A. white house doctor thinks an
autopsy should have been held on
the death of ex -President Coolidge.
He does not suggest suspicious cir
cumstances,'but no doubt it does'not
seem resaonable.to him that a man
should die when there was.no doctor
in : attendance.

They were giants .. in those days
when George R. Gray won world'
championship as .a shot-putter.•There
were Donald Dinnie, Duncan C. Moss,
Gideon Pennie, E. W. Johnson, Rory
McLennan and others' whose names
we do net new retell. Each, was a
champion in one class or Several,
broad jump, high jump, hop, teen and
jump, vaulting, wrestling; tossing
the caber, putting the stone, throw-
ing the heavy hammer. George Gray,
who died recently at Sault. Ste. Marie
was the last 'of those athletic heroes,
and the most fortunate in that he
lived longer and had a successful
career in industry and finance. Rory
McLennan had also a successful car-
eer outside of athletics. He became
a ' wealthy railway contractor' and
was M.P. for Glengarry. 'Probably
his prowess in throwing the heavy
hammer helped his political advance-
ment in Glengarry which was then
peopled Ify stalwart Highlanders like
himself. Except at Braemar, Scot-
land, those Caledonian games are no
longer held. In Canada they had
their day and ceased to be.

Judge Stubbs complains that his
case was prejudged. It was, and by
no' one more than himself: •

Gaelic is a classic vehicle for male-
diction, and the campaign in the
Irish Free State would be exciting
were it not for the fact that to be
understood the orators have to des-
cend to the language of the ancestral
enemy.

There is a suspicion that inmates
of penitentiaries know What is going
on in the' world, but if they do why
'are they so eager to get out?
t
Calvin Coolidge was lucky in his
political career. His presidential
term was marked by what was
thought to be unexampled prosper-
ity. The unlucky man was his suc-
cessor. The storm broke when he
was little over a year in office and
has been raging around his head
is being 'reaped in Hoover's. One
got the praise, the other the blame.
And one was as much entitled to the
praise as the other' is to the blame.

It would be more seemly for Crom-
well to keep out of this election, cam-
paign in the Free` State, but the .his-
toric fact'is that after his death Oh
ver lost his head.
On;the night of. January 25th, all'
over the 'English-speaking world.
there are festive parties, celebrating
the birth, of a bard,' No birthday':
anniversary but one Ss More gener-
ally celebrated. He was not a great
poet like Shakespeare or Milton and
muralists still deplore his internper-,
oince and his'amours and wish he
had been •a different sort' of man.
But if he had been, do' you suppose
those : jovial, respectable gentlemer,
in evening clothes would be sitting
around tables eating haggis to which
he dedicated a toast, drinking an am-
ber liquid'to which he dedicated sev-
eral, and singing his love lyrics or
his songs, martial or baechamaliani?

J. C. Stevenson was elected chair-

If you think otherwise, try to qr•
gauze a party to 'celebrate the birth
of Wordsworth or Tennyson, .Long-:
fellow or Bryant, excellent poets who
led correct lives: The, first thing
you would have to do is to look up
biographies to ascertain the, date.
And it is no answer to say it is the
clannishness of Scotsmen trying to
glorify a fellow -countryman, for they
could not do it for a greater man of,
letters than -Burns - Sir Walter
Scott. No, it is because he was what
he was, and not in spite of it. He was
poor, he loved liberty, he hated op-
pression and he fought with a say:
age sorrow, as Voltaire did with ser•
clonic glee, in France, the social and
ecclesiastical tyrannies, of his time
And except for one brief blaze of
glory, he *as neglected if not de-
spised. Perhaps posterity has been
trying ever since to make up for the
neglect of his. contemporaries.

One 'of Canada's best poets, the
late R. K. Kernighan (The Khan)
wrote an appreciation of Burns in
which these two lines appear:
"The spirits of his heroes' before his
shrine keep watch;
He leavened all the nations and
civilized the Scotch."
Scotsmen can laugh . at jokes at
ever since. But the wind was sown their own expense. Laugh that one

What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties
From The New Era, Jan.27th, 1893:
THE STAVE'LY ESTATE: We
understand that 'a writ has been` is-
sued in ,connection herewith 'asking
for an 'administration £or, the estate
by ,the court, on behalf of the On-
tario' 'Governm.eht.
A NEW OFFICE: The New Era
expects to` enter upon a new era of
its existence this year by the- erec-
tion of a' brick building that will ler
better adapted to its growing 're•
quirements than the one which has
so' long rendered good service. We
will admit that the building' we are
in does not owe us much, but it has
answered its purpose well.
ORGAN NOTES: The Clinton
Organ factory has just put in a
handsome church organ for the
Glencoe Methodists, with pipe top.
The company has just closed a 'con-
tract for forty organs. -
TRIFLES: Tuesday and Friday
were the first real fine days enjoyed
for two weeks.
A dressed hog was brought into
Wingham on Tuesday which brough'
the scales down to 825 pounds. A
hog like that is more valuable than
an ordinary horse at the present
time.
The present winter resembles that
of fifty years ago; in the winter of
1842-43 there was sleighing from
November 24th to April 15th, and it
was continuously cold with the ex-
ception of a slight thaw in January.
Mr. Jas. Flynn, has been nursing
one of Job's comforters on his neck
and has found it anything but com-
fortable.
There is a tremendous weight of
snow on some of the roofs in town•
Nearly forty of the county coun-
cillors passed thriigh town on Tues-
day, there being only about fifty-,
one altogether.
Rev. W. W. Sperling and Rev. J
Galloway, 'former pastors of Ontario
street church, were present at the
funeral of the late Mrs. Whitehead
last week.
We have not yet heard the name of
the person who will start a pork fac-
tory
ac
tory here but surely some enterpris-
ing citizen will do so.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAP PENED DURING Wee LAST DE-
CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY?
From The News -Record, Jan. 25, 1893 tempts the boys to hang on sleighs.
Messrs. Cole and Town last week The practise ' has become altogether
too general. . . The practice on
the streets of Clinton should be pro-
hibited altogether and steps in thin
direction cannot be taken too soon.
As high as $8.30 per cwt. has been
paid for pork in Meeforal lately.
NEWS NOTES: The falls of Mont -
shipped five cars of evaporated ap-
ples a to Hamburg, Germany.
THE TRIGGER:1 Messrs. Blackall
and Grigg took part in the great
shooting tournament in Hamilton
last weplc. There was a large at-
tendance and some of the best shots
in Canada and the ,United States morenci, Quebec, were last 'week
took part. J. E. Blackall helped to frozen solid, something that has new.
advertise Clinton by demonstrating
that he was one of the best shots on
the ground. The first prize, $200,
was won by J. Parker of Detroit
with a clean score of 21., Blackall
figured in the twenties, near the
top of the list and captured $71.25 in
cash. Grigg made a good showing
early in the match but 'did not suc-
ceed so well toward the close. He
captured about $40. •
• HORSE TALK: We hear that
Mr. J. L. Doherty, the Centre Huron
Stock Farm trainer,- has bought
front Mr. Thomas Walker his two-
year-old pacing filly. The animal
is by Onward King.... She is said
to be a natural pacer and J. L. thinks
she is good .enough to enter the 2.30
list as a two-year-old.
,
• Good Friday falls 'on March' 31st
this -year.

LOCAL SHOTS: Meesrs. J. John-
son, Hovey Cole, Wallace' and Grigg
were' ion Parkhill, on Thursday , and
took part in the 'live bird shooting
matches there. The birds were a
good average let and the shooting
was good. There. were ten out of
, ten shot down.. The scores made by
the above gentlemen stood Bovey,
9; Grigg,&; Cole, 6; Johnson, S. •
HANGING ON SLEIGHS: We
mind quite well when. we were boys.
'And now when we' are men we' like
.to seeour. boys 'and girls • elijoy
themselves: This fine '.Canadian
bracing. weather' and, goad sleighing
er been known to occur before.

WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY
WAS YOUNG
From The Now Era, Jan, 24th, 1908:
LOCAL NEWS: There were hi
town on Tuesday afternoon three
prominent parliamentarians: Hon.
George Graham, M.P., Brockville.
Mr. Peter McKenzie, M,P., South
Bruce and McLennan, M.P., N. Sim
coe. Messrs. Graham and McKenzie
were on their way to Seaforth where'
they 'spoke on Mr. McLean's behalf
Tuesday evening.
Our good friend Mr. John Ransford
spoke in Exeter the other night in
the interests of the Conservative
candidate. As he is quite capable of
making a good speech 'en any occa-
sion, we assume that he did so on this
one, and the fact that. the Conserva-
tive got fourteen votes less this time
than was given at a previous elec-
tion must not be charged to our good
friend's speech. In fact we have it
from the best authority that had Mr.
Ransford hot spoken there the prob-
ability is that Mr. Horton's majority
wouwas.ld, have been still less than it
BANK CHANGES; On Saturday

Canada ceased to exist; its business

'a candid world' will be thought of ur
if we now insist upon collecting tri-
bute from our friends which will
impose taxation on them Sc crushing
as to be equivalent for enslavemen'
for a generation? It would be to

have America for an enemy than fo•
a friend, Prom the point of view
of the equities of the case, there,

called a just debt? We have every
legal right to demand it, but from
the higher point of view, have we e

"ONE THING IS CERTAIN'. IF
SOME ONE ON APRIL 4, 1017, HAD •
BEEN ABLE TO GIVE US OUR
CHOICE AS TO WHETHER WE'
SHOULD RATHER GIVE UP'
FREELY AND FOR ALL TIME
$5,000,000,000 IN MONEY OR GIVE
UP THE LIVES OF SEVERAI.
HUNDRED THOUSAND OF OUR
SONS, THERE WOULD HAVE
BEEN NO HESITATION AS TO
OUP CHOICE. FATE, HOWEVER
WAS THE ONE THAT DETER-
MINED THAT CHOICE. It deter-
mined that Great Britain and France
should give up the lives during that
first year and that we should fur-
nish, not our blood but our money;
taking, in place of it, the promises to
pay of our Allies. No other policy
at the time could have been followed,
I grant you, but now that the war is,
behind us and we can take a long
look back, is it wise for us, is it
just, is it generous net to make seine
compromise of this matter?"

they're safe ! 99
Joe Griffin and his wife had doubts
about letting the children go to
school that morning. Every sign
pointed to a blizzard and sure
enough, about two o'clock, it broke.
A terrible storm.
Joe was terribly worried and sa
was lois wife. Then lie thought of
the telephone. Ile called Jim Stokes,
who lives just down the road from
the school and asked him to watch
for the children.
Twenty minutes later Jim called
bad:. He had the children in his
kitchen, safe 'and warm. "I'm cer-
tainly thankful we've got a tele-
phone," Joe said. "We
couldn't do without
it," his wife agreed.
