Mr. Croly to Port Burwell and has already won the regard and affection of the congregation, with which he gives promise of becom- ing very popular.

A quiet but pretty wedding took place in the Methodist Church, Kansas City, Ark., U.S.A., on Tuesday evening, May 12th, when Miss Goldie N. Baks;r, of that city, was united in marriage to Mr. Rolland Heugh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Baugh, of Wingham, the nuptial knot being tied by Rev. Mr. Hotter.

The members of Maitland Lodge, I.O.O.F., and visiting members to about one hundked strong, attended Divine Service inathe Methpdist church on Sunday evening last,. when Rev. J. W. Hibbert preached a special sermon from I Samuel 20, 17. The pastor on - ed with words of welcome and praised them for the work they were doing, and welcomed them upon the common ground, "the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood if Man." While it seemed easy to sty "I believe in the fatherhood of God,' yet more was con- tained in that doctripe than first appear- ed, for the fatherhpod of God implies that we accept Hini as our Creator, it implied a revelation of His love in the gift of His Son and consequently leads us to say, "We love God because He first loved us." Bratherhood cannot be based upon a cash basis, but upon the principle of love* antal the speaker out- lined the story of Jonathan and David and the good Samaritan as underlying principles of brotherhood. First we recognize a brother an; secondly, we bend our shotilder to bear his load and count no sacrifice in recompense for our labors. The West Shore Railway. In strong language, charging fraud, misrepresentation, gross negligence, shifty evasion, reiterated falsehood, shameless cynicism and calculated cun- ning, against John W. Moyes, promoter, D. McIntyre, chairman of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Hoard, handed out by the finding of that body last week on the investigation into the af- fairs of the Ontario West Shore Rail- way, The full weight of the board's finding is directed against Mr. Moyes for his attitude at the inquiry, his fail ure to give adequato or aecurate testi- mony, and his manipulation of the funds secured from the sale of bonds of the railesay company guaranteed by the municipalities of Goderich, Kincardine and Huron. The tenor of the judgment is no sur- prise to those who followed Mr. Mehl - tyre's attitude during the course of the investigation, althOttgh the comments he makes ate probably as strong as have over been delivered in a jedieial pronouncemeat. This concludes, so far as the board is concerned, the first in- quiry conducted under the special pow- er coaferred by the Legislature two years ago, and IS en added implement Us the many !misers; already possessed by the board, which is more easily avail- able than the lengkby procedure requir. ed by procuring a Toyal commission. It is stated hi Toronto that the mun* ieipalities affected by the defeult of the railway and the fraud of Moyes will taW legal proceedings against him as on as the necessary arrangements eat tr be niade. Since the repoA was handed out a warrant has been issued for the arrest of 'John W. Moyes. Big Cut Rate S le, Mr. J. II.

The Western Foundry Co., Limited. Phone No. 85. TO CREATE A MONOPOLY. To give oae Canadian company a monopoly iti t6e Canadian market was the frankly admitted purpose of one of the many tariff increases announeed by Hon. W. T. White in his recent Budget speech. Mr. White was quite open in his statement that it was believed that a particular taritf change would enable one company tasll all the caustic soda required in Canada. Until Mr. White got into his High Protectionist stride as Minister of Fin- ance, caustic sedas and hypochlorite of lime were admitted to Canada dutyfree. Without any tariff protection one Cana- dian company was able to supply one- third of Canada's eaustic soda require- ments. But that vyasn't enough. With a duty levied upon, these product e' the company believed an could supply not merely one-third of the Dominion's re- quirements but the other two-thirds as wer. So the company whispered to the Finance Minister and the thing was done. Duties were impcieed and Mr. White frankly admitted that with the aid of the duty the company would probably be able to furnishthe full Canadian supply of caustic soda. Put in another way, the Borden Gov- ernment, through Mr. White, has legis- lated to give one company a monopoly in the Canadian market. The Govein- ment has used its ',power to give mono- poly privileges to One group of its High Protectionist frien4s. To create a mon)** in caustic soda manufacture may or may not be a very serious thing in itself though it is certain that the tariff change will bring an in crease in the price exacted from the Can- adian people for this particular commo- dity. But it is a serious thing when it is frankly admitted by the Government's spokesman that tho tariff is revised tip - wards for the express purpose of giv- ing one company a Monoply. Inevitably, the maintenance of a High Proteetionist tariff fosters monepolies and mergers and trusts and udder these eircurn- stances, to establieh and enforce such a tariff is bad enough; it is infinitely worse when there 5 the bold admission that the tariff is increased simply and solely for the express purpose of enab- ling friends of the tovermnent to have the heme market as a special profitable preserve for theingelves. If there were no other proof, this' one incident would be sufficient in itself to show that the present Government is a Governmett with which the &mires of Special In- terests- take precedence over all else, to the detriment and lois of the Cana- dian people. A semi-monthly pay day for all rail- way employees in Canada is likely to come intO effect Vt.ith the passirig of the amended railway aet, whieh is ,now being eonsiderect but will not, it is said, be passed until early in the next session of Parliantent. esAtt'aes PERS") NALS Dr. Gillier, of \ Teeswater, was in town on Tuesday.

North Hunan is good fighting ground and with a good candi- date in the field, the Liberals should be able to send a supporter to N. W. Row- ell to Toronto. Let there be a grand rally of Liberals in Wingham, on Fri- day. May 22nd, THE TEMPERANCE ISSUE. In regard to the temperance issue in the impending Ontario General Elect- ions, the Christian Guardian in its cur- rent issue says: "As we understand the question7tre issue between the political parties upon the point is very clearly drawn. The Conservative party stands for law en- forcement and the further use of the local option provision in the Liquor Lic- ense Act; but they do not believe in, and will not grant, any radical temper- ance legislation, unless compelled to do so by the decisive vote of the people. The Reform party stands clearly and definitely for the immediate abolition of all bar and club licenses, leaving all the present shop licenses intact, but to be dealt with by local vote; a majority of voters to rule either for or against the license. Now this ds not all tem- perance people have been asking for, andit is not all that the Provincial Leg- islature could do in the matter; but it does include two very important de- mands Ontario ternPerance men have been making for a decade or more. Under such circumstances the man who puts temperance before party seems to us to have a pretty clear course mark- ed out as to how his vote should be cast. "Mr. Rowell's policy with reference to the liquor question should • appeal strongly to every temperance man, not because it is Mr. Rowell's policy, but because, so far as it goes, it represents the temperance policy of Ontario for years past. To reprobate this policy now would seem to come dangeronsly near to declaring previous declarations insincere. We would not try to be a conscience for any man, but as the matter looks to us, in a straight contest between a Conservative who stands by his party policy on the liquor question, and a Reformer who stands by his party policy on the same issue, the ardent and honest temperance voter does not seem to have much ground to hesitate." WHERE THE LIBERALS STAND. "The first objection we !lave to this agreement is that although it purports to be a unification of the Canadian Northern System, itis no such unification —the twenty-eight companies are still in existence and will continue as they are to -day. The next point is that the guarantees that we have are absolutely illusory, that the mortgage we receive is absolutely insufficient. "I said a moment ago, and I repeat, that this enterprise must go on. It has been conceived for the benefit of the Canadian people. We require this rail- way. It must not go into liquidation, but we should have the control of it, Since we nanst go into partnership with the Canadian Northern Railway let us see that we are the master, not the servant. Let the agreement be modified; letthe resolutions be modified. Put, sir, as they stand at the present time they are not conceived for the benefit of the Canadian people; they are coficeived altogether for the benefit Of the firm of Mackentie and Maim and Of the Canadian Northerti Railway. "There is this consideration to be borne in mind by the Prime Minister; There are interests which are transcen- dent, and the primary one of those transcedent interests is that of the eountry. I have to repeat that the in- terest of the country is riot served by the present resolution, and as they stand it will be the duty of the Opposi- tion to oppose them from first to last., (From the speech of Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the Government's proposals to aid 1VIatkenzie and Mann by a bond guaran- tee of $45,00,000—thirevised Hansard, Page S20.)3 „ , . 1111010111. %Vs ' WM VI It We are showing lines of Shoes for men, who appreciate the rich THE BEST MEN'S 1 SHOES MADE ililltu. 0 • refinements of high class Foot- wear, Shoes seleeted with the greatest care from the best Shoes made.
