Musgrove le always Heard with Pleasure In the review of the management of Provincial affaire wbich is always a feature on the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne in the Legislature, no member is heard with greater interest or more respect than the representative from North Huron, Mr,A. H. Musgrove. In the years that Mr, Musgrove has occupied a seat in the Legislature be has im- pressed himself by his lucid discus cions of public affairs a,nd hie lotimete knowledge of the needs of the agricul- tural sections. In hie address last week he referred particularly to the beneficial effect of the Ontario 7'em perance Act and applauded the cour- age of the Prime Minister in proposing she measure as a war time neoessity. He congratulated the Province upon the growing popularity of the Act which was largely the result of its efficient and non -partizan enforcement by the Board of License Commissioners. After outlining in detail the patriotic work of the Government during the year he challenged the opposition to point to one wrong or, irregular act on the part of the Government in the disposal of the proceeds of the war. tax. Proceeding he commented on the dignified and patriotic note struck by the mover and seconder of the address and also upon the able speech deliver- ed by the Leader of the Government. In these times of stress and trouble it was agreed on all sides that every energy should be centred upon the. winning of the war, but from the tone of the speeches of the Leader of the Opposition and of the Member for South Wellington (Mr. Carter) it was clear that this would not be the case. Supporters of the Government in the House and in the Country were quite prepared to accept the issue. The Conservative Party in peace as well as in war has managed the affairs of the Province with honesty, fore- sight and ability, Under their man. agement the political atmosphere had been purified and the more sensitive public conscience created. The great men of the party, Messrs Whitney, Matheson, Foy and Duff have passed away; but they had left able succes- sors who would continue the same policy of progress, The Members of the Government were to be compli- mented for the aid they had given the Empire in persecuting the war, for their patriotic addresses, in mak- ing grants to assist battnlionb to re- cruit, in grants to hospitals and pro- visions for the care of returned soldiers. The recordist the Government would challenge the moat searching and min- ute scrutiny (applause) The speaker then referred to the splendid services rendered to the Nation by Sir Ronert Borden and Sir Thomas White, particutai ty to the latter for his masterly administ,'ation of the finances of the Dominion, and to the great work of the National Service Committee, the Imperial Mun- tion e B clad and the Pension Board. "We are under a lee tn,X ttbligw,ion to all who have enlisted and have given their lives in the service of the Empire. The wives and children of all those who have gone overseas should be well erred for by the peon! e of tine Province+ and o2 Ihts D minion and I am glad re) n+rre•Ahur. a gnnnrous system of pentli„ns u li +. .•o h,,. h• d for these people." (>ppioa• ,) Referring to the '.warn,+)tr baa the Conservative P.trty should flava acted sooner in introducing prohibition Mr. Muegrovo pointed oar that_ although the people of the Province had on three different oecasione, viz., 189.4, and prior to that in 1893 as pert of a Dominion vote and again in 1002 on the Referendum, voted f•'r prohibition by a large maj srity yet the Liberal Party, of which the Leader of the Op- position was an active and induetrioue supporter, refused to do anything. The rigid and impartial enforcement of the Liquor License Act, together With many important amendments made by the Conservative Gow"rment had paved the way for prohibition. With regard to the election of 1914 the policy of the opposition was only a half measure. It did not tench the shops of whisk there were 21$ scatter- ed all over the Province, and the pres- ence of these shops would have destroyed the effect of any prohibitory measure. Under the Ontario Temp- erance Act shops were abolished along With other agencies for tho retail Bale of liquor and prohibition as far as it was possible in Ontario was adopted. Here theepeeker quoted the attitude of the IateSir Jamec'Whitney towards the sleeps. Was the Leader of the Opposition afraid that some of his fel- lowera would wander (rein the fold? Referring to the bye..eleotion in North 'Perth and Southwest 'Toronto, where the Liberals had united with the Ontario Temperance Aet to defeat a supporter of the U.lvernntent that had enacted prohibitory legislation he said that this was in line with the practise of the liberals wherever they thought they could scourer a political advantage, The member for South Wellington had gene into West €dim cor to inlet those who were hoettle to the Temparanoe Legislation in order to '(C1out4utlo an page 4) L.s.!PeriionalsElj Mr, Chloe.

Woman's Institute The regular meeting of the town council was held in the Council Obamber on Monday evening. Mayor McKibben presided. The minutes of the last regular and special meetings were e w e l ad and approved. A communication from the Outario Municipal Association asking the coun- cil to affiliate with them, was read and left over. A.letter was read from the Woman's Institute in which they asked for a grant from the council of $100, This communicatiou caused some discus- sion. The mayor thought that as the Ladies' Patriotic Society was also do- ing patriotic work that the council was 10 duty bound to grant them a larger donation than that which the Women's Institute were entitled to as the latter received support from the townships of Turnberry and Morrie and the former was purely a local or- ganization. Messrs •Binkley and Tip - ling thought that when the Women's Institute were willing to buy yarn and knit socks for the boys who are fighting our battles they should re- ceive some encouragement and their request should be granted. The May- or stated he was quite favorable to their receiving this donation, Mr, Spotton said that the council should get some system to raise money for such grants and not have these large donations taken out of the general fund, He suggested the issuing of de- bentures. Reeve Iebieter stated that he had divided the county grant be. tween the Women's Institute and the' Ladies' Patriotic Society. To the former he had given $42 50 and to the latter $90. Moved by Councillors Spotton and Gurney that tills Council approve of the action of Reeve Isbieter in appor- tioning from the County grant the sum of $90 to the Ladies' Patriotic Society and $42.50 to the Women's Iustitute.—Car ried, Moved by Councillors Binkley and Tipling that this council make a grant of $2000 for various Patriotic purposes and that debentures for that amount be issued, same to `run over a period of ten years.—Carried.

Found again asked the council whet they were, going to do about the 55 which he claimed to have paid in taxes for a sewer which does not exist. The council explained to him that the sewer which he paid for ran along the side of his property and not along the front as he was led to believe. The Fire Brigade extended to the council and town officials an invitation to a progressive euohre party to be held, in their hall on Thursday night, They also recommended that Mr. Geo. Olver be appointed to their company to, fill the vacancy caused by the re- moval of Mr. 3, W. Hewer from town. On motion of Reeve Isbieter and Coun. FARMER'S CONVEN- 'f10N, WINGHAM, FRIT, .

Councillor Binkley gave a report .of the Hydro Radial meeting which he recently attended•in Toronto. ' Reeve Iebieter on being asked by the Mayor for a report of the county council proceedings stated that he did no., think it worth his while as the local press had given a very good ac- count of the proceedings. Mr. Spot - ton asked the Reeve if he thought the High Schools of the county were re- ceiving a fair grant in comparison with the continuation schools. The reeve J'eplied that they possibly were not, but that he was satisfied Brussels, Blyth and Exeter Continuation schools were really receiving more than their share, He promised to look into the matter, The finance committee reported favorable to the passing of a number of accounts and on motion of Council- lors Binkley and Tipling they were passed and read. The clerk *reported having received a cheque for $31.20 from the Young Estate for pipe, but he had not accept- ed ithe the account sent therm was for about $48. Mr. Gurney did not know how much pipe they had taken but he had promised his services to them if they would only tell him when they wished to remove the pipe. It had. been measured before it was taken and afterwards and there was a dif- ference of 80 feet valued at 60 cents per foot. Moved by Binkley and Tipling that Mr. Young's cheque of $31.20 be accepted in payment of pipe acct. in full. After the following amendment had been made by Spotton and Wil- ford viz. that the settlement of the Young estate pipe be referred to the committee, Gurney, BInkley and Mayor, with power to settle. Mr. Bickley reported that Mr. How- son would meet the committee as soon as he was able to be around again, in regard to the re -arranging for power. He also stated that Mr. Lepard's agree- ment had been signed, the rate to be 3 cents per k, w. hour and after 750 k. w. were reached, 2 cents per k, w. hour.
