In view of the voting in faâ€" vour of a strike, it is foolish surely to say, "There can be no strike!‘ In a news item published elsewhere in this issue ' the casual remark is made that "Timmins does not lt.ake seriously the threat of a strike on the T. N. 0. Railway." That attitude seems to be a nationâ€" wide one in regard to the danger of a railway strike. Is it a wise attitude to assume? Would it not be better for the public to inform itself in the matâ€" ter, to bring pressure to bear on the governments !and others concerned to make it certain that the men will be fairly treated? If the railwaymen are given a square deal, there will be no strike, or even The Ontario budget is millionâ€"dollar surplus f0 the fact it would be a si ‘tence of the Ontario go prove that the administr rageous mistake in their lover-taxed the people to The Globe and Mail says:â€""A proposed change in the Ontario Statutes declares that every person deemed to be a luniatic shall be deemed to be menâ€" tally incompetent, thus emphasizing the fact that lunatiecs are none too bright." Sounds crazy to us. A corporal in the British Army is reported as having been placed on trial by courtmartial for accepting a small fee for serving hot tea to the privates in his company before they got out of bed in the mornings. What on earth is the world coming to? Recently there was a motion picture called "The Devil‘s a Cissy." That was disappointâ€" ing enough, but if a British corporal is also a "clsâ€" sy" and making "cissies" of his men, the only hope for real men lies in the good old sergeantâ€"major. There was a solid bloc of thirteen Liberal party members in the Ontario Legislature, but now there are only twelve. Premier Hepburn is responsible for this slight change, just as he will be responsible for the greater change in that solid bloc that is coming soon. As usual with matters of concern to the North Land the proposed new train service between Timâ€" mins and Toronto was announced in The Advance several days before any other newspaper had any reference to it. The experts seem to be having a GilliGcuit Uimne deciding on a suitable "national flower‘"‘ for Onâ€" tario. The Toronto Telegram suggests the onion as a tribute to the present premier Of Ontario. There are other suggestions equally useless. It may be repeated in passing that the "national flower‘"‘ of the North Land is the haywire. This useful plant is used in the North for mending cverything from linotype machines to road culâ€" I{f people in general had a keen sense of humour, they would find much to laugh about. Perhaps they do. For instance, the same government that established and maintains the beer parlours, solemnly announces that bingo is illegal if the "house" receives a rakeâ€"off. The Ontario budget is supposed to show a seven millionâ€"dollar surplus for the year. If that were the fact it would be a sign of the utter incompeâ€" tence of the Ontario government, for it would prove that the administration made such an outâ€" rageous mistake in their calculations that they overâ€"taxed the people to the extent of seven milâ€" lion dollars. With the people taxed beyond the limit. there are few things these days more objecâ€" tionable than imposing unnecessary taxes.
