same sentence for the same crime in all localities that may not ex actly state the case but it starts- it would not dp to have sentences become automatic because that makes of the bench a mere recording instrument and eliminates circumstances the attorneygeneral admits that there is inequality in sentences but he says frankly that theres nothing to be done about it cant be because each magisterial mind is of a different order mr nickle cites the case of two persons who are guilty of bigamy one man in the belief that his wife is dead and after six and a jmlf years absence remarries only to find later that tns first wife is alive the other knowing that his first wife is living marries the sectfnd time in the ie lav both have- committed bigamyr jnt in the eyes of a commonsense

another step in an attempt to lay the principle that the advertising columns of publication are a public carder and that discrim- ripn regarding what advertising will be accepted not to be left in the power of the publisher the it order houses are making it hard for the town qrchants but the information is gleaned from news pam pu the united states that in cities towns and com munities where the local papers are liberally used by local merchants the mail order business is not as feaf the advertising experts of mail order louses watch all newspapers closely and are quick jf9 observe when local merchandising is not fully represented in that community efforts are at once to get into the local papers and the direct- bymail advertisiiigss pushed into that sction with full force if headway is made in the united states to force local publishers to accept mail order ad vertising it will follow that canadian mail order houses will advance the same arguments it can be truly said that the local
