lief. In this part of the North, Timmins and Tisâ€" dale have carried a burden of relief far beyond what was fair. They are still carrying it. It seems sometimes that Hon. Mr. Hepburn never opens his mouth but that he says something that will not stand the light of truth or reason. A Merry Christmas to The Globe and Mail, Hon. Mr. Hepburn, The Toronto Telegram, Hon. Mr. Roebuck and the Quebec Power Companies. But they seem to be having it themselves already. To one and allâ€"sincerelyâ€"all togetherâ€"a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
