The War
There is still very little war news,
and that little is not too encourag-
Qat the black side there is the
downfall of Poland, and what. Rus-
sia has done and may still contem-
plate doing.
And on our side there is the state-
ment. of Mr. Churchill that not one
Allied boat was sunk by an enemy
submarine last week. And what is
still better, there is an ever increas-
ing confidence exhibited by the peo-
ple
ewple in the old land, and a quiet de-
termination to make the very best of
a very bad job.
The same war clouds hang over
Canada too, but happily we are
showing no signs of the jitters. And
why should we?
There is plenty of war talk, of
course. And very learned talk, some
of it too.
There are plenty of Commanders -
in -Chief, and Admirals and States-
-sawn, and Prime Ministers, and Par-
liamentarians, and strategists and
other experts loose in the land, but
we really don't have to Iisteii to
them. And why should we?
CromweIl's advice: "Trust in the
Lord and keep ,your powder dry,"
was very profitable advice to his
Ironsides, and might well be adopt-
ed by us. At least it would lighten
the burden that is sat heavy on the
shoulders of the men Who have been
placed in the positions of responsi-
bility.
The men who really know and are
in a position to learn the actual needs
of our own country, and those of our
Allies are doing a tremendous work
and to date doing it extremely well.
Giving them silent support and trust
is about as good a way of showing
our loyalty as any, and would have
a much less disturbing effect on the
nerves of the Canadian people..

A New Ring
A short time ago Seaforth tele-
phones were changed over to the
common battery system, which has
done away with the old system of
cranking a phone when a connection
with central was required.
It is an up-to-date.labor saver and
puts us in almost the same class as
the big city fellows. It is handy too,
or at least it will be after we get us-
ed to the change and stop feeling
'.round for the crank of the bell,
which isn't there any more.
After The change the BeII Com-
pany installer n e w equipment
throughout the town, and this equip-
ment includes a very much smaller
box and a new set of bells.
The telephone equipment is more
compact now and less conspicuous,
but the trouble is that all the phones
have a different ring from the one
they used to have.
In fact we don't know the tele-
phone bell now when we hear it. It
has such a different sound. And it
seems much worse with the house
phones. And the housewives are
worried a bit. They might be miss-
ing something_
But it will all right itself in time.
Already every strange noise in the
shouse makes one think of the tele-
phone, and one rushes to pick up the
receivers And, when we pick up the
receiver, central is right there to
ask us what we want, when all we
really want is not to miss anything.
We get a lot of extra conversation
t way, but we imagine there is
te a bit of it that is mighty tire-
the operators. But that, too,
ht itself. Before long we will
to recognize the telephone
what it is, and nothing else.

The Canada Temperance Act
By a decision of the Supreme
Court of Canada handed down last
week, Huron County is under the
Canada Temperance Act.
In theory that means that while
the importation of liquor for per-
sonal use is within the law, the sale
of liquor, for any purpose whatso-
ever, is illegal.
In practise, however, we are very
much inclined to the belief that con-
ditions will remain pretty much as
they are. That beverage rooms, as
they are now situated, will continue
to operate and sell beer and wine for
beverage purposes as they have
been doing since the Ontario Gov-
ernment adopted us and moved us
over from the dry column into the.
wet, without consulting the elector-
ate about the matter.
And we are of the opinion, too,
that conditions will remain that way
for quite some time, as the Supreme
Court decision was not unanimous,
one Judge out of the five dissenting.
And that one dissenting voice opens
the way for an appeal to the Privy
Council, should the Government so
desire.
And the Government does, for
shortly after the court decision was
announced, Premier Hepburn de-
clared his intention of making such
an appeal. As is well known, deci-
sions of the Privy Council are not
made in haste, consequently it is
well within reason to expect that a
year or more will elapse before the
C.T.A. vs. government controversy is
finally settled.
if, as and when that happens and
the decision goes against the Gov-
ernment, as it is confidently expect-
ed it will do, it would, perhaps, be
advisable for the Temperance Fed-
eration to rest there, and not try to
alter the situation again.
It will be remembered that o ice
before Huron County was, legally
and beyond dispute, under the Can-
ada Temperance Act and that it re-
mained there until the temperance
forces transferred it, also without
consulting the electorate, under the
banner of the Ontario Temperance
Act, and thereby, on the repeal of
the latter Act, opened the way for
the Government's claim that the
county had come out from m under the
Canada Temperance Acts
All of which may be true. Or, per-
haps, to more correctly state it, it
was taken out from under the Can-
ada Temperance Act. The difference
being the unsettled and unsatisfac-
tory conditions of today, plus the un-
certainty of Huron's position, and the
costly litigation that position has
entailed upon the general taxpayers
and will continue to bear upon them
for quite some time to come.

Open Season For Weather
Prophets
The open season for weather
prophets is already here. The first
one to make his appearance being
Stanley Cloud, an Indian fishing
guide of the Kettle Point Reserva-
tion, which is quite near at hand.
Stanley bases his predictions on
the southern flight of ducks and
geese. And ducks and geese, he says,
are not making their migration trip
this year—yet, while last year all
the ducks and geese had successfully
evacuated the north and reached
the south by the end of the first
week in October.
All of which means, according to
Stanley's reckoning, and he has, he
says, made a study of such things
for many years, that we are going to
have a mild, late fall and a fine open
winter.
And that leaves a nice warm feel-
ing with everyone—except the coal
men, of course. At least, for the
time being. And then we suddenly
remember that this part of the coun-
try always did have 'a fall and win-
ter, and more or less real ones too.
So it stands to reason that if we
don't get our real fall weather be-
tween September and December,
and our real winter between Decem-
ber and March, that we are going, to
have our fall in the winter, and our
winter in the spring.
And that doesn't send any glow of
warmth or enthusiasm through any-
one, coal men again excepted. But
the season is early yet, even for
weather prophets. We will have a
lot of different kinds of thein and a
Iot of different kinds of weather be-
fore this time next year,.

CANADA'S HISTORIC
YESTERDAYS
Armes the illusion concerning our
count,is tlhe impression that Can-
ada, is an entirely new cpuutry with-
out historic background.
True, the Canadian, West as we
know it today is of comparatively re-
cent origin but even so, you will sea
nilaniy evidences ole aotiiviity and of
life two or three hiulntdir'ed years ago_
Theeatablisbunent of a Hiatoric
Sites and Monuments Board working
in., oonjunotion . with the National
Parks Bureau was one of the steps
bakerp to memorialize our brief but
powerful past. The Board's work con-
si,stts of examining and marking plac-
es of interest like Indian earthworks,.
farts and villages, trading posts and
areas identified with the long strug-
gle for the possession of Canada. •
Since the inception of this work la
years ago, more than a thousand sitea
have been carefully considered and
more than three hundred, have been
judged to be of sufficient national im-
portance to warrant their being main-
tained and suitably marked with a.
bronze tablet.
Among ,the outstanding hist aria
aites preserved and maintained by
tbe National Parks Bureau is the
Fortress of Louuisbourg on Cape Bre-
ton Island.
Fort Beauneejour, New Brunswick,
is one of the (most interesting !hiator-
ieal sites in the Maritime Provinces_
The tore was originally constructed,
by the French as a counter -defence
against Fort Lawrence, whiech stood
en a parallel ridge about a mile anti
a halt to the southeast. The ald
fortifications, both Eng7is'h a n di
French, are in a good state of pres-
ervation, and the site holds much or
interest to students of early Acadian
hiatory.
Historic Fort Ohambly, in the Pro-
vince of Quebec, has an epic -past go-
ing back to the year 1609, and has
been carefully restored.,
Fort Wellington, at Prescott, Ont.,.
was, when finally completed in 1838, -
an impressive object commanding a
magnificent view of tae St. Lawrence
River, and is visited annually by
thousand's of people from many coun-
tries of the world, while in Manitoba,
Fort Prince of Wales was built op-
posite the town of Churchill to en-
sure England's control of Hudson
Bay. Its ruins, which are among the
most interesting in Canada, are being:
carefully preserved
Warlike episodes, .however, are not
bhe only ones worthy of perpetual re-
mlemtbrante. "Peace bath herr victor-
ies no less renowned than war." At

a tablet commemorates the laying of
the final submarine telegraip'h cable in.
America. In Halifax, a tablet marks

memorial designates the western
terminus of Sir Alexander Macken-
zies transcontinental journey. Simi-

Man Of The Week
Farsightedness and judgment are
said to be the two particular quali-
ties that won for Loritng Cheney
Christie the top flight post ip: Can-
adta.'s Diplomatic Service, Minister to
the United States. Chri,stlie goes to
Washington this week, at a time
when the greatest importance attach-
es to ail relations between the mem-
'bens of tlhe British Comnonwea.lth
and the United, States, and when the
drive of the war pushes industrial,
.commercial and political relations be -
tam Canada and the United States
to an importance and magnitude nev-
er reached before.
Study of Chrietriee career sheet
gives one the uncanny ,impression
that the wihole thing must have been
piaininied from the beginning with the
tbouglht ,in mind fitting him today for
the patrticular job that has been giv-
en him in this particular war.
Bonn in Amihenst, Novm. Scotia, in
1885, Christie was educated in bhe
Nova 'Scotia Public Schools and ma-
triculated from Amherst Academy
far Acadia University, where `he took
his B.A. He would not have been
dreaming then of how important to-
day is an unidenstanddnrg of the Press
in Washington, but perhaps no de-
gree letters that trill atter his name
will serve him better than the fact
that he spent his university vacation
days as temporary editor of The Am -
beret Daily News!
Christie went down the coast to
take .his LL.D. at Harvard University
Law School, wthene in, 1908-09 he was
editor-in-chief of . the Harvard Law
Review.
His that ,law practice was in New
York City with the famous firm of
Winthrop and Stismeson, still under
the influence and tradition of its
former distinguished senior member,
Eliilhru Root, probably the finest inter-
national lawyer America has ever pro-
duced.
In U. S. Service
Christie as the young Harvard law
student had gat George Wickersham
to write an article for the Harvard
Law Review, and the victim must
hawe liked the youthful' editor. In
airy ease, whicih Wiokerssiham do 1910
ats Atttorney-Generali, of the United
States under President Taft met
young Christie one 'day in the Win-
rtihmop and Stimson office In New
York, he took him out to lunch and
asked him to come down to Wash-
ington and: work for bion.
Christie reminded! Mr. Wickersham
sthait he was a Canadian. However,
shortly afterward, undaunted by tlhe
question of clbizenship, Itir. Wickers-
ham produced; a posit for which at

pertinent of Justioe and from 1911 to ,
1913 was actually assasstanrt to the
Solicitor General, lids work being
wholly cd a professional non-political,
character.
One of his most treasured memor
ilex is the close friendship with the
late Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, which he was privileged in
those days to share with a small cir
ole of men in, Waslhnrgton.
