ELLIOTT, Ptn3wsaaa AND PROPIHTOR. THURSDAY APRIL 4. 1912. EDITORAL NOTES. Mr. H. Eilber, M. P. P., for South Huron, has presented to the Legislative Library, his collection of scrap books containing the reports of the debates of the Legislature for the years 1898-1911, thirty-one volumes in all. The Library's collection of the debates was destroyed in the fire. The Postmaster -General, Hon. L. P. Pelletier, promises that at next session the claims of rural postmasters for in- ereased salaries "will receive consider- ation in some tangible form." The present mimium salary to postmasters is $35. This will probably be raised next session to $50. Hon. T. W. Crothers, Minister of Lab- or, pays tribute to Hon. MacKenzie King a little late in the day. He says Mr. King did his best to restore the Grand Trunk strikers to their positions. "I have done the same," he says, "but without success." The admission is an important one. -Hamilton Times. Following his announcement on Mon- day of last week that legislation will be brought down providing for remunerat- ion to Hon Adam Beck, Chairman of the Hydro -electric Commission, Sir James Whitney moved the first reading of a bill on Thursday to give Mr. Beck a salary of $6,000 per annum hereafter. The trials and tribulations of a mem- ber of Parliament were recently out- lined by Dr. Chabot, M. P. one of the representatives of Ottawa in the Dom- inion Parliament in an address which he delivereed. Touching on political affairs he said: To succeed in political life, however, eloquence was not the only essential. They must be able to with- stand being hounded by newspapers, brow -beaten and insulted by opponents, button -holed on street corners by posit- ion seekers and generally made to lead the life of a dog to be a success. The first session of Canada's twelfth parliament, and the first under the Borden Administration, came to a close Monday afternoon, when H. R. H. the Scott's Emulsion keeps children healthful and happy. Give them a few drops of this strengthening food - medicine every day and watch them grow.

He was dressed in the uniform of a field mar- shal, and was accompanied by Col. Lowther, military secretary. The royal coach was received at the en- trance to the Commons by a guard of honor from the G. G. F. G In view of the opinion of some that Mr. N. W. Rowell, the leader of the Liberal Opposition in Ontario, ought to have included the abolition of both shop and club licenses in his temperance pol- icy, it may be interesting to know how many licenses there are in this Province. Approximately Ontario to -day has 211 licensed shops 53 licensed clubs and 31 licensed wholesalers. In comparison the number of tavern licenses or bars will it is estimated, on May 1, 1912, number 1,1300. In 1910-11 there were 226 shops and 54 clubs. The official report for 1909-10 gave 243 shops and 50 clubs. There have been a rednetionin the for- mer and a slight increase on the latter since then. With the exception of two districts in which Socialists were successful, the McBride Conservative Government made a clean sweep in the British Col- umbia provincial election on Thursday, winning 40 of the 42 seats in Parlia- ment. The Liberal party, which had only one representative in the last Leg- islature, failed to elect. H. C. Brew- ster, leader of the Opposition, lost to Premier Richard McBride in Victoria by 1,200 votes. With the defeat of Brewster, the Opposition for the first time falls into the hands of the Social- ists. All the Government ministers were returned by favorable majorities. There can be no doubt as to the exis- tence of a widespread demand for such legislation, but whether or not it is a matter whioh any particular political party should espouse is one to be con- sidered. Past experience does not warrant the assumption that the voters are always guided by moral considera- tions when party politics are involved -and alleged temperance men are not exceptional in this regard. Sone Lib- erals who value the principle of per- sonal liberty may resent the invasion of that principle the proposed measure involves, but this can be said in its favor, that it does not invade the home -a man will still have control of his own table. That Mr. Rowell is actuat- ed by the highest of motives in father- ing this measure we are fully convinced, and we have the utmost confidence in his intention to carry it out to the let- ter. But this is not the only issue the people have to contend with, and be- fore concentrating the Liberal party's efforts largely in this one channel we hope that room has been left and work provided for the many good men and true who may be in accord with the general principles of the Liberal party without being wedded to this one phase. -Stratford Beacon.

TILE WINGHAM TIMES, APRIL 4, 1912 CHURCH NOTES Fifty out of seveny Presbyterian Beards have voted, and these show a cote for of 114,123 for, and 50,308 against. There will be extra services in St. Paul's Church with appropriate music on Easter day. The Holy Communion will be held at 7.30, 9, and 11 A. M. A service for children will be held at 2.45. Baptism at 4 and service at 7 P. M. Rev. Dr. 14. L. Barber, of Listowel preached two able sermons in the Meth- odist Church on Sunday last in connect- ion with the anniversary of the Educat- ional Society. Rev. Dr. Rutlege took Dr. Barber's work at Listowel. The pastors of the Methodist, Pres- byterian and Baptist Churches arrang- ed for a series of week -night services for this week. The service on Tuesday evening was held in the Baptist Church; Wednesday evening in the Presbyteri- an Church; this (Thursday) evening in the Methodist Church and in the Pres- byterian Church on Friday evening. The public is cordially invited to attend these services. Next Sunday being Easter there will be a special musical program at both services in the Methodist Church. At the morning service the special num- bers will be: -Solo by A. H. Wilford; Anthem, "The Lord of Life is Risen"; Solo, Mrs. W. H. Willis.

Hill; Anthem, "Christ, the Lord, is Risen To -day," Miss Farquhar- son, soloist; chorus, "Resurection"; Solo, Miss Estelle Griffin; Anthem, "The Lord is risen again." The special anniversary services held in the Baptist Church on Sunday last were well attended. Rev. A. L. Mc- Crimmon, M. A., L. L. D., Chancellor of McMaster University, of Toronto, preached at both morning and evening services. The evening sermon was an excellent one. Dr. McCrimmon is a very fluent and forceful speaker and always has his facts well in hand and presents them in a very pleasing man- ner. Those who heard his sermons on Sunday were certainly delighted and will be pleased to again see him return to Wingham. The choir rendered ex- cellent music and the anniversary ser- vices were successful in every way. Tightwad Town. In Tightwad Town they're chasing dollars, and when they catch a silver bone, they pinch the eagle till it hollers so loud 'twould rend a heart of stone. In Tightwad Town they all have axes for any scheme to make things move; "It would," they say "increase our taxes if we the village should improve." In Tightwad Town there is no know- ledge of books or authors, art or song; they starve the church and bust the college, and boost the mortgage works along. In Tightwad Town man's esti- mated according to the wealth he owns; he's most revered and elevated who has the tallest stack of bones. In Tight- wad Town they're only civil to strangers who have brought their wads; in Tightwad Town the soul will shrivel pursuing milled and minted gods. In Tightwad Town there's little laugh- ter, there is no warmth in hand or heart; men seldom smile who follow after the idols of the money mart. With streets unpaved and sidewalks broken, and houses old and tumble- down, the word of hope is seldom spok- en in Tightwad Town, in Tightwad Town! -Walt Mason. The City Alliance decided to start a local option campaign in Toronto. Five hundred and forty-eight out of a total of 2,000 Methodist Quarterly Boards have passed upon Church union. Twenty-five voted against, and the ma- jority is seven to one in favor of union. On the occasion of Dr. Rutherford's retirement from the office of Veterin- ary -General and Live Stock Commis- sioner, he was presented with an ad- dress and purse containing $1,200 in gold, the presentation being made by the branch of the Department of Agriculture over which Dr. Ruther- ford presided for ten years.

Where fruits and flowers always grew And south side winds warmed a cor- al strand; But soon a letter came along -- He had not been away ayear- And this the burden of Smith's song: "You have to earn your living here." Again Smith moved, and he was most Enthusiastic o'er the view; 'Twas where, to quote the agent's boast The easy money bushes grew: But back a postcard winged it's flight To those at home who held Smith dear; And this was all he cared to write: "You have to earn your living here." Poor Smith! in vin his restless feet Shall fare beneath the rainbow arch; In vain through lands, of cold and heat For there has always been one sign To greet man's vision, dull or clear - E'en in Utopia it shall shine: "You have to earn your living here." Your Summer Vacation. "The Seashore", a forty-eight page booklet with a striking cover and more than 100 illustrations has just appeared describing the New London District of Connecticut on the line of the Central Vermont Railway which promises to be an even more popular resort for Canadians in general and Montrealers in particular than was Old Orchard in its palmiest days. Anyone who is wor- ried over the annual "summer vacation problem" will find interest if not in- spiration in the contents. Just how varied are the resources of this new territory can be realized from the statement that they include deep sea fishing and bathing at New London; river boating on the Thames; salt wat- er bathing and sand for the youngsters at Ocean Beach, Watch Hill and Block Island; as well as golf and tennis at Fisher's Island. New London is the scene every year of the Harvard -Yale boat race which cosresponds in Ameri- ca to the historic contests between Ox- ford and Cambridge Universities on the Older Thames of the British Isles, and this sporting event attracts Large crowds of college men and "summer girls" to the sturdy sea port town.

NEW STRENGTH IN THE SPRING N tare Needs Aid in Making New Health -Giving Blood. In the spring the system needs a tonic. To be healthy you must have I new blood just as the trees must have new sap to renew their vitality. Nat- ure demands it, and without this new blood you will feel weak and languid. You may have twinges of rheumatism or the sharp, stabbing pains of neural- gia, Often there are disfiguring pim- ples or eruptions on the skin. In other cases there is merely a feeling of tired- ness and a variable appetite. Any of these are signs that the blood is out of order - that the indoor life of winter ' has lessened your vitality. What you need in spring is a tonic medicine to put you right, and in all the world of medicine there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills actually make new, rich, red blood - your greatest need in sp ing. This new blood drives out the eeds of dis- ease and makes easily t red men, wo- men and children bright, active and strong. Mrs. Mut:ay' arshall, Zephyr, Ont., says: "I dll•Ifot believe I would ever have been well and strong again but for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was so weak and nervous that I could not be left in the house alone. I would take weak spells with my heart and think I was going to die. I tried doc- tors and electric belts, but they did me no good. Then a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To my surprise I soon noticed my appetite im- proving, and from that on I improved rapidly until I was enjoying the best of health, and 1 have not been troubled with weakness or nervousness since." These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or can be had by mail at 50. cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Pellets of Wisdom. The lucky number is to, according to Saint Hymen. The dyspeptics snarl, "The woman tempted me, and I did eat." The road to power is paved with good inventions. Ah indiscreet answer is hard to live down. In convese it is better to glow than to glitter. Prejudices are nails hammered into the mind by environment. Genius achieves in silence, Talent gaily admits the crowd. The courtesies are never so beautiful- ly practised at home. Suggested nakedness is more outrag- eous than frank exposure. -MINNA THOMAS ANTRIM in April Lippincott's There will be no protest against the election of Hon. G. P. Graham in South Renfrew, the time for filing petitions having expired. The prices of all grades of sugar have been further reduced ten cents per hun- dred pounds in Ontario and Winnipeg. Owners of textile factories in the Philadelphia district will voluntarily increase wages by 5 per cent., and this, it is said, will affect 100,000 workers. Altogether, some 175,000 workers in New England will, it is estimated, pro- fit by vtage increases. LIVE STOUR MARKETS. Toronto, April 2 -With the very light run of cattle offering trade was moderately active at good steady pric- es. A few extra choice butcher sold around the 87 mark, but there were not Irlany of these, practically all of the choice Easter cattle having been al- ready marketed. The demand for a class of medium choice butcher cattle is steady and like- ly to keep so throughout the season. Too many of the rougher qualities soon tend to become a drag on the market. There is a fair demand for good stocker cattle, but so for there are comparitively few offering. Sheep and lambs hold very firm; choice qualities scarce.
