Et,G1OYT, Puur.rsuna AND PROPtIToa THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1913. EDITORIAL NOTES A special from Ottawa to Le Can- ada at siontteal states that there is a movement on foot among certain Nationalist politicians in the capital to inundate the Province of Quebec with weekly journals, to further the Nation- alist cause in anticipation of a federal election, which is said to be imminent. There is scorching wit in this passage from Laurier's speech on the third reading of the naval bill: "What a triumph for the National- ists! What a triumph for those men whose souls were tortured with the fear that their sons would be disem- bowelled fighting for the flag of the Empire. Methinks that the Govern- ment would best perpetuate Canadian appreciation of its proposals if it named the three battleships—the three empty battleships which are to represent Canada, not on the firing line, but under the protection of the guns of the Gib- ralter Citadel, the Pelletier, the Nantel and the Coderre." (Prolonged laugh- ter and applause.) Hon. I. B. Lucas, who has been ap- pointed Provincial Treasurer,is one of the promising men in the Whitney Govern- ment. Even its most ardent friends can scarcely claim that the Whitney Cabi- net is a body of strong men. Taken as a whole, it is woefully weak. The addition of Mr. Lucas will help, although it will by no means save a Government which has passed its zenith and which is evi- dently doomed to defeat. THe events of the last session, the failure to pass needed legislation like Workman's Com- pensation, and a really adequate Fac- tory Act, the alienating of another mil- lion acres in Northern Ontario, the gen- eral inertia shown by the Government and eepeeiafly the damaging revelations in the Hanna -Whitby charges, all are sign posts on the road to political eclipse for the Whitney Government. To those who give the subject any attention at all, it will be evident that one of the significant features of this year is the activity among the Liberals' of Ontario in forming clubs and organi- zations. The establishment in March of the Liberal Club Federation, which now embraces nearly, 40 clubs in all parts of the Province, with an efficient and well conducted organization, was a historical event, Another happening that makes a new epoch in the inaug- uration of the Women's Liberal Associ- ation in Toronto, with a charter mem- bership of over 300. It has been in ex- istence for only a few weeks, but already the officers, which include Mrs. N. W. Rowell and some of the best known women in Toronto, are receiving inquiries from various points in the Province from Iadies who express a wish to have a Women's Liberal As- sociation in their local centre, and who ask for complete information. It ap- pears certain that the early autumn will see the establishment of a number of other Women's Clubs and the move- ment will inevitably spread rapidly. "We oppose this policy" said Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in the House of Com- mons, on Thursday, "because it does not recognize the duty that we owe to our- selves as a natio•. We oppose this policy because it is not based on prin- ciple, it Is simply makeshift and ex- pedient. We oppose this policy be- cause, as stated by one of their leaders, it does not strike any root, it does not prepare the soil, it leaves no residue. We oppose this policy because this $35,- 1100,000 should be applied to the organ- ization of a Canadian naval service in close co-operation with, and in connect - iota with the Imperial navy, a Canadian service, built manned, equipped in Can- ada. This is the goal to which we are looking, and it is because the present policy ignores all these duties that we say revert to the old policy which we all accepted in 1909, and which should be: accepted in 1913, and which we in Office maintained flying to the winds. It is for this reason that, summarizing the position we have taken, we say we cannot support this policy. But my last word is that we cannot support it, and, I beg to move the six months' hoist." . replay relies Dumas streattk aid illness is easily contracted, int States Em uls ion will *relllptly retrieve tie told find wp6sii+l y.se straesti to presort isck iiesr.. *soli 6 ioviN` veror6Nre; +ti ia•as Many women and growing girls who should have bright eyes, rosy cheeks, strong nerves and elastic step, and a good appetite, are seen to decline in health. Their spirits grow sluggish, the cheeks become pale, temper fitful, and the nerves over -sensitive. They may have inherited a tendency to ill - health. or they may have over-worked, over -studied or worried until the strength of the body was not equal to the demands made upon it. To guard againt a complete break- down in health the blood must be kept pure and rich No other medicine can do this so well as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for they act both on the blood and nerves, restore the appetite and keep every organ toned up. All women cannot reat whenever they should, but this strengthening medicine is within every woman's reach, and will keep them in the enjoyment of good health. And it is especially important that in every stage of woman's life e blood supply is kept pure and . ch, The value of Dr. Williams' Pin ' ills is:well illustrated by the case o' Mrs. David Chambers, Bensfort, 0 ., who says: "Some years ago I s ' ered greatly from impoverished blo.d, I was very pale and thin and had o strength. took a lot of doctor's ediclne without getting any benefit, . d at last decided to try Dr. Willis. s' 'ink Pills, which I had heard highly - 'ommended, It was not long before I egan to feel better, and after taking the Pills for perhaps a couple of months my health was fully restored, and although some years have passed, I have continued strong and healthy, and I think I owe it entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Sometime later my daughter, then about twelve years of age, had been working very hard at school and her health gave way. She was weak and listless and her hands were badly swol- len and we feared dropsy was setting in. However, we started to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any suffer- ing as we we did, knowing the benefit our family received from them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams' MedicineCo., Brockville, Ont. W. C. T. U. COLUMN. 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. The W. C. T. U. held its regular monthly meeting in the C. 0. F. Hall on Tuesday, May 3rd. Mrs. (Rev.) Collins 1st Vice -President, presided. After the opening exercises of prayer and praise, Mrs. Collins gave a very interesting and instructive Bible reading. The usual routine of business was then proceeded with. The Superintendent of Sailors and Lumbermen's work reported having sent two comfort bags to the sailors. The treasurer reported sending $5 to the Francis Willard Home, Toronto, $5 to the Dominion Alliance and $15.90 for Council fees. At the close of the busi ness proceedings a farewell was tender- ed to the retiring president, Mrs. Alex. Ross. The following address was read by the Secretary: Wingham, May 13, 1913. To Mrs. Ross: Our Dear President:—Knowing that ou are soon to leave our midst and that the relations we have sustained to each other will soon be sundered, we, the members of the Wingham Branch of the W. C. T. U. wish to convey to you an expression of our feelings, although we realize that in any such expression words must fail. Our relations have been more than that of a leader to a body of workers; You have been our first and only president and under your wise direction our union has grown from infancy to a strong. working force for the overthrow of evil and the improve- ment of the social and moral conditions of our town. To you is largely due the success of our union; your untiring eff- ort, your faithfulness to duty and never failing sympathetic interest in all the departments of its work have contribut- ed largely to the successful prosecution of that work and have been an encour- agement and an inspiration to others to do likewise. We cannot realize what it will be tg meet here without your presence and leadership, the thought brings sadness to us, yet we feel that in no better way can we show our appreciation of your efforts than in more earnestly endeav- oring to further the interest of our work. As a slight token of the strength of our friendship and the depth of our love we ask you to accept this little gift, and may it be to you from time to time that in making new friends you do not lose the old ones, and may the influence you may exert in your new sphere of life and labour be but more widely ex- tended but we think it can scarcely be better. In the materia! things of life we wish you much prosperity in days to come as in the past; in your immediate DGurney and in all the journey of life a ivine guidance and direction. an enrich- ment of all life's relationships and a mingling joy in all its experiences. Signed on behalf of the Union MRs. COLLINS. MRS. ELLIOTT. Mrs. Morton then presented Mrs. Ross with a Fountain Pen. Mrs. Ross made a suitable reply after which re- freshments were served ands social half hoar was spent. The meeting then closed with prayer, An eleven -year-old boy, jack Bawling, just out with his family from England, was struck and instantly killed by a piece of iron falling off apassing engine near li'ord City.

LIVE STOOK 3[4RKET8 Toronto, May 19—A big improvement was shown in the trading at the Wes- tern Cattle Market this morning and while the receipts were a little higher than usual, there was a much bigger demand than the hundred and seventy odd head of cattle. at the yards could satisfy. There was a brisk and active trade in cattle from the opening of the mark9,t and the the offering was sold out early in the morning. Prices ruled strong throughout, choice butchers weighing around 1,000 lbs., selling at about $6.85 and $6.90,. while good butchers weighing around 850 to 900 lbs., were selling for $6.40. Good cows weighing 1,150 lbs. were selling at $5.75 per cwt. Receipts of sheep and lambs were light. Sheep sold atfrom $5.00 to $6.50 per cwt., while spring lambs ranged around $5.00 to $7.00 a piece. Over a hundred calves were selling in the market at prices ranging from $5.00 per cwt. for common grades up to $9.00 for good veils. About a hundred hogs were also on the market and these sold firm at last week's prices. r Export .. ,,,,.,. $ 6 85 $ 7 2v Butcher cattle choice ... 6 26 6 85 do medium........ .. . 5 75 6 25 Butchbr cows choice .. . 5 50 6 00 do medium.... .. 425 4 75 do common........ .. 2 50 3 00 do bulls .. , .... ... 4 50 5 25 Feeders . . 5 50 6 15 Stockers .... 5 25 5 75 do medium ... ...... . 3 00 3 60 do light ... ... 2 75 3 25 Canners and cutters . 2 75 3 50 Milkers, Choice,......... 50 00 75 00 Springers . ... 50 00 85 00 Common and medium..... 40 00 50 00 Lambs.. . .. 9 op 9 50 Light ewes ..... ........ 5 50 7 25 do bucks... .. 3110 5 00 Hogs fed and watered . 9 90 do f.o.b .. ...,. .... 9 60 € alves ... 4 50 9 00 WIMILIA1,1l4[ARKET titsPtllVA4.
