If this coarse had been pur- sued on ether occasions, some laws now on the statute books would not be there at all, and some bills that were defeated would have become acts. U. S. Senator Norris said that "no one who lived for twenty-five years under the Union Jack can love the Stars and Stripes," to which the New York Times replies, "(George Wash- ington did." opt If the Manitoba government had no justification for asking an inquiry into the words and conduct of Judge Stubbs, and if the federal govern- ment had no justification in acced- ing to that request, these objections are being removed by his subsegeunt words and actions. This is. a time for restraints not for inflammatory speeches. If, however, he wishes to make them, he should seek some oth- er forum than the bench. After hanging back for a long time, Senator Borah announced at last that he was going to vote for Hoover, adding that Alfred E. Smith's speeches had driven many others besides himself to vote Repub- Iican. We apprehend that any vot- ers that were driven to Hoover by 'Smith were going that direction any= way. A partisan on the fence likes to pretend that he was shoved off it by one of his political opponents. If the Communist prisoners were responsible for stirring up the dis- turbance at Portsmouth, they can be easily disciplined by herding then( together and granting them soap boxes and freedom of speech, More Truth Than Poetry No matter how hard up you be, How dismal and hopeless your case is, There's someone around you can sec With whoa- you'd not wish to change places. o—J-t New York State school teachers have female lobbyists at Albany.

Chautauquadiscovered it years ago, and mere man has known it alltbe time, but was never willing to admit it, alb A Hamitlon lawyer demands that the questioning of convicts at Ports- mouth be conducted ouside the peni- tentiaries and that each• convict be entitled to counsel.

The bonus -seekers' march on Washington, the jobless .descent on London and the trek of Northern Manitoba farmers to Winnipeg did not improve the condition' of the marchers, but aggravated it instead, besides adding to the difficulties of others. bt= . Einstein estimates that the world is ten billion years old, and indeed its present condition indicates ex• treme debility, if not senility.

House, Wilson would have declared war against in- stead of for the allies. There is ample evidence that in 1916 his anti- pathies ran that way. In October, of that year, Sir Cecil Spring -Rice, Bri- tish ambassador to Washington, was persuaded that if the United States entered the war at all it would be on the side of the central powers. In November, Wilson was re-elected be- cause he kept the United States out of the war. Five months Iater, he was forced by the actions of the cen- tral powers to declare war against then(.

Holmes attended a meeting of the Canadian Press Assoeitaion Exe- cutive at the Rossin house, Totento, last week. The members of the As- sociation expect to visit the World's Fair in a body next year. The Haywood residence on the cor- ner of Orange and Princess streets has been sold to Mrs. Downer for the sum of $1,500. It is a comfortable brick dwelling, centrally 'situated and the purchaser ha, secured a good home. On Saturday Mr. Gillis Gilchrist was standing on a ladder engaged in putting in a storm window in the second story of his house when the ladder slipped and he was thrown to the ground, He got off without any broken bones but his fa was cut and his eyo blackened. Fowl were marketed quite freely, Iest week; turkeys 8c per Ib., geese, 6c; chickens 5c or 30e per pair; ducks 400 to 70c per pair. Apples are so plentiful that the evaporator is getting them at 15c to 20c per hundred weight. Murray Camp Sons of Scotland purpose holding its second St. And- rews dinner at Kennedy's hotel, Clin- ton, on ;the evening of November 30. The Guy Brothers had a good house last Friday and the entertain- ment was first class, While here the Guy brothers invested heavily in dry goods at the Dry Goods Palace and in clothing from the Jackson Bros. The most extensive circular ever issued by any business house here was one turned out at the New Era office last week for the Estate sof John Hodgens; it was half the size s of the New Era and required over one hundred pounds of paper. Mr. Mowat is weakening the hands of his own supporters by allowing the Middlesex registrarship to remain vacant as long as it is. How tan liberals fight against 'abuses on the opposite side when they are tolerated in their own midst? It is Iittie wonder that the Presi- dent of Toronto Conservatives declar- ed the other evening that something ought to be done to stop the exodus from Canada to the United States when, according to the returns of the Consul's office in Toronto., no less that 7,563 heads of families with Personal effects, left that city for the United States between the first oe January and the first of.October:'This does not include the young men and worsen who did not require consular certificates to get their effects a- cross the line, The annexationists intend to von a candidate for the seat itt the Local vacated by the un- timely death of Mr. Bigelow, but only as a test of their strength. (Does anyone remember whether they did this and, if so, how he far- ed?) Goderich Township: Miss •M. En- gler of Goderich Model School has been engaged for S. S. No. 9, Gode- rich township at a salary of $280. Il'olmesville: Quarterly (board met on Monday night for the transaction of business. The stewards and re• presentatives were relected with the exception of Mr, W. Nesbitt in place of J. Oakes , resigned for Eben- ezer appointment, and S. T. Walter envelope steward in place of T. Murch; removing. A resolution was unanimously passed expressing the board's appreciation of the services of Mr. Murch. The churches of the circuit are in a good healthy condition, the finances in fine shape and Rev. Mr. Ayers has every reason to feel' en- couraged at the result of his labors in this part. of his Master's Vinyard. There ,has been some talk of light- ing Ontario street and St. Paul's churches with electric light but no definite action has been taken. The Bishop of Huron has appoint- ed Rev. Mr. Fairlie of Meaford as rector of St. Paul's church. ,Clinton lost an old and somewhat noted resident on Monday morning by, the death of Mr. James •Staveley, a bachelor who has roomed at the Grand Union Hotel for some time. Ile was born in Beverley, Yorkshire, and coming to thiscountrymany years agohad' taken p landin'Hullett; up , by hard work, close economy and the rise in the value of hts land, he be- came possessed of considerable wealth, said to, be about '$40,000.. . His will bequeathed, his property to his half brother and his heirs, but the half-brother 'is dead some time, and under the existing' law the entire proierty reverts to the Crown, roe that he technically died without a will. It is altogether likely that an. effort will be -Wade to induce the Crown clo do as was done in the case of the Mercier estate some years ago, that is, make some provision for the heirs -that -would-be and use the remainder er a portion of it for soave public purpose in the town where he has so long resided, Organ Recital.—Our Presbyterian friends are to be congratulated on the successful introduction of the new and beautiful pipe organ into. their church. On Sunday morning last, in a quiet, but all the more impressive, way, the organ, assisted by the choir, made its debut, and on Monday even- ing one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Clinton, listened with reverence and appreciation to the very select and classical concert giv- en. It would be presumption on our part to criticise the playing of Mr. Burns, ,of Toronto, the organist and accompanist, but do net think a Clinton audience has ever listened to his superior; his second selection. by Silorne, wass i-nply superb, while the Halelujah chorus, by Handel, was grand and beautiful, bringing to mind the lines "In sweet music is such art, Killing care and grief of heart." The anthems, "Radiant Mont" and "Alpha and Omega," were well sung by a choir sof 60 voices, under the respective batons of T. Jackson, jr„ and B. P. Sibley, and reflect great credit on all taking part; Miss And= rews sang the solo in the latter an- them with sweetness. Miss Jackson'e soprano solo, "Oro Pro Nobis," was sung with considerable taste, as was also Miss Porterfields solo,' "Glory to thee, my God, this night." This* is Miss Porterfielcl's introduction to a Clinton audience; she has a splendid contralto voice, and was much ad- mired, not only in the solo, but also in a quartette. The male quartette, "Lead kindly light," by Messrs. Sib- ley, Jackson, Brewer and Jones, was very pretty and well sung. "Eternal Rest," by Mr. Spalding, was sung with considerable expression and sweetness; leer. Spalding is the pos- sessor of a tbaritone voice of which he may well be proud. 11er. Sibley sang a solo with his usual good taste and voice, and our opinion is that he was never heardto better advan- tage But one of the sweetest and prettiest was a quartette, "Nearer my God, to thee," sung by Misses Jackson and Porterfield, and Messrs. Jackson and Spalding. The acconr paniments to the solos and quar- tettes were played by Miss Maggie Jackson, who proved to be an ac- complished organist. The char war occupied by Mr, D. A. Forrester, who announced at the outset the circum- stances under which the organ had been secured, the condition being; simply that it should be placed in the church, without cost to the church. Very generous contributions had been made to the "Organ Fund," and the generous collections of Sunday and Monday left but a small balance unt provided for, about $70, which the committee had no hesitation in as- suming. The organ was built by Messrs. Warren & Co., at a cost of $1,300; and is a magnificent acquisis tion to the church. The committee who had the matter in hand was Messrs. T. Jackson, jr., D. A. For- rester, G. D. 1VI'cTaggart, J. W. Ir- win and W. P. Spalding, who, with others, were indefatigable in bring- ing the question to a successful and pleasing conclusion. c=--4-1=ele From The Huron News -Record, Nov. Oth, 1892: Mr. E. Dinsley is buying pork as fast as it comes in. The cold wave of Tuesday and yesterday has start- ed the market and he made his first shipment yesterday. The price runs from 55,50 up for good stock. Enquiries have been literally pony- ing into The News -Record office since last Wednesday as to Capt. A. M. Todd's resignation as command- ing officer of No. 4 Company, 33rd Batt, It is with regret that he so decided. Owing to his recent severe illness and more pressing business matters he decided to leave the "lots) affairs of war" to young men and school officers. Capt. Todd has no fear but that sten like Lieuts. Combo and Rance will make No. 4 company as great a success locally and at camp as it has been in the past. There has been a great demand for wood in Clinton for several weeks. If the weather does not mend and a more liberal supply come in people. Will have to turn to coal. The latter has been somewhat high in price. but we believe it is as cheap as wood for cold weather fuel. The Mitchell Recorder does not seem to "cotton to" the statement of The .News -Record that "Canada is marching on peacefully and rapidly to the attainment of h - ueri'a +Pd destiny as an independent nation within a federated Empire 'of,British. nations. "The Recorder thinks thi would be an "unique existence." If it were such it would be none the worse andit i- our 1 destiny t >allhe same. It has been alinost occomplish- ed too. Canada is now virtually an independent nation and also part sof the British Empire. And the day is not farr distant when^Canada and all the other outlying nations, sometimes called the Greater Empire,, will form a federated Empire, after the plan of the United States federation, with at least preferential_ {;rade, if not absol- ute free -trade between the several component parts. There is no "im- penetrable log" about this. This con- summation is as clearly foreshadowed as any unaecomplished event can be. We are far more e sen u`n e about this imperial federation of the existing. independent British ,nationsthan we were about the ,.federation of the several' provinces which. raised Can- ada to the status of a nation, (The editor of the News -Record forty years ago was somethng of • a prophet.) GODIPRICH: The water and light commission passed for payment the September monthly power bill, as rendered by theprovincial commis - sten, less the amount of New York exchange on bonds which it was asked to pay, but whioh it has so far refuls- ed to do. A. second letter requesting payment was tabled for further con- sideration. In other words the God- erich hydro commissioners are "sit- ting tight." (il) SEAFORTH: The annual musical festival presented each year by the pupils of the Public School which was held in Cardno's opera hall on Thurs- day evening, attracted a large and appreciative audience. Principal Moffatt presided. ' Rev. W. P. Lane of Northside United Church gave a, short address, The high light of the program which contained its usual excellent standard, was a Japanese operetta with Oriental ornaments, songs and dancing. Other numbers of interest included the Frigid North. Pole, where the Teddy Bears play; Old England, where the Maypole holds sway and the Emerald Isle with its Irish Jigs. Between the drills were various patriotic and seasonal two-part 'choruses and "a surprise" from the small kindergar- teners. The concert was under the able direction of A. W. Anderton. SEAFORTH: Mayor J. F. Daly presided at an interesting ceremony on Friday evening, after tho perfor- mance at the Regent Theatre when the cups won by the softball teams were presented to the winners. The Ecclestone Cup, won by Grand Bend, was presented by Andrew Steep. Clinton, president of the league. It was accepted on behalf •of Grand Bend by a representative of that club. The Duncan Cup awarded to the most valuable player in the lea- gue was presented by the donor•, W. T. Duncan. Frank Sills presented the Sills Cup to Thomas Beattie, who accepted it on behalf of the winners, e=elleeee BGMONDVILLE: The Egmond- ville United church celebrated its 97th anniversary on Sunday at which there was a large attendance. Rev. George Watts, B.D., of Goderich, and Rev. Charles Cumming of Wal- ton, were the special preachers. In 1835 Egmondville was the Tucker - smith part of a three -township charge Goderich, Stanley, Tuckersmith. In that year the Rev. Alexander Mac. Kenzie was settled in the charge, the first Presbyterian minister in this part of Ontario. At that time the Rev, Wxlliant Proudfoot, later Pro, fessor in Knox College, reported that there were many Highland Presby- terians here and that practically all the Presbyterians were anxious for a minister. "Tuckerstnith," he said, "Presents a large and prosperous field of missionary labor. The sett- lors are a praying people." But the congregation was more or less Webs ulous, hovering from home to hone) from barn to mill, to school. house. In 1844, Tuckersmith was in Hamil- ton Presbytery and from that Press bytery received permission to call a -sinister. They called Rev. William Graham. On January 15, 1845, Mr. Graham was ordained and inducted into the pastoral charge which seems to have extended front Bayfield to Mitchell. He_ was the minister for thirty years. Brucefield b e - came a separate charge. Other min- isters who have been associated with Egmondville Church include: Alexan, der MacKenzie, missionary, 1835; William Graham, inducted 1845; John Bain Scott, inducted 1875; Joseph McCoy, 1Vl.A., inducted 1879; George Neel -men, B.A., inducted, 1890; Neil Shaw, inducted, 1893; James Argo, inducted 1912; Samuel McLean, B.A., inducted 1918; William IlfcDonald) B.A., inducted 1922, and the present highly esteemed pastor, Rev. Charles Malcolm, M.A. CHIC—� SEAFORTII: Rev. Canon Edward Appleyard, who has been transferred by Bishop Seager from the Church of the Ascension, Windsor, to Sea= forth, will probably take over his new charge this week, appearing in the pulpit on, the coming ;Sunday. WINORAMVM Lovers of music had a rare treat when the Orphees Male Choir:, of Kitchener, brought to Wings ham under the auspices of the Sun- day school of the United church, pre- sented a , program of musical selec. tions in the town hall on Saturday evening. This is the second appear- ance for this choir in W'inghasn. Not only on Saturday evening did they present their program to a Splendid audience, but also on Sunday.. This choir had full charge of singing in the United Church Sunday morning besides four of their number, who sang a quartette in the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in the morning. In the afternoon a sacred concert was again presented in the United church by the whole chair, and the Ungar quartette front the choir took charge of the singing in the evening. ab SEAFORTH: On Saturday an au- tomobile and a bread wagon crashed on a main intersection of Seaforth, both vehicles being extensively da- maged. Investigation by Traffic Of- ficer Lever disclosed that John efe- Ivor, of Staffa, had failed to observe a step sign before crossing highway No. 8, along which the bread wagon driven by Gordon Little, of Seaforth, was proceeding. Furthermore, Melte or had no driver's permit, and he has been invited to tell the magistrate all about it next Saturday morning. t=eell=> WINGHAM: Local Legionnaires held their annual service at the Uni- ted church Sunday. Some 80 men were in the parade, in charge of Mal jor H. C. MacLean, and led by the Wingham Citizens' Band. For the first time in a number of years, it was necessary to carry chairs in the chtu•ch, there being close to 1,000 who attended the service, which was in charge of the minister, Rev. L. H. Currie, B.A., who delivered an inn. pressive;- sermon, his subject,' "The War of ,Today."` During his sermon) Mr. Currie referred to the great sac- rifice that had. been made by those who had given,' up their lives, and those who had returned to their homes maimed for life, in order that we might enjoy the peace of the world, for which :they fought to malce secure. The "Last post" was sound ed by the bandanaster;• G. A. Schatte, after which two minu'tes' slim -tee was ob'sorved. The selections rendered by the Orpheus; Choir, in charge of R. A. McGillivray, with Professor A. Hel- ler at the organ, were fitting for the 'occasion. There was a large atten- dance for the sacred concert in the afternoon, when all the choir tool'. part, and when Prof. Heller rendered two organ numbers, which were much enjoyed, along with the vocal and violin selections. In the evening the Elgar quartet presented the service of song, the personnel of which is W. G. Mistele, first tenor; R. A. McGillivray, second tenor and lead- er; J. W. Stoner, baritone, and G. E. Jacob, bass. • EXETER: War has been de- clared on sparrows .in Usborne and Blanshard Townships. A number of boys under the captaincy of Allan Fletcher for Usborne and Jack .Gold- ing for Blanshard, are making life unbearable for the feathered crea- tures. INDEFATIGABLE (DOCTOR Many of the West Indies islands are visited nightly, almost without fail, by a cool breeze known as the "doctor." It used to be of some ad- vantage to sailing ships, :before the days of modern Canadian National liners that ply the Canada -West In- dies route. GOOD FORTUNE FOR RETURNED MAN IN LONDON Pony Currie, 40 years old, ex - service elan who got to London a few days ago and begged assistance at a charitable institution, where he now is, is one of the principal heirs in an estate exceeding 52.000,000. This was left by his uncle, Michael Byre vie, a cattle dealer, who died in New South Wales. Ile plans to remain in London until the arrival from Ireland of his sister, Mrs. B. Currie, chief beneficiary in her uncle's will, Cur- rie says them are five Canadian heirs, two sisters in a religious com- munity in Vatncouver; two privies, Father B.
