Trim Toronto Fair is on this week
with its annual program to attract

TULSDAr, Sept. 15th, is the date
set for the Liberal nominating Oon-
vention in the Sottth Riding of Huron.
There Is not Much doubt but M. Y.
McLean, the present well known M.
P., will be again the standard bearer.
He has a wide experience and is in'.
close touch with the best interests of
the riding. Mr. McLean was elected
at a bye election rendered necessary
by the demise of B. B. Gunn, of Sea -
forth. A vigorous fight will be waged

candidate, John Shera itt, is to strong

ALMOST every day record the de-
struction occasioned by the "didn't
know -it -was -loaded” gun in the hands
of some haix'brainedindividual. Why
any person with a grain of common
sense should point firearms at anyone
is a conundrum whose solution should
be the infliction of a penalty that
would teach a lesson for a life time.
The practice of permitting loaded fire-
arms to lie round carelessly should be
a forgotten art, especially in these
days of enquiring young Canada.
Many a heart -break has been occasion-
ed by the unexpected discharge of a
weapon and the wonder is that the list
is not larger considering the green-
horn character of many of the hand-
lers of guns and revolvers, who are as
much to bet dreaded as the rock -the -
boat fools.

WOULD you like to see Brussels
Fair cut a wider swath in 1908 than it
has yet done? Of course you would.
Well aid in its accomplishment by in-
vesting $1.00 and becoming not only a

There ere hundreds of people, many of
them farmers, in whose interests
these Fairs are largely run, who have
never had their names on thenember-
ship roll. A practical demonstration
on your part would mean much to the
Society and prove a real help to the•
Directorate who do their best to at-
tain their ideals, often badly bttucli-
eapped for lack of support. There's
contatgiou in a boom and we would
like to see it tried on East Huron 'Fall

1f this is done there will no doubt be a
bumper ceowd to hoar the above men-
tioned gentlemen. The electors should
make au effort to go, not only to hear
these staltvart champions of Liberal-
ism but to listen to the foremost ex-
ponents of the Opposition also when
opportumLy presents itself. This is
not the day of dwarfed puny panties
but a better clay.when meta of robust,
inlepencien1, yet well defined views
think, speak and sot for themselves.
What's wanted is clean politicians, in-
tolligene 'electors and public issues
worthy of this glorious Canada. It is
too bad that some public men ap-
parently delight to wallow in slander
and scandal but they are not the typo
who draw the ,masses nor sow seed
productive of praiseworthy fictions.
