Premier le ft:rtanete i8 hie colleagues, Mr, Fer« gusop possesses clearness of mind, lee idity of statetuent and high eapletee for public business. Mr. McGarry is able and forceful—one of the strongest Web in the, House.

Altogether the Ministers have come ont of the session with Increaeed prestige. COUNCILLORS RESIGN The Luoknow council were some- what divided over the selection of d village constable. Three members voted for R. J. Cameron, who at pres- ent is a county constable, and the two others supported W. J. Douglas, who offered hie services for 5100 a year, or just half what Cameron would work for, the result Was that the two got sore and resigned, The following editorial taken from the Brussels Post deals very well with such men as these, who, when they do not get their own way go away and pout. "What a foolish notion some people have regarding life, viz just as soon as they meet with some r o- bulf or can't have their way whether right or wrong up go their heels, away goes the dashboard and after. this exhibition they resign their office or their share of the work. A cool bead and a steady nerve is worth a good deal in such situations and If argument will not suffice. after dating your ease plainly but kindly, cast your ballot or poll your vote and wait the outcome. Your judgment may not always bo right or your plans may sometimes be superseded, but don't fly oft the handle and fume as in so doing yod lose your influence and defeat the very purpose you aimed at. Luck - now has a case of somewhat similar type where two Councillors resigned because the three other members of the Board elected a constable, con- trary to their choice and at a larger salary. You take note of almost any argument or controversy and before long one or both of the parties get "mad" and as a rule, forsaking the ground of dieoussion, they pitch into personalities or outlandish statements, the utterance of which may rankle for many a. day. Some folk wear a cabbage leaf in their hat in the snmmerto keep their head cool and we have often thought if you and me. metaphorically, carried with us such a preventative what a large amount of contention and scrappiug would be avoided and good feliowehip and friendship would prevail. Not a mollycoddle a r variety y bu t o understandable, kindly method by which we would better understand the point of view of those with whom we differed. Good advice was once offered in these words, "If it be possible as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." Try the "cabbage leaf" plan and let us know how you come out, instead of having your Iittle tantrum over which some of you have not felt any too nice, even after the lapse of months. It's a good idea to come to the conclusion that we are not the only pebble on the beach and thereby pay some at- tention to the judgment of others." Reeve Johnston has since pretty well cleared up the minds of those who thought the council extravagant by showing where in a 'recent whiskey case the fine of $200 will be put into the village treasury whereas if the constable appointed was notr a county official the case would have had to be dealt with by others and the- fine would be paid to the county instead of to the village. The three councillors who remained on the board are now even stronger than ever in the eyes of the electors, THE ADVANCE APPRECIATED The following is a copy of one of the very many encouraging letters we receive from our subscribers; Dear Sir: -- Please find. enclosed 51.50 for my subscription for another year, t would not be without TILL ADVANCE for I am a Canadian and it is like a letter from home each week.
