AN UNTIMELY ELECTION -
Weekly Sun.
The springing of a general election
for the Province, before the Legisla-
ture has run its course, and directly
after a prolonged Dominion campaign,
is cause for regret. It is a source of
disappointment also to those who ac-
cepted at its face value the declaration
of Premier Whitney that he was bold
enough to be honest and honest enough
to be bold..
The contest comes months- before it
was looked for; months before people
had prepared themselves by the study,
which accompanies the near approach
of a dissolution in the regular course to
pronounce intelligently on the record
of the Government; it comes at a time
when people are more than weary of
political discussion of all kinds; it comes
before the people have had placed
before .them a clear statement of what
a new and wholly unnecessary Govern-
ment House is to cost, before the pub-
lication of a promised report on the
exact status' of bi-lingual schools in
those portions of Ontario which have
been invaded from Quebec; it comes
on the eve of Christmas, at the most
inopportune time possible for the great
hnsiness interests of the country.
The Premier says $15,000 would be
spent in holding by-elections to fill
vacancies and this will be saved by a
general election. A much less sum
than $15,000 ought to cover the cost,
but even if it did cost $15,000 to hold
these by-elections, what of it? Fifteen
thousand dollars is a mere flea -bite in
comparison with what the business in-
terests of the Province will suffer from
having an election forced on at the
most unseasonable time in the year.
A September election was bad enough;
a December election will be infinitely
worse. It is a great pity the Legisla-
ture was not allowed to run its regular
course.

SIR JAMES AND TAX REFORM.
(Toronto Globe.)
After seven yearsin power SirJames.
Whitney will go to the country without
having done anything whatsoever to
improve the assessment and taxation
laws of Ontario. Session after session
he has been importuned to look into
the changes in the method of raising
civic revenue and in paying for civic.
improvements that are taking place in
every progressive country in the world,
But, with the immobility of a fence
post he stands where he always did.
His own political friends are in despair,.
for they suffer just as much under the
existing system as do the Liberals.
If anyone tells Sir James that the
cities of the Australian States and New
Zealand have largely adopted the prin-
ciple of taxing land values either ex-
elusively or more heavily than improve-
ment values; that in Germany the city
authorities control land speculation,
and in some cases, as in Ulm, own 80
per cent, of all the land on which the
it isbuilt;that y th it m Vancouvermunlclp-
al taxesare levied entirelyland i ...on and vat-
ues; that Edmonton is fast approxi-
mating to the same system; that in
Winnipeg improvements are taxed on
but two-thirds of their value and land
at its full value, Sir James mutters:
"Henry George theories." Henry
George was an American, and the Prem-
ier of Ontario would arparently rather
be cast into outer darkness than take
a hint from that quarter,
Toronto might become one of the
most beautiful cities of America by
getting for civic purposes a larger share
of the amazing increase of land values
in recent years. Does Sir James Whit-
ney know that since he came into office
the assessed land values of Toronto
have more than doubled, and that mar-
vellous as has been the growth of labor -
produced values in Toronto, the land
values, which are the result of no indi-
vidual's toil, but of the coming togeth-
er of great numbers of people in cities,
have increased even more rapidly?
Here are the figures: -
Year Land Buildings
1904 $ 62,993,916 $ 68,487,429
1905 .... .. 65, 386, 502 75,745, 400
1906 71,176,510 84,251,893
1907 78,611,850 94,364,028
1908 ..,88,090,155 109,428,668
1909 108,704,759 119,896,375
1910..... 130,121,732 132,380,862
1911143, 893, 362 144, 366, 730
The Government of Ontario has pro-
fited more than any other public body
or individual citizen from the growth
of Toronto's land values. The sale of
the old Parliament buildings, of the
Government House, and Central Prison
and Asylum properties must have put
from two to two and a half millions of
"unearned incre n ent" into the Provin-
cial Treasury. But while keenly desir-
ous of taking every advantage of the
growth of land values, Sir James re-
fuses the municipalities of the Province
the right to tax them more heavily
than improvement values. Why should
the Premier of Ontario favor local op-
tion in regard to the liquor traffic and
condemn the application of the same
principle to municipal taxation? There
is no reason except that a man with a
majority of seventy can afford to be
inconsistent and obstinate if he wants
to. The people of Ontario's cities and
towns should make their voice heard
on the question of tax reform when
the polls open.
oh. Gained 36 Lbs.
Mrs. George Bradshaw, Harlowe,
Ont., writes: "I was troubled for
many years with weak, watery blood
and dropsy. I had nervous headacnes;
dizziness and sinking spells, and was,
in fact, a semi -invalid. Doctors told
me my heart and kidneys were diseased
aha gave me up. By using 10 boxes of
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I have been
cured of many of my old complaints
and gained 36 pounds in weight.'
DEMAND THE SQUARE DEAL.
"If many of the electors of the town-
ships are so slavish to party that they
will not vote for Liberal candidates,
let them at least pledge Conservative
candidates to drop their slavery to
party, and to demand a square deal in
educational matters. The Conservative
members of the last two Legislatures
sat behind the Government, smallowed
their Convictions, and voted solid when-
ever the educational power, not, on but
behind the throne, said: 'Thumbs upl'
"Let the electors of the villages,
towns and cities in seven -eights of the
Province take an independent stand
with reference to the power question,
and they will get justice.
"Let the electors of our great north-
land unite, and regardless of party,
say emphatically that a sweeping and
comprehensive advance must be made
in dealing with the colonization of our
great hinterland; that this territory
shall not longer be compelled to play
the role of financial Milch cow, but
that Northern Ontario must have a
square deal. That plank of the Liberal
platform of 1904 was right which said
that this Provinee should have a Minis-
ter of Colonization and tabor. Com-
manding both viewpoints, he would
not bring undesirable immigrations
into unfair competition with skilled and
semi -skilled labor in our towns and

LOCAL NEWS.
An assembly was held in the new
Temperance Hall, on Wednesday even-
ing of this week, by the young people
of Wingham.
The Meyer block, in course of erec-
tion re
c-
tion i this town, is progressing rc id-ly. The stonework will be completed
this week and a considerable amount of
brickwork done.
Mr. S. Youhill, Real Estate Agent, of
this town, has sold through his agency,
part of lots 1 and 2, on Shute street
west, to Mrs. Helps; also sold Mrs.
Helps' late residence on Minnie street
to Mrs. Farfield.
Workmen are busylaying the slate
o Yt g
roof on the new Bank of Hamilton this
week. The building will be a very
handsome structure when completed.
The social in the Methodist parson-
age, on Friday night last, under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society,
was a grand success and every part of
the programme was splendidly carried
out.
Quite a serious accident happened to
our townsman, Dr. Macdonald, M. P.
for East Huron, on Saturday afternoon
last. He was driving along the 10th
concession of East Wawanosh, about
five miles from Wingham, when one of
the front wheels came off the buggy.
The horse he was driving being young
and spirited, ran away, throwing the
Dr, out, He held on to the reins fo
some time, but eventually let go, atter
being dragged a considerable distance.
He was found shortly afterwards by a
Mr. Johnston, in front of whose farm
the accident happened. Mr, Johnston
had him conveyed to his residence and
made as c mfortab e as possible, while
word was sent to town for assistance.
A number of our doctors immediately
left to give what assistance they could
and rlpon examination it was found
thathis left leg was broken and his
other injuries not serious. He was
conveyed to his residence the same
evening and is now doing as well as
possible. This is the third time the Dr.
has had the misfortune to have the leg
broken in the same place. We hope
soon to see him about again.
The new Temperance Hall, in this.
town, was formally opened on Tuesday
evening of last week, when Conductor

"Let the miners, for example, re-
gardless of party, insist that eight
hours' work underground, where there
is more or less impure air, is more
wearing on the human system than is
ten hours' work in the open, and there-

work should constitute a full day; let
him pledge all candidates to such a just

"Let the report of the Commission
as to the state of the bilingual schools
be published at once. Let us have the
actual facts, and tin we may discuss

Leader of the Opposition in the Provin-

HORSE VS. AUTOMOBILE.
A sporting journal reminds the pub-
lisher that much has been said and
written about the automobile pushing
the horse off the edge of the earth. It
is not the first time such talk has been
heard and such prophecies made. The
railroad engine was going to do it
when it superceded the stage coach;
the bicycle was going to do it and the
automobile has been doing it every day
since- it came into vogue. What are
the facts to -day? The horse is more
popular to -day than he was. There
are more horses in the United States
than there ever was, yet there is not
enough of them to supply the demand
and the value of all horses in the Uni-
ted States is greater by many millions
of dollars than all the automobiles, ac-
cording to recent government statis-
tics.
How is the automobile progressing?
It has been drivetyfrom, "Rotten Row"
in Hyde Park, the fashionable drive of
London. King ' eorge, of England,
decreed that no automobiles be permit-
ted in the great coronation parade and
as a consequence fashionable London
and wealthy Americans who wanted to
figure in the coronation pageants made
the demand for high-class carriage and
coach horses soar. A movement is on
foot in New 'York to bar the "buzz
wagon" from Central Park. It is not
allowed to stand in front of ' the great
New York stores longer than will per-
mit of unloading and loading its pas-
sengers. Leaders of New York society
began last winter to buy carriages and
coaeh horses at high figures and have
discarded their autos except for long
journeys. Everywhere more stringent
laws are being made or agitated regu-
lating its use. Recently in Chicago a
public auction of new and second hand.
automobiles Were advertised extensive-
ly, yet despite the eloquence of the
auctioneer, not a single machine was
sold; in fact not a bid' for one was re-
ceived. Yet the horse is in greater de-
mand and the prices higher than ever
before.
The body of Miss Violet Smith, the
lady teacher missing from Dillon's
Port, was found in the river,
APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN.
Thomas Carlyle tells us that the his-
tory of•nations is the history of their
great men. The two are inseparably
interwoven. Men of courage, ideals
and foresight, by qualities inherent and
acquired, become leaders in local and
national affairs, and shape the destinies
of countries. In a country of the com-
mon people, like Canada, no artificial
barriers exist that can prevent the
young man who wills to do so from
sharing honorably in public affairs.
•pportunities of service are not for
the dreamer, but for those who qualify
by doing common things uncommonly
well; not for those born with a silver
spoon in their mouths, but rather for
those who graduate through the uni-
versity of adversity,
There are two kinds of discontent.
One is of the grumbler, forever being,
as he fancies, "put upon", overlooked
and slighted; and the other, who, in
every lesson and effort of to -day, how-
ever trying, discovers something cheer-
ing and helpful for to -morrow. "I am
not kicking about my work, or my
hours, or my wages" says one of the
latter, 'but can I do tliis.task any bet-
ter? I want to understand this ma-
chine so well that, when something
goes wrong, I can act as my own ex-
pert. I wish to avoid another failure
in that grain field by discovering the
reasons for twenty bushels to the acre,
when across the fence the yield was
forty bushels. I am glad to work hard,
but I do not propose to be a cipher
absorbed in the small talk or worse of
the neighborhood, when from good
men, good books, and periodicals, and
good thinking, I can increase my know-
ledge and ability to do things. I can
work among the earth clods without
being one. I will shape them and
make them serve, me, but they shall
not govern me." -The Farmer's Advo-
cate.
An Imprisoned Steer.
The Owen Sound Sun gives the fol-
lowing remarkable ease from that
vicinity:=Some time -ago, Mr. Gardner,
who is well-known throughout Keppel,
missed a yearling steer from his herd.
After several days had been spent in
unsuccessful search it was given up as
lost, though all hope of its recovery
was not abandoned, as it was thought
possible the animal might have joined
the cattle that were grazing along the
shore, However, nothing was seen or
herd of the lost steer until Monday,
when Mr. Gardner, visiting the back
of his farm, heard the lowing of a beast
apparently coming from underground,
and hurrying to where the sound came
from, found the long lost steer imprison-
ed in a crevice of the rock, . about two
feet wide and ten feet deep. There it
had been for at least thirty-two days,
without food or water, With assis.
tante, Mr. Gardner soon released the.
animal from its prison, and though it
was much emaciated it was able, after
it had been given some food and water,
to walk to the barn, a distance of about
half a mile. The animal seems to be.
none the worse of its trying experience
and is apparently doing well,

The Holy Spirit used several peOpla
to write the Psalms: quail fit_ DOOM
and Asaph and Moses,, (see titles et
Psalms lxxxil, lxxzill, ixxzv1, lxxuz
and Nell. xil, 46), but no 'doubt eack
ono would say as David did, "The
Spirit of the Lord snake by me, and
i3is word was In my tongue" (I1 Sem.
xzitl, 2). Both prophets and poets
were "like Lord's messengers with the
Lord`e•'nlessage," speaking or writing
as moved by the Holy Spirlt,(Ra.g.,i.
13• Il Pet. 1, y The occasion
of
this
psalm was some an deliver ce frons
some captivity which had come upon
them because of their sins, posaibli
some of the oppressions in The days of
the Judges, but it looked onward to
the deliverance from, the captivity in
Babylon and also beyond the times in
which we live to the final restoration
of Israel to their own band, after
which they shall be plucked 110 no
More forever (Ica. xl, 11, 12; Jer. xxxl,
10; Amos ix, 14, 15).
We cannot do better than take the
division of the psalm suggested by
Mr. Spurgeon In his "Treasury of
David," in which he says that In
verses 1-4 the poet sings of the•Lord's
former mercies and begs Him to re-
member His People; in verses 5-7 he
pleads the cause of afflicted Israel, and
then, having listened to the sacred'
oracle in verse 8, he published in
verses 9-13 the joyful tidings of fu-
ture good. s
We must always remember that
there are a laud and a people distinct
from every other land and people
chosen by God as a center of blessing
to all the worldTThy land, 0 Imman-
uel, and the children of Israel, a peo-
ple near unto Him (lsa. vill, 8; Pe.
exlvill, 14). But, inasmuch as the
lord God of Israel is none other than
the God and rather of our Lord Jesus
Christ, He who says "I am the Lord,
1 change not" (Mal. 1n, 6), every true
child of God may claim His love and
mercy as his own and rejoice in 'His
salvation. a-�•
The six times "Thou hast" of the
first three verses declare Him as the
doer of it all, and so we must see
flim in every 'phase of salvation, do -
trig all for His own name's sake, with-
out any cause or reason why on our
part except our ,guilt and need, "Not
for your sakes, but for mine holy
name's sake" (Bzek. xsxv). 22). '
The word "favorable" in verse 1
Is in the margin "well pleased with"
and reminds us of lea. x111, 21, "The
Lord is well pleased for His righteous-
ness' sake!' There is only one with
whom He is always well pleased, and.
His is the only righteousness that can
stand, but it is given freely to all
penitent ones (I dor. 1, 30; I1 Cor. v.
21; Iso. 1ai, 10; xlv, 24), and all such
can rejoice in iniquity forgiven, sin
covered, wrath gone (Ps. xxxii, 1, 2;
Rom. iv, 6-8; 1 These. 1, 10; 1 John
it, 12).
The word "salvation" In verses 4,
7. 9. opens to us the whole Bible and
fixes our -eyes and our hearts upon
Him of whom, as His redeemed ones,
we are ableto say, "Behold, God is
my salvation," and of whom old
Simeon spoke when, holding the Babe
in his arms he said, "Mine eyes have
seen thy salvation" (lea. xii, 2; Luke
30). I am helped by ,thinking of
Him and His salvation under six as-
pects, threefold as individual and
threefold in a larger sense. Our indi-
vidual salvation includes first all that
becomes ours when we receive Jesus
Christ as our Saviour -eternal life,
forgiveness • of sins, acceptance in
Him, etc,, then the working this .out
or manifesting it in the daily life and
then the perfection of It all in our glo-
rified body at His coming. The larger
aspect Includes first the whole church,
His body, then all Israel and then all
nations. What a word it Is and what
a glorious privilege to proclaim it and
to announce that "the grace of God
bringeth salvation to all men" (Tit.
11). The question will not down,
"Whom shall I send, and who will go
for us?" to tell the wondrous story,
Out so very few are saying, "Here am
I; send me" {lea. VI, 8). Verse 8
should ou d take hold of every believer's
heart, and there should be' a firm de•
termination to hear only what God
the Lord has said. Opinions of mei
