AVO. is l9Le• PUBLICITY FOR HURON. At the June meeting of the county council a proposal was submitted for the inauguration of a publicity cam- paigo for Huron county. The council declined two take up the scheme at that time. some of the members saying that they bad not had opportunity tor sufficient consideration of the idea. 'houla not tbore outside of the coun- cil who realize the need of an advance movement in this county- get together and form some sort of organization to collect additional information and sub-, mit it to the cpuoty councillors in preparation for the next meeting. when the publicity scheme may again be brought tip's only a few of the municipalities wire represented in the deputation which appeared before the council in June. With adequate prep- aration it should be possible to dem- onstrate to the council that the desire for a forward movement is general throughout the county. It a thorough advertising campaign would add a thousand dollars to the selling price of every hundred -acre farm in the county (and good judges of farm values state that this is well within the limit of reasonable expecte- tion6and if the merchants of our towns and villages as a result of the same efforts would have a growing, instead of a dwindling, population with which to do business, it is sureix_,worth the expenditure of a few thousands of dol- lars to bring about, such results. Who will come forward with a plan to form a county -wide organization for the promotion of the general inter- ests of the county along the lines sug- gested? HOW ABOUT THIS ? The Dominion Government has given the contract for.the new ele- vator at Fort William to a Minneipo lie firm, although there were several Canadian tenderers. How does this chime with the policy of protection to Oandiaa industries P If the common, ordinary, everyday Canadian con- sumer is to be torted to pay- a cuatome tax oil almost anything be may want to purchase, why should aot the Gov- ernment put a handicap of twenty- five to thirty-five per nest. on United Sates contractors., which would allow O••adian, to secure the work P it United States elevator-bufden are to be granted open eotopstltion with Ca- nadians In tbe same lite of business, why sboule there not'. a open competi- tion all round 1 Why should these Ministers who last year were warning us against having anything to do with the people of the neighboring country - new give a contract involving hun- dreds of thousands of dollars to a United States firm ? EDITORIAL NOTES. The C. P. R. is reported to he plan- ning a line from London to Sat nisi. What has become of that proposal tett have a bylaw enforcing building regulations in Goderich 'r It needed. A plague of toads is reported from Toronto. May he a mistake for "toadies," which hare abounded in Toronto tbeets many wears. Canadian apples will be much in de - toned in Great Britain this year, ac- cording to a report from the l'aoa- dhan trade roessaissinmer at Glasgow. The Lord Mayor of Bristol, wbo has here visiting Caaada. says the T,ur•on- tn hotels ars the worts in the world.

Ao exconvict has been discovered stead - in tbe person of s member of the Phil- adelphia city council. Uulike the caps of Jean Valjean, Victor Hugo's great cbaracter, many helping hands are los- ing reached out to the Philadelphia man. The world is growing better. Walter Long, one of the most prom- inent members of the Unionist party in Great Britain, is at present in Can- ada In • published ioterniew he re- pudiates the German war *care, no doubt to the great sorrow of The Mon- treal Star and other alarmist organs. Harvesting has begun in the West. The earlier maturing of the crop. a new*paper correspondent says, i* giv- ing the farmers a chance to co-operate in the harvesting and get through it on a cheaper basis than if A large number of extra harvesters bad to be employed. if "the very existence of the Em- pire" is "at stake," as The Toronto News says in big type, shouldn't that journal be calling upon Mr. Borden to come back from Britain and get the Canadian Piirliament at work doing something to save the situation ? Or doesn't The News take any stock in its own twaddle ? • Mayor Reid thinks that something should be done to prevent the spread of weeds in the town. We believe that recent legislation has given municipal. ties larger powers along this line - The Zouncil might look up the new Act and get in line with it. Certainly Goderich, with its reputation as a beautiful town, ought not allow weeds to run riot. General Booth is dead. soda great world figure bas been removed. Not simply as the head of the Salvation Army, but as the great leader of a religious and humanitarian movement which restored countless lives from wreck to usefulness, he was revered the world over, and the value of his services was recognized by men of all denoininations. Now someone mime. along with the fool proposition that all the towns in Ontario should agree on one day for a "Provincial civic boliday," to be fined by Act of the Legislature. What is a "civic" holiday for but to allow each separate community to obeerve its own desires and convenience in the taking of a holiday outside of tbe flied general holidays? If a holiday is made a Provincial holiday it ceases to be a civic holiday. President Tett is in "a tight box." The Panama Canal bill, by which the United States Congress repudiates solemn national obligations, is before hits for approval or veto. if hs ap- proves, be joins in the dishonorable faith -breaking action of Congress and goes hack on his own record as one who has endeavored to place inter- national relation. on a higher basis. it he vetoes the hill. be risks the danger of playing into the hands of his political opponents -of the Rooee- velt party, at least -right in the face of the Presidential election. There is a situation co test the mettle of a wan. The great newspaper% of the United States show it remarkable agreement of opinion as to the action of Congress on the Panama Canal bill, which they denounce in emphatic fashion as a oa- tional disgrace. It will be remem- bered that the great metropolitan newspapers were effective supporters of the reciprocity agreement between Canada and the United States last year. in both cases they were not re- garding the merely selfish and meter- ed aspects of the twitter in bead, but were seeking to bring about a higher and better civilization. Selflph and sectional interests in Canada defeated the reciprocity movement, and in. fluences of a similarly unworthy char- acter are behind the action of Con- e rre% in the Panama affair. After an &levet continuous advance for the past twelve months the De- partment of Labor's index number, in- dloating the trend of prices of articles of general oonsnmption, dropped two points in July, standing et 1:4.8 as compared with 188.9 in June and 1%.- 9 in July, 1911.

Capt. Ww.

The pres- ent editor of The North Star declares that the accusation of political parti- sauablp in ('apt. Ireland's case Is a "deliberate and dawt.abls lie." The member for the riding, James Arthur., it blamed for the diemlasal, and it rightly iso he richly deserves much more than The North Star says of him. Capt. Ireland has grown old in the service of the public as a hard- working newspaper man, and his dis- missal will nut do the Government any good among Lair -minded people. 8ir �t'ilhid Lurier plans to sit on the Now and await developments in the navel question. Still the oppor- tunist, as ever. -London Free Press. Wbat would The Free Press have? Sir Wilfrid Laurier while in power formulated a naval policy, introduced it in Parliament, put it in effect as far as was possible io a limited time, sod still stands by it, in spite of the cheap sneers of ('oorervative organs and the opposition of the Quebec National- ise whom Mr. Borden took to his arms at the last election. Wbat more is Sir Wilfrid to do's He cannot exp* as any opinion. favorable or otl,.•: aiee, on Mr. thole', . policy, tor .dy, except possibly '.Ir. Borden hieoelf, knows what that ioolicy is. Is it • about time The Free Press ac.nuwledged that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has all along taken the patristic course on the navy question. and that if Mr. Borden had not tried to make party capital; out of it his present difficulties would mot have arisen.

I►••o l July and Angnst fiave been rather cool this summer, but we must remem- ber there was a Federal election on just about this time last year, which helped some to increase the heat. Live and Learn. Guelph Mercury. By the time his wife has been away fora month, the average man knows that an egg can be boiled in less than ten minute., and .he has also found out that porridge testes better with it pinch of salt in it. Hire Will Be Higher. Toronto Mail and Empire. The market for farm labor is rising In the West. Farmers in Saskatche- wan are bidding me high as 950 a month, with board. It is expected that still larger wages will have tc be paid, and this for several months. But.to be worthy of his hire, the laborer will have to live a strenuous life and fare not too sumptuously every day. Baden -Powe l's Diagnosis. Chicago British Amsrioan. This observant Briton believes that a lot of our conspicuous evils result from superficial education of the in- tellect at the ezpetise of character training. He Pays the ole world boy, it slower than his American cousin, is less negligent. He is better grounded in essentials. Careless habits, accord- ing to Baden-Powell, are at the bot- tom cf our graft and crimes of vio- lence, oo less than our Ore losses and railroad disa•tets. It's Up to Hordes. Guelph Mercury. The Laurier scheme of naval coo- struction included a few cruisers of a high type a efficiency for scouting, commerce -protecting purposes, with destroyers and submarines to suit. if Mr. Bolden has any better proposal the public should hear it, not after a conference with Sir Wilfri3 Laurier, but before such it conference is sought. It Mr. Bolden is a man of spirit be will play the game and not be a craven. if he does not want or does not dare to play the game be should throw up his hand. A Timely Hint. Toronto Star. The other day the suggestion was made s these columns that every chairman at public meetings and ban- quets in ('snide should be supplied with an alarm clock wound up to raise an inescapable clamor at the end of five. ten, thirty, or whateser oumher of minutes each speaker was allotted. The chalrmn ran do nothing without such aid. He will not -he cannot - choke off a speaker. He hates to pull an orator', coat tails. Only one chair- man IG a hundred will do anything more than privately warn a speaker to be brief. and "talk at him" by Intro- ducing him as one who will saya few words. Of course, .11 this avails noth- ing. The alarm clock oo the chalr- man's titbit* is our only hope. Not only would 1t sed the speech. it would Increase the volume of enplane. an the speaker sat down.

Sia George Reid. the Australian High Commissioner to Britain, who le an imperialist in the true settee, has formed the right ideas of the ties that Wed the Empire tooether. His state - went that the fewer and td .re *leader the ties had become. the wore loyal and attacbed were the dominions to the mntbercountry, is true. It iaeoo- trary to the .pmt of the British people to be bound down to loyalty by fixed rules and written co nstltutioor. Sir George c gime that if ever tbe clouds threaten the Empire "none would more readily respond to the call than the gallant devoted Australians." They are giving proof of that now in the e*tabhshwent of it fleet to he used by Britain in cage of war, but under their own control in times of peace. What Sir George said of tbe loyalty and affection of Australians may be said with equal -teeth of the loyalty and affection of Canadians, but these things have grown not by the imposi- tion of hood i but by freedom to act for t remaelves, allowing the bonds to become stronger than if they were outwardly Messed.
