THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913. NORTH GREY ELECTION. The people of North Grey have spoken, and in speai.ing have made it clear that with a considerable number of temper- ance advocates party afliiations are strongu' than their avowed principles. By a majority of 278 North Grey on Monday elected Colin S. Cameron to represent it in Legislature and to stand behind Sir James Whitney and Hon. Mr. Hanna. It was the vote in the town of Owen Sound that defeated Mr. John McQuaker, the Liberal candidate, as the town gave Mr. Cameron a majority of 290, while in the rural parts Mr. McQuaker had a majority of 12. "The editorial in The Toronto Globe on Monday morning describes the situ- ation exactly," said Mr. McQuaker when the results became known. "I cannot help feeling that it was the vote in the town that swung the election. The supporters of the liquor interests rallied to the fight and the temperance Conservatives stood with them." It is felt that in Owen Sound itself the number of temperance advocates who voted Conservative was much more than sufficient to account for the major- ity, while throughout the whole riding the number would be fully double Mr. Cameron's majority. LEFT CLEAN RECORD. Since the Borden government came to power, it has devoted its main energies to three things: The dismissal of Civil Servants to make room for partisan ap- pointees, the probing of all the acts of the Laurier government by a series of commissions in order to try and fasten some scandal to Laurier's name, and the expenditure of vast sums of money to make itself solid in the constituen- cies. For nearly two years, every act of the Laurier government during its fifteen years of office has been scrutin- ized with malignant care. With full command of the records of every de- partment, with a body of high salaried partisans to twist and turn every pos- sible circumstance into evidence against the late government, theyhaveignomi- nously failed. The recce d of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his government stands to- day as clear and worthy of Canada as it did on the day they laid down the reins of office. During these same two years the re- cord of the Conservative government has been a series of disgraces to Cana- da, with such deals as the $375,000 "Homestead" given to political friend for $10, the Riding Mountain Reserve attempt, which was only prevented by the vigilance of the Liberals, the Mac- donald election scandal, the sale of the Prescott Starch Works to the go vern- ment, the more than suspicion that the armament trust was pumping "patriot - Canadian .

In Canada we have sometimes smiled at the tremendous amount of flag wav- ing and patriotic speech making which our United States cousins seem to think necessary, and we have chosen rather to follow the English precedent and say less about our flag and our country. But England is not face to face with our peculiar problems. Her citizens are born with British traditions of h thousand years as I art of their native inheritance, while hundreds of thous- ands of our citizens are British neither by birth, tradition nor language, know nothing of our history, but little of our spirit, and must begin with the very A B 0 of citizenship. To them Cana- dian nationality is an unknown world into which it is our business to intro- duce them. They are not hostile nor indifferent but simply ignorant. One thing is certain, we must somehow enkindle in these people a devotion to Canada which shall make them true and enthusiastic citizens. We must do more than we are at present doing to cultivate a national spirit among our new citizens.—Christian Guardian. Advertisements published by the Do- minion Government in newspapers in Great Britain, designed to promote immigration to this country, states under the heading. "The Argument for Canada," that this country "stands for peace," and that "the only conquest the Canadian people are ambitious to make is the conquest of the vast re- sources of their own country." This is a true statement, well expressed, and admirably conceived to serve the pur- pose intended.—Winnipeg Free Press. WHY I BUY AT HOME. I buy at home— Because my interests are here. Because the communtiy which is good enough for me to live in is good enough for me to buy in. Because I believe in transacting busi- ness with my friends. Because I want to see the goods I am buying. Because I want to get what I buy when I pay for it. Because my home dealer "carries" me when I run short of cash. Because some part of every dollar. I spend at home stays at home and helps work for the welfare of the town and country. Because the home man I buy from stands back of the goods thus always giving value received. Because I self what I produce to my home people be it labour or goods. Because the man I buy from pays his share of tie town and county taxes. Because the man 1 buyfrom•helps the poor and needy, our schools our churches our lodges and our homes. BE PATIENT. We all must have our evil days—that is the earthly plan; and when you're treading rocky ways, be patient as you can. For if, in brooding o'er your ills, you spend the dragging time, and if you count the weary hills you know you yet must climb, you're pretty sure to overlook the good things on your way; the bank of flowers, the singing brook, the meadow sweet with hay. You hear the ravens croak and squak, as you pursue the trail; but if you listen, as you walk, you'll hear the nightingale. The brambles have your garments torn, and multiplied your woes; but if you look, near every thorn you'll doubtless find a rose. The clouds are banking in the west, you see the lightning's gleam; but there's an inn where pilgrims rest beside the fire find dream. "The night is closing cold and damp, and I am lost," you moan; but in some window there's a lamp that burns for you alone. And if we're wise we all can sense the joy beyond the care; there always is a recompense for every grief we bear. So when a rough and dreary road and frowning sky we scan, let's stand up straight beneath our load—be patient as we cant WALT. MASON. A Hint for Wingham People. When a newspaper gives you a lot of free advertising in order to boom some concert or church entertainment which you are interested in, keep track of the number of lines that are printed week by week, and multiply that number by the regular advertising rates of the paper. Comnate the results with the actual money value of any favor that you can get from any other business concern tben take intoconsideration the fact that advertising and circulation are the only two things that a newspaper I has to sell, and in these days of higher priees, how much do you think they ought to give away for nothing? -'--Ex ENTRANCE RESULTS.

A newspaper does not deserve to be looked upon as a child of charity. It earns twice every dollar it receives, and it is second to no enterprise in con- tributing to the up -building of the com- munity. Its patrons reap far more benefits from its pages than its publisn- era, and in calling for the support of the community in which it is published, it asks for no more than in all fairness belongs to it, though it receives less.

WINGHAM BRANCH : N. EVANS, Manager. DEAD Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said: "My trade of late is getting bad; I'll try another eight -inch ad." If such there be, go mark him well For him no bank account shall swell, No angels watch the golden stair To welcome home the millionaire. The man who never asks for trade By local line or ad. displayed, Cares more for rest than worldly gain And patronage but gives him pain. Tread lightly, friends ; let no rude sound Disturb his solitude profound; Here let him live in calm repose Unsought except by men he owes, And when he dies, go, plant hi.n deep, That naught may break his dreamless sleep — Where no rude clamor may dispel The quiet that he loved so well. And when the world may know its loss Place on his grave a wreath of moss, And on the stole above, "Here lies A chump who wouldn't advertise." —Anonymous. FALL FAIR DATES.
