EDITORIAL NOTES
Information that may be lacking at
the present time regarding the war
stamp, will be supplied when the election
campaign opens. Hon. Geo, P. Gra-
ham has pointed out that it is a special
tax under the guise of a war tax.
If the Dominion Government go to
the people this summer it will be be-
cause the Conservative leaders think
they can turn the war to their political
advantage. They purpose to capitalize,
for their glory and profit, the terror,
the bloodshed, the suffering of this
Satanic war. They put themselves on
the same moral plane as the scoundrels
who have found in the equipping of
our soldiers an opportunity for looting
money from the public treasury. If
they thus group themselves with graft-
ers they will suffer the same public
condemnation If the Borden Govern-
ment goes to the people, the mere fact
of thus going will be sufficient reason
for its defeat.—Winnipeg Free Press.
Law is good as far as it :roes. But
the evil of political corruption will only
be cured when the moral standard of
the individual is raised, and he has been
educated to a proper conception of the
franchise; when he thinks less of his
right to the franchise, and realizes
that it is a duty imposed on him by
the state for the benefit of the state,
that his vote is to be cast, not for his
own personal benefit, but to give the
state the benefit of the best men and
the best measures. It may be freely
admitted that this is a condition of
things to be looked for in the distant
future, not for our generation. In the
meantime, let the law be made as
st_ingent and effective as possible.—
London Advertiser.
Two charges, involving corrupt ad-
ministration, were made in the House
of Commons against Hon. Frank Oliver,
Iate minister of interior, by Hon. Dr.
Roche, tire present minister of interior.
Speaking on the charges, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier said in poet:—"If there has
been such wrong in the conduct on re-
cord of the Government over which I
was entrusted to preside. I do not know
it. I urge, however, that the Govern-
ment enter upon its task with all the
power it possesses; that it make diligent
search over all the years; that it prose-
cute any and all cases of wrong doing
it may discover; that it compel resti-
tution to the public treasury, if it is
found th ;t anything has 1 e.•n wr.+ng-
fully taken; that it eine: with all
offenders as they may deserve. and
that it proceed with its task in the
sr:irit t; tri -. ,... ti_, ane fen. relay."'

MR. FERGUSON'S PAMPHLET.
(Toronto Star.)
►A 60011 MEDIGINE FOR THE
SPRING.
Charges such us are made against
Mr. Oliver should be treated seriously
by both parties and by the country.
They shou'.d be investigated by a
Parliamentary Committee, as the war
graft charges have been investigated.
At these Parliamentary investigations,
open to the public, both sides are
represented. But as to these Western
charges, there is nothing before the
public but campaign pamphlets written
by a Winnipeg lawyer. a worker and
stumper for the present Government,
who was told to find out something
which would serve as campaign materi-
al for the Government. His statements
may be true or false. His name adds
nothing to their weight. They might
as well have been written by Mr.
Rogers himself. He seems to have
been conducting some sort of enquiry,
but we know nothing of any safeguards
for accuracy or fairness. The enquiry
was neither judicial nor Parliamentary.
if Mr. Ferguson has any charges to
make, he should appear before a
Parliamentary Committee at Ottawa,
either as prosecutor or witness, and
allow Parliament and the people to al-
low Parliament and the people to judge
whether the charges are well founded.
Otherwise he cannot expect any atten-
tion to he paid to his accusations. The
writer of a campaign phamphlet does
not acquire authority merely because
another partizan describes him as "a
commissioner " If a Liberal lawyer
had conducted an engity of his own into
the war -graft, instead of bringing the
matter before the Public Accounts
Committee, he could hardly expect
much attention to be paid to his "re-
port" and his "findings." The war -
graft evidence was brought out in a
fair, regular way.
The Oliver charges and other Western
charges should be dealt with in the
same way. They ought not to be mere-
ly subjects for partizan wrangling.

LICENSE BOARD APPOINTED.
Prem. Hearst announced the names of
those who will form the Provincial Board
of License Commissioners, to take over
the administration of the license liquor
laws. They are: J. D. Flavelle, of
Lindsay, chairman; W. S. Dingman, of
Stratford, vice-chairman; Frederick
Dane, Toronto; George T. Smith, of
Haileybury, and John A. Ayearst, of
Toronto. The appointments take effect
on May 5, and a proclamation has been
issued bringing the new Act into effect
at once. This means that all the local
boards in the province will, after issuing
the license for the ensuing the license
year, pass out of existence and the ad-
ministration of the license system will
be taken over by the Provincial Board.
The salaries of the members of the
board will be as follows: Chairman,
$6,500; Vice -Chairman, $6,000, and the
other members $4,000 each.
The powers of the board are wide.
It may: Prohibit the sale of liquor in
any locality upon any specified day
where special circumstanceg make it
desirable.
Prohibit the sale of liquor to any
particular class of persons in the hotels
in any particulars locality or on any
specified day where the board considers
such prohibition in the public interest.
Prohibit absolutely the sale of liquor
in any portion of the Province.
Fix the hours within which liquor
may be sold in taverns and shops
throughout the Province, but it cannot
extend the hours.
Jiay cancel or suspend any license for
any cause it may think expedient at
any time.
Certain other regulations require the
approval of the Lieutenant -Governor in
Council.
DO THEY PAY?
T he craze for calerders has grown
during the past few gears. so much so
.bat it would be well for the merchant
if lee would sit down and figure out
whether from a busires_e getting veiw•
-
point, the expense is warranted, or
whether it is just an expensive vanity
tc• connect his name t; ith a picture.
A:: advertising may i_e good advertis-
ing, a'ut, as the aim of the ordinary
merchant is to get the most business
for the least outlay in money, we have
gave doubts that the use of the calen-
dar is Riving him returns at all com-
mensurate with the cost. In many
cases calendars ate ::ought by those
a:;xioue to secure a pretty picture.
O :ce obtained the advertisement is cut
oil and the picture tacked up or given
tl,.' children as a plaything. Tho main
perpuse for which it was intended is
thus frustrated, though the merchant
knows nothing of it, and soothes him-
self imagining his advertisement on the
w..11 of every customer's home. Some
day :hey will wale up to a realization
of their cherished deluelen. Many a
ht. . ss man pays for calendars the
inlets of a fair amount of space in a
neeeepai,er for six months with the
en isile;e of change. No kind of adver-
tising twinge as good results as
neevspoi,er advertising. Why not do
iv.ore of it by cutting out the calendars
and other wasteful methods:
Do not Use Harsh Purgatives
a Tonic is Ali You Need.
Not exactly sick—but not feeling quite
well. That is the way most people feel
in the spring. Easily tired, appetite
fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feel-
ing of depression. Pimples or eruptions
may appear on the skin, or there may
be twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia.
Any of these indicate that the blood is
out of order—that the indoor life of
winter has left its mark upon you and
may easily develop into more serious
trouble.
Do not dose yourself with purgativ
as so many people do, in the hope at
you can put your blood right. P ga-
mes gallop through the systeand
weaken instead of giving s' ength.
Any doctor will tell you tha is true.
What you need in spring is .-tonic that
will make new blood and ..uild up the
nerves. Dr. Willi.. s' . nit Pills is the
only medicine that a, o this speedily,
safely and surely. 'very dose of this
medicine makes new blood which clears
the skin, strengthens the appetite and
makes tired, depressed men, women and
children bright, active and strong.
Mrs. S. E. Stephens, Ponoka, Alta.,
says: "I suffered severely from head-
aches, and was badly run down in
health. I had tried several remedies
with no benefit, until I was advised to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and these
have fully restored my health, and I
can recommend them with confidence to
all weak women."

THE LYCEUN.
The mastodonic New York Hippo-
drome is in Wingham and everyone has
the chance to say in after life that he
has seen the world's greatest theater
and the best show that was ever pro-
duced there. Wingham is indebted to
to the management of the Lyceum
Theater for introducing thrills such as
one did not think could be found in the
thrill catalogues and scenic effects that
vie with the best ever seen. Splendid
ti pictures reproduce
mo on pctin most
faithful detail an entire program in this
wonder playhouse.
It's all there in "America," a seven -
reel film reproduction of the Hippodrome
banner presentations.
The first thrill of enjoyment comes
with the sight of the first scene. This
depicts the shores of the new world as
they appeared to Columbus and his ad-
venturous crew. With perfect panto-
mime, the performers picture one of
the greatest events in history—the
landing of Columbus oneAmeriean soil.
This is followed immediately with a
pieture typifying the hurry and con-
fusion and the panorama of human
nature in New York's greatest railroad
station, the spectacle made its plunge
into the present,
There is a scene on a New England
farm that reeks with new -mown hay
and sings the joys of the rural life, and
then comes a shift to the levees at New
Orleans, with incidents typical of the
cotton belt, as hundreds of colored folk
were revealed in characteristic antics
while they loaded one of the big river
steamers.
Some big street scenes of New York
follow and then comes the first of the
Hippodrome's new thrilling effects—
a four story building ablaze and a dis-
play of the actual working of all the
paraphernalia of New York's fire de-
partment for fighting conflagrations
land saving life.
The Carnival of Sports is another
great novelty and great success. It re -
i presents the spirit of golf, baseball,
football, aviation, canoeing. yachting,
tennis, equestrianism and bicycling,
with scores of riders.
All kinds of high class circus acts are
scattered through the various scenes,
among whch the Equila brothers' ladder
act, the Phyllis equestrians and Dar-
ling's trained equines are the most
interesting.
":America" will be seen at the Lyceum
Theatre, on Thursday and Friday,
April 22nd and 33rd.
BEST GRAIN FOR QUEBEC AND
ONTARIO.
In Bulletin No Sl, of the Ontario
regular series issued by the Director of
the Dominion Fxperimental Farms and
entitled "Division of Cereals: Summary
of Results, 1914". Dr. Charles E.
Saunders, Dominion Cerealist, recom-
mends the following varieties of grain
for Quebec and Ontario;
Spring Wheat—Red Fife and White
Fife, good sorts hut late in ripening;
Fluron. Marquis and productive but not
equal to the others for bread.making.
Prelude, if the soil is rich and rainfall
sufficient, is recommended for extreme
northern distrietts. In Southern Ontario
Blue Stem gives good results.
Goose Wheat is useful in extra dry
localities. I{ubanka makes excellent
bread, but is not in favour with millers.
Oats ---[fanner and Ligowo are good,
hit where extreme earliness is desired
Deubeney and Eighty Day will best fill
the hill.
Barley Manchurian and Ontario
Agriculture College No. 21, are best
six -rowed varieties: Duckbill, Canadian
Thorpe and Chevalier (best strains)
two -rowed varieties. No varieties of
beardless or builess are recommended,
but Success is early ripening.
Peas—Arthur for earliness and pro -
duellist -mesa; Golden Vine, Chancellor
and White :tlarrowfat are good and
Prussian Blue, Wisconsin Blue tsnd Eng-
lish Grey are recommended for colour.

FRIGATE BIRDS IN I'L16HT,
Their Amazing Power and Perfect com-
mand of the Air.
The haunt of that remarkable crew•
ture, the frigate bird, Is the southern
oceans, where It wakes Its nest on
some lonely coast or remote Island. For
that purpose it selects the Crozets. As-
cension or f ergueleu, along with
booby gannets, "wide awake" terns,
the beautiful boatswain birds or the
queer kelp pigeon, It tears from the
trees as It flies a few sticks and fabri-
cates a rude platform on top of some
bule or tree, or even upon a ledge of
mak, and lays and broods over a sin.
le egg—au that it needs to produce in
a situation so safe and so fiercely pro-
tected.
The frigate bird is large, its slender
but powerful wings spreading at least
four feet from tip to tip, while the
body is no less than forty inches from
the book of the great beak to the tip
of the long forked tail. The color is
blackish, with purple and green gloss -
lugs; the feet are black. the bill bluish,
and the pouch, which Is peculiar to the
male and Is inflated in flight, is scarlet.
as also is a ring about the eye. The
pouch indicates the close relationship
of these birds to the pelicans, but their
habits are more like birds of prey, and
one good name for the race is man-of-
war hawks,
On the wing they show perfect com-
mand of the air. Their night is swift,
bold and full of grace. They are ap-
parently untiring, -keeping away from
land for weeks at a time, soaring to
enormous heights and descending with
amazing speed. They can ride out a
hurricane, scudding tow and, taking a
reef in their wings, so as to expose
only the largest quills to the gale.
They are able to support themselves
for long hours without apparent mo-
tion, and it is a beautiful sight to watch
one of them floating overhead against
the deep blue sky. the long forked tail
alternately opening and shutting like a
pair of scissors and the head swinging
slowly from side to side, as it search-
ing the horizon. Frigate birds feed on
surface swimming fish, squids, crabs
and young turtles.
TRAINED FOR THE GAME.
He Played His Part Well and Won
When His Chance Came.
Senator Harry Lane, who is also an
M. D., was once superintendent of the
Oregon State Insane asylum. One
day he was telling a group of his col-
leagues some of his experiences while
there. He said when he took the job
he ordered the walls around the Inst!
tution torn down, arguing that if any
real lunatics escaped they would be
detected and returned, but that if any
escaped who could not be detected
they did not belong there anyway.
"A patient came along one day," ha
said, "and began a .performance that
was new to all of us. The inmates of
the asylum were turned out on the big
lawn each morning for exercise. Well,
the man I was talking about immedi-
ately began to run on a dog trot from
one end of the building to the other.
The patients having specialties of their
own didn't notice him.
"Back and forth he went, not only,
on the first morning, but on every,
morning for months and months. He
wore a path along the side of the asy,.
lam. We couldn't help but admire
his perseverance. He certainly stuck
to his job. But one day Mr. Man, the
moment he was let out, wriggled away
from the crowd and started across the
fields. Guards followed in pursuit.
Trained for months, and that had been
his game all along, he rapidly made
monkeys of the guards. He'd Iet them
get almost within reaching distance
and then he would sprint. So he van
ished, - and we never heard of him
again."—St Louis Post -Dispatch.
Benjamin Bunk.
At one time in England a Benjamin
Bunk meant a deserter from the army.
Forty—probably fifty—years ago there
was a red nosed comedian, one Teddy
Mosedale, who, dressed up in a bur-
lesque uniform of the Tommy of the
day. set the patrons of the old Mogul
(now the New Middlesex and an opera
house) Into fits of laughter with the
refrain:
I'm Benjamin Bunk, I'm Benjamin Bunk,
And the battle did alarm me;
Pm Benjamin Bunk, who got in a funk.
So they kicked me out of the army!
