The Wingham Advance.
42ND YEAR, NO. 28,
Our Letter from Ontario's
Capital,
Toronto, Mar. 0
Monday—No business of importance
was transacted to -day. when the House
assembled the Hon. Mr. Foy, Acting -
premier, at once rose and in a very fit and
feeling manner referred to the death of
Sir Geo. W. Roes, at one time premier of
this province. Mr. Rowell has yet to get
away from his narrow and partizan spirit
of which he is possessed. Instead of
following the example of the Hon. Mr.
Foy and joining in a fitting eulogy to the
dead statesman Mr. Rowell took occasion
to deliver a political address of consider-
able length. This speech was evidently
in bad taste at this time. Other short
eulogistic speeches were also made by
Messrs. Marshall (Monk),Donovan (Brock-
ville) and the Hon. Dr. Pyne, Minister, of
Education. Then ont of memory for the
dead statesman the House adjourned for
the day.
Tuesday—The forenoon was as is usual
devoted to committee work where all
Bills (save Government Bills) are fully
discussed and threshed out. Here a
speak member may p ak as often o c as he pleases
and without rising from his seat. During
the forenoon Mr. Evanturel was seen
hovering around the lobbies, where he
had a heart-to-heart talk with his Tato
late leader, Mr. Rowell. It had been
rumored that during the afternoon Mr.
Evanturel would make sonic sensational
statements, and in consequence the gal-
leries were jammed, and all available
space upon the floor of the House was
taken up with expectant spectators.
There were, however, no fire -works.
When the House had been called to order
Mr. Evantural's seat was vacant, and
speaker Hoyle announced that he had re-
ceived the resignation of Mr Evanturel,
member for Prescott—so the curtain was
rung down. The debate on the "budget"
as the annual financial statement is called,
was now resumed.. Following the old
custom in vogue in Britain from her
earliest history, that no money shall bo
granted until all grievance:4 shall have
been redressed, this debate opens up a
wide field of discussion. Every conceiv-
able subject pertaining to any provincial
affair may be discussed and thus members
wander far a field.
This discussion is by no means profit-
less. New ideas and new theories are
introduced, and much useful information
is obtained. Sonne members speak in
very general terms—chiefly for political
effect, whilst other dive deep into the
public documents and from these unearth
and bring to light some very valuable and
useful information. Johnston,(Hast ings)
would impose an additional tax upon
banks, as these institution receive very
cheap money from, the people, Elliott,
Middlesex, would tax the "unearned in-
crement." This was supported by Mus-
grove, Huron. In many largo centres of
population land worth $100 per acre, may
in a few years increese to $1,000 per acre,
not by any effort made by the owner, but
by the community building houses, laying
out streets, putting in sewers, erecting
schools. This increase in value caused
by the community is the "unearned in-
crement. It is held by many that a cer-
tain percentage of this increment should
be taken over by the province for public
use. This is now the law in Alberta.
With the exception of the expenditure
on the Goverment House and on the Re-
vision of the Statutes, there has been lit-
tle criticism so far --the Opposition has
not, so far, been very effective. The
increased grants made to the different de-
partments of the public service, the gen-
eral activity and honesty of the Govern-
ment, in all branches has had a disheart-
ening effect upon the Opposition, eud only
a sort of guerilla warfare is carried on.
Wednesday—After Dr. McQueen's mo-
tion to establish a Civil Service Commis
Sion should be appointed, had been
knocked out, Allan Studholme discussed
the budget for one and one-half hours.
Allan came to Ontario 44 years ago, set-
tling in Hamilton where for many years
he worked as a moulder. Some few years
ago he entered the Legislature as labor
representative and has been an earnest
and faithful supporter of the cause of
labor, with a leaning to Socialism, such
as old age insurance, unemployment in-
surance, state education, with a strong
antipathy to, the Salvation Army bringing
out immigrants.
Thursday—The debate on the budget
was completed to -day and carried on a
Vote of 73 to 18.
Two ve.ty good speeches were deliver-
ed by Mr. Rowell and Hon. I. I3, Lucas,
Provincial Treasurer. Mr. Rowell's
chief objection was that the government
had put in as capital expenditure what
should have been charged to current ac-
count. By reducing the grants to agri-
culture education, public institutions,
hospitals and colinization reeds the g•ov-
errnent could have had no capital account.
Many public buildings, prison, asylum,
have been erected. 'One million had been
spent in opening new roads in New On-
tario. Mr. Gamey introduced a very im-
portant motion asking the Dominion to
grant a bounty on iron ore produced in
Canada.
Able speeches were made in support of
this motion by Mr, Hogarth (1'o•t Arthur)
Hon. W, H. Hearst, Proudfoot and
others. The motion was carried,

Visit to Prison Farm.
While Mr. John F, Groves, our town -
clerk, was attending the Orange Grand
Lodge in Guelph last week, among
other places visited was the Prison
Farm, which is an experiment, the
first of its kind. in Canada, There are
about three hundred inmates, without
even a fence to detain them. When one
actives at the farm, one of the most
striking features is the absence of
guards, or any meaus of preventing
the escape of the prisoners. At the
entrance of the farm there is a beauti-
ful cement bridge, built by the prison -
ere themselves, The farm looke like a
vast plain stretching a distance of
three quarters of a mile. When the
party arrived at the sentry box,which
is about two feet and a half square,
which is the only sign of detention
visible, a guard, who from his appear-
ance seemed to have wakened out of a
very sound sleep, came out to meet
them. The guards chief duty consists
in directing visitors to the lice build-
ing, so that they might secure a pass.
They draught from the Central Pri-
son, Toronto and to p. has a good effect
on the prisoners, there. as they are all
on good behavior, in the hope of being
transferred from the city to the Prison
Farm, Guelph. They are pale and
puuy when they arrive at the farm,
but after they have been there for two
or three weeks, they go around with a
healthy tan, with their shoulders up
and walking on the balls of their heels.
The office building is a three storey
stone building, all having been built
by the convicts theniselvee. The in-
terior is finished better than the ma-
jority of business offices in Toronto,
the work being done by prison labor.
After securing a pertnit the party pro-
ceeded on'their way.
The first place they visited was the
dining -room which is furnished with
long benches and tin dishes, but every.
thiug is seruputously clean, as is also
the kitchen. Wbiie in conversation
with one of the ixrnates they were in-
formed that they were used very well,
being gived neat and potatoes three
times a day. The dining room and
kitchen are in au uncompleted build-
ing, but they are simply used as an
emergency, and after the building le
completed, they will he moved into
permanent quarters. Two new build-
ings are in the course of erection, and
the foundation for another .one is be-
ing dug out.
From the kitchen they proceeded to
the stables. They have at preseut ou
the farm fifty-eight rnileh cows, besides
a large number of other cattle and cal-
ves. No animals are sold off the farm,
but all are used for food supply for the
prisoners. In connection with the farm
there is a dairy where the milk is
transformed into butter and cheese.
There is also a stores building in which
asupply of all kinds of material used
in carrying on the prison work is kept.
Part of this building is used for dormi-
tories or sleeping places for the prison-
ers. A dormitory is a large well light-
ed room containing about one hundred
beds. The beds are single and well
supplied with clothing.
Almost everything needful for the
construction of the different bnildings
is manufactured on the farm with the
exception of lumber and cement. Stone
is quarried, gravel and sand dug out
of pits and carried to the buildings by
means of a tniniature railway.
The doors of the prison are common
baton doors locked by means of fifteen
cent padlocks. This is truly "The
prison without a wall."

"Dollar Day" Produces
Startling Results In
$800 Yotillg Contest
New Candidate concentrates efforts on new business for
The Advance and by securing double votes on Tues-
day, jumps into the lead. There is still room at the
top for earnest workers in The Advance's great prize
distribution. Friends should help their favorite con-
testants now. '
Winghant'e first great "Dollar Day" which is now a matter of history
was no more successful among the merchants of the town and the hundreds
of visitor. than it was among the participants in the Wingham Advance's
great $800 Prize Voting Contest. The ••double vote" schedule Etint d
the candidates to extraordinary activity and ae a result several hundred
thousand extra votes were earned by those contestants who are earnest work-
ers. and who saw In the double vote schedule which was in effect on Tuesday;
the opportunity to poll a big vote. Some of the heretofore inactive Candi•
•dates were among the shrewd ones, and by a burst of energy and enthusiasm
on Monday and Tuesday, secured enough new subscriptions to put them solid-
ly in the running. They are now atnong the real contenders for the capita)
prize, and with continued faithful effortrt should be able to maintain, oreven
improve their preseut standing. ,
The subscription field is still almost virgin soil, there are literally hund-
reds and hundreds of new and renewal subscriptions to both Wingham .Ad-
vance and the Canadian Ladies' Homo Journal still to be garnered by in-'
dustrious contestants and any serious, energetic ambitious person, has a moss
excellent chance to start in right now and by a whirlwind rftort finish the
race a winner. No contestant has sufficient votes to warrant him or her in
resting oars at this stage of the race, and no candidate should permit himself
or herself to be lulled into a false feeling of security by the reflection that he
or she has a few thousand more votes than another candidate. As "eternal
viligance is the price of liberty" so is it in this case,the price of success. This
plain truth should be recognized by the friends of all candidates. 1f you,
gentle reader, are a friend of some contestant whom you want to be a winner,
help him or her—to use an expressly slang ohs ate --"while the Its( ping it,
good". Don't wait until the contest is over and then perhaps reproach your
self for not giving your favorite candidate the few thousand votes he or she
needed in order to win. Do it now. Subscribe for the Advance and tbs.
Canadian Ladies' Home Journal now and HELP YOUR FAVORITE TO WIN.
The surprise of the hour is of course the wonderful results accotnplished
by Miss Margaret Pocock, of Wingham who leads the list of contestants with
a total vote of 102,000. 111isa Pocock deserves unstinted praise for her remark-
able showing, as she only started in the contest last Friday with not a eiogle
vote to her credit, and in practically three days work has forged to the front
The simple explanation is that she caught the other candidates "napping" and
with a big, intense, determined effort, concentrated her energies on securing
new subscriptions to the Advance on Monday and Tneaday, for every one of
which she secured double votes. Discernment and earnest work accomplished
for her what to many candidates seamed practically impossible. This is simply
an example of the old adage that "where there is a will there is a way,"
Following is the standing of the various contestant+ at the close of bust
nese Tuesday night, March lith. At that time some of the contestants living
outside of Wingham bad not been heard from. The inclusion of their "double
vote" business which they had the pr•iviluge of mailing Tuesday even•
ing, will of course materially alter the figures, concerning two or three . of the -
candidates.

About St. Patrick.
"1St. Patrick was a gentleman
And came of decent people,"
says the old Irish ballad, bttt, though
this fact is well authenticated, the
saint we celebrate on the 17th of March
is probably the moat disputed one in
the whole calendar. The popular belief
that he banished snakes from the
Emerald Isle seems to have no founda-
cion in fact, and, moreover, he was not
really lrisu, but was born in Scotland
in 373, at Banavem Taberniae, probate
ly identical with modern Dumbarton,.
on the Leven, near its confluence with
the Clyde, a few miles northwest of
Glasgow.
His real name was Succat and he was
the son of Oalphurnius, or Oalpornius,
a deacon in the Christian church, a
Roman decurion and a man of means
and standing. His mother is said to
have been Concesea, a French noble-
woman, niece, or some say, sister, of
Martin, Bishop of Tours.
The story of the early life of the
little Succat runs like a tale from the
Arabian Nights. Born inti a home
which, though situated in a barbarian
country, contained all the luxury, of
the highest Roman civilization his life
until hie sixteenth year, with his two
uisters, under the protection of the
great Wall of Severus, which separat-
ed them from the heathen tribes of the
Picts and Scots, was a free and happy
one, Then carne the deluge. The bar-
barians broke down the wall, looted
his father's house, and he and hie two
sisters were borne away as captives.
Succat was Bold across the water to
a great Irish lord, Milchu by name, in
Country Antrim, in the north of Ire-
land. For six long years away from
home and kindred, the boy remained a
slave to Milchu. His occupation was
sheep -sheering, and, although he tells
us in hts "Confessions" that he was
often cold and lonely in his wander -
Ings over the hills, his life was not all
sad, for the rich Irish of those daps
had a high civilization of their own.
They dressed magnificently, lived well,
played chess by the fires in their great
halls, and feasted and sang. The young
slave moved about among them, and
his gentle manner must have touched
their rude heart for it was here he
gained the title "Patricius," — the
'little gentleman.'
IIe conceived a great love for these
rough barbarians, and the desire to
convert them to Christianity was born
during his captivity, This desire never
left him. Although twi.;o rescued and
twice brought back again, after his
third and anal escape from slavery he
still, like Joan of Arc, heard celestial
voices calling hire to go back and
rescue these rude but loving -hearted
people from the chains of idolatry.
He obeyed the summons. Ia op-
position to the persuasions of his
family, he turned his steps to France,
and in Toura, where the famous St.
Mattin was then bishop, he entered
a monastry to fit himself for his mis-
sion to the land of his adoption,
Such was his romatic history ; a
childhood spent in pampered luxury,
youth and young manhood in slavery,
and his later years in travelling up
and down the hills and valleys of the
little green isle, bearing to the un-
taught people he had learned to love
the tidings of joy and peace. For, in
405, when his studies were completed
in France, he returned to Ireland and
never afterward left her shores. The
land is dotted with shrines and mem-
orials to this favorite saint. He came
to Ireland with a thorough knowledge
of the language and of the people and
seems to have encountered little ops
position. No heathen chieftain or
elan could stand against the gentle
persuasions of his teaching. He found
no Christians and left no heathen.
He died in Ireland, near the spot of
his first conversione— a place called
Saul—in the year 406 A. D.

one more Sham Fight?
Is Canada being deceived
by the progress of a burlesque
that is being staged for the
deception of the people who
serve as the dupes of "the two
great historic parties" at Ot-
tawa ?
Canadians have reason to
doubt the historicity of these
reports of mortal combat be-
tween Sir William Mackenzie
and Sir Donald Mann and the
patriot organizations headed
by Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden and
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, respec-
tively.
Is the country being gulled
by a performance that is stage-
managed with a set purpose of
preparing public opinion for
the acceptance of a pre -arrang-
ed deal ?
Were the terms of Canada's
surrender settled in advance ?
Sir William Mackenzie and
Sir Donald Mann know what
the Borden Government is
going to do.
The Borden Government
knows what the Laurier Op-
position is going to do.
Are the terms of the guar-
antee that will "do" the coun-
try all framed up ?
Is a policy that must ex-
haust this country's cash or
credit to be supplemented by
sham negotiations that insult
the same country's intelligence
if any ?
The above is from the Toronto Tele -
grain of Friday last and to it, the Ad-
vance says Amen. The Telegram is

Moon's Eclipse.
On Wednesday evening at eight
o'clock none could have imagined a
more perfect night. The moon was
full and the air clear, but two hours
later the moon that ehone so brightly
was almost obscured. It was ono of
the marvels of nature, an eclipse of
the moon. The tnoon entered the
penumbra, or outer shadow at 8 42
p.in., and gradually becoming more
dense, the partial eclipse reached its
inaxhnum at 11 13, from which time
the shadow gradually lessened. When
