—James Coffroth recently made a
bet of $2,000, that he could make the
trip from London, England, to San
Francisco, California, in ten days.
Re Won, having made the trip suc-
•cessfully in nine days, dye hours, and
five minutes. The facilities for rapid
travel are great in the opening years
of the 20th century, But wait until
we ily across the ocean.
—The senior editor is once more at
his post in the Advance office. Ile is
pleased to note that the reputation and
efficiency of the paper were well main-
tained daring his absence. It has
been a very great pleasure to have
the friendly grasp of the hand, and
the sincere and. cordial "Welcome
Back" from scores of our fellow -citi-
zens, irrespective of political affilia-
tions. These evidences of friendship
' and good -will have been sincerely ap-
paeciated.

—Citizens of Wingham will do well
to push their proposition for a share
of Andrew Carnegie's millions, when
other towns are meeting with suc-
cess. Harriston, Brussels, Lucknow
and others we might mention have
good buildings ; Hanover is getting a
good grant, and Durham proposes to
erect a $20,000 building, towards
whieh Mr. Carnegie will contribute
$15,000. There are now 130 Carnegie
buildings in Ontario in use for library
purposes. Those who ask not, are not
likely to receive.

—Many will watch with interest
the success of the step taken by the
Ontario Government in removing
twenty prisoners regarded as "trusty"
from the Central prison, Toronto; to
the new Provincial Reformatory at
Guelph. There must be some good
left in a man, when he can be trusted,
and he should be aided in every effort
he makes towards a better life. Pri-
son life at its best is hard, and too
many are disposed to keep a man
down, instead of giving him a, helping
hand. Any step looking towards real-
ly reforming a prisoner and helping
him upward, will prove a good invest-
ment for the provinCe, a blessing to
the erring, and should be encour-
aged.

—There are 130 Liberal members' of
the House of Commons, but the Ot-
tawa Citizen reports ' that during an
evening session recently, only eleven
out of the 130 followed the proceed-
ings of the evening. The remaining
110 were probably enjoying them-
selves ' elsewhere. The Conservative
members were more attentive, but
there are occasions when both Grits
and Tories might be more diligent in
their duties. At the rate of $2,500 a
session, the pay means about $25 a
working day, and the average length
of a day has so far thie session been.
about seven hours. This is fairly
good pay, eta those who receive it
should, be faithful and attentive to
their duty. A man who does not
propose to spend his time honestly in
the interest of the country, that pays
him well, should not aspire to repre-
sent a Constituency in Parliament.
.Possibly some of absentees are men
who have faith that everything will
go on all right oven if they are absent.
Perhaps it is one of the evils of our
system that a few out of the many
hold the reins, and the rest are mere-
ly riders in the political band -
waggon.

--During the past few years there
has been a decided change for the
best, in the attitude of the Vetted
States press towards Canada, and the
leading newspapers now admit the
possibilities of this country. The
Chicago Tribtine said recently
"The anticipated glories of the
greater Canada are already taking defi-
nite shape in the minds of the people
and finding expression in the more
totierete form: of visible actunlities.
The 90,000 people from the United
States who crossed the northern line
in 1000, taking with them capital ag-
gregating $00,000,000, will be joined
by 200,000 more by the mid of 1010,
each of these inutigtante adding to
the Wealth of the Dominion and help-
ing toward its development. In feet,

TOWN COUNCIL.
Wingham Town Council met on
Friday evening in special meeting;
all the members present. •
The chief business before the Coma
ell was the consideration of Bylaw
No. 005-1010, authorizing the grant-
ing of a bonus of $1800 and lease for
21 years of two pieces of ground, viz.,
the Davidson lot and a noel' gore
near the power house, to 0, Lloyd &
Son; also the fixing of their assess-
ment at $2000 for a term of ten
years,
The mayor pointed out that the
leasing of the gore would necessitate
the closing of a street, and consider-
able discussion followed. The By-law
then received its second reading.
The 13y -law provides for a vote
being taken on Friday, May 20tb, as
'folio we :—
Ward 1—In johnst on's tailor shop;
J., G. Stewart, D.R.O. ; W, 3. Haines,
poll clerk.
Ward 2—Gannett's shop; A. Alder-
son, D.R,O. ; B. Jenkins, poll cletk.
Ward 3—Town Hall; J. Groves,
D.R.O. ; W. T. Hall, poll clerk.
Ward 4—Albert Bell's house; Thos.
Deans, D.R.O. ; J. Elder, poll clerk.
On motion of Couns, Elliott & Mc-
Kibbon, the By-law was ordered to be
published three times in the Wing -
ham Advance.
A motion by Reeve Irwin and
Coun. McDonald was in effect as fol-
lows:—That in the opinion *Of this
Council, all applicants for assistance
to industries in this town, sbould pay
all expense of submitting a By-law in
the case, should the By-law pass, and
the applicants fail to proceed with the
work within six months; and that the
Clerk cornmunicate with C. Lloyd. &
Son, on this point; the motion pre-
vailed.
Mr. Gnrney made application for
town water and on motion of Elliott
& alcKibbon, the Commissioners were
instructed to proceed with. the
work.
The next regular meeting of the
Council will be held on the first Mon-
day in May, when other applications
for water will be dealt with.
THE. BY-LAW. VOTE.
By-law No. 605 of the .irown of
Wingham has received its second
reading, and is now before the pro-
perty -holders of this municipality.
It is published in this issue of the Ad-
vance in full, and every person inteer-
ested should read it carefully, and
each voter know for himself what the
vote means, and not depend uppn
more hear -say or street talk.
It is not necessary to rehearse here,
all the provisions of the By-law. In
short, it authorizes the granting of a
bonus of $1300 to C. Lloyd & Son, and
a lease of the Davidson lot, and anoi h-
er small portion for a C.P.R. freight
shed, for the term of 21 years at a
nominal rental.
C. Lloyd & San agree on their part
to erect and equip a factory at a cost
of at least $10,000, on whieh for a term
of tee years, the assessment for Town
purposes is not to eeceal $2,000.
School, county and local improvement
taxes are not to be limited to this as•
sessment.
The Advance believes in the Town
of Wingliant ; believes in a policy of
building up its interests, increasing .its
population, and to this end we Must
hold the industries we have, and reach
out for others. If we lose our indua.
tries, our population will decrease, and
property values will depreciate.
The Town runs no risk in dealing
as the By-law provides with C. Lloyd
& Son. The firm is well-known, and
its members have proved themselves
good citizens, capable business men
and of unquestioned integrity.
Believing that it is in the interests
of the Town of Wingham to retain
this Indust**. the Advance intends to
support the By-law. The annual cost
to the Town will be $128.88. Par this
expenditure, we receive full share of
sehool and county taxes, town- tax-
ation on $2,000, lighb and water rates,
and prevent the removal from otir
midst of a number of families, each of
whom spends five times the amount
of the debenture in the Town
yearly.
It would be unWite, and inimical to
the Towtl'f3 interests, to oppose this
By-law.

ODDFELLOWS' SERVICE.
Meitland Lodge, No, 119, I.O.O.F.,
celebrated the Olet anniversary of the
founding of Oddfellowship by attend-
ing Divine Service in St: retire
Church on Sunday afternoon. The
Rector of St. Paul's, Bro. Rev. E. H.
()rely, delivered the sermon, taking as
his text—St. John 8;32—"And ye
shall knew the truth and the truth
shall mac, you free." He briefly re.
viewed the history of Oddfellowship
dwelling upon its max venous growth
especially during the last decade. To-
day there are nearly seventeen thou-
sand lodges with a membership of two
millions and invested funds of fifty
millions of dollars. In 1908 over nye
millions and a half dollars were spent
in relieving distressed members and
widows and educating the orphan.
In our own Province, there are
three hundred and sixty-flve ledges
with a membership of over 41,500, who
spent more than $128,000 last year
in relief, The great aim of Oddfellow-
ship is not only to relieve the distress-
ed, to visit the sick, to bury the dead,
to aid the widow and. to educate the
orphan, but it also seeks to elevate
and strengthen the character of each
member by. inculcating the great
moral lessons of Friendship, Love and
Truth.
The Reverend gentleman then
brought before his bearers for their
contemplation, the freedom that
Truth gives. The desire for liberty
was not a new thing and many had
sought to give it to mankind. But
the Man, Christ Jesus was the only
one who had proclaimed freedom
through knowing the truth about the
great realities of life. Those realities
were the very rock foundation of Odd.
fellowship. The Fatherhood of God,
the brotherhood of Man and the eon-
tinuity of life beyond the grave. The
truth as contained in these eternal
principles givesi perfect freedom from
many perplexing questions of the day.
The truth gives social freedom.
There can be no longer any question
of 'distinction, between rich and poor,
high and low, peer and peasant. A
more noble and generous man is in
my presence, therefore rny rank is
nothing.
The truth gives mental freedom.
To God I must give account. Before
Him, I am responsible. No man has
any right to shackle my mind with
vain stmerstitions. But co -existent
with this mental freedom, is deep
humility. I am human and may err.
Only as the truth is in God can 1 bave
mental freedora. The truth gives
freedom from fear. We are all more
or less slaves to fear in one form •or
another. Fear of death, fear of palu,
fear of the world's sneering laugh,
and only as we realize the dignity of
our position as sons of God will we
overetane this fear. Lastly, truth
give freedom from or superiority to
m tny of the temptations which sur-
round us. When we know that
everything we do here, has an influ-
ence on what we shall be hereafter,
then we will no longer. be slaves of our
passions, nor of the things of this
world, but our hearts will be fixed
where true joys are to be found.
• In the light of truth we shall walk
as Odelfellows, and tbe time will come
when from every hamlet and village
throughout the world, the smoke of
our altars shall ascend testifying that
there, Oddfellows are joined in the
"Mystic Tie" of Friendship, Love and
Truth.
"We live in deeds, not years,
In feelings, not in figures on a dial,
In thoughts, not breaths,
We shonld count time by heart
throbs.
He most lives who thinks most,
Who feels the noblest
Ated who acts the best."

Death Of A Father.
Mr, Jno. Kerr was called to London
this week by the death of his father,
Me. James Kerr, which occurred on
Saturday evening, in his 701h year.
The deceased was a native of Ireland,
where he lived until his 26th year.
Then lie came with his wife to Canada
and settled in the city of London,
afterwards moving to con. 5, London
Tp., where he lived until after the
death of his wife some la years ago.
Since then be has been living with his
son, Henia, in London, Mr. Kerr
was a builder and contractor; and
many of the houses throughout the
county of Middlesex were built by
him. He leaves five sons—Henry of
London, Jas. 11, Robt. and Charles
Wesley of Toronto, and John of
Wingham.
Sad Bereavement.
Sincere sympathy is felt for Mr.
James Dow, jun., of East Wawanosh,
in the sad bereavement that has dark-
ened his life and home. Less than
three years ago, he was married to
Miss Ellen Leishman, and the future
promised to be bright and happy.
But disease settled upon the young
wife and to -day she is numbered with
those that have crossed the "rolling
tide." For some time past, Mrs. Dow
had been in failing health, and. on
Monday she passed away, in her 31st
year. She was the daughter of Mrs.
R. Leishman of Marnoch, and had
hosts of friends, made during her
young womanhood and residence in
the township. She leaves one child,
about two years of age, who will in
the years to come miss mother's kind-
ly ministrations and loving care, for
no matter how kind others may be,
"mother" is missed. The funeral tak-
es place on Thursday to Wingham
cemetery, leaving the residence of
Mrs. R. Leishman at 2 p. m.

Subway Not Likely.
There is a real need of proper pro-'
tection at the G.T.R. crossing on Jose-
phine street. The Company's engin-
eer was here on Thursday looking in-
to the matter, and voiced the willing-
ness of the Co. to protect human life
as far as possible. A subway had
been spoken of, but on examination,
it is estimated to cost over $50,000. If
gates were installed by the Co., the
Town would perhaps be expected to
maintain a man there to attend to
them. The probability is, that for the
present at least, the Co. will keep a
man there on duty, to warn the public
of danger from approaching trains.
A Postoffice Clock.
We have known for the past three
years that Dr. Chishohn, M.P. for
East Huron, has been endeavoring to
secure Government favor for Wing -
ham in the shape of a Clock for the
tower of the post office. Our citizens
will be pleaeed to hear that he has
now succeeded, and $2,000 has been
placed in the estimates for that pur-
pose; see Supplementary estimates,
page 0, Sessional paper No. 50 A. Two
thousand dollars ought to furnish a
good clock, one in accord with the
fine bnilding in which it will be plac-
ed. Citizens hare often hoped to see
the vacant place in the tower filled,
and as an appropriation has now beeri
made for the purpose, their hopes are
likely soon to be realized.

Clegg is License Inspector. The rid-
ing will have eleven licenses.
Death Of Mrs. Sadler.
On Sunday last, there passed away
one of the earliest settlers of Wing -
ham, Mrs. Wm. Sadler, after an ill-
ness of several weeks. Her maiden
name was Jane Cornyn, and she was
born in Ireland in 1831. When she
was but three ?torahs of age, her par-
ents emigrated to Canada, and for a
number of years resided in Morning -
tort township, Perth County, where
the deceased was married to her late
husband, Mr. Win. Sadler, and in
1855, they removed to Wingham. Mr,
&tenet passed away about twenty-
seven years ago. There were born to
them throe sons and three daughters;
two of the sons Wm. James and John
Wesley' are dead, the third son,
George, is a resident of Detroit. The
danghters are—Mrs. Jas. Kerr of To-

Fight The Typhoid Fly..
The press in some of the American
cities is endeavoring to arouse the citi-
zens to the danger of disease from the
filthy fly. Dr. Benz, Health Commis-
sioner of St. Paul, Minnesota, urges
everyone te take part in a campaign
to be waged against the fly, and his
advice might be heeded in every city
and town. It will be a small matter
for each citizen to do his or her share
and the total effort shoold be a saving
of health, and even of many lives.
Scientists have demonstrated that the
fly is 'one of the most active of agen-
cies in the spread of contagion, parti-
cularly, of typhoid fever and other
gertn diseases that often become epi-
demic. The fly carries the germs on
his feet. The favorite breeding places
of flies are in piles of rubbish and in
barn refuse. The best way to fight
the pest is to eliminate dirt. Keep
the garbage cans clean and covered.
Do not allow rubbish and dirt to ac-
cumulate. Keep your house and yard,
your store or factory, scrupulously
clean. In that way the number of
flies will be reduced to a .minimum,
which will mean a lessening of the
number of victims of contagion. It
may mean life and death to you or
one of your family or friends. It is a
small thing for each one to do, ,so
small that no one can afford to be
negligent.

The Whitechurch Episode.
The Advance has no wish to write
anything disparaging of Whitechurch
or its residents. It is a fact, however.,
that a disturbance occurred there re-
cently, that may appear in city papers
in garbled and sensational articles.
Hence a brief reference may not be
out of place. It is perhaps safe to say
that those who took part in the un-
fortunate affair, did so without any
thought of it ending as it did. Pos-
sibly it appealed to them as the right
thing to do, as it appeared to them.
Hasty, impulsive actions on the sug-
gestion of others are very unwise.
We cannot believe that so many of
the respectable citizens of White-
church would deliberately put them-
selves in the position that these good
citizens of the village find themselves.
The fact is clear, however, that eleven
of them assembled, and acted as they
should not, and that during the time,
shots were fired (possibly all intended
to be blank) but from some thought-
less ,person's weapon, there seems to
have come shot that entered the
house, and emall stones were also
thrown through the window. Hence
it is clear that the law was broken,
and the result that followed was pen-
alty. Provincial Constable Phippen
worked on the case, which was heard
before P. M. Morton cm Monday,
County Crown Attorney Seeger con-
ducting the ease for the complainant,
Dudley Holmes appearing for the de-
fendants: The Magistrate, after hear-
ing the evidence, committed five of
the defendants for trial, Bail was at
once forthcoming, and for the present
the regrettable matter is over. The
Advance is exceedingly sorry that
these generally respected citizens
should hey° allowed themselves to be
Led into this trouble, It would, we
think, have been wise to settle the
matter when the opportunity offered,
ant] thus closed the unforturiate af-
fair altogether. In his address, the
County Crown Attorney referred to
Constable Phippen, commending him
before the public, and stating that he
was regarded as one of the best and
most trusty officers of the law.
