SEAFORTII, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1915
:FRO ONTARIO'S CAPITAL
Toronto, May 18th; 1915.
Toronto wee greatly agitated over the
Lusitania einning and the most intense--
ly lisatter feeling was engendered against
the Germans or anything Germaa. This
feeling was probably more marked in
this ctty on account of eo rcany
of Toronto's citizens being passeagers
on (the (ill-fated veasel and many of s
them were lost ,As s tusualln the case
under similar circumstances, somere-
markably peculiar things were done.

Church at once ordered the persons

turally refused to acceed to the Mayor's
request as the 'sign had coat their over

quires a good many glasses of beer to
make up for such a sum, it not nur-
prising that the parties refused to de-
stroy their fancy sign just as they
had it constructed. The Mayor then
ordered the Chief of Police to have the
sign removed. But after consulting the
City Solicitor, the Chief of Police found
he had no authority to carry out the

of e. ehrilar nature, the, Provincial
Board of License Commissioners have
ordered the withdrawal of license,s from
all the German clubs in the city. To
this order no. one will object mucli,
as this is no tire when Germans should
flaunt their :nationality in the faces
of 'Canadians. There Is no good reason_
why any of these National clubsshould
be maintained and the fewer of thern

Canadians and Britishers in this coun-
try and these so-called clubs eitcply
serve to keep up the. National distinc-
tions, which Is not in accordance with
the proper National sentiment,. although
the Germans have not been the only
;inners in this re-spect, an they have
'simply been follosving the example ef

the ,present action will have the result
of ,doing away with all these chtbs it
will be a good thing. The Cana.dian

is ;all that is nece-a.sary in that line,
and it should be liberally supported' and
all 'nationalities should be encouraged
to join it.: •

money would be' spent in Toronto this
summer. after an. The railways whic,h
were 'to ; put up the new -Union station
on Front street have handed out num-
erous prointses, but the actual start of
operations never gets nearer than a
week away. As the scheme is ten years
old,_ the railways erobably feel a little
diffident about rudniy_ altering a situa-
tion which has existed for a whole de-
cade. Then there is the rconey which
the Dordinion government is to spend
on new buildings in Toronto, a new
postofnice, etc. Motley has been voted
forttleis work, but money voted is not
always money spent, and it is known
that the government intends' to go ging-
erly with its expendituren •this year.
Moreover, with re,spect to part 'of the
programme, the government must wait
for the railways. -
Word has -been recelved here that
Mrs. (Dr.) Ryerson, who, with .her two
daughters, were passengers on the
Lasitaala, was drowned and the re -
remains were found and identified, but
her two daughters were !saved. 0.ne of
the daughters is now in Paris with her
father, who is superintending Red Cross
affairs in that (part of the world. The
sad death of this worthy lady is deeply
regretted by the people of Toronto, as
she was possessed of ample means in
her own right her charitaible operations
covered a very extended and varied
shgere and she will be rr uch missed and
lovingly remembered by many. In' her
early days before her marriage she
was a Mies Gooderharr, a member of
that wall known family in this city.

A Western Visitor
The Expositor had a very pleasant
visit on Saturday from Mr. William
Gibbings, of Virden District, Manitoba.
Mr. Gibbings was one of the pioneer
residents of Huron: ,He was born in
Clinton eighty-two, years ago and has,
the bailor of being the first white male
chi.d born an the Huron tract. When
his family came to Huron the Huron
road was not built further west than
New Harrburg, and the only guide in-
coming settlers had to enable them to
follow the :road was a blaze on the
trees. Mr. Gibbings cleared and owned
the farm in the Huron ,Roar, Tucker-
s/pith, at AIma, now owned by his son
Rebert. Thirty-two yearengo he went
to Manitoba, and now himself and three
sons own and i work three sections of
land within Inn ,miles of the town of
Virden, and four rrilee of' the village
of Lavoie., where there are three or
four !grain elevators. Mr. Gibbings ,seys
that many of the farmers in 'Virden
district have as comfortable homes and
as ,good out-ibuilding-s as can be found
In any part pf Huron. They engage
largely in mixed farming, raise most
of the khorses they require on the farrr
and. raise and breed large numbers of
eteers. Many farmers winter from fifty
to nixty tsteers. Instead of burning the
straw as they were in the habit of do-
ing in- early dans, they now have it
converted into rx:anure and use it for
fertilizing the land. They use it on
summer fallow. Mr. Gibbings is a black-
smith by trade and he has a shop .on
one a its .farrre and. instead of work-
ing !orn the land he employs his time
in his Shop repairing the farm machin-
ery and doing other needed work of
that nature. He has been ,spending the
winter with his on in Bullet, and oth-
er friends and intended returning to
the West this week. Ile likes the West
and 'although well advanced in years
he is still remarkably bright and ac-
tive and looks as if he might enjoy life
for a goalmany years yet.

There has net been 'se much election
talk ihereabauts durin-g the last week.
Ti -ere is an impresston that the June
election is off. There has not been any
official pronouncement to that effect,
but 'politicians have got the feeling that
tbere will be nothing doing for a time,
and there is a consequent slackening
In the preparations. But stalwarts of
both parties aver that fat a day or
two it depended on the flip of a coin.
They eay that the country will never
again be so close to an election and
then escape.
They !don't all use the word escape
because they don't ,all look at it that
way. There were many, a great many,
who liked the idea of an election and
were openly and enthusiasticly in fav-
or of having it, but 'they seem ta have
agreed that the Psychological moment
had passed and that nothing' would be
lost lby wainr.g.
It appears that Toronto views had
something to 4a with the decision to
postpone the appeal.• Toronto is the
sheet -anchor of Toryism, and Toronto
was reported to be against a June elec-
tion. It was argued that if Tory To-
ronto felt that way about it, other
cities, towns, villages and hamlets,
'must be feeling rather keenly on the
subject. There was, in faCt, .a lot ,of
cold water thrown on the election proj-
ect for various reasons, rroetly busi-
ness treaSette. Protests, on one ground
or another, went dOwn to Ottawa. It
Is ;said here that the turn came when
the igovernment'e own supporters made
their views known, the substance a
theee views being -that the time had
passed and that cenditions were not
favorable.
On the topeef this came the illness of
two premiers. Sir Robert Borden in
Ottawa' was found to be more Or less
all in after the seesien of the Domin-
ion Parliament and. had to seek the
recuperative influences of eeclusion in
the Gatineau valley. Premier Hearst
of Ontario, also brake down, took to
his bed and developed a rather 5evere
case of pneumonia. On the whole, -there-
fore, the situation didn't look too good.
Envoys returned from the capital wtth
the unofficial announcement that the
election was :off for the present. They
are not eure 'ase to jut wbat is meant
by "for the present." They think tt,

custom, for many years. They went
from here to Lubbock, Texas, and spent
several days there driving over the
country getting cattle ready t� ship to
KirriSe.S. lir. tWa.ugh seened to Zbe feel-
ing good and was enjoyieng the trip.
Several three he expressed a desire ta
se a wolfe chase while; in Texas on
this trip. On Tuesday, April 27thMr.
Waugh becsare sick at Lubbock and
wet to a doctor there for treatment,
thinking it was an attack of etorrach
trouble which had 'buthered him about
every two or three months for the pant
three years. His condition grew a little
worse 'and he feit so bad that he -and
Mr. Shumate separated at Abernathy
arid Mr. Waugh started home, 'while
Mr. -Shumate loaded a train load Of
cattle. Shortly after the train pulled
out of Abernathy it was necessary to
°ail a doctor for Mr. Waugh as , he
was getting very sick.' He was taken
off the train at Arcaritlo, Texas, at
noone,Wednesday, 28111, and hur-
ried 'to! a hospital. Here the doctore
advised 'hirn that he hed an acute case,
of appendicitis and wanted to operate
upon him at (once. Mr.,(Wiaugh did not
want to be operated upon white he was
there alone and so refused -to allow
them to operate until Mr. Shumate got
there. An urgent telegram was sent
to (Mr. Shumate, who was then ,on his
way !to;Aararida. As soon as he arrived
at the hospital. he held a consultation
with the tincture and i found that Mr.
Waugh's case was indeed 'very serious.
He asked if an operation was necessary
ard they advised, him that it was. They
told hirre that 'without' ar. operation Mr.
Waugh could not live more than two
or three houre, and that he had a vent
small chance to recover even with an
operation. Mr. Shurrate went to Mr.
Waugh and. told him- that he would
have to have an operation, To this Mr.
Waugh replied, "I don't believe I will
have to have an operation, as I feel
much better sow."' The appen.dix had
burst about five oe six hours after
he angered at the hospital, and this
was stile cause of hie feeling better a-
bout seven hours before the operation.
Dir. -Shumate told hien that the cypera-
tion was very neceseary and that he
neutst not delay another minute. To this
he 'replied, "All right Crew, if it has
to be done let them. go ahead, but
will never get over , it." Mr. Shuniate
tried to cheer hitt up and told. him
that rrany people were operated upen
and that perhaps he would be all right.
He gaid he would feel better about it it
he was only at /Wipe and could have
the next train out of town, not, how-
ever, In the direction of Strathroy.
