OPPOSITION TOO STRONG.
Hon. Mr. Ilaaen, Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, a few days ago at a Van-
couver banquet exactly outlined the
Tory ideal of popular government when
he declared --"We are masters of the
situation, and we intend to hold that
position." Of course by the "situation",
Mr. Hazen meant Canada.
Despite his boast that the Borden
government is master of the country
the records of parliament do not alto-
gether bear out this idea. The Liberals
in the House of Commons forced the
unwilling governm.ant to adopt the
principle of dividing the money for Ag-
ricultural Aid amongst the provinces
according to population; The Liberals
in the Senate prevented the passage of
the Highways Aid Bill because the gov-
ernment insisted upon refusing to adopt
this same principle, so that they could
use Highways money for political ad-
vantage; The Liberal Senators prevent-
ed Mr. Borden from sending V5,000,-
000 of naval tribute to England, instead
of carrying out the Canadian naval
policy, unless he secured a mandate
from the people. The Liberals in par-
liament ventilated such scandals as the
Prince Albert Homestead Deal, the
Macdonold by-election iniquity, the
Coderre impersonation charges, the
efforts of the Tory government to cor-
rupt the Richelieu electors with pro-
mises of a railway, despite the efforts
of the Government to hide the records,
and many other similar affairs.
Mr. Borden and his government are
not masters of the country and never
will be. The Opposition is an integrel
part of the parliamentary syste.n and
the present Liberal Opposition is alto-
gether too strong for the government
to dare attempt to carry its Tory ideas
too far.
A Well Kept Refuge.
The Goderieh Star of last week says:
"On Tuesday last Provincial Officer
George Phippen, of Wingham, made a
call at the County House of Refuge in
Clinton, and tells The Star that he no-
ticed some extensive improvements
which had taken place in the last few
months. There has been an addition
put to the new barn, 26 by 35 feet,
which will be used for taking care of
the great onion crop, about three acres
of which is now being gathered in. and
which will mean about $1,400 value.
This now makes the whole construction
of the barn about 70feet. Also another
improvement he noticed was a new
cement sidewalk constructed around
the Large building where the inmates
are kept, which cost about $50 owing to
the economical way in which Mr. Mutch
managed the work If it had been let
by contract it would have cost over
$200. The number of inmates at the
present time is exactly 100. Everything

able management of Mr, and Mrs.
Mutch. Officer Phippen made the state-
ment that there was no House of
Refuge in the Dominion of Canada so
ably, sensibly and economically manag-
ed as the one at Clinton. As Mr.
Phippen was shown through the House
he came upon many of the inmates who f
were close upon the century mark.
Several were quite helpless, while one
old lady had all her faculties alert.
EDITORIAL NOTES
Canada for the Canadians! No truck
with the Yankees! The Borden Gov-
ernment is erecting a new Customs
building in the Dominion capital. It
has permitted the contractor to import
nearly thirty men from the United
States to undertake the foundation con-
struction. The Hon. Mr. Crothers,
Minister of Labor, defends the impor-
tation on the alleged ground that "Car.-
adians lack experience." What a de-
cadent country we are becoming under
Tory rule. Only a few months ago
Premier Borden declared that Cana-
dians couIc1 not build warships for fifty
years to come, and now Mr. Borden's
Minister of Labor permits the impor-
tation of Yankee workmen, because he
says that "Canadians lack experience"
for laying the foundations of a public
building in the Dominion capital. -
Moncton Transcript.
The Grain Growers' Guide says that
"Any two deals put through by a poli-
tical party are together less than one
square deal." This aphorism evidently
refers to the $375,000 Prince Albert
"homestead" deal put through by Hon
Mr. Rogers and the $95,000 profit Dor-
val military site deal put through by
Col. Hon. Sam Hughes.
Hon. Geo. E. Foster returued on
August 20th from his tour as the Com-
mercial traveller of the Dominion. He
started this trip on February 19th,
when he left for Australia. During
his journey he has visited New Zealand,
Australia, China, Japan and has stopped
off at various other places. Mr. Fos-
ter's six months journeying cannot he
said to have resulted in much benefit to
Canada. It has not widened our mar-
kets one inch. Mr. Foster has brought
back no orders. The only apparent
result of his long and expensive journey
is a "prospect" from Australia. Pos-
sibly at some future time the Aus-
tralians may agree to a mutual prefer-
ence with Canada. As the Dominion's
commercial traveller Hon. Geo. E.
Foster can hardly be called a success.
Undoubtedly, however, like Hon. Mr.
Crothers, he has enjoyed a magnificent
trip with a big expense account for the
Dominion to pay.
A Toronto piece of property has been
sold for $300,000. It brought $18,600
twenty-nine years ago. The $281,400
difference was brought about by the
people who open up streets and build
homes, spending money to make im-
provement. This the owner of the
property referred to gets and justice
suggests that the adjoining owners, in-
deed the whole city, should get a part
of it, but Sir James Whitney says there
shall not be any opportunity for them
to obtain it by reforming the method of
taxation. Mr. Rowell says there should
be such an opportunity. This is an in-
stance of the difference in the progres-
siveness of the leaders of the two poli-
tical parties in Ontarios.-Stratford
Beacon.
That the Liberal party after a temp-
orary reverse can "come back" has
been proved conclusively by the candi-
dature of Albert Chamberlain for the
Legislature in East York. There never
was a more enthusiastic convention
than that held by the Liberals in Mark-
ham last Saturday and the whole tone
of the meeting was aggressiveness and
optimism. The Conservatives, quite
wishout reason, have sometimes labelled
the Liberal party as insincere. Their
refutation is now complete. In spite of
a Iarge majority against them in this
Constituency in 1911, here are the Lib-
erals again fighting more strongly than
ever for the policies on which the party
stands -Abolish the Bar, Tax Reform,
Workmen's Compensation, advances in
Agriculture and other issues. Mr.
Chamberlain is an outspoken and life-
long advocate of temperance reform
and is an ardent and enthusiastic sup-
porter of Mr. Rowell and the whole
program of the Liberal party.
It is announced that the first effect
of the amendment passed last session
to the Judges Act will be the retirement
on full pay of ten County Court judges.
At the same time Tory organs ingenu-
ously announce "The number of aspir-
ants is fully equal to the number of
vacancies." This will be cheering news
to the disappointed candidates for the
• Solicitor -Generalship, and other party
friends who expect to benefit by Premier
Borden's complete adoption of the party
spoils eysteni.

GODERICH.
0. E. Fleming, apromimentbarrister
of Windsor, and other financial men of
that city have purchased from the Tor-
onto General Trusts Corporation Ridge-
wood Park, the vast estate of the late
A. Y. Attrill. The estate, comprising
an area of six hundred acres. of farm
and park property, has a most desirable
location overlooking Lake Huron and
the River Maitland, For the past two
years the property has been utilized by
the Government as a training ground
for the western Ontario regiments, and
would have been secured as a perma-
nent camp but for a hitch with the
Trust Company as to terms.
It is understood that Mr. Fleming's
company wilt ren;ove considerable of
the south bank, which' overhangs the
river, and contains valuable gravel for
building purposes, which is to be trans-
ported to Detroit and other cities.
There is much speculation as to what
disposition may be made of the park and
farm property, but it is generally con-
ceded that the Governmentr)611 secure
this with other extensive trilcts adjoin-
ing, the whole to be used as a training
area for the Ontario regiments.
HOU8SEL4,
Electric light rates will advance in
Brussels on and after September 1st.
So little can be made during the Sum-
mer season where the metre is used
the proprieter is compelled to raise
from 10 to 12 cents per kilowatt. Mr.
Patterson says the old rate is consider-
ably lower than the average charge in
other places.
The sad news was received here of
the death of Mrs. Carey Evans, of Ed-
monton, on Sunday, 10th inst., leaving
a baby boy 2 months old. Deceased
was better known in Brussels as Miss
Ida Williams, only daughter of Rich-
ard Williams, a former well known
resident of this place, Deceased was
married two years ago and had recently
moved into a fine new home at Ed,
tnonton. She was 27 years of age and
was beloved by a wide circle of friends
who greatly regret her early demise
, 0. G. Publow, dairy inspector for
eastern Ontario, states that the de-
cline cheese pteluctiolt M Ontario,
Owing to dry weather wilt amount in
Valve to $2,210,600.

HMI ItVALE
A temperance worker feels greatly
humiliated to think that the temper-
ance people of Bluevale will allow such
actions as have been taken by some of
our young men of this village in the
breaking of the Local Option By -Law
that was carried in this place, without
taking proceedings against them.
Monday of last week a few young men
journeyed to Wingham and procured
returned to our Local Option village in
such liquor that intoxicated them; they
this condition which is both degrading
and disgraceful not only to themselves
but also to the temperance people who
have worked for its abolishmeht. Such
violators of the law ought, I think, to
be punished and not only would it be a
lesson to these young then but also to
others who would try the same thing.
If it occurs again I for one will be
ready to take fiction against the offen-
ders. I sound this note as a warning.
GKftY.
Hugh Lamont, jr., is getting along
fairly well since his fall. One of his
legs has bothered him considerable in
addition to his broken *rist but we
hope he will soon be o. k.
Mrs. R. W. Burns, of Paisley, and
Dr. and Mrs. Jackson and two sons, of
North Battleford, Sask., are welcome
visitors at John Jackson's, 5th concess-
ion The former is a daughter and
Dr. Jackson is a son.
Mr. McCowan, M.P.P. for East York,
a cousin of Robt. Davidson, 11th} Con. ,
has been appointed Sheriff of York
County, having resigned his seat in the
Legislature.
Marion Smith, 5th con.. made a rather
unususual discovery a few days ago.
She was picking berries and hearing
a humming noice near her she looked
about and found the nest of a wren.
It contained two eggs which Miss Smith
judged would be about half the size of
robins' eggs. She purposed watching
the nest until the young appeared but
on going to the nest a day later the
eggs had disappeared. Evidently moth-
er wren had grown suspicious as to her
intentions.
The Business Man
It is surprising how even a neatly
and attactively printed letterhead will
tend to influence business. Did you
ever realize that your letterhead could
be made a material advertizing medium?
It certainly can. That's why large
business houses insist on getting the
best. A good letter head lends tone
and often gets business. The days of
the rubber stamp are over. Why? Be-
cause stamped letterheads and envel-
opes never look neat or attractive and
are a sign of retrogationsrather than
progess. We turn out neat, tasty and
attractive letterheads and envelopes.
Give us a trial order. We can please
you,

GODERICH.
0. E. Fleming, apromimentbarrister
of Windsor, and other financial men of
that city have purchased from the Tor-
onto General Trusts Corporation Ridge-
wood Park, the vast estate of the late
A. Y. Attrill. The estate, comprising
an area of six hundred acres. of farm
and park property, has a most desirable
location overlooking Lake Huron and
the River Maitland, For the past two
years the property has been utilized by
the Government as a training ground
for the western Ontario regiments, and
would have been secured as a perma-
nent camp but for a hitch with the
Trust Company as to terms.
It is understood that Mr. Fleming's
company wilt ren;ove considerable of
the south bank, which' overhangs the
river, and contains valuable gravel for
building purposes, which is to be trans-
ported to Detroit and other cities.
There is much speculation as to what
disposition may be made of the park and
farm property, but it is generally con-
ceded that the Governmentr)611 secure
this with other extensive trilcts adjoin-
ing, the whole to be used as a training
area for the Ontario regiments.
HOU8SEL4,
Electric light rates will advance in
Brussels on and after September 1st.
So little can be made during the Sum-
mer season where the metre is used
the proprieter is compelled to raise
from 10 to 12 cents per kilowatt. Mr.
Patterson says the old rate is consider-
ably lower than the average charge in
other places.
The sad news was received here of
the death of Mrs. Carey Evans, of Ed-
monton, on Sunday, 10th inst., leaving
a baby boy 2 months old. Deceased
was better known in Brussels as Miss
Ida Williams, only daughter of Rich-
ard Williams, a former well known
resident of this place, Deceased was
married two years ago and had recently
moved into a fine new home at Ed,
tnonton. She was 27 years of age and
was beloved by a wide circle of friends
who greatly regret her early demise
, 0. G. Publow, dairy inspector for
eastern Ontario, states that the de-
cline cheese pteluctiolt M Ontario,
Owing to dry weather wilt amount in
Valve to $2,210,600.

expects to Operate grain trains this fall.
HMI ItVALE
A temperance worker feels greatly
humiliated to think that the temper-
ance people of Bluevale will allow such
actions as have been taken by some of
our young men of this village in the
breaking of the Local Option By -Law
that was carried in this place, without
taking proceedings against them.
Monday of last week a few young men
journeyed to Wingham and procured
returned to our Local Option village in
such liquor that intoxicated them; they
this condition which is both degrading
and disgraceful not only to themselves
but also to the temperance people who
have worked for its abolishmeht. Such
violators of the law ought, I think, to
be punished and not only would it be a
lesson to these young then but also to
others who would try the same thing.
If it occurs again I for one will be
ready to take fiction against the offen-
ders. I sound this note as a warning.
GKftY.
Hugh Lamont, jr., is getting along
fairly well since his fall. One of his
legs has bothered him considerable in
addition to his broken *rist but we
hope he will soon be o. k.
Mrs. R. W. Burns, of Paisley, and
Dr. and Mrs. Jackson and two sons, of
North Battleford, Sask., are welcome
visitors at John Jackson's, 5th concess-
ion The former is a daughter and
Dr. Jackson is a son.
Mr. McCowan, M.P.P. for East York,
a cousin of Robt. Davidson, 11th} Con. ,
has been appointed Sheriff of York
County, having resigned his seat in the
Legislature.
Marion Smith, 5th con.. made a rather
unususual discovery a few days ago.
She was picking berries and hearing
a humming noice near her she looked
about and found the nest of a wren.
It contained two eggs which Miss Smith
judged would be about half the size of
robins' eggs. She purposed watching
the nest until the young appeared but
on going to the nest a day later the
eggs had disappeared. Evidently moth-
er wren had grown suspicious as to her
intentions.
The Business Man
It is surprising how even a neatly
and attactively printed letterhead will
tend to influence business. Did you
ever realize that your letterhead could
be made a material advertizing medium?
It certainly can. That's why large
business houses insist on getting the
best. A good letter head lends tone
and often gets business. The days of
the rubber stamp are over. Why? Be-
cause stamped letterheads and envel-
opes never look neat or attractive and
are a sign of retrogationsrather than
progess. We turn out neat, tasty and
attractive letterheads and envelopes.
Give us a trial order. We can please
you,
