ing to follow the effect of their reading into their thoughts and attitudes. The exigencies of space make short words necessary in headlines. If there is no short word at hand for the needed meaning, the tendency is to coin a word to suit the case. Often th® made word does not convey the exact The late Will Rogers used to say that all he knew was what he read in the newspapers. Others may not be so frank about the matter, but it is the fact that newspapers do exercise a very material inâ€" fuence upon public thought and opinion. This may not be any particular compliment to the power of the press, in view of present conditions in the world, but the newspapers have to accept the bitter with the sweet, like any other institution.. No one who watches the daily trend of thought with any particular care can fail to be impressed with the influence that the headingâ€"writer has on human speech and habits. There are people who boast that they "only read the headings," and if they are truthful in this claim, it will be interestâ€" as possible, with the interests of the law and the public in view. The nature of the payments and the circumstances under which they are made are such that there can be no publicity about their accounting. It is pleasing to know, however, that not only the present chief of police, but the full line of chiefs of police in Timmins in the past, earned by character and trustworthiness the right to be fully trusted to deal with this special fund in all honesty and public spirit. » It is only fair to state that the present chief of police may be trusted fully to use this money only in legitimate way and to expend it as infrequently There is a general dislike for the use of the inâ€" former, the "spotter." That is all very well up to a certain point. It should be remembered, howâ€" ever, that the judge, the magistrate, the chief of police and the members of the force share in the dislike for improper methods of "spotting." But those who are entrusted with the enforcement of the law have had it forced upon them that some measure of the use of paid outside help is occaâ€" sionally necessary to fully uphold the law. It should be noted that in Timmins the use of "inâ€" formers," "spotters," "special agents"â€"call theni what you willâ€"has been infrequent and cautious. Few towns in the North spend as little for this purâ€" pose as does Timmins. But the fact remains that if the law is to be fully enforced there is the odd occasion when some money must be expended for help outside the regular police channels. This beâ€" ing the fact there should be provision made for the payment of accounts of this nature. Either that, or increase the salaries of the chief of police: and the men on the force so that they will be able to defray these necessary special expenses. But that does not mean that the man who does it should be expected to do it free, any more than h should work at an unpopular job, like scavenger work, without a wage. When it is understood that this money is not paid for simply giving th police information in regard to lawâ€"breaking, but for presenting information and facts that assist ir securing a conviction, it is not difficult to see that the gathering of the necessary evidence requires time and effort, and there are few citizens ready to give time and effort without some return. Mayor Bartleman was perfectly r}ght,, however, when he claimed that every wellâ€"conducted poâ€" lice force finds it necessary to use "informers‘" to some extent. He was equally within the fact also when he suggested that it would be impossxble to fully enforce the law without some recourse to the use of outside talent. He might have gone further and explained that the money in question is not always for ‘"informing‘" or "spotting‘"‘ but rather for gathering information that takes time and efâ€" fort. Because this sort of work is not popular does not mean that a man should do it without a wage A little study of the situation will convince anyone that there are times when the regular police have to call on outside aid to perfect a case. It does not seem unreasonable to pay for such services. Peoâ€" ple in general do not like to do this sort of work. Anyone who makes the old proverb read, "What‘s medicine for the horse is medicine for the mare," will be amused to see the mayor defending the use of money for "informers" and othéer special police business. It is within the memory of all when his attitude on the question was much more anâ€" tagonistic and unreasonable than that of Counâ€" cillor Roberts and other councillorsâ€"who opposed this sort of payment at a private session of council last week. There was a time when Mayor Bartleâ€" man made all sorts of representations about "spotâ€" ters" and the money used to pay them. If memâ€" bers of the council have misconceptions as to the uses of this money, Mayor Bartleman can in large measure thank himself and the way he talked when it suited his book.

Shortâ€" ly after their arrival in the Western penitentiary there was an abortive riot. The authorities, howâ€" ever, were able to stop the demonstration, because they were prepared for the trouble. The men who engineered the prison riot are now quoted as sayâ€" ing that recently prisoners in Canadian penitenâ€" tiaries had been given material concessions, folâ€" lowing the investigation into Canada‘s penitenâ€" tiary system, and their idea was that if they made some more trouble they would be given still furâ€" MAYOR‘S OWN MEDICINE IN THE HEADLINES United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Yea:! Noting some of the building operations in proâ€" gress at the present time, a correspondent of The Advance writes to ask:â€""Hasn‘t the town of Timâ€" mins a building byâ€"law?" The answer is:â€"‘"Sureâ€" ly, friend! Two of themâ€"one for mayors, and one for exâ€"mayors. Have patience, friend! The new building byâ€"law will be passed in due courseâ€" when the mayor and his friends complete their building operations." So far this year the council has neglected the business of appointing a cemetery board. The matter should be dealt with at once, so that the cemetery board may be fully organized and ready to act next year, and thus avoid the disgrace to the town from the continuance of the present conâ€" ditions at the Timmins cemetery. Some of the councillors last week conducted an investigation into an account of $50. How about smelling out the smells around the town park and the thousands expended there, and finding out who is responsible for all the bad smells along the river front these murky days? It may be that there are hopes that the odors from the park may be drowned in the smells from the property filched from Mr..Wilson. This should not be. Each rank smell should be made to stand on its own merits. There should be no mixing of odors. The citizens of Timmins should not imitate the man who ate garlic to hide the smell of beer on his breath. A still worse odor clings around the town‘s own park further down the river. Indeed, the town‘s own park has two odorsâ€"one, the natural or unâ€" natural smell that drifts across from the town disposal plant and makes the park so malodorous that people refuse to use it; and two, the rank smell that comes from the idea that the town has expended thousands for a beach and park that apâ€" parently are not usable on account of the perfume mot of Araby. There are some very offensive odors in the offâ€" ing at the moment, and somebody should do someâ€" thing about it. Certainly there is a bad smell from the idea of the town defrauding Mr. Waiter Wilson of the swimming place that he has imâ€" proved and maintained at his own expense, after the municipality had refused to spend a little money to provide the facilities required there. Such a thing smells to high heaven. â€"just "Formed." Maybe, they‘re right at that. The "Automobile" has disappeared from the headâ€" lines, and there are no "Telegraphs," or "Teleâ€" phones." All that remain are "Cars," "Wires" and ‘"Phones."" It would take a couple of chapters to mention half the cases where letters have replaced words and phrases. Indeed, the alphabet business has been carried to such an extent that even the headline writers themselves do not know what the letters mean in any other newspaper. Perhaps somebody will rise to the defence of the headline writers, claiming that the whole business certainâ€" ly saves time and space. But does it? And if it does, to what end? Yet all this is no condemnaâ€" tion of the heading writer. No writer of headlines would be guiltyâ€"even in the skinniest typeâ€"of using such a phrase as "intestinal fortitude." GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACERf meaning at all. But it gets by, and repetition builds up some meaning for it. This necessity for few letters has resulted in some odd ideas. Apparâ€" ently there are no more "collisions" â€" just "crashes." This saves letters, but the lives go in the same old way. "War" is maintained. That ’three-letter word is ideal for the headline writer. Of course, "Peace" is too good a headline word to be dropped altogether, but it has to take second place, being two letters longer than "War.‘"‘ It seems to be years now since there was a "Conspirâ€" acy." All the headline writer ever hears about is a "Plot." The headline writer has done what the "Gâ€"Men" have failed to doâ€"â€"he has abolished "Kidnapping." The headline writer will not admit to anything longer than "Snatches." Few people are "murdered" any more. The headline writers just "slay" them, and thus save four letters withâ€" out additional loss of life. This is an age of "Inâ€" vestigations" and "Commissions," but the headline writeris doing his bestâ€"he‘s cutting them down to. "Probes." The headline writers have knocked "u" out of "honour" and "labour‘"‘ and "me" out of. ‘"programme." "Trousers" have been replaced by ‘"Pants." Whoever saw a "Trousers Burglar" in a headline? Even the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto is liable to be a thing of the past unless the headline writers are stopped. Toâ€"day in all the headlines, it is just the "Ex." And how many prove that they only read the headlines by asking: "Are you going to the Ex?" According to the headâ€" line writers nothing is ever "Organized" any more | rcunnc. Sometimes it «does not express any OFEFENSIVE ODOR mm PP «y P AP P ~P P PC P AP L D â€"AL_~AL L L Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the British Exâ€" chequer, made an address at Lanark, Scotland, on Saturday, in which warning was given that Britâ€" ain may be forced to join in any war in Central ther concessions. The commission investigating the penitentiaries showed such slobbering sentiâ€" mentality to the criminals and such unfairness and injustice to the prison authorities that the prisoners can scarcely be blamed for the inferâ€" ences they drew. The trouble at the Manitoba penitentiary should open the eyes of Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., and the other sentimentalists who apparently have kind hearts for all but the innoâ€" cent and unoffending.

Mr. Errington pointed out that since the advance in the price of gold from $20.687 per ounce, there has been a steady rise in the cost of mining. In many cases, he says, present costs equal the former avâ€" erage grade per ton. In practically all mines a lower grade of ore is being mined than formerly was the case. Thisâ€"means in effect that it is not the individual mines that are profiting from the increase in the price of gold but the workmen and industry in general. Europe. Germany was urged to coâ€"operate in avoiding trouble in Czechoslovakia, and the point was made plain that war in Europe is difficult in â€" deed to limit, and aggression would be almost sure to find Britain lined up with other allies to fight for democracy and peace.
