Cooper, hitch hiking inde- pendent candidate, the "Man With a Mission," in South Huron politics continues his statement of. policy in the following letter to the Huron -Exjaititora e . _ _ sion at it. See what he says about it. The present Administration has been in ten years' too long now. Both ray owe -lents halve their leaders in Toronto and they sure follow their leaders. Toronto is well looked after. Too well; IMet say. Wealth, and - population is self-centered there. To our eternal detriment in a civilized. British free countryside. OUT 'e•otin- ery is too civilized. The setups in Old Ontario is that we are over - urbanized and under- ruralized. The counties are not going round as they should. Let the' Man With a Mission at it for a year or two and you'll see that thing change its complexeon. Cooper is and always was cduntry minded, always stands for decent division of wealth, power and popu- lation. I stand for the old British way of free Ismail British institutions as opposed to monopoly and organiz- ed dishonesty in industry as we have it in these days. The two old line parties both Grit and Tory, have by mad- and stupid politics in this po- litical management ref -thie countrir for the last two decades of years; brought Canadian society to :die beeri- est standard /that has ever been in our history as a country. I would however, Much like to hear from Jim and George just what they think of my position. 1 don't mh care how- ever, Whether they do or not, for it lea well feat right now, they'll never be able to change it foie' they'll never get the chance unless they do so before election), day, They would eertainle come to be nice converts to '11tY Proposals after they eavt them Welle-everybody. at worlc WO -Page- 6) To the Editor Huron Expositor.

We have had too many elected in the past absolutely without (missions, of imeriey for the people. They extend- ed all kinds ,of mercy to all but the treat people of the country. One geed, (man with a message could turn Toronto right side up in one ,day if be would. Both the Government and Opposi- lion'tforces,fight politics too much to get anywhere.

EPORT ON WORK IS ISSUED BY -MOTHERS' ALLOWANCE BOARD George W. Holman is Chair- , man Huran County "Board. COL.R:S.HAYS, MEMBER. The -Bereft County -Mother' once Board inet at Clinton, en the 15th inst, and the meeting was at,. tended 'by Chief InspectorHaBentley ofthe Depar ttiment at T onto. The Department heads have beet visiting the several, ladar boards for consultation regarding the work of each county or city organization. Mr. Bentley gave valuable information with reference to the Work in the Province,. and commended very high- ly the splendid work done by the local Boards, which has been largely re- sponsille for placing the mothers' allowance system of giving aid to critictem. • With reference to investigators em- ployed, it was noted that ladies were 'better fitted' for this work as much cif their dirty was to -advise- motheree not alone on the necessity of economy and in methods' of business, but in the Proper treatment of the children en- trusted' to their care, who are virtu- ally under the Act, wards of the Pro- vince. 'More.recently, especially since the' depression has made its inroads on he financial arrangement a of people, much has been heard regarding a de- mand that the (atalification of a mother -to receive -the allowance be reduced from two Children ,to one. This, however, would involvie such a large increase in the expenditure that it would needs be anade up by decreasing -the number or the allow- ance of others much more in need of astistance. In the majority of cases one child is not a great detriment to mothers receiving employment, nor a great burden to maintain; besides, the- mother of one child is a young woman able to work 'ancl capable, in the majority of cases, of obtaining employment, while in the case of larger fa-milies the mothers are not elirble for employment slid their earning capacity is gone. Loss Sustained. During the year the local hoard sustained a very great loss in the death of the late Mrs. W. A. McKime of Goderich, whose services were greatly in -demand and inuch appre- ciated, where advice was necessary and adjustments to be recommend- ed. In recognition of Mrs. McKim's valuable cervices the board passed the following resolution: Moved by Col. H. S. Hays, seconded by Mrs. (Dr.) Powler, and resolved, "That we, the members of the Mothers' Allow- ance( Board or the County of Huron, wish to place on record our deep sense of the loss we have sustained in the death of Mts. W. A. McKim, of Goderich, a valued member of this Boaed. Mrs. 'McKim was a woman of splendid ichristian character and energetic in all social work of her town and church. Active, firm and sympathetic, she did much to lighten the burdens of those in distress, par- tierterly_ _those receieing aid under. the IlVtothers' Allowance Act." IMrs. H. Palmer, of Goderich, was recommended to f oullitte;hteoxtbm recommended to fill out the unexpir- ed term of Mr. MaKimrs appoint- ment, which would end the last of October next.
