The Wingham Advance, 1911-12-07, Page 1-411IFF\ The gingham Advance. 40TH YEAR, NO. 15. HERE ARE FIFTEEN REASONS WHY 'MR, MUSGROVE SHOULD BE ELECTED ofexcellent harac er ' am•nexc t 1- c use he� xc . Be a a 2 --Because he bas been a resident of the riding since he was a boy, and a prominent, useful and public spirited citizen of its principal Town for over twenty years. 3 -Because he proved himself a very capable and efficient representative of North Huron iu the Legislative term recently ended.. 4 -Because he has always been willing to assist in any effort pertaining to the general welfare of the community.. 5 -Because he is a "home man," and not a resident of another riding. 0 -Because repeated efforts failedto produce a resident of North Huron desirous of contesting the riding against him.. 7 -Because bis experience in the past bas given him a standing, that will make him even more effective in the Legislature in the future, 8 -Because he is a ready and able speaker. 9 -Because few men, either in or out of the Legislature, have a better grasp of the questions of the day. 10 -Because being a Public School teacher for so many years, he can dis- cuss their needs in the Legislature from the standpoint of practical ex- perience. 11 -Because being a supporter of the Administration, his presentation of a subject is likely to have more weight in the Legislature than that of an op- ponent of the Government. 12 --Because, as he has only bad one term, and has done nothing to forfeit the confidence reposed in him, he is entitled to re-election. 13 -Because he is not engaged in any other business, and is at liberty to give hie full time to the interests of the riding. 14 ---Because his presence in the Legislature, and his ability to present his views in au intelligent and forcible manner, have been appreciated by a large majority in the Legislature. 15- Because he is a supporter of a progressive Government -a Govern- ment that has accomplished more in the seven years it has been in power, than any other Administration in the fame length of time -a Government without a scandal. SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. -Oh .Brantford I Have you any more orators to spare ? If so, please spare Wingham audiences the an- guish. Send them to the uttermost parte of the earth. • «« -In the Iasi five years, the munici- palities of County of Huron has re- ceived $12,770 00 from the Railway tax collected by the Ontario Govern- ment. In 1904, the county received nothing from that source. « « « -At the Nomination on Monday, seventeen Conservative candidates were elected by • acclamation, and in several other ridings no Liberal entered the contest. Well, well 1 Did you ever see such a sight ? Seventeen of a start * « « -The first division in the Commons for the present session took place on November 29th, and resulted in a majority of 44 for the Government: 20 members were absent, most of them paired. With the speaker, the Gov- ernment majority is given as 46. « « « -Even Liberals admit that the Ontario Government cannot now be defeated. Much money will be spent in continuing its policy, but Sir James Whitney's integrity is a guarantee, that (as in the past.) all expenditures will be made without waste, or even the suspicion of graft, and that the country will secure the fullest benefit from the outlays. .*« -Stripped of flowery language and glittering generalities, there is a wonderful similarity y between the platform submitted by the Ontario Opposition and the policies adopted and in progress by Sir James P. Whitney and his Government. They are so very similar, that they bring to mind the old saying that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." * • • -Rt girding changes in the Assess- ment law, Sir Jas. Premier Whitney has made it clear that some amend- ments are necessary, but he rightly says that these should be well con- sidered by a committee appointed for the purpose. The Premier is opposed to the scheme of taxing land indepen- dent of improvements, but declares unmistakably that if the people want this sort of thing, they can have it. That is aperfectly sane attitude to adopt. .« -Nothing of moment has developed, in criticism of the present Government of Ontario. All the issues raised are small ones, which every elector can perceive are simply brought ht forward In an attempt to divert public atten- tion from the main queation-=-Ontario's advancement and prosperityunder Conservative Administrations ,nd the absolute freedom of the latter, from the taint of Wrong doing- aotnething ►vh few Governments in Canada hie ad a can boast of, after seven years in office.

Although there was quite an exciting time here. I was very much interest- ed in the Huron elections, and was very much gratified at the result, I would like to give Me.

Rev. Dr. Rutledge's sermon on Sun- day evening was timely and earnest. It might be termed -"Lessons from the failure of Solomon," and was based on Kings 11:11-"I will surely rend the Kingdom from thee." The lessons deduced were :-1-"The in- adequacy of a single high ideal." 2 - "The danger of dallying with tempta- tion." 3 -"The evil of compromise." The discourse was particularly ap- plicable to young people, but those advanced in years might profit by its teachings. Onr Father and our God, we come. to Thee as little children, rejoicing in Thy love, Thou art our joy above all Thy bounteous gifts. Grant us exceeding abundantly above all we are able to ask or think, and help us by Thy grace to measure up to Thy rich blessings outpoured. Help us to rise above the level of our besetting temptations and fears, and walk erect and sure, strong in faith, 'and with clearer vision, gaining ever new atti- tudes of strength and boy, and useful- ness in Thy service. Fill us with the Christ Spirit of love and sympathy for our needy fellow -men that our lives may become channels of the divine love outpoured. Give us the humble and obedient heart glad to make Thy will our law in all things. Thus make us truly Thy servants, counted worthy at last to enter the Heavenly rest through faith in Christ our Lord.
