"The Call of the North"

One of the greatest monopolies in
history was the Hudson's Bay Com
pany which maintained it's hold for
more than 200 years over the greater
part of what is now Canada. Its
factors held the power of life or death
over those who lived within the radius
of its trading posts. This monopoly
came to an end in 1870 when the com
pany surrendered its charter in TX
change for certain properties.
This dramatic state of affairs forms
a basis for The Call of the North

condoned by the Hudson's Bay House,

of the remote location of such posts.
1t was with this, material that Stewart

65 MILLION TON
COAL RESERVE
IS EXHAUSTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA ma
tion-wide shutdown of non-essential
industries will come by September
unless the coal strike is settled, gov
eminent officials keeping a close
watch on the rapidly growing fuel
shortage say.
The huge coal reserve of 65,0O0,OO0
tons which existed when the strike
began on April l is now virtually ex-
hausted and production is only about
half of the country's normal require
ments.
Production increased 100000 tons
during the last week, according to
figures made public by the United
States Geological Suryev. But this
is a comparatively small amount.

IS HURT
WHEN SHELL
ExPLODES

Freddie johnson, the 11-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest johnson
suffered painful wounds on his hands
and face a short time ago when he
lit a presumably empty shell.
Freddie was on an outing with his
family and Mrs. R. S. Montgomery in
the West, and while on a hike with
his mother and Mrs. Montgomery,
clicked up a couple of shells which he
and the women believed to be empty.
He carried them home and that even
ing applied a match to one of them
which exploded burning his hands
and face badly in several places.
Mrs. Montgomery returned to Mex
leo a short time after the accident
and Monday morning received a let
ter from Mrs. johnson saying that
Freddie is getting along fine and they
will start home in a few days.

THE strike situation is rapidly as
Stunning a most serious condition for
the public-the innocent ~bystander.
Regardless Of whether the strikers
or the railroads or mines are right or
wrong, in the final analysis the pub
lie always suffers and the present out
look, especially from the public's in
terests, is most serious. The short
age of fuel, even If the mines resum-
ed operation at once, would run far
into the winter. Without adequate
transportation the manning Of the
coal mines would offer little relief.
Mexico is more fortunate in that its
industries so far are better protected
as to fuel than factories and utilities
in many sections Of the country.
However if transportation fails then
local industries may of necessity
have to close and hundreds will be
thrown. out Of work and be in want
as a natural result. The administra-
ton should have stepped in at the
beginning and arranged some plan Of
arbitration. By allowing the strike
to continue so long before it took an
active interest the c~omplexity of the
question almost bars a satisfactory
settlement to either side.

a. MAN was hanged in st. Louis
recently for a crime committed in
August 1920 and for which he was
sentenced to hang on December 18th,
1920. Because of the laws delays
two years have passed since the
crime startled st. Louis and the time
he pays the penalty. We think a man
is entitled to a fair trial and the OPP
p~ortunity to prove his innocence but
we feel that delays such as this, which
often result in the escape of the con-
victed mar either through a tech
nicality or a Jail break, are contrib
utory to crime. A quick trial and re-
view of the case, if 1t is allowed in
legal procedure, is perfectly proper
but it should not be allowed to drag
on for two years before the crime is
paid for if that be the verdict. Moth
ing will discourage crime more eff
GENTLY than quick justice. And as
we have said before that wife beat
ing, and for that matter minor thefts,
the whipping post is a splendid pre-
ventive. The trouble with US today
is that we are uninterested in the
prevention or punishment of crime
, unless we are directly touched by the
action of the criminal. Then we take
an active interest in the matter. This
lis not a correct position for a good
citizen to assume. If the laws are
not properly and efficiently enforced
because of lack of interest, then
everyone will sooner or later, suffer
from a crime in one form or another.
