At first sight this:looks rather serious, but one would need to know conditions before corning to definite conclusions The western farmer and •ity man is fast finding out that the true basis of wealab is the creating of wealth from the land, the . forest, the stream and the mine; and that wealth get- ting upon a purely speculative . basis is of a very transitory kind.. This win mean much to those provinces : as there must be a permanent bas -is be- fore permanent results can be realiz- ed. After fixing the salaries of their teachers and the advances they 'were to receive each year up to, a certain maximum the Goderich School3oard laid down the •rule that the increases should only be paid in a lump sum, at the end of the teaching year, and then only if the teacher has 'taught the full year. Something of this ra - tt-e seems necessary y to prevent tho "jumping of the jab at any old time in, the year." — • The fallowing shows the average numbea. of automobiles in use in tire various provinces in Canada.

LIBERAL CONVENTION As we go press an Wednesday of ternoon the Liberals of South Huron are holding their convention at Hen - sell Fs= reports it is evident that the choice will fall upon Mr. Edmund Zeller of Zurich, who was the defeat- ed candidate in 1911. If tendered the convention undoubtedly Mr. Zel- ler will accept, and there is little doubt but what he will accept the conditions :that will be proposed by the delegates from the Temperance ,convention. SOUTH HURON Liberal -Conservative CONVENTION. The Liberal -Conservative Associa- tion of South Huron will hold a Con- vention in the Public Hall, Hensall, on Tuesday, June 2nd, 1914, nom- mencin,, at 1.30 o'clock for the pur pose of selecting a candidate to ,:on - test South Huron for the Legislature —for the 'election of officers—and the transaction of general business, — By Order of , the Exi;ctutive. MOUNT CARMEL The death took place at Parkhill on Tuesday moaning, the 19th otf Arthur O'Leary, who had resided there for 16 years, Deceased .was born in the year 1837 and was 76 years old. He moved to the Township of Stephen near this place, 51 years ago and was a most successful; farmer. The de- ceased had his hip broken in a fall a few year, ago, which had confined hem to the house ever since. PATRICK J, DONNELLY DIES— RECALLS BIDDULPH CASE, St Catharines, May 10, -Patrick J, Donnelly died in this city last even- ing His passing. away ;recalls to old- timers the terrible Biddulph• tragedy when the vigilants of that township wiped oat of existence attest the en- tire family, Patrick, then a small boy escaped the anurders, He claimed to know the, names of the murders, and it is clamed to he a remarkable fact that everyone of them came to a vio- late' end, "Not one of them, will ever die' in his bed" was a predictiop made many years ago by Mr. Donnelly, and it is a fact that the prophecy actuo;lly came to pass, ' TEMPERANCE IN POLITICS Have the Liberals reason to be- lieve that they can: pull the wool over the eyes of the Conservatives at the approaching provindial el- ection on the temperance ques- tio+,a ? Surely they •do not expect to. make the Conservatives believe iihe Liberals have no desire for office apart frarn - the bringing in of the Rowell policy? Do they think that Conserva- tives cannot see that it is prdy a political game ? Do Liberals think Conservatives will he led around by the nose by a few Liberal politicians, when these same .preachers of politics cannot name a sengie Liberal in South Huron who ever changed his politics for temperance ? D3 the Liberals not recognize the fact that Conservatives to -day are proud of the fact that .;heir part* has done more for temper- ance in Ontario in: eight years than. the Liberals did in 32 years; and that without making loud soundingpromises either ? Conservatives have not the least excuse for changing to the other side one this issue because all :he facts of temperance legislation are or, the Conservative side. It is nothing short of the es- sence of impudence for political. preachers to be seizing every op porrtunity to tell audiences that they should vote Liberal, and •ry-., ing to impress the "holier than thou" business on their hearers. Irrespective of politics or temper- ance people are becoming sick of that twaddle, from men who ought to 'know better. The potitical parson who edits the Toronto Globe has been can- ine on his brothers in the,. ministry. ' to also become political Parsons of the Liberal strlpe. The preach - e. who steps out, of the pulpit to go art a political platform is well within his ,rights as a citizen. No one would deny, him .the priv- ilege tor a moment. If fir€: , ;rets out in the open las argot s :an be rreplied to, but it is aebe una fair and unmanly for . a,preaclier to. stand in a pwlnit, here he may not be sepleedtoy , nd talk in fa- vor, of any P'tie party. A preacher advice on politics is no better ti/am that of the or- dinary citizen. ' His special study has been for preaching the gospel: and that is what -he is hired todo and when he gets away from it in the pulpit he not only does iris political party no: good, Met he greatly .decreases his usefulness its a preacher. If he does not think so let him. ask his congregation privately next day. Both political parrs are in fav- or of temperance. a one has said just as strong lugs against the liquor as the ' rer qFor 32 years Liberals "talked" temper- ance and their enforcement of the laws was a "joke". For eight years Conservatives have "worked" at temperance, and their enforce- ment of the licenise laws bas been a "reality." ' In the face of this some Liber- als ask •Conservatives to desert their. party on the ,temperance question, 'When that is the very question on which Conservatives are proud a their. party's record. The mixing of temperance and politics is a huge mistake from any standpoint, and the result is much . worse for temperance than for either political party, no mat- ter which should lose, 'Add to this . mixture the business of preaching and the Christian telig ion and the ministers .usefulness both lose ,ground. At the recent Temperance con- vention in Hensall a minister of this aiding said that he had at first opposed the Canada Temper- ance Act because he considered. it a Conservative dodge, but af- ter finding it was not such he supported 'the Act. Such a con- fessioitt goes to show that st ch men do not want Temperance at the hands of the Whitney Gov- ernment at all, In other words it must come from Mr. Rowell. is it tobe thought for, a moment that such blind partizanship ti is good foe the temperance cause or for party politics ? Mr. Bail of. McGillivray has bold his farm to Mr. Wm. E, Lee of :hat township. ivir. John Oven has also bought the farm on the 5th :on, of McGillivray, formerly ow•ttecl by Nr,• J:iice of McGillivray.

DID NOT NAME A CANDIDATE Ai" a meeting in Hensall on Monday temperance people representing sev- eral of the ruuneci+palitiee of South Huron did not name a candidate as. it was stated they would. The meet- ing been called to find out if such would be advisable, but for the present at least, it was considered not advisable. Rev. Mr. Powell had' been. mentioned as a possible candidate; but be stated he had no- political ,tmbi- tio,as., Tbe only definite action tak- en is expressed lb. the following res- olutton: "It is recommended by your. resolutions committee that this con- vention favor the placing in the field of e candidate who will adequately represent in Parliament the strong per nranent temperance sentiment in South , Horan, . and in order that this may be effected a committee beap- panted to attend -both political eon - v e itions and place before them our v.ews ani. after the party men are my the field wait upon, the same and <s - certain. their stand on the temperance question and if neither one. is accept- able' to the temperance people the committee call a nomination conven- tion at the earliest possible date." The committee chosen as composed o:Messrs John Scott, George Down amid Rev E. G. Powell, Among those who; spoke were Rev. J. Muir of the Doti i&,om Alliance, S. Irwin of Clin- ton, Rev. Sharp, Rev. McAlister, Rev. Miller F. W. Gladman, John Scott.

Note—If tli'e. averp.ge Canadian boy or girl were asked "What is your greatest whish for this Canada of ,furs?' their most serious reply would be, That it ,might become first not a- mong the Mohammedan, Buddhist Confucian or bther heathen nations, but first among the Christian nations of the world. Canada is not a Christ- ian •country: but more like a day in Late November when the sun shines from the blue through rifts and pat- ches of eves slowly elle:aging extent. It is to the stretches so favored that Canada must look for those who will be the lamps and guides and pillars of our beloved Dominion during the future years—should young Canada's wisl: be ever realized. So the call to every epastor that the first Sunday in. March be observed as Public School Sunday and to the social leaders that th-e previous week service be made ,a primary to it.
