The Wingham Advance, 1911-04-27, Page 14 39TJ1 YEAR, NO. 35 SANCTUM. PARAGRAPHS. --The Canadian Reciprocity Bill is now before the 11alted States" Senate, * * * —ITon, Syduey Fisher, Minister of Agriculture for the Dominion stated recently, that there would be no general election until after the re- distribution following the census to be taken in June. * . k —Professor Clarcuce Andrews of the English dekarlinent of Amherst College, has raised a tempest among New England clergymen by declaring that swearing is a necessary, natural and universal language of plan. Poor follow 1 What kind of surroundings must he have had in his early years? How unfortunate must have been the influences thrown around him! How severe the temptation, when swearing has become "necessary and natural." e** —The emigration to the West has not been above the normal this year, In recent years, Ontario has suffered much from the drain on its rural population to fill up the great West, and while "there is yet room" out there for millions, itis hoped that Ontario will not be called on to con- tribute many more thousands towards populating the newer provinces. The next thing we hear, will be a move- ment northward to the new and fertile fields in the clay belt, along the line of the G. T. P. ; indeed that movement has already begun. * * * —Supporters of Reciprocity, decline to admit that the proposed trade agreement will tend to bring about annexation. Many on the American side consider that it will. George E, Roberts, director of the United States mint, sees the situation as it really is. :here is what he says :—"If the bar- riers between Canada and the United n •States had been taken down long Rao, the interlacing business relations would have drawn the Dominion to the Republic politically. Instead of that, under protection and the British preference, Canada has got closer to the Mother Country. Instead of being commercially, industrially and financially independent of the United States, Canada might have been al- most as much a part of us, as one of our own States." * * * —Ottawa is in rather a bad oondi- -tion. There have been over 1400 cases of typhoid, and now smallpox and diphtheria threaten the citizens. It was bad 'enough to have the Senate and Commons there all winter, but matters are now infinitely worse. The Governor-General has written to the mayor urging an immediate war- fare on houseflies. He suggests that a systematic campaign should be .in- augnrated and calls on the mayor to take the lead. His excellency states that Ottawa as the capital should set an example to other cities both in a campaign to kill the flies before they breed• and in removing unsanitary conditions. Dr. Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron suggests the prorogation of Parilainent until the fall on account of the danger of the spread of disease. * ** —Hon. his on A. G. McKayin one of L ti recent Speeches took occasion to speak, Mr. Borden, leader of the well of R. L. de , Opposition in the 'Dominion Parlia- ment, and expressed his pleasure that so little importance could be attar:bed, to the rumors of Mr. B.. L. Borden'e retirement. Here is 14r. IMicli;ay'e estimate of Mr. Borden :— "I think the Conservative party has reason to be proud of the high class of man who is their leader to-dey," he said. "I think Mr. Borden is a pretty high type roan and a prettysafe yP sort of citizen to whom to entrust power if there should be a change of government." Politicians do not often thus express themselves so kindlyregarding lead- ing men in the opposing party, and it is pleasing to see Mr. McKay step aside from the beaten path of wholes sale denunciation. to speak well of the Conservative leader. If more of this was done, where it is deserved, the political arena would be mare pleasing and the welfare of the country would not suffer in the least. * ** —The era, of peace does not seem to have dawned on the world yet, al- though bere and there are glimmers of the dawn. Just now this old world is subject to many disturbing infiu- epees. What with Trusts, Labor troublee,: dynamiting, divorce tour•te, r ,y andtheforeign ele- ment. t scion re n els= "the race the halted States has he own trouble's.

Sharp and even bitter as parliament- ary debates often are, there are occa- sionally breaks in the clouds that let In the sunshine of smiles.. 'The follow- ing is an instance, which we repro- duce from the daily papers :— Dr. Chisholm (East Huron) said he had been accused of favoring. recipro- city. This statement had been Made in the Legislature of Ontario and had been repeated by the Liberal press. He had said in his speech upon the ad- dress that be would favor reciprocity ander certain conditions. Those con- ditions were that the tatiffs of the two countries should fleet be t'gnelized. Nothing of the kind. had been at- tempted or accomplished. • If recipro- city was adopted we would still be confronted by the American tariff wail of 42 per cent., while our tariff against the Unitt.d States was only 21 per cent. "I favor reciprocity," he declared, "but it is the kind of reci- procity which Sir John Macdonald favored. I am opposed to the kind of' reciprocity which he appo.ed, and died fighting against. My objection to this, agreement is, namely, that it is a jug -bandied agreement, It is a jug with a handle twelvdi times as big as itself. We get into the American market, it true, but in return there- for weaadmit into our market not only the United States, but twelve,' other favored natione." Dr. Chisholm then read , to the House, amid continued applause and uproarious laughter, the portions of two letters received by hire from con- stituents. The fleet letter which he react was wzWere ostensibly in favor of the pact. The letter follows "Wingbam, March 19, 1011. "Dear Dr. Chisholm :—I thought I would drop -yon a few lines to warn you 'about reciprocity. Tell ths:Gov- ernment to be very careful when deal- ing with the Yankees. I got bit with one of those gentlemen once myself. I had an old mare that hal been a faithful servant to me for thirty y©ars, and I was at work plowing near the highways one day with her, when one of those chaps came along and asked me how I wonld trade that old mare for his brown colt. After driv- ing a hard bargain for a while, I gave him ten dollars and the old mare for his brown colt. He was scarcely out of sight when I discovered that the brown colt was two years older than my old mare. Also, he was heavy and balky, I only had him about three days when it kicked the brains out of my good collie dog, and that was worth more than both the horses. Everybody was' laughing at me, so I just knocked the brown colt on the head and drew the colt and dog out in the field so• I could bury them both in the one grave. The very next day the Yankee came along when 1 was in the field and_sold my old woman three dollars' worth of Bologna sausage, and he never told her they were made out of our old snare. When he was leaving, his eyes fell on the brown colt and the dog lying out in the field, and he asked my old woman if he might tape them home with hirn in his light wagon, and she saki he. could. I was told afterwards that he made a lot of sausage out of theta, too, and sold their hides for three dollars and a half. I got nothing except three dol - len' worth of sausage, and I buried that and erected a slab with an in- scription on•it to the memory of my old mare. Tell the Government to be very careful how they deal with those people, for they always make sure to got the best of the bargain. J. 1I. Stephinson." Advance.

They Want Protection, A despatch from Ottawa dated April 21, says :--Inview of the epidemic of typhoid fever which took place during the winter, and the more recent out- break of smallpox in Ottawa, a peti- tion. le being eirculatecl among the members of the House of Commons by Dr. Chisholm of East Huron, and other physicians, calling upon the Government to take some steps to protect the health of the members of Pitrliarnont, They ask the Govern- ment to appoint a sanitary expert to supervise the sanitation and ventila- Lion of the Parliament buildings, The petition is being signed by many members on both sides of the House. Clean Up Now. Could anything be more disgusting than the average hennery at this sea- son of the year ? Many henneries are not cleaned from fall until spring, and then from epring to fall again. Direase germs, and lice are given every opportnnity to play havoc with the flock. This is particularly true in the warm summer months, as during the winter the ternperature' is too low for bacterial and insect growth to make rapid headway. The thorough cleansing of the hen house and the liberal use of whitewash would be tiine well spent. During the summer, if possible, the hen house should be whitewashed two or three times and cleansed every few days. Keep This In Mind. Friday evening, May 5":h, has been chosen for the rendition of that pleas- ing cantata, "Bethlehem," under the auspices of the choir of the Baptist. Church, assisted by other local talent. Besides the cantata, other musical selectious will be given, making one of the best musical programmes ever given in town by local Talent. Mr. J. 11.

Keep this date open and encourage the enterprise by your practical support. Watch for the programmes. Not All Gone, Roderick McKenzie, writing in the Weekly Suu says :—"Where are the children ? When I was a lad there were within two miles of my home in Huron County one hundred and ten children. To -day there are only two. Grown people there are; children there are not. IIas Ontario •so soon lost the virility of its pioneer an- cestry? Has the childless age come?" Roderick would not need to ask— 'Where are the children ?, if he waik- ed up John street, Wingham, when the Public School and high School pleats are let go for their noon -day *cleat. Ile would in all probability meet one or more strings of five six full-grown girls arm in arm, stretched clear across the sidewalk, and might consider himself fortunate if he did not bave to climb up on to some per- son's•lawn, or take the road, to allow the "strings" to pass. Yes, there are a few left here andwe are pleasedto fw et r 1 e see they have not all disappeared, How Fanners Will Benefit, "McCawl, April 18, 1011, Dr. 3. Chisholm, M, P. Dear Sir :—I write to say that I am inclined to favor reciprocity, I am sure the farmers will get a better price for their turnips and their, calves. We raise a great many Swede turnips in this country, and the Yankees conte over and buy theirs the carload, n by o , a d sometimes by the train -load, They take them over to the United States, where they grind them up very fine and sweeten and color them and then mix them with timothy seed that has been kept so long hi some of their wholesale houses that it has lost its vitality and is no nse for Beed or ' any other purpose, This is then sent bole act to Canada as canned strawberries, Now, it is plata that if we bad reciprocity we would not only get a better price forour turnips, but we wonld also get our tanned strawberries at a greatly re- elueedRam _ rice. Then thee° Y p s e an - kens also come over and buy our calves when they are less than a day old and take, them to the ITited States and convert them into canned chicken and their hides into genuine kid gloves, and they send these back to Canada also to be sold. .Hurrah for reeiproeity, bob • veal, canned Chicken and cheap strawberry pee - servo.
