WINGIEAM TIMES, 13.B.BLLIOTT,PUBnlas ntAsDPeorespro MEP THURSDAY DECEMBER 7. 1911. ED1TORAL NOTES. Send a supporter of Leader Rowell to Toronto. Vote for W. H. Kerr. Ontario's expenditure in 1904 was $2,267,000; in 1910 over $9,000,000. It's time for a change. The increase is nearly 80 per cent. We condemn the alienation by the Whitney Government of millions of acres of public domain by way of land grantsto railway corporations—New- ton Wesley Rowell. The Conservative press shouts about a rut in the price of school 'books, but overlooks the fact that the Province pays for the cut out of the general fund. The Conservative press knows this to be a fact, but they are not telling it to the public. Neither do they explain what use it is to have school books which cost the users a little less when the abolition of the county model schools has left many a rural school without a teacher to teach the text books, which the Government claim to have cheapen- ed. —Guelph Mercury. By a rote of 121 to 77—a majority of 44 for the coalition Government—Sir Wilfrid Laurier's •amendment to the Commons address in reply to the speech from the throne was defeated in the first division of the new Parlia- ment this afternoon. Sir Wilfrid's amendment set forth that in view of divergent views held and enunciated by members of the Government on the question of Canada's contribution to the naval defence of the Empire, the new Ministry was open to grave criti- cism on its personnel, and that it was also to be regretted that no mention had been made in the speech from the throne of the Canadian natal policy. Sir James Whitney says that owing to boom prices it is practically impos- sible to hold vacant land in the cities very long. It does not matter whether a vacant lot is nold by one person for a long time or by a succession of specula- tors. In the end the builder or the Neraves Ape Exhausted And nervous prostration or paralysis is creeping 'steadily upon you. You hear of people suddenly falling victims of ncrrous prostration or sane forret of paralyses. But when you get all the facts of the ease you find that they have had months or years of warning. They haven't slept well, There has been frequent attacks of nervous headache. Digestion has failed,. They have been irritable, easily worried ani axeited and have found memory an.i 681leentrateolr failing. Had they but known that these symptoms tell of exhausted nerves or had they realized their clanger they would have restored ,the feeble, wast- ed nerves by use of euclr treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Footl. T"hit great restorative treatment cures by forming new, rielt blood and by rebuilding the wasted nerve cells. Nu medicine is more certain to prove i of lasting benefit to the system. 50 rents a box, 6 buses for $2.50; at all dealers nt Ednianson, Bates ire Co., T020140. ?"•'; 1 NOTICE TO AVN DIRECTORY.

If improvements are taxed less heavily than vacant land, the improver will benefit in two ways; he will find it easier to get vacant lands and he will not be fined for putting on that land something that will benefit the whole community, Whether you approve of this reform or not, why not let it be tried by those cities or towns which are willing to try it?—Toronto Star. The Conservative press all over On- tario, in an attempt to shield Whitney inactivity in Northern Ontario, has laid the blame on the late Lauriergov- ernment for refusal to give Ontario her rights. It was recently stated at a Conservative meeting in Brantford that if the electors elected Mr. Rowell as premier of Ontario, Mr. Rowell would wait forty years before receiving a railway subsidy from the Borden government. This is characteristically Conservative. It shows that the Con- servative party in Ontario is ready and willing to play the game of politics to the extreme limit. If the Laurier gov- ernment was wrong in its attitude to- wards Ontario rights, what earthly reason does it constitute for the Bor- den Government to continue the wrong, should the province return a Liberal government to power? Why should Ontario electors have held up before them the bribe of large railway sub- sidies through the favor of the Borden government to the Whitney administra_ tion? It almost looks as if the Borden government owed the Whitney concern a lot for past services, but owed the province nothing. "Turn. Whitney out and Ontario will get the cold shoulder," is the slogan of local Conservatives. Fine, broad statesmanship that. And yet the men at the helm of both these governments call themselves empire- buildersl— Brantford Expositor. Age and Efficiency. In that lively inaugural address of his at the University of Vermont, Prexy Benton said the most valuable and valued men "in the councils of thought to -day" are men over 60, and that the "age limit of highest efficien- cy" is now 65. The New York Herald asked some of the country's eiders whether they concurred in these views, and .publishes their replies. Prof. E. C. Pickering, 65, eoncurs: he points to the justices Of the supreme court and to Dr. C. W. Eliot as proofs, John D. Long, 72, says you cannot fix any age of highest effieiency; the attempt is "ridiculous." Simon P. Shope, 74, formerly chief justice of Illinois, is convinced that the average man is out of eommission at 65, but owns that there are many and impressive excep- tions.. Ex -Judge A. N. Waterman, 75, is of opinion that "the well-preserved man is at the zenith of his intelleetual power at 65". Ex -Senator Chauncey M. Depew, 77, thinks that the mac who "keeps in touch with everything going on," who keeps his brain cells odea and aetive, ete. "becomes strong- er and wiser as he grows older." Dr. James B. Angel, 82, knows Peery Ben- nett personally and declines to com- ment on the inaugural address before reading it. Jobe Bigelow, nearly 95 now, thinks' the age limit shifts with the man and the opportunity. "The times when men are at their beat are so variable," he says, "that its a difficult' matter to establish any set rule." An impossible matter if you ask us,. until eenditiond.became more favorable.

Mise Jennie Cargill resumed her dut- ies in the publie school on Monday, after an illness of several weeks' dura- tion: There has been au unusual amount of pork sold on the market this week. Our buyers are paying prices second to none in this country. The 'Temperance Heli Company have found it necessary to put in a drain from the basement of the hall, across Edward street and down to Minnie street, in order to drain the water from the furnaces. Drains have also been put in from the Bank of Hamilton and the Meyer block to tap the 'main drain on Josephine street. This extra ex- pense has been caused by the recent floods. Mr. Joseph Holmes, father of Mrs. Jos. Welwood, of Culross, died at his home in Huron Township, near Ripley, on Sunday last, and the remains were brought to Wingham on Tuesday for interment. The deceased was an old settler of East Wawanoeh, but after- wards removed to Lower Wingham, where he resided for some time. Letters received from Mr. Robt. Orr, who is in Las Vegas, New Mexico, for the benefit of his health, are of the most cheering nature. One of the oldest residents of Wing- ham passed peacefully away at her late home, Shuter street, on Saturday even- ing last, in the person of Mrs. Ann Sadler. She had passed beyond the ailoted age by ;nine years and there is no doubt that the change would be a relief, as her last says on earth were not to be envied, though she was made as comfortable as circumstances would permit. Dr. Towler has removed his office up- stairs over Mr. A. L. Hamilton's drug store, nextdoor to Mr, J. A. Morton's Office. The .bridge over the mill race et Lower Town, which was damaged by the Road, lest week, has been repaired,. and is now fit for public travel. DII6D.

Rowell, the new Liberal lead- eer, has laid down a platform upon which all progressive men may stand, no matter what party they have fol- lowed hitherto. The principal planks are: Public ownership and operation of public utilities, including telephenes and water powers. The creation of a department of im- migration and colonization to promote the settlement and development of New Ontario. An eight-hour day for underground miners. Technical instruction in farming in the rural schools. The promotion of the immigration of land -seekers and farm laborers. The building of a good road system on Provincial credit. Suitable demonstration farms and or- chards throughout the Province. The extension of public light, power and telephone service to the farmers of the Province, Municipalities to be permitted to ex- empt improvements from taxation in whole or in part. The property of railway and other public utility corporations to be assess- ed and taxed like the property of priv- ate citizens. A simple majority to replaee the three-fifths vote in the Local Option law, Removal of the license administra- tion from politics, A workmen's compensation act, bas- ed on the British law. Promotion of industrial training and technical instruction in urban and rural communities. The restoration of model schools, To ensure a thorough English educa- tion for the pupils in every school. A scientific policy of forestry and reforestation. The creation of a civil serviee Com- mission and the substitution of the merit system for the patronage sys- tem. The publication of all eampaign con- tributions. The prohibition of political campaign contributions by corporations. The appointment of a publie prosecu- tor, as in England, to interview in con- tested elections, and endeavor to pun- ish electoral frauds, PUTTY AND- WAX. (Toronto Globe. It is not unusual for a clan to imagine his own weaknesses reflected in an op- ponent, but no more striking instance could be afforded than that of Sir James Whitney 'declaring Mr. Rowell a mac of putty and wale. Sir James wobbles, bends, and wriggles through his varied 1 011.10. inconsistencies with bluster anal brus- queness, while Mr. Rowell firmly as- sumes and unswervingly adheres to definite positions on the leading ques- tions of the day, always manifesting the courtesy and Consideration that have won him many personal friends in both parties. Whatever rough coating may adhereto the real man of putty and wax, his pliable nature is revealed by the pressure of outside influence and the heat ofd political campaign. When Sir William Mackenzie as an area of land equal to two smaller States in the American Union the man of putty and wax, who had declared he would never give another foot of land to a railway promoter, meekly alienated our heri- tage. - At the. Embro meeting Mr. Rowell showed up the man of putty and wax in all his weakness. Between the Liberal leader's definite attitude and the Prem- ier's evasions there is a striking con- trast. Mr. Rowell has asked Sire James if he is satisfied with the existing con- dition of bilingual schools. No answer being forthcoming in any of the Prem- ier's deliverances, be asks if Sir Jamas is prepared to take any steps to remedy existing defects. These questions are clear and definite, and they cover the basic lame before . the Provinee. No amount of bombast can obscure the Premier's weakness in shrinking from :en answer. If Sir Janles were really what he would like to appear to be he would either defend the policy for which he is responsible or announce a scheme for reform. The putty and wax take on the shape of surrounding pres- sures in spire of their rough and repel- lant exterior. Having no tolition, the plastic leader allows himself and his policy to be formed by the pressure of external circumstances. No one has ever accused tho Premier of statesman- ship, but his favorite pose, which is an easy one, led the people to believe he had power to resist injurious pressure. Mr. Rowell has dispelled the delusion, so the electors vote with their eyes open.

Memory Verse, 11--Qoldsrl 'Mxt, Po, xxvii, 1—Qommentary PreParsd by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Chapter v tells of a grepdt bong among the Jews themselves, for some were holding mortgages on the lands and housed' • of their poorer brethren and lending money at a high rate„ while for twelve years Nehemiah .an governor had refused to be charge- able to the people or to take any thing from them. On the contrary, be fedtown table 1 his d 60 Jews s and rulers besides those who came front the nations about them, and all this at his own expense. Chapter vi is a record of his enemies. from without who earnestly Sought to do Mm personal barn*. First they thought to do him mischief by enticing flim to meet them in one of the Vil- lages In the plain of Ono. It is ever true that the wicked plotteth against the just, watcbeth the righteous and seeketb to slay him (Ps. xxxvil, 12, 82). But the Lord shall laugh at him, for Ile seeth that his day is coming. Ev- ery child of God_ must expect to be hated by the world and to suffer tribulation and persecution (Jolin xy, 18-20; xvl, 33; II Tim. i11, 12), and it should be accepted as a gift from God and n special privilege (Phil. 1, 29; I Pet. iv, 12, 13). -+ Nehemiab's reply to the first temp-, tufion, re verse $, is worthy of imita- tion by all earnest Christian workers who ate Asked to turn aside from that to which God has called them: "I am doing a great, work, so: that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?" It is always a wrong kind , of coming down to leave any work directly for God, which He has in. trusted to us. to confer with worldlings or • even to attend some kinds bf Com. mittee meetings or so called ministers' meetings which do not Profit. All coming down from any Corm of pride or self is always right and profitable, for our highest place is lying low at our Redeemer's feet, and the Lord alone must be exalted, and with Him alone must we be occupied. Four times they tried in a similar Way to entice Rim. but he was enabled to resist them every time (verse 4). An old lady who endeavored to find something good in every one and ev- erything was once asked if she ever saw anything good in the devil. She thoughtfully replied, "Well, he Is very persistent." These enemies of Nehe. luiah were evidently in his employ. As to Nebemiah, be was steadfast, Unmov- able, abounding In the work of the Lord, knowing ,that his labor was not in vain in the Lord (1 Cor. xv, 58). The fifth temptation was in the form of an open letter by Sanballat'a serv- ant, in which was written n report that Nehemiah and the Jews thought to rebel and make Nehemiah Icing, and therefore they had built the wall and appointed prophets to preach that he was king in Jerusalem. Because these things would be reported to the king at Babylon he was invited to meet these friends (?) and take counsel to- gether ogether about the matter s1 for of course it would 716e tlteni to see such u good man as Nebemlab in any trou- ble. The lie, faetory, under the •super- intendenee 'f the father of lies, ban been at work ever since the business started in Eden so long ago, and every child of God must expect tohave some Welled out for his special benefit. Tbeir object at this time was to make Nehemiah and the people afraid of being reported to the king and thus lv weaken their bands. 13tit Nehemiah had no guilt on his conscience in this !natter and nothing to fear. He re- turned answer, "There are no such things done as thou gayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart" verses 8, 9). So he trusted God to trengthen his hands. Adam was freed and tried to hide from God Gen. iii, 10), but .he was guilty. God oes not give His people a spirit of . k ear (11 Tim, 1, 7), and our Golden Text hould be the bold littera/Me of every e Never. Even worse than these ene- fes of Neheniialr Were the false rophets in the days of Jeremiah, ho in the name of the Lord were Pr of the deceit of their own Cart, speaking a vision of their own art, causing the people to err by eir lies and by their lightness (Ser.
