Editorial Notes and Comments.
The 'Liberals of South Waterloo had a
splendid convention in New Hamburg on
Thursday of last week. They selected Dr.
Thompson, of Galt, as their candidate.
South Waterloo is one of the constituencies
which went wrong at the last election by
electing a Conservative for the first time in
ite hiatory. It is hoped Dr, Thompson will
right this wrong at the approaching elec.
tion, as he is admitted by all to be a strong
and a good man, and the very able and con -
viewing address delivered by Premier Ross
on the evening after the nomination should
aid materially in the desired result.
Hon. J. R. Stratton, the Provincial Sea:
rotary, ssems to be the principal target of
the Coneervativepress at the present t ime,
and especially so of the Toronto Mail. Mr.
Stratton should feel flattered by their atten-
tions. This shows that he is a growing man,
and that he is making his influence fele in
the country in the interests of the povern-
ment of which he ia a member. Were it
not for this Mr. Stratton would not receive
the attention from the Mail and 5 s col-
-leagues they are now giving him.
The earreing of flasks of liquor is -.lid to
be the fad of the hour among ultra-lashion•
able New York women. It was offensively
noticeable at the great yacht races. A New
York paper says " One very nautical
young woman made herself ultra-conspieu-
ous on every _trip of a certain excursion
boat by the public fashion in which she
lugged her liquor alon-g. Her flask was
-.suspended from a strap over her shoulder
and hung on one side, while a heavy pair of
- field glasses hung on the other
side. She wore a man's felt ha t
and boot .4 that look ed suepiaiously
rnaneish, and if she had produced a cigar-
ette and smoked it none of the people who
found much entertainment in watchiug her
would have been surprised. She was with
a party of about a dozen, every one of
whom, male and female, carried a more or
Less generous eupply of etimulant. All be-
longed to what is called good seciety." On
this the Hamilton Times remarks : " That
is not a very good sign. Now, what sen-
sible young man would select ono -of these
flask -sucking girls for his wife ?'' Who in-
deed'? But may we not with equal propriety
ask what sensible young woman would select
flaek-sucking young man for her husband ?
There should be no, code of morals placed
on one sax -that does not bear with equal
weight on the othere It is only habit that
makes some people think there should.
An exchange remark/ : "Ontario grain
dealers are complaining loudly at the dearth
of freight oars et their disposal. They say
between 200,000 and 300,000 baahels of
Menitoba wheat are lying in the elevators
at Port Huron, Goderich, Midland and
other lake ports, awaiting cliseribution to
millers. It would take about 400 cars t°
move the 400,000 bushels of wheat, but it
seems as if all rolling stock avails,ble is oc-
cupied with export busiee " And we ven-
ture -to say that three-fourths of thee export
business comes from the United States. It
was ever thus, and will likely remain so for
all time unless the people of this Province,
who are the principal sufferere, rise in theie
might and force those in authority to re-
quire the railways te do their duty towards
the ehippers and farmers of thih country.
The people can do it if they will.
The Toronto Glo-be, of a few days ago,
sap : " It is understood from reports re•
ceived at the parliament buildingattuif ap-
plicaeion will be made during the corning
session of the Legislatare for a charter for
an extension of the Manitoba and North
Shore Railway from Wiarton to Goderich.
Siihedies have been voted for the construc-
tion af the line from Meaford to Sudbury,
also west from the latter point to the Soo.
The people of Bruce and Huron ceunties
have thought the time opportune for railway
connection along the shore of Lake Huron,
and yielding to preseure from this source,
Mr. F. H. Clergue is said to be favorable to
tapping this section of the country by meats
of an extension from his railway at Wiarton,
which point it will pasts through on ite way
to the Bruce peninsula. The new branch
would be about 60 mil( s long, and would
afford railway communication for South-
amption. Port Elgin, Tiverton, Underwood,
Kincardine end other places, as well as
Goderieh, besides making connection with
Bu,ffeloeend Detroit."
There is a good deal of common sense in
the following from our neighbor, the Hen -
seal Obeerver " Those who_ complain of
the waste material in the 'decorations and
arches pat up in the various- ()Wee of the
Dominion to welcome the ' heir apparent,'
slaould remember that the money is paid to
the skilled workmen who did the erecting
and decorating. Also that much of the
material will be used afterward for other
_purposes. The city of Toronto spent some
thousands in this way, but there were hun-
dreds of thoueande of dollars spent in the
city as the result of the influx of so many
grangers. Figured down finely there is no
waste in anything of this nature any more
than there is in a lady wearing a silk
drsss when a cotton one might answer."
The MOntreal Herald, whioh is usually
very well informed on political matters,
says : "It is ditlficuIt'to know why, but for
some reason there is a belief in very well in-
formed circles in .thataro that -the coming
inclgtnent-of the Privy Council will favor
the contention that Manitoba is within ler
right in partaingprohibitory legiele.tion." The
same journal also says that do the event of
the judgment being given/that way Premier
Roes will impliment the pledge of his prede-
cessor, Sir Olirer Mornat, and will submit a
•
THE HURON EXPOSITOR

prohibitory measure for, this Province for
the approval of the Legislature. In doing
this Mr. Rose would -only be doing what the
people have a right to expect from him. On
two different occasions, have the people of
-this Province declared very emphatically in
favor of a prohibitory law. The appoach•
ing election would be an Opportune time to
got a third and final test on this question.
If Premier Roes should make prohibition a
plank in his 'platform, as Hugh John Mao-
donald did in Manitoba, he would meke les
big a shaking up in political parties as Hugh
John did, and if the people -are honest and
sinceie, as we believe they are, he would
make as :big a sweep. This would be an
issue worth fighting about.
IR view of the loud and continued
complaints of some parties of the ill
manner in which Boer women and children
in the refuge camps in South Africa are be-
ing treated by the British 'military' auther-
itdes, the British Government recently ap-
pointed a commision of six British ladies to
go to South Africa and inspect these camps,
so as to get a true etatement of the situae
tion. This commiesion- is now traveling
abaut the country in two saloon carriages,
inspecting Boer refuge camps with excepte
ional thoroughness. There are 30 camps,
and the comMission ie not likely to finish its
labors before the ,end of' December. The
Government ie rigid in its reqturement for
eecrecy,and the judgrnentof the commiseion
on all points relating to the humanet rest-
ment of Boer women and children will be
reserved for a parliamentary blue book. It
will be the most important t oontribution
made by women in the historY of the war.
A Montreal ' corresPondent seys : " The
Hon. Edward Blake was at the Windsor ho-
tel to -day, but was characteristically silent.
He refused to say a ward on the • Irieh
question, was dumb on Dominion politics,
and parried all questions in regard to his
personal or political future. He said he had
made it a rule 40 years ego not to be inter-
viewed, and he had never broken nit all
these years. He would, not begin now, for
he would have to -say to all What he had
said to one. Mr., Bleke Is very graedous in
mannerebut he refuses to be quoted. The
former Liberal leader looked well, although
age has not'quite foigotten the man wile
just failed to reach the highest note h in the
Irish parliamentary partye which was riot
concerned so much with fact—in regard to
which Mr. Blake was a seickler—as a burn-
ing eloquence which the former Canadiau
was not able to eupply." It is a pity that
same of our would-be Canadian statesmen
do not follow Mr. Blake's example. They
might not be able to get their names in the
papere quite eo often, but they would show
more digniay andbe equally well thought of
by sensible people.
Premier Rts4 made a good hit in his
speech at New Hamburg, . in South Water.
loo, the other day. He said : " Somebody
had done something for agriculture in Oii-
tario in the past few years, when out of 21
medala for horses, cattle, sheep, swine and
cheese at the Pan-American, Ontario had
secured 16. -We had only 4,000,000 cantle,
aa compared with the United States' 44,-
000,000, but we were able to compote
with them with this result. The Govern-
ment did not claim all the eredit, but if we
had won no awards some people would have
eaid that the Government was to blame for
not promoting agricultural education."
would almrst seem as if the people c f
Toronto were somewhat rusty in their cow t
etiquette. According to a correspondent- of
the 0:.tawa Free Prue, " the Duchess," et
the reception held ia the parliament build-
ings, " everybody who attinded wanted to
be presented first, so that there was a hor-
rible crush, in which many ladies had their
gewna torn to pieces. One lady from Ot-
tawa, the wife of a Cabinet Minister, had
her gown so badly torn that she was obliged
to get out of ehe crowd and go home with-
ont being presented." It is also said that
the floors of the parliament buildings, the
morning after the reception, were so be-
strewn with beads, bangles and other dress
adornments that they were crumpling under
the feet of those walking on the floors, also
that shreds and pieces of beautiful drems.
that had been torn off in the crush were
lying around everywhere. However, its all
for the good ef trade.
While Imperalism is, perhaps, growingly
popular with many in this country, more
especially the older generation, we have
reason to know the feeling is not by any
meane all prevailing. The young men of
the couetiy, many of them, do not gee so
much in it.. Canadianism is, and should be,
a deal more to them. We were particularly
pleased to receive the following in a note
from a young Canadia.n of ability and influ-
ence, who occupies a good position in his
native country. He says : "Let me take
this opportunity of expressing my apprecia-
tion of the healthy Canadian spirit ()flour
editorial columns. In a time when so many
Canadians are being carried away with the
visionary Imperial idea, it is refreshing to
find such a fburnal years with the con-
viction that we have as much Inver ielism as
we need."
It is said that Mayor Howland, of To-
ronto, is brushing up his fighting armour
with a view to entering the lists for a second
term. We do not knew how he will suc-
ceed. Toronto is a Tory city, and if the
" boeses " find it necesarry, in the intereat
of the party, to keep Mr. Howland in the
civic chair, there he will remain. AS a
mayor Mr. Howland has been about as great
a failure as he wee as a legislator. He le
more ornamental than useful. However,
he is better than his predecessor, the notori-
ous McDonald, for if he does not do any
geed he will not do much harm.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and
York left Canada for home on Monday
morning. They sailed from Halifax. The
Duke, in a letter to the Governor-General,
expressed in yery warm terms their appre-
ciation of t he kind and hearty reception
accorded them by the Canadians and refer-
red in most complimentary terms to the
.great and growing industries -of this great
and growing Canada of ours. It is to be
hoped he will not forget to sound its praiees
,as loudly when he reaches the other side of
the water. The royal party are to be given
a great public reception on their arrival in
England.
, The Toronto Mail publiehed a yarn on
Monday last to the effect that the Ontario
Legislature would be,called to meet early in
November ; that the eeesion would be closed
by the new year ; that there would be an
immedeate dissolution, to be followed by
the general election in February or early_ in
March. The reason given by the Mail for
this change of front on the part of the
Government is that on account of the op-
position of Mr. Goldwin Smith and other
constitutional authorities to the act passed
at the last session giving the Legislature
power to extend its own life. until the oloae
of the eeesion Premier Rosa had become
afraid to avail'hingself of the Revivers given
by the aot and had consequently decided to
}neve t
lative

e elections within the regular legis -
term. Premier Rose, however, says
ere- is no truth in the Mail's -awry •
e Legislature will not meet until
ea and that.the general elections will
ke place until May or June. The
r should be the best authority on
of this kind.
The latest reports are to the effect that
. E. II. Massey, of Toronto, the presi-
dent f the great Maisay-Harris Implement)
Menu acturing Compeny, is hopelessly ill,
and is rapidly sinking. He has been ill for
about a week. He is a comparatively
youne man, and is One of the leading -citi•
zens f Toronto.
Th Liberals of East Kent, at a, very large
oonve tion, held on Tuesday last, selected
Mr. J hn Lee, of Highgate, as their oandi-
date to fill the place vacated in the Ontario
Legisiature by the death of Mr. Robert Fer-
guson As there will only be one seseion
betwe n this and the general election and
the a nstitueney is strongly Liberal, the
probabilities are that the Conservatives will
not p t up a candidate and that Mr. Lee
will b elected by acclamation. The date
of th election has been fixed for the llth
of No ember.
Pre ident -Roosevelt has incurred the very
great ispleasure of a good many people in
the , nited States, especially among the
South rners, and several Southern papers
are b rating him in good style. Aad all
beoau e he entertained a negro gentleman at
dinne in the White House at Washington.
The g ntlemah who has been thus honored
is Mr. Booker T. Waehington, the founder
and ead of the great Tuscagee training
schoo for negroes. Mr: Waahington is a
self -m de man in the highest sense of the
term, and has attained his present high
positi n despite the disadvantages of his
color nd race. He was the son of a slave,
with o early advantages save whet his own
energ ability and firnmeas of purpose
afforded. He is now one of the ablest men
as welas one of the, best orators of the Un-
ited S, ates, and has done a mighty work for
the ueilifeing-of his unfortunate:and down
trodden fellow mortals. In doing honor to
such manSPresident Roosevelt is honoring
himeel and his countey, and he can well
afford o let his foolish'and fire-eating critics
howl. Every right thinking man will honor
him fo it.
It ould seem as if there ie a good sized
split i the minks of the Provincial Conserv-
ative party. Mr. Charles R. Mabee, of
Toren' o, who claims to be an organizer for
the Censerva.tive party, has published a
letter n the Toronto Star, giving a letter
which he says he has addressed to Mr.
Whitney, the leader of the Conservative
party.- In this letter Mr. Mabee tells Mr.
Whitney very plainly that he is not " the
man f r Galway ;" that he has becn weighed
in -the alance and found too light for the
leader of a political party, and asks him
plaint to step down and out from the
it
leader hip. Mr. Mabee further says that
ne has returned from a visit through Ontario,
and he has called on many Conservative
candidates in the field and that this is the
opinio of every one of thetn. Mr. Mabee
has al o ise.ued a pamphlet in which he de -
ileum a his leader for having recklesely
Equan ered ' the Conservative campaign
funds. fid of having by his incapacity and
selfish tuborness wrecked and ruined the
party. He further says that the 'greater
portio of this pamphlet was written ia the
Conservative headquarters in Toronto and
,was a proved by thoee he authority there.
Also hat " there will soon be a general
breaki g up here, and a number of reeigna-
tions ill be sent in, to take effect within 60
days, nnless a convention is called and a
new leader appointed. Whitney's gross
mismanagement:. has oaused many of our
best w rkers to ' intend pat ' until some one
is app inted to replace him!' All this looks
bad fo Mr. Whitney and the Conservative
party. THE EXPOSITOR announced some
time ago that there was serious friction in
the ranks of the party, and that there was a
movenient in certain quarters to oust Mr.
Whitney from the leadership, but few out-
side of the inner circles supposed the diseen-
sions had -reached so &lute a stage as now
appears from the action of Mr. Mabee.
Considering the - nature of the difficulties
and th near approach of the general elec-
tions, f , Mr. Mabee's statements are reli-
able, it will be impossible for the party to pull
itself t gether in time to do' effective work
in the eneral campaign.—It is but justjto
say in his connection that the Conservative
papers deny Mr. Mabee's statemeets and
aver th t the party ii etill a unit ; that Mr.
Mabee as equally willing to work for both
or eith r party, and 'that as the Liberals
'paid hi most liberally, he undertook the
task of writing down Whitney instead of
Ross, a was' hie &et intention. However,
there a e statements in Mr. Mabee's pamph•
let whi h are not by any means explained
away b the statements of these papers, and
where t ere is so much smoke it may be de-
pended upon there is some fire.

OBITUARY.—It ii with feelings of deep
regret that we this week chronicle the
death of Annie McDougall, beloved wife of
Mr. Hugh J. Ramsay, which sad and sud-
den event took place on Wednesday morn-
ing of last week. Mrs. Ramsay was the
fourth daughter of Mr. Donald McDougall,
formerly of this village, but now of Oran -
brook, and was united in marriage to her
now bereaved and sorrowing husband only
three short years ago. Her early demise
will leave a blank in the home which ' can
never be filled. The funeral took place on
Friday afternoon.from her late residenee.
An impressive eervice was conducted by
Rev. A. McNabb, and the esteem in which
the deceased was held by her large circle of
friends was testified by the large assembl-
age who attended the funeral. Over 100
carriages formed the proceasion which fol-
lowed the remains to the Brussels cemetery,
and all that was mortal of one so well and
favorably known was laid to rest upon the
hillside where the autumn breezes fan the
flowers around a new made grave. Among
the floral offerings was a beautiful wreath
placed upon the 'casket by the Young
People's Society of Christian Endeavor, of
which the deceased was an active and valu-
ed member. Needless to say, Mr. Ramsay
has the heartfelt sympathy of the com•
munity in this sad hour of trial.
