Hon. Arthur Meighon. In Winnipeg, Isaac P;t- hledo, K. C„ who was at one. time offered the Liberal leadership in Manitoba, and on the stump has been a bulwark of strength for the Liberals, announced. that he will sup- port Mr. Meighen. Ile has given reasons. They are sound, sensible, practical reasons which will appeal to every Canadian. They are as fol- lows: "I am a supporter of Hon, Arthur Meigiien and his Gov- ernment for the following rea- sons: "Firstly—Because I believe that the main issue before the erectors to -day is .the tarif, and, personally, 1.feel that the tariff policy of the present Govern- ment is the only safe one for us in Canada to -day. Without a seasonable protective tariff in this critical period in our history,,, . our industries will languish, our workmen will be out of employ- ment, •outs' natural resources will remain undeveloped, and more that all, the development of Can- . acla as a destined nation be re- tarded materially. I do not wish to see the industries of Canada destroyed, and her national pros- perity. impaired. "Secondly—Because I believe that the present Government has under most difficult condi- tions, honestly, conscentiously and fearlessly • endeavored to ileal with the many vital prob- lems which 'we have to face be- cause of war conditions. I see no Amason to expect any better solution of these problems tut, der W. L. Mackenzie King or Me, Crerar. "Thirdly—Because of my per- sonal admiration for the prem- ier, Rt. Hon. Anthur Meighen. I admire his ability, his honesty of purpose, his courage, his fear- lessness, and his frank and 'out- -spoken statement of the policies of his Government. I believe that -the mainspring of his ac tions is an unselfish desire to -advance the best interests of Canada as he sees then, with no thought of personal advance- ment. I consider him one of Canada's noblest and ablest 50119."

Special scrvic•cs Were held in Knox Presbyterian church 011 Sunday last, the occasion being the eighty-first anniversary of Presbyterianism in this town. The Rev. R. B. Cochrane of Toronto was the special preacher. The history of Presbyterianism in Goderich dates back to the early thirties. At a session of the Estab- ilshed Church of Seotland it was de- cided in 1833 to make this place a preaching station, and Rev, A. Mc- Kenzie was called as pastor, Two other preaching stations, one In Stanley and the other in Tucker - smith, were includeerl in the charge. In 1842 the first steps were taken towards organizing a congregation. which then numbered some 50 mem- bers and in 1848 the first church ser- vice was held, with Rev. Alex. Mc - Kidd D. D., as pastor, and thechurch was known as St. Andrew's. In 1858 the start of the present church Was made and opened in 1861 and Was known as the Canadian Presbyterian Church. In 1875 the two churches united under a joint pastorship of Rev. Dr, Ure and Rev. ,lames Sleveright, The churches at Colberne and Goderich Township were opened' at the sante time. In 1878 the church, which had prospered, enlarged its edifice and adopted the envelope system. The organ was in- troduced for the first time in 1879. On the resignation of Dr, Ure in 1890, Rev, James Anderson, whe was assistant pastor, assumed the charge until his death in 1910. Knox Church has made a remarkable growth in its church work. Its pres- ent membership numbers some 650, with. about 500 adherents. Rev. C. R. McDermicl is the present pastor. HEADS NAMED FOR ONTARIO POLICE AREAS Mr. C. Beckett, Owen Sound. to have charge of Bruce, Grey, Huron; Perth, Wellington, Waterloo and Duirerin, The .. first ,o big step • in connection with provincial poilce re- organization was taken by the On- tario Government last week when it aproved of plans for the di- vision of the province into eight dis- tricts, and put through orders for no appointment of six of the eight district ins:peetors who will be in charge under thc•,Commissioltgr of Police.

Is her develop- rent to surpass that of any other nation? Shall her manufacturing industries develop her minerals and raw materials into im- plements and goods for the benefit and comfort of her people and for foreign trade? Shall she become a self-contained nation within thea Empire, her great railways interchanging, the products of factory and farm among her own people, and her ships sailing every sea? Stull she mriintain her integrity within the Em,ine and protect her farms and factories against unfair competition from foreign Countries? IF THIS IS• TO BE CANADA'S DESTINY THEN CANADA NEEDS MEIGHEN. • On December 6th, Canada should once again protect her farms, her factories and her workmen against the unsound theory of Free Trade, and should hold fast to her reasonable Protective Tariff, her national entity and her British connection.' On December 6th Canada should declare with no uncertain voice that she will not tolerate the false trade, theories of visionaries and group leaders which tend toward her economic destruction, toward the separation of her people and tate weakening of the ties that bind Canada to the British Empire. On December 6111 Canada should demonstrate unmistakably to the outside world her fixed deter- mination to keep Canada for the Canadians.
