42ND YEAR, NO. 50
Implement Makers are Putting
the National Policy on Trial
During the period of the present war
one of the problems which Canada will
have to solve will be the employment
of her own people. The cessation of
industry is the greatest evil which can
befall this country, and to a large ex-
tent it is an avoidable evil if but the
captains of industry display a little
patriotism, fortitude and calmness,
The gratitude of the Dominion will be
due the presidents and directors of
companies who play their pact like
men and lend their aid to the limit of
their means to keep unemployment at
a minimum. Certainly those will have
no claim upon the favor of any Can-
adian Government who do not think
today more of the general welfare
than of Otter own pocketbooks
The Telegram has no knowledge of
the circumstancee which caused the
cloeing of one of Toronto's greateet
factories. Ic does know that almost as
soon as the first cannon was fired, the,
gates of that factory were suddenly
closed against thousands of working-
men. The fate of these men and their
families is oneof grave concern, n t1
only to the City Council here, but also
to the statesmen who guide the Gov-
ernment at Ottawa. Locally,, attent-
ion trust be given to the immediate
problem created by the abrupt closing
down of a gigantic industry and the
consequent deprivation of thousands
of their livelihood, Whatever the
city can do can be merely a makeshift
remedy. The question, however,
looms large if, in the very near future,
the Federal Pediment will not have
to take some very drastic measurers
in connection with the industry in
question.
The National Policy is on trial. The
fiscal policy of Canada has been a
moderate protection not for revenue
purposes only, but to allow industries
to be built up in this country until they
were in a position to meet foreign com-
petition. Despite the clamor of dem•
agoguee, the intention was to promote
the welfare of the Canadian working-
man tether than the Canadian manu-
facturer, though he, too, must necess-
arily profit from the policy which hat,
been followed by both political parties
-when in office. That policy is basic
ally sound, fur it allows the emploe-
ment of Canadians in a thousand in-
dustries, and does not accept it as the
destiny of the Canadian people to be
' mete hewers of wood and drawers of
water" for alien concerns.
Under the operation of that polies
an industry was built up, employins
thousands of workingmen engaged le
the .nanufacturo of agricultural irnple-
mente. To day the gates of the largest
concern are closed, and thousands of
workingmen have been thrown upon
their own slim resources or upon those
of the community. Those workingmen
will not believe that the creation of an
industry which fails them at the fleet
sign of trouble if any gleaming triumph
for the policy which inede such Mis-
fortune possible.
Both the Laurier and the Borden ad-
ministration have again and again
given thought to the amount of pro
tection needed by the makers of agri-
cultural' implements. The wester.
farmer has clamored for the complete
abolition of. thin duty. Again am
again concessions have been made; but
there still was a eufflciently high tariff
wall left to protect the Canadian im-
plement -maker from too great com-
petition from the United States, It
was argued that some protection must
be maintained in order to insure the
prosperity of the workingmen engag-
ed in it, Yet, though demanding pro-
tection at home, the leading concern
was able to go,linto the markets of the
world and compete with the manuf-
acturers of every nail( n. The vo'ume
of business which was done in Russia
and Austria-Hungary alone is shown
by the fact that because war has cur-
tailed the demand from those nations
for agricultural implements, the Tor-
onto plant is immediately clotted down
This is indeed a eitaation worthy of
serious thought by the advocates of
tariff on agricultural implements. It
seems, on the face of it, that the Tor-
onto concern was by a protective policy
so strongly entrenched in the home
market that it could use it as a basis of
operations in foreign fields. That has
been the contention of many western
members of Parliament. The local
concern, by closing down because of
the lose of foreign business, bas played
directly into the hands of the advocat-
es of free trade in agricultural imple-
mr nte.
The theory of prstection was to give
the Canadian manufacturer an advan-
tage in the home market. It was not
intended to assist any concern to earn
big dividends in foreign fields. For if
a company is able to meet competition
thousanbs of miles away, it surely is
in a better position to meet competit-
ion at home. The extent to which one
concern has captured foreign business
in the face of open competition is
shown by the action of the Toronto
plant in giving notice to its men. The
National Policy was not created to
allow any implement company to build
up such a trade in Russia and Austria
that the closing of those markets mean
the closing of a Toronto pietist. The
National Policy was created to insure
the employment of Canadian working-
men, to keep them in Canada, to build
up the cities of Canada. If those
workingham and their families become
a burden instead of an eseet to the
community in which they live. simply
because the directors could see no div-
ideeds to be earned abroad, then in-
deed is the Canadian tariff schedule in
•trgent need of drastic revision. The
tariff was made for the people, and not
for the plutocrats -so has every Finan-
ce Minister declared. Then, indeed, is
the snatching away from thousands of
workingmen of their means of liveli-
hood an indictment against that item
in the tariff which puts a duty on ag-
ricultural implements entering Canada
The Dominion Pediment should at
once give thought whether there is
wisdom in a tariff item which allows
any company to reach that position in
which one great company Beams to
have confessed itself. The makers of
implements have long been in need ot
all the sympathy they could comtnaud
in the House of Commons and the
Senate. It is for them to beware that
they do not annihilate that sympathy
by failing a.beneflcent country in its
hour of need. -Toronto Telegram.

Wingham high School.
The float announcement of the re-
sults of the various matrloulation
examinations were received last Sat-
urday and below Is given the standing
attained by pupils of the High School.
A comparatively small number of
pupils take these examinations most
of them preferring those for Teachers'
Certificates, but those who have writ-
ten have been very successful.
In the Middle School Bessie Kennedy
and Edna James eecured Paso Matricu-
lation in connection with their En-
trance to Normal certificates. Dudley
Holmes took an exceptionally high
standing in Latinand French, and thus
completes matriculation. Similarly
Gordon Rintoul, by passing in Algebra
and French obtaine complete matricu-
lation besides taking Part II of Facul-
ty Entrance as previously announced.
In the Upper School, Wilfrid Ander-
son wrote on the Honour Examination
in Physics, Mathematics, French and
Latin and was successful in all. He
obtained First Class Honours in Phy-
sics, Second Class in Mathematics and
Third Class in Latin and French. We
understand that he intends to take a
Political Science Course in Toronto
University.
Nellie Nicholls, Verna McLaughlin,
Elizabeth Sanderson and Peter Muir
wrote on the French of the Upper
School in addition to Part I of Faculty
Entrance. They were all successful
at both examinations, and this with
Part II Faculty Entrance, which three
of them have already taken, gives
them complete honour Matriculation
standing.
The school seldom has a Scholarship
Candidate, but this year Wilson Ged-
des attempted this work, and with
gratifying success. He etande second
in Science in the Province, and Fourth
in Mathematics. He wine the Wel-
lington Scholarship in Mathematic,
and the Dickson Scholarship in Science,
both from Trinity College, and is also
awarded the First Edward Blake
Scholarship in Mathematics by the
University of Toronto. These scholar-
ships give him four years' tuitor and a
substantial cash bonus. His standing
in General Proficiency, eleventh in
order of merit, is rarticularly good
when it is considered that he wrote on
only one option, Science, and the
French of the Moderus option. All
those who stood above him took at
least two complete options, and many
of them three, thus having a possible
advantage of from two hundred to
four hundred mark's, Wilson intends
to take an honour course in mathema
tics of Toronto University.
Wingham- can be proud of the
growth and success of the High
School since its organization eight
years ego. According to the last re
port of the Minister of E.lucation it
etande fourth in point of average
daily attendance among the High
Schools of the Province outside of
Toronto and is larger than many of
the Collegiate Institutes. The most
noteworthy feature of the year closed
has been the exceptionally large
attendance in the Upper School, and
the success of this Form at extmina-
tione. Out of twenty-six pupils en-
rolled, twenty-five wrote on Depart-
mental examinations, and twenty-two
of these were successful.

PRAYERS DURING WAR.
His Lordship the Bishop of Huron
has addressed a letter to the clergy of
the Diocese of Huron submitting three
prayers to be used in the publlo services
of the church during the present war
The first to be used every Sunday, fol.
owed by one or both of the others, at
the diecretion of the minister. They
should be used immediately after the
Collect for the King in the Commun-
ion Office, or after the Collect for the
Royal Family in Morning and Even.
ing Prayer. The three prayers follow:
O Lord God of Hoete, stretch forth
we pray Thee, Thine almighty arm to
strengthen and protect the sailors and
soldiers of our King in every peril, both
of eea and land ; shelter them in the
day of battle, and in the time of peace
keep them safe from all evil, endue
them ever with loyalty. and courage;
and grant that in all things they may
serve as seeing Thee who are invisible ;
through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.
O Almighty God, King ot alt kings,
and Governor of all things, whose
power no creature is able to resist, to
whom it belongeth justly to punish
sinners, and to be merciful to them
that truly repent ; save and deliver us,
we humbly beseech Thee, from the
hands of our enemies; that we, being
armed with Thy defense, may be pre-
served evermore from all perils, to
glorify Thee, who art the only giver of
all victory ; through the merits of Thy
only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A most powerful and glorious Lord
God, the Lord of Hosts, that ruleth
and commandest all things ; Thou
sittest in the throne judging right and
therefore we make our address to Thy
Divine Majesty in this our necessity,
that Thou wouldet take the cause into
Thine own hand, and judger between
us and our enemies. S:tr up Thy
strength, 0 Lerd and come and help
ue; for Thou givest not always the
battle to the strong, but canst save by
many or by few. 0 let not our sins
now cry against us for vengeance ; but
hear us Thy poor servants begging
mercy, and imploring Thy help, and
that Thou wouldet be a defense unto
us against the face of the enemy.
Make it appear that Thou are our
Saviour and mighty Deliverer, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen,

Hydro Electric Boon,
A number of Wingham Citizens on
Wednesday of last week, visited the
modern dairy farm of Reeve Bissett of
Colborne Township. Mr. Bissett has
six hundred acres of land and has
about sixty cowe at prenont. His
barns are lighted by Hydro Electric
and the cowe are milked by machines
run by Hydro. Ensilage still in excel-
lent condition is fed to the cows and
sixty acres of corn awaits the silo this
year. Saltford Heights is possibly the
first farm in Huron County where
Hydro Electric is used for so many
purposes, Reeve Bissett is a good
fellow and an enterprising citizen, but,
the Advance regrets that such a
staunch Liberal as be should be the
first farmer in Huron County to enjoy
this great boon, in as mach, as the old
Liberal Regime were fast giving away
our great water privileges to friends
and favorities and when Sir Jamie
said in 1902, that if he was returned to
power he would conserve this great
heritage and generate electricity that
would be conveyed to the farms to be
used in many ways, he was laughed to
acorn. Sir James has kept hie woid,
as he has always done, and it is only
a matter of a few short years until
every farmer in Western Ontario will
enjoy this blessing. A few uses it can
be put to are pumping water, grinding
rainpulping , turnips, milking cowe,
lighting houses and barns, washing,
churning. ironing and rocking the
cradle. No wonder when the citizens
of Ontario were asked a few months
ago to turn Sir Adam Beck out of of-
fice, they could see no wortby succes-
sor to whom they felt like entrusting
the completion of this work.

"The Best Face
Cream I Ever
Used"
is what one of our lady customers
tells us about
Rexall Face Cream,
Knowing what it is made of, we
were certain it would be hard to
improve on.
We hardly expected that a quar-
ter package like Rexall would win
favor over other high priced lines
but it has.
Believing it the best article and
best value we have we like to re.
commend it to you.
Let us show it to you and tell you
about it-Rexall-that's the name.
