SANCTUM PARAORA,PIS. -Both bratiches of the Wisconsin Legislature have passed a bill grant- ing suffrage to women. The bill will be submitted to the voters of the state for approval and, if endorsed, will go into effect in 1913. -It is reported in Liberal circles that John Tolmie, M,P„ of Kincar- dine, will not be the standard-bearer again in North Bruce, it being under- stood that he is to be given a seat in the Senate. According to tbis report C. M. Bowman, M. P. P„ of South- ampton, will run for the Commons. -Some of the leading papers of Lan- doll(England) do not speak well of the attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier on Imperial questions at the Conference now being held in the old land. One _ writer, in an open letter to him, calls hien "Mr.. Facing both ways." The Standard says that "it seems to be Sir Wilfrid's aim -to eliminate everything but the sentimental link of the crown, making Canada, in fact, a separate kingdom under the British monarchy," and calls hila a "wet blanket." It is claimed that he is try- ing to hold Quebec by out -doing even Bourassa in anti-Insperuel speeches. Even so staunch a Liberal paper as the Montreal Witness finds fault with hie attitude in this respect. * * * -During last winter's session of the Ontario Legislature, A. 1L Musgrove, M.L.A. for North Huron, asked parti- culars of the publication of the new series of readers and other text books, with details of the contracts and com- parisons of the new prices with those charged for the -.old series. The Minister of Education has prepared a blue book, which gives the informa- tion asked for. The report shows that without including the total savings on the drawing books, which will certain- ly exceed $20,000, the savings on public school books during the life of the present contracts will total over $770,000. The savings on high school books during the same period will total over $200,000, without taking into account the savings to arise from the reductions to be make in the prices of the five books to be issued .this year. "The total relative savings on all authorized text books during the life of the contracts will exceed $1,000,000," says the statement. * * * -The Tax Reform League has issued a circular regarding the exemption of Church property from taxation, and suggests that the present system be changed, and the buildings be exempt- ed, but the land values only be taxed. This, it is claimed, would not impose on thein auy serious burden, but would relieve them of being charged with being "tax -dodgers." Iu Van- couver, B. C. (where a year ago all taxes on buildings were removed) the voters recently decided by a large majority to tax church lands the same as other lands in the munici- pality. In that city, to;dayp, without being burdened by taxes, •the churches have been relieved of the suspicion of seeking tax favors at the expense of the rest of the community. The Tax Reform. League aims to secure for municipalities-, the power to reduce the tax rate on buildings and im- provements, and increase., the rate on land values. In this way the change which appears desirable to many, could be brought about. -Dear reader -do you ever pause to think for a haif an hour over the awful waste of militarism. No great wars are now in progress, nor are there any indications of a slaughtering conflict near at hand; And yet with peace prevailing, and talk of permanent peace in the air, the awful waste continues.' In 21 Christian countries ('o called at least) eight billion dollars are spent annually in time of peace for war purposes. If this vast sum were put into packages containing one thousand dollars each, there would be eight million packages. The popula- tion of Wn ham i and t# ig s 2481 , a if this amount of money was divided among Wingham people, it would give every Man, woman and child three million dollars of a permanent bank account, and also give every one of them near- _ ly a quarter of a million spending money, or to be exact $221,500.00 pocket Money. Personally, we would be satisfied with the epending money and let the bank account go. If it were possible to start a conflagration that would destroy $15,000 worth of property every minute, day and night, it Would take a whole year to burn up ae much as Christian nations spend for war, in time of peace, la it not time .that the awful waste was stop- ped? le it not shameful, that Canada With her small population should propose to spend this year' 22 million dollare on this play -at -war business Yet we are a peaceful people 1 With eo many opportunities for develop- Merit, and our public debt increasing, should thin country throw money away at that rata? We think tot. WIN -GRAM, ONT., THUI SDAY, JUNE I5 , 1911. WATERWORKS BY-LAW. By-law No, 031 is published on page 8 in this week's issue of the Advance, and is now fairly before the property - owners of town for their sanction or disapproval, It provides for the rale- ing of an additional $5000 for the purpose of procuring a supply of pure water for domestic purposes, the amount previously voted not being sufficient. Of the original $0000 voted, some (probably $1200) has been spent in the drilling of wells, which the Commis- sioners claim (on the computation of the Engineer) will supply a sufficient quantity of water for a much larger town than Wingham is likely to be, for many years at least, About $4,800 of the $0,000 still remain to be ex- pended. The water has been analyzed and found to be of excellent quality, and free from injurious substances likely to affect the health of the com- munity. That there is opposition to the passage of the By-law, is evident to even the casual observer. Some never regarded the Commission form of doing Town work favorably ; some seem to lack confidence in the wisdom and judgment of the Commissioners ; some are opposed to the expenditure of any more money than was at first voted ; and again, others are opposed to placing the wells in the locality chosen by the Commission. These combined influences may result in the defeat of the By-law. The question of pure water for domestic purposes is a big question ; itis fraught with great responsibility. Tho availability and use of pure water may affect not only the health, but the lives of members of our families, This is an undeniable fact, Hence the bigness of the question, The Advance submits, that it would be wise for each voter to clear his or her mind of all prejndices, and look at this vital question from the broad standpoint of civic welfare, and the health, and perhaps lives of members of our families. In other words :- The question 01 pure water .for domestic purposes is too big to be sidetracked by little prejudices, or sacrificed by indifference to the pubs !ie welfare, We should look at it from the broader view of its bear ing upon the health of our fellow citizens, In case the By-law is defeated, what about the balance of $1,800 (or there. abouts) remaining unexpended of the first vote? The money cannot be used for any other purpose than that for which it was voted. Are the rate- payers satisfied to let it remain in the Bank a;t • three per cent. interest, while they pay 4:¢ per cent. on the debentures. Or, would it be better to add more to -it, and secure the laudable object at first aimed at, viz , -pure water for domestic purposes. The Advance does not intend to unduly urge property owners to sup- port the By-law, but the editor Would be recreant to his duty, did he not lay the matter before his readers, as it appears to one without prejudice. The property -owners are intelligent men, and we trust will view the question on its merits. Read the By-law carefully. WHAT PEOPLE SAY. -That the crop of winter apples will be very light. -That the game of politics will experience quite a revival ere the pumpkins grow big and turn yellow. -That the streets on which sewers have been laid look much better for the work put-on them by the Street committee this spring. --That the hay crop promises to be heavy, and the frequent showers and warm weather are causing the country to clothe itself in a beautiful mantle of green. -That the Water Commissioners are asking for tenders for digging trench on Leopold street from John to Patrick street ; also on Leopold street from John to Victoria streets. -That June 22nd will be a holiday, but that it runs too close to Dominion day to he popular. Coronation day may be all right, but ought never to eclipse the birthday of Confedera- tion. -That the Wingham young ladies did not all tumble over each other In their effort to welcome the census -tak- er; in order to enlighten him on how many summers they had seen corse and gb. -That while it is not right to break the bylaw of the town by bicycling osi the aldetvalks, the dozens of baby. carriages on the sidewalks on Satur• day evening are even a greater incon- venience to pedestriants, -That report has it that a man from the west of the riding may be nominated on the 23rd to oppose the present popular member of North Huron, Mr. Musgrove, but that the result ie not likely to be eerioae1y affected. A Coincidence.. Since Dave Lougheed met with his unfortunate accident, he has had plenty of time to figure things out, and here is an illustration: -•Sts little daughter, Mar#e, was seven years old on March llth ; her age and her birth day made her father's birthday, Mar. 18th ; her age, Iter birthday, and ber father's birthday, made his age, 30.

A very pretty, but quiet wedding took place on June 7th, at high noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Magee, Bluevale road, when their only daughter, Elizabeth, became the bride of Alexander Elliott. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. J. W. Andrews of Bluevale. The happy couple left for their new home in Dur- ham on Thursday morning. A Large circle of friends wish Mr, and Mrs. Elliott many years of happiness. Many useful and pretty presents were received, Terrific Storm in Owen Sound. On Saturday evening, Owen Sound came through its worst hailstorm and its first tornado between 6 and 7 o'clock. The damage is variously esti- mated at $150,000 to buildings and crops, but the extent of the damage will never be arrived at with any degree of accuracy. Between 4th and 18th street, clear across the town, scarcely a house is left undamaged. The lightning struck near Harrison's sawmill, followed the iron rail into the mill killed one man and injured six others, The storm came from the west and was about two miles wide. First there was an electric bombard- ment, followed by torrential rain, which in a few moments was accom- panied by hail, though the word scarcely describes the irregular chunks of ice which fell. Every northerly or westerly exposed windows felt the force and scattered glass lay every- where. Plate glass windows were smashed so small that shovels were best adapted to their removal. Sky- lights on stores were perforated and let in the torrents of rain. Residence windows were riddled as with a gat - ling gun, and the windows of churches and publie buildings suggested an ex- ceedingly lively scene. When the hail was at its height a tornado swept through the belt, tearing up trees, breaking off" great branches, over- turning smokestacks and aiding in the destruction. It war the worst sterni ever experienced, FAttMorts, ATTENTION 1• --We have best assortment of Shoes, suitable for Farm Work ever ehown in town ; prices $150 to $3.50-W. S. Greer, CARD OP THANKS.

" The 45th annual report of the nWingham Methodist Church, for the year ending April 30, 1911, has been s distributed to the congregation. The m membership reported is 531. The " report covers 22 pages and gives full ' particulars of each, department of the work of the church. The amount raised for Connexional funds or schemes was $1597.97 ; of this $1028 31 h was for missions, to which the Wo- man's Missionary Society added $183,41, making a total for missions of $1200.72, The Ladies' Aid report $454,89 receipts, and the Epworth League, $00.13. The Sunday School reports a total membership of 496, and receipts of $717 87, Weekly offerings amounted to $1052.40 ; pew rent, o $519 .a ; loose collections, $493.03 ; Church improvement fund, $504.10. The grand total raised for the year was $5401.68, Considering their cir- cumatances, few congregations are more liberal in supporting church en- terprises and work. The officials begin another g er year with gratitude for past progress, and hopeful for the future. Jardine Must Hang.have There is now no prospect of coin- P P mutation of the sentence of death in case of Jardine, sentenced for the murder of Lizzie Anderson in Gode- rich. His case has been, considered by the Cabinet, and though he is said to be a moral pervert, the decision is- that he was responsible for his actions, and the sentence of the law must be carried out. Jardine must bang, andi'orth as the day of execution draws near, the condemned man begins to realize his position more than he did some time ago. For the first time for over a quarter of a century a scaffold has been erected in the courtyard of Gode- rich jail. Upon it, on June 16, Ed- ward Jardine will expiate his crime the wilful murder of Lizzie Anderson. According to Sherrill Reynolds, less than half a dozen people will witness the carrying out of the sentence, A curious wish mads lately by 11Irs, Wesley Anderson, mother of the murdered girl, was that she might have Jardine's body to inter with that of .her daughter. For some strange reason, she has continually befriended the murderer, not blaming him in the least for his crime, New Phones Installed.
