ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROriETOR THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1913 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 Capital Pald Up 53,000,000. Reserve 53,750,000. Total Assets Over $48,000,000, Your Successful Friends Ilion envied boyhood com- panions of yours who have made a success in the busi- ness wo.Id. probably made their own fortunes by sys- tematic saving.

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. tf Er,7ifOKE. i The hotel building and large stable b •longing to Mr. Jas. Risby were eom- pletely destroyed by fire en Friday evening last. It is not known how the fire started. jThere was, We under- stand, insurance amounting to $1,500 on the buildings and Contents.

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.

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.
