The paraphernalia seized belonged to a New York gambling 3V ndicate and was ostensibly sent in to make money during the time of the Shriners’ con- vention. There were roulette wheels, dice tables, rouge et noir layouts and the like all ready in elabor- atelV furnished rooms, and with the house dealers putting on the last touches preparatory to fleecing the Shriners and their friends when the police arrived. From the subsequent remarks the gang did not expect to get away with the games without opposition but thought that like other cities, the police force could be bought off to let them Operate. But nothing do- ing, said Denny Draper’s men, and the deal was off. This is the difference between the Canadian and United States law. There are as many laws or more in the States than in this country, but they cannot enforcement officers. In Canada the law is the law and that is all there is to it. Toronto is guilty of a lot of sins against the rest of Ontario and is probably the best hated city in the province, but she certainly cannot be accused of hav- . . . . a ing a poor police force. Crooks give Canada a Wide berth as a rule, and although some of the bolder ele- ment take a chance occasionally their operations are short before the long arm of the law reaches out and grabs them. ‘- ‘y ‘ naps wiser men.. The promoters Openly declared that Toronto was the only city on the North Amer- ican continent that they had not been able to “fix”. But Toronto’s police force is not made up of men with itchy palms, and despite the wails of the heads of the syndicate the equipment worth thousands of dolhrs was seized and the operators told that they had better leave the city as speedily as possible. ° A FAR REACHING POLICY The opening speech of the Hon. R. B. Bennett, leader of His Majesty’s loyal opposition at Ottawa, delivered from the ampitheatre at Winnipeg on Mon- day night last and broadcast over a nation-wide radio hook-up, was a masterpiece, and the eight planks he laid down for his party in the coming election should assure the success of the Conserva- tives on the 28th of next month. Briefly outlined they are as follows: 1. Protection. 2. Development of the agricultural, live stock and dairying industries. TORONTO’S GOOD POLICE FORCE The Toronto police department can cut another nick in its gunstock 'since the raid of last Monday night when it rounded up a gang of United States gamblers, seized their equipment and sent them home across the border, decidedly sadder and per- 3. Stabilization of economic conditions and free- dom from monopolies. 4. Preservation of inter-provincial trade and fuel policy, and development of a foreign market. 5. Improvement of the whole transportation sys- tem as applied to the Northâ€"Hudson’s Bay Railway completion, the development of the Peace River and the Pacific outlet; development of the St. Lawrence waterway and a national highway system; increased port facilities on the Great Lakes, Hudson’s Bay and the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. Whosoe'ver is afraid of submitting any question, civil or religious to the test of free discussion. is more in love with his own opinion than with the Truthâ€"WA TSON. 6. Fostering of greater Empire trade, based on mutual advantage. 7. A national old age pensions scheme. 8. Compensating adjustments to insure .benefits of this entire policy to all parts of Canada. In the whole eight planks there is something for the farming communities which have for far too long a time been suffering from the depression of hard times. There is no denying the fact that the hard times in the agricultural industry have been felt over the entire world, but the most' of . it, so far as Canada is concerned, could be overcome through the preper development of our own markets rather than the old policy of looking for new markets under world competition that are now already overstocked. There are times when we forget ourselves, and in our dealing with agriculture, we feel that the wrong principle for relief from depression has been advocated. Instead of looking afar off for a market in which our farmers must meet conditions and prices far below those to which the Canadian farmer has been accustomed, we believe it would Minuet if our legislators looked nearer home for at least a partial Any business man will tell you that to be success- ful one must cultivate and hold his domestic or local market. it is all very well to sell our products in the Mun-uhntbiewemoctnothinzelsethin Mmshsllhsvetomsstforeign conutitiom‘Why nus-m upourm Canadian mstkot for our “mmmstmmmmm The Durham) Chronicle Thursday, June 12, 1930 And isn’t this the usual mung, whether the "bul- lets” be from a gun or a slanderous tongue? Is it not always the case that the bullets that come from. nowhere and "for which no one is apparently respons~ ible, wound the most? Most of us can bear up under: adversity. We can fight that which we know. But it is sometimes hard to combat that of which we. know nothing. It is all Very well and good to say that we don’t care what anyone says of us. The real truth of the matter is that we do care, and care more for the rumor without foundation of which we do not know the origin than the public accusation that we can defend. If there is any meaner citizen than he who pro- motes slanderous statements about his fellow-men and stays under cover, we do not know him. Person- ally, we prefer a kicking horse to a biter./ You can watch the former, but the latter grabs when you are not looking. â€" And so it is with people. We rather admire the man who comes out with what is on his mind, but never could shine up to the fellow who is all things to all men and who carries his wishbone where his back- bone ought to be. We can admire the man who is against us and says so, but have a hard time trying to even respect the one who sits on the same side of the fence with us when the going is good, only to desert and climb over the top rail when the sailing seems smoother on the other side. FOOLISH JOURNALISM The fact that one person does not like another person is no reason why he should go into paroxys- mal spasms when he has to speak of them. The same is true nationally. Newspaper men should never allow their feelings to run away with their good sense even in defense of their own country. It has been long known that Anglophobia has been William Randolph Hearst’s worst disease. Anything with Britain in it he hates, as does also his satellite, Arthur Brisbane. The latter’ 3 latest outburst says: “Britons, building sailing boats for centuries, connot compete with modern American boat-builders. Youthful inventive genius is better than old exper- ience.’,’ THE BULLET FROM NOWHERE A Sfreetsville man was wounded by '9. bullet the other day and no one seems to know who fired it or from where it came. ‘ He is reported seriously wounded. would seem like good business and would have little effect on the consumers in this country, who, while they guaranteed the farmer a fair price, would leave him in a position to spend his money at home and keep it in circulation right here in Canada. This may not sound like good politics to some of our opponents, but it is good business just the same. No doubt Mr. Brisbane is referring to the races for the America’s Cup, which was Won in England by the United States in 1851, we think the year was, and has since :been in the possesion of the States. This summer Sir Thomas Lipton is to make another try to lift it. But why does Mr. Brisbane not tell the whole truth about this cup? The rules call for com- peting boats to be seaworthy. They are supposed, according to the rules of the competition to cross the Atlantic under their own sail. Any United States school child knows that the America’s ,cup defender never has complied with these conditions, and so the assumption of Mr. Brisbane that the British have inferior boats. The Halifax Herald hands the New York Anglo- phobe a good one when it says that Canada will have to send Angus Walters and his Bluenose over to Sandy Hook and trim the lot of them in a decent breeze of wind. With Mr. Brisbane talking in a sim- ilar strain about airplanes and other things, the H erald wants to know what was the matter with “youthful inventive genius” in the Schnieder Cup races last year.
