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.

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 there for the settler, but in the forests Of Northern Ontario the settler could not -enter the bush without made, Regarding.

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.

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, J()1 'WO1tl su ally and i rdraptly done at'Tztly A,nrArr�lt cAel A d %. •',.Yr1/p.al y,,,y,.,,.J'r 7.:-A . .
