EDITORIAL NOTES.
Sir James Whitney has reneged on
the anti -treating pr'opose'.
Tbe Toronto News says the Tory
papers are "happy and Rood -natured"
over the Ottawa situation. Well, you
wouldn't know it from reading them.
Why does not that brave Govern-
ment at Ottawa take its courage in its
hands and appeal to the people on its
naval policy?
The fraudulent marking of bailote is
one of the meanest tricks imaginable,
and it is gratifying to know that tbs
attempt to defeat tbe Clinton local op-
tion bylaw by such means bas failed.

Brant county has bad a district ag.
riculturul representative, for some
time, stationed at Paris, ani his work

ootlnty council is trying to secure an
other, whose office is to be at Brant-
ford. 1s it not high time that Huron

What a magnificent exhibitior of
courage the Bordenites are giving.'
They refuse to face the enemies of the
Empire with a Canadian navy. but in-
stead propose to send a few empty
ships to the Notch Sea and let others
do the fighting. They won't even ac-
cept the Liberal challenge to meet
them at the polls. And "Bob" Rog-
ers was said to be a fighting man !
The robins and other birds are coin-
ing back for their summer visit with
us. and this would be a good time for
parents and other "grown-ups" to
teach the children to regard the little
feathered s -nesters as their friends
and to refrain from injuring or mol-
esting them. From a purely material
standpoint, In view of their services e.
insect -destroyers, the birds are en-
titled to protection.
^ it th. Borden Government persists
in neglecting the legitimate business
of Parliament in order to force the ob-
noxious naval bill through the House.
the Conservative meml5rs need not
try to make the people believe that it
is the Liberals who are responsible for
the waste of time and the holding up
of public business. The Liberals in
the House are ready to help transact
the country's business ; they are not
ready to let thirty-five million dollars
of
tbe people's money be voted away
to keep Mr. Borden nut of trouble
with his Nationalist allies.
The Conservatives of South Perth
had a meeting at Mitchell the other
day and were addressed by Mr.
Wrichel. M. P. for North Waterloo,
and Dr. Steele, the member for Booth
Perth. Both speakers gave the cold
shoulder to the "German peril," and
said that any danger confronting the
popire was not from Germany' at all,
but from some other direction. There

The Art of Coaver.atioe
Windeot Record
Conversation is an art in which but
fewexcel. though all may gain • pro-
ficiency in it if they will. On this
subject a writer has said:
Conversation must be cultivated
and practised little by little, no mat-
ter how imperceptible or small the
progress at first.
A child would never learn to talk
were it neglected end left to itself.
it would only be capable of an un-
intelligible jargon to express its physi-
cal wants.
According to its opportunities a
child will progress. If surrounded by
a refined and educated influence that
influence will reflect itself from the
very beginning, and show not alone in
words, but in a:tions.
Conversation is so seldom thought
of as a study. There is no offort made
to get • vocabulary ; too often the
words which are incidentally picked
up by imitation and desultory reading
are jumbled together in such a man-
ner that the right one can seldom be
selected when occasion calls for its use.
The Churchill Memorandum.
Woodstock Sentinel Re. iew.
The Churchill memorandum, un-
fortunate se it has been in some of its
results, has nerved one good purpose.
It has served •s a revelation to the
statesmanship of the world, and
especially to the British Empire -
of Canada herself no lees than of
England -that there is a Canadian
national spirit that will not always
allow itself to be trifled with or treated
with contempt. We are not assuming
that there was any feeling of contempt
or lack of respect behind the Churchill
memorandum : the utmost. probably,
that can be said is that there was a
lack of knowledge or sympathy with
the ideals and purposes of those
Canadians who are seeking to build
up • great and self-respecting nation
on this North American cootinents
and within the British Empire, capable
of taking care of its own honor and
willing to assume its national re-
sponsibilities. and for that failure to
understand and appreciate, Canadians
themselves are first of all to blame.
The spirit in which the Churchill
memorandum has been received may
help tc prevent misunderstandings in
the future.

THE BYLAW CARRIED rte, smr au
JUDGE MQLrSICISI. ON IN CUM-
H.0 Honor Decides that Certain bal-
lots Were Tampered With and
that He Must Give EA.ct to Will
of the Voters- Local Option Bylaw
Accordingly Will Go .nto Effect.
Judge Holt on Sat.urdy gave his de-
cision en the matter of the Clinton
local option bylaw, deiaring the by
law carried witb a margin of one and
one fifth sees over the necessary
siz,y per cent. of tis total vote can.
Hitt Honor allowed as cast for the
bylaw thirteen of the ballots est. in
St. John's ward as to which evidence
was given that they bad been tam
pered with. On eleven of these. he
found, the craw in favor of the bylaw
bed been erased and a cross masked
on them against the bylaw; oo the
other two, which were marked in
favor of the bylaw, a crow bad been
placed in the opposite compartment in
order, as be decided, to have them
thrown out w spoiled ballots. Three
other votes were disallowed, snaking
the total vote 327 to 216.
are adjudged against the peti-
ti Reuben Graham. who acted
for the nesse-holders. The costs are
fined at $129 19.
The judge's decision is as follows :
judge Holt's Decision.
"That the total vote polled as ap-
peared
when the ballot boxes were
opened by me was 544 (not including
in this number fifteen blank ballots
andltwo bailout both of which were
marked for and against tbe bylaw).
These seventeen ballots, but for the
circumstances set forth in paragraph
five of this my report, I would have
enlioely disregarded. 1 found one bal-
lot marked with a cross in favor of
local option but which bad in the com-
partment against local option the
word "yes" written. This ballot i dis-
allow. That owing to two voters who
voted not having the residential quali-
fications 1 disallowthese two votes.
"'Chet the este as taken from the
ballots in the ballot boxes eras as fol-
lows: 317 in favor of the bylaw and
271 against it, making a total of b44,
and 1 deducted from this total the three
votes disallowed and this leaves a
total vote voting oo the bylaw of Mk
"Deducting these three disallowed
ballots from tbe number of votes (as
evidenced by what appears from abs
ballots taken by me from the ballot
bones) voting in favor of the bylaw
leaves the number apparently voting
in favor of the bylaw 314 and against
the bylaw L,r7.
-This result would apparently show
that the bylaw did not carry, three-
fifths of the voters voting upon it not
having voted in its favor.
"Evidence, however, was given be-
fore me showing that 334 votes had
been east in favor , of the bylaw and
only 214 against it, • total of 546, and
that this was tbe return made ai re-
quited by statute by the returning of-
ficer on the 7th day of January, A. D.
1913, and it was contended by counsel
that one ballot box bad been tam-
pered with and the ballots contained
therein altered or changed.
"This alleged tampering with or
changing of ballots applied to one
ward only, namely, number 3, St.
John's ward, and in this ward tbedep-
uty returning officer in his returo
stated that eighty-four votes were
polled or cast in favor of the bylaw
and fifty-one against it whereas on
my counting the ballots when the bal-
lot hoz was opened by me I found a
very +serious discrepancy from this re-
turn of :be deputy returniug officer,
as there appeared io the sixty-nine in
favor of the bylaw and sixty-four
against it. '
There is the strongest possible evj-
dence, which to my mind is irresis-
tible. that some person or persons
with the evil intent of making it . p -
pear that the bylaw bad not carried in
some way or other obtained scaess to
the piece wbere the ballot boxes were
placed on the evening of the 715 day
of January. 1913, and between that
date sod the 28th day of the same
month and with such evil intent
opened the ballot hox used in Rt.
John's ward sod obtaired Possession
of the ballots cast in that ward oo the
kcal option bylaw and deliberately
and fraudulently erased the cross on
eleven ballota marked in favor of the
bylaw and placed or marked upon
such eleven ballots a cross against the
bylaw. and further marked upon two
hellots marked in favor of the bylaw a
cross against local option, in order, as
it appears to me, to spoil these ballots.
No possible conclusion on the evidence
submitted and from these thirteen bal-
lots themselves can be arrived at
other than that these eleven ballots
and the two ballots now marked
both for and against local option
were cast In favor of the bylaw and
i deem it an imperative duty that
i should add these thirteen votes to
the number voting in favor of the by-
law in St. John's ward as disclosed by
the bailout taken out by me from the
ballot box used In this ward end de-
duct for eleven ballots from the sixty-
four voting twairat. ibis would
make the vote in St. John's ward ea
follows : eighty-two in favor of the by-
law sad shy -three against it. and by
adopting thin method the vote In the
municipality of the town of Clinton
would be in favor of the bylaw 390,

I Toronto, March 2:. -The proceedings
in connection with the scrutiny of the
votes cam on the local option bylaw in
Kincardine have ended in a victory
I for the temperance folk -to the great
surprise of the opponents of the by-
law.
Judge Barrett at first ruled that. un-

who is the owoer of one of the hotels
at Walkerton, war, it is said, in
charge art the forces opposed to the by-
' law. He was on the voters' list in
two wards in respect of property, and
voted on the bylaw in both wards.
To assist in defeating the bylaw be ap-
peared Judge Barrett io the
bearing, and frankly declared be
had voted twice on the bylaw. The
judge ruled that be had no alternative
but to deduct it from the hallow
marked for the bylaw.
At the resumption ofthe heariog on
Friday the supporters of the bylaw
asked for a reinspection by the judge
of the halloos to one of the wards
