Et,WOTT, PustasnEK dND PROBIETOx THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1913 . EDITORIAL NOTES The die is cast in North Grey. Thurs- day a writ, was issued for the bye -elec- tion caused by the resignation of Hon. A. G MacKay, Nominations will be held on July 7 and voting on July 14. Mr. John McQuaker, Owen Sound, is the Liberal candidate, and Mr. Colin Cameron, the Conservative. Sir Wilfrid Laurier intends to tour Ontario and Quebec and address a series of meetings in each Province before the next session of Parliament opens. The meetings will probably begin dur- ing the latter part of August and con- tinue during September. Sir Wilfrid will spend the next month at the capital and holidaying with friends, probably in the mountains of the New England States. The blue book just published by the Dominion Government of the criminal statistics for the Dominion for the year makes very pleasant reading. There were 12,627 convictions for indictable offences in the several Provinces of the Dominion during the year ended as mentioned above, as compared with 11,. 700 convictions the year before, an in- crease of 0.27. The ratio of crime in Canada has increased from 8.2 per 10,- 000 inhabitants in 1871 to 10.5 in 1901, and to 17,3 in 1911, or more than doub- ling in twenty years. -Hamilton Times. Mr. Cockshutt, M. P., was very wide of the mark indeed when he told parlia- ment that he knew of families living in affluence on not much over nine hundred a year. It would be interesting to know whether the aforesaid families are in Canada or China. They can't do it in Sudbury, that's certain. If what Mr. Cockshutt says is true, there is no need to issue a royal commission to in- vestigate the housekeepers' problem. All that is necessary is for the latter to ask of the member for Brantford. - Sud- bury Star. It is said that Fnglishmen smoke 12,- 000,000,000 Cigarettes annually. The largest department of the tobacco trade all over the world is now cigarettes, and the habit seems to be growing more widespread every year. The explan- ation advanced is that this is an indust- rial age. Working persons have often a short interval of rest during which they have not time to smoke a pipe and so instead take a few whiffs of a cigar- ette. By the way, cigarettes are gen- erally recognized to be enervating. Does this account for the world-wide agitation for shorter hours? -Victoria Colonist. The strangest anomaly of modern times is the fact shown so clearly by Henry George in his most famous work, that progress and poverty go together. In spite of the abounding wealth of the world, and the growing power of man- kind, the curse of poverty continues and deepens. However great the swel- ling of the river of wealth, in some mysterious way it is tapped in such a way that it never reaches the people who nerd it most. It is diverted from its course instead of being allowed to freight the burdens of the common peo- ple over the shallows of privation. - Ottawa Citizen. A SHORT CAMPAIGN. the parties have been almost evenly matched. The Liberals this time, however, feel that victory will be theirs. The Cabin- et scandal involving both Hon. W. J. Hanna and Sir James Whitney has de- servedly shaken public confidence in the Government, and when once is shaken as it has been during the last two months the Government starts on the down -hill road. The Liberal policies are popular in this Riding, not only Abolish the Bar but the whole program of social legis- lation including Workmen's Compensa- tion and Adequate Factory Laws. The Whitney Government is also unpopular owing to its inefficient policies in Agri- culture and Education and it is freely said that the independent voters are, in this election to quite a remarkable de- gree of unanimity, in accord with Liber- al policies and are going to vote to see their ideas carried out. July 1-ith is the date of the bye -elec- tion in Nnrth Grey for the Ontario Leg- islature. This means that polling day Is Iess than three weeks off and a short sharp campaign is, therefore, the order of the day. Both parties, headed by John McQuaker, Liberal candidate, and Colin Cameron, Conservative nominee, begin holding public meetings on Mon- day, June 23rd and indications point to a great Hood of speakers of both Cons- ervatives and Literals in every party of the Riding, The most striking feature of the situation is the enthusiasm and con- fidence with which the Liberals are work- ing. The constituency is by no means a safe Liberal seat; in fact it has always been a very close Riding and with the exception of the last election when per- sonal considerations made Hon. A. G. McKay's election easy and inevitable, / ' ,�" � L,./.t>�' It �........... ""---_.

Many a dairyman no- tices a cow is good, her heifers may turn out to be good milkers, sometimes they do not. What is the trouble? Apart from such considerations as feed, care and health, look for one moment at the possible value of the sire. It has been noted many a time that the cows bred to a particular bull have dropped good milking progeny: that bull came from good milking ances- try. There is the virtue of heredity worth thousands of dollars to our dairy- ing industry. The melancholy reflection is that scores of these good milkers can be traced to sires that have been sold for beef long before their real value had become known. The dairyman who is doing anything at testing his individual cows, and all progressive dairymen appreciate the far reaching benefits of such study, knows that it would be worth at least 1,2000 pounds of milk extra per cow to secure the right bull. All members of cow testing associations should co-oper- ate in the purchase good pure bred sires changing them round after two years in one section, and prove thereby the immense value of heredity in their own herds. CANADA'S REAL HUMILIATION. On the day parliament prorogued Premier Bordon made a last effort to hide his own mistakes with regard to the Naval. Aid Bill, by saying that the action of the Senate in refusing to pass the Bill until the people had passed judgment upon it "is intensely humiliat- ing to the people of Canada." It was not the Senate that humiliated Canada, it was Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden, Premier of Canada. It was Mr. Borden who declared if Parliament did not quickly give him his emergency grant he would appeal to the people -and repudiated his solemn obligation when faced with the issue. It was Mr. Borden who formed the Nationalist alliance which was at the back of his anti -Imperial conduct. It was Mr. Borden who preferred power and the sweets of office to patriot- ism or even truthfulness. It was Mr. Borden who, when Parlia- ment refused the contribution hid be- hind the cheap pretext that the Senate did not represent the people, and so re- fused to keep his word. It was Mr. Borden who tried to co- erce Parliament by the aid of his forsworn Nationalist allies; who pre- ferred the dishonor of being false to the pledges upon which the people elected him to facing the people. It was Mr. Borden who finally tried to make the people of Canada believe that because the British Admiralty is continuing a long prepared naval pro- gramme they are doing so because the Senate defeated his naval Bill -knowing full well the British government is doing nothing of the kind and that he himself, not the Senate, defeated it, rather than appeal to the people. 1n the face of the bareen results of two years of Borden rule, the achieve- ments of the Laurier Government in its first two years, as enumerated by the Belleville Ontario shine out glow- ingly: "Laurier gave us the British prefer- ence, inaugurated two -cent postage in Canada, and between Canada and Great Britain, wiped out a deficit of eight hundre 1 thousand dollars per annum in the post office department, introduced an immigration policy that has made our Dominion the Mecca of every de. sirable people in the world, extended the intercolonial railway to Montreal and converted a huge annual deficit into a surplus, established cold storage on the steamship lines between Canada and England and'; transformed our out- going commerce from stagnation to prosperity, averted a national crisis by forming an agreement with Manitoba on the vexed schools question -these are only a few of the statesmanlike ac- complishments of the Laurier adminis- tration during its first two years in office." The contrast is so striking that the Conservative press had to resort to magnifying the efforts bf the Post - muter General in extending the rural maii delivery system instituted by his Liberal predecessor, in order' to make anything like a showing. TIIF DAN6[R OF ANAEMIA Consumption May Follow Unless its Ravages Are' Checked, There is danger to every girt and every woman who falls a victim to anaemia -that is bloodlessness. They become listless, feel two weak, too wretched and too hopeless to take prompt steps to stop the trouble. Too often, through neglect, they drift into a Worse condition, forgetting that anaemia fre- quently leads on to consumption. If you are anaemic in the least degree you should lose no time in beginning treatment, to increase and enrich the blood supply, To do this there is no other medicine so good as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Every dose helps make rich, red blood, which drives out disease and brings again the bloom of health to pale and sallow cheeks, There are thousands of women and growing girls in Canada who owe their present good :lth to the timely use of Dr, Will': s' Pink Pills. Among those who h e been re- stored to health by this eat medicine is Miss Rose Neville, Mo t Forest, Ont„ who says: "Dr. Willi: ms' Pink Pills performed almost a racle in my case. I was a victim o an: mia, in what my friends conside :d a dangerous form. I was very pale, - ays felt tired out, suffered from severe headaches, and had no appetite. I was taking doctor's medicine for a Tong time -in fact I tried two doctors -but instead of improving I seemed to be growing worse, My parents were at a loss to know what to do for me and thought I would not re- cover. Then a friend advised Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills and I had only taken them a few weeks when I beganto feel better. This greatly encour- aged me and I continued taking the Pills for some time longer, and found my health again as good as ever it had been. In fact I am stronger than ever I was before, I have advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to other girls who have found the results equal beneficial." Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. BLURVALE Big celebration in Wingham on Dom- inion Day. Rev.
