A Southern Ontario newspaper claims credit.for discovering the meanest man in the countryâ€"â€"t.he burglar who stole $13,000 in bonds from a poor felâ€" low on relief. That was mean all right! But all the honours for meanness do not go to the burglar in that case. Surely some outstanding measure of meanness must be admitted to the codger who had $15,000 in bonds and still would accept relie! Inoney money that comes at least in part trom poor foll who can ill afford it and who have théir own diffiâ€" culties in keeping off relief themselves. Sympathetic souls like Miss Macphail, MIP., or the late Reverend Mr. Woodsworth, also M.P., may claim that even these mean folks are not so mean as the people who belittle them. It is easy to imaâ€" gine Miss Macphail defending the burglar. The lady would prove that it was not meanness that made him take the bonds, but something wrong with his glands. And she would look at Hon. Mr. Bennett in a way that would leave the impression that she suspected him of passing around misfit glands to unsuspecting people in his spare time. Then Mr. Woodsworth would come to the defence of the man who took relief to save his capital of $13,000 in bonds. Until the economic system 1s changed, Mr. Woodworth will state solemnly, men will go on relief illegally and meanly, and kings will abdicate and the constitution of Canada will be threatened. Miss Macphail and Mr,. Woodsâ€" worth will agree that people who condemn burâ€" glars and chisellers are the meanest folks they know. action the authorities of the prison were practi> cally powerless and defenceless until assistance could be secured from outside. It does not josseft the silliness of the whole matter to say that agiâ€" tators were at work in the prison and that the discontent was fostered and fed by these selfâ€"seekâ€" ing fellows. Should there not be ways and mean§ to prevent prisoners creating trouble and unrest in their prison?

But the chief consideration has to be| safety and the well being of decent, la w â€" abldmg, people. There has been a wave of silly sent,lmenâ€"} tality that calls for the pampering of prisoners.| Attempt has been made to give them highâ€" â€"class | service and all the comforts of home, with a long line of luxuries added. The prisoner seems to be, picked out for special thought, special consideraâ€" tion, special solicitude. Instead of losing privi-' leges for breaking the laws of the land, there is a| tendency to make heroes and mothers‘ pets otl them.. As a large number of the lawâ€"breakers are} selfish, egotistical, neurotic, this attitude has the" unfortunate result of confirming them in the111 silly thoughts about their own importance and whatI they think society owes to them. They need} rather being brought up with a sharp turn to rea-} lize what they owe to others. The laxity of preâ€"| sentâ€"day methods is illustrated by the announce-i ment that all the prisoners who made their escapel during the trouble this week will go unpunished if | they will.only be so kind as to give themselves upi and return to their nice warm rooms and amplei meals. The question of attitude goes muth deeperi than the present case or even the matter of pri-i sons in general. It affects the whole outlook of life§ of the community. Unless there is a de01ded1 change in attitude it will be established as a fact; that the way to secure favours and privileges 1s. to break the laws and act in brutal and debtluc-' tive ways, desregarding all authority. It is not al Joke fo say. that this is the sort of thing thatl "makes communists. "It is an open invitation to all to flout law and order, and so be sure of pamâ€"| pering and attention. What is sadly needed these| days is some more open sympathy for the honest, the industrious, the lawâ€"abiding, and a little less care for the troublesome and the unworthy. At| the moment the taxpayer is the one deserving of l special thought and considerationâ€"he has to pay for â€"the "fun‘" of the froliecsome prisoners at Guelph. Sternest measures should be taken to impress on all at Guelph and elsewhere that first and foreâ€" most for consideration in this country come the lawâ€"abiding and the orderly, and that riot:in priâ€" son or outside will not be allowed to rule. ‘ and Mail on Tuesday read as follows:â€""Northern Ontaric is not going to secede for a while anyway.

Life Does Begin at Forty Mr. Bradette‘s career does prove that life really begins at forty. He went into the Cochrane district in his teens with a patk on his back, became a settler and by experience and perseverence wrested a fine farm from the virgin soil of New Ontario. He experienced all the vicissitudes of the settler and when the silver and gold booms hit the North Country he became a general merchant at Cochrane and again was successful. As the North Country developed. ycoung Bradettse expanded with it, and he found time to devote himself to pubâ€" lic affairs.
