Sanctum Paragraphs.
A member of the British House of
Commons has given notice, that owing
to the drain on Onetime, he will move
that members forego their indemni•
nitiee and the cabinet ministers salar-
ies be reduced. In•theie days of Grand
Stand play in Canadian politica, it
would be well for both parties in our
Commons to vote solidly for a similar
measure and then give the Senate a
tip to throw it out.

In the past six weeks the Editor has
rambled through almost every corner
of the Province and while you hear
flue -ruin at every turn yet there are
evidences of better things. Factories
are re -opening, war contracts have
been received in nearly every Canadian
town, Canada and United States must
replace European goods. However
the greareat sign of returning pros-
perity is that the Rev. Morrow of
Toronto has got the roof on his
church.

It will be conceded by Liberal and
Conservative alike that Sir John Mo
Donald was Canada's greatest states-
man. Sir John was born on Jan. 11,
1815, bence the 100 Anniversary of his
birth will be Jan. 11 next. This should
be made a great day by the Liberal -Con

An official of a large corporation,
which bas made millions out of the
people, was explaining to the Editor
as we were speeding along in a rail-
way coach how hie firm was cutting
down expenditure. Formerly in one
department there was A. 13. and C.
B who got $55 and 0 who got $45 per
month were let out and A now does
the work of alt three. We were com-
pelled to ask him if that -was patriotic
for B. may have been • supporting
a widowed mother and C. a family of
little children. Surely a corporation
which has bad a huge surplus yearly
for 20 years should be content with a
deficit for one or two years.
A large departmental store in Lon-
don, Eng., gave a large donation to
the patriotic fund and then reduced
its staff and out wages; their donation
was returned and the royal patronage
withdrawn, The man, who does his
utmost to employ labor during these
troublous times is truly patriotic but
the corporations who are acting de-
spicably should be marked.
Proclamation.
By His Honour Col. 3. S. Hendrie,
Lieut. Governor of Ontario.
To The People of Ontario.
It is proposed to hold the 3rd Tuber-
culosis Sunday in the Churches
throughout Ontario on Sunday, Nov.
29th, and the 2nd Tuberculosis Day in
the Schools throughout Ontario on
Monday, November 80th.
All those whose position might be
used to further this most important
health movement, should do every.
thing in their power to make the
meetings on both days as successful as
possible.
When children are briefly taught
the pauses of this dreaded disease it
should make a lasting impression on
their minds and assist thein in avoid -
ng those 'habits of life which make
the inroads of consumption easy, and
the beniftta to be derived faom the in,
Mtruction in the Schools should be
most useful,
Of equal importance should be the
results the Sunday Services bearing
the approval and support of the Min-
isterial Associations.
More so now than at any other time
In our history as a part of the great
Empire, we should do all that we can
to improve the health of our Nation

people of this Province to give this

Mr. Spence Replies
On Oct, 15, we published the follow-
ing little innocent article entitled
"Where does the Money go," which
we publish now. Under this article
will be found a letter of Mr. Ben. H.
Spence in which he takes issue with
us but does not attempt to answer but
rather hedges around the main points.
Where Does The
Money Go?
People, who are asked to con-
tribute and do contribute yearly to
any organization, have a right to
know how their money is spent.
Dominion Alliance representatives
have again been occupying our
pulpits telling of their deficits and
soliciting contributions. Men who
have been in the habit of contri-
buting in the past are asking,
`Where does the money go?'
Strong, ardent, sincere, honest
temperance Conservatives are won-
dering if money contributed by
them in the past has been used
during the past provincial cam-
paign to pay organization expenses
of candidates opposing the Whit-
ney Government or expenses of
Alliance speakers, who always saw
fit to assist the Rowell candidates
If so, our churches are being used
indiri'ctly to collect campaign
funds to be need against a clean,
honest, temperance Administra-
tion. The Advance believes the
Alliance should tissue a print-
ed statement showing clearly
into what channels the motley
goes. Hundreds of men, who
have been contributors in the past,
are refusing to contribute until
they get further light. Will that
light be denied?
Toronto, Nov. llth, 1914.
The Edit -.r, The Wingham Advance,
Wingham, Ont.
Dear Sir ;—
My attention has been called to an art-
icle in your issue of October 18th headed
"Where does the money go"? and in
which you refer to the financial manage-
ment of our organization.
I feel confident that you would not in.
tentionally misrepresent or convey an im-
pression that was not in accordance with
the facts herein this letter. Let me as.
sure you that an annual audited statement
dealing with Alliance finances is present-
ed to the Annual Convention and printed
in the Pioneer. Copy of paper containing
last year's statement is sent you herewith.
As a matter of fact not a cent of Al,i-
ance funds has been used to pay for org-
anization or campaign expenses of any
Liberal candidate in the Province of On-
tario,nor have the churches of the pro% ince
been used directly or inderectly to collect
partisan campaign funds The work of
the Alliance is absolutely non partisan.
Moreover, your further statement that
hundreds of men who have been contribu-
tors in the past are refusing to contribute
now is hardly in accordance with the
facts, for there are very few such In
deed up to the present time the ordinary
receipts of I he Alliance from all sources
are several thousands of dollars in ad •
vance of what they were any previous
year in the history of our organization.
It is therefore fair to assume that there is
a more general satisraction with the work
the A liance is doing with th the admin
w
istration of its affairs
Permit me to point out further that
while Political Action is a very import-
ant department of our work, it is only one
of many as you will see from the enclosed
circular Even if a person did object to
the action of the Alliance in regard to
Law Enforcement, or Publieation or Pol.
itical Action, or any other department,
there is so much work that they would be
heartily in sympathy with, that they
would not be likely to withdraw their fin -
an lal support.
There has never been the faintest sug-
gesti n of the wi h holding of the fullest
possible information in regard to the fln
ancial administration of the Alliance, nor
has any request for information upon this
point been denied to any contributor.
414eeti Alliance finances are an open
book to all who are directly concerned
therewith.
Fours sincerely,

Time and space will not permit us to
reply in full to Mr. Spence but we would
merely ask hint to reply again as in
this letter he does not touch any of the
points raised by us. It will be seen by
our article that many were wondering if
matey collected in our churches had been
used during the past provincial eampaign
to pay organization expenses of eandi-
dates opposi. g the Whitney Government,
or cxpen-es of Ailiance speakers, who
always saw fit to assist the Rowell candi.
dates. Mr Spence hedges around both
of these questions. ,He says that not a
eent had been used to pay the organize -
tion orcampaign expenses a sny Liberal
candidate. We never mentioned Liberal
candidate. There Isere so called Alliance
candidates which of Course were a1*aye
endorsed by the Liberal Organization.

to say, that it is an iterating report,

financing has been agreeable to all. I
have it on the word of honorable men on
an important committee that such is not
the rase. We do not believe that any
official of the Alliance'• has misapprop-
riated any of the money bot Nr. Spence
knows full well the point that we, as a
Conservative Journsl,'&re trying to get
at, that is, whether or not money collect-
ed in our churches for the furtherance of
the Temperance cause has been used for
to pay the expenses of any candidate
whatsoever during the last provincial
election, or the expenses of speakers
assisting any candidate whatsoever This
is the point that Mr. Spence will have to
come to sooner or later, and there will be
no useeof his dodging, We still say that
there are hundreds of Conservatives who
are sincere temperance men and are not
contributing now on account of the poli-
tical bias which all fair minded people
admit that leading officials of the Alliance
have
We will take this matter up more fully
next week and invite Mr. Spence to do so
as well.

Fisheries; "The new regulations do
not affect resident trappers as they do
not require a license to trap, neither do
they require to dispose of catch of furs

Communication
Guelph, Nov. 16th, 1914.
Dear Sir,—
I sent you recently a program of
the Annual Convention of the Oatatio
Beekeepers' Association. Perhaps
you could now use a report of this
meeting.
The sessions were held as advertised
in the York County Council Chambers
Adelaide Street E., Toronto. Presi-
dent, J L. Byer, Markham, occupied
the chair at all of the sessions except
Wedneeday afternoonwhen the Assoc-
iation was honored by having the De-
puty Minister of Agriculture, Mr. W.
B. Roadhouse, in the chair. Mr.
Roadhouse expressed his pleasure at
meeting with the beekeepers to learn
of their aims and ambitions.
All the sessions were well attended -
In fact, the beekeepers in spite of
war times and the failure of the 1914
honey crop are optimistic and have
adopted the now almost universal slog-
an "Business as usual".
The report on apiary inspection giv•
en by the Provincial Apiarist shows
that while European Foul Brood is
rapidly spreading over the eastern
part of the Province and the zealous
co-operation of beekeepers themselves
is necessary to keep it in check, pro-
gress is being made in stamping out
the American Foul Brood which has
been so persistent in some of the
southwestern counties.
Mr. Sibbald. of Toronto, in an ad-
dress on "Putting up a honey Exhibit",
showed the advantage from an adevt-
ising standpoint of displaying honey
notonly at the Canadian National Ex-
hibition, but at all of the fall fairs. He
urged every beekeeper to take anint-
erest in local displays of tbie nature
"Sweet Clover, Its Culure and Uses",
was dicuesed by Wm. Inton of Aurora
Mr. lnton told how he had made $2000
'done season by selling the seed from
a thirteen acre Held of this plant,
Farmers in his community are using it
to restore fertility to the back fields
which usually do not get their share
of barnyard manure. Mr. Inton stat-
ed that he has as good results from
ploughing under a green crop of sweet
clover as from putting on a coating of
manure. He also mentioned results
which had been obtained by the Chem-
ical Department of the Ontario Agri-
cultural College. which go to show
for storing nitrogen in the soil sweet
clover ie of far greater value than any
other clover grown,
Trusting that this report will be of
interest to your readers, I am,

On the editor's return home Satur-
day,
aturday, he was congratulated upon
getting out of the hospital. It seeme
that the editor was sent to the hospi-
tal because he neglected to turn side-
ways when going through the door at
the Clerk's office,
Now the fact of the matter is that
the editor has since been measured by
E. C. White and W. A, Campbell and
they agree that there is nothing to be
gained by turning sideways.
Sandy Young said be was glad to
hear of the editor going to the hospi-
tal so that the clergymen would have
an opportunity to visit and advise.

we could slide through this door or
