THE NEW YEARt.
Christmas and New Year a 1S
Day are only a week apart, yet ) '
it would sometimes seem that 1111
the kindly spirit stirred in
almost every heart by the fes- S
tival of the Christ -child is lulled .1
l again into apathy before the ap- Jl
proach of the New Year. This
Iought not so to 1e. It is only
when the Christmas spirit is
carried into the life of ,.the New
Year that the ygar• ie profitably
))) spent. To minister a the web-
fare of the community, the
circle in which nue• lives, to lead <
.a life which makes for goodwill
and righteousness, to give one's
self in service to others, is tt tie
t living. This is the very essence
of Christmas. This is the only true
way to commemorate the birth
of Hill' who came "not to be,S
ministered unto, but to madrj I
inter." To carry this spirit into 1.
tbe life of the new year would
do more than anything else to-
wards -solving tbe problems that
hares and perplex the Fouls of
m en today. "Christianity,"
some one has said, "has not
proved a f ' tical
A vote for the "Hydn' debenture
bylaw will be a vote for larger tea
bills and industrial paralysis for
lioderich.
Members of the council adroit tbai
they do not understand the "Hydro"
propositior. Yet the people are
asked to vote V3.0* in the (talk.
The tax bills were high enough, in
all conscience, this yea: -but wait
until you see thew next year, if the
Hydro electric proposition is adopted.
' The signing ot the contract for
"Hydro' power will prevent Goderich
from doing anything for itself in the
way of power development far a
quarter of a cent ul v.
The water ar,d light commission has
decided to abolish the metre -rent.
But if the ••Hydro" scheme is adopted.
the flat rate for floor MPS will hent
the metre -rent all hollow es a mini-
mum charge.
Every person who does not want 10
see Ibe town involved in further
money obligations and the tax bills
increased should gar to the pulls next
Jlondsy and vote against the "Hydro"
debenture bylaw. A majority of the
votes cast will carry or defeat the
'bylaw. so every vote against it should
f polled.
.1 plan showing a rotnplete street
i. lighting system for the town is pre -
wilted in connection with the Hydro -
I electric proposition, but there is no
information as to what all these lights
will cost. It looks like a deliberate
1 attempt to lead the ratepayer to It -
herr that the improved lighting is to
be given, aithout extra cost. in
reality tbf''town will have to foot a
large bill for street lighting. ',it the
plan is accepted. ..
The London Free Press is a gri•at
shnute, tot '•hydro" power: but in-
stead of using "Ryden- power itself ti
run itaprinting presses it has ibe own
priv,,ate power plant. The Advertiser
published a pictureofthe Free Press
p.,wrr rlant in its Saturday edition.
Hob. Adam Beck. the. chairman of the
Hydro -electric Commission, 'owns a
factory in London winch is run, by -
steam power. not 'by Hydro -electric.
There is no blame to hint for this, but
it goes to .how that "Hydro" does not
supplant steams in all circumstances.

POWER POINTERS.
Was ever .an important bylaw

tainly not taking any pelt in support
of the bylaw. Moine of them are
known to hb decidedly opposed to it.
There is no party politics in The
gnal's opposition to' the Niagara
power proposition, despite the state-
ment of our friend William Campbell.
A Grit couldn't recite the Ten Com-
mandment, in public without being
suspected hy Mr. Campbell of some
unholy design against the Conserv*
tive party.
Not long ago a Seaforth ,can and a
resident of Goderich were conversing.
The Goderich man was telling of the
amount of heilding that was Irving

were going up in all parts of the toe n.
Thelieaforth wan took it all in. and
then said :
"Well, if you were to ask rue about
it, 1 could not tell you of a single uew

house that'is going up in Yeaforth this
year."
And yet Seaforth has •Hydro

This is the WOK schedule of prices of Niagara power. What a pleasant

glance at the list will be sufficient to deter any manufacturer from locating in

The Signal hire sever argued for a fiat rate, but there is • good deal of force
in the complaint that t he evil tendency of building up tbe cities .1 the expense
of the towns is furthered by the great difference in power atee as shown in
the above schedule. If we cannot have • Nat rate, why cannot we have some
