By reference to our news columna it will be seen that large shipments cf live stock have recently been made from Goderich and vicinity to United States points. Among the shippers is Mr. Robert McLean, who wee nn Three occasions the Conservative candidate in West Huron. Two years ago when the fight for reciprocity and wider markets was on Mr. McLean was one of those T 'ries that opposed having any dealings with the Yankees. What do we find Mr. McLean doing today? Reaching out for the wider markets and supporting the very prin- ciples he opposed two years ago. Whjr is he doing this ? Because the United States barrier has been thrown down and Ceradian beef allowed to enter free, and which will certainly have a tendency tO increase Mr. McLean'. bank account. Tories may howl for the Old flag and loyslty to Britain but they will never miss an opportunity of dealing with the Yankees. There is money in it. Their loyalty howl never gets beyond their lips. Reciprocity is coming and coming soon. The actions of the Tories will bring it about. ADVERTISE FUR FULLER PEWS At both services in the North street Methodist church on Sunday last the pastor, Rev. W. K. Heger. B.A., made earnest appeals for fuller pews. This reminds us that during the past few years we have noticed ourselves how small the attendance at churches has become. Why is it ? The preachers are bet ter today than ever before an d the churches are more comfortable and°inyiting. The fault is not with the preacher nor with the church. It is with the people. Only a few years ago churchgoers would sit no where hut in the front pewe. They ate gradually getting over tbi., and now show a keenness for the back pews, allowing the front ones to remain erupts, Unless a stranger should by chance be ushered to one of them. This idea of sitting in the back pews is not a good one. Church membegs and adherents should sit in the front pews and thus encoure age the poor wanderer on the street to come to church oftener than be does. The marl who is not is Christian, but who maybe considering and think- ing a whole lot about becoming one, feels somewhat timid and nervous when he goes to church and finds him- self shown to a front seat where no near neighbors exist. it gives him a funny feeling. and he may never re- turn to :hurch again. Fill the front pews Hrst, and the back pews second. If the church has • gallery, fill the pews there too. Do not cultivate a desire to sit too near the door of any cburch. it is too easy for exit, and the devil might easily reach you and yank you outside and claim you. Sit nese the front and keep your eyes on the preacherthe organ and the choir. While dwelling on this fuller pew problem we bane thought nit it, sug- gestion to the 13odetich minister,. Perhaps it modern way of going out into the highways and hedges would be to put an advertisement. in The Memel. It was eosetbing of this *attire that the ministers of Albany, New York, did when confronted with tbe tom of oonstaatly disisMb- les 'h attewdeee, They decided to pel thew to nose le The a of New Volk state usually ►ru.uss SOWS prosiseese by renals ne polite& Mppsniass, bet Mat ass ter one el its dally ' ••pars web a tneer ebueeh+tteedswoe ewes% lis ligurw awe OD slba11 as to provoke emeeseet leets a wirahse d wttglasa jeriesals, After saeh atraal these hi rhes er et the AA n pallidity .4e .1 de.tly bsllev it was time to acL' Sunday, Sept, her SI.t, was selected a. "Everybody t Church Day." The Pastors of twenty churches In- serted a full-page advertisement 'la the Saturday edition of one of time most circulated Albany dailies. The flret half of the advertisement was an appeal to the public on the social duty of churchgoing, and it began in these words : "The man who stays &way from the polls on election day fails in a duty to society. Good citizen* call him un- patriotic, and rightly. Every man should take his stand one way or an- other at the pulls. "1t does not occur to must people that staying away from church is n kin- dred failure in duty to society. Men must vote for or against the church. It does not occur to most persons that non-attendance upon religious services is really nothing more nor less than a vote against religious services -a vote to remove theca from society. "Go to almost any one who is not it church attendant and say : "1 see you do not 1 elieve in God.' "He will answer indignantly that he does believe in God, even if he does not think it necessary to express that belief in him by attending church and doing him reverence. But how is the world to know his sentiment if ne does not cast his vote ? The world knows that by the mere action of going to chutch u man 8ay9: '1 believe in God."' The lower half of the page was given to a display announcement of the ser- vices of each church. Hut the real in- terest in such means lies in the way the end is attained. According to the Christian Advocate the Albany mini,- ters are satisfied on this soore : "The outdone of this first attack of the united church forces on the luke- warm, the backslidden, theeasy-going, was a notable increase, in every in- stance, at both the morning and even- ing set vices, though the day was some- what lowering, and iu the afternoon and evening there was a steady i.tin. the Albany ministers expressed them- selves very freely as highly pleased with the experiment, and entirely hopeful of the future." BUSINESS IS BUSINESS During the election campaign of 1911 the anti -reciprocity bigh tariff fed interests bombarded the English speaking people of Canada with dec- larations that if "the pact" were :ai- led and Canada should trade more freely with her neighbors the Doruin- ion would be pried out of the empire and become a mere adjunct to the United States. After two years of tbe Bosden government Canada imports three timed as much from the Units(' States as from Great Britain and ex- ports almost as much south of the 4border as to the mother country. It is certain that with the great reduc- tion of the Yankee tariff Canada's ex - pot is to the United States will increase proportionately. Where now is tbe "committee of eighteen" whose words and money were so much to the front in 1911? Where is "British born" Arthur Hawkes? Where do the Toronto World and News stand? The noisy Union Jack fever of two years ago has cooled. The noble eighteen are silent as long as their own high tariff protection is secure while their selling power to the United States is increas- ed. Arthdr Hawkes has become die - gusted with the "empty -shell" naval subterfuge of Mr. Borden. The To- ronto Nerve and World are demanding the abrogation of the Canadian duty on wheat and flour so that Canadian wheat and flour way go free to the United States. After such a somersault perhaps be- fore long Mr. Blondin will he offering to patch up the holes in the Union Jack be used to be so eloquent %bout, and will enlist Boursasa, Nantel, Cod - erre, Pelletier and the rest of the Nationalists of the Tory alliance into If you have $100 Thar or more in the Series.

LIBERAL FEDERATION DINNER Au epoch -marking dinner conduct- ed wholly by young Coen is rather a novelty In Ontario polities. For this reason the Liberal Club Federation of Ontario which in Hamilton on No- vember 2dtb 14 to entertain the Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. N. W. Rowell. K.C., M.P.P., deserves all the more credit. There will be coven laid for 500 guests and delegations are expected front each of the 44 feder- ation clubs throughout the province. The speakers of the evening will ad- dress themselves to ycung men, and will discuss public questions from the young man's standpoint. POPULAR LEGISLATOR DEAD Great regret is felt by men of both political parties at the death of Mr. George W. Neely. member of the Ontar- io legislature for East Middlesex. Mr. Neely was well liked and respected not only by his colleagues on the gov- ernment side, but also by the mem- bers of the op;usitiou. His death leaves the constituency of East Mid- dlesex in the Ont,trio house open once more, and gives the people of this rid- ing another bye -election following the Dominion contest. It is only a year ago that Mr. Neely defeated the Lib- eral candidate tor the Ontario house, Mr. Win. Sutherland, at the bye-e'ec- tion which was caused by the death of Mr. Robert Sutherland. The number of bye elections fur the Ontario house in the last 12 or 13 mbnths, nine its all. including Peel and this second contest in East Middlesex, has kept provincial politics active during the whole year. IMPRESSIVE SERVICES Brantford Preacher Gives Thanksgiving; Sermons in St. George's Sunday last being observed as the Thanksgiving festival in St. George's church that edifice was beautifully decorated with graine, fruits and flowers for the occasion. The interior of the church was a picture of loveli- ness and reflects the highest credit upon the ladies who did the decoration work. The special preacher was Rev. Archdeacon Mackeuz'e, of Brantford, and 'he preached two approptiate sermons. Its tbe mdrning he took his text from Genesis il., 8 : "And the Lord planted a garden." From this text the preacher went on to show that it eras a remarkable fact that the Bible alrnost opened and closed with stating that God had planted a garden. Referring to the garden, spoken of in the text, the minister ■fated that it seemed almost cecessary for man to be driven from the Garden of Eden into the rough, wide world to learn lessons, which he had refused to learn in the garden. Coming down to the present age he illustrated how that wherever the Angle -Saxon race bad gone. by Gad's hleesing and help, the people had made the desert into a garden and to blossom as the rose. As evidences of this the preacher pointed to Egypt, where Eng- lish capital and blains in building the great dams across the Nile was Wak- ing that land into one of plenty. He thought in coulee of time that Eng- land would get all her cotton in this country. Then speaking about Canada, he declared that by the actof providence, wher=e there was a shortage in one pat t, it was generally made up in the other. This year, however, he thought that all parts 'tad leen equally tressed with abundance. "It ie mat vellou-." be said, "toe rapid progress this country has made. i remember this part of fair and beauti- ful Ontario when it used to be called the Huron tract, which 100 years ago was the rendezvous of the Indian. Now it in teeming with population and is floutie' ing with industrial life and enterer e. "But greeter progt'ees than ever, which is almost like a fairy tale to me, is our Canal ia n northwest. Tbers in a country whit h about 33 years ago was almost. unheard of. Now three great continental railways traverse it immense towns and cities are spring- ing up everywhere and the wheat out- put frown that vast land ie enormous," declared the clergyman. He further went on to prove (hat as (sod had planted the cedar s of Lebanon, He had likewise planted not only the cedars of British Columbia but also the maple over this fair land of Can- ada- The bountiful harvest. the in- dustrial and political growth of the Coestry, in fact mati's progress was the hand of God, he con- tended, and while man had done almost marvellous things by the in- spiration of the Almighty people were apt to forget God cr if they had not toe; would have been able to accomplish more than tbey had done aiready. "If we .is sons .d clod's we must not be forgetful of Him, and if we are not eon, may i ask what has inspired man to do much acts. as be has done in the past," remarked the reverend gent lemaa. In closing he made a etrnne ex- hortation tolight against the henettlop sin of forgetfulne.s and also to keep in mind the proret-t' of old 'Lest we tor - The ser.oii was most. ompretenve and was neatened to hy the co*gvega- lion with a great deal of internee, as al -a was the one preached In the eves in 99erlel music Was given in • s*leo/W wanner tri the choir The asthma.

He has hear d of tbe great Samuel Johnson of old, with a 1 ghted candle, looking for an honest lean in the daytime but has never seen a coal oil lamp In an office before. The same State of affairs pre- vailed when the post office was visited, A big lamp decorated a shelf above the wicket, The Hawk ha* beard complaints on all *ides and with the rest of the people of Goderich wi 1 welcome the installing of the hydro power herr. • • • Although The Hawk may not 1 e much rf a ruatbemetician he has been puzzling lain head for sometime pa t in atternp,iug to solve the problem of converting an octagon into a square, "What an absurdity," say some of tt e people. Yet The Hawk would like to respectfully point out to them that they are making this blunder every time they epe►k of the octagonal figure, surroundiug the court house as the Square. From a Bird'a Eye View it looksmore like a circle than • square, Of course, it may be possible that The Hawk should have his ryas tested, but so far as he can ger, be believes that the "round ball hos got into the square hole" this time. *• In the course of his pre.tmbulations who should The Hawk meet but His Worship the Mayor. The Hawk had been taking a stroll around town and was trudging up the hill from 11e Dock when he met His Worship the Mayor. As most of the residents liv- ing in this pretty town of Goderich know what it is to climb th'a hill, The Hawk hopes that they .vou't be shocked when he says that his throat was dry. Trying to "curry favor" with the chief magistrate (in case he ebould ever get into trouble) he asked him to have some refreshment. The Mayor positively refused when The Hawk suggested a cigar. The frown which almost cut him in two was a repri wand for The Hawk and be vowk d that be would take the Mayor's advice and fi ow his example by not smok- ing a _ n. As to tion day is approaching The Hawk was ratter anxious to know whether His Worship the Mayor was going to aspire to the Mayor's chair again this coming year. Hie Worship the Mayor was non -committal on this matter but The Hawk as he shook a hearty good-bye told His Worship the Mayor that if he WAS in the field that he would give him a plumper every time, ••• When he was a nestling The Hawk remembers an old saying he learned from his father when he was instruct- ing the youngster always to he rever- ent when attending divine worship. He is now wondering if it applies to Goderich people. So far as be bas been able to learn it does not. The ditty runs : -Some go to cbutth just for a walk ; some go to church to laugh and talk,;: some go to church to bow and nod, but few go there to serve their God." The Hawk says that he hope* it does not apply in this town and he won't believe it dues. No doubt the clergy of the pl ice will 1 e g'ad to hear this. ••• So much wet, weather has had +t cleaning effect upon the -lusty raloe of The Hawk wed be is now t• ying to invrent sante mecbanicnl device which will make Goderich grow into another Toronto. But before be goes any further it might not be out of place to say that be believes the rot- ing fur the guarantee bylaw will be a step in that direction.
