them for the benefit of the public.

killing the naval bill at the bidding of the
blockers :—"The Star has advocated the
abolition of the Senate for twenty years,
and especially during the period that the.
Liberals were in power, It still holds
that it should be abolished, and is there-
fore not particularly interested in the
threat that it will be abolished or reform-
ed if' it rejects the Naval bill. It ought to
be abolished Or reformed, preferably
abolished, whether it rejects the Naval
bill, amends it, or passes it in present

Carvell, M. 1),, urging the Minis.
ter of Railways for further improvements
to the lotercolonial, 5aid the Province of
New Brunswick Was in a poor state fin-
ancially, and enable to do. what is neces-
sary for the building of roads and bridges.
Mr. Carvell slioold have thought of this
before opposing the Highways Bill, or it
he overlooked it then he should have
eanvassed the Senate not to throw out
the Measure. The fact is that conditions
in other Provinces are much as in New
Brunswick. There are many bad roads
in all of them and those who defeat a
measure for the improvement of highways
are taking a serious responsibility upon
themselves,
*
—when the Editor or any of his readers
get "hard up," they must pull throegh
with their business deals as best they can,
but when the multi -millionaires McKenzie
and Mann get in need of money, they
just go to some government and ask tor
some of the people's money and they get
it. In the last days of the session the Ca-
nadian Northern gets a subsidy of nearly
$10,000,000 of the people's money for its
line from Toronto to Ottawa, Ottawa to
Port Arthur and from Edmonton to British
Celumbia boundary. It is no argument
to say other governments have always
granted subsides. There comes a time
in the history of all countries when rail-
roads should paddle their own canoe and
surely Canada has reached that stage.
Government aid should mean government
supervision or control. The feeling that
railways are a public necessity and should
be operated for the public good is bound
to find fuller expression in our laws.
*.* *
—It is typical of Sir George Rosg, He
is playing politics. He is afraid that the
Federal grants to Provinces for improve-
ments of roads will be used to the advant-
age of tie Conservative Party. He learn-
ed this view of it when he was a Provin-
cial Minister, when he used colonization
read grants to the limit for party pur-
poses. No wonder though he suspects
others, he cannot imagine any public
monies being used without an eye to
political effect? The idea of Sir George
Ross, as an opponent of corrupt politics
is ludicious, he who was the head and
front of a Government that went down to
an inglorious defeat because the Pro-
vince of Ontario was convinced that from
top to bottom it was honey -combed with
corruption. The last man to talk clean -
politics is Sir George Ross for he knows
nothing about it, but it was always when
his henchmen were doing their worst that
he was uttering his finest phrases about
the righteousness that exalteth a nation.
* * *
ister and for fifteen years was head of the
Government, yet, be did nothing to fulfill
this pledge and recently called upon this
ieresponsible body to thwart the will of
the people. Sir George ROSS was at the
same convention and spoke and voted for
resolution nine ; now, he leads the Liberal
majority in the Senate. There were dele-
gates at that Convention, who called the
Senators, "petrified, fossilized, old
fogies," "toothless old viper," "party
hacks," the defeated and rejected" etc.,
referred to the Senate, as a "charnel
house for the dead," Poor old Sir
George, no doubt, appla.uded, and now
he is caretaker in the charnel house and
stirs up the dry bones whenever he wishes
to defeat the will of the people as express-
ed through their represeatatives. NP
wolider the young men of Canada become
disgosted with politics, when they view
the inconsistency of Snell political acro-
bats as Laurier and Ross.
ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
(Continued from last week)
One of the most interesting and im-
portant debates in the Legislature is
that following the finaneial statement
of the Provincial Treasurer, This is
known as the debate on the "Budget".
In this debate members are at liberty
to discuss any subject of provineial
concern, and to vice any grievances
they may have before granting sup-
plies. This is in accordance with the
old 'British custom, the redress of
grievances must precede the voting of
any money to the Crosvn. The public
account for the year contains a full
statement of all the receipts and. ex-
penditure and before the budget de-
b.ste begins.this book must be laid upon •
the table of the House. Ontario is lim-
ited in its sources of revenue, and it hi
every yearbecoming more difficult to
make the receipts and expenditure bal-
ance. The following are the receipts
for the fiscal year ending on the 31st
of October, 1912.

Is tile Same G. W. Ross who led the Lib-
eral party to destruction in Ontario, whose
ministry while he was premier of Ontario
Was notorious, who brought the long
Liberal reign its Ontririo to a ahatteful

Ottawe and ten resolutions were adopted,
'number nine reading as follows :—"The

our system of government, and is in other
respects defective, as it makes the Senate

ment doubled the revenue, and have
thus beets enabled to give larger grants
to the several naunicipalitieet of the
province and to give greater aid to all
the public institutions. The needs of
the Provinoes are each year iecreasing,
and no doubt, there are other sources
of revenue available to the people of
this province.
Presentation To 11. S. Teachers.
Qn Friday evening last at four
o'clock, the students and teachers of
the high 'school gathered in the As-
sembly Hall for the purpose of ex-
pressing in a tangible form their
appreciation of the worth, of the
members of the staff, who are this
year severing their connection with
the High &hoot Staff.
Mr. A. Shaw, Pre'. of the Lit. Soe.,
occupied the chair and Mr. J. 0. Smith
having been called to the platform
was presented with a gold chain" and
locket, the address being read by Mr.
Linklater and the presentation
made by Mr. A. Shaw: Replying to
the address, Mr, Smith referred to his
experiences during the past seven
years of his connection with the
school, and partieularly to the evente,
organizations and records of his term
as principal, Ile expressed his regret
at leaving a school of which he had
such good reason to be proud, but
said that like all ram who wish to
succeed he desired to move out into
wider fields. His hope was that the
Wit:Thant H. S. should become one of
the leading schools of the Province in
all its departments.
Mr. H. A. Percy was then presented
with a gold -headed cane by Me. W.
Buchanan and Mr. J. Currie. In a
few well chosen words Me, Percy
thanked the:students for their gift and
expressed his desire that they should
continue to meet with the success in
the future that they had met with in
the past. lie spoke of the pleasant
relations which had always existed
among the members of the staff and
between staff and students.
Mise 0, E. Brewster was then pre-
sented with a leather purse by Mise
Dean Geddes and Miss Gladys Spind-
ler. Miss Brewster said she appreciat-
ed. very much the kindness of the
students and that she had all
through her two years' stay among
them noticed. the strong school spirit
which had existed, She urged them
to look beyond present conditions,
however, and with a larger vision to
try for greater things,.
The High School will no doubt feel
keenly the loss of three such efficient
teachers but changes of this kind seem
necessary at times. We hope that
in their hew spheres of labour they
may meet with larger success and
that their efferts will be appreciated
by those for whom they are expended.

On Thursday evening 'of last week
Some fifteen lady friends called on Mt s.

with a silver flower or fruit basket
and the following address:
Dear Mrs. VanStone :—It is with
deep regret that we contemplate your
intended removal to Toronto. While
we rejoice at Mr, VanStone's prefer-
ment, we are deeply conscious of the
fact that your place among us cannot
readily be filled and that when
you leave UP, We shall miss you exceed.

charming hostess and have always
taken a keen interest in the social life
of Witighata, We are glad that you
will not be stY far away from as that
we cannot see you often and we shall
look forward to the pleasure of having
you among us very frtquently. By
your delightful manner and charming
personality. we know that you will
gather around you many true friends,
but, we also know that when your eyes
rest upon this little gift, which we
present to you with our most af-
fectionate regard and our most sincere
wishes for success and happiness in
the home to which you ate going, you
will ofte,n let memory carry you back

hallowed by long and tender as.
sociations. May we all cherish for-
ever old friends and friendships and
may they never fade from our hearts',
And so we bid you a fond adieu,
Mrs. VanStone made a very imitable
reply expressing gentile° regret at
leaving Winghatn but would always
have kindly remembratices of her
friends here. A. very eejoya,ble even-

THE WELSH SINGERS MADE A
GREAT HIT.
. The Royal Gwent Glee Singers gave
the finest musical entertainment in
Valdosta last night that this city has
ever heard. The singers came from
Wales. Every one of them is a train-
ed musician, while their leader is the
equal of Darnrosch or any of the great
orchestral leaders who have visited
Valdosta,
All of those who heard the entertain-
ment last night were pleased beyond
measure, The selections were all good
and the voices blended together like
the various instruments of a well-
trained orchestra. No such harmony
has ever been heard in this city as the
singing of the "Blue Danube" by the
Royal Gwent Glee Singers last night,
while the anthem "Hallelujah" was
equal to it in every way.
There was not a dull piece on the
pregrara. There was no rag time and
there was no effort at gland opera,
but it was magnificent music in com-
bination, songs and choruses, solos,
duets and quartets.
The solos were all good." The en-
unciation of the soloists was as clear
as the words of a speaker, The duets
and quartets were also greatly enjoyed.
But it Was the choruses that captiv-
ated the audience. There were five or
six of these and every one received an
encore, The musicians were very res-
ponsive and appreciative and all of
the people of the city will turn out,to
hear them. It is wonderful music and
it is a very rare thing for Valdosta to
get such exceptional talents—(the

Pledge Signing In S. S.
Throughout Ontario, Sunday, June
22nd, is Temperance Sunday in the
Sunday schools and it is suggested
that a start be made in the effort to
secure 100,000 pledged abstainers by
Oct. 1915. Every Sunday School Su-
perintendent is asked to take the
matter up and have an address on the
subject of "Pledge Signing". It is
also anti cigarette day in the Sunday
schools and the Laternational Double
pledge is suggested. Sample literature
can be secured by addressing the Ont-
ario S. S. Association, Toronto,. or the
County Superintendent.
Attend Divine Service.
B. Company, which is so ably com-
manded by Capt. N. T, Sinclair, form-
ed at the park last Sunday morning
and headed by the Citizens' Band
marched to St. Paul's Church, where a
very impressive service was held, Mr.
DuPlan took as his text, Ephesia,ns
0 :13 —"Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and
'saving done so to stand." From this
was preached a most able and. eloquent
sermon. Captain Sinclair deserves
unstinted praise for the, deep interest
he takes in his company. This is an
excellent training for 'young men and
we wish him every success in his
work.
Public School Board Meeting.
On Tuesday evening, June 10, the
Public School Board met in the
Council Chamber with all members
present excepting Messrs. Allan and
Elolmes. The reports for the month
of May were read and adopted, which
showed that their had been three fire
drills, and in each the school was
emptied in 5, 53 and 52 seconds.
The question of repairs to improve the
school grounds was left, in the hands
of the property committee. It was

Science Master Leaving
It was with sincere regret that the
citizens of Wingham and vicinity
learned of the contemplated removal
of Mr. Percy, Science Master at the
High School, to Dunville, Ont. Mr.
Percy has taught in our fligh School
for the past three years and has been
very popular with his students. He is
a teacher of exceptional talent and the
Board is very sorry to lose him.
While here, Mr, Percy has taken a
deep interest in everything for the
public good and Wingham is better
for his bevies; lived in it. -Se was
born at Alvinston in the county of
Lambton and reteived his elementary
education in that village, afterwards
attending Watford. High Sehool,
where he took Junior and Senior leav-
ing and. later attended model at
&vela. He afterwards taught for a
year at Barrie and then /Welded Nor-
mal College at Hamilton when he re-
turned and taught in the High School
department at Alvinston. Later he
attended the School of Applied Science,
Toronto, and graduated in 1007 as a
mechaoical engineer, taking a position
with the Rand Drill 0o., Sherbrooke,
Que. His health did not allow him to
remain at that work, tonsequently he
took a position hi Kempville High
School, and later in Winghton, Mr,
cold 1Viret Percy' leave Winghton with
the best wishes of all for their future
