OEIN ROBERTSON. -.-p Out of 647 municipalities in Ontario 553 are 'dry" and 294 'wet;" giving a majority of 259. A vigorous offensive is being pushed just now to hasten the pro- hibitory record so that every Provincial bar will be vetoed by next Dominion Day This will be quite a chore but the old logging bees and barn raisings were not the result of one man's work, but the of everyone invited to lift. united effort For financial reasonsit would appear from public statements, that the persist- ent and often undesired attention of Pastor Russell and his corps of helpers is likely to be curtailed. Often the zest is minified in a cause if -the salaries are cut in two. Our belief` is that many of the new (angled isms are short weight and lacking in the ring of the good coin. It is a poor exchange to give up gold for glitter or the No. 1 hard wheat for chaff. —.—p -- Copper famine is becoming so acute in Germany the Cathedral roofs are be- ing dismantled to obtain the. needed supply. Straws show the way the wind blows and our guess is that before many moons wax and wane there will be more than copper wanted by the Teutons and no man to give unto them. A storm has been brewing and when its full force is exerted there will be such an overthrow as the world has never seen. Right must triumph although it may seem to come with a dreadfully slow march. Gallipoli campaign while costly in both men and money has not been without a . goodly measure of success, The Dar- danelles was always considered a hard nut to crack, but the kernel to be ob- tained, when the job is completed, will be a world wide good. Lord K. of K. may silence the perssmism of a few. of the British M. P's: Some folk would change teachers every 0 months and preachers oftener if they had their way, „ '' o slow is nod nate but sometimesY gg P matured it pro- gresses. thework ' wellmato ed as is P gres es. s Would it not be a great note if the somewhat pugnacious ex -President Roose veli, of the United States, should join responsible post ¢nd assume a e theallies P as commanding officer at the front? It would not rquire a -very wide stretch of imagination to believe that such might be the case as his expression of opinion has indicated a line of procedure akin to this. A wart such as the titanic struggle in Europe, tries the mettle of the best tacticians and it need not be wondered at if tlieygrow discouraged or tired of the heavy strain. The armchair warrior is still alive and can give pointers to the best militarists of the day, but the lame feature of his gas is that be wont run the risk of getting within a hundred miles or so of where he wishes his plans to be put into execution. Doing is better than bluffing, "A living dog is better than a dead lion," Particular attention is given to the bill of fare provided for the dogs in China that are later to be eaten. A special vegetable diet is prepared that is supposed to add flavor and aroma to the flesh. Perhaps, better than all, these canines appear to be so contented that while possessing the barking faculty they rarely use it.. We were wondering if a few ton of that vegetable provinder could not lie procured for some of the bow - wows of this community. There are "Carlo's, Ponto's, and Rover's" round here that never appear to sleep at nights u but in profunda basso or high tenorput on free concert programs with endless encores. A turnip, administered in gen- erous doses, or a -few red pepper pods might whiten their flesh and remove their bark. The next best thing might be a boot jack or a shot gun. Riley has set a good example to "dry" municipalities who are negligent of their duty in seeing ,to law enforce- ment. Of course, they were driven to it by the open violations, possibly by their neglect: First the law breakers were rounded up in good style and penal- ties imposed that will prove to them the law is no farce, as they said. Secondly a Committee of resolute menwaitedon the Council and had a wideawake Constable appointed at $125 per year, whose busi. ness will be to see that the moral inter - esti are guardedi IIS, men .will flagrantly overleap statutes they need not be sur- prised if lovers of sobriety wake up to. demand their suppression. It is the busi- ness of every law abiding citizen to aid in the keeping of the law and if he shirks it or winks at the ratan who thinks he can play fast and loose with the "thou shalt nuts, he he neglects his duty and be- comes a party to the offence of the chief actor in defying the law. ., o.,,..,.a,.a _ by Messrs w,r., ,_.,-..i ..
