HURON'S GRAND OLD MAN
Mr. Musgrove One of Ontario's
Busiest Representatives
VIE WING : .. ADVANCE
T1ureday Mareltl6 1016
Possibly no member of the Legisla-
tive Assembly is more popular or
more depended openby the members
of the house than is one own grand
old man frotn North Moron, Mt. A. H.
Musgrove, When the different come
mitteea were named at the opening of
the present eeselon we find his name
on seven out of the ten committees
A. H. MUSGROVE, M. L, A.
appointed. they are ae follows: corn-,
mittee on Railways; committee on pri-
vate bille; committee on public ac•
counts; committee on municipal law;
committee on?agriculture and colons.
ization; committee on fish- and game;
and committee on printing. Not only
1e Mr. Musgrove a valued committee-
man but he ie a shrewd debater. On
Thursday of• Last week. Mr. Sam
Clarke of West Northumterland took
the responsibility to criticize the ex-
penditures made by the government.
the building of the new government
house and rfiaally the •latest temper.
once referendum,' suggesting that be
thought the liquor men should have
the pri tilege to sell off their supply of
wet goods between now and July
without charging them licensee and
then cut off the sales without going to
the country at all. Mr. Musgrove an•
swered•him pointing out that it was
easy enough for a member to "poke
.:.fun" at an item and to talk largely
about, economy, but the Opposition
r meinbere as yet had. failed to point out
a singleinetance where an item of ex-
, penditure• could be cut down.
He expreesed ` surprise that . Mr.
'Clarke should have expressed himself
on the prohibition issue, as he himself
bald out a'very sharp corner on this
. same matter.
ft waa not an easy matter, as Mr
Clarke had said, to finance this Pr.•o-
vince with inany sources of revenue
eat off. It was not easy to place a
new tax on corporations under present
circumstances, but it has been done.
• • • He was, glad to know that ate revenue
for the'past year had been able, not-
withstanding the ewer, to meet the
needs of the Province.
He wished tc :point out a new source
of wealth not taken into account bK
7:44 Provincial Treasurer. During the.
four.yeare_from 1910 to 1914 farm lands
• • had increased in value ftiom $700,000.-
NO..:dco;. $790,000.000:., buildings from
•$308,000,000 to $347,000,000; implemen is
$10,000,000 and Stock from $194,000,000
to $200.000,000... The per capita in-
crease for the Province was $200.
The farmer bad not begun to get
wealthy until he had turned manufac-
turer, he saidin reference to the fact
that during the same four years the
rural population had decreased in por-
portion to the urban population. It
used to be that there Was no ecientifle
farming. In those days farmers threw
agricultural articles into the waste
basket. But all this had changed, and
the result was shown in the figures
Above. -
He dealt with the increases in ex-
penditure between 1900 and 1915,, men-
tioned by Mr. C. M. Bowman.
One of these was the increased cost
of civil government. 'Prue, there had
been an increase. but meantime there
bad been a much larger increase iu the
revenue produced by the department.
Would anyone expect that the in.
r creased business could be done with
the same staff?
He asked if anyone would object to
paying $000,000 for roads in New On-
tario. It Was different in the prairies
Made roads were not needed at once

Regarding. Mr. (larke'e remarks as
to graft, he supposed that in the ex•

dollars a dollar or two might go a•1•

Following the great demonstration.
in Toronto when the monster Prohibi-
tion petition was presented to the
Government coves the ,Annual Pro-
hibition Convention of the Ontario
Branch of the Dominion Alliance,
March 28t11 -80th, which in view of
present cireumetances promises to be
the most mntn'ntone of any that have
preceded it.
Aside from the important emotion
of the action to be taken by the Al-
liance at this critical junctere there
will be many special features of more
than passing interest, Among these
are Hall and Summers, Probably the
most effective up-to-date campaign
novelty in the big prohibition fiiSht le
the States is the now celebrated dia-
logue debate "Wet vs. Dry," by "Baal
and Summers, These men have cam-
paigned in a great many states in the
Union, and with phenomenal resulr•F.
"Bryan is Eloquent; Roosevelt is
blustery; Taft is brainy; Wilson is
logioal, Then itis known that, F+ape -
lin was wise; J.-ffereon diplomatic, and
Hamilton brilliant. Mix with them
Bitty Sunday enthueiasm, Sam Jones
gruffuess and Lincoln humor and
pathos and you have Hall and Sum -
mere, the ace* of trumps of prohibi
tion."
Hon. Wayne B. Wheeler one of the
outstanding leaders of the temperance
movement in the United States is the
national attorney of the Anti -Saloon
League. Mr, Wheeler wag' for some
years State Superintendent of the
Ohio Anti -Saloon League, and con..
mended the forces ,there in some of
their hardest fought battles. He now
has charge of the legislative campaign
at Washington, where a national pro-
hibition bill is before Congress. Mr.
Wheeler is a most forceful and attrac-
tive speaker and, coming as he does,
officially representing that great fight-
ing organization the Anti -Saloon
League, his presence will be an inspir-
ation and help to us in our campaign
here.
A feature of the Convention will be
a military band concert by the full.
regimental band of the Queen's Own
Rifles, under the leadership of Band-
master B. H. Barrow. No baud in
Canada stands higher in military and
musical circles than the Queen's Own.
A great treat is in store for those who
are privileged to be present at this
concert.
The Program Committee has been
particularly fortunate in securing the
services of the eminent New York City
Basso, Mr, Fred Butler, whom Dr.
Wilbur Chapman describes as "the
world's greatest interpreter of sacred
music." Mr. Butler was formerly with
the Alice Neilson Opera Company, but
bas in recent years given his time to
temperance and evangelistic work.
Mrs. Butler will assist her talented
husband as pianist and the entire
conduct of the Convention singing
will be under Mr. Butler's direction.
Prof. P. C. Jeffers, who has for
several years presided over the grand
organ in Massey Hail; willagain assist
in this way. Prof. Jeffers is in the
front rank of Canadian organists, and
his masterly handling of the Hall
instrument has contributed greatly to
the pleasure and effectiveness of the
Convention singing.
Every minute of this great Conven-
tion program will be chuck full of
interesting items. Special railway
rates have been arranged.
THE WAR
The following lines have been con-
tributed by a blind girl who is at pre.
sent a pupil of the Brantford School
for the Blind.
Do you ask of me a reason,
For the war which sacks our land?
w as it the atrocious murder,
Of the Arch -duke Ferdinand?
Was it Servia's ambition
To enlarge her small domain?
Or perhaps 'twee France aspiring
To redc1aii n Alsace-Lorraine.
Yes, in this gigantic struggle
Each of these has had its part;
But it has a deeper reason
For its stimulus and heart.
Long he,e Germany been waiting,
Working, praying, for the hour
When upon her arch -foe England,
She might exercise her power.
Still does some one ask the question,
"Why did England join the fray?"
Was it for a ecrap of paper?
As the Germans love to say?
NO1 'twas for her etainleee honor,
Britain's always held so high;
England's word was never broken,
She would scorn to tell a lie.
Could she see poor little Belgium
Torn and trampled in the strife,
When to her the name of freedom,
Was as precious as her life?
","Boys, Your King end Country need
you,"
Through h the Empire g pre tinge the cry;
And the brave boys proudly answer,
"Wo will conquer or we'll .die."
From the Colonies they Basten,
Proud to serve their country's need ;
Caring not for death and danger
But determined to sueaeed,
See our brave Canadian eoldlere,
In their tufts of khaki clad,
Going forth to guard our freedom,
Let us cheer each gallant band,
Germany, thou treatybreaker,
Who will now believe thy vows?
Thou shalt not escape from England,
'Till.
tliy haughty spirit; bovs,
Yes, , the reckoning day le coming,
Sere as life succeeds to life;
And the Kaiser will be wirer
Tire the ending of the strife,
