ELiLU)T , PUnr.sIEa AND PROPIETOR 'THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1913. NORTH GREY FIGHT. • Mr. Rowell will take part in the North Grey by-election in three meetings at the end of this week. July 10, at Shal- low Lake; July 11, at Owen Sound; and July 12, at Meaford. He will be ac- companied at all three meetings by John McQuaker, the Liberal candidate. Mr. J. 0, Elliott, member of the Legis- lature for West Middlesex, is in the constituency this week, the last one before the election which takes place on the 14th. A large number of other speakers both for the Liberals and Con- servatives are in the Riding. On July 2nd Mr. Wm. Proudfoot, K.C., M.P.P., and Joseph Oliver, Ex -Mayor of Toron- to, addressed a large meeting in Owen Sound. Mr. Proudfoot defied Sir James Whitney and Mr. Hanna to debate with him during the bye -election, the Cabinet scandal. There have been repeated re- ports that Mr. Hanna would meet Mr. Proudfoot on the platform during the campaign, but it is uncertain whether Mr. Hanna means to speak at a joint meeting or at one of his own. Mr. Oliver dealt exclusively with the Tem- perance issue. "Temperance reform- ers," he said, "had always asked for a leader who wovld close the bars." Mr. Rowell's policy was un- mistakable who would close the bars." Mr. Rowell's policy was unmistakable in its meaning. Under it the bar would go. North Grey now has a chance to set a right example by voting for Mr. McQuaker, Mr. Rowell and the Liberal party. TORIES REAL SPONGES. Ever since parliament prorogued, the Tory Press has kept up a steady reiter- ation of the parrot cry that the Lib- erals defeated the Borden Naval Bill and refused to allow Canada to do any- thing but sponge upon Great Britain. A few days ago, the London Free Press said, "The Canadians who are sponging upon the Empire are the Canadians who to -day insist that Canada owes nothing to England. There ancestors would be ashamed of them." In his great speech on the Naval Bill in the Senate, on May 27th, last, Sir George Ross declared—and his state- ment has never been contradicted— "The Naval Bill provides for a contribu- tion of only $35,0000,000. A very gen- erous contribution which we would cheerfully vote if no other consideration were involved. Under the Laurier Nav- al Act of 1910, now in force, any number of millions could be contributed by par- liament if so desired. Why then harass parliament with a bill which is not re- quired for emergency purposes and which is not as effective as the Act of 1910? If the Honorable gentlemen are sincere, let them withdraw the bill now before us and submit to the House a supplementary estimate for ten or fif- teen million dollars for the speedy con- struction of battleships wherever they can be built, and then from year to year ask parliament for such additional sums as may be necessary... if the Government of the day wanted four or five battleships they could build them wherever they pleased under the (Laur- ier) Act of 1910." But Mr. Borden and his party refused to build battle ships under the Laurier Act of 1910. They wanted the money more than the ships. It is Mr. Borden and his followers who insist upon spong- ing on England rather than put into action the effective legislation for Im- perial aid passed by the Laurier Gover- ment. Don't be a Kicker. Ir you ate a kicker and see the shad- ows of failure in everything that is pro- posed to help the town, for heaven's sake go into some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow on the clap bank and give the men who are working to build up the town a chance. One long - faced, hollow-eyed, whining, caping, chronic kicker can do more to keep away business and capital from a town than all the drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined. —Comber Herald. eleS T 4111a1101jFIlhils.

Isaacleaves with a record for gaud and honest ser- vice, and the public will fully under- • stand in return his appreciation of the patronage given him. This paragraph introduces his successor to the same pub- lic. —Lucknow Sentinel. The Ontario Government is to receive $195,733,32 this year as the Province's share of the federal grant of $700,000 for educational purposes. In the bill as passed by the Dominion Parliament $10,000,0e0 is to be handed over to the several provinces for educational pur- poses within the next ten years. Each year the amount apportioned will be in- creased until the total of $10,000,000 is expended. During July, the Canadian govern- ment will be carried on by Hon. Messrs. Perley, Roche, Nantel and Reid. Surely 1 the Hon. Louis Coderre might have spared some time from his busy control of mines in Canada to aid this brilliant bunch of statesmen conduct the coun- try's affairs. Meanwhile the balance of the Cabinet are taking expensive pleasure jaunts over Canada and the rest of the map at the country's expense. The size of the average farm keeps steadily growing. One of the reasons for this is the far greater efficiency of motors in farm work than horses. The rearing, attending and growing of fodder for the horses is all increasingly expensive in these days of high-priced labor. To produce agricultural pro- ducts at the price at which they are be- ing sold it is necessary to reduce manual labor to a lower proportion of the cost than has ever before been achieved.— Coinber Herald. Succession duties received by the Province during the month just closed totalled the immense sum of $170,829.- 46. This is over $100,000 increase on the receipts for the month of June in last year, when the total was $70,461.15. The increase is accounted for by pay- ments on two large estates in York county, that of the late Elmore Harris, which paid $42,397.20, and that of the late J. H. Mason, which paid $27,880.29. For the first half of the present year, to June 30, the receipts totalled $627,- 441.15 as against $585,754.15 for the first half of 1912. At the recent Niagara Military camp only 52 men of Toronto's crack regi- ment, the Royal Grenadiers, turned out for training. The Toronto News, which led the campaign for Mr. Borden's $35, - 000.000 contribution to the British Navy apologizes for this by saying—"The members of the city regiments are nearly all holding good positions, and cannot leave for the week without forfeiting their pay." "Oh ye Tory jingoes." Plenty of money to pay, but not a man to fight. It is evident Tory- ism in the militia is as anxious not to man our Canadian regiments for fight- ing purposes as it is determined not to man or maintain Canadian battleships. They are quite up-to-date in their polities in Hungary. The ministry, of which M. Lukacs was the head, has just lost office as the result of revelations that the party which it represents se- cured eight million dollars from the Hungarian bank in return for certain promised concessions, and with this money bought victory in the general elections of 1910 With a restricted franchise such as exists in Hungary, eight million dollars, doubtless went a long way. M. Lukacs is wasting his time in Hungary. He should cross the Atlantic and find a field for his genius where enterprises of this nature will endear him to the electors in place of earning for him ejection from office.— Winnipeg Free Press. By calling Mr. Meighen to his Gov- ernment the Premier brings to the Ministry a man of ability in making the worse appear the better reason. By the appointment Bob Rogers gains a right hand man in a place of influence to assist him in carrying out schemes such as have come to be expected of him Manitoba obtains undue power in the Administration, while Saskatch- ewan and Alberta are ignored so far as representation in the Government is concerned. Much dissatisfaction will be caused among the other aspirants for office in the Conservative -National- ist coalition, but Mr. Meighen gains his reward for zealous services in helping the Premier gag Parliament. Those are the chief results of the Meighen ap- pointment. —Regina Leader. FALL FAIR DATES. The following are the dates of a num- ber of fall fairs: Mildmay .

Oh, when we take a holiday, a lazy, idle, jolly day, it spoils us for three weeks; we hate to bend our backs again, to get right down to tacks again; we sigh for woods and creeks. All in- dustry goes glimmering; we think of woodlands shimmering away from dust and heat; of robins Mary-Gardening— and labor's beyond pardoning aid idle- ness is sweet. The call of things primordial insistent, loud and clear; the daily grind's too rigorous; a fellow can't be vigorous when summertime is here. A murrain on this laboring! We surely should be neighboring with birds and bumblebees; we surely should be pondering on Nature's works and wandering beneath the spreading trees, But some of us are bustled all, we can- not raise the price; the uncle turns us down again, and so we stay in town a- gain, and put our dreams on ice. We kick at things and kick 'em more; the lordly pine and sycamore in vain for us may fret; the lovely mountain ever- green to our eyes Shall be never green —we'll stay at home and sweat. But when the summer's perishing andidlers some back cherishing their snakebites and their tan, from mountain, lake, and river port, all full of hay and liverwort, Sept. 211-26 well praise the labor plan.

EVANS, Manager. LIVE STOUTS MARKETS Toronto, July 7 —There we re but few livestock in the pens at the Western Cattle Market this morning. Only fifty-seven head of cattle were in the yards, and a corresponding low number of sheep and lambs, calves and hogs. The livestock trade throughout is very quiet at present, chiefly on account of the hot weather, which is causing a considerable decrease in the meat con- sumption. Nevertheless there was a fairly good demand on this morning's market, and the light run was quickly disposed of, though the buying was only in small quantities, while prices remained about steady at last week's quotations. Dunn & Levack sold 201embs at $10.00 15 sheep at from $3.00 to $4.20 and 3 calves at from $5.00 to $8.00. The receipts at the yards were 3 cars containing 57 head of cattle, 36 sheep and lambs, 12 hogs and 3 calves.
