ganizetion for the new riding. Mr. P.

A telegram of regret was read from
Warden Bantelon who stated that he
was busily engaged with gathering
products for the Belgian Relief Fund
and that be would have over thirty
car -loads.
After considerable discussion and re-
organiz;ition Mr. Musgrove was called
upon and gave a short inspiring add-
ress in which he thanked all the elect-
ors for their efforts in securing hie
election on June 29, He also paid a
.tribute to the late Premier, Sir James
Whitney, in giving Ontario honest,
efficient enonomical, respectable goy-
eminent.
oveminent. The speaker said that Sir
James had given a new code of politi-
cal honor to this province and every-
where that reeponsible government
obtained. The new Prime Minister,
Honorable W. H. Hearst had already
been'in charge of the Lands, Forests
and Mines for three years and had giv-
en entire satisfaction and that he was
a 'worthy successor to Sir James.
Mr. Bowman was the next speaker
and congratulated the meeting upon
the unanimity during the election of
officers, As the Hon. Mr. Meighan
was .resent to address the people he.
would take up very".little time. Mr.
E. N. Lewis had written to Mr. Bow-
man asking him to elplain hie absence
in as much as he, Mr, Lewis, was ac-
companying a delegation from the
county to Ottawa where they expected
to receive some war contracts for our
various fact ories. He laid stress upon
the necessity of organization and that
nisitter who the candidate seas
yotiie should be found on the fight -
leg line.- .
Dr. Macklin; Godericb, candidate in
. •the recent Provincial Election in Oen-
tre Huron stated that he was pleased
to be present at the organization of
the new riding of North Huron and
would not take up the time of Hon.
Mr. Meighen.
The Hon. Arthur Meighen, Solicitor
General of Canada, was then introduc-
ed by President Scott. He congratu-
lated the President on his election and
Wiling to the Hon. free. Campbell
said that when he found Scotto and
Campbells in the Tory ranks, he was
sure they were good ones. He bad a
most difficult task, in as much, as he
watt enjoined by Sir Wilfred and the
Globe that there was a political truce
between the parties and if he could dis-
cuss politics without touching political
parties, it would • be t he narrowest
plank he had ever walked,
Every Fall we had heard of the grain
blockade in the West, which resulted
ssesefn great lose to the farmer and when
the Borden Administration came into
power they 'addressed themselves to
this problem, Terminal elevators were
added to, and a government elevator
at the head of the great !ekes. Elev-
ators were built,aleo at Moosej;w-and
Saskatoon where the weighing was
final for sale,' Western fartners could
how dell when they'could get the best
price acid the grain blockade was heard
of no nlore. This was abcomplfehed in
the first session. '

petitor; the 0. P. R. to take • to the

trade in the East it had to be handed
over to the 0. P. R„ to take West.
There were many railroads controlled
by McKenzie & Mann such ae 0.N.R.,
Can. North, Pacific, Oan, North, Ont.,
Halifax and Northwestern etc. etc.
All of these like all other railways had
been subsidized. 0, N. 0. bonds were
guaranteed by Laurier in I911. The
security which the Government held
on line from Fort William to Montreal
was useless as it did not control rolling
'stock or terminals, these were owned
by other subsidiary companies'. Mc-
Kenzie and Mann were moving spirits
in 31 different companies, These were
all taken and put in one and the stock
reduced from $144.000 000 to $100,000,-
000 and the Government is absolute'
owner of 40 per cent of this stock and
got as close down as they could to a
first mortgage. ' These 81 companies
included hotels, lands, elevators, rail-
roads, terminate, etc.
It had been said that money from
subsidies and guarantees had been di-
verted by McKenaie and Mann into
other channels, but, expert account-
ants appointed by the late Government
had found that such was not true,
Over $248,000,000 had been put into
the various 31 companies.
The 0, N. R. bad just as good a road
bed etc., as the G. T. P. section built',
by the Laurier administration and only
cost one-half as much per mile, The.
late Government tied pledged the cred-
it of Canada to $35.000 per mile and it
was in the interests of the people that
the road should be completed although
wewere having three transcontinentals
a little soon.
He believed in the principle of gov.
ernment ownership but this must be a
matter of evolution and a Government
should hesitate, in these perilous times
to take over a transcontinental.
In closing he showed the faulty
reasoning or rather inconsistency of
Sir Wilfred and the Globe that an
electionous
c d not legally be held, tre-
atise an Order -in -Commit had been
passed that there should be no revision
of voters' lista in unorganized territ_
ories of Northern Ontario and Manit-
oba, yet, in 19I2 this same order -in -
council was passed and Sir Wilfred
tried for five months to force an elect-
ion, anyway these lists were revised
for the last Ontario and Manitoba
elections and there was no need of do-
ing it again. As to the possibility of
an election, he knew nothing, but the
Government would appeal to the
people when the country's needs de-
manded same and would be confident
of result.
•
He had heard that in some constit-
uencies the word wentout that 'so and
so' was desired by the Government as
a candidate—this was false as the Ad-
ministration never interfered in such
matters and anyone using such were
merely doing, it for their own gain.
Messrs. Boierinan and , Lewis -he said
bad made good and creditable mein_
here.
On closing the Hon. Mr. Meighen
received tremendous applause for his
address was a masterly review of the
slate, sane, honest, economical business
administration of Sir Robert Barden.
Tne meeting, which was large and
representative, %closed with three
cheers for the King and Sir Borden.

SOME TOWERS
When earth was young, men spake one tongue,
It served life's peaceful hour,
Till builders vain, ou Shinar's plain,
Erected Babel's tower.
Then strife began 'twixt tribe and clan,
The hunter and the plower,
Each robber bold laid up his gold
Within an old mud tower.
When Saxon bowed to Norman proud,
.And knighthood was in flower,
In Euglish land, on every hand,
Loomed black the baron's tower.
Full many a king, anis underling,
And princess from her bower,
Got off their jobs and lost their nobs.
In London's gloomy tower.
Where autumn's breeze, mid myrtle. trees,
Brings down "a leafy shover,
All out of blink, on Arno's btink
Stands Plea's leaning tower.
One thousand feet above the street,
In pride of place and power,

On Champ. to v ow the stars,

And now to -clay, not far away,
When German war elo ads lower,

The Advance is told by some of our

ill ter disregard for the Curfew Bell and
that they have given the police names
of some, so it will be well for those six-
teen years of age and under to get
under the parental roof by nine p. m.
Many of these young folk keep off the
Main St. and thus evade the police but
there is no excuse for parents, who
have only a dozen or less children to
count them and see if they are all in.
In the old days when families used to
reach fifteen or twenty there might
have been some excuse but not so now,

Sanctum Paragraphs
The Liberal Leaders and Press lash-
ed themselves Into great fury lest
there should be an election, It is
altogether likely that they thought
the Government would be returned.

The vast majority of Canadians that
are of German birth or descent are loy-
al to the flag under which they live.
Waterloo, a town of 5,000 people gave
$50,000 to the Patriotic Fund or $10
for each man, woman and child. It is
doubtful if this record bas been equal-
led in Canada. Berlin, with its 18,000
people, gave 390,000.
The Garman Township of Wilmot
applauded the action of its council in
giving $3,000, Let no one say that
German Canadians are disloyal, Find
a town that equals Waterloo or a
township that rivals Wilmot. Out of
the five councillors in Wilmot, four
are Germans.

The Editor of the Advance has
every confidence in the outcome of the
present war for the army at the front
is in charge of Sir John French, an
Irishmen ; the fret is commanded by
Admiral Jellicoe, an Irishman; the
War Office is headed by Kitchener, an
Irishman and he is assisted by such
I shmen as Lord Roberts and Lord
reeford, Just as Lord Roberts
brought success to British Arms in
South Africa as Duke of Wellington
an Irishman, defeated Napoleon ; as
Wolfe, of Irish parentage, wrested
North America from the French etc
and etc„ so does the British nation
calmly and confidently await success
under the leadership of these present
great Irishmen Kitchener, Jellicoe and
Wrench.
For a long time Canadians .c''re
loathe to believe the reported ,harbor.
ous acts of cruelty practised by Ger-
man soldiers, not only upon wounded
soldiers, but, also upon aged men and
helpless women and children. We
thought that the reports in our papers
if not biased, were at least highly col-
ored,however sworn testimony and re-
ports from independent sources cannot
t
be overlooked. Canadians and Ameri-
cans are returning from the continent
and giving us cases of which they
were eyewitnesses.
Oa another page will he found a let.
ter of an American lady writing to an
American journal appealing for help
for unfortunates, and we invite our
friends to read it. There is no doubt
that Herman soldiers have gouged out
the eyes and cut off the hands of
wounded soldiers of the allies, cut off
the hands of children, shot nurses
who had tended them, shot women
who fed them and assaulted defence-
less women and then cut off their
breasts. Miss E. Woods, who is em-
ployed by Mrs. R, S. Paul of the
Grand Central Hotel, Listowel, has
received a letter from her sister in
Leigb, England, a paragraph of which
reads as follows ;—"the state of affairs
in England is not The best, but they
are not discouraged as right most con-
quer rnight. The suffering of some of
the soldiers is awful. I was talking to
Mrs, Holston, who travelled from New
Castle Willow to Liegh with Mr Yates
who had been up to the hospital to
see his brother' Imagine his horror

ty, of which tney have been continu-
ous residents ever since, For many
years he was engaged in farming in
Colborne township, but during the

Canadians Visited
By Lord'Roberts
London, Eng., Oct, 20.—Ili the pour-
ing rain, Lord Roberts visited the Can-
adian camp on Saturday, motoring
over from Ascot, accompanied by his
daughter. He was received by Major-
General.Alderson and the Divisional
Staff, The distinguiehsd. Field Mar-
shal proceeded to the Brat brigade,
where the officers were drawn up,
His Lordshipchatted genially with
several on parade asking many quest-
ions regarding the length of the indi-
vidual service fpr the King and no-
ticed the decorations which were
worn by many. He afterwards went
down toward the south end, being
cordially greeted en route by men
in the lines. At South Camp the
full' first battalion was formally in-
spected. Lord Roberta also went
along the artillery lines and after-
wards lunched with divisional staff
at headquarters.
WELCOME$ CANADIANS. ,
Lord Roberts, addressing the of-
ficers and men of the contingent
said: 'Brother Soldiers of the Can-
adian contingent, it is an intense
pleasure to me to be able to give
von a most hearty welcome to the
Mother Country. We have arrived
at the most critical moment of our
hietorr+tnd, yaws, have generously
coii7ieit• 1p ua lar our hour of need.
Words me weer; I try to
tell you hells.deeply we appreciate
your action and the splendid spirit
of loyalty which has prompted that
action. Three menthe ago we
found ourselves i volved in this
war. -a war not of ur own seek-
ing, but one which t se who have
studied Germany's i c'oin's and
Germany's inspiration know was a
war which we should inevitably
have to deal with sooner or later,
The prompt resolve of Canada to
give us such valuable assistance has
touched us deeply, That resolve
has been quickened into action in
what I consider a marvellously
short apace of time and under the
excellent organizing and driving
power of your Minister of Militia,
my friend, Major-General Hughes,
you quickly found yourselves in a
fine camp in four own Laurentian
Mountains, where. your • training
and musketry were able to be car-
ried out in a moat practical man-
ner and with the least possible de-
lay, the Fesult being that to -day,
less than three months from the
declaration of war, I am able to greet
this fine body of soldiers on English
soil.
STERN TASK TO PERFORM
"You have a stern task before you.
We are fighting a nation which
looks upon the British Empire as a
barrier to her development. To
attain our humiliation she has manu-
factured u magnificent fighting ma.
chine and is straining every nerve
to 'gain victory. In her determination
to:;be ruling power in the world she
has not scrupled to break faith with
small nations and has shown by her
actions that she is prepared by every
means in', her power, however un-
worthy and brutal, to achieve her
purpose. When the time comes for
you to take -your place in the field you
will find yourselves fighting side by
side with men of our regular army,
who have already done great deeds
and endured great hardships, witb
;nen of our Indian army who have
coma with such devotion and eagerness
to take their share in defending Britisb
interests, and with men who like your
selves are coming from other self.
governing Dominions to co•operbte
with us. I need not urge you to do
your best; I know you will, for you
will t o fighting in the greatest of all
causer', the cause of right, of justice,
and of liberty. May God prosper you
in this great struggle."
