NTARIO LIBERALS PLAN
CONVENTION
•
At the conclusion of a meeting held
in Toronto on Monday, of the man-
agement committee • of the Ontario
Liberal Association, the announcement
was made that a convention of the
Provincial party would be held in To-
ronto early in December next.
This, we believe, is a wise move on
the part of the Liberal executive, as
now is the time to reorganize the
party so that in the next three or
four years, before another Provincial
election is due, it will have time to
get on its feet and make its policy
known to the electors of the Province,
The Liberal party in Ontario is fac-
ing a great opportunity, but on'.y the
united action of all its adherents will
enable it to once more become a
power in the land, and a Provincial
Convention undoubtedly will prove ths
first step in that direction.

her some years ago. She is suaaed�
by two members of, the first family,
and three children by the second mar-
riage, Grover and Elsie Pinder, oil
Medicine Hat; Mr. Bert Peart, of
Hibbert, and 'Misses Gertie and Myrtle,
at home. She was a true wife anal.$
mother and a kind neighbor acid
friend, and her death is greatly re-
gretted in the district, where shei
had lived for so many years. The
funeral was held on Thul;sday after-
noon and was largely attended. The
services were conducted by Rev. J. E.
Elder, of Milverton, formerly minis-
ter of Cromarty Presbyterian church,
of which church Mrs. Peart had long
been a member for many years. In-
terment was made in Staffa cemetery.
THE OTHER SIDE
The Watford Advocate is on the
right track when it says: "A Middle-
sex farmer was arrested because he
shot and wounded three men he caught
in his melon patch. From the dail>'
press reports one would think all
sympathy was with the three victims.
Had the farmer been a bank teller or
a merchant protecting his property
from such , raiders in the dark, he
would be lauded as a hero. Yet the
farmer's melon patch was his sole
means of livelihood. Here's a pian
who should be presented with a marks-
manship medal."
That is all' too true, The daily
press has reported a good many hold-
ups and robberies in the past few
weeks. Fortunately, the perpetrators
of these crimes, in many instances
have been captured, and are now be-
hind the bars. But the men who cap-
tured them, some at the point of a
gun, have not been made to do time
for their mode of capture.
On the other hand, these men, whe-
ther police or not, have received well
merited praise in the press and some
have been rewarded.
It is only a year or two ago that
a workman in Hamilton reached over
a board fence and with a hammer he
had been using, struck a man, run-
ning on the other side, a blow on the
head which laid him low.
The man laid low turned out to be
a bank robber and the workman re-
ceived not only a substantial reward,
;v,,,.,; .,..e pselse.
The Middlesex farmer laid out
three with a gun. He didn't do any
more damage to his victims than did
the man with the hammer to his, but
his only reward was a penalty at
the hands of the law.
Why the difference? Of course no
one would condone murder, but there
isn't much murder in a charge of
buckshot at a few yards range.
And the farmer needs protection.
There is not a section in Western On-
tario where farms have not been pil-
fered during or since the summer.
Sometimes it was a beef or two
from a field; again it was anywhere
from fifty to a hundred and fifty head
of poultry; a load or two of grain; a
set of harness and even a horse or
two.
In most of these cases the thieves
were undetected. But in a few they
were, and the only reason they were
not captured was because the farmer
either lacked the gun or the willing-
ness to use one.
Capturing thieves in the country is
a much more difficult feat than captur-
ing thieves in the towns and cities. In
the latter there are policemen on the
beats and people on the streets, and
a simple cry of thief will raise a small
army of pursuers.
A farmer has none of these things.
He is on his own, and if his only
means of capturing a thief is via the
way of a gun or some other as sure
an article, why shouldn't he be allow-
ed to use one?
When a farmer catches a skunk
in his chicken house he has a perfect
right to shoot it. Why should he be
prosecuted for merely wounding a
similar animal in a field, because it
happens to be a two legged member
of the same family, instead of a four
legged one?

Died Suddenly in Toronto. — On
Tuesday morning last Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Sheffer left here on the morn-
ing train for Toronto, being called
there through the very sudden death
of their eldest son, Norman, who was
found dead on Monday afternoon last
at the rear of the Gurney factory,
where he had been engaged in doing
some electrical work.. It appears that
feeling very ill while engaged in his
duties, he passed out to the rear of
the factory ••for fresh air and very
shortly afterwards he was discovered
by a couple of workmen leaning a-
gainst the running board of an auto-
mobile, he hawing passed suddenly a-
way from that dread disease, heart
failure. . Norman . was a Hensall boy
in his youth residing here with his
parents, but a number of years ago
he went to Toronto, where he had car-
ried on for many years a fine electri-
cal business, being an expert in that
line, and was well and favorably
known by 'a large number of friends.
He leaves to mourn his death, his par-
ents, in Hensall; one brother, William,
of Toronto, and one sister, Mrs. (Dr.)
Reid, of Port Rowan, together with
his wife, who was of Toronto before
her marriage and was well known to
quite a number here as she often ac-
companied her husband on his visits
to Hensall. Norman was a,great fav-
orite with his parents as was most
mindful of visiting them as well as
often having them for weeks at a
time in his Toronto home. We :be-
lieve he was fifty years of age, but
did not look it, but from the time he
was a small boy, had to sthuggle a-
gainst a weak heart, and it was net
thought by his relatives and friends
that he would have attained the age
that he did. Very much sympathy is
felt for the bereaved parents in their
advancing years and also for he wife,
brother and, sister.
