Workmen's Compensation.
Most Advanced Legislation yet Adopted by any Country..
On May 1st, 1914, there was placed on the Statute Books of Ontario the Work-
men's Compensation Act. It is admitted on all hands that the Act is the most ad-
vanced piece of legislation that has yet been enacted in any province of the Dominion,
or in any State of the Union, or in any of the countries of the Old World.
Some the of salient features of the Act are as follows :—
(1) if a workman is injured he is entitled in every case to compensation unless
the injury was caused solely by his serious and wilful misconduct, compensation must
still be paid if the injury results in death or serious disablement,
(2) There is no waiting period during which no compensation is payable. It is
true that the injury must last more than seven days, but if it does, the compensation
dates back to the date of the injury.
In most states and countries a definite period, generally of at least two weeks, is
fixed during which no compensation is payable
(3) - All law suits are done away with. The workman simply sends his claim to
the Board The Board receives a report from its local otiicial, and awards the com-
pensation without ever seeing the workman or his employer.
Nothing is deducted from the compensation to pay costs.
(4) The compensation cannot be garnished or attached by a creditor.
(5) The scale of compensation is generous—
1. Where the injury results in death—
$75 for burial expenses
$20 monthly to widow and $a monthly for each child under 10.
If the widow marries again she gets a lump sum equal to the total of
the weekly payments for elvo years.
2. Where a workman is permanently disatded he re.:eives a weekly pay-
ment during his lifetime equal to 55 per cent. of his average week-
ly earnings
Under most laws there is a limit fixed to the total amount which a workman may
receive, but under the Ontario Act there is no limit fixed, because he receives 55 per
cent. of his wages as long as he lives. If his wages run as high as $2,000, and he
lives forty years after his.injury. he will have received a total of $44,000.
(6) Payment of compensation out of the Accident Fund is practically guaranteed
to the workman by the province, provision being made for payment out of the Con-
solidated Revenue Fund of Ontario wherever the Accident Fund runs short, and the
Board is also required to raise, by assessments on the employers, reserve funds suffi-
cient to meet all future payments for compensation. The province contributes an-
nually $100,000 towards the cost of administrating the Act, and a further $20,000 to
pay the salaries of the members of the Board.

The Liberal Party in this p oVin e
c ,
.when in office, pledged itself to put
into operation as large a measure of
prohibition as the Legislature had
power to enact. On two occasions the
question was submitted by Liberal
`Governments to the electorate, accom-
panied by promises of prohibitive leg-
islation, and large majorities in the
affirmative were elicited. Neither the
promisee nor the plebiscites ever re-
sulted in action. It Was never intend-
ed they would.
In fact, the Liberals alwaye played
with the question for political•purpos-
es. The attempt to use the temper-
ance question as a Party cry is, there-
fore, not surprising. It is i;he old
game over again.
It is generally recognized, however,
that , substantial and permanent pro -
Veer: towards the solution of the
question can be made only by an
honestly enforced liquor law and by
means of local option—closing shops
and bare alike. This' policy has re-
sulted during the lest eight years in
the reduction of 1,214 liquor licenses
in Ontario, being about one- bird of
the number formerly issued. Ie has
made 347 municipalities "dry,"
Local Option unites all classes of the
community, irrespective of politics.
not only when the vote is taken, but
In the effort, which is tqually impor
taut,to enforce the law. Any plan
which divides the temperance people
into different political camps would
make the temperance question again
the sport and the victim of Party
politics, as it was for years in Ontario
under Liberal auspices, when no pro-
gress whatever Was made. •
In two ways the Whitney Govern-
ment has worked successfully to pro:
mote sobriety; first by a thorough
enforcement of the liquor laws, and
second by improving local option and
making it effective.

Canvassing in local option districts

Hotels have been closed on Christ-
mas day and Good Friday.
In cities and towns any one selling
liquor must have a bar -tender's license
which is forfeited by any offence
against the law.
Hasping liquor for sale without a
license is made as serious an offence as
for selling without a license, and the
maximum fine was raised from $200 to
$500.

Holders of tavern licenses are re-
stricted to sales for consumption on
the premises, so that no liquor boughs
in a tavern can be removed from the
licensed premises.
The coneumption of liquor in any
livery stable or other building in
which the public are in the habit of
resorting is prohibited.
The hours of selling are reduced so
that liquor cannot be sold until eight.

six.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LAW.
Various useful amendments have
been made to the Liquor Law with a
view to making its enforcement very
efficient.
Inspectors are now under the con•
trol of the ' central authorities and
have to comply with the rt quiremente
of the Department.
It is no longer possible for a second
and third offence to be prosecuted as
a first offence..
Convictions cannot be upset by tech-
nicalities,
Penalties for infraction of the law
have been increased; in some cases
doubled.
License fees have been largely hi -
creased, one•balf of the increase going
to the municipalities.

DOMINION DM( CELEBRATION
An Appeal To Ali Patriotic Citizens Of
Wingham Re The Celebration
On Dominion Day,
The programme for the big celebra-
tion on Dominion. Davy is now fully
completed and will without the shadow
of a doubt eclipse anything in the nu.•
t•nre of a celebration ever put on in
these parts..
The committee who have taken the
matter of putting on this day of sports
have done so entirely on their own re-
sponsibility and at them own risk.
They are working tooth and nail and
are (pending the price without any
compensation in any- shape or form
and no matter what the proceeds a-
mount
mount to not one cent will go to any
member of the committee or in fact to
anyone excepting those who are en-
gaged to put un the programme. In
case there is a lose this committee will
have to stand pat and pay it them-
eelvee, They therefore appeal to
every citizen to lend a helping hand to
make this a banner day, Many things
can be done by the citizens that will
help. For instance in the way of
decorating their homes, stores, etc in.
viting your friends from other towns
or villages or from the country to
spend the day with you, etc. By see-
ing to it that the kiddies have a little
spare change for that day so that it
svill not be necessary for them to steal
in under the canvas. The committee
need the money and hope the parents
will discourage the children from do•
ing this and also this advice re steal'
ing in under the canvas will apply to
some who are not kiddies.
There will be a grand parade at 9 a.
m. whioh will start teem the park and
all public school children from the
Wingham public school and the neigh-
boring schools from both villages and
country are asked to join in this par-
ade. Each child is asked to bring a
email fltg.and if possible it is desired
that the girls be dressed in white. At
the same time this is not compuleary
and no girl will be excluded from the
parade for the reason that she may
not have a white dress.
In return for this the committee have
decided to allow all public school child-
ren who take part in the proceasioninto
the grounds (in the morning only) for
the 'small fee of 5 cents. Arrange-
mente have been made for two balloon
ascenione (the morning one being es•
pecially for the benefit of the children)'
will take place immediately after the
parade reaches the grounds. The
Teeswater and the Wingham baseball
teams will then play and just let us
state right here. that Teeswater have
some ball team this year.
Promptly at 130 p,m. the Ohesley
lacoese team tthe best in northern On-
tario) and the Wingham team will
cross sticks. The Wingham team is
without any doubt the best the town
ever had and an excellent article of
Canada's National game is sure to re-
eult. .
At 3.30 Madame Dorothy De Vonda
will make another balloon aecention
and this will be followed by a baseball
game that wile make the audience sit
up and look. The Clinton and Wing -
ham teams will battle for the Oham-
pionehip of Huron and Dick Tasker
formerly pitcher for the Brantford
Canadian League team will pitch for
Clinton and our own Matt. Tetter will
do the twirling for Wingham.
The evening entertainment will be-
gin with a championship footba'l
game (for the county championship)
between the feet Brussels team and
the Wingham team, the latter expect
to win and will be composed largely of
the Champion Hough cup team.
Then will follow a "Feast of music"
by the Kincardine pipe band and the
Wingham band and the day will con-
clude with a most spectacular and
magnificent display of fireworks. This
display is being prepared by the Hand
Company of Hamilton and will sur -
pries anything of the kind that leas
been seen in these parts. -
Boopt the celebration and help
everyone to have a good time on
Dominion day.
A person who supplies liquor to an-
other person known to him to be on
the prohibited list for twelve months.
All fines imposed in local option
municipalities are now made available
for the enforcement of local option
in the whole License District.
It is an offence against the Act for at
person to be in an intoxicated condi-
tion in any municipality, whetber loc-
al option or otherwise, where no tav-
ern or shop license ie issued.
The administration of the law in
Scott Act counties is facilitated by pro-
viding that one half of any deficiency
in the expenses for enforcing the law
will be made up by the province.
Jane Wedding.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thos,
Drummond, Dlagontel St. was the
scene of a very pretty wedding ..on
Wednesday, June 10th at 11 a.m.,
when their daughter Mies Hasel was
united in the Holy bonds of matrimony
to Mr, Marshall Hetherington of To.
route, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Hetherington, Thornbury. The care-
many was performed by Rev. Mr. Dy-
mond in the preeence of about thirty
guests. After congratulations were
received, the company sat down to a
dainty wedding breakfast, The bride
was the reclplent of many beautiful
presents, some coming front Detroit,
fihornburry, Edmonton and Algoma.
The gift of the groom was a sunburst
of pearl*. The young couple left on
the 2,00 train, amid the best of wishes
of their many friends, for Toronto,
where they will reside. The Advance

Ors spoke in Wingham on Friday
evening of last week.
On Friday evening of last week a
large and enthusiastic audience,
which filled the Opera House to over-
flowing assembled to hear the popular
member for North Huron and the
Hou. I. B Lucas, Provincial Treasurer,
give the record of the Whitney Ad
ministration for the past nine years.
Dr. le C. Redmond, President of
North Huron Liberal Conservative
Association, in bis usual able and
pleasing manner presided. The Dr.
stated that temperance was only one
issue atnong °there, viz, :—Hydro,
Prison Reform, cheap school books,
and Honest Ballot, etc. He had been a
life long temperance man and there
had been more done for temperance
during tbe.9 years of Whitney Hanna
rule than the 34 years of the Liberal
regime and ho thought it better to
leave well enough alone.
On rising to speak Mr. Musgrove
received an ovation showing that he
had lost none of his old-time popu-
larity. He thanked the citizens of
Wingham and vicinity for their past
support. During his six years as
their representative he had only
missed four days and two of these
were owing to illness. Whitney had
made it that honest men could cast
their ballots knowing they would be
counted, During nine years not one
ballot was disputed, neither had their
been an election trial or a member
unseated. A sacred ballot and honest
elections were a great moral uplift to
the province which made the name of
Sir James revered. Rowell had stay-
ed with bis party through all those
dark corrupt days when so many
honest Liberals had withdrawn their
allegiance.
The word had gone out from Liber-
al headquarters that he must be de-
feated because he was always ready to
obey the call of his Leader to assist in
by-elections. No one had been found
in the constituency to oppose but a
man from Bruce was called in, also
all Mr. Anderson's speakers were fm -
ported. He thought the 20,000 citizens
of North Huron were competent to
manage their own elections.
The speaker then paid his respects
to the Wingham Times. He explain-
ed that the dispute over three months
extension was caused by the Dominion
Government postponing the election
on the Canada Temperance Act and
that the License Commissioners were
supreme and be bad never interfered
with them. He also satisfied his
audience regarding the Snider incident
and that his remarks in the House
and on the street were in entire ac-
cord. -He thought that the fake
seutrilous attack on 1. Wingham
citizen as made last week, ill-becaise
the Editor who had been treated so
well municipally, by tho Conservativ-
es of town,
Mr. Musgrove then showed how our
Northern Heritage was conserved and
eold to the bigbest bidder. Where
the Rose Government was receiving
$15,000 as royalty from mines, this
government was collecting $621,000.
Toe Government was spending $133,-
000 on education in Ontario as against
$51,-000 by the old government.
Ele next dealt with the true ring
regarding the Bi Lingual Schools and
predicted that the Government would
lose nearly all the French consti-
tuencies owing to the determination
of the Whitney Administration to
keep this an English speaking pro-
vince, by having Eoglish at the
medium of instruction in all schools,
$1000 in grants had been withheld
from schools not complying. .In the
Dominion the English and French
languages were official languages and
•on a par, but Ontario trust be Eng-
lish., Mr: Musgrove then 'dealt with
the Prison Reform referring to the
Hon. W. J. Hanna as a Sohn Howard.
A most eh:regent and instructive ad-
dress was closed by a personal appeal
to the people atnong whom he had
lived for over 50 years and who have
learned his ability and integrity, 12
enthusit9a counts for aught, Mr.
!1 ,
Musgrove'e friends are out to make
hie election sure.
Ron, 1. B. Lucas, Provincial Trea-
surer, was the next speaker and had
just begun his address when the fire
alarm tang, The audienes left the
hail to attend the fire but fully tae-
thirds of them returned after 10 o'clock
to hear the Cabinet, Minister, speak.
We cannot do full jo'tIee to the ex-
cellent address of ,sir. L'tcae in this
Mut, b will deal, with it in a general
way next week.
Another Pioneer Gone.
Adam Reid, one of the moat highly
respected pioneers of East Wawanoeh
passed away on Wednesday. June 17th
in his 87th year. He is survived by a
grown up family. Fuller particulars
will appear in our next issue.

Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Green celebrated

New Government House.
An Admirable Exchange for the Old and Dilapidated Government
House with Little, if any, Cost to the Province.
In ,securing tor Ontario a new Government House the Whitney Government has
used only the money derived from the sale of the old Government House. This
money could, under the law as it existed, be used •only for Government House pur-
poses, Originally the property belonged to the Dominion of Canada, but was trans-
ferred to the province on the undertaking that the property, er the proceeds of any
sale of it, would be utilized for a Government House.
The action of the Government in this matter illustrates in a very marked way the
difference between the old method of dealing with public affairs and the present
inethod. Two large blocks of land near the railway district of Toronto were recently
sold for railway purposes. One block of land, containing nearly Ten acres, was sold
by the Ross Government, and another, block of land, closely adjoining, containing Six
acres and a fraction, was sold by the Whitney Government.
The land sold by the Ross Government had been used for Parliament Buildings,
and was sold by it to the Grand Trunk Railway for $180,000, or about $18,000 an
acre. The land sold by the Whitney Government had been used for Government
had been used for Government House and realized $800,000, or about $130,000 per
acre.
As above pointed out, the proceeds of this advantageous sale of Government
House had been set aside by law for Government House purposes Accordingly, a
new site was obtained and a building erected which will in every way be a credit to
the province.. The chief objection the Opposition has to it is that it is too good for
Ontario, but the better the building is the better is the bargain Ontario has secured
So far the province has spent $008,000 on the site, laying out the grounds and erect-
ing the building, which is nearly completed. There remains on hand a balance of
about $200,000 to pay for the completion of the undertaking, so that the land given
to the province for Government Honse purposes and sold so advantageously by the
Whitney Government will about provide a new and modern Government House for
the province.
As the old building had stood for nearly half a century, a considerable expendi-
ture was necessary every year to keep it in repair. This expenditure averaged from
Ten to Fifteen Thousand Dollars a year, and will not be necessary for years to come
Hence the Government has not only secured a new and better Government House in
exchange for theold property, but has relieved the province of a considerable annual
charge for repairs.
. It should be remembered that the Government House is more than the official
residence of the Lieutenant -Governor. It is a building in which the people of Ontario
offer accomodation at the Capital for the Governor-General, his family and staff from
time to time. Here also are entertained, sometimes at the request of the Imperial
Government, the representatives of foreign nations, as well as distinguished men from
different parts of the British Empire. The Government House is also used on behalf
of the people of Ontario to show respect to great public bodies promoting philan-
thropic, religious and industrial enterprises who may visit the capital of the Province.
Considering that the structure now approaching completion is intended to meet the
requirements of the province for perhaps a long period, it is evident that those who
think the Governmer.t House is too good for Ontario fail to appreciate the future of
this province and its importance as a part of the Empire.
NOT TRUE.
Auburn. June 12, 1014.
To the Editor of Wingham Timee :—
Dear Sir :
I noticed in the llth June issue of
the Times this statement "As Mr.
Musgrove poses as a mind reader and
is very ready to impute motions to
the liberals, perhaps he will inform'us
what brought about -the change in`
Mr. Lockhart".
You are perhaps laboring under the
impression that I was an aspirant for
Parliamentary honors, but I was not
inspired by any such ambition, and on
the 4th of May in the village of Dun-
gannon in the presence of a number, I
distinctly told Mr. J. G. Anderson, M.
P. P. for S. Bruce that I was not.
I have been an active temperance
worker almost all my life and I honest-
ly believed, and atilt believe the cause
of temperance would be best served in
the County of Huron, by electing our
present member, Mr. A. H. Musgrove,
in whom I have the utmost confidence.
I have been chairman of the License
Board of N. Huron for the six years
that Mr. Musgrove has been member
and during all that time I"have never
known Mr. Musgrove to interfere
with, or dictate to, the Board on any
matter but always enjoined an honest
fair and impartial enforcement of the
law. I therefore deny most emphati-
cally that I have changed my views,
one iota, either on the question of br-
ing a candidate or on the question of
temperance. Those who know me,
my reform friends as well as conserva-
tive, even my enemies, will concede at
least than I possess the courage of my
convictions. I cannot be honestly
charged by any one with hiding my
temperance views "under a bushel".
They are well known to every hotel
man in N. Huron and respected be-
cause they knew I "practised what I
preached".
It is needless for me to remind you
and your readers that Premiere Mow-
at, Hardy and Ross all promised more
than Mr. N. W. Rowell is promising
but all even with the backing of an
overwhelming eentiment failed to re-
deem their promises. Good acts were
placed upon the statutes. Local Op-
tion drafted so weak as to be aheost
abortive. The Scott Act carried by
the people rendered worse than use-
less through sheer lack of enforce-
ment.
No sane student of politics believes
for one moment that the Whitney
Government will be defeated, I with
thousands of other p ro m i n e n t
temperance workers in the pro-
vince are convinced that the
cause of temperance will be best ad-
vanced by returning such men ae,
Lucas, Hearst, the member for Duffer -
in, Mr. A. H. Musgrove and a host of
other temperance men in sympathy
with the Government, Mr, J. G.
Anderson's better opposition to Jas
Mitchell the pledged temperance can-
didate to West Huron and Sabbath
echool worker has forfeited the conte-
deuce of a large section of temperance
workere, I was one of those Hien who
instated upon bringing out a Temper-
ante man. Ile was endorsed by such
men as A. B. Carr of lllyth, the late
Wm. MoKenzie of Goderich and many
others. Mr. Anderson is now soliciting
eupport on the very grounde he refuse
ed Mitchell.
1 hope Mr. Anderson is not "running
with the bare and hunting with the
hounds," Itutnor perhaps does him a
grave injustice when it credits him
with expressions of Borrow to hie
hotel Wendt atthe loss of their
licensee on the 30th of April in the
village of Blyth. 1 thank you for
space.
I ane yours, vire.,
M. Lockhart.
Residence Burned.
About 9 p,m. on Friday fire broke
out in the residence of Mr. Robert
Saint, Edward St. The alarm was,
quickly given and although the fire-
men rushed to the scene with all pos-
sible speed, the building being a frame
one, was badly damaged before any-
thing could be done, Some of the
furniture was gotten out and although
the property was insured, the lose will
be a heavy one for Mr. Saint.
Did Rowell or Anderson ever
forsake their party on principle?
Bilingual Schools or Banish the
Bar, which ever works the people
better.
Mowat, Hardy and Ross admin-
istrations were lavish in their
promises to prohibitionists. Mr.
Rowell gives more promises.
2,814 bars and shops when Sir
James assumed office and only
1,600 now is surely abolishing the
bar. Sane temperance men believe
in leaving "well enough alone."
"Banish the bar and save the
bay" is the Rowell slogan. The
bar is banished in Huron and any
municipality in Ontario can live also
abolish the bar and save the boy
as Huron did by passing the Scott
Act.
There has been more advance in
temperance in 9 years of Conserva-
tive rule than 33 years of Liberal
rule. Rowell stayed with that
corrupt Government to the last
ditch.
The Liberal candidate in South
Bruce openly stated in convention
that he would not support Rowell's
'abolish -the -bar', so have possibly a
dozen or more others. Will Row-
ell and the Globe repudiate these ?
No, Rowell spoke in Ottawa on
behalf of Aid. Pinard who is not
in favor of 'banish -the -bar'. Ban-
ish Whitney is really Rowell's
policy.
Mr, J. Gt. Anderson resides in
Lucknow, Lucknow voted on Lo-
cal Option in January, 1912, One
month before that vote Mr. Ander-
son Was Liberal candidate in South
Bruce and a Lucknow hotel -keeper
campaigned in a most practical
'abolish then bar' fashion through
Formosa, Milimay, etc., for Mr.
Anderson. This goes to for.
that Mr, Anderson wag an ardent
Local Option worker? This is not
a personal attack on Mr. Anderson
who is a good citizen, but when he
appeals on 'banish the bar', his
temperance record should be an
open book, Let him tell the geo.
pie when he worked at temperance.
The abolition of the bar is not
an issue ; the issue is the best
method of banishing the bar. Sir
James Whitney believes in the
Local Optica and Scott net meth-
ods.
ods. Legislation is the cry staliza-
Mott of public opinion. It is folly
to legislate ahead of public senti-
ment. When the people of ani,
