NOV. id, 18E)9, SOUTH Africa geography has became a widespread study and will be epeofally interesting to Canadians now that our Soldier boye are on -there way there, Oiusvr,Ane are being leaned by the Dominion Allianoe advleiog a new move along advanced temperance lines in the formation of a League of 3,00,000 electors who will bind themselves to vote for only snob oaodidatoe as will pledge their vote for Prohibition. The objection raised in some quarters is that it virtually brings a Third party into the politioal arena. "Goo Save the Queen," "Rule Brit. amnia" and "Soldiers of the Queen" have been much in evidence of late, some of the wage have girt the world. If we were in Mr. Krug•'r'e place we would quit at this stage of the game, if he doesn't he'll be "goose egged" ae sure as his name is Krug. He'll be sorry yet that he sent his burly Boers into British territory but it will all go to broaden and better civilization. The days of the tyrant are past. AarPun svidenoe has been given during the past two weeks of the strong ties rx• feting betwe"n the motherland and her colonies in onnnsetio 1 with the ending of troops to the Transvaal. The ettthus• iaem displayed is a guarantee that the Empire is one at heart and all e, unlly desiriona of promoting the we l being of Greet Britain. There would have been no difficulty in this Dominion of enlisting from 2000 to 6000 men If it bad been necessary. W's hope our redcoats will re• turn wit11"ut psrforatione by Kruger's ballets. TEBBE Jo igen will investigate the election frauds in West Elgin in the last bye election for the Legislature and report to the Government. Those who have already been reported will be pro- ceeded against. This is right, if the Liberal party can't win elections without adopting corrupt and unlawful means, they should be defeated and the law breakers punished. A few doses of this kind of medicine would do considerable to tone up the body politic and will have a most healthful influence on young Canadians. Tun write for the bye•elections in South Renfrew and West Peterborough have been iesaed. Nominations will take place on Tee -day next, Nov. 7, and poll. fug on Nov. 14 The elections are necessitated by the taking of Hon. J. B. Stratton and Hon. F. B L ttohford into the Cabinet. R. A. Campbell, 11. P. P., for South Itenirew, has resigned hie Beat, and Mr, Latchford will contest that constituency in the approaching election. Both e'eotions may be by acciama• tion an large Liberal majorities were given at the last election, Hog. Ma. lfos'rnn, when quizzed at a recent public meeting about the Prohibi tion question, sagely advissd the electors of the Dominion to send M. P's enough to Ottawa to early a prohibitory measure through Parliament. This throws the responsibility back on the people in the choice of candidates and members and thereby stirs hp the temperance senti- ment at home. We know some people Who are very ardently argiug Sir Wilfrid Laurier to give the country Prohibition who were never known to torn their hand over for the benefit of the cause in their own locality and do so now only to make a little elap•trap politics out of it. Tun Posx wants to see Prohibition but on a basic of permanency so that its advent will be so thoroughly backed up that the law would be properly enforced. If some of the present noisy advocates would show some local interest in developing public, sentiment their words would have more effect. THIS newly organized Provincial Cabi• net of Ontario ie starting out on lines that will commend themselves to the thinking public At every elcoticn for the Local Legislature there hie been a jawing match over the finances of the PeovInoe, and when the Liberals pre - rented their side of the question their statements were often repudiated, owing to no "real" audit being made. Premier Moss is to be the new Treasurer, and has Very wisely appointed Angus Kirkland, manager of the Baah of Montreal, Toron• to; II, E. Walker, general manager of the Bank of Commerce ; and John Hos. kin, Q, C., president of the Toronto General Trusts Co„ experienced and well known dnaaoiere, to look into the finances and examine the books, They are asked to report as to the method's of bookkeeping employed in the Treasury Department ; as to whether the state - manta made by the Treasury Department tare as full and dompfete as statements Usually made by large financial conoerne ; as to the oorroctneee of the annual hal• anoe sheet submitted to Parliament ; as to the character of the investments of the government ; as to the assets and !Mili- tia of the Province. These five points eatiefaotorily settled will be a big step gained, and will place the true condition of affairs before the Province from an im• I partial standpoint, A Fine Convention Or simony sl•hoct ittt,l ItpwsrlIe League eYortien'e, The Goderich Diutriot B.13 10341 Ii 1,, non- veutlon was held in Blyth on 'enmity' Cot, ober 17th, alio weather proved to be any- thing t inviting,theutbeautifulyd goodly flet church, to take part In 11,5 aerviuo thea showing their earnestness to B, S. aura D. le. work, The mol'tlittf eeaeinn, 119 usual, wee list so largely attende'1 las Those of the afternoon or evening, but the dieeusslone eeomed more aniwatoll.

Are there shoals and how to avoid them. Judging from the experiences of the past we have a very bright outlook, but there are shoals. Leagues should not try to become independent of the pastor. Attend the reg- ular church servlaes, work with the pastor for the church, do not allow the social and literary departments to supplant. the Chris- tian Endeavor department, avoid formality and too much machinery, leave meetings bright, cheery and full of sone.
