Sept. 12, 13 20, 21 THURSDAY, JULY 27. 1916 SIGNS OF INCREASING IMPOTENCE appoint the said day to be observed Our o O a io i throughout 4 r $ rat r n the manner aforesaid. And we do hereby urge the ceiling of public meetings throughqut the Province on the date mentioned for the purpose of stimulating the devotion and patriotism of our people and of embody- ing those sentiments in appropriate resolutions and thereby uniting them effectually for the supreme effort which is necessary to bring to a victorious issue the struggle for the maintenance of those ideals of liberty and justice which are the common and sacred cause of the Allies " The Ontario Government for some time past, uotably during the last session of the Legislature, has been manifesting signs of increasing im- potence; and the result of the bye - election in North (girth shows that the people of the Province are turning to Mr, Rowell's wise and constructive leadership and foresight in public affairs as a sheet -anchor in the difficult times which are brewing, The Liberal Party, both in Dominion and Provincial politics, is taking the lead in preparing to meet the after - damp of the explosion in Europe; whilst the Tory Governments at Ottawa and Toronto seem content to let the future take care of itself. The meeting of the National Liberal .Advisory Committee during the past week in Ottawa has demonstrated the progressiveness. of the Dominion Liberal Party in the far- reaching resolutions which were adopted covering social and other pro- blems which will have to be dealt with after the war, Mr. Rowell, in England. studying conditions there, and gathering data as to how the much greater pro- blems of the mother country are being grappled with, is putting the members of the Ontario Government to shame, as he has already done other and more re- sponsible public men in the matter of recruiting. In the House last session Mr. Rowell's resolution regarding the organization of the resources of the Province for the successful prosecution of the war, coming as it did immediately upon his conscientious support of The Ontario Temperance Act, clearly demonstrated the potentiality of his leadership; whilst bis recently announced constructive policy for future Canadian Liberalism is backed by a moat practical declaration of the means to attain the end. Not a little satisfaction has been gleaned by the Liberal members in the Ontario House from the fact that although the Government has, from time to time, voted down every con- structive effart on theirpart, it has •in many instances been compelled by the force of public opinion to ultimately adopt the Opposition's proposals. Amongst other things, the Govern- ment has repeatedly rejected Liberal proposals for the elimination of the patronage system in the Civil Service and the promotion of the Agricultural interests of the Province. During the last session of the Ontario House, Mr. Carter (Liberal member for S. Welling- ton) strenuously championed the cause of a Civil Service Commission; and the Government was attacked so strongly by a combination of Liberal members in close touch with agricultural Ontario, on its failure to even attempt to introduce a measure of value to Agri- culture, without obtaining any response on the part of the Government that rural voters throughout the Province, without any regard to political affiliations, are turning away in listless, inert, don't -know -what -to-do attitude of the present Administration. North Perth is a case In point. SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF WAR. The second anniversary of the declaration of war is nearing, August 4th, being the date. The Ontario Government has issued a proclamation calling upon the citizens to observe that day in affirming their belief in the righteousness of the cause and their determination to use every effort to bring the struggle to a victorious con- clusion. The officials of every municipality are asked to take the matter up and organize suitable demonstrations. As to the purpose of the anniversary ob- servance, the proclamation says:— "We, therefore, believing it to be right and proper that our people should on that date reaffirm their belief in the righteousness of the cause for which we are fighting, and their inflexible determination to continue the struggle until victory has been achieved, have thought fit by and with the advice of Our Executive Council for the Province of Ontario to appoint, and do hereby HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?

Mr. and Mrs. R. H, Cutt, Goderich, announce the engagement of their daughter, Jean Muir, to Thos. E. Ross, of Goderieb, the marriage to take place early in August, Mr. John H. Scott, of Exeter, who recently disposed of his' creamery in that town received a government ap- pointment as official butter grader with headquarters in Toronto. Mrs. James Long of Benmiller, re- ceived official notification on Friday that her son, Pte. Elmer Long, had been wounded in the shoulder. This is the second time he has been wounded, The largest black bass that was ever caught around Goderieb was landed last week by Wm. Patten, G. T. R. engineer. It weighed six pounds five ounces and measured 271 inches long. Mr. Patten caught the fish with a trawl. Edwin Jervis, Principal of the Wey- burn, Sask., public school, died at his father's residence in Clinton on Friday in his forty-fourth year.

Driver's buggy and Charles Pentold's automo- bile on the main street, Goderich, Mr. Driver and his daughter were injured. Mr. Driver was driving across the street when the collision occurred, and be and his daughter were thrown out. VOICES OF THE PEOPLE' Wingham, July 22, 1916. To the Editor of the Times Dear Sir:—A great deal has been said and written concerning the neglect of the cemetery and the misspending of the money received from that source. It does not refer to this year more than many years in the past. I am confident the plot owners, who are at all interest- ed, feel very keenly the injustice. It is certainly time for a change in the management. I sincerely wish more would express themselves on so im- portant a subject. Our deeds call for subjection to the town• management, but not the mismanagement. Surely our town does not require the money we pay (to give our departed friends a resting place) to keep it alive. If we conducted private business as the cemetery has been conducted, I think we would be where we Could do rr, business. ,In a Council report some time agt the Property Committee had visited the grounds and considered it required the expenditure of three hundred dollars. In the report of the cemetery receipts the money was received to do the work. What has been done and the summer is far advanced. 1 noticed in the expendi- ture report the cemetery expense was combined with other expenses, as a blind I suppose. Much more attention is given to a light 0n the street corner. We can have walks, dams and everything else, but our cemetery must be looke,d after by one man as he aees fit to do it. Our caretaker was requested to re- port his receipts every week. A great scheme, sure. There watt Once a than named Ananias and he hat Many de- uendants in this age. The charges for work in our .cemetery ate much in ad- vance of the charges in other cemeteries. Ss the work superior? I say decidedly no. There should certainly be a change in the management. We have found the present conditions a marked failure. Thanking 'you for the space in your paper. ONE INTE13teSTEb TN JUSTICE, His hands were badly cut and bruised, and Miss Driver suffered a serious cut on her head. The Bishop of Huron, assisted bI four visiting clergy, consecrated Christ Church, Teeswater, to religious pur- poses,' It appears to be the custom of the English Church not to consecrate until the church is free of debt. Hence the little congregation is to be con- gratulated on their untiring and successful efforts, The Bishop dwelt particularly in bis remarks on the differences between the Anglican Church and all others, At the Clinton cemetery on Wednes- day of last week James Young was buried. Mr. Young was born in God- erich Township, and for a number of years conducted the business of shoe- making in Clinton and afterwards at Lucknow. Some twelve years ago, when there was a scarcity of ministers in London Conference he left his busi- ness and took up the work of the min- istry and was quite successful, and during the last year he has been living in Dungannon. Many of our readers will be sorry to hear of the demise of Mrs. Wm, Sproat, which took place at Virden, Manitoba, en July lith, on her 87th birthday. Mrs, Sproat came to Canada from Kircud- bright, Scotland, in 1848 and with her husband faced alt the hardships of pioneer lite in the wilderness. Mr. and Mrs. Sproat lived for a number of years on their farm in Tuckersmith, and on retiring moved to Seaforth, where Mr. Sproat died some 24 years ago. Mrs. Sproat went to the west 17 years ago. Wednesday afternoon of last week Catharine Gilchrist, aged 90 years, passed away at her late home on Ratten- bury Street, Clinton. She was born in Argyleshire, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1841. For 52 years she was a resident of Clinton. Her husband predeceased her fifteen years ago, and the surviving members of the family are C. T. Gilchrist, of Ayr; Mrs. R. D. Ramsay, London; Mrs, 11. Lodan and Miss Jennie Gilchrist, Saginaw, Mich.; Mrs. Schantz, Eureka, Cal.; Mrs. Agnes Sendhas, Plattsville, and Mrs. Neil and Miss Minnie Gilchrist, Clinton. Eastern and western Liberals con, demned the Government for its "spine- less" management of the country's affairs.
