made against the new last provincial electic too much of human ns ad Tories would not i new plates when they and so undesirable. Germany polled over 30,000,000 votes. No wonder the local politician says:â€"*"Some vote!" The same oddity may be noted about the voting in Austria. Recent conditions there prove that the man who would even hint that he might vote against the German invaders would know that he was risking not only his own life and safety but the welfare of all his family. In Austria, as in Germany, all the radio and press propaganda, and all the public meetings were on the one side. All the Jews were barred from voting, though they were among the leading citizens of Austria and had been largely responsible for the recovery of that country from the deplorable condition in which it was left after the war. Surely there are a few children too young to vote in Austria. Still out of a total population of less than seven millionâ€"a normal voting strength of less than 3,000,000 at the mostâ€"there were 4,243,884 votes credited as voting for the annexation of Austria by Germany. Again, it is to say: "Some vote!" children too young a total population normal voting stre the mostâ€"â€"there w size. The form of ballot openly insinuated to the voter that he had little free choice in the matter, if he valued his safety. There was a large circlei‘ on the ballot for those who wished to vote "yes", while the space left for a negative cross was small . indeed. Through the press, by radio, by meetings, and in other ways a campaxgn was waged to press | the duty of voting "yes." On the other hand the i minority opinion was allowed no expression of opinion, was permitted no radio time, no public! meetings, no press space, and no propaganda. In { view of all this, it is really remarkable that there | were 276,216 German voters who dared to mark | their ballots against the former paperhanger. Each ’ one of that gallant 276,216 no doubt has cause for | fear that more than paper is likely to hang by orders of the exâ€"decorator. As for the 47,620 baiâ€" ! lots classed as invalid, there will be a shrewd susâ€" | picion that they were not from any of the "yesâ€"| men.‘"* The total population of Germany is given | as slightly over 63 millions. A few of these be children below any reasonable voting age.§ Ssome of them must be in detention camps, and a | few others surely debarred from voting, for one reason or another. Jews in Germany were not permitted to vote, and that would reduce the votâ€" | ing strength a little more. Yet with all these deâ€"| ductions the figures suggest that fifty per cent. of i the total population voted, while fifty per cent. of § the qualified voters would be a good percentage. With a total population of 63,000,000, a voting streneth of 26.000,000 would be noteworthy.

The people of the province | , will look to Premier Hepburn to see that new markâ€" i I ers are suppliedâ€"markers that will not give crimâ€" i inals a premium for escape. Premier Hepburn has ‘ | shown great loyalty to the members of his cabinet» | | But it is surely apparent to him by this time that | ‘he owes loyalty also to himself and to the people, ; of the province. He stood by the folly of his forâ€"| ‘ mer attorneyâ€"general, and has paid the price since ’ in Communist inspired trouble. He gave the most : | generous support to another Minister, who smce! has shown how little loyalty he gave his chief m‘ return. The premier should recall these cases now, and take the sensible view that the limit of | loyalty should not be overstretched to the unnecesâ€" | f sary hurt of all. Premier Hepburn should not; | stretch loyalty to the foolish length of supporting | } } the silly obstinacy of refusing to admit that a misâ€" ; take was made in the matter of the 1938 license| | plates. The whole issue of this year‘s illegible | 3 plates should be recalled and new ones issued to | make more easy and more effective the protective I ' clauses of the traffic acts. ’ of the election should defend the pretty but illegâ€" ible markers. But there is much less excuse for any defence of the plates since the passing of the heat of the election. Town, city and provincial policeâ€"irrespective of politicsâ€"and other authoriâ€" ties of the law have pointed cut that the 1938 markers are most unsuitable, most undesirable, ‘make the enforcement of traffic laws much more difficultâ€"to put it very mildlyâ€"â€"and indirectly enâ€" danger life and limb and property by the unnecesâ€". sary advantage given those in cars who seem to. scorn the law. There is no possible benefit to the lawâ€"abiding motorist in these unsuitable plates.j and the consensus of opinion seems to be that. it would be good business on the part of the proâ€" ’vince to call in these defective license plates and 'replace them with more suitable ones that wxll1 !aid the enforcement of traffic laws. Tragic em-{ | phasis has been given to the need for new and. | legible plates by the death of one man and the | ;injury of others in Toronto on Saturday mght.i' ' | Leonard Hosty, 34 years of age, was fatally injured, | his wite was knocked down and suffered minor inâ€"| ?juries Mrs. Elizabeth Bruton was more seuouslvl hurt and her two little childrenâ€"Marjorie Bruton, | | aged four, and Allen Bruton, only a few weeks old,. | also suffered cuts and bruises of more or less seriâ€" ’ ous nature. The tragedy was due to a reckless | motorist who allowed his car to mount the curb,| run up on the sidewalk, and crash into these quiet and peaceful citizens who were making use of the sidewalk as they had both legal and moral right to | do. After knocking down the group on the sideâ€" l walk, the motorist, with a c@llousness that rousesl | | the ire of all, drove away and made his escape. Toronto newspapers tell of several people who witâ€" nessed the tragedy. These witnesses were able to describe the car, could even see the driver, but though comparatively close to the vehicle, were unâ€" able to secure the license number because of the illegibility of the 1938 Ontario auto markers. The Police Commission of Toronto have offered a reward of $500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the motorist responsible for the death of a husband and father and the wanton and senseless injury of the women and children. That suggests the horror and re:;ontment with which the people view the occurrence. Mayor Day, of Toronto, is urging the Government to comâ€" pensate those who suffered in this accident, beâ€" cause it is so patent that the imperfect markers for this year seem to preclude any opportunity for any other redress for the victims. It does appear that the Government has a special responsibility because imperfect markers can scarcely be viewed otherwise than as contributing negligence. To judge from the attitude of the Toronto newsâ€" papers the people of the city are roused by the horror of the tragedyâ€"the brutality of it â€"the callousnessâ€"the senselessness. It is to be hoped that the people stay arousedâ€"not only to see that justice is done, so far as it can now be dono to help the victims and to punish the guiltyâ€"but still more to reduce the chances for any similar traâ€" gedies in the future. The greatest preventative of such crimes is the knowledge that such things can not be done with impunity. As a first step *# ar s un A P O P PP ues B l ougâ€" snn un e THIS FREEDO! ts P P L ~ALP L PCPs : L P L.A P l wl L8 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINL, ONTARIOG incr cord A titled lady who attended a meeting of the reds and pinks had the audacity to wear a swastika on the lapel of her coat. There is no suggestion that she made any overt act or spoke a word. Maybe, she had noted the frequent communist parades with their insulting banners and their alien flags, and was illogical enough to imagine that the apostles of freedom would allow others the same liberty of expression that they loudly demanded for themselves. The lady, however, soon found her error. She was set upon by the mob, with crie.s of "kill her!" It took a squad of mounted police to rescue her in her own land of England. It is not necessary to travel to England for exâ€" amples of this sort. Timmins has had enough of them. Quebec has suffered along the same line. The difference is that Quebecâ€"does not intend to take it lying down. Quebec thinks democracy is worth enforcing laws in its defence. It might be well for sister provinces to let Quebec handle $70,000,00€ a year." Locoking toward ths future and, notâ€" ing that, as compared with the past, the roads of cpportunity to the south are closed, Mr. Cameron said: *"*‘The rcads to the North are open, and in the future the yunz przople of Queâ€" bec, Ontario and the four Western Provinzes must look to the North, and the mininz industry and its developâ€" ment in the North of all these Proâ€" vinces is our best guarantee of a genâ€" eral revival of prosperity." In that opâ€" timistic spirit, all Canadians may look hcpofully to the mining industry as a mainstay of Canadian development. XCOUuchIng â€"<In â€" th@ <~Course Oil_ AlItâ€"RACâ€" dress upon the mining industry generâ€" ally in the Dominion, the chamiber‘s president, Mr. A. Kirk Cameron, â€"said the country‘s mineral production in a period of 40 yearts ‘"rteaches the stagâ€" gering total of $2,500,000,€00, an averâ€" age over that long period of $60,000 000 a year. Canadian gold preoduction‘ in the pericd from 1917 to 1937, in terms cf the pressnt value of gold, totalled $1.500.000.000. or an average of about It is surely no fnore than common sense to say that for any measure of freedom of thought and speech and action, there must be some limit to these things, if the rights of others are to have any respect. Neither communists nor fascists allow others any rights at all in this respect. One of the most irritating things about the average communâ€" ist is his impudent demand for the right of free speech, while he absolutely refuses to allow such a right to any others. In London, England, this week there was striking evidence of this attitude.

BRA NCHES THROUGHOUT CANA DA There are over a thousand men in Timmins out of work and with little prospect of securing work. This would seem to argue against the idea of more men coming here seeking employment. It seems necessary to keep on repeating this warning. It applies with more or less force to all the North. Recently journals in Toronto carried flattering stories of the openings and opportunitics in Northâ€" western Quebec. The sequel to these stories seems to be a tale in last week‘s Rouynâ€"Noranda Press where the sad truth is told about an influx of young men into that camp seeking work. No work was found, and the young fellows had the discomfort of sleeping on the floor of the police station and leaving Rouyn later dispirited and disappointed. There is apportunity for capital invested in the mines of the North, but those coming here seeking opening1 in business or employment will find a badly overcrowded field. It would be well for all to recognize these facts. «tmssP PP AP ~I LAAA CAAA P0A (;RA\/ EL AND b ANDâ€"AND PL \LbR e se Tt PP Te * ces o m e may be depended upon to set the alien communâ€" ists in their place, and if after that is done the fascists bred by the evil acts of the reds will likely fade away for lack of true cause for existence.
