PUF3t t8nER AND PROPIETOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER .'�.0, 1913 RESULTS QF A CRIME. Had the riding of Macdonald been al- lowed to vote according to its proper convictions it is not improbable that Mr. R. L. Richardson, a capable and honor- able citizen, would have been elected to represent that riding. That/ this was mote than probable is shown by the ex- traordinarily corrupt means taken by Hon. Robt. Rogers and his T ,ry elec- tion machine to defeat the will of the people. What have Macdonald and Canada gained by the injection of the Rogers -Roblin gang into the fight? For a year Macdonald has been rep- resented by a man confessedly elected by crooked methods—so crooked that Hon. Mr. Rogers dared not let him face the courts. During one of the most important sessions of parliament since Confederation, Macdonald was impro- perly and corrnptly represented. Dur- ing that session Mr. Alex. Morrison sat in an extreme back bench to which he was not entitled and at the end he drew the fall indemnity of $2,50+i to which he had no right. During the whole session Mr. Morri- son was only noticed on the opening day when he was introduc, d by his political sponsor, Hon. Robert Rogers, and Hon. W. J. Roche. From that day he never opened his mouth to join in debate, nor did anything in parliament or out. He simply voted blindly for the govern- ment, and drew $2,:00 for the job. This is the parliamentary record of Mr. Alex. Morrison, ex-M.P.: Speeches, none. Motions or amendments, none. Voted against Sir Wilfrid Laurier's amendment to the Speech from the Throne censuring the Macdonald and Richelieu by-election corruption; against every Liberal amendment to the Borden Naval Aid Bill; for every government motion regarding the Borden Naval Aid Bill; against Mr. L. J. Gauthier's vote of censure cn Hon. Mr. Coderre res- pecting the lIochelaga by-election per- sonation; paired against Mr. Oliver's motion of censure on Hon. Mr. Rogers in connection with the Prince Albert Homestead scandal; paired in support of the "gag" rule; voted for the $15,- 600,000 subsidy gift to Mackenzie & Mann, and against the Liberal proposals to either make this a loan or to secure some substantial return from the C.N.R. for it; against the Liberal amendment to the Highways Aid Bill, which were designed to give the Provinces their proper constitutional control of the pro- posed expenditures—in everything else the same consistent and silent support of the Borden government. Macdonald has reason to be ashamed of the manner in which Mr. Morrison was elected. It has reason to feel that Mr. Morrison's conduct in parliament Capital Paid Up $3,9oo,0oo. Reserve $3.750,020. Tats l Assets Over y i3 CCJ. C00. Baro Your Money WHAT a man earns is not as important as what he saves. An office boy mak- ing $6 a week, of which he saves $1, is actually earn- ing more than the 525 a week man who saves noth- ing. The boy's business is payingadividend; the man's is a failure. No matter how small your salary may he, you make a serious mistake when you fail to save a part of it. When you get your next week's salary, make up your mind to deposit a certain pereentage of it in this bank, where it will draw interest at the highest cur- rent rate. C. P. SMtTII Mang„ er, SIYinghatn was on a par with the means by a h:ch he got there. NEW TUNES ABROAD. It is possible that the Borden' rern- ment is being frightened into forgetful- ness of its frantic denunciations of reci- procity in 1911, when the paid agents of the High Tariff interests declaimed from every Tory platform against our trada going to the south, and copied Hon. Mr. Foster's demand, "No trade, nor truck with the Yankees"? While Mr. Borden's ministers have not dared openly to so offend their masters "the interests" in Canada, once they get away from here thty talk as though the great influence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's consistent demand for lower tariff and wider markets was causing thern serious alarm. At New York, on November 3rd, Premier Borden is thus reported in the New York Herald. "In regard to reciprocity between this Country and Canada, Mr. Borden said that Canada had no objection to such a treaty, and that Canada felt she had done her fair share towards it. He said he regretted that it had not come to pass." A few days later, on the 12th, two of Mr. Borden's Ministers, Hon. Mr. Foster, now acting Premier, and Hon. L. P. Pelletier, also attended a dinner at New York. Hon. Mr. Foster as having said,— "1'hat the question of reciprocity be- tween the two countries would never be entirely settled. Be.ause a certain pact was not carried out, it did not mean that reciprocity between the two countries was not going on and increas- .ng daily." Hon. Mr. Pelletier followed and told his New York audience that the intro duction of the Parcels Post system into Canada would be an added means of international trade and a further incen- tive to good relations, adding, "While we want to keep the right to frame our own tariff to suit the people of Canada, we want to have the most extensive and cordial relations with our relatives and friends in this country." It is about time f.ir the Manufacturers' Associatic n and the "Noble 18" to look into these heretical utterances of their servants in the government. If this sort of thing keeps on they will have to lay in a new supply of Union Jacks for Ontario. EDITORIAL NOTES The Province of Ontario, yes, the Dominion of Canada, although these matters belong particularly to the Provincial Governments, are ripe for a Lloyd George. There are problems in this country to solve which will, to use Lloyd George's words, "involve a strug- gle with great interests." We need men who are prepared to welcome that struggle as cheerfully as Lloyd George faced it when he introduced his "little bill" in 1900, and who, as a result of which, is now able to say, "we have beaten interests before and we will do it again." Interests — tremendously powerful interests—have to be battled with in the Province of Ontario and in the Dominion of Canada—the projected manufacturer, the predatory corporation in the one case, the "land monopoly" in theother. Ottawa Free Press. An American milling company has bought 100,000 bushels of Canadian wheat. to be ground in a Buffalo mill; the duty is $10,000, at ten cents a bush- el. Who pays the tax of $10,000? The milling company in the first place; then the bakers; then the customers of bread. If there were a Government tax on the sale of houses few would be found to defend it nor would it be ne- cessary to prove whether its removal would more greatly benefit the seller or the buyer. But taxes on imports seem to have a confusing and mystifying effect. If the taxes an wheat and flour be removed on both sides of the line, the benefit will be distributed among farmers, millers, bakers, and bread - eaters. It is not necessary to wrangle alio it the division of the benefit.— Toronto Star. lIow time flies'.

Paper Nu 4. 1 he Scott Act Would not Make Men Better. Men Cannot be Made Righteous by Law. • Prohibition is a scheme to make men good by law. It cannot be done. There never vas a time when it could be, The Apostle Paul recognized this fact nearly two thousand years ago when he said if men could be made righteous by Iaw then Christ is dead in vain. Tbd" proposition is pure fantasy. Neither temperance or virtue is promoted, r ' it. By invading private rights it a oaseshuman passion. Instead of r ucing drunkenness it multiplies by ocrites and lawbreakers. It has no/just re- cognition or belonging in the; economy of government or the autonylay of true religion. It is in its elseti ignorant, tyrannous, and dishon st. V Every real man bel'1iev s in freedom and the right to regul!. a his own con- duct. Prohibition legislation proceeds on the theory that those who patron- ize licensed hotels or take a drink are weak or irresponsible and reed a guard- ian. 11 you are to pass such laws as to drink, where will it stop? If you per- mit the Dominion Alliance to have their way in the matter of what we shall drink, their next step will be to tell us what we shall eat or smoke or wear. The principle is just the same. Our conception of free Government is that men are assumed to be responsible and are guarenteed their freedom until they abuse it. We deny that the people of this county, who stand for a decent hotel have abused their freedom to such an extent that they must now be placed in the custody of the Dominion Alliance or its agents. In the matter of this guardianship idea, we challenge the voters of this county to take a look around them and consider the character of some of the men who are in a self appointed way attempting to set theirselves up as their guardians. The best test of a man is how does he use power? That is the supreme test of manhood. How does he treat those within his control? The greater the man, the grander the man, the more careful he is in the use of power, the tenderer he is the nearer just, the greater the more merciful, the grander the more charit- able. Before reginning to submit yourselves to the control of another man find out what manner of a pian he is. Ascertain how he treats his wife or his children, his neighbors, his poor debtors, his servants, and you will be able to form an idea as to whether you would like to have such a man for your guardian. This Association is against the ring in then , idea. 'f nose d a. It favors the liberty of the individual as long as the rights of others are not interfered with. • Respectively, HI'RON COUNTY MEN'S ASSOCIATION. JOHN RANSF0RD, President. Wal. JACKSON, Secretary.

MIX EVA.LE The local branch of the Women's In- stituse are engaged in the good work of beautifying the cemetery. Last sum- mer funds for this purpose were raised at a garden party and on Wednesday, Nov. 5, the improvements were begun when about Fifty men responded to the invitation to help and made a transfor- mation in the appearance of the grounds, levelling the plots, laying walks, etc. The Women's Institute served a hot dinner to the workers. The progress made is very gratifying and the whole undertaking is creditable to all concern- ed. A progressive Women's Institute is one of the best organizations any community can have. The work of im- provement will be continued in the spring and at their regular meeting last week the Institute ladies decided to ap- point the 24th of May as an annua "Cemetery Day" when the public will be asked to co-operate in maintaining the appearance of the grounds. It is planned to make the day pleasurable as an annual spring outing for the neigh- borhood. ST. B ssLb 'S The rifle teams had their annual shooting match last Thursday and Fri- day. Jos.
