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

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.
