—There seems to be peculiar coin-
cidence between the rise and fall of
political parties in Canada and the
United States, as the Ottawa Journal
points out. In 1890, within a short
time of eaeli other, The Democratic
Government in the States and the
Conservatives in the Dominion, went
down to defeat, In 1900, Republicans
hi the States and the Liberals in Ca-
nada were both returned by increased
majorities. In 1901, both Republicans
and Liberals were again retutrned. In
1008, once more both Governments
were returned. with majorities too
large for the good of the country.
Now in 1910 within a few days, the
Taft Administration in the States and
the Laurier Government received the
heaviest blow in their fourteen years
of power. It is said, that on account
of the recent Deraocratic victory, Taft
cannot be re-elected President in 1012,
and. the recent Liberal defeat in Que-
bec, indicates that Sir Wilfrid will
have the hardest contest of his life to
sustain his Government at the next
election. The coincidences are cer-
tainly mat ked.

—Is the old home -land reaching an-
other period in her history, when her
resources and staying powers will be
011. tested, as they have been more than
once in her history. Notwithstanding
assurances of no danger, the situation
in India, where the white population
is but a fraction of the whole, there is
a deep and wide -spread • movement
against British rule. Just now too,
them is a threatened rising in the
Soudan, so serious that it has been
thought wise to send Lord .Kitchener
there and. increase the number of
troops. Britain is not likely to re-
lease her hold on either India or
Egypt, for her interests in those coun-
tries are too extensive. Immense pub-
lic .works have been undertaken in
Egypt, and under British rule the
country has developed wonderfully.
As a result, Egypt is heavily in debt,
and Britain has large investments
there. Borrowed m. oney has restored
the presperity of Egypt by developing
her resources, and investrisents must
be protected; to do this, there must
be good and. stable government Be-
sides, as Egypt is the high -way be-
tween Britain and India, it is irnpor-
taut that Egypt remain under British
control.
* * *
—It is a regretable fact to be re-
minded. of, that in this favored coun-
try, crime is on the increase. The
annual report of the Minister of Jus-
tice is evidence of the fact. With all
the religious advantages of the pre-
sent day, churches, Sunday Schools,
Y.M.O.A., the Salvation Army and all
the other agencies for good constantly
and. actively at work, we should
naturally expect a decrease of crime,
and a higher moral tone in our land.
There never was a titne when there
was more knowledge, more teaching
along religious lines, and. as a result,.
increased responsibility. It is possible
that we have reached that period
described by one of the apostles, when
ts men shall have "the form of godliness,
but denying the power," Even in
favored Ontario, the awful crime of
murder has largely increased of late.
Nor can the increase altogether be
traced to irensigretiote for in many
cases, the criminals are not foreigners.
There is room for questiort, se VI
whether (with all our religious privi-
leges, and the advance of temperanee
sentiment) we are as a people, becom-
ing better exponents of that "right-
eousness that exalteth a nation," than
our fathers were.

A New Secretary Chosen.
Mr. Alfred Sheriff, for some years a
member of the staff of the Mail and
Empire, and that paper's representa-
tive at Osgocale Hell, has been ap-
pointed to the position of private sec-
retary to Hon. Dr. Reautne, rendered
vacant by the dismissal of Mr. Harry
Malsonville. Mr, Sheriff speaks three
or four languages. The salary is $1,-
800 per year.
Mrs. Calvert Deceased.
Mrs. Thos. Calvert passed away ou
Friday evening. She bad a stroke of
paralysis a few weeks ago, from
which she never fully recovered, She
was fifty-nine years of age, and leaves
two daughters, Mrs. Sandy Finlay of
Lower Wingham, Mrs. Heerlen of
Hamilton, and two sons. The fun-
eral took place on Sunday, the service
being conducted by the Captain of the
Salvation Army.
More Carelessness.
The Durham Chronicle reports that
while practising for amusement with
imall 22 calibre rifle on Thanks-
giving Day, Wm. Campbell, son of
Inspector Campbell, did not aim just
right, and the bullet lodged in the
body of a horse belonging to John
Marshall, who was ploughing a town
garden at some distance away, In-
stead of hitting the horse, the bullet
might have struck the man. Here is
another warning against carelessness
in handling fire -arms.
Capable Management.
The Clinton News -Record states
that from 2S acres of sugar beets
grown on the House of Refuge farm,
the gross receipts have been $225,
probably netting $200. And from
half an acre of Dutch set onions the
net returns have been $191 80, with
200 pounds of pickling onions still on
hand. $400 worth of hogs have been
sold off tlse farm, while from other
products about $200 has been realized,
naaking a revenue of $1,000 from the
fanm. this year. This is the best yet,
and shows what capable management
can accomplish.
A Good Idea.
Beeton Council has decided that any
business place paying upwards of $12
per annum for lights, or any residence
paying $10, is entitled to. a light in
front of the premises free, on coedi-
tion that it is placed there at the ex-
pense of the person desiring it. A
number of other towns in Ontario
have adopted the system. This has
been suggested in Wingham once or
twice, but not yet granted. It would
make our streets much brighter at
nights, and possibly the Commission-
ers *may see their way clear to grant
it, when the repairs to the dam are
completed.
Formerly Of Tu-robeiry.
On November 1st, in Holland, Man„
there passed to the great Beyond,
Mary Thompson, wife of John Deacon,
She had retired to bed in her usual
good health, but her husband was
aroused by hearing her gasp for
breath ; a physician was summoned,
but before he arrived, she had passed
away. Mrs. Deacon spent her girl-
hood days on the farm in Turnberry,
now owned by Gavin Wilson. She
leaves a bereaved husband, one son,
three brothers and one sister. The
brotlaers are Jatnets, John and Wil-
liam, and the sister, Mrs. Sanderson,
all of Holland, Man.
—Following the Government res
verse in Druennond-Arthabesca, an
immense Nationalist meeting was
held in Montreal, addressed by Henri
Bourassa. It is eatinaated that 10,000
oeople were present, ana that indi-
cates the strength of the movement.
Bourassa challenged Sir Wilfrid
Laurier to open another Liberal con-
stituency and plam himself as candi-
date. Sucb a meeting, heist hi a Que-
bec coostitirency, shows that a mark-
ed change has taken place in public
sentituent. Where only a short while
ago Laurier Was the popular idol and
Where it would not have been safe for
anyone to even question his suprellas
aoy, the mere mention a his name
was received With a storm of beets.
It appears Urea the riavy is not the
Only cause of cemplaint. The anti -
Laurier feeling seems partly based on
the convictioa that the :Premier and
his followerhave been fooling the
electors Inc years, while graft has
been allowed to permeate several of
the departateete, as the intrestigations
of the Maine and Printing buresius
have shown. Thete have been bad
eaa, enough, but there are grave tituipielotts
r that the great Intending departroent
(Public Works) under Hon. Pugsley, is
even weree. The Nationalist -leaders
ditsdairn anything of an anti-ritithila
feeling, and yet itorne of their speeches
appear thastured With disloyalty, tiara
not Oisloulated to build up a Wilted
people in thee atetr Detainion.

A Father Deceased.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Willis were
called to Seaforth on Tuesday by the
death of Mr. Willie' father, which oc-
curred on Sunday nsorning, .The de-
ceased, lelr. Robt. Willis, was one of
ths pioneers of Seaforth, and had been
engaged in the boot and shoe business
there for forty years. He had been in
ill health for several months, and was
73 years of age. Further particulars
are not available at time of writing.
House The Implements.
The manager of a large implement
concern recently stated, that he be-
lieved the wear and tear of machinery
on a moderate-sized farra amounted to
at least $100 a year. He further stat-
ed that although the situation suited
him to perfection, this loss could be
reduced fully 50 per cent, if farmers
would properly house their imple-
ments. A good implement shed,
which would fully protect themachin-
ery from the weather can be built for
$500, If $50 were saved, this would
mean a return of 10 per cent. on the
money invested in the shed; and in
most cases the returns will be over 10
per cent.
Fatal Accident At Brussels.
A distressing accident occurred on
Saturday afternoon at Pryne's mill
in Brussels. The chopper burst with
tremendous force, and pieces of the
metal struck Mr. James ,Elliott, who
was attending it. His right arro was
cue off and. his chest and. legs were in-
jured, He was quickly conveyed to
his home and medical aid. secured, but
he died on Sunday morning.. Deceas-
ed was a bighly respected citizen, and
his death came as a shock to the
entire village, He was a member of
the Pablic School Board, and leaves a
sorrow -stricken widow and family of
five children. He was in his fiftieth
year. The funeral took place on
Wednesday, and was very largely at-
tended.

A Critical Operation.
Howard Stewart, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Stewart of Bluevale, is
home from Victoria Hospital, London,
where he passed through a very
critical operation. The trouble seem-
ed to be in his bladder, and the
operation revealed the cause, for there
was found a needle, in the centre
of a ball of stone. The writer mea-
sured the stone, and. found it Jo be
fully 5S- inches in circumference. The
needle was as large as a small darning
needle, and its presence seems to have
irritated the organ, and by degrees,
the sediment had formed around the
needle, until it had reached the hard-
ness of stone and of the size given
above. But how did the needle come
there ? Some years ago, Howard
underwent an operation (not in Wing -
barn) and it is supposed that through
some oversight, the needle was left in
that part of the young man's ana-
tomy, and in time became encrusted
as described. The stone is in the
Advance office and can be seen there.
Mrs. Stewart remained with her son
in London during his illness. The
wonder is—how any person could live
with such an irritant in an organ of
the body. Howard is congratulated
on his recovery, after- an illness of
several weeks.

Prolect Up Again.
There are two towns in Ontario that
need railway connection very much
indeed; they are Owen Sound. and
Meaford. The matter has beeen talk-
ed of for years, but still the lumber -
lug, old-fashioned stage furnishes the
chief method of communication be-
tween these towns twentir miles
apart. Recently another effort was
made to change the old-time con-
ditions. It was decided to endeavor
to secure the co-operation of the towns
across the three counties of Bruce,
Grey, and Simcoe, to secure a charter
Inc a line from Southampton, througb
Owen Sound, Meaford, Thornbury,
Collingwoocl and on to Orillia.
liere's Another Prediction.
The Bruce Times (Walkerton) has
the following :—Meeting our own
weather prognosticator, who bases his
predictions on purely scientific reasons
(as he knows them), we asked him
what he thought of all the reports of
a very cold winter, based on the trap-
pers' reports, that all furbearing anis
mals have an extra heavy coat of fur.
He said, "tbe animals may need the
extra coat to combat with the extra
cold fall, which will be over about the
15th Dec., from which time the mild-
est lot of weather for the time of the
year, that it is possible for us to have
will continue until May 1st, 1911."
People will see in these predictions
evidences of a light coal bill. So may
it prey() to be,
A Municipal ''Slate."
In Guelph, the Board of Trade is
selecting a "slate" of eandidates for
the municipal elections. The Strat-
ford Beacon thinks it would be a good
idea for Stratford to follow the ex-
ample of Guelph, and adds ;—
"Present appearances point to
the old method of drifting along
tilt nomination day, and then
naming a long Het practically at
random. It would be almost as
well to put a lot of tames in a bag
and draw them out, and say these
shall be the earididates. Why do
-citizens not apply the same coin -
mon sense to municipal affairs
that they do to their butiness
I s there an elector, who if he
wishes to engage a Mae, woold
not give the subject some consi-
aeration as soon as the 'necessity
arose? These municiparpositions
are to be filled tin January And.
Surely the time to consider who
shall fill them, is not a week before
they are required,"
The Advance is not surd a "slateaars it
is coaled, Would. veotit oat Well in all
cases. Nevertheless, eve have seen it,
even in Winghata, difficult to get
enough men to stand, to avoid a see -
tura nomination, and at the last

Death Of A Daughter.
Mrs. Leishman, sr., of East Wawa -
nosh, mourns the death of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Joseph Wanes, of Arcola,
Sask. The deceased lady was brought
up in this vicinity, and hence was well
known here. She died on Oct. 29th,
and leaves a sorrowing husband and
four children, the youngest only six
months old. She also leaves six
sisters—Mrs. John Armstrong of Bel -
grave, Misses Celia and Emma of Wa-
svanosh, Miss Olive of Canfield, Mrs.
C. Whitman and Mrs. Albert Maines
of Arcola. There are also tvvo bro-
thers, Alexander and Efenry, both of
East Wawanosh. Mrs, Leishman has
had much sorrow, as it is only a few
months since another daughter, Mrs.
James Dow, passed over the river
of death.
Mourned For As Dead.
The Kincardine Review reports the
following; — "After being mourned
for over a year as dead, murderea by
thugs in Spokane, James Fuller of
Kingarf has been heard from. He
wrote from Arizona to Miss Colwell
of the Oth con., Kincardine. Appar-
ently he knows nothing of the report
of his death and inquired after his
sister and aunt, although both died
within the past year. The report of
his death appeared in the Reviesv
of July 29, 1909. No news had been
heard from him Inc some months. In
June a body was found at Spokane.
The man had been murdered and his
body thrown into the river. It was
recovered and held for indentification
at the Morgue. Valencey Fuller went
from Montana and viewing the body,
believed it was that of his brother.
Needless to say, the letter has
brought joy to Mr. Fuller's family
and friends."
The Boy Scouts,
The Boy Spout's pledge is as fol-
lows :-1—To be loyal to God and the
King. 2—To help other people at all
times, 5—To obey the Scout law.
On Thursday evening, Nov. 17th, at 8
o'clock a meeting will be held in the
reading -room of the Mills Memorial
Hall to arrange for the formation of a
“Boy Scout Association" for Wing -
ham, According to the plan approv-
ed by the Headquarters Executive
Committee, this association will take
charge of the general supervision and
organization of the movement in this
district. The Boy Scouts are not in
any way to be confused with soldiers.
Scouting fer boys is simply a method
of developing among boys the manli-
ness and character which are so much
need.ed among our future citizens. All
men interested in this movement and
in work among boys are urgently re-
quested to be present.
Many Improvements.
During the past summeg very many
inaprovernents have been made on
farms on the Bluevale road, within a
mile and a half of Wingham, and the
farmers have not been idle. Duncan
Anderson has put in cement stabling
and stalls. W. F. VanStorte installed
system of drainage cif 10 inch tile, 1600
feet in length: he also had cement
stabling and stalls, and a system of
waterworks put in, that brings the
water to every stall. Robt. McKenzie
had his stable floors cemented. John
McLean.bad cement stabling and stalls
laid. W. J. Henderson built a cement
silo ; Jas. Henderson, cement stables
and stalls. Win. Henderson built a
new driving shed, and cemented his
stable floors. It is a good sign to see
farmers thus improving their build-
ings and making them more con-
venient ; it shows a, progressive
spirit, that will in the end bring
adequate returns, We question if
there is another mile and a half any-
where near us, where more improve-
ments have been made during the
summer, than the one referred to
here.
An Automobile Case.
At Orangeville last week, one of the
cases tried was that of Mrs. Margaret
Marshall, widow of John Marshall,
who was killed on June 17th last, near
his home in the township of Melanc-
thee, by his horses runniog away,
being frightened by the automobile
of Dr. T. G. Gowans of Horning's
Mills. Justice Latchford pointed out
to the jury that in case of accident
the Legislature had placed the burden
of proof on the automobilist to ehow
there had been no negligence on his
, part. Ite urged the jurors to consider
the case fairly and without prejudice.
The jury found that Marshall was not
in a position to avert the aecident,
because of the custom of unloading
gravel, that there Was no want of
reasonable care and diligence on his
part, They held • the defendant
shonld have sounded hie horn when
Marshall wile fiestoteen ; ana that he
ehould have stopped sootier. They
awarded. $2,000, apportioned, $1,000 to
Widow, $100 to second boy and $300
ettett to the three younger children.

Shop Early.
Only 25 more shopping days before
Christmas! Where are you at in your
plans for Yuletide gifts? Have you
paid any attention to the columns of
advice handed out by the merchants,
or will it be the same mad rush, the
same unsatisfied cnstomers and the
same disappointed recipients ? A little
early to , buy perhaps, but none too
early to plan or look around. From
now on the home merchants will be
receiving fresh, new Christmas goods.
The clerks will have more thne to
show you the goods and you will have
more time to consider wise selections
than in the last mad rush of shopping
days nearer the glad Christmas Day.
Again if the merchant hasn't that par-
ticular article you have decided on,
he can probably get it Inc you—if he
has time. How will Christmas Eve
find you—confidently satisfied that all
your shopping has been accomplished
or among the eleventh hour brigade,
out of temper, loaded like a dray horse
and. disgustedwith the whole occa-
sion ? Only 25 days more to shop be-

HOW DO YOU STAND.
1—Some subscribers pay Inc their
paper in advance; this enables the
publisher to come out nearly square,
2—Others hold off till near the end
of the year, and so cut off all his
small profit.
3—Worse still, some let, their sub-
scription run into arrears, and cause
adirect loss,
4—Even worse still—some seem to
require the editor to go to the trouble
and extra expense of mailing them
accounts Inc money that ought to
have been paid in advance.
5—Five or six hundred subscribers,
each owing from $1 to $2, means a
great deal to a newspaper man, Do
you see the point ?
LESSON To BE LEARNED.
If in arrears, pay up at once, and
renew for 1011, This will save the
editor, who has given you news week-
ly right along, the expense of mailing
your account, Besides, it would be
doing the fair thing.
