EDITORIAL NOTES
During tho twelve months ending
with September last the new settlers
coming to Canada brought with them,
exclusive of actual cash, effects to the
value of $15,219,215. That is the total
of the customs entries for settlers'
effects for the twelve months. Of this
total arrivals from the United States
brought in off •et•; to the value of $10,-
022,935, while i:mm.srraats from Great
Britain brought in $4,019,404.
710. The increase in the national debt
during the month was $1,f87,t'57. At
the end of the month the net public debt
of the Dominion stood at $303,11.5,195.
'I he history of politics the world over
has shown that rural constituencies
have been less susceptible to specious
appeals or the influence of the fleshpots
than any other electorate. Renfrew
and South Bruce in Ontario afford
striking examples of this fact. In these
ridings two powerful organizations
threatened, coaxed and attempted to
bribe the electors to support the candi-
dates endorsed by the Federal Govern-
ment. Promises of extensive public
works were lavishly given; the eleetcrs
were told they would be punished in
the expenditure column if they did not
do what they were commanded to do.
But they could not be bribed, bluffed or
frightened. They sent to Parliament
the men they considered most worthy
of their suffrages, even though their
members would have to adorn the Op-
position benches. -Victoria Tithes.
The third session of Canada's twelfth
Parliament has been summoned for the
dispatch of business on Thursday, Jan.
15th, The date was definitely deter-
mined and the formal proclamation
ordered Thursday afternoon's sitting of
the cabinet. Jan. 8 has been consider-
ably mentioned of late as the probable
date, and this was favored by several of
the ministers, but as this would neces-
sitate western members leaving home
at New Years's, and as the 12th of Jan-
uary is a holiday in the service in
Ottawa, it was finally agreed to call the
House for the Ioth.
Discussing the Government's relations
with railroads in his famous Calgary
speech, Mr. R. B. Bennett, who has
Cabinet aspirations, made the following
remark - "You say why didn't we ex-
pose the graft? We dare not. As a
Canadian I am ashamed to tell you
what we know. 1 fear for the results
if it were known in London." No such
humiliating confession was ever neces-
sary during the years from 1896 to 1911
when the Liberals were in power. It
remained for the Borden government,
with its lofty professicns of politica
honour to wring such a confession from
one of its leading members.
It is now probable that the courts
will have the opportunity of investigat-
ing and reviewing the whole conduct of
the recent South Bruce bye -election, in
which, despite the concentrated efforts
of two Governments, Mr. Reuben E.
Truax, the Liberal standard-bearer)
succeeded in wresting the riding from
the Conservative forces. Conservatives
entered protest in the formal manner
at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on Friday,
and it is understood that the counter-
protest to be filed by the Liberals will
contain a series of sensational and de-
finite charges directly involving in at
least two cases, the. "men higher up."

On Monday evening. Dec. lst, a very
successful banquet was held in the
Whitechurch Presbyterian church, when
sixty men sat down at a sumptuous
feast, so daintily prepared by the
ladies of the congregation. The chair-
man of the evening was Mr. Dan Mar-
tin, who very elfieently performed the
duties connected with such an office.
The main feature of the evening was
addresses by two able men in our
church. Mr. R. D. Cameron, of Luck -
now, whose daughter, Miss Ethel, is
laboring in the Canadian Presbyterian
Mission field of Honan, China, spoke on
the need and call of the field both at
home and abroad. It was an enthusias-
tic and convincing address. Rev. A. J.
Mann, 13.A.. of Brussels, the second
speaker, followed with an earnest ap-
peal for positive and not a negative
Christian life. After a short address
on mission work in Old London by Mr.
J. Penrose, pastor of the Methodist
church here, the following resolution,
moved by Mr. H. D. Henderson and
seconded by Mr. Frank Henry was un-
animously adopted by a standing vote
of the men, "That we, members and
adherents of the Whitechurch Presby-
terian church aim to interest and enlist
our people more fully in missions and
endeavor to make the every member
canvass a success." After a vote of
thanks to the ladies the first and most
successful layman's banquet in the his-
tory of this congregation closed with
prayer by Rev. Mr. Mann.
The annual; meeting of the White-
church Cheese and Butter Manufactur-

MORRIS.
Word was received here last week
from Langdon, Alta., of the death of
Dorothy, the little daughter of Robert
and Mrs. Clark. She was not very
well on Friday but on Saturday she
seemed much better and no alarm was
felt about her. Sunday morning, about
2 o'clock, she suddenly became worse
and before a doctor could reach her
she passed away. She was a bright
little child and will be much missed in
the home. Much sympathy is felt for
the bereaved parents both of whom are
former residents of Morris. Mrs. Clark
is a daughter of James and Mrs, Russell,
5th line.
WINTER TOURS TO THE LAND
OF SUNSHINE AND SUMMER TIME.
At this season of the year a great
many are planning winter tours. Con-
siderable numbers annually visit the
ever -popular California Resorts, while
many prefer the flowers and sunshine
of Florida, together with the very even
climate.
Numerous people in comfortable cir-
cumstances, well able to offord a winter
tour, have the mistaken idea that tetrip
of this nature is most expensive/ This
is not so. Thanks to modern railway
facilities, extensive trip both interesting
and educational can be madewith speed
and comfort at a comparatively small
cost. Why not investigate?
The Canadian Pacific Railway offers
particularly gpod serfice to Detroit,
where direct connection is made for
Florida, via Cit} cmdati, Ohio and Atlan-
ta, Ga., JacksohxAlle, Florida, is reach-
ed second morttlling after leaving De-
troit. Excellent connections for Florida
can also be made via Buffalo.
The Canadian Pacific -Wabash route
will be found the ideal line to Chicago,
where direct connection is made for the
Southern States. New Orleans is reach-
ed second morning after leaving Tor-
onto.
Direct connection is also made at
Chicago for points in California, Texas,
Arizona, etc,
The Dining, Parlor and Sleeping Car
service between Toronto, Detroit and
Chicago is up-to-date in every particular.
Connecting lines also operate through
Steeping and Dining Cars.
Those contemplating a trip of any
nature will receive full information
from any C.P.R. Agent, or write M.
G. Murphy, District Passenger Agent,
Toron to.
Wilfrid and Miss Florence, children of
George Whitfield, who were dangerously
ill with pneumonia, are making a good
recovery we are pleased to state.
Ex -Reeve Strachan, who has passed
his 81st birthday, is not enjoying his old
time vigor but his wide circle of friends
hope he will soon regain his customery
good health.
The Rozell farm, Lot 3, Con. 9, con-
taining 100 acres, has been sold to Jabez
Jermyn, of Brussels, the price being
$6000. Mr. Rozell will give possession
in the Spring when the purchaser will
move to it. It is a conveniently located
property with good buildings, etc. We
hope Mr. RozeIl and sisters will continue
to reside in this locality.

On Saturday, Nov. 29th, Thos. Whit-
field, passed away at his comfortable
home, 12th con., like a ripe shock of
corn. He was conscious to the last.
He was only 111 4 or 5 days, pneumonia
being the cause and had been able to be
about as usual, assisting in the chores
and work about the same as ever. Mr.
Whitfield was born in Northumberland
Co., England, and came to Canada with
his parents when a child They made
their home in the township of Cart-
wright, Durham county. Deceased
married Miss Eliza Bradburn, of the
same locality and they came to Grey
township nearly 50 years ago, purchas-
ing a fine property on which he lived
continuously. He and his sons were
great farmers and no finer properties
are to be"found in the township than
are owned by them. Mrs. Whitfield
died on December 15th, 1$91, in her 60th
year. Six sons and five daughters were
born to the home, viz; -John, of Bow
island, Alta ; Thos. of Michigan; Teas-
dale, Albert. George and Levi, of this
township; Mrs. Brandon, Orillia; Mrs.
Robinson, Mich.; Mrs. Patterson, Car-
rievale, Sask.; Mrs. Panabaker, de-
ceased and Miss Whitfield at home.
The subject of this notice was a loyal
Methodist, whose home was always
open to the preachers and the Whit-
field church stood on the corner of his
farm for many years before removal to
another site. In politics he was a
Liberal. He was a man of muscular
vigor,: industry, integrity and high
character and although retiring in his
disposition wielded a good influence in
the community.
