EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,
—The Admiralty asked for bread --

As1 a Free Trader"—Laurier in
liouse of Commons, May 19, 1013,
* * *
—Politicians should not talk when they
are muzzled. It is a reflection on the
quality of the muzzle.
* *
—What an old-fashioned financier the
present Finance Minister is Be actually
applies over twenty million dollars to a
reduction of the National debt. This is
the Minister, whom we were warned to
suspect by the Liberal press,
—And just to think that Canada has
just concluded the most prosperous year
in her history wtth Laurier and other
heaven -bora leaders adorning the opposi-
tion benches. Surely Providence has
played a most sardonic joke.
* * *
—Laurier confessed the other day in the
House of Commons that he was a free
trader. And for sixteen years he kept in
force a fairly high protective tariff. Be-
tween Laurier professions and Laurier
practices, there is a wide gulf fixed.
* *
—There is no ground for the apprehen-
sion that, unless a general election can be
brought about, Hon. Sydney Fisher's oc-
cupation will be g -one. He can go back
to the land, He has a farm and he has
always frankly admitted that when it
comes to farming, he has no equal.
* * *
—With Canada on the crest of a wave
of prosperity it will take more than
Laurier whining about "gag" or Pugsley's
declamations concerning "a false report"
to make the people believe that they
committed a fatal mistake in relegating
the "adjunct" party to the cold shades of
opposition. September 21, 1911 was the
date of Canada's emancipation from the
thraldom of Laurierism and its attendant
evils.
* * *
—The attempt to make a heavy villain of
Hon. Robert Rogers is one which does
not appear to hurt that gentleman much
in the estimation of the Conservative
party, In fact, Mr. Rogers' standing in
the party is improved by the desperate
attempt of the • Liberal press to make
him appear a very bad man. Conserva-
tive members who know him well, know
that be can be made to appear a
very bad man only by organiz-
ed slander. The Liberal press know
this too, hence the determined and per-
sistent slander campaign. "Well, it is
history repeating itself," said a generous
Conservative metnber. "We used to do
the same thing. For several years after
1896 we tried to make a villian out of the
late J. Israel Tarte, and always alluded to
him as "the Master of the administration,'
with Laurier as his puppet. The fact is,
we know he was a dangerous opporiemt
because of his organization ability. If
Laurier had not dismissed him fron? the
Cabinet, he might still be in power, for
Tarte would never have allowed Fielding
and Paterson to go over to the United
•States to arrange a Reciprocity TJeaty."
The whole incident recalls Sir John A.
Macdonald's saying that the most sticks
are found under the best apple trees,
• * *
—The reduetion in the duty on raw
sugar as a result of the West Indies
agreement has already resulted in practi-
cal benefits to the Canadian consumer.
The reduction is from 531; cents per
hundred pounds under the British pre-
ference to 40';34, cents and from 831 cents
under the general tariff to 5Th cents.
The Canadian sugar refineries have al-
ready announced a reduction in
price to the consumer ot 20 cents per
hundred pounds or $4 per ton. 0. W.
Donner, vice-president of the St. Law -
rence Sugar Refining Company, has made
the following announcement :— "This
movement of the Government in reduc-
ing the sugar &Wes will have the im-
mediate effect of cheapening the article
to the consumer and the first step is the
reduction which the refineries are putting
into effect now, namely a reduction of
twenty cents a hundred pounds or $4 a
ton. The action of the Government will
mean a direct benefit to the people of
Canada, a benefit that will commence at
once. The reduction that the refineries
are making is the biggest single change
in price for years. Hen, Mr. White in
his speech in the House points out that
the Government will lose a revenue of
$000,000 per yew, through this reelection
in the sugar duties, but the bertats to
the pubrie will he great." "

House, hehad been prevented from indefi-
nitely obstructing the closure resolution,

Laurier is still a hard fighting politician,
able to give as he does give, and to take,
as he ought to take, hard knocks when
they come front his opponents, ilOt a little
china god that has to be dusted with a
silk handkerchief and a camel's hair
brush. He ought to take, 4nd I would be
sorry if he did not, the defeat which he
has sustained." Laurier has never been
able to reconcile himself to the fact that
he was defeated by the people in Septent-
ber, 1911, He still believes that he is
the uncrowned king of Canada. IIis
word is law, in his opinion, and that is the
explanation of the lowering of the dignity
of Parliament and the unparalleled ob-
struction which took place over the first
real attempt on the part of a Canadian
government to discharge the debt or a
portion ot it that this country owes to the
metherland, Laurier to -day is like a
child, erying because its toys have been
taken away. And like.a spoiled child he
must be disciplined.
ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
„..
Although the proceedings ateOttawa,
have during the present eession on
account of the Navy Debate, over-
shadowed the doings of the Ontario
Legislature, yet the latter House has
passed much useful and important
legislation.
The House of Commons deals with
national affairs, trade and commerce
duties arid customs, all of which are
important, bat the questions dealt
with by our -Legislatures touch more
closely the daily house life of the
people, education, public health,
prisons, aeylurns, hospitals, a,drnis-
trations of justice, and municipal
institutions are all dealt with in our
Legislatures. The session opened on
-Fete 4th and continued until May Oeb,
having been in session more than
three months. During this period of
time many important qeestions af
fecting the welfare of the people of
this Prevince were fully discussed,
and wavy important and useful .retea-
sures were passed. The acIdeess in
reply to the Speech from the Throne
was moved by Mr. A. H. Musgrove
and seconded by Captain Machin,
The debate on the address was coo-
tinued for ten days, and opened up a
wide field of discussion. As there
are no restrictions members are at
liberty to roam at will "over the
whole political field of Provincial
politic" and to give their views on
any question affecting the same.
Not until this speech is disposed of,
can committees be struck or can any
important business be traneacted.
Bills are of three kinds—(1) Private
Bills dealing with the incorporation
of railway companies, ratifying muoi-
cipal by-laws, etc, (2) Public Bills—
these may be introduced by any
members. (3) Government Bilhi—in-
troduced only, by a member of the
Government. All bills are fully dis-
cussed in committee, where every
person is permitted to speak as often
a3 he pleases and where every phase
of the Bill is fully thrashed out. No
sooner has an act been passed. than
amendments are made to it from year
to year or portions of the the act are
repealed, so that in a few years it i:
almost impossible to know what is V
law on any given question. This hes
lead to the revision of the Stai utes
every ten years. This revision is en-
trueted to a commission composed of
judges and lawyers. All sections re-
pealed are cut out, all amendments
made are inserted in their proper
place. When this has been done these
acts mast all come before the House
before being finally passed and are
then subjectto further amendments.
Oomplainte have been made of the un-
due delay on the present commilesion,
but they are doing their work well,
and when the work has been complet-
ed we will have the moet perfect and
complete Statute e in Canada. It is
expected that the present revision will
be complete in a few tneothe and that
the Statutes will be published in three
volumes.
One of the most intiportatit acts
mentioned in the epeeeh from the
detente was that of Workmen's Com-
petisation, A commissione, has been
engaged duving the past two years in
securing evidence on this important
eubject. He has heard from all claws
intereeted fti Ontario, has visited
Germany, France, *Utile and the
United Stetee, and bas made close
inquiry into the acts in force in thce
coutitries. He has submitted the evi-
dence gathered in two very volutnin-

ed bill which- wee given its first

when no doubt it Will beeome law.

Woodstock-Wingham Football
Game.
On Saeurday, May alth, a splendid
exhibition of Association Football was
given on the '.own Park when Wood-
etock Baptist College 'nee Winghaen
El. S. for the final game of the Rough
Cup Series. Although the score was
3 1 in favour of Woodstock and from
such one , might judge the play was
one-sided, such was not the case as the
teams in ability were very evenly
matched and the ball was as likely to
be found on one side of the centre
line as on the other throughout the
game. The visitors seemed to be able
to convert close plays near goal a little
better than the home „team. Straight
football was played right through to
the end and rough play was con-
spicuous by its absence.
Although our teatxk has lost the duet
the members do not feel disgraced at
all, their steady play having brought
them to the finale. This in itself is
quite an honor. Also every team
which has played against them has
had good things to say about their
gentlemanly conduct and this alone is
a prize for any team. Ability, coupled
with regular practice of real football
has won its MU reward and were it
not that Woodstoek College has, per-
haps, some advantages nob enjoyed by
the ordinary H. 5. the outcome may
have been better still.
Our genial friend from Brussels who
refereed the game gave entire satis-
faction to both sides.
The management committee wishes
to thank the citizens for their liberal
support, the result being such that in
spite of heavy expenses the season
closes with a small surplus.
Editor Hall Leaving. ,
On Monday next, Mr. Theo. Hall
and family leave for their new home
in a new land with the best wishes of
Wingham and vicinity, Owing to
Mr. Hall's extreme modesty, we re-
frain from saying everything that
veils within ue. Ib was only when
coming in close contact with the man
that we learned his manly qealities.
In our multitude of little business
transactions in the transfer of the Ad-
vance interests there was not the
slightest jar and we found him to be
the very essence ofironor, The busi-
ness which he sold us is far better
than he described it. Wingham loses
one of its best citizens in his removal.
As a newep tper man the fraternity
have been free to state, that he had
few equel and that be made the Ad-
vance to have scarcely a peer in On-
tario.
E MAL was born in the city of
G.! u 'ester. Eng., in 1816, and came to
C ...lade in 1859 at the ag9 of 13. At
ta age of 11 he hired out with a farm-
. ir and consequently never had the
privilege of attending aepublic or high
echool, but his thirst for education
was so great that every rrkoment he
could grasp was spent in study. Not-
withstanding his arduous farm labor
and his assisting to chop logs and
clear two farms, yet at the age of 23 he
could drop the handles of the plow
and pass his examination for a third
class teacher's certificate. While
reaching the following three year, he
studied sufficiently that in 1872 he
tvent to Walkerton, beaded the'list
and was the only one to capture Grade
Provintird certificate. Mr. Hall
taught for 14 years and also spent a
few years in the Methodist Ministry,
as member of the Northwest Iowa
Conference where the best pulpits
were opening to him, bat nervoue
prostration caused by over study and
woik compelled him to leave a suc-
cessful work.

B COMPANY MEETS,
The members of B Company, 33rd
Regiment held an enthuelastic rxteet,
ing last Thursday at the Brunswick

men of the town have signified their
intention of going to camp this year,
There is however still ream for a few
more good men,
Within the last week Headquartere
have changed the traitaing ground
from Goderich to London. This no
doubt will meet with the approval of
everyone.
It is expected that the new armoury
to be built at an early date in Wing-
hana will stimulate recruiting to a.
large extent. The armoury, in ad.
dition to the regular drills whieh it is
proposed to hold, will be available for
all kinds of indoor sports, rifie practice
etc.

Will Hold Conference.
After a good deal of consideration
and the holding of a number of con-
ferences, the temperance people of
Brockville have decided to bring on a
Local Option contest. On May 15th
the foregoing deeision was arrived at
and preparations were made for cir-
culation of petitions praying for a.
vote, as well as for the carrying on of
other ferms of campaign work.
Wingham Industry
Among Wingham'e many industries,
none is extending more rapidly than
the WM. Davie' Co. The Creamery
Department has upon the road nine
waggons, which are gathering cream in
the territory, north as far as Glaramis
and Ripley, south to Londesboro, east
to Fordwich and west to the lake. In
addition to this cream is'being shipped
to Wingharn from a radius of a hun-
dred miles or more, As this is just a
new industry in Wingham, great
things may be hoped for./ Batter and
eggs are purchased from the merchants
of the various towns and villages
throughout Western Ontario, a,nd
shipped to Wittgha:ro, where they aro
gone over and then exported. Two
carload of eggs, representing 30,000
dozen are shipped from Wingham, by
this firm, weekly. On the pay.roll of
the Wingham office are twenty-three
people, seventeen Of whom live in
town. This is an exeellent industry
for Wingheen and. we are sure that
euder the able management of Mr. A.
El. Wilford, that it will still develop
to greater proportions.

His Devotional Attitude.
Eight-year-old Donald was usually
restless in church, so his mother was
doubly gratified one Sunday morning
to see him sitting with clasped hands
and bowed head througbout a lengthy
prayer. 'Alien, later, she expressed
appreciation of his attentive manner,
the boy's face softened with a pleasant
memory, "That fly," he chuckled,
"walked in out of my heeds exactly
two hundred and seventy times!"
Young Criminals
The Bank of Conanaerce here, has
been missing mail from their post-
offiee box for some time, but not until
this week was the mystery solved.
Three young bo3rs of this town had
procured a key to the box, which had
been left sticking in it, and from that
time, had been removing the mail.
They were brought up before Provin-
cial Officer Phippen, and confessed
their guilt, promising never to be
guilty- of such an offence again.
Business Change
The firm known as Kerr and Bird
has been dissolved, Mr. Bird retiring.
and Mr. Kerr taking in as partner, his
son Percy, who for some time has
been engaged by the T. Eaton Co.
The 'new firm will be known as Sohn
Kerr and Son. Mr, John Kerr, who
is one of our most esteemed townsmen
has long catered to wants of the buy-
ing public. He came to Wingham
from London in 11878, entering the
store of Elliott and Talbot, as clerk.
In 1391 he started a grocery store, and
irk 1898 moved to the MacDonald.
Block, where he had a stock of dry
goods and boots and shoes. In 1904 he
bought the property where his store
novv is and in 1908 took in as partner
Mr. Bird. The Advance wishes the
new firm of John Kerr and Son un-
limited success.
Must Advertise Before Marriage.
The new marriage act of last session
which requires non-residents of a m
uni-
cipality, county, or district, to give
three weeks' notice of an intended
roarriage comes into force to -day,
Thursday. The act makes it necessary
for non-residents desiring to secure a
marriage license to advertise their
intention in local newspapers once a
week, and to present affidavits and
copies of the notices to issuer of licens-
es. Exception to this will only be
made under special circumstances and
direct appeal to the Registar-General.
This legislation, while aimed at secret
marriages generally, is especially di-
rected at the 'Gretna Green" at Wind-
sor, where the marrying of young
people from across the line has become
quite a profitable business. In addi-
tion to the advertisement clauses, the
act contains sections making clergy-
men and other qualified to perform
marriage, subject to a heavy penalty
for marrying persons they know to be
under the influence of liquor, or men-
tally deficeut.
Stove Demonstration.
On Friday and Saturday, May 30th.
and 3let., Mr. H. W. Deere, of the
Detroit Vapor Stove Co. will be at
Mr. A. Young's Hardware to exhibit
their line. The Detroit Vapour 011
Stove has no wick and consequently
no chimney. ID produces a hot blue
blaze from vaporized kerosene and
the cookiug utensils can be placed
directly On the fire. Ithas been found
by testing that water will boil five
minotes sooner on the Detroit Vapour
Oil Stove than it will on a s'vick stove
also comparing stoves as to amount
of oil, the Detroit Vapor 011 Stove
will do as much cooking with three
qvtarts of oil as the wick stove will
with four quarts. The Vapor stove is
made of annealed oast iron, and, has
no perforated sheet metal to rust and
burn out, and will not overheat. It
shatters all preeonceived ne about
oil stove', and ra,pidlv beeomes
favorite wherever used, Do not fail
to hear Mr. Deere's demonstration of
this reliable stove.

Welland Campaign.
Tile Canada Temperance Act cam-
paign in the county of Welland is
well under way, 0rgani4ation has
been effected in a number of local
municipalities. Meetings are being
held, and petitions circulated praying
for the Submission of the measure, A
compaign is g'oing on in the
county of Huron. Voting on th.e
Canada Temperance Act is under
Dominion legislation and is brought
on by a petition to the Secretary of
State, signed by twenty-five per cent.
of the electors whose names are on
the voters' lists. If a majority vote
is polled, it brings prohibition into
force in the county or city affected.
Chief Allan In Railway Wreck.
Chief Allan on Tuesday of this week
went to Orangeville to bring back a
gentleman chaxged, by the Western
Foundry of receiving money under
false pretences. When coming back,
the train on which he was travelling
was completely derailed. about four
miles this side of Grand Valley. No
one was injured. A freight engine
with a van brought the thirty-four
passengers the rest of their journey.
Our respected Chief railroaded for over
twenty-three years and consequently
must have travelled tens of thousands
of miles by rail, He was also born in
Ireland and did not walk across, con.
sequently, he has travelled more than
most men, but this was the first time
that he ever 'travelled by C. P. R,

A Pretty Wedding.
The home of Mr. Henry Wheeler
was the scene of a pretty wedding on
May 21,st, when their daughter Mary
was united in marriage to Mr. Fred-
erick Hogg. Promptly at seven o'clock
they entered the parlor to the strains
of the wedding naarch, whieh was
played by Wm. Reid, brother-in-law
of the bride. The bride, who was
given away by her father, was becom-
ingly gowned in swiss embroidery
and carried a bouquet of carnations.
Miss Bessie Wright acted as flower
girl. 'The ceremony was performed
by Rev. C. E. Jeakins of Clinton.
The many and beautiful presents
testify to the high esteem in which
the young couple are held. Mr, and
Mrs. Hogg start their journey through
life with the best wishes of many
friends.
