Gomorrahs, with men with hearts as hard as the rocks they drilled! What full-page spreads that made! Yet only a few days before when the cor- ner-stone was laid for the second big modern hos- pital in this supposed sinkhole of sin, with the cost of the hospital practically paid in advance by the hard-hearted fellows of the camp, the matter passed with but a few lines in the outside dailies. It tempts to thought of the various things that have been given big publicity by the outside press about this part of the North. Wild cats! Blind pigs! ? Last week newspapers all over Canada seemed to joyously extend free publicity to this North Land. The North did not need. nor desire that sort of publicity. But it was given just the same. That publicity showed how human the outside newspapers are. It suggested that they are not much in advance or their readers. And the way the North Land newspapers resented the publicity showed how human they are too. The Advance has persistently objected to the attitude of the mayor towards all town officials. His attitude. so far as it can be read from his ac- tions and expressions. is that all officials are al- ways wrong. He seems to expect them in every case to prove themselves right before he will even give grudging approval. It isa wrong attitude. For efficiency and the best of service, there must be some measure of support by mayor and coun- cil of their own choice in public servants. The administration of the town is big business to-day. It should be dealt with as such. Officials should be free to do their duty without fear or favour. and without any implication of threat in the. idea of “seeing the mayor.” Somebody said that the North was a sinkhole of sin and iniquity. full of modern Sodoms and It is easy to see that the practice of “seeing the mayor” is one that would lend itself to all sorts of abuses. Yet at the first meeting of the town council this year Mayor Bartleman practically begged anyone with a grievance against the police to appeal to him. This attitude made the work of the police committee this year much more difâ€" ficult and unpleasant than it need have been. Thanks to the fact that the chairman of the com- mittee had the courage to face the situation and spend his time and effort to see that the police as well as the public were given a fair deal, abuses were not permitted to develop from encouraging the idea of “seeing the mayor." The mayor has neither the right nor the power to try court cases. Indeed, there is nothing he can do about them in any fair way. All previous mayors, while ready enough to listen to any just complaint, made it very plain that they did not welcome appeals to them for any approach to interference with the police. If the police were not doing their duty, or were exceeding theirauthority. mayor and coun- cil naturally wished to know about it. This, how- ever, is a vastly different thing to soliciting com- plaints, or suggesting a willingness to listen to every story told by the disgruntled or the disaf- fected. The police would not have the chance of a Japanese if the procedure were established that every move on their part would be followed by somebody “seeing the mayor.” It would seem that the proper attitude would be for the council to have trustworthy officialsâ€"and then trust them! \W“ OMWW M A man in police court this week said that when he found that the police intended to lay a charge against him, he “went to see the mayor about it." The practice of “seeing the mayor" in such cases is not one to be encouraged. If the accused is in- nocent, he can safely trust the court and magis- trate to deal fairly with him. Indeed. The Ad- vance believes that he will seldom have to appeal further than to the police themselves. The aver: age clitzen will find the average policeman his; good friendâ€"anxious that no one is unjustly ac-i cused, and swayed by no improper or unfair mo-i tives. Any other sort of policeman should not be! tolerated on the force. There is nothing that thej mayor can properly do in such a case. Neither mayor nor council has any authority to interfere with the enforcement of the law. That is a matter that concerns the magistrate alone. And his quar- ter century of honorable and just dealings in his office shows that the issue may safely be left in his good hands. To put the matter on no higher plane. 1 it may be said that the time and temper of mayor, and council should not be wasted with complaints. of this kind. If the citizen has actually been guilâ€" ty of an offence or misdemeanor the case is still more objectionable. Neither mayor nor council. can do anything legally and fairly until the case' has actually come before the court. 1 Cloudsâ€"82.00 P0? Ymr TWINS.

That was for provincial political pur- poses. It didn‘t work. The present ballyhoo sug- gesting that the town may have a surplus of $6000 this year is equally so much ballyhoo. There will be no surplus at all. Indeed. it is likely that the deficit will be a serious one when the expendi- tures in connection with the town hall are con- sidered. A few months ago the mayor fairly raved at the public school board because the new school cost $20,000 more than the debentures issued for a. theft last week in North Bay. it shows that for wickedness beyond imagination. you must go else- where than to this North. The case in North Bay seems to be a veritable classic in the line of con- temptible thefts. A mother in North Bay left her baby girl in a carriage outside a Main street store while she did some shopping inside. When she re- turned to the baby in a few minutes, she found the child crying, and with bare hands. Someone had unfastened the safety pins with which the baby’s mittens had been attached to the youngster’s coat sleeves. The mittens had been stolen and carried away. Comment seems superfluous, except to say that for the sake of humanity’s standing it is to be hoped no meaner form of theft will be dis- covered in this vale of sin and crime.

Yet exactly the same situation promises to be the case in regard to the town hall. Ballyhoo Someone stole the baby carriage off a verandah on Birch street some weeks ago. and the unfor- tunate mother has had to carry her baby in her arms whenever it is necessary to make a trip up town. She has not even the comfort of thinking that some other baby is enjoying the carriage for part of the body of the carriage has since been found in the lane behind her home, the glass in the hood being taken away, the wheels gone, and the carriage generally wrecked. Though the po- lice were notified. the guilty party has not yet been discovered. It looks like one of the meanest thefts in the history of the town. But compared to Anyway Col. Sam Hughes once said a thing that the Nolth might heed. “Abuse me, did they.” queried the Colonel. “Well, that‘s not so bad as if they didn’t say a word at all!" The newspapers are human enough to want to give the people what they want and the readers are human enough to want to read what the news- papers g‘ive them. Anyway. it isn’t like as if the North couldn’t take it. It may be worse than blackflies or mosâ€" quitoes, but still the North can take it. grace! All these things make headlines for the news- papers of the North. But for the big dailies they are not sensational news like murders and drunks and wild talk. Public libraries. hospitals, theatres, stores, homes. hotelsma thousand and one other things worthy of note in this new land. Sinkhole of sin? Surely not Timmins!
