Toronto is introuble when its street cars are 'running they're always so crowded, Abut seems to be in even worse trouble -when they're not. "In its `Birth Colman' last week The Walkerton Telescope ran the slogan 'Boost the town you live in," It was a slip of the make-up man, :rind yet it wasn't too bad at that," -Hanover Post Its bitterest enemy would not ac- cuse The Goderich Signal of being friendly to the Union Government i . but even The Signal ire o tires f the con- stant nagging at the government with which The Globe fills its editor - Tial pages from day to day. • * * * * They have had tr'oubl'e with the :nurses • in the military hospital, Guelph ,because of their distaste for -performing certain work in the diet ',kitchen The old trouble about wash- ing the porridge pot, no doubt.

Is The Globe endeavoring to pave :the way for an amalgamation be- tween the Liberal Party and the U. F. 0. ? Of course we know "Sarkis is willin' "' but we have an idea there .are' a"•number of former Conserva- tives in the Farriers' Party who would stake tremendous objection to such a :betrayal of their good faith. q * * * Two Japs at a Portland, (Oregon), .gathering are reported to have .stooll -with bared heads while the band :played "How Dry I Anil" thinking it was the American national anthem. 'Wonder how it is so many Canadians 'fail to uncover when the national :anthem is being played or sung in Canada? It cannot be owing to any misunderstanding. • * * * * Mr. Andrew Hicks, M. P. P. for , 'South Huron and U.F.O. whip in the legislatuie, after conferring with :Hon, Mr. Raney, Attorney -General, -has withdrawn the statement, inacle at the London picnic a few weeks ago and repeated at Hensall later, regard- ing the offering of bribes to Ontario Legislators. His statement was based upon a remark made to him, by •'' Ir., Fox, member for South Essex, "which he, Mr. Hicks, misunderstood to mean that money had been offered to retard certain legislation, Mr. .'Fox denies that he wished to convey any such meaning and as Mr. Hicks shad no other grounds for his state- ment he has withdrawn it entirely. Such charges as those made by Mr. Hicks and Mr. Taylor of North Grey .are very disturbing to the public and should not be made without good grounds and being made should be followed up and those guilty of offer - Ing bribes, punished. Mr. J. J. Morri- son complains that deputations are constantly endeavoring to influence •the members. But that can hardly be helped. Any man or body of men de- siring certain legislation aro privil- eged to go 'to the Government aucl place their case before them. But • '.it is a very different thing indeed when anyone tries to "buy over" the votes of the members. Wo confess that we have more faith in human nature than to believe that this sort of thing is done very often. But =just now people are very unsettled; they seem inclined to think the worst of .their fellowmen and look with :suspicion upon almost everybody. It is not a good thing to get into " this state. The vast majority of the people in this •country are •just as good, just .as honest and just as honestly en- .deavoring to do their duty as either `i'"'r" you or I and we should be happier :and the world would be a lot pleas- anter to live in and would come much nearer being the kind of world we want it to be if we had more simple faith in each other. Most of us are just plain, unpretentious workers. We are not profiteering at anybady's and re/ l - w ,expense bah few are rofit- p Yp ,eering at ours, but most are, like our selves, endeavoring to meet their hon - ,est obligations and to make a decent living for their families. Sone one :said recently that most of the unrest .of the •tines was due to a "lack of good will," and there is perhaps much -truth in that. The man who loses -faith in his fellowmen is usually a -very unhappy man and, in nine cases ,out of ten is a useless one, also. The man who wantonly' destroys that :faith it taking a great responsibility. St. Helens Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Barbour of :Erin are visiting friends around St. o' ," ,Helens. Miss Della Cranston is spending a -few days at Georgetown, Guelph and .other points, Mr, Jas. Aitcheson, Sr., and Mr. Louis Grant left fora trip to Rock- wood and other places. Miss Mary Murray returned last week after a few weeks visit with friends in Toronto. Mrs, 11, Rutherford spent a few •days at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 0. Anderson.

Combe gave a short and .vivid sketch of 'Some of the great engagements in which the Canadians fought and won such great honour and glory. Cana- da *as brought to the forefront as a nation on account of the glorious part she took in the Great World War, and he very strongly endorsed the action taken by the Council' of the Township of Stanley, and con- gratulated the Reeve on the magnifi- cent ineinorial erected to the mem- ory of the boys who made the su- preme 'sacrifice, He then called on the Reeve to remove the two Union Jacks which veiled the monument, revealing the names 'of the honoured dead and the dates opposite when they gave up their lives for freedom and liberty of the world. The• speak- er said that these names would recall to the generations yet unborn the everlasting fame which was so grandly displayed in their great sac rifices. Rev, (Captain) McKegney was then called upon to perform the ded- ication, which was most solemn and impressive. In his address he, told of the many hardships which the boys had endured and how possibly for three or four days at a time they would have nothing hot for their steals and for sleeping at night old• cellars possibly partly filled with water or stud and very often fighting in the clay and marching during the night with but little and sometimes no rest whatev- er. These were the men who made Canada fatuous before the nations of the -world and whose honour we now are paying tribute that they night be so indelibly written not only in the history of the nation but in the memories of the citizens of this township that these names engraved upon the monument may be stamped upon our hearts that they may lead us to a higher life and to make greater sacrifices than we have ever made if need be to lift up humanity. He very forcibly pictured to us of the hospitals of the wounded, maimed and blind and of the many widows and orphans who must be taken care of as a result of this terrible war. He stimulated' us to a better life, to an unselfish service, to uplifting humanity, which was so exemplified in the life of the lowly Nazarene. Capt. Turl of Toronto, who repre- sented the G. W. V: A., then address- ed the audience. He stated he was pleased to be present on this occasion and it afforded him great pleasure though a stranger to speak on behalf of the soldiers on this important oc- casion. I•Ie congratulated the Reeve on behalf of the Township of Stan- ley for erecting such a memorial to the honour ofthe boys who wore now "though dead yet speaking" in thun- dering tones of the great principles for which they fought and died. He particularly described sont,o of the severest fighting the Canadians had done and of some of the tactics they employed to decoy And defeat the en_ emy. Especially did he mention, Mons, Ypres, Passchendael, where the ranks were mown down by hundreds and at once the gaps were filled. That owing to the great bravery and ex- treme determination - to break the lines of the Germans the Canadians clemohstrated that there was no f force could withstand their onslaught and that General Foil said "1f the Canadians can • do that we k can in bf'ea .. through the German lines and eventually win the MU'," which truly resulted in their overthrow, • j'ts conclusion Capt. Turf congratulated the Reeve on the tribute paid to the soldiers whose names were there engraved to perpe- trate the memory of these herons in long years to come and that we may carry •ar r outincl c the principles for which they gave up their lives in the name of the lowly Nazarene, He finally concluded by quoting with in- tense fervor the lines "From Flan dere' Fields" written .by a soldier who laid down his life for his coun- try. Mr, Doherty of Clinton then Selig a patriotic solo, Rev. Mr. Mac- farlane of Bayfield then addressed the audience in which he too express- ed himself as being highly pleased td be present at such an important occasion. Ho connnended highly the tribute to the memory of our soldier boys and thought it proper and right that their memory should be prepetuated for generations to come, and that we should -see that the principles for which they fought and died, should be held most sacred by everyone and that their sacrifices should stimulate us to 'higher motives, greater zeal and more unselfish service. Though friends of the deportee mourn yet they have great reasons to rejoice to think that their boys laid down their lives to save the nation and to bring such honour upon it that can never be forgotton. He said he would a thousand times sooner be one of them who are laid at rest than to be a slacker, RevDr. Aitken of Kippen followed. He said that as the soldiers were one fancily we ought to be. Ile pointed out that they were one, fought for the same cause, side by side, shared each others joys and sorows, why should there be so many different denominations, so many preachers within a radius •of some twenty miles, he asked. Much money might be saved and given to help the wounded, widows, or orphans when there was so much need for it: Christ set the example and why should we not follow it in endeavoring to relieve suffering wherever we may find it and surely there is much in our own land, to say nothing of our brothers overseas. He too congratulated the Reeve on the magnificent monument erected to the memory of the ''soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice. Rev. Mr. Wilson of Varna also spoke. He thought it was proper and right that some tribute should be paid to the boys who so valiently stood by our eoutry, He spoke par- ticularly of the great Providential deliverance at the Battle of Mons, where the angels stayed the great forces of the Germans who were ov- erpowering the British and French. He said God was in the battle to stay the enemy. He paid tribute to the great valor of our Canadian Sol- diers. He urged his hearers to con- secrate their lives to higher service and to cherish the principles which cost so many of our Canadian sol- diers their lives. The meeting. concluded with the singing of "God Save the King." Some of those present from outside points were: Col. Combe, Col, Rance, Major McTaggart, Capt. McKegney, Hon. Col. Dr. Shaw, and Mr. W. Bry- done, of Clinton; Mr. Wm. Palmer, Hamilton; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rathwell, Lucknow; Mr. John Mc- Naughton, and son Mr. Richie Mc- Naughton of London, and others.
