Hodgens, - Town Agent The Glilntafl New Era FRIDAY, MAY 4th, 1906. ; Mr. Carnegie paid a very high com- pliment to Canada and Sir Wilfred Laurier, while ,at Ottawa the other day in stating that the Canadian Premier was one of the fi; a greatest men in the .world. . r • Local option went intoforce on Tues-` day in fifty-nine municipalities, sloe-" ing up 161 hotels therein. The only place in the comity of Huronaffected is the Township of East' Wawanosh, the hotel at Whitechurch being closed.: ' The North Atlantic Trading Con- tract was the subject of a "Treated• debate in the House this week, the premier. vigorously defending it, while the opposition just as vigorously de- nounced it. With thegeneral features •of the contract' we agree. The pay- ment of a benne on foreign immigra- tion of the agricultural class is. not unusual, nor•isitin our opinion Wrong, It resulted in the rapid settlement of th' 'United States, and seems to be having' the same effect here. It• is all very well to say' that the merits of Canada should be sufficient to induce' immigration, .hot it should be •borne in mind that the merits ' of Canada, how - 1 ever apparent they are to. Canadians , ire not so apparent to even the citizens of the British Isles, let, alone those of continental Europe, and sore ot• the. very best settlers , Older Uanada hes I' to -day are ,from' t y the latter, If. there was anything wrong with :tire 'contract it was in - keeping secret 'those who formed the Company`; but even this was done on the .,euggestion of Lord Strathcona But that there•was:`any thing wro y g ng'or inipioper, so far as :the. government is concerned was not' brought.out in'the discussion. Where Are We ? 'Po the Ecb'.or of the keit, Era : The above question wad seg. estecl by an itorriiin the' las e. i ion, copie from a, Woodstock paper. • From that article, and ethers of a similar chair atter, one might almost infer that the temperanee cause . bad ;. received its death blow ; and that the temperance party were in deep distress. And, by; the wail ;: the are comforted bybeing told that they are' receivin" tein. re- ward. ward. This of course refers to•their action in supporting the present gov- ernment. Now, for' .niy' part -(as . an out and cut `independent) I see ' ,, no signs of weakening, nor any reason for discourapenient, notwithstanding the '3-5ths tnalority in the new bill. True, we llave;zot reEeived from the present government: what we have de- sired, but the same niay be said con- cerning the late -Gdvernmeet. And, be it remembered, that, ;the . issue' was of 'a similar nature. One of the' 'principal reasons why so Many, in. eluding numbers of Mr. Ross' strong supporters -voted against . him wag be- cause -of whet they considered an un: reasonable majority in. carrying the referendum. However, I am not so sere after all but in .both instances good may be seen, to result: The course pursued by the late gov- ernment in connection with the re- ferendem had to 'do in starting the Local Option agitation, which has been sweeping over the` Country. Dur ing the present year about 70` muni- cipalities have car tied theoby-law in Ontario and only . 11 places were de- feated.' 'the Afaritime provinces are largely under Local Option laws,. and Quebec has 230.parishes under similar ctieum- stances, Fully e of Manitoba incl;id• ing the newly , formed Provinces is• covered ' by local'prohibition, and British Columbia is similarly *tinted. Not only in: one country, but else- where the burden, the curse of the licensed traffic is. pressing so heavily that people are waking up,: The unreasonable majority to carry local . option ' may . nerve to greater activity, and, I doubt not, will, when the .favorabie results following the places where the law now conies • in torte; are manifest, altn this connection • 1 may say that rye are now in Local Option territory.

The regular meeting of the A.Y,P.A of St, .Paul's•church was held on Mon- day evening, later, Mr, Gunne gave a very interesting .and valuable lecture on the metric system. He pointed out the advantages of that syettni as com- ared to the systerat in use in Canada, land & United States. He demon- strated clearly the advantages offered by the use of that system in Mathe- matics, The' address was well received. WESLEY ' Sacramental: services will be held on Sunday next. During the past church year this church hassuffered heavily • from re-. tnovals, having Jost no less than thirty •three members and In -addition .it. ;has lost five by death, • Of course the total lose is offset by the addition -of • new members. • A particularly interestingservice was held on Sunday morning at the 'dose of the regular service, when • 3() persons joined the church. Three of these were admitted by letter, and 17 were baptized, One very pleasing fea- ture was that a large number of the candidates were adults. Mr Manning, the earnest and untiring pastor of the church, should feel very gratified at this evidence of the success of hiseffort to advance the spirital welfare of his people.
