As one of the political parties
concerned mentioned, the eyes of
the Empire were on South Hur-
on during the recent by-election.
That this was so is demonstrat-
ed when one reads . in the daily
papers of the speeches being
made in England by Sir 'Herbert

out the South Huron 'result as

STEPHENSONCUP WON
BY WALTON TEAM
Defeat Egmondville in Fin-
al Game at Recreation
Grounds Saturday.
Defeating Egmonclville by a 2 to 1
score on Saturday to take .the round
4 to 2, Walton football team has won
the Stephernson Cup, emblematic of
the championship of the Huron Foot-
ball League for this season.- Satur-
day's game, played at the recreation
grounds here, was a much faster
game than the one fought out on
the Walton field last Tuesday after-
noon, despite the soft condition of
the field. Both teams played bet=ter-
eomibination as well as a cleaner
game. The game was also speeded
up by, the quick, sure and fair de-
cisions of Referee C.aarke of Strat-
ford, who handled the game, teams'
and 'spectators to everyone's satis-
faction.
The first period. with Walton
kicking against a strong wind, was
held scoreless,. 'Beth • goal tenders
made 'beautiful saves and the period
was a real exhibition of finerplays
and clean foothill, with no -"weak
spots on either team. •
In the second period the Egmend-
Ville team forced the play at the be-
ginnings Eginendville scored as the
Walton goalekeeper -misjudged the
ball, so that the one gearld that
Walton carried with them: to Eg-
mondville was tied up. Then begat)
a battle royal with the play center-
ing around Egovonsiville goal, which
was pierced twice by Stevenson and
Farquharson to make- the score 2-1
on the game and 4-2 on the round.

1VIANLEY
Several of our daily papers who
are supporters of the present gov-
ernment, in commenting on the de-
feat of Mr. Rader, the Conservative
standard 'bearer, said that they knew
from the reitset of the election that
as South Huron had been in the Lib-
eral column, it cophi not 'be won by
a Conservative. If they were so
sure or defeat, why did they not in-
sists on an acclamation for the Lib-
eral candidate and save the 'expense
of an ,election, when we need econ-
omy to help thedeoression? They
told as at the first C•oneervatists meet-
ing n Seaforth, "We are out towin
and we will win," on that flimsy poi..
icy of the Imperial Conference, which
was cloaked over by a vale of no
one inew the contents. But the vele
rlict was rendered accordingly and
there is nothing,in 'the ways of the
government to bring prosperity at
an early date, if the Conference has
to play its part. After all, It may
have been well to have had the vire
of the electors of South Huron to
change the tactics of the government
inthe future, to gain the confidence
of the electors of the D'oirerini'on of
Canada.

"Mr. 'No1)&1121 was a devoted

is a loss to this Parliament and to

any one class to whom honor is due
it is to the pioneers who built up
this country. Mr. 'McMillan exempli-
fled to a great degree the best quali-
ties of those pioneers from whence
he came.
'His interests were largely agri-
cultural but he was essentially a
people's man. He 'brought fine stan-

and he Was always ready to make
