practically the whole editorial staff of
the War ery, the officel organ of the

were Rev. Mr, Perrier Rev. M, Raey,
Dr. Redmond and Rev. air. Cavan, of

the sympathies of the Church they re-
preseuted. The disaster has vividly re-
called that tragedy of two years ago,
the sinking of the Titanic in mid -ocean,
when some fifteen hundred persona went
to watery graves. Although not sci
appealing, it comes nearer to the people
of Ontario, ie as muds as many homes
In the different towns and titles have
been bereft. Eaeh apeaket paid tribute

work they are doing in the uplifting of
fallen humanity. The addresses were

Our Lacrosse Team Would Like to Know
Who runs the 0,A.L.A.? In other
words is it President Stephenson, See-
retary Doyle and the members of the
Executive, or are the St, Marys, Brant-
ford and London lacrosse clubs head
push of the said organization? It loolcs
very mueh as if the latter are "it."
For instance, the Wingham lacrosse
team was placed hi the district with
the above mentioned teams and date
was named for arranging the schedule.
These clubs pulled of a pretty fair
stunt by arranging among themselves
it schedule a day earlier than the. date
set and very "foxy -like" left Wingham
out entirely. Since that tillle Secre-
tary Doyle has been communicated with
severtil times and stated more than
once that he would force the other
teams to admit the Winghain team into
the district. At the same time the
above teams are proceeding with their
schedule games as they Arranged them
and imparently snapping their fingers
at the 0 A.L.A. offieiats. So it looks
very leueli as if Brantford, St. Marys
and London are the headpush instead
of the officials elected for that purpose.

HOW ROWELL HAS GROWN.
The Hamilton Times speakes thus 02
Mr. Rowell, the Liberal leader. These
who knew hint intimately before 1911
were certain that he would make good,
as The Times says he has:
"We doubt if there le any other states-
man in Canada who has come to the
front so rapidly as has Mr. N.
Roweie IC. 0, the leader of the Ontario
Opposition. When Mr. Rowell first
entered the House, Sir James Whitney
treated hint with supercilious indiffer-
ence, bordering upon impertinence. He
apparently looked upon the new Liberal
leader as a lightweight, as a greenhorn
not worth bothering with. But not
many weeks elapsed before Sir James
awakened to the fact that he had no
ordinary man to deal with. Then he
began to bully him aud bludgeon him.
But the new . and untried man soon
proved that he was -more than'a match
for Sir James. His bludgeon blows
were met and parried with a rapieselike
skill that resulted in the Premier wildly
beating the air, while Mr. Rowell tick-
led him under the fifth rib and made him
howl and growl. So well informed, so
clever in. debate, and soresoureeful and
ready did Mr. Rowell prove to be that
now he is the most feared man in the
House. He has forged to the front.
He is the leading figure in the Legis-
lature, and will soon be the leading
figure in the Province."
STATEMENT OF INACCURACIES.
Mr. Musgrove's nomination speech,
as reported in the Conservative papers,
would be hard to beat as a statement of
inaccuracies.
Error No. 1 -"He did not say very
much about Mr. Kerr, because he was
a resident of the county."
Mr, Musgrove must surely think
people have short memories. The non-
resident argument in 1911, as at pres-
ent, was about his whole ease.
Error No. 2 "The intention was to
run Mr. Cameron, of Lueknow."
Perhaps Mr. Musgrove knows the
minds of North Huron Liberals and per-
haps he doesn't, but we can assure him
that there is no discension in their
ranks, and the fact that the opposite is
the ease among the Conservatives had
nothing to do with the choice of Mr.
Anderson. Mr. Cameron's businest in-
terests would not permit him to accept
the Liberal nomination, but be is work-
ing.hard to secure the election of Mr.
Anderson.
Error No. 3 —"Nothing was said at
the Liberal nomination about 'Abolish
the Bar.' "
This is it deliberate falsehood or Mr.
Musgrove'sspy was eld and hard of
hearing. Mr. Anderson was most em-
phatic in endorsing this plank in Mr.
Rowell's platform. Also, let his votes
in the Legislature speak for themselves.
Error No. 4 - "We have done more in
nine years to advance the interests of
temperance and moral reform than the
Liberals did in twenty years."
What has been accomplished recently
under Local Option and the Scot Act,
both Liberal measures, has been done
in spite of the Whitney Government.
The most important amendment made
to the Local Option Act was the addi-
tion of the notorious three -fifth clause,
by means of which . pearly four hun-
dred bars are still open in Ontario.
Which party are the big liquor interests
supporting to -day? .
But why continue? The whole speech
was a tissue of insinuations, misrepre-
sentations and guesses that went wide
of the mark, with perhaps oneexception,
No doubt there will be fifty Wingham
Conservatives who will support the
Rowell policy, but they will be temper-
ance men, who as a matter of con-
science, vote to Banish the I3ar, and
not the men whom Mr. Musgrove is
afraid he has antagonized by playing
both ends and the midile with regard
to the closing of the bars in North
Huron.
As Mr. Musgrova poses as a mind
reader, and is very ready to impute
motives to the Liberals, perhaps he will
inform us what brought about the
change of mind in Mr. Loelchart, and
also explain why his own remarks in
the Legislature, regardieg the famous
Snider incident, did not eorrespond more
elosely with his statements ori the
streets of Wingham immediately after
Snider's visit to our town.
At the London Conferenee of the
Methodist Chureh, held at Sarnia, it re-
quired five ballots to elect the twenty
lay delegates to the General Conference.
On the first ballot there was no choice.
Our townsman, Mr. F. Buehanan was
one of the delegates selected on the se-
cond ballot, which shows his popularity
I as a Conference representative.
Among the other delegatee eleeted were
W. H. Kerr, Brussels; IL E. Ilustom
