Not that Parliament .is too proud to fight -it's too tired. An early spring has ,sent the M.P.!s thoughts a-Maying. His mind is not on his work -it is not on work of any kind. Along with the rest of a war -weary world, Parliament is slack, stale, stuffed with idleness. Even if the Government gave Parliament some- thing to fight about -which it doesn't -there isn't a fight left in it. ft ought to be all over by the Queen's birthday. The Opposition isn't fighting as briskly as one might expect from an army with a King to lead it. They had counted on a tremendous naval programme as the result of Admiral Jellicoe's visit, but when first Lord Ballantyne brought down his modest proposals that ground was cut from under their feet. One light cruiser e and, tvvo destroyers -.-gift ships at that -can hardly be called a heaoy naval for six thousand miles of sea coast. It's a guarantee of good faith toward the British Empire -simply that and nothing more. If we want- ed a real coast guerd we would be going in for soinething a good deal nacre extensive. Timid persons complain that this navylet of ours may grow from year to year until it beconies Canada's Old Man ef the Sea -.a backbreaking load -but they reckon without the na- tional debt which will keep us too busy paying interest to go in for fal-lals like a navy. Mr. Ballantyne sums it up with a smile when he says "All that's left of the navy is the tot of rum." 'And Mr. Rowell may stop that. The /opposition, did a little quizzing on the subject of a permanent naval policy but the Government refused to be drawn. Their silence would seem to indicate that the questiorris years , in the future. As a matter of fact the Minister of Marine made a clean job of it -and the Admiral went with the shovel. We are promised "an officer. of much junior rank" and a navy that won't be sizes too big for him. This is as it should be. Nobody -- except perhaps Mr. Rowell -believes that Canada.'s future is on the water - at least this generation. And where - ever our future may be it's a sure thing that our present ought to be on the land -getting people on the land who will be -cheerful taxpayers and give us a revenue adequate to our needs. With some reluctance --because they would have liked something to 'hang an argument on -the Opposition adrhits that Mr. Ballantyne did the right thing about the navy, did it in the right way ‘and with courage, Al- though the Laurier navy has languish- ed ever since the Borden Govevrnment came in, it languished at considerable expense, ate its appropriations with the appetite of a tape ,worm and col- lected a great deal of fat -particular - lea about the head. The department adcpmulated a lot of culls who drew big salaries and did nothing. The British brains we borrowed -at a good swinging figure were supposed to be good enough for a navy whose proudest boasts were the Niobe and Rainbow, ships that seldom put to sea without hunting for the bottom. The Niobe was always as full of Water as the weeper she was mimed after and as for the Rainbow she leaked like a sieve. These gallant ships which were never dangerous to anybody but the crews that sailed them now find a safe home in the junk heap. • Mr. Ballantyne deserves somethirig More than faint praise for his pluck in defying deputy ministers, head clerks, navel experts ' -- the whole crowd of obstructors and special pleaders -and abolishing at one swift stroke the heaped-up uselessness of eleven years' camouflage as a Can- adian navy. The only way was to abolish it -fire 'em all -take back the good ones --begin over again and be- gin right. No Bones to Pick Here The Franchise Bill is another dis- appointment. It is built to please. If there's a casus belle in it, no matter how small, the Government promises to remove it at a inoment's notice. Mr. Guthrie was pulling no bluff when he invited the House of pounce on any "Joker" . and rend it tooth and nail. True it is there were some doubtful clauses about aliens but they were probably introduced as artistic, verisimilitude. If the bill looked o� fair the Opposition might suspect it. These teeth will be drawn, not per- haps because the Government is full of loving kindness toward persons of foreign birth, but because members of Parliament, East and West, and on both sides of polities, need them in their business. Some of our legi- slators would have no career ahead of them at all if it were not for the alien vote. This is the invincible fact which assures our alien fellow -citizens of a square deal in the next Franchise_ Act. The war slackers too -they will probably get off with disfranchisement for one election. So far as this coun- try is concerned the war is over and we are sensible enough to realize that it is poor business to follow up old grudges. Besides the party managers ave decided that the solid Quebec is to split in 1922 and they don't want to do anything that will interfere - with the splitting. It is a matter :for satisfaetion that Parliament leaves the principle of the Franchise Act to the provinces. That is to say it allows each province to shoulder its own foolishneSs and if one of them sees reason again and decides that women_ shall- remain wo- men instead of becoming voters, there will be nothing in the Federal Fran- chise Act to obstruct the good work. Mr. Meighen has a little bill on the side to enfranchise Indians, but as Poor Lo doesn't seem to want it the bill may be lost in the shuffle. )ven at that the Indians would probably have more mature views on the tariff than the noisy girls whose chief grievance against man is that he has left them behind. Meanwhile the In- dian does not like the vote -the last statesman he rallied to being the Hon. Dr. Montague who sent out a letter signed presumableaby Queen Victoria asking her little red children to plug for the Conservative party. Some Other Fire Extinguishers Leader Rowell Is not saying much this session and that in itself takes a lot of fight out of it. Mr. Rowell has discovered or some kind friends have told him, that his words, however mild, are as a red flag to, the bull. No answee of his is soft enough to turn away Opposition wrath. In fact the softer it is the harder he gets hit. The best course is silence. Sil- ence may be ominous but it is, not contentious. Outside of tabling hn occasional treaty or proniising that the Sultan of Turkey will address the Canadian Club, Mr. Rowell has little to do -a state of things which. satisfies everybody except Mr. Rowell with whom speech is a fever. Mr. Rowell has been wisely silent en most matters and the result is seen in the most peaceful Parliament we have had in five years. It irks him of cout e. He is as unhappy as a grand ope tenor with a tight collar and an un- sympathetic audience but think of the harmony! The sweetest silence of all is on the liquor question. Mr. Rowell is the demigod of cold water. Did, I hear somebody say demagogue? It doesn't matter. The main point is that he isn't starting anything among the demijohns. aust to show how absent the fight- ing spirit is I recall the fact that the Speaker wishing to put on a little lugs in the new building kicked th,e press gallery and the Senate out of the members' lobby the other day and nobody raised a finger. Not one member whimpered. Not a solitary chirrup -though to speak up for the freedom of the pressewas to win the love of eight hundred newspapers scattered far and wide over this fair Canada of our. What a chance was missed there to get in strong with the Opinion Molders Union!____ H. F. G.

N. Morritt, of Hullett, the marriage 'ceremony being performed by Rev. McCormick, Blyth., assisted by Rev. Button, Walton. WhileMr. A. Skelton played Lohogrin's bridal chorus the contract- ing parties took their places beneath an arch of evergreen. The bride who was preceded by the groom and flower girl, was given away by her father. She was beautifully attired in a dress bf ivory satin and Georgette, trimmed with embroidery and beads,_ and car- ried a bouquet of white bridal roses and maiden hair fern. Marjorie Mor- ritt, niece of the groom, made a pretty flower girl. She carried a basket of sweet peas. The bride was the recipient of many useful and beam: tiful gifts among which was a chair received from the lifIethodist Church, Walton, of which she was organist for several years, , also a substantial cheque from her parents. The gifts of the groom were, to the bride, a pendant set with a pearl in an onyx gem; to the flower girl, a wring; and to the pianist, a tie pin. The happy couole left on the 3.45 G. T. R. for London, St. Thomas and points south. The bride travelled in a blue serge suit with hat to match.

The Kelly Circle. -The April meet- ing of the Kelly Circle held in the basement of the Church on April 1st, proved to be 43ne of the most interest- ing meetings of the year. Besides the regular work of the society the president, Miss Jessie Aikenhead, gave a -more than interesting account of the Presbyterial held in Stratford the closing days of March. The W. M. S. has made, progress along all lines of their work during the past year, in members, increase of giving and interest shotirn in the work. All addresses emphasized the importance pf the Forward Movement, taking the stand that whatever makes us better Christians makes us better missionary workers. The Circle is fortunate to have a President that could take home such an excellent account. We were all interested in the reading of an address by Miss Margaret Aikenhead, and a presentation by Mrs. Arthur McQueen of a life membership certifi- cate to Miss Edythe- Bowey, our last year's President. Miss Bowey has been orie of our best members, join- ing when. the sOciety was organized, never missing a meeting if at all pos- sible to be there, and holding all but one of the important positions in the Society. As a result of the effort made during March eight new mem- bers joined and after the meeting a' social time was enjoyed, and lunch served at which the presence of our minister added an extra enjoyment. The special Easter offering brought us $27, with some envelopes net yet in.

Died In Scotland. -Old time resi- dents in this vicinity will regret to learn of the death of Mr. John Doig, Which occurred at his home in Thorn- hill, Scotland, recently. Mr. Doig was an uncle of Mi. Robert Doig, of Tuckersmith, and a nephew of the late Robert Doig and Mrs. Robert Bell, Sr., of Kippen, and a cousin of the latetalohn Doig, Sr., of Tucker - smith: He was a clever, well educat- ed man; and was a splendid type of Scottish, manhood. He visited rela- tives here a number of years ago. The Stirling Observer, of Thornhill, Scotland, says: "One of the oldest residenters in Thornhill district pass- ed away on Sunday night, in the per- son of Mr. John Doig, Old To Deceased, who had reached the a vanced age of 84 years, was a son of Nr. James Doig, farmer, Borland, andtworked la his younger days with his uncle Mr. John Doig, Boquhapple. He had been retired for a good many years. He was a keen curler in his day, and was well known and highly respected. He was a member Of the Established church. Mr. Doig was predeceased by his wife about a year ago and he is survived by two sons." dotes. -Mr. W. 11. Johnston was this week attending the teacher's con- vention in Toronto. -Miss A. Sproat is spending the holidays with friends in Toronto. - Rev. Mr. McIntosh, of Brucefield, will conduct services in St. Andrew's church on Sunday morning. -Rev. Dr. Aitken was in Clinton on Tuesday last attending a committee meeting of Sabbath School workers for the purpose of. making arrange- ments for the holding of the annual summer school. These meetings which will be in session for a week or more will be held in Goderich, commencing on July 19th. -The following visitors were home for. over the holiday: Misses Helen and Mae McGregor, Messrs. Murray and Allen Fisher and Mr. Bert Fesken all of Toronto, Mr. Jas. Jorrott, of the Medical Uhiv,ers- ity, London, and Miss L. McClyshont, of London. -Good Easter services were held in our village churches on Sunday last. Rev. Dr. Aitken preach- ed in $t. Andrew's church and Capt. Edwards, of Seaforth, in the Meth- odist church. The choirs in both churches rendered excellent _selections which added much to the services. - This week we make reference to Mr. R. B. McLean celebrating his 70th birthday and it is rather singular to note there is not a grey hair in. his head. Not many at this age can say the same. Body Recovered, -Word was receiv- ed here by relatives last week that the body of John L. Aikenhead,who lost Jiis life in a sad drowning acci- dent last November, had•been recover- ed near Mount Clemens, Michigan. The funeral was held from his late home -in Detroit on Wednesday lust, the serviees at the home being con- ducted by the pastor of the Presby- terian church which he attended, and the Oriental Masonic Lodge had charge of the services at the grave. Many beautiful floral offerings from friends and business associates cover- ed the casket. The following fuether particulars are taken from the Detroit Free Press of Monday last: "The body of John L. Aikenhead, 152 Clair- mont avenue,•was recovered from the water at Rush's cut, near Mt. Clemens Sunday, more than four months after he was drowned during a storm on the lake, November 4th. The funeral will be held from the residence Wednes- day afternoon, Oriental Lodge of the Masons officiating. Mr. Aikenhead, who was sales manager for the Paige Automobile Company for Michigan, A. L. McCormick, also a member of that firm, and two others were hunt- ing in small boats on Lake St. Clair when a storm came up. John Smith of Mt. Clemens, Mr. Aikenheacl's part- ner in his boat, aleo was drowned when the craft was overjurned. His • , body has never been recovered. The • other two men, Mr. McCormick I and a Mt. Clemen's resident, reached 1 shore. The boat in which the men ; drowned had been riding, was found the next day. Sunday, David Hibbard, Julius Madou and Elmer Cottrell, of 'Mt Clemens, saw Mr. Aikenhead's , body floating near Rush's cut and i brought it to shore, where Coroner Sperlick took charge. All the per- sonal effects which the hunter carried / at the time of his death were found in his clothes. Mr. Aikenhead is sur- vived by his widow, Nina L., and three small- children, Robert and Catherine. He was 41 years old." HENSALL Briefs. -Our annual Spring Show, a full report of which appears in another column, was held on Tuesday afternoon last, and considering the unfavorable state of the weather and roads was well attended but nothing like as largely as if the roads had been good for motoring.

Dent, of London, is visiting her sister- in-law, Mrs. 3.1Sutherlandee-Mr. and Mrs. Roy White, of London, spent the week end with their parents. and with relathies'and friends in the village and vicinity. -A dental inspection of our public school and the schools as well in Hay and Stanley townships will be taken shortly and in this connection we believe that the Minister of Educe - ,tion has appointed Dr. E. S. Hardie, of this village to conduct the inspec- tion. -The concert given by the Ladies in the Methodist church on Tuesday evening last was well attended and a programme of vocal and instru- mental music as well as Of reading, was carried out by local talent, and very much enjoyed.

E.
