42ND YEAR, NO. 26
WI N t HA.M, ONT,, THURSDAY, MARCH
Mx A. H. MusceovE, M.P.P.
The following are some of the points
dealt with by Mr. A. H. Musgrove, M.
P. P., in his speech in the Legislature on
Thursday last, His colleagues in the
House class our member's speeches as
among the very ablest that are delivered
before that body. North Huron is proud
to have a member of Cabinet timber.
In replying to the charge so often made
of an a'liance between the Government
and the liquor interests, Mr. Musgrove
challenged proof of this statement point-
ing out from the time Sir James Whitney
came into power strong efforts had been
made to enforce the License law. The Ross
Government had done very little to en-
force the law in local option territory and
for this reason local option was losing its
force. The present Government appoint-
ed Rev. Mr. Ayerst, whose duty it was to
enforce the law in local option districts,
and his work had been effective. All ad-
mitted the great evils of the drink habit,
and the misery and distress caused by it,
and the only questioa between the two
parties was the best method of leescning
this evil.
By means of local option, or the Scott
Act, the trade could be prohibited by the
voters in any community, where there
was sufficient public opinion to secure en-
forcement. This could be done without
dividing the temperance forces on political
lines. As an illustration of this Mr. Mus-
grove pointed out the large majority for
the Scott Act in Huron County where all
the temperance forces united irrespective
of party affiliations, to further the interests
of their cause—As to the three -fifth re
quirement, Mr. Musgrove quoted from the
Huron Expositor the statement "That it
would have been a great misfortune had
the majority in Huron been narrow on
either side."
Turning from this aspect of the question
the speaker ably reviewed the history of
the Reform party on the question of tem-
perance and showed in a very convincing
manner that the Reform party, though
making many promises, bad failed to ful-
fil them.
Sir Oliver Mowat had repeatedly pro-
mised prohibition, and in 1801 had a
plebiscite taken in the Province of On-
tario. The vote was—for 180,087, against
108495, a majority for of 71,592,—being
02% of the vote polled, yet, although this
vote was more than the present three -fifth
requirement Sir Oliver refused to do any-
thing.
When the great Reform Convention
met in Ottawa, in 1893, a prohibition
plank was placed in their platform. Some
time afterwards when speaking in Winni-
peg, Sir Wilfrid Laurier promised a
plebiscite, and promised if the vote were
favorable to grant prohibition. The vote
was taken in 1807. The majority was
over 13,000 yet Sir Wilfrid did nothing, and
the Reform party fell in behind him. Mr.
w ll did notdenounce Wilfrid, ut
Ro e 4 ce Sir b
instead was Reform candidate in West
York at the next election, In Ontario the
vote was—for 152,337, against 102,038,
majority for 49,099 or 60%—another three-
fifths.
Previous to this time, a large delegation
from the temperance forces waited upon
Sir Oliver Mowat demanding a fulfilment
of his premise. Sir Oliver gave them a
written promise that he would grant pro-
hibition to the full extent of Provincial
power. To this promise Messrs. Hardy
and Ross, leading members of his Cabinet
also assented.
About this time the Manitoba Legisla-
ture had passed a prohibitory Act, but
doubting the power of the Province to do
so, submitted this Act to the Imperial
PrivyCouncil. The decision of the Privy
Council was—that the Province of Mani-
toba had power to pass a prohibitory Act.
The Constitutional question having been
decided, the temperance party now called
upon lion. Geer W. Ross, who had sue-
`seeded to the Premiership to fulfill the
pledge made, by Sir Oliver, Mr. Ilsrdy
and himself. Hon. G. W. Ross hesitated
and his temperance friends were dumb-
founded.
p t
founded. Surely this man who had ttad
ed on temperance for thirty years was not
going 10 desert them. lion. Mr. Ross
siege had arrived at the Red.. Sea, surrounded
on all sides by promises made, and pur-
sued by the temperance forces, he knew
which wayto turn when suddenly nott a
turn,
.when
modern Moses, in the person of the Rev.
J. A. Macdonald, editor of the Westrein-
sten appealed, and with voice of the Siren
whispered-=•t°Take refuge in a Referen-
dum." Sir George took this advice and
in the .Session of 1002, passed a proltibi•
tory law, which was to become effective
upon it vote of the people.
Although sorely disappointed, yet the
temperance patty, remembering their two
p,ort victories in Onset -to were quite Will -
majority --the temperance party were to
poll at least one half the number of votes
polled in the Provincial election of 1808
The loaded Referendum was voted on and
the vote stood for 199,749, against 104,539.
A majority for of 85,210 or 06%. The vote
fell about 12,000 short of the requirements
of the Act,—and so for a third time a Re-
form Government had duped the temper-
ance party. Mr. Musgrove quoted from
the .Globe of 1905 to show that many
honest Reformers had voted against their
party because of political corruption and
betrayal of the temperance electors—that
many of the better class of Reformers had
done so.
He then read from the Globo accounts
of meetings held just previous to the
elections of 1905—when thousands were
deserting the Reform party, held at Ap-
din, Glencoe and Stratford, and addressed
by N. W. Rowell, K. C., Toronto, where
the "swing of victory was in the air," and
where Mr. Rowell pleaded for the electors
to return Ross to power—"This man," he
said, who was too partizan to desert the
corrupt and moribund Ross Government
that had betrayed its trust, does he,ex-
pect Conservatives to desert an upright
and honest leader like Sir James Whitney
to follow one who saw nothing wrong in
the Ross Government.
In dealing with the oft repeated state-
ment by Mr. Rowell, that the rur;il popu-
lation of Ontario had decreased by 113000,
and that the"' present Government was
largely responsible for this decrease, Mr.
Musgrove quoted from the records to
show, that during the 'last nineteen years
of Reform rule, and under their much
lauded Minister of Agriculture, the late
Hon. John Dryden, the rural population
of Ontario had decreased 90,477, .and that
during the last ten years of Reform rule
this decrease had been 66,778, thus from
these figures the present government was
in no way responsible for all the decrease
in the rural population of Ontario Tak-
ing seven of the finest counties in Western
Ontario -- Bruce, Grey,. Huron, Perth,
Wellington, Oxrord and Middlesex, It was
shown that in these counties, the garden
of Ontario, that there had been a decrease
in the rural population of 29,970 between
the years 1895. and 1905. This took place
under the wonderful Reform Government.
—Turning to Mr. Rowell's lament at the
decreased production of cereal crops in
Ontario, Mr. Musgrove showed that, dur-
ing the past twenty years there had been•
a decided change in the nature and kind
of farm production. Changed methods
and mixed farming were the chief factors
in this change and that the decrease in
the production of cereal crops was more
than compensated, for, by an increase in
other lines, more profitable to the farmer
than that of growing grain.
The increase in value from 1005 to 1012
—the first seven years of Conservative
rule in this province—were a s follows :—
Oats $2,531,000, mixed grains $1,000,000.
The value of the root crops had increased
from. $I6,240,000 to $21,813,000—an in-
crease of $5,003,000 Fodder c' ops, corn,
hay, clover and alfalfa had increased from
$57,432,000 to $79,534,000 an increase in
the seven years of $22,102,000.
The results of the great increase in
root and fodder crops was to be found in
the very great increase in animals and
their produce. The following table was
given -The Value of horses sold had in-
creased 38 554,000, cattle $10,899,000,
swine $1,456,000, sheep $47,000, poultry
$1,908,000, butter and cheese $5,594,000,
or a total increase of $30,958,000. Sum-
ming up the four great sources of farm
production, grain, roots, food -crops, and.
animals and their produce Mr. Musgrove
showed that the increase during the past
bcen.
seven years hadas follows—
Grain $ 0,934.000
Roots 5,003,000
Food Crops 22,102,000
Animals, etc30,958,000
Total. $05,597,000
A very substantial increase in what the
farmer has to sell.
Coming to the permanent assets of the
farmers of Ontario the speaker pointed
that in all these .there had been a very
substantial increase. Value of land had
risen from $640,000,000 to $758,780,000,
an increase of 3109,780,000 or 17%.
Buildings from $264,000,000 to $325,140,-
000, an increase of $01,140,000 or 23%.
Implements from $08,360,000 to 380.000,-
000, an increase of $17,740,000, or 25%.
I.ive stock from $172,480,000 to $225,-
000,000, an increase of $52,520,000, or 30%.
A total increase in seven years of $241,-
130,000.
Tne value of these fonrdassets would if
divided among the rural population of the
Province give to every man, woman and
child the sum of $1300.
In the past, when periods of depression
carne the farming community was the first
to suffer, and while we all deplore the
want and. suffering of these but of em-
ployment at the present time, there never
was a time in the history of slur P 0
Vince
is hen a great financial depression so little
affected the farming community. Look
for a moment over the various countries
of Europe and America, examine the con-
ditiens under which the people live, then
come back to our own Province of On-
tario consider her political institutions,
her educational
facilities,
her humane
treatment of the unfortunate, her neat and
Well kept farms, her comfortable trot»ex,
her churches and schools -all her advan-
tages of civilization, soli and climate, and
the general comfort and happiness of her
people. When you have done ell this the
conclusion must be borne in upon the mind
Butt Ontario is behind no other country in
all that goe'y to make a happy and 'on.'

BIG REWARDS FOR LITTLE EFFORT
MAKE STRONG APPEAL TO LARGE
NUMBER. OF WILLING WORKERS
Twenty-eight Ambitious Contestants
are now Enthusiastically Engaged
Piling up votes in The ADVANCE'S
$800 Prize Voting Contest. Con-
test is still Open to New Contest-
ants.
"In dead earnest" is the only phrasewhich adequately indicates the atti-
tude of the candidates who have entered the Wingham Advance's great $800
Prize Voting Contest. Every contestant apparently realizes the fact tbat the
contest offers extraordinary rewards for comparatively little work and each
aspirant for the honors in this big event bac evidently gone into the contest
with the determination to win the capital prize. Already several of the cons
testants have made remarkably good bhowiogs, while others who have as yet
turned in very little business are, nevertheleae, working bard and are ressured
of sufficient support from their f, fends to put them away up in the voting
within a few days.
One contestant, who last week was rather dubious of her ability to secure
subscriptions for the Advance and the Canadian Ladies Home Journal has sur -
pt feed herself by easily securing a number this week and now declares it is the
easiest thing she ever tried to do. Like all other contestants who have turned
in business, she has discovered that her friends are glad to help her and that
its a rule all she has to do to secure a subscription is to ask for it. This candi-
date is now an enthusiastic worker, and is tight up among the top notebers.
Just a few days earnest effort has done the trick.
What this contestant has done any one else may do just as easily. Al-
most four weeks of the contest remain. In that time ally contestant with a
little real effort can pile up a tremendous vote. Every contestant should re-
member, however, that the early wotkwill produce the biggest results. For
atter March 14, the value of subscriptions will be 20 per cent, less than at pre-
sent.
Toe following are the names of those who have entered the contest them-
selves or who have been nominated by their friends :--
Mise Maggie McLean, Wingham Miss Francis Davis, Wingham
R M. Patten, Whitechurch C. W. Walker, Turnberry
Mise Pearl Stinson, Gorrie Bert Williams, Wingbam
Miss Mary Gibson, Fordwich Rey Turvey, Cranbrook
Mies Maud Fleury, Wingham J. E, Holmes, Wingham
Miss Elsie Gillespie, Wingham Miss Mary Ritchie, Wingham
Miss Rata Walker, Wingham Mise Verna Carruth, Wingham

Mise Margaret Anderson, Wroxeter Mise Mabel Menzies, Cranbrook
Mies Bernice Flood, Ethel Mies Ada McMichael, Bluevale
Miss Isobel Douglas, Lucknow 14liss Hazed Burgess, Biuesele
Miss Laura McCrea, Belgrave Miss Nellie Brooks, St. Helens
The contest is still open to any respectable man, woman or child within
the Advance's circulation zone, and conditions are still favorable to anyone
who cares to enter with the determination to work and win. Even a few days
serious, conscientious work will accomplish wonderful results.
No contestant can work for nothing. Every one is sure of fair compensa-
tion for his or her efforts, for in addition to the big prizes to be awarded, any
contestant who fails to win a prize is guaranteed 10 per cent. cash commission
on the business he or she turns in. If you are not in the race now and would
like to share in the distribution of the rewards to be given to workers in this
big contest, simply fill out the nomination blank printed on another page of
this issue and bring or send it to the Contest Manager. Receipt books will be
supplied you at once and you can start right in to win a prize. Do it now.
Fifteen Dollars' 'Donation.
Two young men from old Wingham
Called on a farmer to sting him.
They first wanted two steers
But hocked at the price it appears.
They then on a cow speculated
But the price they said was inflated.
Next the farmer priced a feminine pig
Even then the toll was too big.
Said farmer Jim, why came you then
You would not buy a clocking hen.
Quoth they to him, we trade a Lott
If you will swap, just do a trot
It matters not be it black or Gray
When we make a deal, we mean to
Stay.
The deal was made for 'twas a good
hooker
But when delivered was a very poor
looker.
A conference was then held the part-
ners between
But the farmer still has the dollars
flfteer.
Oh come ye Winghamites one and all,
Be you fat or thin or t,hort or tall,
When wo make a deal, we always stay
And we'll all go to Wingbam on $ day.

Pioneer Gone,
We regret to rept rt the death of
another of the early pioneers in the
person of Mary Ann Holloway, widow
of the late Francis Garnias, who was
called home on Monday last. The de-
ceased was born in Esees county and
fifty-five years ago came to Morris
with her husband on lot 12, con. 2,
where she resided up to the time of
her death. Her husband pre-deeeafed
her by four years. There was a family
of ten children ail of whom survive
but Miss Eliza, M., Who passed away in
February. The funeral took place op
Wednesday,afternoon from the family
reaidence to the Bluevale cemetery
and was largely attended. The sor-
rowing family will have the sympathy
of the community in their bereave-
ment.
Night With Burns.
A most suecesaful night with Burns
was spent in the Presbyterian Church
last Monday, Rev, D. Perrie giving an
excellent addrese on Scotland's poet.
This was illustrated by lantern slides,
There were several well rendered
Scottish songs during the evening and
a large crowd was in attendance.
Damaged by firC.
At 10.30 a. tn. on Monday, the fire
alarm was sounded, owing to a fire at
the residence of Mr. A. Mamie, of
town, but by the aid of the prompt
r rnen who were y
ofthefie
actionably
commanded by Chief Dineley, the fire
was quenched in very short time,
Considerable damage was done to the
house and snore to the interior, by
water. Arr there was a very high g•Lle
blowing at the time, it was very for-
tunate that the firemen responded so
quickly, or the result might have been
disastrous to adjoining buildings.
The very unfortunate part was that
Mrs. Cosene was seriously Min bed at
the time, and had to be assisted to s
neighbour's house. As Mr. Casette Is
ita the {neurones business, the loss no
doubt, was fully covered by insurance.

This famous event will be celebrated on. Tuesday, March 17th,
You will be surprised and overwhelmed with the Bargains our

What is Dollar Day?
What does it really mean ?
These are natural questions that should be answered. Dollar Day has two
objects. It means to combine business with pleasure. Wingbam will be the

great heartiness, and elsewhere on page 5 of this ebbe.. seIll be found an an-
noupcement with their statement that they are prepared to aria.:.d behind
Dollar Day and give unprecedented bargains and service. Dollar Day was no
augurated by the Brantford Expositor a year ago in that city. Over 15000
people from the surrounding district visited the city, and it was such a success
that this year it is being carried on, on a larger scale than ever.
This is its first year in WIngham, and we want to impress upon our read-
ers that it will not be its last, as our merchants are going to make it worth
while to all who come here that day.
All the merchants named on page 5 of this issue promise to sell more goods
for $1.00 on this day,than they ever did before. They will gather the bargains
from all parts of their store and lay their offerings before you.
The people should come to Wingham in great numbers and secure for
themselves euch bargains as will make them remember Tuesday, March 17tb.,
1914, as one of the most enjoyable days they ever spent. Remember you may
meet some friend here that you have not seen for years. Combine business
with pleasure and be in Wingham on the above date.
Watch the advertisements of our merchants and see what they offer.

The Evangelistic services, which
were held in the Methodist Church

there have been types of the• old fash-

was manifested, as revealed in the at-
tendance of these services, as every
night the Sunday School room was
entirely filled. A great many have
professed conversion and- the whole
church have been greatly stimulated.
