The Seaforth News, 1923-02-22, Page 4'El' ;DRUM lE1 rE:j g J, F, SNOWDON, Proprietor. Omura! servation Well, the Oldest Inhabitant had something to 'talk about after _ that sto -rn. The ordinary man would like to be able to say that after bprrowing, like the zChatty Government, $84,000,000 be 'has a surplus of $1,218,059. Why borrow if he Inc over a million on hand? "Will the party, who paid the edi- tor of the Advocate $2,00 on Main street, Mitchell, on Tuesday, please sentt in his name so that credit may be given." — Mitchell Advocate, Doubtless Beer Davis would not re- ceive more than a dozen names. e5. What a convenient way Mr. Field- ing has with the budget. He brings clown part of his estimates for next year and says: "See how I have re- duced the expenditure over last" :Chen, when the whole matter is over he will bring in a supplementary esti- 'mate in the last few days of the ses- sion, bringing the whole up to last year or very much more. $e Sailors in the waters where sharks abound say that when attacked by these monsters, the only way to es- cape, sometimes, is to sink to the bot- tom of the ocean and stir up enough mud to darken the water and thus escape unseen. Evidently this is what 'the Drury Government is do- ing at the present time. The farmers are tired of the reckless expenditure on roads and commissions, and the government is trying by means of the O.T.A. to stir up something that will hide them. from punishment, Half the speeches, are not defence of their expenditure, but claiming that some one is after the O.T.A. m There is an old saying: •"When yourcase is bad abuse your oppon- ent," that is often resorted to by the legal profession. The only legal light in the Drury Cabinet appears to have teamed the apt trick and used it fast week to the limit. Instead of defending the actions of his govern- ment, he ignored them and spent two hours abusing his opponents, in this ease chiefly Mr. Ferguson, lead- er of the Conservatives. If he had told the house and the country why their taxes have gone up so much during the past three years, It would have been better. He would seem to hope this would be forgotten. 1 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS 1 By W. H. T. I 'tt t# One year ago to -day was the great ice storm. And one hundred. and ninety-one years ago 4o -day George Washington was born.. Having men- tioned the birthday of this great man, it niay not be amiss to say of him, 'that he was 6 feet 2 inches in height, of great physical strength, a grace- ful and fearless horseman, very care- ful of his personal appearance, and gracious and dignified in his manner. But to get a proper and adequate idea of what George Washington really was you must listen to a description of him as given in the fervid elo- quence of a Yankee orator, and you will conclude that he was a happy compound of all the qualities that contributed to the greatness of Jul- ius Caesar, Hannibal, Scipio, Napol- eon, Solomon, Solon and Lyeurgus, s5* Who said this was going tee be a mild winter? Even a down east Yankee would have to yield the palm for blowing to the westerly wind on St. Valentine's Day: During the war, our soldier boys in France used to dig themselves in, but we civilians in Canada' after a heavy snow storm, have to dig our- selves out. "Peace bath her victories no less renowned than. War," and the man who on the battlefield seen his foe - man reel in death before his blow of might, is no greater a hero than was each of those plain, humble men in the Toronto gas works who rushed. to certain death in their endeavor to save their fellow mem As the years go by, and one after another of our frienfis is laid inthe brave, a feeling of loneliness cornes over us and we almost Iona for the time when we, too, shall have done with earlb.

These! teachers have been brought out under the auspices of the Fellowship of the Maple Leaf, and are to be em- ployed in Saskatchewan and Alberta achoolse We heartily welcome them to our country, not only because they will teach and train the boys and girls of the prairie provinces in the ordinary public school .course, but mainly because they will tend to im- plant in the breasts of those boys and girls the 5entirrientsof loyalty' and devotion to the British Empire, and thus to some extent euunteract the non -British and anti-British seati- :*:'ent brought into the country by the settlers from continental Europe and from the United States, Just think of it. 1n a few weeks the snow shovel will give place to the spade, the hoe and the rake, For Infants and Children Nen Use For Over 30 Yeatrs Always bears the Signature of - ✓ e DOINGS IN THE LEGISLATURE Another week in the Legislature sees the debate on the address ad- vanced by five speeches, and a mea- gre list of public business nibled at between times. Two Liberals, one Conservative, one Labor member, and one former Liberal now labelled U.F. 0.,,have.contributed to the debate. It is interesting to note that every speaker offered more or less serious criticism of the Government, the U.F. 0. member being no exception. J. G. Lethbridge, West Middlesex, praised the administration in a general way, but concluded with a protest, couched in serious, even pained tones, against the great outlay of money in salaries and retainers in connection with come missions of investigation. Engineers and other experts, hehadnoted, were able to draw down $20 000, $30.000and even $50,000 n a very short time, and he could not see the justice or neces- sity of paying any member, lawyer or otherwise, $$250 a day for appearing before a commission when some oth- er noor man whose evidence was pro- bably equally essential, received but $15 and- expenses. Mr. Lethbridge is a staunch supporter of the Govern- ment, and there is little doubt that he has made protest in less public man- ner, but without result, before he tools the method of criticizing in the House. Incidentally, the member's little reefrence to "whoever succeeds this Government" was much appreci- ated across the floor, General Hogarth's Charges. The Legislature no doubt gave spe- cial heed to statements made in the debate by D. M. Hogarth, Conserva- tive member for Port Arthur, on Thursday, because of his intimate ac- quaintance with the timber industry and New Ontario conditions in gen- eral. The member is the first native ,son of the north to sit in the House, `and has lived In New Ontario all his life except for the war years. I3is presentation of the Great Lakes Pap- er Company case and Backus deal was made with every care, and has not yet been seriously challenged from the Government side. Aside from naming Hon.. Harry Mills as the man who up- set the apptecart in the Nipigon affair Gen. Hogarth summed up his indict- ment of the Government in four counts: "That the Prince Minister, while de- precating from tha platform and in this Assembly the helplessness of the Government in the alleged conse- quences of the actions of his prede- '•e¢enrs in office. had personal knowl- edge that as hydro power was avail- able the Government would have `,ren. in the opinion of his counsel. within its normal and legal rights if it had cancelled the concessons of the Great Lakes Paper Comnany on account of the failure of the Company to carry out its obligations there- under. That as the result of the supine- ness and lack of business acumen of the Prime Minister, the Attorney - General and the Government in not forcing the Great Lakes Paper Com- pany to take power from Jan. lst, 1921, the province or the muuicipali- tres have suffered less to the extent of onwards of $1.000000. "That through the failure of the Government to take action. as advised by its counsel it was entitled to take, the province and the district have lost the benefits which would have at- tended the expenditul'e of $4,000,000, the amount required in -connection with the construction, of the plants as set out in the Great Lakes Paper Comnany agreement. "That through politica! patronage, as indicated by the active interfer- ence of the hon. member for Fort William and ivfinister of Mines, the °r-aflnd cent,•acts between the Hydro- Pleetrie Commission. the, City of Port Arthur and menednatity of Shuniale and the Great Lakes Paper .Co., were halted and nrevented. with :resultant loss to the province of aonroximately haif, a millinn rtnilars. tf the arraege- ,nent nrnnosed by ' the Gegory Com- mission is consummated."

He was a defeated T.ihrral can- didate in Halton for the Commons. Gordon Waldron's share of the pay roll was also announced, and evheri asked if he was the same Mr; Wald- ron who is counsel for the U.F.O. Cn- Operative, Farmer's Sun and n+her activities of the party, Hon. Mr. Ran- ey said: "The Government has no of- ficial knowledge." Gordon Waldron was Liberal candidate in Parkdale in 1917. J. G. Ramsden, Toronto, another defeated Laurier candidate of 1919. has been appointed to the Hydro -Commission vacancy. Not much wonder the Liberal Op- position in the Legislature is seldom hostile, and that the King; Govern- ment is even cordial towards its U.F. 0. allies. The Ontario Temperance Act, Premier Drury's refusal to meet the requests of the inter -church and Dominion Alliance delegationthe other day, in regard to removal of the exemption upon native wine, and action in regard to the prescriotinn system, rather outs him upon the de- fensive should be show further desire to make the 0.T.A, a campaign issue. Speaking to the sante delegation, he indicated an intention to resist any effort to obtain a referendutn on modification of the Act. maintaining that it is still on. trial. This spells dee feat for Karl Homuth's proposed mo - ton for a beer and light wine referen- dum and labels the Prime Minister as a stand -natter, .for the moment at Mast. There is plenty of material for criticism with respect to administra- tion of the Act, and it may have oc- curred to many' people that enforce ment might be saner and less hysteri- cal in the hands of the Conservative Party, which alone had. the courage to .place such an enactment on the sta- tutes. But evidently the O.T.A. can- not now become a major campaign is- sue, and this is as it should' be, for the more complete the divorcement of such a measure from politics the bet- ter.

The ice had to be cut away from the button holes of one fireman's coat ly?- hr.& he could be released from it, The Sisters of the Corpus Christi Home, nearby benevolent institution, did splendid service by supplying the fire- fighters with hot tea. coffee and sand- wiches, and bandaging up their ice - cut wounds, received from the ice - covered hose. Without their aid, as Chief Hanson, of the fire department truly said: "I donut know what the men would have done." It was a ter- rible fight with the relentless fire fiend and the boys suffered severely. Fooling the Hens. Here comes 'Mrs. W. FI. Benner of this city, fooling her sixty hens by artificial light and to her pecuniary advantage. These hens had been slow on the job, laying only from 8 to 10 eggs per day, with fresh eggs high in price. She struck on the novel plan of turning 'on the electric lights in the hennery at 5 a.m., leaving 1' to burn until daylight; and she also turned on these lights several hours In the evening. The hens were trick- ed into believing it was all dayligh` and soon were laying from 24 to 60 eggs per day, which good results Proved that some of the hens were fooled all the time and all the hens some of the time. So itis up to your readers to decide: Was the use of artificial light responsible for these good results? Near Luxor, Egypt, scientists. in- vestigators and others are disturbing the resting „places of a mummified Pharoah, who has leen silently slum- bering for sone 3,000 years or more.

A. stuffed figure was supodsed to be the mummy. With voice of varying pitch, interrogatory at times. bodies• swaying, fingers isolating and other gesticulations, we tried to do our part to the best of our ability and of our splendid teacher of that day. It could be truly said that he was a strict disciplinarian and impartial. Speaking of measles I was eighteen years of age when I was taken dnwn with them. close to April, 1875.
