Letter From California.
To the Editor --
Well 14r, Editor, we aures' thougat
you would have been one of the many
thoueencle of vieitere to Soutaern
California and the great Exposition at
San Freonloco and San Diego. You
timely would bays epjoyed the trip as
well as your town -folk, Mr, and elre.
A. Crawford, who gave us an after-
noon call. By the way, they seemed
to be captured with Vista Grande
(the.home of the ex -editor) situated as
it is near the foot•hille, and having
city advantages, with car service part
of the day every ten minute% the rest
of the day every 20 minutes. Sonya
of the tourists have returned, but it is
a fact, they still come in train -loads,
and will continue to do so. . It eeeroe
wonderful to easterners, who have
left ice, snow and blizealds behind, to
land here early in the morning among
roes, oranges, gardens glorious, and
scenery, the most inspiring and
beautiful,
Of course, the weather, is delight-
ful; it nearly always is, and it is
wonderful what effect the weather
has on health, buoyaney of the spirits,
etc. Dull, murky, muddy weather,
makes you feel miserable does it not?
We still remember the blues, the
weather used to give us, when we
wanted to mite eoraething like an
editorial leader.
Well, the navel orange harvest is
over; barley is headed out; new
potatoes (fleet crop of 1915) are on the
market, so are strawberries, green
peas, beans, etc., etc. Of course, we
lack the maple syrup, that is the real
kind, but we do not have to fill the
coal bin, nor see that the wood -pile,
is high and long, neither have we to
turn out in a blizzard and wade to our
knees in snow -drifts, nor shovel our
way to the road.
We notice many changes already in
Wingham. Death has taken many,
removals have caused other changes.
The great war has cast its shadow
even over Wingham, and some of its
boys are at the front, while at home,
the ladies are patriotically toiling for
those who have suffered from the
awful scourge. And still, there ap-
pears to be no rift in the cloud, no
prospect of the holocaust of slaughter
ceasing.
A most remarkable religious move-
naent bas commenced in this city, that
promises much for the commodity.
Evangelists Brown and Curry were
inaited by the Churches of the city for
a union revival campaign. A frame
tabernacle seating 5000 people has
been erected, in which 80,000 feet of
lumber was used. When the meetings
are over, the building will be pulled
down. It was erected in an incredib.
ly ehort time, by voluntary labor, the
two carpentere' Unions of the city
sending meri each day to superintend
the work, at which non -Union men,
Union men and any one who could
handle tools assisted. The ladies of
the Churches furnished the noon meal
for the woxkmen. Preliminary prayer
meetiogs were held, sixty each night
in different parts of the city, and a
wonderful spirit of union exists among
the people, The following are the
twenty-four Cburches that are banded
together for this religious eflort :-
Pasadena Presbiterian, Westmine-
ter Presbyterian, Lincoln Aveutte
Presbyterian, F.rat Baptist, Calvary
Baptist, Ttemont Baptist, First Con-
gregational, Neighborhood Congrega•
tional, Lake Avenue Congregational,
Pilgrim (North) Congregational, First
Methodiet, Washington Street Meth-
odist, Lincoln Avenue Methodist,
Lake Avenue Methodist, German
Methodist, Swedish Methodist, Alta -
dens Methodist, Larnanda Pat k Meth -
diet, First Obristian, Fleet Friends
All Saints Episcopal, English Luther's
an, United Presbyterian, Universalist,
TO these ratty be added the Y.M. 0. A.,
the Y. W. C. A., and some mailer
rieclepies. Denominational lines for
the present seem obliterated. A chuir
of 1000 voices from the different
Churches has been formed, and the
singing of the Gospel is meet im-
pressive. Automobiles, the Electric
railway and other vehiclee carry
banners announcing the rneetinge.
The effort brings together the sympa-
thies of eleven thousand members of
the 21 Churchea,

Editor Standard
Dear Sir,
To the many eulogiea that
have been offered to the memory of the
late J, N. Hay, I wish to add my hum-
ble tribute. Preseure of work kept
me from taking a kat look at his noble
face.
No doubt ample justice has bet n done
the memory of our late friend in the
rapid and good progress that he made
in the tusiness world, The place that
his firm occupies in the business of
Western Ontario owes to a great deal
to his push and tact.
In Municipal mattere, as Mayo; of
the town of Listowel for two years he
did more than sit in the chair. The
best interests of the town were ever
uppermost in his mind. He took a
personal pride in the beauty and 'pro-
grese of his town. The interests of
the humblest of her citizens were as
important to him as the interest I of
large business concerns. Many in the
humble walks of life learned to know
him in those years and to know him
was to love him. He was a happy op-
timistic spirit that not even the shad-
ow of death could rat into an abiding
gloom. As he walked down the street
he had a kind, happy and uplifting
word for everyone. He left a proces-
sion of smiling, happy faces behind
him.
As he loved his town, he loved his
country and the Empire. Politics he
took seriously, and though a strong
party man, be was never blind to the
possibility of there being some wirelom
on the other side. The greatest good
to his fellow countrymen was always
his uppermost thought in these mat-
ters.

Special COUOCII meeting
A special meetleg of the council
was held on Monday evening with
all the members present.
Chairman Currie advieed the selling
of some cement slabs* old wagon and
tank and a quantity of pipe. He also
made some remarks re-trafilo by-law,
statirag that there was a mevetnent on
foot to have traffic regulations of
Canada and United States in unison.
Ddlieulty had been in the way of
getting the grader to work in as natch
as town tearneters were veotkiug in
the country and laid before the Coun-
cil the advisability of the town pur-
chasing a team, Taming last year
cost the town $788-
Binkley and Patterson -That the
Street committee be empowered to
proceed with sidewalk on Frances St.,
when petition is properly signed -
cart led.
Ceuta Bell thought the turning
business should be amended, that
merchants claimed it would drive
farmers from town. Councillor Craws
ford said, "Show a farmer where he
can save ten cents and he will make a
haladozen turne."
Councillor VanNorman said that
the by-law was for education of public
not simply for prosecution. A lot of
tbis objection was bull talk.
Binkley and Patterson -That the
claim 4 in traffic byalave referring to
turning be struck out.
ConsideratIe warm discussion fol.
lowed, Yeas and Nays were taken,
Yeas, Mitcbell, Binkley, Patteeson,
Bell, Nays, Patterson, Currie, Van -
Norman, Iteivin. The motion was de
elated loet

(speed in traffic by••law) was finally
passed on motion of Bell and Patter-
son.

nine tenders from Toronto, through
advertisement in town papers, for
$2200 debentures. They were eold to
McKinnon & Co.
Binkley and Patterson -That the
sale of wagon, etc., etc., be left with
the several committees -carried.
Councillor Crawford thought the
purchase of a teamtwould be a good
investment. Coun. VstuNorman agreed
but sincathe contract was let for the
street watering for the year, it would
not be -advisable this year,
Bell - Patterson - That report of
committee reducing insurance on
Town Hall, machinery and hall, be
adopted -carried.
Crawford and Currie - That Con,
ealidated debentures be at 4 per cent
interest -carried.
At the close of the meeting the
Mayor entertained the Council, offic-
ials and press to an excellent supper
at Miller's Restaurant.
Worse Than Editors.
An editor is supposed to be the most
criticised man on earth, but a parson
has just been putting in a word for
clergyman, claiming that they are the
most ariserable of all the sons of men.
He says :
"The preacher has a hard time. If
his hair is gray, he is old,. If he is a
young, he hasn't had experience. If be
hes ten children, he has too many. If
he has none, he should have, and I'M%
setting a good example. If his wife
sings in the choir, she is presuming. If
she doesn't. she isn't interested in her
husband's wink. If a preacher reada
from notes, he is a bore. If he speaks
extemperaneously. he isn't deep
enougb. If he stays at home in his
study, he does not Mix enough with
the people. If he is seen around on
the streets, he ought to be at home
getting up a good sermon. If be calli
on some y poor family, he is play-
ing to the gallery. If he calls at the
home of the rich, he is an arietocrat.
Whatever he does, some one could
have told him how to do better. has
a fine titne living off donations whlch
never came in, and promises that
never mature. Next to being an ed-
itor, it is the most awful life." -Tit Bite.

What does it profit Canada to have
Sir Wilfrid Lander TAKE HIS OWN
HANDS OUT OF Tall FLOUR BAR-
REL OF' PRIVATE INTEGRITY in
the presence of proof that the well-
meaning weaknese of Slr Wilfrid per-
mitted the henchmen of his Govern-
ment TO THRUST TFIEIR HANDS
INTO THE PORK BARREL OF PUB-
LIC PLUNDER?
The T. R. Ferguson report suggeets
that Sir Wilfrid Laurier utterly lack-
ed the mental qualities which would
have required his Government to guard
THE PORK BARREL. s
Sir Wilfrid Laurier meets the tang-
gestion of the Ferguson report by the
exhibition of white and uplifted hands
recently withdrawn from the THE
FLOUR BARREL of undeniable and
irrelevant personal integrity.
Canada may well congratulate Sir
Robert Borden on bis realization that
it Premier of tbis country must offer
more than the PERSONAL VIBTUE
THAT KEEPS HIS OWN HANDS
CLEAN. TUB PERSONAL VIRTUE
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, of Sir Robert
Borden, and every other Premier may
prow an unprofitable national servant.
THE PERSONAL VIRTUE THAT
KEEPS EVERY • PREMIER'S
HANDS CLEAN can be taken for
granted. Such virtue is not worthy of
mention unless to that virtue be added
THE PUBLIC VIGILANCE THAT
CAN KEEP OTHER PEOPLE'S
HANDS EMPTY -of dishonest gain.
Doing His Duty
--
"Sir Robert Borden has a difficult
task, and he has arisen honourably to
it. No one in Canada can say he has
failed in doing hie.duty, nor can any-
one feel ashamed of his utterances."

ber for Shefford. Oue,, in a recent address
to the menabers of the Montreal Canadian
Club
"Remember Boy, You're
English."
St, George's Day, April 23, 1915. is a
date that should be honored by every
Canadiate of English birth or origin.
England owes much to Scotland and
Ireland. But the world owes muela to
England. Without borobaet or but.
kum, they who are sons and daughters
of the sceptred Tele by origin or birth
can WEAR THE ROSE ON ST.
GEORGE'S DAY, and thank God for
their kinship with the land and people
of England, both greater today in the
hour of trial and danger than at any
other moment in the world's history,
The Tragedy of 1911.
An election in 1915 is undesirable,
unnecessary, and would be utterly &-
void of party advantage to the Bor-
den Government.
Sr Robert Borden is strong enoue h
to fulfill the mandate given to his
party by the people of Canada In 1913.
The people of Canada are wise enough
to keep the Laurier leadership in the
exile to which that leadershipwas
doomed by the defeat of nu. The
result of the election will be the same
whether the struggle conies in 1915 or
MG. That result will sadden the ex.

that fool clause about turning On

have it removed but the others Would
not listen.

To drive at careful speed and to the
right is good, but, the Editor of this
paper hopes to live to see the day
when city regulations are necessary
on our main street but that day has
not yet arrived.
The rigs of our business men and
town automobiles are continuously
faced the wrong way and yet our
chief will be expected, when &lady or
an old man drives In from the country,
to warn them or fine them if they
turn wrongly on a street that you
could shoot a cannon up some days
with perfect safety, This town can't
afford to lose any farm trade through
fool acts of a so-called council. The
whole future of our town is wrapped
up in the prosperity and patronage of
the farming community and the Ad-
vance believes that this council ie mis-
representing our citizens, in fact, we
have reasons to believe that should
any fines be imposed they will be paid
by the Wingham Businese Men's As-
sociation.
This Is a one man council with one
assistant and the rest 'fall in'. A prev-
ious council saw fit to put $12,800 in-
surance on the town hall because it
cost practically the same ae $19,000.
Last meeting the executive committee
recommended that it be reduced to
$10,000 and the whole council says
'sure Mike.' In their Aunitors' Re
port it is put in as a $20.000 asset. The
land ie not worth more than, say,
52,000 and caw largest contractor says
the building could not be replaced for
$18,000. Our pen is getting heated,
but, why worry, our citizens have tak
en their measure and have only 8
months more to watch them 'making
straw men,' setting them up at one
meeting and knocking them down
next meeting.
The Mayor is continually knocking
preceding councils, let him and his
bunch resign and we will get naeriebers
of other councils to oppose them and
he will then see as to what our citizens
think of this and preceding coancile.
