To the Editor of the Brussels Post,
Dear Sir: --
Will you kindly allow me space
in your valuable paper to correct a
wrong impression which might be left
in the melds of the people after read-
ing the news item which appeared in
your issue of last week in the Blue -
vale, items.
The charges which are referred to
es being of a serious • nature and
which are claimed as having been.
withdrawn by the Presbyterians were
merely a true statement of things as
they existed and which have never
been withdrawn,
On the advice of our counsel those
charges were not pressed, not because
they were not true, but because in the
event of the vote being proven irre-
guler the property automatically.
went into Union which WAS helping
us not at all.
We were advised to apply under
section ten, which dealt exclusively
with cases of hardship. We appealed
to the - generosity of our Unionist
friends. We leave it to the judgment
.of a fair minded community as to
whether their response WAS eithe
just or generous.
With regard to the story,that is
being circulated that I, either on my
own account or on behalf of the
Presbyterian congregation, apologiz-
ed to Rev. C. Tate at Clinton. This
is poatitively not true and remember,
ing the talk which I had with Rev.
Mr. Tate, I am sure did not come
from him.
Surely our Unioniet friends, now
that they. find themselves in posses-
sion of all the church property in the
village, should be' satisfied to let mat-
ters rest.
They now control property, all of
which they cannot possibly use for
the purpose for which it was intend-
ed. Churches which were built and
dedicated to God by people, many of
whom have already gone to their re-
ward. They are God's Houses, not
theirs, and with them must be accept-
ed the responsibility for the use to
be made of them. J. C. Higgins,.
Chairman of the Committee.

Wingham, Dee. 13. --.-.This after-
noon Provincial Officers Phippen of
Wrenghem, and 'Whitesidea, of t=ode
eriele, arrested C. Itmott, ox 131ue-
vale, on a charge of indecent assault
on the 18 -year-old daughter of Geo.
Campbell, also of Bluevale. The
charge was laid by Mr. Campbell.
The accused was taken to the county
jail at Goderieh by Officer Whitesides
and will appear at a later date before
Magistrate Reid at Wingham. Pre-
paratione are being made for his re-
lease on bail,

George Spotton, Conservative, �
who Bush whac kers
was declared the winner by the Coun-
ty Judge.
The recount showed that in three jand
polling places where Mr. King had ,
aubatantiai majorities the counterfoils
by which the ballots might be identi-
fisd, had not been tarn off. This he
considered sufficient to justify the
-throwing out of these ballots. Ac-
cording to this decision the unproper
handling of ballots was of greater
moment than the disfranchising of
the electors who had marked those
ballots.
Mr. Justice Wright's view is that
the.will of the people, if properly ex-
pressed, is the determining factor in
an election. He states: "The law
would indeed be impotent if in a muse

were deprived of their franchise, no

Mr. Spence was asked.
"The returning officer has them
and they will be sent to the County
Court judge with the judge's order
and a remit will be proceeded with
which will include the disputed bal-
lots in accordance with the order."
"It is said that Mr. Spotton intends
taking his seat in the House, that he
has been gazetted and is entitled to
it?"*
"The gazctting is merely a minis-
terial act and on receipt of a new
return, should Mr. King be declared
elected, these will soon be rectified.
The recount must be made by Janu-
ary 7 and there is ample time to get
the matter squared away. As for
Mr. Spotton taking his seat in the
House. I hardly think that he will do
that. If he presents himself it will
be a matter,. for the privileges and
elections committee. We are not
worrying about the outcome. The
desire of the electors of North Hur-
on has been made quite evident. They
elected Mr. King and I think there
is no doubt as to the final outcome."
Enquiry at Osgoode Hall failed to.
reveal any notice of an appeal.

Base Ball Players Moving.
Three members of the Stratford
Bards—Jack Youngs, pitcher; Ken.
Peckham, first baseman, and George
Burling, outfielder—have departed
for St. Catharines, where they will
play in the Niagara and District Base-
ball League next summer. It is re-
ported that "Dingo" Haines, who was
with Brantford last year is going
back to Goderich.
Paying State Taxes.
Every Canadian who burns Penn-
sylvania anthracite ought to remem-
ber that in doing so he is contribut-
ing toward the taxes of that state.
Pennsylvania derives a tax from ev-
ery ton of coal mined, and it is not
to be wondered at that Governor Pin-
rhott is anxious to settle the strike.
Some day Canadians will insist on
getting coal produced in the Domin-
ion.

The Coal Question.
Last week The Post received a sir-
cular from a big bituminous coal
company, giving instructions how to
get best results from burning soft
coal in stoves and furnaces. This is
but one example of the way the bit-
uminous companies have been im-
proving the opportunity opened to
them by the strike of anthracite min -
era. Other substitutes for Pennsyl-
vania anthracite have been pushed
with vigor, and people who thought
that they could not get along without
anthracite have learned otherwise.
'One result of the strike will be the
permanent diversion of millions of
dollars' worth of business which
formerly rolled into the coffers of
the anthracite companies.
Do your Christmas shopping now
and you will avoid the crowds in the
rush hours.
