EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS, —The Admiralty asked for bread -- Laurier offers them a stone. * 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." " * * * that by the application of a rule of the House, hehad been prevented from indefi- nitely obstructing the closure resolution, Sir Edmond said : "I take it Sir Wilfrid 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- 0119 reports. The Governmetit prepar- ed bill which- wee given its first reading, but es the commissioner was unable to make his final report in time, and as sueh important and far rettehing legislation should hoe the fullest coneideretion, it wee deemet advisable to allow all parties tO have until next seesion to study the Bill, when no doubt it Will beeome law. The thief pointe are these — Three 0 entnioloners will he Appointed by the GOVernta tat and leaid out of the pu)lte fonds, to every met the Mt. enufaetures will be divided, into —The Liberal party lets so lotig been in the habit of surrounding Sir Wilfrid Laurier with a kind of halo to derooestrate to the world that he is made of different stuff to other leaders. Since the advent of Mr, rugsley, and the attempt of that gentleman to wreet the roles of leadership front Laurier, the halo has been knocked ebut a bit. tut there is still some of it left, and although there i$ not the same idolatrous adoration of Laurier among hie followers in Parliament as of yore, there is still a disposition to place hint on 4 pedestal high above ordinary mortals.

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. euperior attitude. Referring to the at- tempts by the Globe, and other Liberal papers, to prove that an limit had been put upott Leucite by reeson of the Met Mr. Hall then foanded the Dundalk Derek' and managed ib for 8 yeare, edited the Tara Leader for 5 years and the Wingbane Advance for 115 years. The story of his life should be an in- spiration to young men as it shows clearly that if one is made of the right staff, be can attain ripe scholarship in faee of all obstacles, Hie removal is a distinct loss to church, municipality and atate.

B COMPANY MEETS, The members of B Company, 33rd Regiment held an enthuelastic rxteet, ing last Thursday at the Brunswick Hotel., Quite a number of the youog 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. 'Phe boys leave for London on June 16oh.

Kindly invite a friend to try it. 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. Presentation By Family. On Monday evening, May 26th, on the 66th birthday of Mr. Donald Me - Cormick, his family and about fifty friends and neighbors gathered at his home in Culross, and the following address and presentation was given :— Culross, May 26, 1913 Dear Father :— To -clay we are celebraeing your birthday and we desire to take this opportunity of renewing our love and devotion and of expressing to yon how glad we are that you have been spared to watch over ue, and ourdear mother throughout these, many years, Now that we have eome to be men and women ourselves, we realize what a heavy task you.and mother have had to being up a large family and keep our footsteps Safely in the narrow pathway of right living.

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. BREVITIES. No fool can be silent at a feest. The less men think the more they talk, Reel improvement is of slow groWth only, Those who have few affairs to attend to are great speakers. People seldom improve when they have no other Model but thetriselvee to copy after, Vanity and pride sasteiti so close an alliance as to be often mistaken fot ea.eh other. Look up and not down; look for. ward, ata not bank; look out and not in ; and lend a hand, Let ta3 strive to improve oueselves, foe we eannot remain etationary one either progresses or retrogrades, When the tongue or the pert is let loose in a frenzy of passion, it is the man, and not the subjectthat becomes exhausted. 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, hence we do not know whether or not abeewein.lltbe accused as causing the cid 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. Chute!) Ilevinsi The W. F. M. S. of the Presby- terian Church will not meet until June 18th.

Lowe of Lucan conducted the service in St. Paul's church on Sunday morning last, and preached a practical and excellent sermon from Philippians 2 :15. Holy' Communion was administered at the close of the service. At the evening service Mr. C. F. DuPlan (student in charge) based his discourse on the Prophet Elijel. Oet Sunday, May 26th, RilV, J. Stitt Wilson of Berkely, Cal , spoke in the Methodist Church. Be took for his eehject "The Relation of Socialism to the Kingdom of Christ." He took the position that "The Kingdom of Goa meant the Kingdom of Heaven here upon earth and that people shou1t1 not wait for the Kingdom of Heaven trail they leave this world but that they shoeld be looking for it while upon Oath. It was while in the eity ot Chicago and seeing the awful"con- ditions of the working class, that he was lead to believe that something must be done, and he became a Social- ist on his knees, while trying to get light on the great ;emblem of human sufferieg, While he believes that Socialism is only one phase of Chris- tiabity, he believes that it is a very important one.
