widely known by name in the province, and the other that the name itself was a very decided disâ€" advantage. Indeed, the two handicaps may reâ€" solve themselves into the name alone. The Conâ€" servative party may be the party of culture and education but even the Conservatives of genera â€" tions hesitate about pronouncing that name when they see it, and as for spelling it, that takes cour. age, and courage is needed more for other things in these dark days for the party and the nation. As for the mere handful of votes secured by given the oth: had two serio widely known vention by overwhelming majority. It is equally true that whatever may be said of other party conventions, the one last Friday certainly marchâ€" ed with public opinion in the province at large. This is not to suggest any unfavourable reflection on the other candidates. Hon. Earl Lawson has won a high place for himself in the party and the material vote given him indicated this fact. It There has been no formal announcement of the vote last Friday at Toronto on the election of a new provincial Conservative leader but it has been suggested, without official contradiction, that the balloting resulted in the following vote:â€"For Col. Geo, A. Drew, 796; for Hon. Earl Lawson, M.P., 413 for Wilfred Heighington, K.C., 41; and for Rev. Norman Rawson, 22. In any event, it is undisâ€" puted that Col. Drew was the choice of the conâ€" vention by overwhelming majority. It is equally true that whatever mayry he said nf Athar nartu funny world of the twentieth century. With pacifists preaching war and peaceâ€"preachâ€" ing nations supplying the means of war to other nations, with nations holding up the other nations as too vile to be allowed to live, and yet buying goods from them and helping them live and opâ€" press others, surely, it is not overstepping the mark to say "This is a funny world." famous for | termed war time and in was actually ly civilized funny world funny world."

It is a matter of fact that all the peaceful nations made war possible in Spain by supplying war materials to either one of the two sides. Britain has been accused of being so doubly peaceâ€"loving tï¬mt her subjects supported both sides of the war in Spain by providing materials to both sides, provided the funds were available for buying.

For this attention, no apology, or excuse, or eve»n Residence of St. Mary‘s hospital at Timmins, the completion of the new Porcupine General hospital at South Porcupine, the addition of notable new _school buildings to the community, and the official opening of the Timmins municipal building. All these are of public importance and community inâ€" terest, and in addition inditate to the world at large the growth and progress of the Porcupine area. Emphasis on these events in the community advancement suggests what all would prefer to believe is the true spirit of the people of the North. It is true that the new McIntyre Community Building is well worth attention alone as a notâ€" able addition to the number of impresssive modâ€" ern structures in Schumacher and the Porcupine camp. It is true that it will undoubtedly con tribute much to the pleasure and health and conâ€" venience of the people of the district. It is true that it is the generous gift of the McIntyre Porcuâ€" pine Mines and that it cost in the neighborhood f two hundred thousands dollars. But in none of these truths lie the deeper significance of the gift. In his address at the official opening of the new building on Friday last the president of the McIintyre Porcupine Mines, Mr. J. P. Bickell, gave hint of the real ideas and"ideals, behind this and other gifts to the community from the McIntyre Mines and from the other mines in the district.

While the choice of the new leader is of general importance throughout the province, it has particular interest locally. Col. Geo. A. Drew‘s attitude towards foreign "isms" and such organization as the C.I.O. is well known. Accordingly, there will be a tendâ€" necy to frown upon candidates whose principles are not those of the Liberalâ€"Conservative party. The same attitude no doubt will extend to the Dominion arena. In other words the plans will be to carry settled principles through changing votes, rather than to carry settled votes through changing principles. ence to a par the type that tried and true liberal eye for they be new. Rev, Norman Rawson, the humorous references by that gentleman after the vote, suggest that he was not downhearted and that his appeal for a place on the ballot had other purposes than to secure the party leadership.

The latest war danger is given by despatches as the threat of batt.le between Germany and Poâ€" land. The European nations might at least postâ€" pone their wars until after Christmas. It is said that the new post office to be built at Kapuskasing is to have no basement for the accommodation of other than post office needs, no janitor‘s quarters, and no room for other pubâ€" lic services. In other words it is to be just a post office, and nothing more. This is reported to have caused much disappointment to various local orâ€" ganizations that had hoped to be accommodated in the new public building. It might be well for these dissatisfied associations to consider whether dis appointment now will not prove more satisfactory than disappointment later on. If the new post office building will give complete accommodation to the postal service at present and allow for exâ€" tension if further accommodation is needed, it will answer its chief purpose. When the Timâ€" mins post office was first built it gavé accomâ€" modation to the public library, the local militia company and other organizations that have had to move out to allow further room for post office purposes. ie * o t e week,. and friends at wWas â€" mach Mr. Alex Henderson, of Chacham Ont., was a Timmins visitor last week spend Mr. A.

There are many things that might be said in connection with the Gilobe and Mail‘s little item. Despatches state that two hundred Canadians who have been participating in the war in Spain are about to return home. It remains to be seen whether or not they will say: "We won the war." The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing, last week had an article headed:â€"‘"Many Arguments Favour Weekâ€"end Public Holidays." The article itself dealt with evergreens, conifers, and suchâ€" like.
