The Wingham Advance, 1913-03-13, Page 1.11111.*, teelt, .07r 0 41ST YEAR, NO. 28. EDITORIAL PARAURAPHS. —The Printing comtnittee of the Ontario Legislator° has Weever' Sam. Charters of Peel as its Ohairmate 'we are cori•ectly Misruled, the dinky of thie conamittee are um laborious, for to it belongs the taek of ordering the printing of reports that have bent pritsted aud distributed months 1.e. fore. W hat ta, snap * * * —Last week, the Advance gave ih. experience and opinion of it clergy- man, wen for one day was editor or 0, paper. Here is the other side :.--Vtre. cent Astor, one of the richemeet the world said recently :— "If I had not been so unlucky afi to have the estate and money and other things to look after, I would have been a reporter." We are sorry foe Astor. If he ouly knew what he has missed—but no, we'll never tell him. * * * —March 4th witnessed the inaugura- tion of a Democratic Goverrtraent for the United States, under the Presi- dency of President Woodrow Wilson. For twenty years, the Republican party had been in the ascendaecy un- til November last, when the election resulted in favor of the Democrats. The last Democratic Preeideat was Grover Cleveland, who wee inaugur- ated in 1803. President Woodrow's Oabinet has in it one Canadian -born mate Mr. Lane, of California. We shall expect laim to exert a benign in- fluence over the whole 0a,binet, and in the meantime declitte to suggest any obange in the President's choice. * * * —Diligent search in the colurans of Liberal papers fails to reveal any red hot editorials condemning the "unholy alliance" of the Liberate and Nation - Heists at Ottawa, Yet they now seem to be bosom friends. Scathing sar- casm and scoro seem to have given way to kind welcome, each to the arms of the other. What the ordinary voter cannot understand is how it comes that whea the Nationalists were likely to. support Borden, %taxiing head. lines denounced it as an "unholy alliance," but when they support, Laurier, the iniquity vanishes. Verily the exigencies of politics require deft- ness at turning sharp corners. *0* —When shall the waste of war cease? One battleship now costs ten ;minima dollars and its annaal cost all told nearly another million. One battleship, with twenty years' up- keep, Cobts $28,000,000, The Congres- sional Library building at Washing- ton, the finest in the world, cost but little over half that amount. A splen- did macadam road could be built from New York to Chicago for the cost of one such ship, This eum would also pay for 1,400 churches at $20.000 each ; 7,000 farms .at $4,000 ea.cla ; and a col- lege education for 14,000 men or wo men at $500 a year for four years. The annual cost of armies and navies of the world runs into 1700 millions, and the national debts of the nations (probably thirty-five thousand mil- lions) are largely traceable to 'warlike preparation. 0 Thou Prince of Peade, when ahall Thy reign begin *0* —The farce (for that is the proper name for it) that is being carried on at Ottawa by the Liberal obstruction- istsis becoming worse than useless— it is silly. For so-called intelligent men to obstruct the business of the country for weeks, by making speech after speech of hours' duration, with little or no bearing on the question before the House, reduceb parliament to a laughing -stock, and we believe that when such a. point is reached, the Government of the day, (he it Grit or Tory) would be justified in cutting the debate short bff, if debate it can be called by any stretch of imagination. Evidently, the abject of the Opposielon is to force the Gov- ernment to appeal to the country, in the hope that the Liberal party may again reach the coveted seat of, power. Only eighteen months or so have elensed since Mr. Borden was re- turned Premier with a good majority. But defeated politicians are conspiring to force another election, apparently for selfish and not. patriotic reasons. We fail to see any signs in the rank and file of the voters of Canada of a desire for the turmoil for another election campaign. The Borden 61-overt:merit bas the confidence of the electore, and will in due time call a halt to the wild.vaporings of the long- winded orators (?) of the Opposition. Defeated candidates, still hungry for office shottld not be allowed to delay and obstruct the business of the country. -Standing Field Crop Competition.

We are sorry to lose Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh and family froni our midst, hot we wish them every success in their new home. Mr. McIntosh 'will hold an auction sale soon, That Breach Of Promise Case. • The Moek Court Triel to be given under the auspices of Lord Charles Vesford's troop Canadian Boy Scoots, -The Town Hall, on Thursday even - Deg, March, 13th, promises to be an event of alausual interest. Judging from newspaper reports of similar entertainments conducted by the pre- sent management it would seem to be one of the most amusing things how offered for public patronage. It vent be, in the arse place, an exact reproduetion of a court scene in methods and pronedure and on thie account will be extremely interesting to Iodise and others who have never attended a real trial. Best of all will be the refined fun of the whole affair. With Ta Vanstone Ecit . presiding over the court, Ales, T. Elliott appearing se the broken- hearted plaintiff, A. 11, Wilford m the defendatit, Col. Newton prosecwing the case and Dudley Holmes. E q., defending the accused, to say nothing of the brilliant array of court officers, vvitnessee and jurore, it le pretty certain we shall lia,ve all the comedy and reality of a court scene and enough wholesome fon to last a, whole year. Indeed, it is predicted by those in position to know, that from the open- ing of the court until the close of tle‘a case, the audience will be kept keyed up ti the point of eorivulsions by the unique proceedings, Wit, pathos, elegriene,e, Mogi-Wee- loeal hits and vagaries will he iirawn upon without etint, to keep up the current of metritrient. As an eptertaintniAnt of ienoeerit En, Conducted with mock dignity and without the 61110E11 of offense to re- fined tate the Mock Court Trial will be RA mentioned above, att event of tineesnal letterset. 110101.1.
