The Grits are sharpening their swords To give the Tories fits, While they, with scorching bitter words Denounce the faithless Grits. All out of doors is fresh and green, But not more green than we Who help to run the Grit machine, Or bow the Tory knee, ,We hear the strident party call In words no one believer; The Liberate are traitors all, The Tories all are thieves. The birds are singing in the trees, Old Summer's back at lavt, The lilac scents the morning breeze. The orope are growing fast; Why should we leave these peaceful scenes, And don our vests and coats, To hear those chaps who spilled the beano Slangwhanging for our votes? If we give heed to every tale Told when the campaign's hot, The Tories all should be in jail, The Grits should all be shot. Let's raise more chickens, calvee and shoats, The politicians shun, Let's grow more beans, and wheat, and oats, And help defeat the Huh.

Warden Dr. Milne of Blyth, preeided. As the papers in Huron are not given an account of the council proceedings by the county clerk, we are only able to touch on a few of the important matters brought up and dealt with at the meeting. A motion by Messrs Nairn and Laithewaite of Goderich; asking that a property in Goderich be purchased for a children's shelter for the county. The committee; to which the matter was referred after inspecting the property, did not take kindly to the building and recommended that a committee be appointed to inquire into the poss- ibility of_ securing a more suitable building. They also recommended that the sum of $2,500 be set aside for the purohase of such a property, - For some time unfortunate children from Huron have been taken care of in Stratford, but it was felt it was now time for Huron to have a shelter of ite own. It has been suggested by an ex -warden of Bruce that if a suitable building could be secured in Wingham Bruce would be glad to pay half of the expense and join with this county in the privileges of the shelter. It would mean the saving or fuel, Wages, etc. We think thiit the McKenzie property, just across the bridge, would be an ideal situation, a more suitablebuild- ing could possibly not be found in the county, As Reeve Iebister is a mem- ber of the committee' doubtless he will use his influence to have the Children's Aid Shelter located here. Wingham is situated most centrally and conveniently reached from all parts of the counties. The voting for a District Represent- ative for Huron County again turn- ed it down, this tiii e, however, the vote was a tie, and was declared lost by the Warden. Huron is one of the very few counties in Ontario that will not appoint a District Representative. Whether it is the case of not wanting to epend the money on agricultural improvement or not we do not know, but each of the 46 counties in Ontario that have one say they could not get along ,without him. The salary is only $500 from the county and the remainder paid by the Ontario Gov- ernment- We are exceedingly pleased to note that the County °mencil has adopted the Good Roads Movement by a fine big majority, only two reeves voting against it. A representative of the Ontario Government was present and explained to the county that it would mean that they would adopt 300 miles of roads and divide it oyer the differ- ent municipalities but urged that it be chiefly on roads leading to market cen tree. The members of the council thought it would be well not to push the work until after the war. The representa- tive told them that whatever money was spent on road improvement now, the Government would pay 20 per cent of the cost, and if permanent roads are built it would pay 40 per cent, but the work must be done in a satisfactory manner in the interest of good roads. The County fathers also made an appropriation of $8,000 for Patriotic purposes. The amount of Wingham'e grant will be $132,15, it being divided according to the assessed value the same as last year. All societies doing Red Cross work are entitled to receive a share of this money. A special meeting of the Counbil will be held on June 16th to confirm Good Roads Bylaw.

SiR ROBERT BORDEN The Life, Character, Policies and Ideals of Canada's Great Prime Minister Great events have, in all ages, and among all peoplee, produced strong men, or rattier perhaps it is more true to say that the latent strength of the individual has risen to the challenge presented by a great necessity. It is the record of history, at all events that in every world epoch of the past there have been developed individual human forces which have stood out and have been remembered for their splendid achievements. The war now menacing civilization has found such men, This war has been rightly called the last etand of barbarism as exemp- lified by the militarism and autocracy of Prussia, Against that barbarism and that autocracy there have been arrayed elements that are proving and will prove to be resistless and all -con- quering. Behind those elements and directing them there are individuals, the great human forces that have ris- en up to eneure a final victory for freedom in this culessal struggle of light against darkness. The part that the Dominion of Can- ada could play in a struggle of such stupendous magnitude was probably under -estimated by the friends of Bri- SIR ROBERT,:e0RDEN tain as it undoubtedly was by her en- emies, That Canada has achieved so much more than was expected of her is in great measure due to the fact that there was in the Dominion when the crieis came, a man of commanding strength and courage combined with ability -and determination to give the fullest expression of the deep resolve of Canadians to share in the struggle upon the issues of which depends the maintenance of human liberty.

Sir Robert Borden was born in 1854 at Grand Pre; the storied Acadian vil- lage immortalized by Longfellow in "Evangeline", The Borden home- stead is still at Grand Pre, having been occupied by the mother of the Prime Minister until her death in the summer of 1915. The Bordene were United Empire Loyalists, and the strain is just as strong to -day in Sir Robert Borden as it was in his great grand -father who joined the stream of intrepid New England Loyalists at Nova Scotia in 1760. Young Robert Borden received hie early education at Acadia Villa Academy, Horton, and, after a ' course of study which fitted him for the teaching profession, went to New Jersey and spent several years there re.e a professor in the Glen- wood Institute. His expatriation was however, not for long. It is probable that, like countless other Nova Soo - dans who crossed to the United States, he intended from the beginning to re- turn to his native country. In any event that was his purpose during the later years of hie stay at the Glen- wood Institute and we find hint com- ing back to Nova Scotia and taking up the study of law. He was called to the bar in 187S -the year that witness- ed, the downfall of Mackenzie. As a lawyer Sir Robert Borden to Bred over his contemporaries at a w re time when Nova Scotia was the Mecca of able counsel. From the first he dis- played a profound knowledge of and a sacred regard for the fundamental principles of taw. "Law enlightened by Liberty and Liberty restrained by Law," had for him a real and abiding meaning, It is recalled of him in those days that he refused a retainer from the Dominion Government in order to protect the interest of a much humbler client in a lawsuit which, had he acted for the Government, would have brought him an imposing fee. He did this in the face of a somewhat peremp. tory and insistent demand from the then Primo N mister, Sir John Thomp• SOW a fact which reveals the high principles and steadfast character of the man, It le sometimes tauntingly said that Sir Robert Borden was formerly & supporter of the Liberal .party. The charge is true; but the oireuwstataces which brought him into the Oonser. 'ratiyo fold reheat nothing but credit Matiraaed On rags d f' r/se Stores • A'Y)61I I 11I'11(.*.T()4 •' Mr. and Mre.
