EL,LIO1T, P!BriSnI:R AND PROPIETOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1913 LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COUL.SE. It will he interesting to watch the efforts of the Tories to prevent hearing of the Chateauguay election trial. By invoking every possible legal hindrance to the court's of justice they delayed the MacDonald protest from November the 18th, 1912 until November llth, I913, with the result that for a year the rid- ing was misrepresented, with a man sent to Parlian.ent by such notoriously corrupt methods that even Hon. 3Ir. Rogers did not dare dfefend them in court. The same "Minister of Buy - Elections" had charge of Chateauguay. Similar methods were practised by the same men who had worked in MacDon- ald. Will Hon. Mr. Rogers have the cynical audacity to follow the MacDon- ald precedent throughout? It may be possible by a system of filing objections and appealing techni- cal decisions from court to court to de- lay the Chateauguay protest until a general election is in sight. Will Pre- mier Borden dare again to flout public opinion in this way after his pre-election promises "To expedite the hearing of election charges and to provide for the thorough investigation of corrupt prac- tises?" EVEN TORIES TURN. In his Halifax platform Mr. Borden said, "We will favour a thorough and complete reform of the laws relating to the Civil Service so that future appointments shall be made by an in- dependent commission, acting upon the report of examiners after competitive examinations." Before Mr. Borden arrived in office the Laurier govern- ment had put the inside service under a commission, so that to this extent the patronage evil was done away with After the election of the Borden gov- ernment, Civil Service reform not merely stopped, it became Civil Service deform. Never was such a mad scramble for office known. Never has the country seen such a rush to dismiss every possible Liberal from the Civil Service. During two years of Borden rule the Civil Service has been tampered with as never before. During these two years not a move has been made to re- form the Outside Service along the lines adopted by the Laurier govern- ment for the Inside Service. So great has the evil become that Messrs. Fripp and Chabot, the Conservative M.P.'s for Ottawa have published an earnest demand that the Outside Service be put under a commission, with the ingenuous rider that they are "favorable to appointment on a basis of physical and technical fitness." That last remark Capital Paid Up 53,000,000. Reserve $3.750,OLO. ":t31 Assets Over 030.000. Working for Others THE man who Looks into the future and pictures hifn- self the owner of a business will live to learn that his visions will always he dreams unless his foresight has shown him the need r f saving. Saving is not a habit that should be started "some- time," but one tha;, re,;sire - immediate aetioa As C''an:f days as you lsstq rte c,,^eh- ing a bank account, ,asst that many more days will you be working for others. One dollar will open a savings account with this bank, and the highest rate of current interest will be credited every six months. C. P. sMITA Manager, Wingham will probably spoil their ease, It is I political fitness that the Borden -Rogers combination requires, and nothing else. ONTARIO'S MORTALITY. The most striking presentation of the case against tuberculosis ever circulated in Canada is that just issued by the National Sanitarium Association for the use of Ministers participating in Tubetculosis Sunday, Nov. 30. The annual death list in Ontario alone is 2250, of whom oae-third of the victims are in their prime, between the ages of 18 and 45. Tleis means that from one-tenth to one-seventh of the mor- tality in the Province is due to C"on- sumption-a curable and preventible disease -or, in other words, one person dies every four hours. Black as the record is, the other side of the shield gives Canadians something to hope for. By education, segregation of cases, cleaning up of the sources of the plague, and by curative methods; the present death rate shows a decrease of 1155 from that of 1899, This is in spite of the increase in population and the large influx of diseased foreigners whu have managed to avoid deporation. EDITORIAL NOTES It is stated that the estimates now being prepared by the various depart- ments for the coming session of par- liament include no less than $50,000,000 for public works, much of which is simply for the continuation of works started last session. The huge sum will undoubtedly be considerably added to with appropriations for new works before next session is over, Hon. Rob- ert Rogers is a record spender of the people's money. With a record of forty-two years In the continuous service of his country, thirty-two of which have been given to the leadership of the Liberal party, with fifteen years as Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier celebrated his seventy-second birthday on Friday. Sir Wilfrid is in splendid health and spirits, in fact each birthday seems to find him stronger and in better health than the last. He spent the day at home, where he received many callers who desired to extend their congratu- lations and best wishes. On Monday he went to Hamilton, where addressed two meetings, while he has numerous other engagements to fill before the re- opening of session. ADVERTISE 1S E v T.

Do not get out of patience or scold or shake your baby for /crying. He does not do that to be ugly -that is not a baby's nature -he waits to laugh and be happy but when he cries that is the way he takes of telling you he is in pain; that his little stol'hach is out of order or that his 4v7/ teeth hurt him. Instead of being cross,give him a dose of Baby's Own Tablets and you will soon see him laughing and happy again. The Tablets sweeten the stomach; make teething painless; breaks up colds; cure constipation and expel worms.

Ferguson, one of Listowel's best known residents, in his eightieth year. The deceased was a former editor of The Listowel Banner, a ft rmer Coun- cillor, member of the High School Board, and a man of great literary ability. He was specially known as a great checker player, and possibly had very few, if any, equals in Ontario. While playing a game last Saturday night with another, skilled local checker player, he suddenly became unconscious, and fell forward on the board. He was in a critical condition, but Monday morning felt so improved that he got out of bed, walked down stairs, but died shortly after in convulsion, when taken back to bed.

The goods were at once seized and removed. The hearing will be before R. Graham, J. P., on Thursday next at Lucknow. The above furs were out of season. • lS E LGRA V E.
