EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Mac lenald :Manitoba by-election
has been voided. Mr. Morrison, the
Conservative candidate on Monday
handed in a long written statement, in
which he admitted that corrupt acts on
the part of his agents during the cam-
paign were not of a trivial nature.
For the third consecutive month the
customs revenue of the Dominion agar
shows a decrease, ns compared with
last year. The customs receipts for
October totalled $9,241,635, a falling
off of $972,911, as compared with Octo-
ber of last year. The customs revenue
for the past three months is approxi-
mately $1,100,0(10 less than for the
same period of last year although
the gains earlier in the year still enable
the department to show an increase of
a little over one million dollars for the
first seven months of the fiscal year.
During the past season 938 home_
steads have been taken out in northern
Ontario, representing settlement of
140,780 acres. Settlers with their fam-
ilies have added to the northern popu-
lation about 4,000 soul:. The rich agri-
cultural district around Matheson seems
to have attracted the largest number -
378 sealers going in on 6'1,180 acres.
Cochrane follows with 270 on 41,900
acres; New Liskeard, 155 on 14,800;
Englehart, 97 on 15,529; Halleybury, 38
on 0,09. ,
Although his demands for armouries
and drill halls were eat upon some
months ago by Hon. Mr. Rogers and
other spending expert- in the Cabinet,
Col. the Hon. Sam Hughes still con-
trives to get in a little fire work on his
militaristic propaganda when the
"Minister of Elections" ie away. His
latest exploit is the expenditure of $136,-
000 to purchase 68,000 acres of land in
New Brunswick for use as a manoeuvre
area. Next year Col. Sam will be able
to take his gold-plated brigade around
and show them how to improve on
Europeon army manoeuvres, if the
people are still willing to pay for his
extravagances.
Mr. Samuel Dickson, who has been
postmaster at Seaforth for forty-nine
years has been dismissed and Mr. J. A.
Williams, of Zurich appointed in his
place. The excuse is made that it is
advisable to make a change when the
office is moved into the new building.
The Seaforth Expositor in referring to
the change says in part: -"This is the
first and only information Mr. Dickson
received from the Department that a
change was contemplated. or that his
services were to be dispensed with.
Why the construction and occupancy of
the new public building should neces-
sitate a change of Postrnasfer no ex-
planation has been given. and we fancy
it would puzzle the Depat•tment or any

Manner. WVingbaht
other person to formulate a reason
It is simply a miserable pretext and is
'n keeping with the whole proceedings
throughont. Such a heartless and cold_
blooded proceeding has never been per
petrated by a Government in Canada
and no private corporation or company
in the world would treat an old and
faithful official in like manner."
Detailed reports of Canadian trade
for the first five months of the present
fiscal year show that the bulk of the
trade growth is still due to our "truck
and trade" with the great country next
door. Canada's imports from and ex-
ports to the United States for the five
months totalled $243,202,226, or nearly
60 per cent. of the Dominion's total
trade with the world. Trade with
Great 13ritain totalled $152,110,069,
Imports from the United States for
the five months totalled $186,384,959,
as compared with $61,070,476 from
Great Britain, and $280,184,572 from
all countries. Exports of Canadian
products to the United States totalled
$16,817,267, and to Great Britain $72,
805,932. Canada's sales to British
Dominions and colonies during the five
months totalled nearly $11,09(),000,
For some time after the new Ameri-
can tariff went into effect Conservative
papers tried to meet the demand for
free wheat and flour so as to secure
free entrance for these products into
U.S. markets by declaring they can
get in free anyway under the provisions
of the Underwood Law. A few days
ago Secretary Ilamlin of the U. S.
Treasury made the following ruling:
"Wheat and wheat flour will not be ad-
mitted free to the U.S. from those
countries which decline to admit free of
duty similar products from the U.S."
And the trouble is that the interests
which control the Borden Government
are afraid that once the Canadian
people are given a taste of free food-
stuffs they will redouble their support
to the Liberal demand of general tariff
reduction,
When you cannot successfully fight a
thing all is not lost, you canstill embrace
it. This seems to be the attitude that the
Conservative party is preparing to take
towards reciprocity, By fooling the
people with a multitude of side issues,
having one policy in Quebec, another in
Ontario, and still another in the Mari-
time Provinces, and by shouting from
Sydney to Victoria the eternal verities
of the old flag, they achieved a fugitive
success against this issue. But the
issue has continued to haunt them.
Now we are to have reciprocity fused
with higher protection for the manu-
facturers and siphoned through through
the present Cabinet. The tumult and
the shouting dies; the catchwords to
catch votes are forgotton, and on every
hand Conservatives are heard saying
"We never believed that reciprocity
was really bad: we never believed it
would ruin our farmers or sever us
from. our allegiance, although we pro-
claimed that it would, from every plrat-
form. We did that to get into power,
and we would gladly do so again." -St.
John Telegraph.

Another pioneer has gone in the per-
son of Mr. Andrew McGrath, of this
village, who passed on to the higher
stage of life very suddenly on Wednes-
day morning, Oct. 29th, having dropped
dead while at his work. He leaves,
besides his wife, four daughters to
mourn his loss, viz.: -Mrs. Gobn, of
Welland; Mrs. (Dr.) Noble, of Toron-
to; Mrs, Taylor, of Hamilton, and Mre,
Jos. Beswitherick, Fordwich; also one
brother, Richard, of Gorrie, and one
sister, who lives at Riverview. De-
ceased was born in Quebee in the year
1834, and when called away was in his
79th year. He came to Howick 58 years
ago and settled on a farm on the second
con., which place he cleared and work-
ed. Shortly after coming to this town-
ship he was married to a Miss Franklin
of the first con., and together they bore
the hardships of pioneer life. They
moved to this village 32 years ago. He
was kind to children andyau could often
see a group of them following him. He
could discuss history and polities intelli-
gently, and was quite a genius in writ-
ing poetry, many a well -composed poem
of his being sent to the local paper.

Regardless of the breed, hogs. like
other classes of stock, thrive best when
they are comfortable. They need shade
and plenty of clean water in the sum-

In wet milking, the first -drawn milk
is usually used for dampening the hands,
and this should be discarded altogether
instead of applying to the teats to be
washed into the pail later on, Thus
the danger of taints is increased.
