The Late Robert Stephenson.—We
made brief reference last week to the
death of Mr. Robert Stephenson, but
the following from a Varna corres-
pondent will be of interest to the many
friends of the deceased. We are sorry
to have to report the sad and sudden
death of Mr. Robert Stephenson, . of
sRAFeirril, Friday, March .14, 1919 the Goshen Line, which took place at
his home on Tuesday the 4th instant.
SOUTH HURON LIBERALS
A representative gathering of the
be it elements in Liberalism in the pro-
vineial riding of South Huron attended
the convention held in the town hall,
Heneall, Wednesday afternoon of last
week. It was a get together meeting for
the purpose of discussing Lib-
eralism in relation to the probIema
a the day in the province and Domin-
ion; anol to consider the nomination of
a candidate for the Legislature.
The heaviest roads of the season
which rendered motoring practically
impossible and driving difficult, inter-
fered with the attendance of delegates
front the municipalities in the riding
most remote from Hensall to such an
extent that it was decided to postpone
the nomination of a candidate until a
meeting at which there is more bal-
anced representation, and when the
weather will permit of more women
delegates attending.
While some of the municipalities
had practically their full quota of dele-
gates, others were represented by only
three or four,
Opening the convention with a brief
addressi the president, John Essery of
Centralia, made touching reference to
the passing of the great Liberal chief-
tain, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, stating -that
one of the first duties of the convention
when constituted ehould be to pass
resolution of sympathy to be forward-
ed to Lady Laurier. A welcome was
extended to the women delegates, the
speaker expressing pleasure on be-
half of the men over their presence,
signifying as it did their co-operation.
The resolution re Sir Wilfrid was
brought in by R. E. Pickard, seconded
by "Alexander Mustard of Brucaled,
as follows:
at was with deep- pain and megret
the news of the sudden death of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, for so many years the
hanored leader of the Liberal party in
Canadai, was received by the Liberals
of the provincial riding of South Hur-
on. Knowinghis vigor, notwithstand-
ing his advancing years, and his strong
grasp on public affairs, his -undimin-
ished keenness of intellect and of
vision, his devotion to the causes of
promoting. the interests of the Do-
minion of Canada, and making its
people a strong, united people, we had
hoped that he would be spared for
years to carry on his work of leader-
ship and the rebuilding of the nation in
the reconstruction period.
"Meeting in convention in the vil-
lage of Hens.all this day, Wednesday,
March 5th„ 1919, we, the Liberal As-
sociation of the provincial riding of
South Huron, do take this opportun-
ity afforded of placing ourselves on
record as deeply regretting the death
of our honored chieftain and feeling
thereby a genuine sense of loss to the
cause of Liberalism 4nd to our coun-
try at this trying period in its history,
"We desire to convey to you, Lady
Laurier, our profound sympathy in
your great sorrow and irreparable
loss.
Though no names were mentioned in
the cenvention e in connection with
h candidature, several were referred to
outside the session as possibly in line
for such honors among these Harry
Smith .of Hay township, president of
the South Huron (Dominion) Liberal
Association; T., Shillinglaw, Tucker -
smith, secretary of the South Huron
(Provincial) Association; F. W. Glad -
man, Exeter; Richard Selden, Exeter,
and S. Kellerman, Dashwood.
iThe fact that there was a large at-
tendance of non -delegates from the
town and surrounding distriet, was
taken as an indication of a lively in-
terest he Liberalism. Had the roads
been in good condition, there would
undoubtedly have been an attendance
which would have filled the large hall
to its capacity,
J. C. Elliott, M. P. P. of Glencoe,
and Miss Isabel C. Armsirong, second
vice-president of the Western Ont.
Liberal Association, were scheduled to
give the addresies of the convention.
Mr. Ellett was unavoidably absent, and
R. E. Pickard consented at a moment's
notice to step into the breach and
speak on the subject of the -tariff, one
Of live interest to the farmers. Fre-
quent and most sympathetic refer-
ence was made by several impromptu'
speakers during the afternoon to the
United Farmers' moment, a number
of the speakers being indeed, members
of the United Farmers' erganization
as well as ardent Liberals. Attention
was drawn several times to the fact
that the platform of the United Far-
mers is practically the platform of
the Literai p_arty, and- that the ob-
jecte of the farmers in organizing in
order to promote the interests of the
basic industry of the country, &m-
in, are the objects Which in the past
the Liberal party has endeavored to
achieve on behalf a agricultural in-
terests,.

A
ord as to Shoe
Prices
Scarcely a day passes but we are asked the reason shoes are
not cheaper now that the war is over. A word or two regarding
Prices may be of interest to our; customers as well as the general
public. In, the -opinion of shoe manufacturers, the country over,
there will be no appreciable decline in shoe leather prices for a year
at least if at all.
The situation may be sumraed up this way: "'Shoes cannot be
cheaper till labor and materials entering into them are cheaper;
materials cannot be cheaper till the labor producing tirain is cheap-
er. Labor cannot be cheaper till the cost of living becoMes cheaper,
and the coat of living cannot be cheaper till commodities are cheaper
as the cost of commodities affect the price of labor. So after all
the situation resolves itself back to a parallel of the old mooted
question; Which was first; the chicken or the egg."
.ConseqUently, when buying shoes for Spring, don't look or ex-
pect lower prices as no dealer can deliver the goods unless he sacri-
1 fices quality.
' Buy Good Shoes; Shoes of Dependable Quality and Workman-
ship: Such are the Shoes we have to offer you. We are at your
service.

The Late Robert Stephenson.—We
made brief reference last week to the
death of Mr. Robert Stephenson, but
the following from a Varna corres-
pondent will be of interest to the many
friends of the deceased. We are sorry
to have to report the sad and sudden
death of Mr. Robert Stephenson, . of
sRAFeirril, Friday, March .14, 1919 the Goshen Line, which took place at
his home on Tuesday the 4th instant.
SOUTH HURON LIBERALS
A representative gathering of the
be it elements in Liberalism in the pro-
vineial riding of South Huron attended
the convention held in the town hall,
Heneall, Wednesday afternoon of last
week. It was a get together meeting for
the purpose of discussing Lib-
eralism in relation to the probIema
a the day in the province and Domin-
ion; anol to consider the nomination of
a candidate for the Legislature.
The heaviest roads of the season
which rendered motoring practically
impossible and driving difficult, inter-
fered with the attendance of delegates
front the municipalities in the riding
most remote from Hensall to such an
extent that it was decided to postpone
the nomination of a candidate until a
meeting at which there is more bal-
anced representation, and when the
weather will permit of more women
delegates attending.
While some of the municipalities
had practically their full quota of dele-
gates, others were represented by only
three or four,
Opening the convention with a brief
addressi the president, John Essery of
Centralia, made touching reference to
the passing of the great Liberal chief-
tain, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, stating -that
one of the first duties of the convention
when constituted ehould be to pass
resolution of sympathy to be forward-
ed to Lady Laurier. A welcome was
extended to the women delegates, the
speaker expressing pleasure on be-
half of the men over their presence,
signifying as it did their co-operation.
The resolution re Sir Wilfrid was
brought in by R. E. Pickard, seconded
by "Alexander Mustard of Brucaled,
as follows:
at was with deep- pain and megret
the news of the sudden death of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, for so many years the
hanored leader of the Liberal party in
Canadai, was received by the Liberals
of the provincial riding of South Hur-
on. Knowinghis vigor, notwithstand-
ing his advancing years, and his strong
grasp on public affairs, his -undimin-
ished keenness of intellect and of
vision, his devotion to the causes of
promoting. the interests of the Do-
minion of Canada, and making its
people a strong, united people, we had
hoped that he would be spared for
years to carry on his work of leader-
ship and the rebuilding of the nation in
the reconstruction period.
"Meeting in convention in the vil-
lage of Hens.all this day, Wednesday,
March 5th„ 1919, we, the Liberal As-
sociation of the provincial riding of
South Huron, do take this opportun-
ity afforded of placing ourselves on
record as deeply regretting the death
of our honored chieftain and feeling
thereby a genuine sense of loss to the
cause of Liberalism 4nd to our coun-
try at this trying period in its history,
"We desire to convey to you, Lady
Laurier, our profound sympathy in
your great sorrow and irreparable
loss.
Though no names were mentioned in
the cenvention e in connection with
h candidature, several were referred to
outside the session as possibly in line
for such honors among these Harry
Smith .of Hay township, president of
the South Huron (Dominion) Liberal
Association; T., Shillinglaw, Tucker -
smith, secretary of the South Huron
(Provincial) Association; F. W. Glad -
man, Exeter; Richard Selden, Exeter,
and S. Kellerman, Dashwood.
iThe fact that there was a large at-
tendance of non -delegates from the
town and surrounding distriet, was
taken as an indication of a lively in-
terest he Liberalism. Had the roads
been in good condition, there would
undoubtedly have been an attendance
which would have filled the large hall
to its capacity,
J. C. Elliott, M. P. P. of Glencoe,
and Miss Isabel C. Armsirong, second
vice-president of the Western Ont.
Liberal Association, were scheduled to
give the addresies of the convention.
Mr. Ellett was unavoidably absent, and
R. E. Pickard consented at a moment's
notice to step into the breach and
speak on the subject of the -tariff, one
Of live interest to the farmers. Fre-
quent and most sympathetic refer-
ence was made by several impromptu'
speakers during the afternoon to the
United Farmers' moment, a number
of the speakers being indeed, members
of the United Farmers' erganization
as well as ardent Liberals. Attention
was drawn several times to the fact
that the platform of the United Far-
mers is practically the platform of
the Literai p_arty, and- that the ob-
jecte of the farmers in organizing in
order to promote the interests of the
basic industry of the country, &m-
in, are the objects Which in the past
the Liberal party has endeavored to
achieve on behalf a agricultural in-
terests,.

A
ord as to Shoe
Prices
Scarcely a day passes but we are asked the reason shoes are
not cheaper now that the war is over. A word or two regarding
Prices may be of interest to our; customers as well as the general
public. In, the -opinion of shoe manufacturers, the country over,
there will be no appreciable decline in shoe leather prices for a year
at least if at all.
The situation may be sumraed up this way: "'Shoes cannot be
cheaper till labor and materials entering into them are cheaper;
materials cannot be cheaper till the labor producing tirain is cheap-
er. Labor cannot be cheaper till the cost of living becoMes cheaper,
and the coat of living cannot be cheaper till commodities are cheaper
as the cost of commodities affect the price of labor. So after all
the situation resolves itself back to a parallel of the old mooted
question; Which was first; the chicken or the egg."
.ConseqUently, when buying shoes for Spring, don't look or ex-
pect lower prices as no dealer can deliver the goods unless he sacri-
1 fices quality.
' Buy Good Shoes; Shoes of Dependable Quality and Workman-
ship: Such are the Shoes we have to offer you. We are at your
service.
