usurping the places of the Senators on
the floor of the House and filling the
galleries to overflowing, was set with
all the glamor and spectacular display
of previous yea.
Two years ago Premier Borden rode
into office on a "triumphant chariot of
nationalism," rather insecurely eup-
ported on belief in Canada's econoinie
self -sufficiently and presumed American
intentions to annex the Dominion.
Recently Premier Borden took a vacation
rest at Hot Speings, Virg,inia. While
in Washington he veiled on President
Wilson and Seel ere ry Bryare The pub-
lic has not been informed just what the
Canadian statesman said upon this
occaesion, but it is whispered that he
sounded the State Department as to
certain teriff concessions. It looks as
though Mr, Borden and his party were
becoming embarrassed by having proved
too much in the matt r of "reciproc-
ity."—Kingston Whig.

HE TROTH CONCERNING THE
CHALLENGE (?) OF THE TEM-
PERANCE PARTY.
There have been so many garbled re-
ports about the challenge that the
Temperanee Party have hurled at the
unoffending Huron County Business
Men's Assoeiation, that we think a
plain statement of what has actually
occurred will serve to disabuse many
minds of erroneous impressions.
On the 30th of last October, we pub-
lished in the press throughout the
County that, thinking a public debate
would be the best and quickest means
of giving the voter information, we
challenged those who favoured the
Scott Act to debate the following resol-
ution: -
Resolved, that prohibition is funda-
mentally wrong in principle, un-chris-
tian in character, and powerless as a
remedy for drunkenness.
We added, that we would name a
man as our champion, and meet any
man having the indorsement of the
Dominion Alliance, each side to pay
one half the expenses of holding the
debate, reporting and printing the
speeches of the debaters, and mailing a
copy to each and every voter 'n the
County.
From that day to this, no attention
has been paid to our challenge. In
spite of the fairness of the offer, it has
never been accepted. It is true Rev.
S. J. Min, having misread our chal-
lenge, or nerer having read it at all
and taking as correct, without due en-
quiry, some wild rumour that reached
his ears, wrote to the press and stated
that I. personally, aving thrown, out a
challenge to meet anybody to tlebate
this question, he would himself meet
me. I replied in the pressepointing
out to the reverend genaman his
mistake.
,e
Since then, there has ball an omi-
nous silence, unrelieved unfit the I5th

The writer ofr`this article could not
believe his eyes. He called up Mr. A.
1. Cooper (Clinton's "chief authority
oneall temperance questions" and asked
him if the paragraph were authenia.
He replied that it was. This morning,
17th, Mr. Coaper volunteered the be -
formation that the date of this momen-
tous meeting was settled for the 22nd—
so practically, after having had our
challenge before them for over two
months and a half, they finally, four
days before their meeting, become pos-
sessed of sufficient courage to make
the proposal they did.
The Huron County Business Men's As-
sociation's executive are not as foolish
as some people may think. The whole
thing is nothing but a trick. The Tem -

ing the first nine months, April to De-

other countries. During the corres-
ponding nine months of the last fiscal
year the total number was 334,083,
composed of 127,875 British, 113,708
, American, and 92,410 from all other
countries. The increase is five per
cent. During the calendar year 1913
the total immigration to Canada was
418,870, made up of 150,984 British, 115,-
701 American, and 140,135 from all
other countries. During the calendar
year 1912 the total number was 305,804,
composed of 145.559 British, 144.143
American, and 1(19,802 from all other

There passed away in Crystal City,
Man., on Monday evening, Jan. 5th,
after a lingering illness lasting about
fifteen months, one who was well
known in this eountry, especially in
Turnberry and the neighborhood of Sea -
forth, in the person of William Gerrond
Duff, in his younger days in this dist-
rict he was the life of any gathering
with his merry songs and funny stories.
Born in Liverpool, England, on Aug.
30th, 1846, the eldest son of Robert J.
and Isabella Gerrond Duff, he came
with his parents across the ocean in his
infancy. After living for a short time
in Tuckersmith the family moved to
the township of Bullet an the McKillop
Boundary where it is crossed by the
Maitland river, and five years later in
1VIarch, 1856, they settled on lot 9, con.
6, Turnberry, where W. G., who was
then ten years of age, did his share in
chopping and helping to clear the farm.
The subject of this sketch when about
twenty-three years of age was badly
njured by a fall and incapacitated for
heavy work so he started to school and
persevered until he obtaiaed a second
class certificate. For some years there-
after he was engaged in school -teaching
at Bluevale and in the Roxboro' 'Lhool,
McKillop, subsequently being in charge
of the C.P.R. Telegraph and Express
(Alice in Seaforth. Twenty years ago
he left for Crystal City, Manitoba,
where he resumed school -teaching but
later opened a real estate, insurance
and conveyancing office and acted as
auctioneer. He was a Mason and also
a member of the Order of United
Workmen. In 1875 he was married to
Miss Sarah Ross, of Bluevale, who sur-
vives him. Of them four children, one
son Asher died in Seaforth itt childhood
and Alhery died at Crystal City a few
years ago in early manhood, which was
a sad blow to his family. The daughters
are Ida (Mrs. Jos. Shawl, of Reg na,
and Margaret, who resides at home,
and Robt. N. Duff, of Blue vale, is an
only brother.
The annual organization meeting of
perance Party have proved their 'n-
and food, that they are having a very
ability, their fear, or their undesire, or
bad time because Providence is not on a mixture of the whole three, to accept
Borden's side. Canada is learning that our challenge of Oct. 30th. They m -
it is unwise to fly in the face of Provi- not in any -air mind successfully wig-
gle out of their position, by seeking in
this c ildishry weak manner to appear
as though they were the original
challengers.
Let them go on, and have their naeet-
ing. Let those who will, gather, to
listen to this "Ontario's chief author-
ity" a title we may fairly presume he
dence.

How soon will you stop filling the ruts and

Concrete Roads
cost no more to build than any other good road, and their
upkeep expense is practically nothing, which makes them
the cheapest kind of good roads.
Concrete roads benefit the farmer, consumers merchant,
newspaper, board of trade and railroad. They make for
greater prosperity generally, by increasing land values and
production; bringing more trad ,c. more industries; more
employment; greater traffic. They decrease the cost of
