THE LIMIT OF CREDULITY
He disbelieved most things he read,
He doubted what the scriptures said,
Be questioned history's written
pages,
He mocked the words of ancient
sages,
Skeptical of all the news,
Dubious of official views.
"I know far better," he averred,
"You cannot fool so wise a bird."
Yet he, as credulous as a jay,
Believed what he himself did say,

Up in the Port Arthur country
1581 men were at work taking out
pulpwood. Agitators, said to be
Communists, got among them and
there were several strikes followed
by interference with the men who
were willing to work. The camp was
closed and the United States pur-
chasers notified that the contract
could not be completed. This inci-
dent gives one an inkling as to the
reason why the old man still sticks
around the corner—ie is afraid the
boys have not yet learned the les-
son. Ordinarily a man who does
not want to work does not mind .oth-
er fellows whrking, but this does
not apply to labor agitators.
Sir Philip Gibbs says modern in-
ventions have done nothing to bring
the races together. A. friend' who
follows them says it is utterly im-
practicable—that it would only clut-

Am,eriean delegates say they have
a program which they will present

per moment we surmise is when they
have decided what the program is.
The battle that is most generally
celebrated -in fact the only battle
that is celebrated year by year
was an insignificant affair as com-
pared with Waterloo, Gettysburg or
any of the major engagements of
the Great War. If measured by the
"butchers bill", as Wellington
thought Englishcen were wont to
do, the battle of the Boyne must
have been disappointing, for the
vanquished lost only fifteen hundred
'nen and the victors five hundred.
But it was decisive in that it put an
end to James' attempts to win back
the throne with Irish and French as-
sistance.
Although it is celebrated only by
Orangmen yet the fact is that
the news of James' defeat was re-
ceived with joy at the Vatican, bei
cause it checked the ambitions of
the King of France. It was celebra-
ted in Paris too but for another rea-
son, viz, the false report that Wil-
liam had been killed by a cannon
ban. The little battle started a
whole train of celebrations and the
end is not yet.
King William was a curious char-
acter. He was dull, ni)srose, phleg-
matic, asthmatic. He was unpopule
ar in England because he spoke
Dutch and surrounded himself with
Dutch advisers and favorites. In
field and camp he was a different
man—no sign of sickness, alert, en-
ergetic, his eyes aflame with the
light of battle, Sarsfield said the
Irish and French would have won if
they could have swapped leaders.
James, on the other hand, was In-
ept or unfortunate whether in peace
or in war. He saw nothing shame-
ful in the circumstance that he was
among the first to bear abroad the
news of his own defeat.

What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAP PENED DURING TWg LAST DW
CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY?
From The News-Rerord, July 5th,
1893:
There was a very large turnout
from Clinton at Goderich last Satur-
day. (Dominion Day.)
Rev. Mr. Holmes, the new pastor
of Rattenbury street Methodist
church, arrived from Stratford last
'week and was tendered a reception
Thursday evening.
Sunday's thunderstorm and rain
'was very acceptable in this section.
The grass had been suffering from
the extreme heat and the grain and
root crops generally were in need of
rain.
About twenty-five Clintonians
took in the Brussels races last
Thursday, among them W. W. Far -
ran, I. Rattenbury, L. Kennedy, Dr.
Shaw and J. Beattie.
The new organ for the Rattenbury
street church arrived yesterday.
Last Friday afternoon the schol-
ars infour rooms of the Collegiate
Institute presented Miss Hume with
eight books of George Eliot's works
and a book each of Cowper's and
bSSouthey's- poems. The presentation
was made by Miss Hattie Rumball
and a complimentary address read
by Stewart Plummer. Miss Hume
has resigned her position in the Col-
legiate.
One of the most sad duties The

quietly here; five rinks of bowlers
'went to Seaforth, and those who re-
niained at home enjoyed themselves
on the green.
Those who were writing here on
the Entrance - examinations g+ot
through on Friday night. • There
were thirty from ,Clinton, twenty-
five from outside. The examiners

The stretch of macadam road
built in Clinton last year has turn
ed out to be so satisfactory that the
street committee began yesterday
to build from the hospital to the
postoffice. Chief Wheatley is bos-
sing the job and with the experience
of 1907 will be able to do even more
satisfactory work. Mr. W. G. Smyth,
chairman of the committee, is also
giving much time to the work and is
determined that the ratepayers will
get value for the money that is
being expended.

Charlie went in for a bathe
while his cousin Russel remained on
the bank. On entering the water he
was imemdiately carried to a hole
and sank to rise no more in life.. • •
every known means was resorted to
revive the boy, but all to no avail.
... The funeral was held en Monday
and was very largely attended. The
sympathy of the whole community
goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews.
Mliss Jennie Robinson is dead. The
news flashed over the whole town
and countryside Monday afternoon.

What Other Newspapers are Saying
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE what His Royal Highness did all day
Under the monetary system of to- long, ,''clueing the reading of bun-
Under
there is not enough money, by
an enormous amount, to handle the
'normal volume of trade. Indeed
there is not nearly enough to handle
the greatly sub -normal volume of
these depression years. Business is
therefore forced to use credit in its
operations. Under our economic
system laws have been so devised as
to place a monopolistic control of
credit in the hands of a comparativ-
ly few institutions, and these insti-
tutions are privately owned and con
trolled. Under such control credit
is readily available at tines when it
is not absolutely essential—at least
not essential to the same extent as
it is available. Conversely, under
the same control, credit is not avail-
able when it is absolutely essential.
The result is such economic crashes
as we are now experiencing.
It does not seem to us that the
Christian church would be over-
stepping the limits of its proper
sphere if it should work for the
betterment of human living condi-
tions, and a reform of our monetary
and credit systems is vitally neces-
sary to such betterment.

The Prince of Wales had a, birth-

what he had for his dinner. Don't
Princes get something special on
their birthdays? Incidentally, the

HYDRO IS TOO' IMPORTANT TO
BECOME POLITICIANS'
PLAYTHING
The iinportance of electric power
to Ontario and to Canada is shown
by a bulletin sof the Federal govern-
ment, which contains the information
that, despite the economic situation,
the amount of electrical energy used
in the Dominion last year was 15,-
347,218,000 kilowatt hours, an in-
crease of 243,387,000 kilowatt hours
or 1.6 per cent. compared with the
previous year.
The bulletin points out that elec-
tricity is rapidly replacing steam
power in Canadian manufacturing
industries. Steam as a generating
force is passing out of the picture.
Of the 35 principal manufacturing
lines, the latest returns show that
eight are 90 per cent. electrified and
27 have a ratio of more than 80 per-
cent. Two of the highly electrified
industries are the automobile and
the castings -forgings industries.
Hydro power has meant a great
deal to Ontario, where there is no
supply of coal and where a huge
industrial life could not well have
been built up if we had to depend
upon coal imported from other pro-
vinces or countries. According to
this bulletin, manufacturing indus-
tries in Ontario contain more elec-
trical power equipment and a great-
er motor capacity than any of the
other provinces.
The tremendous importance of Hy-
dro to the province is often relegat-
ed to the background and instead we
read so much criticism of some of
the work of the Hydro Commission.
Sir Adam Beck may have been too
enthusiastic in his vision of the uses
Hurrah for the Women's Institute! to which Hydro could be put—we
know now that he was in error in
seeking to establish a network of el-
ectric radial lines which would have
been ruined by the competition of
motor cars r and buses—but
e these is
no doubt that the visor, of "the Hy-
dro Knight" made possible the
de-
velopment of an enormous amount
of electrical energy in Ontario,
which has been of great benefit to-
home
ohome owners, storekeepersand man-
ufacturers. It is therefore to be re-
gretted that Hydro is being made a
political football—that it is not run
on a business principle which would
set it aside from the strife sof party
welfare, and, in short, that • politi-
cians ever got mixed up in something
which should be conducted for the.
good .of Ontario, and entirely dig
vorced from party influence.

GOLDEN RULES FOR HOLIDAYS
FROM A NURSES' JOSRNAL
The holiday season . is near and a'
multitude of preparations for it are•
already under way. The "Nursing
Mirror" offers some excellent ad-
cellent advice intended more parti-
cularly for nurses but applicable al-
so to the rest of the community. A.
holiday must be stimulating and it -
must whet the appetite with a spice •
of adventure. Physical exercise is
essential, but the "Nursing Mirror" -
has this to say about it.
"The soundest rule to remember is •
to be careful for the first few days;
in our enthusiasm at our new free-
dom we climb too high, wallc too far,
swim too long, dance too late, and'
oven eat too heartily, and some of
our precious days are spent in re-
covering. In nursery days we can
all remember the tiresome rules
which restricted our paddling on the
first day at the seaeside, or enforced'
a rest out of the hot sunshine after
lunch, but it is perhaps a pity they•
are not more studied by the adult."'
There is one other piece of advice
offered by the "Nursing Mirror"
which is well founded but is too
often neglected. Sleeping in a new
bed every night is not the surest
way of obtaining refreshing rest. It
is better, therefore, to .combine the
tour with some days spent in one
place, drinking in light, air, and
sunshine, and not having to hurry
to catch trains and reach new towns-
-Mail and Empire.
