PrBaISUEa Asn Pnnc•LEToa THURSDAY, OCTOBER :;o, 1913 EDITORIAL NOTES A contract has been made by the Borden Government with American firms for the construction of the largest telescope in the world, to be erected at Ottawa. It is to be of the reflector type, but it will not reflect the "no truck nor trade with the Yankees" cry the Tories raised in 1011. Although it is t.: be the largest in the world it will not be powerful enough to locate the Borden Naval policy. Winston Churchill recently proposed to the Kaiser that if Germany would postpone Naval building for a year Great Britain would do likewise. Ger- many has declined. And for what reason? Because, as pointed out in the cable despatches, she declares the pro- posal is not an honest one while Church- ill is expecting 3 ships from Borden. So the effect of the Borden contribue tion is to prevent a friendly alliance between England and Germany. The total immigration to Canada during the first six months, April to September, of the current fiscal year, was 307,267, made up of 121.204 British, 72,880 American and 113,182 from all other countries. During the six corresponding months of last fiscal year the total number was 273,648, composed of 108,331 British, 89,659 American, and 7:5,659 from all other countries. The increase is 12 per cent It is evident that the Whitney Govern- ment is in great difficulities owning to the Bilingual schnol question. Mr. Rowell, in a statement issued in reply to the Hon. Mr. Lucas claims that the root of the trouble is the Government's Iack of any stable policy or conviction on the question and their wabbiing at- titude throughout. The Liberal Leader gave emphatic denial to Mr. Lucas' in- sinuation that he (Mr. Rowell) was be- hind the a;.itation being carried on by the Ottawa Separate School Board. "I have had no communication" he said, "direct, or indirect, with the Ottawa men," Mr. Rowell pointed out in con- trast to the Government's shifting at- titude on the Bilingual question that the Liberal policy enunciated when he became Leader in 1911 remains unchang- ed to -day, It is as foilows: "To pro- vide through adequate training schools a sufficient supply of competent teachers and thus insure under proper regulations that the pupils in every school in the Province shall receive a thorough English education." "We believe this policy to be right" said Mr. Rowell, "and we stand by it. Mr. Lucas asks whether we will support the Goverr.- ment's policy. I ask. what is the Gov- ernment's policy?"

Wineham tALIi i:'iTISE1IEN11 HURON COUNTY BUSI NESS MEN'S ASSOCIA- TION CHALLENGE Adherents of Prohibition to Debate Claim Scott Act will Hurt not Help Huron County. The Huron County Business Men's Association are as deeply concerned ab'•ut the welfare of the County as those who want to carry the Scott Act in the County are concerned. This A'saciation is just as anxious to do the things and stand for the things being done that will raise the standard of morals and improve social and economic conditions in Huron County as those who are opposing it in the position it takes upon the proposed Scott Act for the County. This Association opposes the Scott Act in Huron County because it does not believe it would be a good law for the County. Experience has shown the Scott Act to be a failure wherever and whenever tried. Instead of raising the standard of morals it has lowered it. Instead of improving social conditions it has degraded them. In- stead of making it easier for boys to gro•.v up to he good men and their sisters to be good women, it has made it harder. Instead of attracting busi- ness and making business better, it has driven business away and made business worse. Instead of abolishing drunken- ness and the drink habit it has increased both. Why is this true? It is true because the law is not a good law. This As- sociation does not ask you to take its word that the law is not a good law. It asks you to read the law for yourself and judge for yourself whether the Scott Act would or would notbring about the conditions in Huron County this Association claims it would bring about. Section 117 of the Act is in these words "From the day on which thiapart comes into force and takes effectin any county or city, and for so lone'there- after as, and while the same ,atintinues or is in force therein, no person shall, except as in this part speciallprovided, by himself, his clerk, servant.br agent: — "(a) expose or keep for/ale, within such county or city, atVy intoxicat- ing liquor; or. "(b) directly or ind((ectly on any pretense or upon aify device, with- in any such 4ountr or city, sell or barter, or, in,tco ideration of the purchase of'any other property, give to any oth4r person any intoxi- cating liquor; or "(c) send, ship, bring or carry or cause to be sent, shipped, brought or carried to or into any snch county or city any intoxication liquor; or, "(d)deliver to any consignee or other person, or store, warehouse, or keep for delivery, any intoxicating liquor so sent, shipped, brought or carried. "2 paragraphs (c) and (d) of subsection 1 of this section shall not apply to any intoxicating liquor, sent shipped, brought or carried to any person or persons for his or their personal or family use, except it be so sent, shipped brought or carried to be paid for in such county or city to the person deliver- ing the same, his clerk, servant or agent, or his master or principal, if the person delivering it is himself aservant or agent. A public debate upon this question would be the best and quickest means of giving the voter information upon this grave problem. An oppor- tunity to hear botn sides at once would be interesting and instruc- tive. Those who are favoring the Scott Act or Canada Temperance Act in this County are favoring prohibition of the liquor traffic, so for as that traffic relates to the sale of liquor in the County. This Association hopes they are doing this because they be- lieve prohibition is right in principle, Christian in character, and a remedy for drunkenness. This Association is opposed to prohibition because it believes it to be wrong in principle, un -Christian in character and powerless as a remedy for drunkenness. The issue is plainly joined. This Association therefore challenges those who are favoring the Scott Act in this County to debate the following resolution:— "Resolved that Prohibition is fun- damentally wrong in principle, un- Christain in character, and power- less as a remedy for drunkenness." This Association will name a man as its champion, and meet any man having the indorsement' of the Dominion Al- liance, each side to pay one half the expenses of holding the debate, report. ing and printing the speeches of the debaters and mailing a copy to each and every voter in the County.

There are two kinds of persons in the ;world: those who think first of difficul- :i s, and those who think first of the importance. of accomplishment in spite of difficulties. If a thing ought to be done, the presence of severe ob-tacks 1 to its doing is only a further rea;r:n for bringing it to pass. Yet the trait of in- stantly showing why a thing cannot be done is keeping down more young men, land older men too. in business, than any oth'r factor in their live e. Anybody t can point out difficulties: it calls for jbrains and courage to :out: beyond diffi- culties to the end. If you want to stay ljuat where you are in the pi°cession, { or fall steadily behind. give obstacles a first place in your life If you want to move out from Vie crowd, and count for somethingmt re than "average," let every obstacle be welcomed as a fresh n'ive to acti n.—Exchange.

Old Graduates Would Scarcely Know Methodist University. To many a former graduate who has not visited his alma mater with- in recent years, as well as to numer- ous citizens of Toronto and of Can- ada at large, startling sensations are in store for them on seeing for the first time the beautiful rile of build- ings that comprise Burwash Hall and the new Victoria College residences in Toronto, says W. A. Craick in To- ronto Saturday Globe. Were it not for their newness, the range of houses and the hall might well be taken for a part of some famous col- lege at Oxford or Cambridge. Built in the collegiate Gothic style, the first example of an extensive application of this form of architecture to Cana- dian college buildings, they possess all the peculiar beauty associated with this kind of construction. Graduate of former years who spent their college days in stuffy bedrooms on the top floors of musty boarding-houses exclaim at the good luck of the modern undergraduate who has before him the prospect of life in the genial academic atmos- phere of one of these residences. There are four entirely separate houses in the range, each opening on what will, perhaps, become known in time as the "long walk." The houses have already been denominat- ed' North, Middle, Gate and South Houses, as being expressive of their location. The North HouLe lies near- est Charles street and may be entered through the Charles street gate. The Middle House adjoins it; then comes the Gate House, so called from its proximity .o the St. Mary gate; and at the south end, nc.srest the park, is the South House. The residences have been very sim- ply- but substantially lifted up. In each house there are from twenty- five to thirty hedreoms, varying in air•, but all bright, wt:1-ventilated rooms. On the ground floor in each hnnse there is a largo common room, with fireplace, where the residents of the house may gather for conversa- tion or study, and on the first floor a suite of rooms fr the use of a don Is provided. The prevailing decora- tion of the walls throughout is pale green and the windows are hung with cream -colored casetrent cloth. The furniture is very simple in design, but strong and serviceable. As one passes through the halls and up the stairs, peeping here and there into the rooms that are now sheltering their first set of students, the mind not unnaturally projects it- self into the future. These buildings are here presumably to stay; they will doubtless accommodate genera- tions of students through many years and perhaps through several centur- ies. In time historic associations will begin to cling about their walls, and rooms will be pointed out as the col- lapse habitations of great men still unborn. There will be many a tale told about men and happenings in the book of history that is now being opened at this its first unblemished page. Across the beginnings of what may one day be a wide and imposing quadrangle, when the whole scheme of Victoria College buildings is car- ried out, there rise the handsome but- tressed walls of Burwash Hall, des- tined to be the centre of the common life of the students for years to come. In the hall they will assemble for meals, gather for special lectures and hold various functions incidental to student life. The imposing ap- pearance of the exterior, with its lof- ty, mullioned windows, and the square and octagonal bays that vary the uniformity of the walls, is carried out with equal impressiveness within. Entering from the long walk through the Charles • treet gate, one ascends several steps to reach the level of the hall. It is an extremely simple and yet a most striking apart- ment. In length extending over one hundred feet, and with a breadth of thirty-six feet, the roof rises to a height of forty feet, its ceiling c' Georgia pine being of open truss con- struction and quite plain. On a dais at the further end the faculty table is placed while the rtudents are seated on monastic -like benches at long tables in the lower part of the hall. BATTLING SPIDERS. When They Fight It Is Really a Com- bat For Existence. When two or more spiders fight there is usually a good reason for the fu- rious attack and vigorous defense that always follows. It is not generally known that after a certain time has elapsed spiders be- come incapable of spinning a web from lack of sufficient material, The gluti- nous substance from which the spider spins its slender web is limited. There- fore, spiders cannot keep on construct• ing new snares for their prey when the old webs are destroyed. Very often when the web material is exhausted they are able to avail themselves of the web producing pow'. era of their younger or more fortunate neighbors, and this they do without any scruple whatever. As soon as a spider's web construct- ing onstructing material has become exhausted and Its last web destroyed, it usually sets out in search of another home and unless it should find one that is unoc- cupied a battle usually ensues, which ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender. Such a struggle is intensely interest- ing and will reveal some wonderful tactics and skill in spider warfare. The invader usually comes off victorious, although in some cases the defender puts up such a stiff tight it Is able to bold its own In spite of the attack of the intruder which Is in desperate straits.—New York American. A GLIMPSE OF SMYRNA. Its Greatest Business Street Is Only Fifteen Feet Wide. Let us in imagination go ashore at Smyrna from oue of the great black steamships of the Messageries Mari- times. \Ve land on a noisy, bustling quay alongside of which runs a little one horse railway. Great ships from most of the leading ports of the world are tied up to the quay by their sterns. On the other side of the broad street, the only one in Smyrna to which this adjective can be applied, are large warehouses and one or two pretentious hotels. Passing through a cross street, we come to the great business artery og the city, the so coped "Frank street,^ which has doubtless obtained its name from the fact that so many Franks, a generic name for foreigners, do but - ness on it. This street is only fifteen feet wide, and yet it is the chief business thor- oughfare of a city of a quarter of a million inhabitants. Two people stretching out their arms and touching hands in the middle could span the street, and yet through it hurries a con- stant stream of foot passengers, dash Ing cabs, stately camels, donkeys and donkey boys, beasts of burden and men of burden, carrying every conceiv- able onceivable article that people of the orient or the occident might want for this la one of the chief cities in the world where east and west meet on a com- mon footing.—Christian Herald. Exhumation of the most curious of Milton. One of instances oa exhumation was that Milton's re- mains at the parish church of St. Giles, Cripplegate. Doubts having been ex- pressed zpressed as to the exact position of the grave, the ground was opened in 1790. A struggle for relics followed, bones, teeth and hair being seized by the par- ish officials. Crowds flocked to the church and paid the gravedigger 64 per head to see the remains, while the workmen engaged there shared in the plunder by refusing admission to 1 any one who would not pay the price of a [lot of beer. And finally the poor rector, who had not shared in the r spoils, brought an action "tor the re- f covery of dues unjustly withheld from him."—Landon Chronicle. 00.049000•40••••••0•e•••••o>40e••••.O•••O•••••••o••••41)e•,if•i•••1.00••••••,,44i4. r i • a • A • • • • • 0 • O • •4. a • • • 4 • • • O 0 • a • • 0 •a • 0 4 • 4 4 a • • • a • 0 • • 0 • • • • • • • O • 4 • i Rain Coat Special This Week! • R 4 4 •• • 4 0 4 4 4 Our Stock of Men's and Women's Raincoats on Sale • this week, at a very decided reduction.
