—Last week, the Advance gave ih.

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.

—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,

—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.

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

current of metritrient.

Should tb.e system get run down—
digestive organs weak—the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious•conabination of the medicine
—body-building properties of coda'
livers, with the useless grease elimi-
nated and tonic iron added, We re.
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength. -creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga.,
says; "If people only knew the good
Vinol does Old peoble, you would be
unable to Supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength -creator
I ever Used."
We wish every feeble old per-
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
