The meetings that were held were very poorly attended, and it is questionable whether much of the material printed by the party papers, pertaining to the bye -election, was read by the farmers during the cam- paign, owing to the above conditions. The Government endeavoured in every way possible to distract attention tom the extravagance and incompetence of their administration, and tried to make Bi-lingualism and Prohibition the issues. They raised a big cry, because the Liberals saw fit to contest the riding, and used loyalty as a bogey in such a way that it appeared as a big stick over the heads of the electors to compel them to vote Tory or to be branded as disloyal and pro -German. Mr. Hay appealed to the electors to elect him and thus strengthen the hands of the Opposition, which would tend ta a still greater cheek being kept upon the extravagance of the present Government. Undoubtly the succesful result of the North Perth election for the Liberal cause is largely due to the candidate's personal popularity. On the other hand, the tide of public opinion against Toryism, supplemented by the illogical claims of the Conservative campaign managers, is known to have contri- buted in a marked degree to the defeat of the Government candidate. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT (Toronto Star) In principal. our system of govern- ment rests upon popular representation. In practice, this leaf seems to have been almost turned upside down. The principal is that the Legislature repre- sents the people and that the Govern- ment is a committee of the Legislature, entrusted by it with departmental business, but always bound to give an account of its stewardship. In practice, however, we have drifted into a system in which the Government is all-important, and the Legislature and the people are regarded as of minor importance. The question that is asked is not what the opinion of a certain constituency is, and by whom shall it be represented, but whether the constituency shall or shall not support the Government of the day. It is assumed that the Legislature or Parliament has no function except that of supporting or opposing the Govern- ment. Carrying this idea to the logical conclusion, there is no reason why a constituency should not vote by proxy, sending its papers to Hearst or to Rowell as the case might be. There would be no need for any Legislature, for any discussion or debate. The country would simply vote every four years in the Provinces, and every five years in the Dominion, for an oligarchy armed with absolute power. Unless we are prepared to submit to this, it is absurd to complain because a Government is not allowed to nomi nate its candidate in a vacant constitu- ency, and to have him returned without opposition. It is for the constituency to say by whom it shall be represented, whether by a Liberal, or by a Conserv- ative, or by one who belongs to neither party, No action by any party caueus, no agreement between parties, can deprive a constituency of that right. The constituency has a right to choose a man. not simply to vote yes or no on a division list. The sooner we get back to that true idea of responsible govern- ment, the better it will be for the country, SALE COMMENCES AT 1 P. M.

REVENUE AND PUBLIC DEBT. INFANTILE PARALYSIS The Dominion's revenue is showing substantial gains over last year, but still the public debt keeps bounding up at the rate of from fifteen to twenty millions per month. Larger imports,. higher Customs revenue, and war tax- ation have increased the revenue for the first quarter of the fiscal year $14., 580,000, as compared with the corres- ponding theee tnonths of 1915-10. But war And other expenditures have boosted the national debt by $148,623,- 000 from the figure at which it stood on" June 30th of last year. Last month the increase in the national debt was $16,. 013,000. The total now stands within six millions of six hundred million dollars. Of the Dominion's funded indebted- ness, $75.000,000 is payable in New York, $97,368,000 in Canada, and $362,- 703,000 in Landon. Temporary loans total $194,073,000. Revenue for June totalled $17,600,- 000, an increase of $6,200,000 over June of last year. Customs revenue jumped by a little more than four millions, or nearly sixty per cent. For the three months of the fiscal year revenue has totalled $50,773,000. Customs revenue increased by a little more than $13,000,000, and Post office revenue by nearly one million. Expenditures on domestic account, apart from war, show a decrease 'of about three millions. AN OPEN LETTER. This is the "Golden Age" for girls. We can train your daughter in six months and then place her in a bank, wholesale, or other office position, Would it not be a good thing for your daughter to be fitted to earn a gaod salary, thereby becoming independent for life, if so, get particulars of what the Wingham Business College and her nine sister colleges have done for "Tens of Thousands" of girls. A short time ago the writer was told the following by a lady teacher in a public school in a neighboring township. I attended High School for four years and Normal School one year. My sister attended Wingham Business College for six months. She has a good position in Duluth and is getting more than twice the salary which I am receiving here. She takes a street et.r to her work, while I walk thelhisty roads in summer and through snow in winter, almost a mile to an rom my boarding house. I shall ainly re- commend all young peop with whom I come in contact t co er well before making a choice cupation." To those who a anxious to inquire into the advantages of the stenograph and commercial courses for girls, we will gladly furnish the addresses of an unlimited number of former graduates, many of whom are receiving over $1500 per year. We will furnish each one with names of our graduates from their immediate vicinity. This year we have placed every student who wished to take a position, immediately upon graduation. Owing to the heavy enlistment among the young men of towns and cities, there never was a time when there was such a demand for young women who have a business education. This year from our chain of colleges, we have placed one hundred girls in banks. What about your daughter? Is she worthy of a business education? Would it be a comfortable thought for you to know that no matter what happens in after life your daughter is able to earn a comfortable salary. Now when po- sitions are so plentiful is the time to begin, If you commence a Home Study Course now and enter the Wingham Business College in the fall, you will be ready to take a position by the New Year. Positions are absolutely guaranteed. The unsuccessful keep "putting off" the successful "begin now". Which will you be? Drop us a postal for particulars if interested.

The following instructions regarding Infantile Paralyeib are issued by the Provincial Board of Health: Infantile Paralysis, also called Auterior Poliomyelitis, is a com- municable disease chiefly of children between the age of two ,and fouk•teen years. Older children and adults may also be affected by the disease, The cause is unknown, It is known. however, that the agent causing the disease is present in the secretions of the nose and mouth and in the intestinal tract from being swallowed, The disease is epidemic in some United States cities and in at least ono town in Ontario. It is believed that Infantile Paralysis is spread from one child to another by means of the secretions of the nose and mouth by direct transfer. It is possible also that it is spread by flies which have been in contact with in- testinal discharges. It may become widespread in country as well as in crowded city districts, and persons who have been in contact with eases of the disease may harbour the contagion and give it to others without contracting the disease themselves; that is they are "carriers." What To Do About It? 1. Every CASE must be quaran- tined for a period of SIX weeks. 2, All children who have been in contact with a case must be quarantined and kept under observation for a period of TWO weeks. 3. Adult members of the family who are wage earners may be allowed to go about their work subject to the regulations of the Provincial Board and on the discretion of the Medical Officer of Health, 4, Where there is an outbreak, gatherings of children, such as picnics, picture shows, and playgrounds, should be prohibited, 5, The source of origin of each ease should be carefully enquired into in order that proper quarantine may he maintained, 6 In houses where cases appear all doors and windows should be screened, the premises kept Clean, and DO accum- ulation of garbage or waste permitted, 7, All cases should be at once notified to the Medical Officer of Health, and by him to the• Chief Officer of the Provincial Board. 8 Mild cases, showing slight head- ache, rise of temperature and vomiting, persisting for a few days, with slight muscular weakness and absence of paralysis, should be quarantined. These are probably one of the chief sources of contagion. 9, As Infantile Paralysis is a moat serious disease and in the present epidemic giving a high death -rate, the public is urged to second the efforts of the authorities in every way in order to prevent a severe outbreak in the Province, 10. All materials such as cloths, etc., carrying secretions and diseases from patients should be burned. boiled, or disinfected. If the disease shows any tendency to spread, special quarantine measures may be necessary. JOHN W. MCCULLOUGII, Chief Officer of Health for Ontario.
