SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
—Sir Richard Cartwright recently
emphasized the awful waste of war-
like preperations, in the following
pithy sentence—"I recoil with horror,
from the reflection, that fonr of the
greatest nations on earth spend two-
thirds of their net revenees in war-
like preparations, while many of their
subjeets do not know from one day to
another where they will get their
bread."
* * *
—The Courts in Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, have measured out the penalty
to ten prominent men of that city on
charges of bribery and conspiracy.
Here is at least one case in the United
States, where money and soda' posi-
tion failed to save the wrong -doers
frora punishment. The sentences
ranged from eight to six months in
jail, and fines from $5,000 to $250. All
must serve the jail term in addition to
the fine. These sentences should have
a wholesale effect upon the municipal
fabric in that city. The nen sentenced
inchided doetors, bankers and other
prominent citizens.
* * *
—The coming summer is to witness
considerable political activity in Do-
minion affairs, Whether or not this
is a sign of the near approach of a
general election, we cannot say. Sir.
Wilfrid Laurier, and several members
of the Cabinet are booked for a num-
ber of big meetings in the West, The
Opposition leader and his lieutenants
are to hold a series of gatherings, so
tnat the voters of the Dominion need
not be in ignorance of the affairs of
this country. The Liberals will of
course endeavor., to justify the tre-
mendous increase in the expenditure
since they took charge of our public
affairs, while the Opposition will
sharply criticize the expenditure, and
assail the Governmeot's record. The
committal of this country of about
seven millions of population to an un-
necessary and immense outlay for a
so-called riavy should be condemned
by Grit and Tory. It would have
been cheaper by far to have given out-
right to the Motherland one or even
two Dreadnoughts. They would not
only have been more effeettial than
the little ships of "oar navy," but the
big expense of maintenance would
have been avoided. These projects
always cost a great deal more than
estimated; take the Grand' Trunk
Pacific for example. Political picnics,
brass bands, bunting, and lots of noise
will be in the air this summer, with
Grit and Tory contingents stumping
the country. However, we hope the
gas let loose will not blight the Norbb-
west crop, nor spoil our "garden -sass,"
Since we passed through the comet's
tail, we wish to be optimistic.

WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1910,
MEMORIAL SERVICE.
It was most fItting that on the day
of King Edward's funerais the citizens
nt the Town of Wingham sbould evi-
deuce their patriotism, their loyalty to
the Grown, and their sorrow at the
passing of their King. Mayor Holmes
proclaimed Friday as a public holiday,
and the Opera Hail was filled by an
attentive and sympathetic audience.
On the happy suggestion of Rev. E,
Croly, Rector of St. Panne Church,
denominational lines.were for the 1 ime
ignored, and. members of all the
churches assembled, a union choir
taking charge of the music. Before
the opening of the service, the OW.
sons' Band played a number of appro-
priate selections in front of the Town
Hall. Rev, N. 13urwash presided and
after the singing of a hymn, prayer
by Capt. Itiehes of the S. A., Rev. D,
Perrie read a suitable Scripture lesson,
Rev. E. H. Ctoly was the first
speaker. He referred to the sad event
that had reeently plunged the nation
into mourning,- and the bond of sym-
pathy that binds the vast empire to-
gether, for wlaerever the roll of the
British drum was heard, loyal bearts
voiced their sorrow at the death of
the King. He referred to the kingly
qualities that had graced the Char-
acter of King Edward, noting especi-
ally his tact, his practical sympathy,
his honor, and his faithful eclherence
to duty. He was sure that the sym-
pathy not only of British subjects,
but of the entire world went out to
the bereaved Queen mother. In dos-
ing, he reminded' the audience that
they were subjects of the King of
Kings, who claimed as his right, their
truest loyalty and devotion.
Rev, Dr. Rutledge was the next
speaker. He referred to the success-
ful reign of the King, all the more
rnarvellous because after the long and
remarkable reign of Victoriathere
were misgivings lest Edward VII
should fail to reach the ideal, So suc-
cessful had his reign been, that it was
necessary to go back to Alfred the
Great to find his equal, When he
carne to the throne, Britain was in
"splendid isolation." Now all was dif-
ferent—peace in South Africa where
war and strife prevailed; the 'United
States never more friendly; France al-
most an ally; Germany is kindly dis-
posed ; Russia, the great bugbear,
in sympathy and friendliness. What.
seemed impossible nine years ago,
had become a reality. The speaker
referred to the late King's filial dis-
position, his long years of waiting for
the throne, his diplomats*, statesman-
ship, and hie peace -loving character.
In closing, he spoke of the uplift that
came to every nation where Britain's
power and influence had touched, and
enaphasized the lesson to be learned
from Death's visits—"Be ye aleo
ready."
Rev. J. L. Steeves of the Baptist
Church spoke next. He was an
American, a citizen of the great Re-
public, but King Edward was esteem-
ed, and loved not only by his own
subjects, but by the American people.
Like as of one of old, so it might be
said of King Edward—"He being
dead yet speaketh." President Taft
had paid the late King this tribute—
"He did more to bring about peace
among European nations, than any
other sovereign," Hence it is true,
that the greatest Republic was on
friendly terms with the mightiest em-
pire, and sorrowed with the subjects
of the latter in the loss of their noble
King. Mr. Steeves remarks were
brief, but kindly and appropriate.
The hymn "Forever with the Lord"
was then sung, also "God Save The
King," and doxology, then Rev. D.
Perrie pronounced the benediction.

'present.

pied the chair, wlaile Rev. Mr. Murray
of Erskine Chnrch of Toronto, Mr,
Robertson, General Sec. of Sabbath
Schools, and Rev, Mr. McIntosh of
ICnox Church, Mitchell, delivered
short addresses on missions, teacher's
training course, introduction of cradle
rolls, and a talk to the assembled Sab-
bath School scholaron "The need of
Christ in their lives."
In the evening a session was held in
the auditorium of the church, at
which Rev. D. Perrie presided. Rev,
Mr. Robertson gave a fifteen minute
talk on "The teacher outside the
sehool," dwelling chiefly on the infle-
ence of personality. Rev. Mr, Mein-
tosh's theme was "The teacher in the
school," urging on all the need of
early preparation of the lesson, earn-
estness of purpose, and an ever-pre-
sent sense of the duty devolving on
each to be constant.
Rev. Mr. Murray delivered the chief
address of the evening, his subject be-
ing, "The bringing of the children to
decide early for Christ." He referred
to the prejudice existing to some ex-
tent in the Presbyterian Church
against receiving any but adult mem-
bers into full commission, but gave it
as his earnest conviction that as soon
as a boy or girl attained a knowledge
of Christ and a desire to fulfil His de-
mands, such a one should be admitted
to the Lord's table—for, urged he, in
later life the heart is not so susceptible
to influence and it became harder to
choose the right stand,
The choir rendered several choice
selections, Tennyson's "Crossing the
Bar" being sung in loving memory of
our late King,
Cantata, Queen Esther.

A Preak Chicken.
Mrs, W. R. Gallagher, near Blue -
vale, reports a freak chicken, with
two pair of legs, each pair turned
in opposite directions. The chick is
well formed in other respects and
quite smart. How it ist going to use
all four feet at once remains to be
seen, but won't that chiek discount
his fellows, when he gets over the
fence into the garden, with his double
scratehing machinery!
Perils Of Bachelordom.
It is neither pleasant nor safe to keep
"baehelor's hall." A report comes
from a little burg not a hundred miles
from Wingham of a baehelor, who
had just got home from town, and
putting his meat in the pan to fry,
lay down on his couch to rest awhile
and felt asleep, The "fat was in the
lire" before he woke, at least, the
meet began to burn and eanght lire.
Some athletes in the football field saw
the blaze throtigh the window stcl

reminded him that his meat required

Might Have Been Nal.
On Saturday an accident happened
to a child in Hanna & Co,'s store that
might have proved fatal in its results.
Mrs. John Hopper of near Belgrave
was transacting business in the mil-
linery department of the store, on
second floor, and. with herwas her
little boy, less than two years of age.
While she was busy, the little fellow
wandered to the back end of the room,
and fell down the elevator way into
cellar. As it is a distance of twenty-
nine feet, the wonder is that the ebild
was not instantly killed. Robb. Allen
picked the injured boy up tenderly
and medical aid. being secured, it was
found that his collar bone was broken
in addition to being badly bruised.
He was taken to Mr. V. VanNorman's,
and. on Monday was removed to his
home. His recovery is hoped for and
expected, though he will have to be
kept as still as possible for some time.
