SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
--It is said by those who have rea-
son to know, that eighty per cent. of
the foremost leaders in all the walks
of life in America, came from time
rural districts. If that has been the
ease lu the past, how much more like-
ly is it to be in the future, when
young people have the increased ad-
vantages of the present day, unknown
and unavailable in the earlier days.
--The Suffragettes in the old land
have behaved go badly that some of
them have been put in prison. There
they refused to eat, and resolved to
make martyrs of themselves to arouse
sympathy for their cause. But the
trick does not seem to wurk out well.
The prison authorities laid the gentle
creatures on their backs, held them
down, and forced food into them
through a tube, so that the process of
breakfast resembled a sausage -making
contest. Of course the sweet-faced
and mild-mannered ladies resented
this stuffing process. And these are
the angelic beings, whose advent into
the political arena was to make it like
unto the garden of Eden for loveliness
and an unrippled sea for calmness.

—The Dominion Parliament is called
to meet November llth, We hope
that Sir Wilfrid Laurier will be
thoughtful of the• feeble occupants of
the Senate desks, and not overburden
them with work. Of course, if any of
them should collapse under the pres-
sure of the work, there might be found
others willing to take up their ardu-
.ons toil. But the sight of the poor
chaps collapsing beneath the burden
of the session's work would be very
affecting, and then to think that this
rich country only gives them $2,500
for all their toil, and'only six or seven
months of holidays in which to recup-
erate their spent energies. Yet with
all the hardships of the position, there
is always a scramble for the position.
But (says one) why write eo much
about the old duffers ? Not because
"we love them so," but hoping that
some day this excrescence on our body
politic will cease to be the useless
thing . it is, and either be completely
removed, or ."refdrmed" in some more
effective• way, than by the death of
some of its members, and the partisan
appointment of others.'`-
* * *
—Word comes from the old ,land
that the approaching general election
there will be, it is feared, the hardest
fought and most riotous election ever
known in England.' One of the main
issues is the Budget, which aims to
tax more heavily the estates of the
rich land owners, some of the Lords
holding from eighty to a hundred
thousand acres and even more. An-
other issue is the demand by the Suf-
fragettes for the franchise. We, in
Canada, have been told that if women
entered the political arena, their in-
fluence would be so benign and grace-
ful, that it would soften the asperities
ofa political contest, and make every-
thing so sweet, etc., etc., and politics
would be immediately lifted to a high-
er plane. Imagine our surprise now
to be told that because two hundred
and fifty thousand women are to take
part in this election contest, it is ex-
pected to be the most riotous ever
- known. There are seven distinct or-
ganizations of Wornen there, and as
some are opposed to the Budget, oth-
ers will seek to defeat the government
and others will endeavor to defeat any
candidate that will not 'favor giving
therm the franchise, a genuine hot
time is sure to'rosult. If a quarter
of million women don their war paint
and enter a political contest, especial-
ly if they adopt the Suffragette meth-
ods that have already caused spme of
them to be jailed, there is sure to be a
lively election,
rir*
--What a farce in many instances
are election protests. Generally, as
soon as the elections are over, there is
a great outcry and many protests.
After a lot of surplus gas of this kind
has escaped, a few of the chief work=
ers get together to do the "saw -off"
business. In this stage the question
of the purity or corruptness of the
contest scarcely enters into the con-
sideration. It is rather—"how can we
save this man, or that riding. We'll
let yours stand, if you won't push the
protest against us." A few are left
to go to trial, and in some eases, the
Wale are farces. Per jury has become
so rampant, that it is in many crises
impossible to get at the truth, and
the case ie dismissed, not because the
election was Olean, but because the
corruption, thottgh known to exist,
coula not be proven, because of the
utter unreliability of witnesses. What
a cornnlentary on our Christian civili-
zation.! Take the recent West Peter -
hosts election trial, and the revelations
of What men will do are sirnply as-
tounding, Of Conscience, one men
have none, and an oath to them is of
no more value than a feather. Then

tests drag their tedious way tei the

A FEW FACTS.
1,—Wingham's greatest present
need is pure water, Some wells may
be all right ; many others ante not.
2, --In a town as old as Wingham,.
the soil cannot fail to be impregnated
with decaying vegetable matter and
sewage. These find their way to our
water supply, and are favorable for
development
o f the typhoid bacilli.
3. --Whenever the Council makes an
effort to provide pure domestic water,
a few ratepayers delight in defeating
the project ; the results in many
homes is disease, heavy expense and
in some cases, death and mourning_
4.—The Advance is prepared to
stand by the figures it presented a
short time ago, as to the fact that the
proposed system of pure water would
not have added anything to the •tax-
ation of the general ratepayer. We
gave the figures, and challenged con-
tradiction. No one contradicted them,
They still stand.
5.—Our income from the present
system of waterworks is about $L700.
6.—There are about 500 families in
town within easy access of the present
system of mains If we had pure
water in these mains, and each of
these families would take the watery
the Council could afford to give each
family all the water.
they could use
for $3 a year. This would produce
$1,500, which added to the present
revenue, would make $3,200, or an
amount equal to ten per cent. on the
investment. This would not only pay
all the water debentures, but leave
a good surplus to lessen general tax-
ation,
7—As it is, our homes suffer ; our
business men lose trade; the expense,
account in scores of homes• increases
by leaps and bounds, while here and
there death snatches away from the
home, those who under right hygienic
conditions might be spared to their
home and friends.
8—And yet we go on in the same old
rut, and vote down every effort to im-
prove the conditions. "What fools
we mortals be!"
We believe there is :a remedy. It
might be considered drastic and would
require a Council fully awake to the
necessity, in order to apply it.
Brit why does the Advance say so
much on this subject? Because we
have the very best interests of Wing -
ham in view. That is the only rea-
son.
Here is an example of a progressive
place :—Bridgeburg is a village near
the Niagara frontier;. with a popula-
tion of 1,500. Five years ago, the
Council installed a system of':Tater-
works thetas now self-sustaining:: On
.,Monday` the property -owners voted. by
a. good, majority to instal a sewersys-
tem. All this in a village of 1300 or
1500 (at the outside) of population.
Such places are .progressive. They
keep up with the procession, and
strive to make it attractive, pleasant
and healthy for people to go there to
live. Wingham has some .lessons to
learn yet along these lines+. We hope
the experience necessary to teach
those lessons may not Ise too severe.
Wingham Public School Board.
This Board met in regular session
on Tuesday evening ; members all

utes of September meeting were ap-

friends, but a kindly -disposed person
gave him refreshments and advised
him to lead a better life than he has
been leading.
The Editor Won.
Editor Dunlop; of the 'ress; Neep-
awa, Man., knows his business: When

council appealed to the county judge,
he won again, the judge declaring
that municipal councils are public
bodies and have no right to sit in
secret session without showing good
cause for •so doing.

Leaving For Hamilton.
This week, St. Paul's Church loses
another of its valued workers in the
departure of Mr. E. Nash for Hamil-
ton, where he has, secured a situation.
He has been very active in all branch-
es of Church work, being a member of
the choir, Superintendent of the Sun-
day School, and a worker in the vari-
ous societies of the Church. On Tues-
day, a pleasant evening was spent at
the home of Mr. and Mrs, 0. G. Van -
Stone by the Sunday School workers
of St. Paul's• as a sort of farewell to
Mr, Nash. Brief addresses were given,
expressive of regret at the removal of
so esteemed and active a worker. Mr.
Nash replied to these in his usual
modest manner, and referred to the
pleasant associations he had enjoyed
with his fellow -workers in St. Paul's.
The evening passed very pleasantly
with games, etc., and a hearty vote
of thanks was tendered Mr. and Mrs.
VanStones for their kindness.

For Preserving Eggs.
The United States Agricultural de-
partment gives the following method
of preserving eggs:—Filr an earthen
or water -tight, wooden vessel with
the eggs. To one part of water -glass,
also known as soluble glass and silicate
of soda, add ten parts of tepid water,
stirring the water thoroughly and
slowly into the water -glass. When
the resultant mixture is cold, pour it
gently over the eggs, using sufficient
to immerse them. Three pints of
water -glass and thirty pints or fifteen
quarts of water will generally cover
fifty dozen eggs. Keep the vessel cov-
ered and in a cool place.
