--Tile editor of this paper, and
many other citizens, cannot attend
the Coronation ceremony, nor view
the pageant, Like loyal subjects
however, we can observe the holiday
and sing :-

To sing with heart and voice

-One of the political events of the
past week was the proviur:ial election
iu Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia
Legislature consists of 33 members,
In the Last Parliament the parties in
the Assembly stood 32 Liberals, five
Conservatives, and one Moral and
Social Reform, who 'was a Liberal.
The result of the elections on the 14th
shows an increase in the number of
Conservatives by six the figures now
being, Liberals 27 ; Conservatives 11.
Three of the ministers of the Cabinet
were defeated. One of the significant
things in the campaign was that Reci-
procity was kept out of the arena as
much as possible. Evidently the
trade pact is not taken seriously in
that province, and while the Murray
government has been sustained, it re-
ceived a bad shake, in the loss of six
supporters, three of them being mem-
bers of the Cabinet,
-In Canada, none need suffer for
lack of food, if able and willing to
work. Here are abundant opportuni-
ties for the industrious. True, our
cities may have their poverty-stricken
districts, but with Northern Ontario
opening up, and the greet West only
beginning to show what it is capable
of, there are opportunities for thou-
sands to better their conditions, if
there was only the will to do so, In
the old land„in one year recently 119
persons died as the result of starva-
tion; not so here. Possibly as coun-
tries grow older the distance between
the poor and the rich increases, It is
a long way from the circumstances of
those 119 persons, who died for lack of-
food,
ffood, to those of the wealthy living
on their incomes, which in the same
year totalled five thousaud million
dollars, that could be reached by tax-
ation, and nobody knows how much
there was that the tax collector could
not reach. We do not wonder that
there is a stream of immigration to-
wards Canada and its great, big West,
with its wonderful opportunities.
-Great Britain is doing a wise
thing in reducing her enormous
national debt, In six years last past
(including 1011) British statesmen will
have lessened the debt by about 350
million dollars. In this country, the
reverse process seems to obtain. Dur-
ing the past sic years
ending with
1010, Canada's net debt increased by
seventy million dollars, a This is of
course a new country and there are
avenues for expenditure which do not
exist in the old land. Yet with the
tremendous expenditure for naval pur-
poses, old age pensions, etc., the old
land statesmen must he good business
managers to reduce the debt to such
an extent. In Canada, graft and poll•
tical favoritism have something to do
en/ with the increase of our expenditure,
Our politicians might profitably fol•
low the example of British statesmen
in sortie things. From a statement
just issued, we learn that during the
fiscal year ending March 31, the debt
of Canada increased $3,713,305, and
now totals over three hundred and
forty million dollars, or to be exact,
$310,041,8.52,

Was errdng ed that goebee province

the census is taken each ten years,.
the total population of Quebec' is
divided by 05; this gives the unit of
representation for the Dominion.
Suppose that when the census is
taken, the population of 4uebee divid-
ed by Cid should give a quotient of
35,000, Then a County cf Ontario
of 30,000 population would have one

members, and so on, .At present
Ontario has 8t3representatives in the

WINanAM nOSPfTAL.
May the Advance speak a word in
behalf of Wingham IIospital ?
There are, we are sorry to say, some
who opposed
h e to the Hospital receiv-
ing any assistance from the Town.
They seem to think that it is a private
institution and a mono-maltin one
y g n
at that, and when the Town grants a
donation, they assume that it ,is
simply a gift to private individuals.
Nothing can be farther from the
trnth, and such an idea rests on a
misunderstanding of the situation.
The fact is -that It world be utterly
impossible to maintain a hospital hi
this town, if it were not for the liber-
ality of private individuals, the dona-
tions received, the assistance by way
of grants from Government, County
and Town, and last, but by no means
least, the untiring efforts of the
Ladies' Auxiliary of this Town. The
Auxiliary bas been a most valuable
factor in furnishing the hospital, and
in keeping up the supply of neces-
savies such as linen, of which new
supplies are constantly required. ',Ve
understand that with the, money
resulting from the bazaar recently
held, the ladies intend installing a
system of electric bells, connected
with each bed, a convenience so
much needed, that it has become a
necessity.
The average cost per patient last
year in the hospital was $1 62 per day,
or $11 34 per week. Consequently
any charge under that may bo count-
ed as free assistance. Last year 67
weeks treatment were given (board,
nursing, attendance, etc.) at $1.00 per
day, showing 67 times the difference
between $7 per week and the actual
cost $11.64, or charitable work
amounting to $300.58.
Besides these, there were 43 weeks
of entirely free treatment given.
Placing this free treatment at the
Lowest price, $7 a week (which is be-
low cost) the entirely free treatment
given Inst year would be $210,00,
while if it was counted at the actual
cost per patient last year, that is $1.02
per day, or $11.61 per week, the free
treatment given last twelve months
would amount to 43'times• $11,61, or
$500 52.
From these figures, it may be seen
that the hospital is doing a charitable
work in our midst, the value of which
many are unaware of, and cannot be
easily estimated in dollars and cents,
The directors do not noise this abroad,
but quietly, economically, anti with
self-sacrillee of time and means•, man-
age tbe institution most creditably.
The public-spirited citizens, who ori-
ginated the enterprise and have made
it successful (without any prospect of
even interest on their money) deserve
all the co-operation the community
can render, in their unselfish and
benevolent work.
Tho hospital authorities receive
patients gladly. They want the sick
to feel free to come, whether able to
pay or not. If so situated that they
cannot pay even $1.00 per day, the
doors of the hospital open wide and
free, and the patient receives careful
attention, board and nursing.
Is it not worth while having such
an institution in our town ? Should it
not receive all the support the citizens
can give it? Public-spirited citizens
zena
say -YES.
Some find fault because the Council
saw tit last year and this year to
grant $200 to the hospital, On the
present assessment, $200 makes one
quarter of a mill or one fortieth of a
cent on the dollar; or on an assess-
ment of $1,000, the tag would be 25
cents. A roan owning property as -
assessed for $1,000, will surely not
begrudge the hospital 25e per annum,
When the large amount of free treat-
ment is taken into consideration,

Returned From West.
Mr. Hugh McBurney of ]cast Wa-
wanosh returned from his trip to
Montana and Saskatchewan. Ile
visited bis daughter in the former
and two sons in the latter. Montana
is rough and mountainous, but •teas-
katchewan, Mr. McBurney thinks is
far ahead of the border state. On
June 5th, in Saskatchewan, he was
caught in a heavy snow storm ; never-
theless the prospect for a heavy wheat
crop is excellent, It iswheat, wheat
everywhere. Just before he left Sas-
kateliewan, Mr. McBurney saw Mr.
and Hits, John "ialpenny, formerly
of Wingham, settling an their home-
stead ; tbey have no house as yet,
but are domiciled in a tent, while do-
ing settlement duties. There is a wild
beauty about the big West and a
certain consciousness of freedom, as
ono feels comparatively alone in the
big prairie, but there is also a sense of
loneliness for the associations and
privileges of old Ontario. Ido. Me
Barney has a homestead in view for

A Prosperous Society.
The High Court of the Oanadian
Order of Foresters met in Toronto last
week. A few statistics may •not be
out of place, for this Order is one of
the best carrying on fraternal insur-
ance -membership at the end of 1019
was 78,104, During 1910 there were
408 deaths. On January 1st, 1911, the
Reserve Fund totalled aver three and
a quarter millions, or to be exact
$3,278,494 42. The premiums paid dur-
ing the year amounted to '$644,077.32.
The 498 death claims were nit with
$501,582.44. In other words, this so-
ciety paid out over half a' million dol-
lars for this purpose in 1910, The 78,-
101 members carry insurance amount-
ing to $78,102,000.00. The assets of
the Order aro $3,550,302 09, and its

Magistrate's Court.
Police Magistrate Morton held
Court on Friday on a case of wound-
ing, charged against Neil C. Coutts.
It appears that about 1130 on the
night of the 14th, screams were heard
in or near the Coutt's residence, and
on being asked to do so, night-watch-
tnan Gibson went up to see what the
trouble was. The evidence went to
show that he knocked twice at least.
When the outside door opened out-
ward, the Watchman stepped back and
down of the step, and in that position
was struck on the top of his bead with
the lamp Coutts held in his hand.
He then attempted to seize Coutts
and there was a struggle out on to
the lawn whereit seethe Coutts went
down, and while the night-watchman
was feeling for his handcuffs he re-
ceived other wounds on his head from
the broken lamp. Geo. Rankin, who
happened to be near took the wounded
man to his home, washed the blood
and coal oil from his face and bound
up his head, Later in the night,
Coatts was found by Chief Allan and
the night-watchman and plaeed ander
arrest and lodged in the coop. Next
day the trial was held, lasting several
hours. Colette was given thirty days
in Goderich jail. R. Vanstane prose.
cuted, and Dudley Holmes defended
the prisoner.
Jardine Pays Penalty.
Ohleriday morning last, at 8 o'clock,
]id. Jardine was hung inside the walls
of Goderich jail, The crime for which
he was condemned is still fresh in the
minds of many. On the night of Sep-
tember $0th Iast Elizabeth Anderson,
a young girl living at Saltford, was
missing from her home. On the
morning of September 25th her dead
anti nude body was found in the cellar
of an unused house near the fair
grounds, where Jardine and the girl
had been seen together on the 20tb.

Choice Cattle.
The Toronto World of June 8th, in
referring to a choice car of cattle, has
this paragraph ;-"In the choice Ioad
of exports mentioned he our report of
yesterday, were. two cattle, a •steer
and a heifer, that are worthy of
special mention. Tho heifer was four
years old and weighed 1775 lbs, ; the
steer two years old and weighed 1430
pounds. These cattle were fed by Mr.
Win. R. Yeo of Turnberry township.
Mr. Yeo deserves credit for raising
two such tine animate, which have not
been surpassed for weight and quality,

Wedding In Toronto.
An interesting matrimonial event
takes place in Toronto on Coronation
Day, when Miss Mary Sadler, a form-
er Wingharn young lady, becomes the
bride of Mr. Reese of Youngstown,
Ohio. The wedding will take place
at the home of her sister, Mrs. Jas.
Kerr, after which the happy couple
will take a trip to the coast, Miss.
Sadler bas always been highly re-
spected in Wingham, and was an
earnest worker in St. Paul's Church,
and her many friends will extend
their heartiest congratulations and
wish her a happy married life.
A Horse Deal.
Last week, Jos. Yuill of Morris sold
a driving horse to R. E, McKenzie of
Belgrave for $118. Whatever some
lucky chaps touch increases in value
very rapidly, and when "Bob" had the
animal three days, its value liad in-
creased to $150. As this was an in-
crease of over $10 a day, Robt. Arm-
strong decided ho had better buy the
animal, before the price soared too
high, and accordingly, the transfer
was made, the consideration being
$150. Then something must have
gone wrong, for the last our sporting
editor heard of the deal, the horse had
been turned out on the road, to choose
an owner for itself. Belgrave seems
to be a great horse market.
Committed For Trial.
Roy Cruikshank, a boy about fifteen
years of age, was in trouble again last
week. Ile was accused of entering a
residence on the west side of the
river, and in the absence of the owner
appropriating a gold watch. He had
been seen leaving the delivery rig he
was driving and prowling about the
house. He was tried before Police
Magistrate Morton, who committed
lits for trial at Goderich, Mr,
Taylor, the owner of the watch, had it
returned to him. It is a sad thing to
see a boy so young, choosing the path
of the transgressor. We hope he
niay yet turn round, face the other
way, choose the right path, and make
a good, trustworthy young man.. -
"The way of the transgressor is
hard," and the end is not pleasant to
contemplate,
