This week should see the finish et the road making in, the business sec - tier). of Exeter. Work has been 'com- menced at the North End. July no to the present has been a eretty .heavy rain month. In some sections; of Ontario it has `been the heaviest ever xecorded. In this im- mediate district the fall has not been as heavy as in other parts. The crops have been affected, particularly the hay crop the harvesting of wha,ch has been wry catchy. Most of the hay in this sevtron. is now in the barns. Extensive +damage, valued at thous- ands of dollars, is said to have been clone to ;the weeeat fields of Elgin County where tee Hessian fly has been very busy in the western town- ships, and the weevil in the eastern part of the county. Wheat fields that look like 30 or ,forty bushels will not Yield ten. because of the fly. In the Huron district we have. ,riot seen any evidence of the fly.

The action, rut forth by the present council in putting down the rev) on MainStreet has far too, long been delayed, and as a result of that delay we as a municipality :have been made to suffer much fonancially. We venture to say that had the pres- ent wort: been performed fifteen or twenty years ago the cost would have been ,easily less than one-half of the present price, irrespective of the gov- ernment grant, thus bearing out the std adaje, that delays are dangerous, It has proven so in this case, much to aur regret, We have been spend- ing thousands of dollars annually in road repairs, as well as the public hav- ing to draw loads and drive through a veritable. mud bed, in some places almost axle deep, every spring and fall, and the whole thing bas beenan eye- sore as well as the tgreat irieonven.ence to everybody, both in and out of town. We have been practising false ,econe omy ;for years,:then surely we have had enough of slip -shod methods which Ls atei her born of ecconarmic principle or good business methods, There has not been a year in the his- tory of ;Exeter, to my recollection, that the matter'aof better roads .has not been suggested at municipal nomkma.- tien meetings and invariably when the suggestions of better roads have been made by the various Can- dictate,. andictate. they have been; most heartily extdorsed by the ratepayers. But, the election over sell was over, and the good promises ended for =other year. "this Council started out with a broad- er visie . and a more commendable de- termination, but it looks as though they are going to fall down at a time when they should be putting their shoulder to the wheeI and further prop-, scouting a work - that they have begun but which tlfey seem loath to _finish. I hake :heard of no action being taken regarding. your suggcstioms, as yet, and I think it is .high time that some- thing was being done. There could be no better that I can see of handling the project than that you have so apt - i). suggested, and which seems to me should appeal to everybody interested. I would urge for immediate action on tee part of the Council. A CITIZEN, COMMUNICATION To the Editor: Sres--At the taext general election, we shall have to choose a course for the future. That choice involves both exter.nal relations and the means by which we expect to pay our way. No more vital. matters have ever de vended ices the result of any election. The .more the voter informs himself and casts aside prejudices, .the more likely he is to ,,help ,iah, arriving at a sound and workable policy. External circumstancat and the play upon them of interests I -emote from ours have hitherto decided our destiny withouf our knowledge. The American Civil War, South african War and the World War are cases in point Most wars are made possible . by some underlying condition so import- ant that hostile interests prefer to stake everything rather than make concessions to oppottents. The Southern States exported cot- ton and were not mar ufactu ring. The North was largely manufactu ring and cheap freight carriers were not yet 'known. Cotton, was the export- able cash crop that paid interest on debt and put the ,whole Union in funds in. Europe for mostpurposes. The South, could live with free trade to Europe. It had a choice be- ween that and free trade within .the Union The North, hadno such choice With its vast system of unobstructed internal trade, there; was no future be- fore the North comparable with that promised by the Union. This promise time made good and incidentally show- ed that the South would have done better not to have elected for seces- sion. At the time, however, the South thought it could separate without dis- advantage;aand the North knew itcould not let the South go. Except for this underlying circumstance, the war could net have happened, and the passions, politics, literature, -eloquence and mil- itary glory of that epoch are best un- derstood whein, it is ,borne, cion mind. It was the Civil Warr and the way. it ;eindee that brought about Confed- eratioln. The end- found France with an army In Mlexico trying to set up an Empire under the auspices of Nance- -eon III., and Great .Britain had one in Cada. There ;were in American minds grievances against both. The Frencl in Mexico were .a menace and a vielation ,of the Munroe Doctrine. Against the English! were claims for ships sunk by Alaabama, and for enor- mous indirect damages for interference with trade.
