The Wingham Advance, 1914-03-19, Page 1rl 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, Tr) Wt/oat IT Malt C>Ncttrtv.— 'Cake stoned that haying a number of ac- counts that are long past due, nnlestr a trettlement le arranged for by Apri le Mere will he leered le con : t 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." Orange Grand Lodge. Right Worshipful Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West met in annual session at Guelph on Wednesday, March llth, with R. W. M, Fred Dane of Toronto presiding. Among other noted brethren pre- sent we noticed Hoo. Sam, Hughes, Supreme Grand Master,. Col. J. H. Scott of Walkerton, Past Supreme Grand Master Robert Burns, Toronto, and Rev. Canon Dixon, Past Grand Chaplain and Co. Chaplain of Toronto. In his address the Grand Master dealt with the question of biliugnalibm in the public eud separate schools, home rule in Ireland and other ques- tions of importance to the order. The Grand Lodge 'ionated two hundred dollars each to the Anglican, Preabytorian, Methodist, Salvation Army and Baptist denominations to assist in the work among the French in the Province of Quebec, $500 was donated to assist the Protestants of Ulster in their fight against 13otne Bele. The increase in membership for the year just past was nearly 0000 and there are at present under the juris- diction of the Grand Lodge over seven hundred primary, one hundred dis- trict and fifty county lodges. The ata endan eat the sessions of the Grand t c Gl d Lodge was the largest in its history, nearly seven hundred delegates beisg present.

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. .Margaret Pocock, Wingham Francis Davis, 1Vinghatn O.

April 1st, at, one o'clock, John rarvlto, attetlnt)rrer, 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. Church 'Hews Annual Missionary Day in the Methodist church next Sunday morn- ing and evening.

A large number were preseut, the proceeds of the evening amounting to $52. Raided west Moncton, On Monday, Officer Phippen and a detective made a swift descent upon the village of West Moncton, raiding the hotel run by Anguat Bauer and seeming 7 barrels of liquor and a quantity of whiskey.

The lirinor was Bent to To. routs for analysts and the result le not yet known, "Dollar Day" In Wingham A Grand Success Dollar Day which was held in Wingham on St, Patrick's Day, was a decided eaccess in every particular, Every train brought its quota of peo- ple and from early morning until two or three in the afternoon, people jour- neyed from north, south, east and west to the Metropolis, where bargains were given, and where they would meet friends whom they had not seen for some time and spend a social hour. At two o'clock the day was enlivened by the Wingham Citizens' Band, which furnished music for the after- noon. There was an excellent show- ing of horses, many fine animals being exhibited for each special prize, Mr. Jas, Foster of W. Wawanosh captured the prize given by Messrs. Scully and Irwin for the best heavy draught and agricultural team. Mr. Wm, Weir of Turnberry won the prize given by Mr. A. H. Wilford, and Mr. Thoe. Gilmore of Turnberry b cry was successful for' the prize donated by George Spotton, for the best driving horse, The judges for the horses were Mr. Bartley of Win- nipeg and Mr. Geo. Cruikshank of Turnberry. For the handsome chair donated by Walker & Clegg, Mrs, David Vanal- stine, Bluevale road, who lives with her son, Allen Vanaletine, was suc- cessful, she being born June 4th 1821, in Prince Edward Co., Ontario. Among other elderly ladies who competed for the chair were :—Mrs. Mary Ann Hol- mes, born 1821, Tipperary, Ireland. Mrs. Elizabeth Dodds, born Jan. 25tb 1828, Co, of Wicklow, Ireland. Mrs E. J. Barbour, born Feb. 24th 1832 Province of Ontario, Mrs. Sarah Bry dges, born May 20th 1885, on board ship. The oldest man visiting Wingham on that day and who consequently got the chair donated by Mr. James Walk. er & Son, was Mr. Adam Reid, who was born Mar. 23rd 1827, Oonneeght, Ireland, Ocher elderly gentlemen who competed for the chair were ;—John Ball born Augusr 6th 1830, Cavan Ou., Ireland. Robert Bar•buur born Dec. 22nd 1828, Ayrshire, Scotland. The prize for the most recently mar- ried couple went to Mr. and Mrs, Jus. McGee of Morris. The gentleman get- ting the prize for coming the longest distance was Mr, David Giddins, from lot 10. con. 1 Rowlett, a distance of fifteen miles. Mr, Albert Foxton brought in the largest load of people. having thirty-one in his sleigh, and consequently reeeiviug the prize. Mr, J. D. Anderson of Belgrave received the gold watchfrom W. .Patterson for.having made the largest purchase in Wingbam on that day. The amount of the purchase was Kr, of which Mr, Thos. Kew received $96 for harness. Spasm and time will not permit us to describe Dollar Day as we would likes 11 was a grand succese and everyone went away feeling satiened, and the merchants state It is one of the beat days which they ever had. The citizens of Wingham are so well satibfled teat there will be another similar day here. Mr, A. H.

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 an independent Conservative Journal. Moon's Eclipse.
