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.

Mr. Wilson is fixing the sawmill ready for chopping and sawing. The farmers around this section have their potatoes and turnips all up and busy plowing, fencing, etc. 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- ing Co. will be held in the Forester's ha;' here on Monday, December 22nd, commencing at 2 o'clock p.m. A. H. Musgrove, M.P.P., will be present and deliver an address of interest to the dairyman. A full attendance of share- holders and patrons is requested, The financial statement of the Domin- ion for the month of November em- phasizes the recent process of decreas- ing revenues and increasing expendi- tures, with consequent additions to the public debt. The official figures of the Finance Department for the month show a net falling off in revenue of $742,797 as compared with November of last year, while expenditures on con- solidated fund account increased by $1,- 054,208 and on capital account by $2,114,- 1Jllas ih' 1 Capital Paid Up $3,000,000.

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.

The Rozell farm, Lot 3, Con. 9, con- taining 100 acres, has been sold to Jabez Jermyn, of Brussels, the price being $6000.
