AN OPEN LETTER Advertisement The fourteenth annual opening of the Wingham. Business College takes place on Monday, August 0.b. This echool bas moved to more suitable premises in the Meyer Bleck, one door south of Dudley Holmes' law ofiic e. Oar new premises are well appointed and have been arranged with a view to the health and comfort of our stud- ents; they will be cool in summer and warm in winter, They are also easy of acoeee, only one easy stair, and not a "Sabbath Day's Journey" as form ally, The staff for the ooming year, will as usual, be strong in their respeetive departments. Mr, John Morritt, the acting principal in the absence of Sergeant Foster Ferguson who ie on a ctivo service in France, will again be in charge. Mr. Morritt last year gave our students entire satis- faction and he is continually in receipt of letters from former graduates, who have taken a poeition, thanking him for his interest and thoroughness• in - their courses. The shorthand depart- ment will be headed by a lady highly recommended by John R, Gregg, the "e K_ author of the Gregg Shorthand System This lady has a superior education and will be well qualified for her work. Thier year we will have a class in Isaac Pitman Shorthand inetructed by Mr. Morritt, It has never been our custom to do extensive and doubtful advertising; instead of issuing fancy catalogues and taking up costly apace iii nemm- papere, we have preferred to spend that money in highly qualified teach- ers. If any young people are in doubt as to what business college they should attend, we ask them to simply send ue a post catld and we rill give them the names and addresses of scores of our former graduates from their own vici- nity, they can write these. It has al- ways been our policy to ask for new business on recommendations of our old graduates. Hundreds of young people are studying in their own homes by means of our mail course thereby, shortening their term at the busineee college and thus saving board money. In the past we have had opposition in many places and it has been our custom never to mention them; three tithes in the past we have had •opposi• tione in other centres and our work stood the test sufficiently, that in each and every case they retired from the field. However the firm of Elliott and MacLachlan have advertised opening a branch in Wingham and their ad vertising is so untruthful that it be- hooves us to issue a word of warning. In the WinghamAdvanoe of July 12th Elliott and MacLachlan state that Mr. Arthur Haviland, who is to be princi- pal of their branch here, was two years principaLof the Bryant and Stratton (Continued on page 8) i�.

ANOTHER LIBERAL SPEAKS ()pen Letter From Hon. Clifford Sifton Former Liberal Cabinet Minister "If Sir Wilftld Laurier is returned to power in the approaching election two-thirds of his folio were in Parlia- ment will be pledged to the hilt againet conscription and pledged to the hilt against anything but a per- functory and ineffective participation in the war," says Sir Clifford Siftou in on open letter which be has addressed to Hon. Hewitt Bostock, the Liberal leader in the Senate, Sir Crit itti re- views the situation wbiotl mutt be re- garded by Mr, Bostock and hie out - leagues when the Military Service Bill is brought before the Upper Chamber. The overwheltning Wiper - tante: obliterates all considerations of persons or parties. lie expresses re- gret that Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not agree to an extension ,of the term of Canadian Parliament and that the Liberal leader has determined to force an election with conscription as the issue, As Sir Clifford sees the situa- tion, an effort is being made to unite behind a solid Quebec all the elements of the population who are hostile or lukewarm in regard to the war to- gether with certain of the larger busi. nese interests who feel that conscript- ion will interfere with their operations, If that combination succeeds, he says the anti -war party of Quebec will dictate Sir Wilfred Laurier's pol- icy as it hi directing it now. There will be no conscription, no recruiting in Quebec, and under these circum- stances, it will be irnpoaeible to raise troops in other parte of Canada, Tho decision of the present issue, declares Sir Clifford, will determine "whether Canada is a nation dominated and held together by a national will and a national sense of honor, or is a belp- lees aggregation of sectional comumi- tiee•held together only by considera- tion of sectional interest." In only one way, he concludes, can the situa- tion be met, "by the formation of a union war Goverment, administered on non-partisan lines, who will straightway appeal for a mandate tq the people of Canada and who can consistently be supported by every element in the population that is loyal to the cause." Sir Clifford Sifton's letter is ae follows; Ottawa, July 23. Hon. Hewitt Bostock, the Senate, Ot- tawa: "My Dear Bostock; Will you permit an onlooker to respectfully express his views on the present grave crisis in the affairs of Canada. "As the leader of the Liberal party in the Senate you will shortly be call ed to deal with the Military Service Bill. You and your colleagues will bo faced with a grave responsibility," "The world is in the final stages of a death grapple, No such dire and fear- 1ultragedy has ever before occurred in the known history of mankind. The forces of tyranny and reaction throughout the world have rallied for a last desperate struggle, The fate of liberty, human rights and free modern civilization are at stake. The issue is still altogether undecided and hangs in the balance. "We have 80,000 men in the fighting line, It le not more than our shere. Their numbers are being daily dimin- ished by death and the casualties of war. They are driven to the utmost of their physical powers by lack of re- serves. Our reinforcements aro al- most exhausted, "I am confident that I voice tbo sen• timents of many thousands of Cana- dians when I say that at this supreme mornent we care nothing for Borden or Laurier, Conservatism or Liberalism The overwhelming importance of the crisis absolutely obliterates all consid- erations of persons or parties, The only thing that matters is: 61. To plat every possible ounce of force into our striking power with men, guns and muuitione in order to help the allies to win the victory for liberty. "2. To stand by our men at the front and give them abundant rein- forcements and reserves to admit of refit and recuperation,. "3. To maintain the honor of Can- ada and redeem our pledge to see the War through to the limit of our caps- city. - "In autumn with Many others, I had hoped that -Sir Wilfred Laurier, if he could not join.a union overnment, woulda agree to e to ion ofthe g n � s life of Parliament so as to permit the Barden Government to get on with its war policy, To the profound regret' of many thousands of his 'best Mende, he has decided upoit another course. 1 have no oriticfsm. to oriei upon his course, nor anything except respect- ful sympathy for the diMeultiee of his position, "The 4aets, however, mustbe square ly faced, The meaning of'hile Wilfrid's attitude, and that of his principal etipportere. in Quebec, ie that they have determined to forge an election on the iltigle WOOS of coneerlption, earedaily d o - Reed the �spe�'oh s hie w l h a y be- leg delivered and yon will And that their pulley in effect ire i'11.400 emlleeription.

Sarah Bernhardt, which was put on ab The picture House. on Wednesday last, under the auspices of the Ladle's Patriotic Society, was not well patronized. We trust the good citizens of Wingham have not tired of helping the Ladies Patriotic Society in their noble wc.rk. The ladies who had the work in charge have reason to feel discouraged because they were counting on big door receipts: The saino picture was obown for 'four Weeks in one of New Yorke beat threatree and seats sold for WO: one week in Buffalo at $1.00 a ticket ands booked a return engagement.

A Poor Duch of Sports One would think a liquor firm that is allowed to hang out its sign in Quebec, and from that centre distrib- ute the poison freely over Ontario would at klub eo reciprocate the favor as to buy its stamps in Canada and help finance tho postal service of the Dominion. But a Montreal booze house, which flooded Wingham with its literature loot week, had its lettere mailed from Baltimore, Md., and they reached town bearing the `Yankee two. cent stamp. In this tvay the firm evaded paying the lc. War tax, and Blinked out of helping to finance the fight, which Canada is waging on the Western front. And this by a firm, which is sending its rot•gut over On. tario and other dry parts of Canada, le doing mare towards hindering the chances of Canada in the war than it ever could by knavishly running across the border with rte letters to escape the extra Io, war stamp that the Domin- ioa sorely needs in he present etreggle. With the Province cif Quebec playing. blacker in the war, and some, if not ell, of its liquor firms dodging Canada's war tax, we would probably search the world in vain for a poorer bunch 1 of sports.
