Big Celebration at Hensail July 12
One of Greatest Buys in History of Hensail.—Rousing
addresses.t-Many lodges in the march.
“We have nothing against the Ro-
anan Catholics; they have just as
much to thank William 01 Orange
for as any of us, and they should be
liere today, joining with us in cele
brating the Glorious Twelfth of July
The Orange Order is founded on the
"Word of God and the principles of
right and truth, and these shall al-
"ways prevail* You’ll never get un-‘
ity in a country with two national
languages and seperate schools; let
ns unite and make ths Dominion of
Canada one of the greatest countries
In the world."
So spoke William Doig, of Port
Huron, Mich., past grand master .ofc
the Orange lodge in that state and.
one of the foremost Orangemen iii
the United States, in the course- of a
stirring address before 7,000 people
at the baseball Bark here on Thurs-.
day, Mr. Doig was born in South
Huron, about three miles from liere,
and he‘ laughingly declared that
while a prophet was, according to
tradition, never honored in his home
town, he hoped those present would
take heed of what he had to say.
.Although he had become an Amer
ican citizen since taking up resi
dence in the United States, he avert-*
ed that he was still proud of the
land of his birth, and it was his wish
that when he finished working he
might return, to old Huron County
and be buried with his forefathers.
It was one of greatest days that
Hensail, has witilessed in many
years. Never in all history has such
1 a crowd turned out for any event
as that which congregated at the
baseball park. A score or more of
lodges joined in the huge procession
'which wended its way around town
and eventually marched down the
the main thoroughfare and thence to
the park. The parade was headed
by Herman Powe, of Centralia, coun
ty master of South Huron and H.
Hogg, of Winthrop, director of cer
emonies, both mounted
white steeds. Then came
with bauds of all sorts
Chief among these was
City Fife and Drum Band, under the
leadership of W. J. Weames, and
the Gljnton Hglilanders, a brass
band in kilts,

DOMINION TIRE DEPOT
JOHN TAYLOR
Two
in to-day’s events marking the 23 8th
anniversary of the Battle of the
Boyne. They were Thomas Stevens
of Seaforth, a former Londoner, and
who is his ninetieth year, and Thos.
Hemphill, whose son conducts the
local drug store, who hails from De
troit and who is in his 80tli year,
Mr. Stevens has 71 years to his
credit as an Orangeman and Mr. T.
Hemphill a total of 59 years,
they have both missed only one

ago to-day and? after spending some
years in London, he moved to Sea
forth, where he has resided for the
past 64 years. The first newspaper
he read, lie stated, was The London
Free Press, and he still reads its co
lumns, it being one of the most im
portant daily arrivals at the home.
He was in London a couple of years
ago at the centennial old boys’ cele
bration, and some four or five years
ago he celebrated July 12th at Lon
don with the late Henry Griffith,
then 105 years of age-
Mr. Hemphill was born in Ireland
on February 6, 1849, came to Can
ada when a young man and lived
for 3 6 years in and around Wrox-
ter. He later moved to Detroit,
where he now resides with a son.
In 1871 he was inadvertently sent
to- Chicago on business on July 12
and could not celebrate, that is the
only one he has missed in his 69
years as an Orangeman. He joined
the Lodge in Durham, joining Lodge
376. Both these gentlemen are
past masters several times.
In opening the program of speeches
before the grand stand County Mas
ter Herman Powe pointed out that
this was the 98th Dominion cele
bration of the anniversary of the
Battle; of the . Bq^ne.- The orders
he declared, stood for religious tol
eration and equal rights tor all with
special privileges for none. It was
an order that should be upheld by
everyone, fOr it stood for the liber
ties which we proudly boast in Can
ada to-day.
r
/ Reeve Robert Higgins welcomed
the visitors and declared that while
.he was an Orangeman, being a na
ive of the North ’of Ireland he
should be. He had heard it said
that a visitor from Detroit was the
most distant celebrant to-day, but
such was not the case. He had no
ticed cars in the town bearing li
cense plates from California, British
Columbia and many intervening
points.
King William, he averted, had
won the greatest victory for person
al liberty tpat had ever been fought
when he defeated King James. Had
lie not won, things in the British
Empire would have been vastly dif
ferent to-day, he said.-
The speaker of the day undoubt
edly was William Doig, of Port Hu
ron. George Spotton, xM.P., of Wing-
liam was unable to get-to the local
celebration, having been billed also
to speak at a great celebration at
Lucknow. ' He failed to make both
places..
Mr. Doig in his address urged
that the principles for which
Orangeism stood be handed down to
our children and children’s children.
The order had been founded on the
Word of God and the principles of
right and truth and in consequence
it could not fail.
“I was born of Scotch parents,”
Mr. Doig
said that
right to
different.
liam of Orange would ever have won
the victory he did had it not been
for the 20,000 Scotchmen who were
witli him oh that great occasion 238
years ago." (Applause-)

stood the test of He averred.
“The Orange , Order stands for
civil and religious liberty. King
William said you can worship God
as you please, but you shall not
kill each other because of difference
in religious faith," the speaker con
tinued.
“Where are our
friends to-day? I
them. We have no right to do that,
but they should be here with us to
day. They owejust as much to King
William of Orange as any one of us.
We have nothing against -them-
They should be here to celebrate
this great event to-day just as we
are doing.
The speaker then pointed cut that
the Orange Order stands for separa
tion of church and state, One flag
and one language was another slo1-
gan. With two national languages
no country could possibly succeed.
The United States had done some
thing in this respect, and it had also
quashed the seperate school pro
blem. In Canada any group of five
Catholics could obtain sperate
school, and their taxes would go to
ward its support. In the United
States their taxes went to the
lie .school just the same, and
had to pay privately for their
erate schools.

“Our boys and girls need a

speaker added.
Referring to the Province of Que
bec the speaker declared that the
French-speaking people had gone to
the woods when the war was on.
One could not find tablets in mem
ory of fallen heroes in Quebec as
they could in Ontario, for the simple
season that the boys of that pro
vince did not go overseas as they
did elsewhere in the Dominion.
“The great Orange Order has a
place botli here and in the United

eluded.
An immense crowd

were beautifully decorated with the
Orange colors and the Union Jack
interspersed, and with refreshment
booths on every corner the town had
donned its most holiday-lie attire.
Rev. James Foote, Presbyterian
minister of Exeter, declared that
the Orange Order stands for the
highest things that we, as British
people, possess. It is based on the
British principles of freedom and
aims to aid all the people. What
would Canada be to-day were it not
for the British flag? the speaker
asked.
f Rev. A. Sinclair, of the local Unit-
‘Uu'clRirilf, added a word of wel
come to Reeve Higgin’s speech. It
was 238 years ago since that great
victory at the Boyne, and it was a
great day for the empire when King
William emerged victorious on that
occasion.

“Since the W.C.T.U. is interested
in suppressing the use of tobacco, as
well as that of liquor, that we dis
approve of the advertisements writ
ten to appeal especially to women,
also that we deplore the increase in
smoking among women and girls”
reads the resolution.
A second resolution declares that
government, control of liquor as at
present constituted is a failure. This
resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, that we place on record
the retrograde Steps taken by our
province in setting aside the O.T.A.
and replacing it with the govern
ment control system, which is
known to be a failure in every pro
vince in which it has been tried.
