EDITORIAL NOTES
In one of the most peculiar, topsy-
turvy by-elections which Ontario has
experienced, the Liberal candidate,
Liberal on bis record and the nominee
of a Liberal convention, though not in-
dorsed by the central executive, Mr. H
H. Dewart, K. C,, was returned to the
Legislature to -night as representative
of Southwest Toronto, on Monday, by
a majority of 643 over James Norris,
Cdnservative candidate, the vote for
he other two candidates being neglig.
ible. This is the first time in 27 years
that a Toronto constituency has elected
a Liberal candidate to the Legislature.
In 1889 the late Joseph Tait was elected
under the minority representation plan.
MR, ROWELL'S MOVEMENTS
Mr• Rowell's return from Europe
gives promise of a revivifying of intrest
in the outstanding issue which confronts
each component part of our Empire
during the stupendous trouble in which
we are engaged—the winning of the
war.
The Liberal leader's unmatched
qualities in quickly and decisively seiz-
ing on the essentials of an intricate sit-
uation and applying the principles of
such methods as have been elsewhere
employed, to meet the peculiar condi-
tions existing in his own country and
province, are now being devoted to the
service of his country in the same un-
stinted manner as he used his elo-
quence and mastery of fact in the
matter of recruiting, up to the moment
of his leaving for the Old Country.
Mr. Rowell reached London on July
10, and drove straight to the House of
Commons where he was given a seat
in the distinguished strangers' gallery,
Mr. Asquith was in the course of a
delivery on the home rule question; and
the Ontario Liberal leader was much',
impressed by what he was privileged,
to hear on this occasion.
The object of Mr. Rowell's visit, as
given to the Canadian Press Service,
is to study the general situation as be-
tween military, industrial and agricul-
tural demands, with a view to assisting
in the work of the Ontario committee
for the organization of the resources
of the province. Mr. Rowell also ex-
pressed his intention of looking after
the interests of the Canadian soldiers
n the hospitals and training camps in
England, and, if possible, in France;
and to gather information on recruit -
ng, labor and the organization of in-
dustries, which may be of value to
Canadians in connection with war or-
ganization here.
On July 22 Mr. Rowell was reported
n Paris, and on July 26 a cable dis-
patch conveyed the news that he was
back in Paris after four days spent at
he Canadian front. Whilst in Paris
e attended the French Senate; and,
oder the authorization of General Zu-
ail, (the military governor), Mr. Row -
11 inspected the aerial defences of the
ity, and visited the munition factor -
es and workshops, where he said
women are mostly employed, The Can-
dian statesman also had an interview
ith the minister of labor and learned
ueh from him about social and in-
ustria) conditions in France, and the
inister's plans for the future. Mr.
owell also interviewed M. Robot, the
rench minister of finance, and Louis
artin, the director general of in-
irect taxation, regarding legislation
gainst alcohol and further proposed re-
orms.
On his return to London Mr. Rowell
nformed the Canadian Associated Press
orrespondent that he was profoundly
mpressed by his visit to Franee and
lenders. Regarding his visit to the
tenches he said, "I have always had
he greatest respect and admiration for
tar soldiers, but these feelings were
ever so great as after spending four
aye going in and about among them
nd seeing the conditions under which
ey are fighting, I found them ail in
xceileet spirits, ready for any task
at may be committed to them,"

It has been said that every third

Science has shown that nasal catarrh

great admiration for the Canadian
troops.
Mr. Rowell states that the organisa-
tion of the transport and feeding and
arming of Britain's immense forces and I
the hospital service provided are a
marvel of efficiency,
On August 8 Mr, Rowell addressed
the summer meeting of the Workers'
Educational Association at Oxford on
"Canada, the War and Immigration."
Having been accorded a courteous
reception by both British and French
ministers, and being imbued with the
patriotic desire to utilize his privileged
position in gathering data of benefit to
Cansda, Mr. Rowell's return in Sept-
tember is looked forward to with mach
eagerness. Parents with boys wound-
ed in hospitals have received cheering
messages from the Liberal leader, who
has paid special visits in order to re-
lieve the anxiety of those at home.
THE MOST DISMAL SWAMP
_ _ -
To the Editor:—
The following extracts are from an
editorial in the New York American.
"There are on the earth many dread•,
ful swamps and deserts where he who
ventures upon them must die if he does
not turn back in time. There are in
the ocean great whirlpools that draw
the small boats to destruction.
But of all the earth's swamps, des.
erts and death places, none can compare
in horror and misery with the whiskey
swamp, that darkest morass of sorrow,
hopelessness and despair. Into that
swamp millions have wandered and in
it millions have died.
The dreadful feature of the swamp
is this: those who wander in it, sinking
deeper, are watched by others who
sympathize with them and are power-
less to cs.ve them. There is no other
shore to the whiskey swamp. The
middle of that swamp is failure and
disgrace and the other side is death.
It takes courage and will to turn back,
And courage and will are the parts that
whiskey attacks first and destroys.
"This will not Burt you," says whiskey,
and lights the light of hope a little
farther on in the swamp and the victim
flounders on farther and deeper."
"You're a man of strong will," says
Whiskey, "and can control yourself
and stop when you please." "I know
I can", says the whiskey drinker, and
drinks again and the mud of the swamp
rises a little higher upon him.
What the individual cannot do for
himself, the government of the nation
can do for all. No millions of dollars
would be required, no patient work
of years, simply the expression of the
national conscience in a national way
forbidding the sale of alcoholic poisons
that cause drunkeness and death.
To put an end to the sale of alcoholic
poisons will mean that hundreds of
thousands will be freed from bitter
slavery. Millions of children and their
mothers will be made happier. Wasted
lives will be made productive. The
number of prison cells inhabited will
be reduced by half and crime and its
stench and horror will be cut in two.
Wholesale poisoning for profits under
Government license with Government
tax will not disgrace the country for-
ever. The swamp will disappear from
our civilization and the unhappy
millions that dwell in it are set free."

Sunday, Aug. 18th, Thomas Garniss,
an old and well-known resident of the
3rd line, died at the home of Fred and
Mrs. Brewer, Con. 4, at the advanced
age of 84 years and 9 months. A short
time ago Mr. Garniss fell and broke
one of his hips and at his years the
accident no doubt hastened his de-
mise. It is over 60 years since de-
ceased carne to Morris. He was never
married. Four brothers, Robt. in
Morris; John in Algoma; Wm. in
Bluevale; and George in the United
States, and two sisters survive. Mr.
Garniss was born in Lincolnshire, Eng-
land and was reported to be well-to-
do. Mrs, Brewer, where he died, is a
niece.
It was with sadness that the pub-
lic generally learned on Wednesday
morning. Aug. 16th, of the death of
Mr. James Gibson, of the 9th concession
of Morris. On Sunday night he was
stricken with paralysis which left him
in a precarious condition but even the
immediate family did not realize that
the end was so near.
Few men were better known or
more highly esteemed than the late
Mr. Gibson, his genial manner and
kindly disposition endeared him to
his immediate family and claimed
the respect of all who had the pleas-
ure of his acquaintance. The late Mr.
Gibson was born in the Township of
Kitly. Leeds Co., in the year 1844 and
came to Morris to the home of his
cousin, Mr. John Mooney, of the 5th
Concession, when nineteen years of
age. Here he resided until 1871 when
he took up lot 6, con. 9, Morris which
was then in its primeval state and in
the same year was married to Miss
Peoebe Ann McCracken, of the 4th
} concession of the same township, To
this union was born a family of eight
girls and two boys, namely:—Miss Ella
and Mrs. J, E. Taman, Blyth; Mrs.
McCall, Morris; Mrs. Atkinson, Hagers-
ville; Mrs. Cole, Frobisher, Saskat-
chewan; Hiss Ruby, milliner, Edmon-
ton, Alberta; Miss Gertie, milliner,
Thamesford; William, of the 9th of
Morris, and Miss Sarah and James at
home.
Deceased was stn enthusiastic mem-
ber of the Orange Order, having been
connected with that association since
he was thirteen years of age, and at
the time of his demise was the oldest
member of Blyth Lodge. He had filled
all the offices in the primary lodge and
has for some years been Master of
Ceremonies.
Besides his wife and family, de-
ceased leaves to mourn his loss, three
brothers and one sister. They are:—
William Gibson, in the West; Samuel,
in Winnipeg; Thomas, in Smith Falls
and Mrs. Gardiner, of 1 ilty Tp,, Leeds
County, all of whom have the sympathy
of the community at large in their
bereavement.

Clean-up of

During the next few days we will sort
over our Summer Goods and put a
price on them that will clean up all
odd lines and ends for the season.
Muslins, GinAhams, Voiles,
Mulls, Gropes, etc.
will be sold with one object in view
only, namely, to clean up every yard
for the season. This will be a chance
to fill your late summer needs at less
than old prices.
D. & 4. Corsets
Why buy the cheapest Corsets you
can get? Why not get hold of some-
thing genuinely good in quality and
satisfaction and stick to it. Economy
in Corsets doesn't mean paying out
the least money. It means getting
the most in style, comfort and wear
for the money you do pay out. We
have customers who insist on D. & A.
Corsets at $2.50 and $3.00 in prefer-
ence to less expensive lines. They
last longer as a. matter of course and
are correspondingly finer in work-
manship and finish. Try the plan of
paying a little more and getting a
little better. Corsets are like shoes.
The best are the cheapest in the end.
