VE1ORAL1ZING EXAMPLE'S.
In a pointed editorial last week the
Toronto News (Independent) deploi es
tlae fact that the boy or young man
who reads the pitpere to -day, has de-
plorable examples set before him in
the arena of politics, instead of high
ideals. The article says in part; —"Our
school boys are being taught, by ex-
ample, to dodge principles, to squirm
and wriggle for office, to fit out boats
for electoral piracy, to tamper with
ballots, to make false ballot -boxes, to
steal elections, ta commit every form
of treason against the couunonweath;
or to condone these things and profit
by them, while solemnly deploring
them by resolution. These accounts
are facts and the/ they should be re-
ported, and condeinmed, bob the effect
upon the youthful mind may not be
who1es5me."
The remedy suggested is:—"The in-
dependent elector, whatever may be
his party leanings, can apply the rem-
edy that the party eonvention would
reject. By turning out Government
after Government when its tenure of
office is maintained by fraud or cor-
ruption or trickery, he can render
fraud and corruption and trickery un-
profitabte and dangerous, He can
divest these crimes of the glamor of
success; and he can teach a leeson not
only to politicians, but to the youth
of the community."
LOST CONFIDENCI-j.
"I am delighted with the decision
the Convention has come to on the
temperance question," the sentence
the premier used in summing up the
aetion of the rebent Liberal Conven-
tion, seems to be a most unfortunate
statement for Mr. Ross to have made.
It is envolving him in all sorts of
trouble. The temperance advocates
denounce the action of the convention
and state that they have lost OP con-
fidence in Mr. Ross, as far as temper-
ance is coecerned. At the same time
they express satisfaction with the at-
titude of Mr. Whitney, stating that
"he has at least been honest with
them."
The temperance people have now
come to the conclusion that Mr. Ross
is no more in favor of advanced tem-
perance Legislatioo than is his politi-
cal opponent, Mr. Whitney. The in-
certainity which has characterized the
the position of the Liberals to tem-
perance for many years has at last
been ended. The promises Mr. Ross
has frequently made haye not been
fulfilled, and now he has taken the
stand that the Liberal Convention
has by its decision absolved him of his
protnises to the Temperance People.
Had the Premier at the conclusion
of the debate on the question at the
Convention, expressed himselt as been
dissappointed that the assembled wis-
dom ha.d not decided upon a more ad-
vanced plank on temperance, but, in
deference to the large assembled] ma-
jority, who were against it, he was
forced to bow to the inevitable, and
accept their decision; had he made
some such statement instead of ex-
pressing his "delight" at the decision,
the Hon. Geo. W. Ross woold have
still been considered a stnong advocate
of Tenwerance, even if the party were
not.
As the platfoerds stand no•w the
the temperance people may expect
the same consideration of the temper-
ance question from both parties.
In the approaching eleetion it may
reasonably be expected that the tem-
perance vote will be largely on the
Conservative side because of disap-
pointnient at the action of the Lib-
eral leader and increaseaconfidence
in the straight forward policy of the
Conservative leader.
NEW BIS.EZOF OF HURON-.
The Diocese of Huron is to be con-
gratulated upon the prompt and. har-
monious election of a Bishop to succeed
the lainented Bishop Baldwin. It
would have been unfortunate had
anything occurred tb mar the spirit
which existed in this diocese during
the episcopate of Dr. Baldwin. Arch-
deacon Williams has not the orator-
ical powers which made the late in-
cumbent of the office famed all over
the continent before he was elevated
to the bench, but be has learning,
knowledge of men and ponditions in
the field and successful experience,
and while evangelicals are willing to
rest content with °tie who was ap-
pointed a teacher in Huron College.
and a special preacher in St. Paul's
Cathedral by Bishop Baldwin, the
High Churchmen are equally certain
that they will receive justice and sym-
pathy from one whose course they
have vvatched far the laet fifteen years,
and who calls himself a moderate
Churchmen by eonviction and temper -
Men t.
He is a rxian bfrobast physkple, Only
tett years overthe minimum agelimitof
thirty-five, so that he will be able to
bring vigor to the diffiehleand otierous
task of administering the affairs of
such a huge diocese. He is no mere
ecclesiastic U the nerrow sense of
that term, but his battle againee te-
bercelosis,' and his endeavonts to ae
rouse the pnblic conseierice of Ontario
to the meauing and the danger of the
birth-rate have already brought bini
in touch with. the , public outside his
own etnnumnion, and Inchoate what
may be expeetea when a more elevated
position will give him a wider horizon,.
COUNTY COUNCIL.
Monday, the 19th instant, is Nomin-
ation day, for County Council. So far
we have only heard two names serious-
ly mentioned. those of Mr. Hugh
Specimen, of Exeter, a representative
for the past four years, and leir. James
Ballantyne, of lisborne. Mr. Speck•
-
man has net yet had the County War-
denship, and his many friends agree
Hutt, as be will get it next term, he
must be again returned, get the War-
denship and then retire. Stephen has
hada representative for font, years. It
is now Usborne's turn. Mr. Ballan-
tyne is an old Vsbotne Refortner, one
of the most prominent faarners in the
township and a member of the town-
ship council. With those two men
definitely in the field it looks like an
acclamation. They appear to fill the
bill.
NOTESZD COMMENTS
The Woodstock School Boatel last
week decided to return to the systern
of opening the schools at 9.30 nem in-
stead of nine, and to abolish the ore -
sent recess. This move was decided
upon after a three months trial of
the plan of opening at nine o'clock.
*
The wells and creeks are dry, and so
short is the supply of drinking water
for cattle in several parts of Ontario
that the farmers are contemplating
selling off their stock, The present
prospects are that frost will he plenti-
ful but no rain, and the condition may
become more serious during the win-
ter. The average rain fall during the
month of November for many years
has been 8,07 inches. Sometimes it
.amounts to six inches, but doring the
past November only eleven -thous-
andths of an inch.
* *
There is considerable rumor afloat
that Hon. A. G. Blair and Mr. Russell
were both concerned in a Plot to buy
up several big daily papers, and to do
other wonderful things, with a view
to overturning the Liberal Govern-
ment at the last Dominion Election.
Senator Dancl tumid is reported as say-
ing the rumors are correct, while
Messrs. .Blair and Russell emphatical-
ly deny. In these days of all sorts of
trickery it seems that nothing is too
great to attempt. It wouldbe inter-
estingto know just how much truth
i
there s in the reports.

The success which has attended the
Canadian exhibits in all lines of live
stock represented at the World's Ex-
position at St. Louis, -which closed
Wednesday night, is unparalleled in
the history of the fair. In horses, cat-
tle, sheep and swine the Canadian ex-
hibit was exceptionally good, while in
poultry they practically swept the
bon rds. Throughout the fair the Can-
adian building, wherein was located
the office of the superintendent of
the Canadian exhibit, G. R. Cottrell,
of Milton, was thronged with visitors.
A happy feature was the number of
reception rooms for the comfort of
the guests, a feature which, wile want-
ing in most of the buildings erected by
other nations and states. Mr. Cottrell,
with his assistants, was untiring in
his efforts to promote the interests of
the exhibitor te In his report, to be
submitted to the Dominion Depart--
rnent of Agriculture, Mr. Cottrell
points out that in cattle arid horses
Canada won over half the total prize
money offered.

From the City of St. Thomas' comes
the report of Rev. William Kettlewell,
having said some good sensible things.
Mr. Kettlewell says that with two ex-
ceptions he has always voted Liberal,
but that be cannot support the Ross
Government. He thinks a party
should be supported only when it does
.right. He sums the case up thus:
"If you support your partywhen it
does wrong, yon forfeit your influence
upon it for the right, and the party
will go on doing wrong, believing that
you will stick to it in spite of its cor-
rupt acts. The only way in which
you can influence your party for good
is to teach it that you are sufficiently
independent to oppose it, or, at least,
to withhold your support when it is
wrong. A. season in the cold shades
of opposition may be not only the best
fcr the country, but for the part. it-
self." ,

Both the Japanese and Russians
seem to attach great importance to
203 Metre Hill, one of the strongly
fortified forts in connection with Port
Arthur, and which the Japanese last
week captured Prom the Russians. at a
loss to the Mikado's artily of 15,000 in
killed and wounded, The Russiau
loss was much smaller. The beseiged
afterwards attempted to recapture the
hill butfailed. The position overlooks
the whole harbor and the town, and
the Japanese are now herriedly mount-
ing very heavy guns so as to sweep
the harbor and fortifications and com-
pel the brave defenders to surrender.
General Stossel is earning a great deal
of praise and sympathy hy his magni-
ficent defence of the fort, but unless
he Is successful in recapturing 208
Metre Hill, his chance of holding out
much longer is very shin.
At Miikden the armies seem to be
satisfied with engaging in slight
skirmishes which end sometimes in
l'avor of one and sometimes in favor of
the other, The Russians report the
centime of eight guns from the enemy

Donald Sotherland, the hero of
South Oxford. who in May, 1902, be-
came the first Conservative represent-
ative for the riding, was on Monday
last given the unanimous nomination
of the Convention.
* *
There seems to have been a dearth
of willing candidates at the Liberal
Convention in South Huron. No doubt,
they had plenty of wood men to choose
from but the trouble seems to have
been that the men, of the first, second
and third choices were not willing to
accept the nomination, whether from
the feet that the chance of election
is a hopeless one, or that they are
aware the Ross Government is in very
poor repute and a defence ails actions
would be a hard task, or whether it
was occasioned by press of private
business it is difficult to say. Filially,
however, at the adjourned Conven-
tion on Friday a gentleman, Rev. M.
0. McLennan, of Iiippen, accepted the
nomination. It is very unusual for a
minister of the gospel to become the
nominee of a party, although, if his
congregation be willing, there is no
reason why he may not do -so. Mr.
McLennan has been a resident of the
riding for only three years and con-
sequently he is known only in the im-
mediate neighborhood of Kippen.
During the next few weeks he will no
doubt be a busy marnstudying planks,
preparing addresses and making ac-
quaintances.

Kirkton
Denvetr.--A man of the highest integ-
rity and the most selling qualities
passed "to where beyond the regiotis
•there is peace," when William Switzee
of Kirkton, beard the „summons ol
His Master and arose and went,
eying his sheaves vvith hito. Living
-
a long life of useful and laborous toil
he had teemed the right to go. He
was a lad of but 14 years old vhen he
catue from Limerick county, Ireland,
with his father, John Snetzer, and
settled on the Mitchell Road, Blansta
ard. Theirs was the usual lot of the
pioneer, with the disconragements and
its hopes. On June 20, 1854, he mar-
ried Miss Sliarling, of Anderson. They
were married in St. Marys and settled
on a farm near Kirkton. Last June
they celebrated the golden anniver-
sary of their wedding, and the friends
who gathered there told of the oseful
lives they both had lived during that
fifty years. Besides his wife there
survive him seven sons and four
daughters. His death was a sadden
one due to apoplexy. On Monday he
had done his usual chores including
some snow shovelling. About 3.30

the stomach. Shortly afterwards,
while sitting in a chair, with a sudden
gasp his spirit left the body. The fun-
eral took place to Kirkton cemetery
on Wednesday afternoon and was very
largely' attended. The services were
conducted by the Rev,, S. Anderson,
his pastor. The late Mr. William
Switzer was a man greatly esteemed
and beloved. He was honorable in his
life, fearless in the discharge of his
duties and bore before his friends aud
neighbors the "white flower" of a good
life. itt the days when men were
known for their deeds rather than
their words he did his full share in
-making Blanshard the banner town-
ship it is. And now, his toil laid aside
he rests. The harbor bar is crossed
and all is well.
