at the polls should be placed above the law in reâ€" gard to the rights of man. It is absolutely contrary to the ideal concept of justice and freedom that men should be debarred from recourse to the courts. A law that refuses men the right of apâ€" peal to the courts is in itself a covert blow at jusâ€" tice and equity. Attorneyâ€"General Roebuck was responsible for the passage of confiscatory legisâ€" lation and other laws that left the victims without the right of appeal to the courts to decide the is-i‘ sue. "I think the lawyers of Canada, and, in parâ€"| ticular, the Canadian Bar Association, should take a firm stand for the future that any legislation deâ€" nying to any man the right to seek fjfustice is conâ€" also whether the people in general see the menace to justice in the present prevalence of the idea that a political group that happens to be successful The address last week by Senator J. W. de B. Farris, K.C., of Vancouver, B.C., at the 23rd annual meeting of the Canadian Bar Association held in that city, may remind the people of Canada of the part that the legal profession may take in preseryâ€" ing liberty and democracy. Senator de B. Farris said that justice for Canadiars is particularly menaced by three threats undermining progress. First, there is the growing tendency to interfere with the independence of the judiciary. Second, there is the extension of the principle of refusing access to the courts. Third, he classed the growth in number and power of administerial tribunals exercising judicial powers. Ontario had a sample of interference with the courts in the time when. Hon. A. W. Roebuck was attornmneyâ€"general of this province. Not only was political partyism then put forward as a test for judicial fitness, but this was followed by instructions of one sort or another to the lower courts, suggesting a subservience to the political powersâ€"thatâ€"be that could not be other than a complete negation of the freedom of the courts. It is a comforting thing for Canadians and other Britishers to realize that the present attorneyâ€"general of Ontario has a much more British conception of the freedom that is necesâ€" sary to the lower courts in carrying out their imâ€" portant duties. At the time, it is doubtful if the people in general realized the danger in the Roeâ€" buck attitude to the courts and the loss of the rights of justice that it implied. It is doubtful The New Liskeard Speaker "regrets" that there has been an argument between The Advance and The Cochrane Northland Post as to where responâ€" sibiity rests for taking the initiative in showing the Ontario Government that the T. N. 0. exâ€" tension north of Abitibi Canyon should not be abandoned. There is no cause for any "regret" in l the matter. Everything has worked out well. Folâ€" l lowing the suggestion of Premier Hepburn that, the extension might be abandoned, there was an! ominous silence in the North. It is true that there were one or two faint public remonstrations, but they were so feeble and so questioning as to be almost propaganda for the abandonment of the line. The Advance expressed itself flatly as opâ€" posed to any abandonment, and it seems that The Cochrane Northland Post did likewise, though The Advance missed the issue of The Post with the ediâ€" torial objecting to the abandonment. Believing that any abandonment of the extension would be] false economy for the T. N. O. and that it would | also retard the development of the country, The Advance was afraid that injury might result to the North unless the government realized that the North was strongly opposed to any thought of abandonment of any part of the railway. In case no one took such a standâ€"if the matter were alâ€" lowed to pass without discussionâ€"if emphasis| were not given to the resources and possibilities|â€" of the country north to Moosoneeâ€"the governâ€" ment would have full excuse for going on withl plans for abandonment. In other words what The Advance feared was that the government would take "silence" as "consent." Cochrane had led in the propaganda that resulted in the building of the extension. It seemed logical to ask Cochrane., with all the data in the matter in hand, to lead in the propaganda that would mean the maintenance| j of the extension. It certainly is not a matter for regret that The Cochrane Northland Post has been stirred to reâ€"affirm faith in the North to Moosonee and beyond, to speak of the potential wealth of the country, and to oppose in straight fashion any thought of any abandonment of any part of the railway line. Individuals and organizations have| . taken similar attitude. The Advance understands ; that strong representations have been made to the government against any idea of abandonment of any part of the extension. There will likely be| s only a restricted service on the T. N. O. north of | t e j I 1 I 1 E t Abitibi Canyon, but it is believed that there will be no abandonment, but rather that further efforts will be encouraged in the matter of developing the ; g country north of Cochrane, to the advantage not| o only of the North, but of all Ontario. n Subscription Rates Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year.

There should be just as ready approval when valuable service is | given the public. This is said with special thought of the meeting last week in the town hall at Timâ€" mins when an address was given and motion picâ€" lture films shown with the purpose of increasing public interest in Ontario‘s forest wealth and doâ€" ing something to save the province from further unnecessary loss from forest fires. From every standpoint the meeting was of great value, and those responsible deserve a word of special praise for publicâ€"service. The meeting was under the joint auspices of the Canadian Forestry Associaâ€" tion and the Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forests. The speaker for the occasion, Mr. R. A. Carman, of the Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forests, knew his subject very fully and was able to present the case { for the forests in interesting and effective way. He made it clear that it is to the interests of every man, woman and child in Ontario to help preserve the forests. To allow the destruction of the forests would be to ruin agriculture, cripple industry, ‘! eliminate fish and game, blot out beauty. The by the pictures shown. The story made so clear by the meeting Friday evening is one that has been repeated for years by the Canadian Forestry Asâ€" sociation and told time and again by the Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forests. There was something particularly impressive and effective in the joint presentation. The Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forests has confined its presentation of the case to those actively and directly concerned with the | forestsâ€"the lumbermen, settlers, prospectors. The |Canadian Forestry Association has occupied 2 PW larger field, making particular appeal to the genâ€" Jeral public, and seeking to make Canada "forest | conscious," with a wide body of public opinion to 1 support progress in the methods for the preservaâ€" / words of the speaker were proven and emphasized | tion of the country‘s forest wealth. Combined, as| they are on the present tour of the North, the two| viewpoints should present an almost irresistable| force for forest conservation and the removal of| | the forest fire menace. Meetings have been heldfl this year, and the graphic motion pictures shown, ‘ at centres where the audiences were chiefly workâ€"| . ers in the woods. Other meetings have been held 1 in towns like Kapuskasing and Iroquois Falls| , where the very lives: of the places are bound fip', with the preservation of forest wealth. Still other ‘ meetings, in towns like Timmins and Kirkland ; Lake, where the connection between the forest inâ€"| } | dustries is not so direct, will rouse interest and thought that are sure to have beneficial effect. As| ; a matter of fact, Timmins and Kirkland Lake are very vitally concerned in forest welfare. So, too, Senator Farris called upon all lawyers to dediâ€" cate themselves anew to the cause of justice as a public service. If they take the advice earnestly and fully it will mean a great advantage for the country and at the same time it will result in addâ€" | ing statux;e to the standing of the legal profession , in the public estimation. There is a popular idea that the legal profession has little regard for abâ€" ’stract justiceâ€"that it is simply a case of taking ’whichever side appears to present itself and has the price to pay. A former police chief of Timmins was accustomed to go so far as to maintain that lawyers were responsible for miscarriage of justice and the defeating of the law. He would quote cases to prove the truth of his claims. The truth, however, is that in the main the legal profession,. like other callings and professions, has a majority of honest and earnest men, seeking the best for the public and for human progress. They may prove all this to the public if they will give the necessary leadership in opposing the infringeâ€" ments upon right and justice, too common toâ€"day in the striving after easy and quick routes to achieve ends that may not actually prove as deâ€" sirable as they seem. Senator Farris showed by his address that there are lawyers who look on the law with broad vision that keeps the rights of man in the front view. The applause given his address suggested that his views were popular in the legal profession. It remains now for the men of the law, by their attitude and expression of opinion, to give leadership and support in the battle to mainâ€" tain and extend the rights of all to justice and to access to the courts of the land. trary to the fundamentals of our democracy," said Senator Farris, "and is a challenge and a threat to our free institutions,. It is our duty to fight this sort of thing to the limit""‘ Of course it is the duty of every British titizen to oppose these unâ€"British invasions on the rights of men. But it is particuâ€" larly a duty of the legal profession. Indeed, if the legal profession had been as alert, as patriotic and «s sincere as they might have been, the tendency ’along the lines referred to would not have develâ€" oped to the extent they have. In the first place, the members of the various lawâ€"making bodies have a large proportion of lawyers. The men trained in law know the implications of the legisâ€" lation referred to. They should oppose it on every \becasion as unsound and undesirable from the British standpoint. Indeed, if they showed the | complete opposition proposed by Senator Farris, it would not be possible to enact this offensive type of law. There would be no one to draft it. All leâ€" Igal authorities would counsel against it. If the legal profession marked all such legislation as "un ethical," it would be difficult, indeed, to see how it ‘ could be passed in the legislatures of the country. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Carl Sherman, of Utica, N.Y., found a crow with a broken wing, and in humane kindness took the bird home and cared for it until it was fully reâ€" covered. He released it then, but the crow came are agricultural centres like Cochrane and New Liskeard. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a town of any size in Canada that does not have a much greater stake in the forests than is generâ€" ally realized. The motion pictures and the address by Mr. Carman made this clear beyond question. If the general public fully realized the value of the forests to every branch of life and industry, there would be such a volume of public opinion in supâ€" port of the right treatment of the forests that noâ€" thing else would be possible. The present tour unâ€" der the joint auspices of the Canadian Forestry Asâ€" sociation and the Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forâ€" ests is a valuable and important service that deâ€" serves a special good word because of its educative and enlightening worth in building public opm- ion to a realization of what the forests really mean to this country. | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Bourke, 25 Murâ€" dock avenue, have returned from holiday spent in Toronto, North Bay, Mattawa, Renfrew and Pembroke.
