Greenock, committed suicide last Friday evening in the bush where he had been cutting wood all day. After supper on Friday evening he went out. When morning name and he did not return, the family was not alarmed as he was of a reticent nature and very uncommunicative regarding himself and hie doings. On going out into the bush the following morning the men were horrified to,fi.nd his life. lase remains lying near a log with ft great gash in his throat, supposed to have been inflicted with the wood -axe. "Attempting to abscond" is the charge laid against William Bender, who was arrested at Clinton on infor- mation from the chief of police of God. erich and taken tack to Goderich jail I bid evening. This is another chapter t., a rather fatuous liquor caee in which Bender who now lives at Zurich, and who ran a hotel in Heneall for a while, was charged with bringing liquor into e. 0. T, A. county fox, other than his personal use, and againet whom is pending a charge of Perjury. On this latter charge he bad been out on bail. It was his bondsman, a Zurich man, who evidently precipitated this crisis. He went to Goderich and refused to act as a bondsman for Bender any longer. Bender it appear?, had gone to Goderich on the same train to con - sulk bis lawyer. Bender left Goderich on the 3 p.m. train and Chief Postleth-" waite of that town telephoned to the Clinton chief to arrest him on the arrival of the train. This was done, and Chief Poetelthwaite of Goderich caste down on the 5 p.m. train and took Bender hack at 0;40, PROVINCIAL. PROHIBITION CONVENTION , Willey Hell, Toronto, Mar it 28th -30th. Great Gathering of Temperance Worker* Planned On Tuesday, Wedneeday and Thurs- day, Mardi 28th, 20.113 and 30t1t, the prohibition forces of Ontario will meet in their Annual Convention in Massey Hall, Toronto, In Great Britain, legislators are forcing upon the Iiquor traffic, in many localities, ouch rigid restrictions" as a few years ago would not have keen borne, In Canada military auth- orities went eo far as to demand pro- hibition in the neighborhood of train. ing camps, many citizens who before could not be classified as against the liquor traffic, have come out in favor of prohibition during the war, and the Provincial Government at presont Is considering how far it will be war ranted in going in this direction. This question must be settled soon, and its urgency will add greatly to the interest taken in this 1916 Parliament of Tenererance Workers, which will be of great importance. The work of the past years will be reviewed, the present situation will be considered and future action will be planned. Single -fare return rates on all lines from all points in Ontario have been secured and every church and temper- ance organization of the Province has been invited to send delegates. A° Program Committee is busy ar- ranging special featuresin addition to the main business of the Convention which is preeminently a deliberate body. The Convention will be addressed by a number of prominent Canadian public men on various related topica, There will also be present, as repre- sentatiee from the Anti -Saloon League of America, Hon, Wayne 13, Wheeler of Washington, D. C. National At. torney. The Convention singing will be charge of Fred Butler of New York city who, Dr. Wilber Chapman writes, is etbe world's greatest inter. Prefer of religious music," He will he assisted by Mrs. Butler pianist, and Prof. T. 0. Jeffere, organist. Another attraction will he Messrs. Hail & Summers in their dialogue debate "Wet vs, Dry." These gentle- men are, perhaps. the most effective campaigners in the Visited States and make a most unique, telling and force- ful presentation of the case. It is also planned that the base- ment of t.be Hall shall be set apart for an enlarged and improved exhibit of temperanee literature, postern, lantern slides and illustrations of various cam- paign and scientific work. These special features while adding to the attractiveness of this great (convention, will of course be over- shadowed by the importance of the main gaestione to be considered, the present personal duty of every Pro- vincial and Domiulon legislator and every elector in this great Empire crieie. It will be a gathering great in numbers and in its history making import. Fallacies fired Ti, the Editor:— The Liquor interests have been send ing out so many etatemente ralcuiat oil to deceive that with your pern:la- eion I purpose discussing each one very briefly, 1 The Personal Liberty League would have us to believe that West Virgin. ia'e financial difficulties were caueed by prohibition. That could not have been, for the Yost Law only came into effect July let. 1914. The truth is that the indebtedness which caused the trouble has been accumulating for years under liquor rule. Governor Hatfield says that men who opposed the law are now in its favor, and further "thousands of fatuiiles have been made happier, and grocery bille, rentals and other •necessary items are being promptly paid by hundreds of men who formerly drank and gambled away their earnings while wives and children were left without minis. tense, A Wheeling shoe merchant writes, "We are now selling shoes to then who used to beg for the old shoes left by our customers, That does not look as if prohibition was going to injure West Virginia„ 2 They say that many of the boys and girls in North Carolina had to work and thus were deprived of edu• cational opportunities. We frankly admit that that was true before prohi. bitten. Now the Superintendent of Education says that school attendance nearly doubled in two years after pro. hibition came into force. 3 They point out that Tenessee and North Carolina which are dry, have more poor than Florida and Louisiana, which are nearly dry. I have been in both, and it is quite true that North Carolina and Tenesbee had a great number of poor blacks, while Florida and Louisiana were rich states. Why did they fail to tell us that the paupers in the nine dryest states in 1915 were 48.5 per hundred thousand population while in the nine wettest states they were 127.7 — nearly three times as many? 4 They tell us in big head lines "Kentucky turns down prohibition." That is not true but it is true that the "personal liberty" members of the assembly refused the people the liber- ty to vote on the question. More than half of Kentucky is already dry so they knew what would happen if the people got their liberty to vote on the question. And still they cry for Liberty, 5 They say "You will be surprised to learn that the atatee lowest in Church memhersbip are all prohihi. tion states. Yes. we would he very much surprised, because Ex -Governor, Glen of North Carolina and Governor Capper of Kansas have told ue that in their states, church attendance has'. rapidly increased, A few years ago a :census of the wet and dry townships in Ohio showed that in the dry town- ships church membership inereased from 25% to 50% more rapidly than in the wet townships, 11.

There was a good gathering of the publishers and printers of Huron and Perth counties at Stratford on Friday, when matters of co-operation and business practice were discussed. The president, Mr. 13. B. Elliott, of The Wingham Times, occupied the chair. After the reading of the minute, of the last meeting the officers for the ensuing years were elected as follow?.. Honorary -President, W. R.
