Farming is a business and a good one. To make it the suc- cess it ought to be, business methods must be taken advantage of.

PHILLIPS President Secretary The Truth Concerning the Challenges ? of the Temperance` Party There have been so many garbled reports about the challenges that the the Temperance Party have hurled at the =offending Huron County Busi- ness Men's Association, that we think a plain statement of what has actually occurred will serve to disabuse many minds of erroneous impressions. On the 30th of last October the published in the press throughout the County that, thinking' a public ,lebate would be the best and quickest mean s of giving the voter informa- tion, we challenged those who favored the Scott Act to debate the following resolution,— Resolved that Prohibitio_i is funda- mentally wrong in principle, un-chris- tiatt in character, and powerless as a remedy for drunkenness. We added that we would name a man as our champion, and, meet any mat having the indorsement of the. Dominion Alliance, each side to pay one-half the expenses of .holding the ,lebate, :eport;ing and printing the speeches of the debaters, and mailing a copy to e.tc:z and every voter in the County. • From that day to this, .no attention has been paid ; to our challenge. In spite of the fairness of the offer, it. bas never been accepted, It is true Rev, S..Ail J .,n, having misread our challenge, or never having read it at all and taking as correct, without due enquiry some wild rumor that reach- ed his ears, wrote to the press and stated that I personally haling thrown out a challenge to meet anybody to debate this question, he would himself meet me. I replied in the press, and pointed out to the reverend gentleman his mistake, Since them, there has been an omin- ous silence, unrelieved until the 15th inst. when there. appeared an un- signed paragraph, an ordinary "local' stating that there, would be a meeting in Clinton "some' next week —date even then uncertain -at which "Ontario's chief authority on all tem- perance questions" (Heaven help On- tario) "Rev. B. H. Spence of Toronto would be present. Further, the Tem- perance Executive of the County ex- tended a challenge to the Huron County Business' Men's Association to be represented at this meeting by any. man ,in America. The writer of this article could not believe his eyes. He called up Mr. A T. Cooper,- (Clinton's "chief author- ity on all temperance questions") and asked hem if the paragraph were au- thentic He replied that it was. This morning 17th Mr. Cooper volunteered the information that the date of this momentous meeting %vas settled fox the 22nd—so practically, after hav- ing our challenge before them for over two months and a half, they finally,` lour days before their meet- ing,became possessed of sufficient courage to make the proposal they did. The Huron County Business Men's Association executive are not as fool- ish ac some people think The whole thing is nothing but a trick. The Temperance their Party have proved inability t,,cir fear, or their =desire,or a mixture • of the whole three, to accept our challenge of Oct, 30th, 'They cannot in any ,falr mind suc- cessfully wriggle out of their position by. seeking in their childishly weak manner to appear as though they were the original ,challengers, Let them go on, and have their meet ing. Let those who will, gather, to lis ten to , this "Ontario's chief author- ity'title wemay fairly presume he gained itt the Cooper institute.
