EDITORAL NOTES.
An effort will be made to have Lib-
eral candidates in every one of the 106
ridings in Ontario by this time next
year. The recent Temiskaming tour
of N. W, Rowell and his followers was
followed by an organization meeting,
at which it is understood a plan was
adopted to have a Liberal standard-
bearer in every riding before the next
provincial election takes place.
Succession duties received by the
Provincial Treasurer for the month of
July amounted to $83,452. For the
same month last year the duties am-
ounted to $154,382. So far this year
the succession duties are $200,000 be-
hind last year ended July 31, $621,206
was collected through this department,
while last year's figures amounted to
$847,251 for the same period.
Mr. Bourassa, in a word, is seeking
to realize his ambition of being a pow-
er at Ottawa by veiled threats that un-
less he is recognized and his terms ac-
ceded to, it will be the worse for Brit-
ish connection. In this he is but fol-
lowing the example of the opponents
of reciprocity who in the Dominion
general election campaign last year
made use of representations that un-
less they had their way and the policy
of wider markets was defeated, it
would be worse for British connection.
If we are to have this continual setting
forth, in various ways, of the doctrine
that Canada's natural development is
still in the soft stage, what is the end
going to be? Every self-respecting
Canadian should regard it as the first
duty which he owes his country to do
his part in making the politicians real-
ize that such appeals are an insult to
the intelligence and patriotism of Can-
adians.-Winnipeg Free Press.
WRET MICRON.
Mrs. Coultes who was operated on at
Wingham General Hospital on Monday
is doing nicely.
Miss Edith Peddle who is a patient in
Wingham General Hospital is improving
very rapidly.
Mr. Wm. Coulter, while returning
home from the hospital on Tuesday last
after seeing his wife, who underwent
an operation, met with an accident. His
horse became frightened of a automobile
which was passing and bolted,doing con-
siderable damage to the buggy but air.
Coultes escaped without being injured.
A Woman as Mayor.
Although Wyoming is the oldest equal
suffrage state, no woman has ever been
- chosen mayor within its boundaries
until the election of "Aunt Susan"
Wissler to preside over the fortunes of
a little "cow town" in Wyoming a few
weeks ago, Mrs. Wissler was sleeted
by a majority of the voters of Dayton,
a fact which testified to the ability
which secured the honor for her. She
is a widow and has lived in Wyoming
over 22 years. Dayton is the chief
town in the cattle and sheep raising
district, and is the trading centre for
the ranch, Mrs. Wissler has been in
the dry goods business and for1S years,
has taught school in lonely and isolated
schoolhouses on the sheep and cattle
range. Politically she is a Democrat,
but partisan politics cut little figure in
her election, as she was practically the
choice of all parties. The saloon ques-
tion is dominant in Dayton, and those
who know Mrs. Wissler have little
doubt that she will solve the problem.
She has two grown children, and says
that politics has been a pleasant field of
work for her ever since her home dut-
ies ceased. The club women of Wyom-
ing are elated over her election, and
predict that more Wyoming towns are
going to follow Dayton's example and
elect women mayors.
The Alberta grain crop is oxpceeted
toreacb sixty-five million bushels.
Jas B. Squance, Gr..nd Junior Ward-
en of the Ontario Encampment of Odd -
fellows. was fatally burned in his car-
riage factory at St. Thomas.
This column has been reserved for the
use of the Wingham W. C. T. U.
and will be edited by the members
of that Society.
If we would overcome the evil within
us and without us, we must summon
the best energies of our mental and
moral nature and put them under the
command of Christ; thisis victory here.
The Wingham branch of the W. C.
T. U. held a very successful parlor
meeting in the 0. 0. F. Hall, Tuesday
evening, July 161h, under the auspices
of the Purity Department, when a
large and appreciative audience availed
themselves of the pleasure of meeting
with and hearing an address given by
Mrs. Adjatant Rock, of Montreal, Her
subject was "Purity", and her advice
to young girls to set a high standard
before them and to have high ideals
will not soon be forgotten and cannot
fail to result in much good. She refer-
red to the constant round of pleasure
followed by many of our young people,
of the appalling consequences that so
much street walking at night carries in
its train and of the evils of bad com-
panions. She also gave good advice to
mothers; also to children in obedience
to parents. Mrs. Rock is able to talk
intelligently along those lines, being
engaged in this work in Montreal. A
dialogue by two of the members and a
solo by Mrs. Law, added much to the
profit and pleasure of the evening. Af-
ter partaking of refreshments the
meeting closed with prayer and all felt
that the time spent had been pleasant
and profitable.
The regular monthly meeting of the
W, 0. T. U. will be held in the C. 0. F,
Hall, Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 13,
Meeting to commence at 3 o'clock. All
members are requested to be present.
The Western Fair,
From indications at the present time
it would appear as though this old and
reliable Exhibition would be more
popular than ever this year. The man-
agement are doing everything possible
to make the Exhibition not only at-
tractive to Exhibitors and Visitors, but
satisfactory as well. They wish to
combine education and instruction as
well as amusement along all the differ-
ent phases of the Exhibition proposi-
tion. There will be established on the
grounds this year an up-to-date milking
machine plant in actual operation.
Every farmer in the country should
avail himself of the opportunity of see-
ing this machine. In this day of scarc-
ity of help on the farm this means a
great deal. Come and see the cows
milked by electricity. There will also
be established on the grounds as an ed-
ucational feature a plant showing the
latest sanitary methods of caring for
and ccoling milk. These are only a
few of the many features which will
make the Exhibition very attractive
this year. The amusement part of the
Exhibition has been well looked after.
There will be a splendid programme of
attractions twice daily before the Grand
Stand. The management have secured
at great expense The Besses o' the
Barn Band of Cheltenham, England,
ane of the finest bands in the world
You cannot afford to miss hearing them.
The Midway will he filled with good
cleat shows. Special rates over alI
railroads commencing September 8th.
Low rates for Exhibitors. Write the
Secretary, A. \l. Hunt, London, Ont.,
for all information. The dates are
Sept. 6th to 14th.

A Lawyers' Fee.
A story is told at the expense of a well
known solicitor. A man named Smith
had failed in busines and solei out, and
sold out, and having two or three tough
little bills had given these to the lawyer
to collect. Smith went to the office to
receive the proceeds, which amounted
to only about fifty dollars,
"I am sorry you have been so unfort-
unate, Smith," said the lawyer, "for I
had taken a great interest in you. 1
sha'n't charge you as much as I should
if I did not take an interest in you."
Here he handed Smith fifteen dollars,
and kept the balance.
"You see, Smith, I knew you when
you were a boy, and I knew your father
before you, and I take a good deal of
interest in you. Good morning! Come
and see me again!"
Smith, moving slowly out of the door
and rueftilly contemplating the fifteen
dollars, was heard to . mutter-
" Thank goodness -you didn't know
my grandmother!"
Reclaim The Swamp Land,
For a century our Government has
looked with indifference at the rich
swamp lands of the southeren States,
while England has been furnishing its
money and credit to aid Egypt to re-
claim waste lands in the valley of the
Nile -4,000 miles away. The need of
more acreage under cultivation in the
Mississippi Valley, to provide homes for
thousands of those now huddled in cities
and to produce more food and clothing,
should cause our Government to take a
deep interest in the waste lands of
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and
other southern States, Although the
Government has spent over $100,000,-
000 in putting water on land in the
Northwest at $35 an acre it has not
shown much interest in taking the
water off the swamp lands of the south
at a cost of from $10 to $15 an sere.
These lands, when drained will yield
annually crops worth three times as
much per acre as the average in the
United States. Such land 'when drain-
ed and cleared, would cost about $25 an
acre, and when cultivated its value
would easily be $100 an acre, There
ere 25,000,000 acres of swamp lana in
the southern States of the Mississippi
' Valley, worth to -day about p00,000, -
MO, which when drained, would be
worth at least $2,000,0110,000. -Leslie's.
The best men are not always blowing
their own trumpets. Most of them are
too poor to buy one.
"Oh, ma'am, ma'am. I've swallow -1
ed a safety pin." "So that's where
my safety pins go. is it!"
LIVE STOOK MARKCETS.
Toronto, Aug. 6 -City Cattle Market.
-Receipts were 24 loads, with 260 head
of cattle 350 sheep and lambs, 150 hogs
and 350 calves.
Trade was necessarily of a quiet char-
acter at the City Market to -day, in
view of the very light receipts. Prices
on cattle, however, were good and steady
at yesterday's figures, with, if anything
a slighter firmer tone for the few choice
csttle offering. Selected choice steers
or heifers were quoted firm up to $7.25
but the bulk of cattle were poor to med-
ius, and ranged from $4.85 up to $6.85.
There is a steady market for good to
choice butcher cows at from $4.50 to
$5.25. Common to medium cows, $3.50
to $4. Canners, $2 to $2.50.
There is a fair demand for stockers
of good quality at $4.75 to $5.25.
Good demand for springers and milk-
ers of good quality. Common not want-
ed.

$4.25 to $4.75. Lambs firm at $7.50 to
