EDITORIAL NOTES At a convention of South Bruee Con- servatives last week. Mr. W. D. Cargill was selected as the candidate in the bye election for the Commons. Arthur Meighen, M.P. for Portage la Prairie. the man who stood in the fore- front for the Government when closure was first introduced in the Canadian House of Commons. was sworn in as Solicitor General on Thursday afternoon. The Censervatives of North and East Huron held a very successful meeting in Town Hall, Wingham on Saturday afternoon last. The meeting was well attended. The only change in the of- ficers is that Dudley Holmes was elect- ed Secretary for East Huron in place of C. G. VanStone. Addresses were de- livered by Jas. Bowman, M.P. and A. H. Musgrove, M.P.P. HOT WEATHER SPEAKING. A bye -election in July is no sinecure as the men engaged in the North Grey contest, both Liberals and Conservatives are finding out. Both the work of or- ganization and of speaking is rendered very difliicult in the but weather of July. The flood of talk, however, shows no abatement. Both candidates are speaking every night and are covering the Riding thoroughly. Several Cabin- inet Ministers including Hon. James Duff, and Hon. W. H. Hearst are sup- porting Colin Cameron, the Government nominee and the leading Liberal mem- bers of the Legislature are lined up Mr. McQuaker, Liberal candidate. .A. meeting a little out of the ordinary was that held on Wednesday, July 2nd when Joseph Oliver, Ex -Mayor of Toronto appeared in Owen Sound in Mr. Me- McQuaker's behalf. Controller McCar- thy of Toronto is also going to speak at a meeting in Mr. McQuaker's interests. North Grey contests are always close but the Liberals hope to win by dint not only of hard work but of the splendid record of their party in the House and the Cabinetscandal which seems to be making a deep impression in North Grey. Mr. Proudfoot is to be in the Riding on July 2, 3 and 4, and will tell the people his story at first hand. Mr. Rowell will speak in the Constituency at a couple of meetings during the last week of the campaign. Other Liberal members of the Ontario Legislature are J C. Elliott, J. G. Anderson, Wil- liam McDonald, Sam Clarke and C. M. Bowman. As a Conservative journal we cannot applaud the Borden Government's gift of $15,000,000 to Mackenzie and Mann. There are some men in the Cabinet who do not command public confidence, and their actions are looked upon with sus- picion. The fact of the matter is the Government is throwing away altogether too much money, and the people will not stand for it very long. Mr. Borden would do well if he secured a few new men in whom the public had full confi- dence.— Orangeville Sun, Mr. Henri Bourassi, as might be ex- pected, is thoroughly in accord with Premier Borden in objecting to an ap- peal to the electors as a method of de- ciding the naval question. Nor is it possible to distinguish between the motives which actuate the one and the other. Mr. Borden is averse to a gen- eral election on this issue because he fears defeat; and he does not wish to relinquish office. Mr. Bourassa also believes that an appeal to the people would prove averse to the Government's policy, and for that reason he desires not an election but a plebiscite. A plebiscite against contribution would not mean that the Government would resign—at least Mr. Borden's Govern- ment would not resign—and what Mr. Bourassi is most in dread of is the re- turn to power of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.— Vancouver Sun, LLOYD GEORGE AND HANNA. Quite a controversy has arisen over attempts to compare the Whitney -Hanna scandal with the Lloyd George, Isaacs case in England, In both instances, actions of Cabinet Ministers were under investigation but that is about as far as the analogy goes. It is a case of contrasts rather than of comparisons. Mr. Lloyd George merely invested in Amercian Marconis, a concern not hav- ing business with the Government. His action was indiscreet but not cor- rupt and not criminal. Mr. Hanna took money from a Government con- tractor who at the time had a claim pending against the Government. This is acriminal offence. He also took the settlement of this claim out of the hands of the Courts and gave the de- cision without appeal to one man, L. E. C. Thorne, his confidential adviser, who, without taking evidence, awarded $21,000 of the people's money to the claiment, In England both of the accused Min- isters invited the fullest investigation. They facilitated it even to the extent of handing over their private bank books. In Ontario Hon. W. J. Hanna and Sir James Whitney, for it is they who must take the responsibility, throttle" the iaveetigation, suppressed and struck out evidence and prevented free enquiry. Winn ,.ill say that the cases are parade, i"• J. B. Lambkin, of Montreal and Hali- fax formely of the Intercolonial Rail- way, has been appointed by the Domin- ion Government a commissioner of the white slave traffic in Canada. Eighty-five foxes, valued at 4500,010 were shipped from Prince Albert, N. S. to Charlottetown, P.E.I. A second car is to follow. A WOMAN'S WORK sometimes reduces her strength to the depths of weakness -her devotion to household cares prevents sufficient rtst and recreation.

Scott's Emulsion is devoid of alcohol or any harmful drugs, and overcomes tiredness and nervousness in a marvelous way. MORE TORY DECEPTION. N{i.VOUS TROUBLES ON TR INCREASE They Are One to all in overfished Condition of the 81,od• It is hard for a leopard to change its spots, or for the Tory party "to play the game." In 1896, the Tories publish- ed a bogus issue of "Hansard" in an endeavor to repeat the trick. This is a pamphlet issued by the Conservative organization as a very close imitation of the Hansard Reports of the closure debate. It is headed up "House of Commons Debates" in exact imitation of type used in a regular Hansard, while throughout it follows in style, type, paragraphing, etc., precisely the methods of the Hansard, with the evi- dent idea of deceiving the electors with it as a genuine record of the proceed- ings of the House of Commons on the closure bill. In some respects it is a fair reproduc- tion of Hansard ....it gives a fair report of everything of advantage to the Con- servatives. Otherwise it is totally de- ceptive, in that it suppresses page after page which would prove most damag- ing to the Conservatives, not merely with their opponents, but with ' all lovers of fair play. For instance, this publication gives a speech of Mr. Borden, and then pro- ceeds with a reply by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, exactly as though one succeed- ed the other in Hansard debate. As a matter of fact there was an interlude, which witnessed one of the most dis- graceful and stormy scenes in the his- tory of the Canadain parliament, which occupies no less than seventeen pages of the official Hansard, every line of which is carefully cut out. The portion thus eliminated is that in which at the close of Mr. Borden's speech introducing his gag resolution, Sir Wilfrid Laurier rose to move an am- endment, when, evidently by pre -con- certed arrangement with Mr. Borden, Hon. Mr. Hazen jumped up as soon as he could. .In accordance with the tra- ditional law of the House, Speaker Sproule "recognized" the Opposition leader as entitled to the floor in reply to the leader of the government, but lion. Mr. Hazen stubbornly stuck to the plan. Then Mr. Northrup of East Hastings, and Mr. Blain of Peel, hastily moved under a forgotten and obsolete rule that Sir Wilfrid Laurier be not allowed to speak, but that Hon. Mr. Hazen be given the floor. This unprecedented act of interference with the rights of the minority was greeted. with cries of "Shame" from the Liberal ranks, and, shame -faced silence from the Govern- ment benches. There was a vote upon this question, with a servile govern- ment majority supporting Mr. Borden's unfair methods. This was followed by another most exciting scene when Hon. Mr. Hazen moved "the previous ques- tion" with the sole object of gagging the Opposition, preventing any amend- ment, or fair discussion of the closure regulation. All this carefully let out of the Tory bogus Hansard. It shows that while they are still unashamed in their desire to hood -wink the people, they at letst recognize that by publishing the truth they would make the people ashamed of them. Nervous exhaustion --or neurasthenia, as medical men call it is one the great- est evils of the tresent day,for it is des- troying the life and energy of thonsands of men and women, or worse, driving them to insanity. The causes of this trouble include overwork, mental strain worry, indiscretions, and sometimes it follows la grippe. The signs of this trouble are usually great weakness af- ter any exertion, nervous headaches, trembling hands, shakiness in the legs, irritability of temper, weak digestive power, insomnia. The life of the suff- erer becomes full of miseries. The true treatment for this trouble must consist of a building up process. for the above signs mean that the ex hausted nerves are calling for more nourishment from the blood supply. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills makenew rich blood that feeds the starved complaining nerves, and in this way they have cured thousands of times neurasthenia, neur- algia and other nervous disorders, and have restored strengh and nerve -energy to despairing people. Mrs. Isaac Wil- son, Calabogie, Ont., gives thanks for having been restored to health through the use of this medicine, she says: "When I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was a nervous wreck; I couldn't do my work, could not sleep at night, suffered from nervous headaches and the least noise would completely upset me. Only those who have suffer- ed from nervous trouble can tell what I endured. I doctored for a time, but did not get any benefit. Then I learned of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and sent for a half dozen boxes. By the time I•had used these I was almost well, and a couple more boxes completely restored my health, and I have had no return of the trouble. I can cheerfully recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to those who suffered from any form of nervous trouble." If you are weak, nervous or out of health begin to cure yourself to -day with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get them from any medicine deal- ers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Some Figures in the Veterans' Grant. An Ottawa despatch said: Up to the present time approximately $1,000,000 has been paid out under the provisions of the act of Parliament giving 5. grant of $100 to veterans of the Fenian raid. This means that 10,000 men who were called out at the time of the trouble have reeeiteet their eheek. There are still some 1tytl00 applications before the militia department for consideration. W. C.

EVANS, Manager. ANOTHER NATIONAL BIRTHDAY. Forty-six years ago Canada embarked timidly before the world's notice by a- dopting a Confederation of the four Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia says the Toronto Globe. Years of agitation were necessary, and even then tie union was not accomplished without considerable bitterness, which lasted, in the case of Nova Scotia especially, for many years to come. The move- ment had its inspiration in external as well as internal dangers, notably in anxiety over trade and other difficulties with the United States, which in the early 'sixties was emproiled in its enor- mous civil war. By 1870 Manitoba joined the Confed- eration; in 1871 British Columbia came in, under promise of the construction of a Pacific railway. In 1873 Prince Ed- ward Island threw in her lot also, and in 1903 the Dominion was rounded off by the creation of the two Provinces of Alberta and Sasketchewan, carved from the existing Northwest Territories. The growth of the Dominion's popu- lation for several decades was so slow as to be disappointing and discouraging. The population of a little over three millions at Confederation had grown only to 5,371,315 in 1001. Ten years later, however, it was 7,204,838, and the country had entered upon its great- est period of prosperity and expansion, giving basis to Sir Wilfrid Laurier's declaration that "the twentieth century belongs to Canada". The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the county of Huron was in session on Thursday and Friday. June 26th and 27th in the Wingham Methodist Church. The meetings were well at- tended; large delegations coming from the various unions of the county. The opening exercises were conducted by Mrs. (Rev.) McAlister of Exeter, who gave a talk on the life work of St. Paul and Barnabas. After the reading of the minutes and the roll call the reports of the Treasurer and the corresponding Secretary were read. Reports were then read from the following ten de- partments showing that good work had been done in each of them; Evang- listic, Flower Mission, Franchise, Press and Prison Work, Moral Education and Mothers Meetings, Parlor Meetings, Anti -Narcotics, Temperance in Sunday Schools, Systematic Giving, Law En- forcement, Medal Contest. A Public Meeting was held on Thurs. day evening when Mrs. McAlister and Rev. Mr, Powell of Exeter were the principle speakers. Excellent music was furnished by a union choir and Mrs. R. Beattie, Miss Eva Patterson and Miss Griffin delighted the audience with their splendid solos. Mrs. Young of Goderich gave an illustrated talk on Cigarettes and a paper on the White Slave Traffic was read by Mrs. Fitton of Exeter. After the programme the election of officers for the coming year took place. President, Miss Bently, Blyth, Vice President, Mrs. McGuire, Brussels, Recording Secretary, Miss Allen, God- erich, Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Fitton, Exeter, Treasurer, Mrs Sharp, Exeter. _..••••••. wu rr lECUERu H, Thos. Henderson's store and property is still being improved. Presbyterian Church garden party will be held this (Thursday) evening. Considerable gravel is being put on the roads in various places. The village of Whitechurch needed road improv - merit. Mr. Barsett preached his farewell sermon in the Methodist Church on Sun- day evening. He is a young man of great promise and to some of us it seems a waste of time for a young man with such good natural abilities as a preach- er to spend from four to six years at college. He leaves hear with the beat wishes of all. The hay crop will be short, but the nice showers have made things spring up. Potatoes are growing fast, Corn peas, cats and thistles are stretchin out. Early apples look well, cherries fair. Sony to say some people have put their mangolds in a second time and filling out with turnips. • Hits it Right. [Christian Commonwealth. [ Mr. Borden's offer to come to the assistance of the Empire by building of Dreadnoughts was made on two grounds—first that of emergency and second that of desiring to give expres- sion to imperial loyalty in some pract- ical form. The necessity of such help is a matter on which opinion on party grounds was sure to be divided, tend unless the gift came as a spontaneous and unanimous contribution its value would be much diminished. Evidence has been accumulating ever since Mr. Borden announced his intention of mak- ing the gift that opinion in Canada was by no means unanimous in approving it. In the course of the debates upon it in the Canadian Parliament, the opposition was so strong and presistent that for the first time the regrettable procedure of the closure has had to be introduced. A situation which seems likely to deve- lop into a serious constitutional crisis has now arisen. By a large majority the Senate has rejected the navy bill, and Mr. Borden must either appeal to the country or postpone the matter. All that has happened shows that Mr. Borden assumed far too much when he took it for granted that his naval pro- posals would be generally approved in Canada. The best thing appears to be to drop them, and this is probably what will happen.

The "Amercian Lumberman" has some timely advice on this subject that is as applicable in our town as any- where else. It says that if you want to see your town grow you should remember that you are a part of- it, and that its growth depends as much on your neighbours. Don't get the idea that the future prosperity of a town rests with a few, for it is the business of the many. Above all, don't criticise those who are building up the community and do nothing yourself. They at least have the proper spirit, and just as long as you deny them your support, just that much harder their work will be. Be a booster for your own town and lend your co-operation to those who • had the nerve to start first. It is never too late to begin.' -------,,.----- Joseph Williams was instantly killed by a G. T.
