Our Seventy-third Birthday Monday last was Canada's seven- ty-third birthday. That is quite an age as human life is, viewed, but still there are many living who remem- ber well that day in 1867, that Can - 'Ada came into being. As a nation, however, and we are a nation, we are still in our ,infancy, and all over the nation we are pray- ing that Canada may be spared to live and to develop and to recognize • and carry out the tremendous re- sponsibilities which° rest upon our shoulders. It was not a'very happy birthday because it had to be celebrated un- .. •tder circumstances which no one at our birth or during the intervening years could • even conceive would come to pass. But those circumstances have come upon us and we will have to accept our responsibilities and bear - our burdens. We will have to work and fight and sacrifice for our na- tion if we are to keep it in our own hands and carry on the- tradition of our forefathers who left us our great heritage. And it was a heritage which no- people in any time or country ever had given' them. It was one of boundless wealth and great promise. It contained the seed of great growth, of great promise and great liberty, which our forefathers had so carefully and wisely planted and which we were left to cultivate and to harvest. Perhaps we have not worked as - lard anus -wisely as we might have done. Perhaps there has been a .lit- tle too much- slackness at some points and a little too mach thought- iessness or even avarice and greed at others, and perhaps over the whole there has been too much at- tention paid to personal liberty, and too little thought given to the rights of the people as a. whole. Liberty was our heritage arid` perhaps be- cause we have never had to fight and suffer and die for it, we have never prized it as highly, or known its real meaning as our forefathers did. But even if there has been a little too much slackness, a little too much taken for granted on our part, Can- ada has never . gone too far away from the straight and narrow path that leads 'to the promise of fulfil- ment, that she can not find her Way back again. And Canada will find her 'way back again. She has already turn- ed her face in that direction, and she will continue in that direction until her feet are firmly planted on. the right road again—if her people will only travel it with her.:, No one can tell the future and the present is darker than it has ever been. lout darkness comes before the dawn, and we hope and trust and fully believe our seventy-fourth birthday will be celebrated under much brighter circumstances than our birthday on Monday last. • Premier Hepburn I11 No matter what the polital thought of the people of Ontario may be, we believe we state public opinion when we say that there is sincere and widespread regret at the serious illness of Hon. Mitchell.. Hepburn, Ontario's Premier. Premier Hepburn has been a dyn- amic force in the administrative life of Ontario and even of Canada, since he assumed the Premiership of this Province six years ago. No Ontario Premier ever possessed .a more mag- netic personality; few have ever carried in greater measure the con- f dente of the people of the country, and none 'have ever mitered ofllce... under more auspicious circumstance. He is a man of very decided ac- tion; every decided Opinion, and very hair-trigger ,e ressiion, and urifor ate 'y these two . latter qualities ��.. gent years,, added to o►ta'ir or his weight s of hiS political friends or his political app But in recent y ars, it should be remenibered, Premier Hepburn has been laboring tut:der a very, severe handicap.; that of physical health. In fact there have been many times. when he carried on only through the exercise of • sheer will power and courage. It is not to be wandered at, therefore, that a man of his rest- less energy and. force might, under the circumstances, give expression to some hasty thought or harbor some hasty conclusion. 111 health is a real handicapp in any walk of life," and to a man in public life it is an almost unsurmountable one. But in spite.of his handicap and his faultsa--and he has some—Pre- mier Hepburn has proved himself a very able administrator. There are some who claim that Mr. Hepburn is the greatest politician of all time. There are others who are- not now so sure of it, but all, of whatever political stripe, will, we believe, ad- mit that he is a man possessing great natural ability; a great gift of ex- pression, and is a man of great abil- ity, even if that ability, in the minds of many, has been ,somewhat misdi- rected in recent • times. For that reason the people of On- tario hope, and hope sincerely, that the . rest and treatment which the Premier is now undergoing at Bat- tle Creek, will soon restore him to complete health, and that he may, in the course of a few months, be able to resume his duties again.' Canada needs all its men of ability these days and Premier Hepburn is a man of great ability. •. An Unusual Storrs This section is quite familiar with the usual summer thunder storm, but it is only- in a decade or so that., a. hail storm visits us during the summer months. - On Sunday last, however, parts of Huron were visited by the most severe hail storm in the memory of any resident, centered on the Clin- ton district, Following a morning of alternat- ing rain and sunshine, black clouds gathered shortly after noon, and from them the hail descended. First a few scattered pieces and then ;i real bombardment of large sized hail stones, which ,stripped the leaves from the trees and levelled the field crops as completely as if they had been cut, and the hail covered them like snow in winter. The loss of field and garden crops is almost total in an area four miles west and south of Clinton, and ex- tending five or six miles east. This has been one of the most pe- culiar summers in history. There has been an almost continuous rain. and not a great amount of heat, but what there has been has been of the humid variety and it has been fol- lowed by morerain. Furnace fires' up to July lst were quite general, but in spite of it all the crop situation is exceedingly promising. We do riot, however, want to have another experience of hail like we had on Sunday, and for- tunately, we are not likely to have. • Too Mang There were forty-one Iives lost in Canada over the holiday week -end, and nineteen' of -those, fatalities came from, Ontario. Perhaps they were not all prevent- able, but the automobile accounted for the greatest number and drown- ings came second. These are the summer months, ,•. when bathing, boating and automo- bile travel are at their height. For that reason all the care in the world should be taken when enjoying these summer pastimes. But care and safety first seem to have small place in the minds of a great many of our people, particu- larly\our young people. That is why we have so many shocking week -end casuality lists. These are sober :times, and the people of Ontario and of Canada must learn .to' live carefully and soberly in them. War casualty lists are already coming to Canada and they will increase as the weeks and Months go by, Whyadd to the grief and horror of the country'' b ',ha'ving added tai them home casmahty lints? We must learn, and learn $oon, that these are the most dangerous gm*. <fltat� norm Picked from Th. Hen Br4podter` of t=iny aynd I'viiintrfivo Years Ago. From The Huron Expositor 1. ,.

He once spoke of there being few honest men, and, I rather laughed at' the idea. After 'thinkinlg it over, howev- er, with a certain amount of natural 'evidence, I'v'e had some interesting thloughts. Mrs. Phil was shocked ,beyond words last night When her commer- cial travelling cousin popped In for the nilgaht. He presented, her with a .pair of bath towels•,,eand she was pleased until she found the name ,of a hotel • on therm,. However, he just laughed and said, "Oh,. they're just $souvenirs. You pay for 'thern in your hotel bill!" This, souvenir -bunting business may be perfectly legitritmate, but somehow it doesn't seem hoarest. It makes, me think of the .time that - w+e raised six fine Collie pups frena infancy. to a, point where they could- be sold. Com- ing out of Tim Murphy's store the sound of a pup 'yapping in a tourist's car attracted my attention to where an overgrown bey of fourteen or fif- teen was holding on to a pup. It was, 'oertainl'yy' one of bhe Collies' Prom Lazy Meadows, 'and the tourist who was having the car 'filled with gasoline, argued that it was a slouvendr they shad picieerd up in a farmer's laneway. After seneral minutes hand argument he handed back the souvenir. Banks 'seldom make mistakes,. In the village branch bank yesterday a man orated loudly on the swindling tactics of the bank and cited the case loud. enough for everybody to hear how he had just been .cheated. The teller checked up and par 1, him out fourteen cents of a misytake which he bad mean. That man: was quite right in demanding his full' amount, but it seems 'strange to recall how just a few weeks previously he cashed a cheque and received an extra two dol- ! lair bi•t]. He didn't take it back be- cause, �a5; he expressed it, "The banks make it out of us anyway. They'll make' a mistake some day in. their own' 'favor and' I won't notice it!" Something for nothing! That's the rule of the •'day with e great many people. Of course, there's always" an argument to make it seem honest. „tri i tiie a,pers�,: Taloa a day, off in the Fall and come back in the middle of the aftetneen.

"Mother of Lost Causes," they have long called Senator Wilson. Today she stands out an a mother of Eur- ope's persecuted and unfortunate. Senator Wilson .is„ unique in Can ada; exceptional anywhere. Special circumstances in her own life, .par- ticularly conditions in Canada, ;have contributed to 'her success, But her own. • personality and her ability to touch politics with alight hand and relegate it gracefully tents proper proportions have been the principal factors. , A Senator's Daughter Cairine Wilson was brought up in very comfortable circumstances in Montreal. Her father, the late Sen ator Mackay, was a sauccessfui, in- deed a very rich, merebant, and a public spirited citizen of the Province of Quebec. When he passed. on he lett all his children wealthy, sons and daughters equally, Seep:toe Wil- son says she -had never been taught to handle financial matters' eat home, but she thinks she must have inher- ited a streak of her father's Scottish shrewdness, a natural instinct toward her business affairs, .for dealing witb her own buhiness has never bothered her.

Family Companionship Cairinle Wilson sees ennsyideeably 'more of her family than ni,any an average mother who takes no. hand in politics. Her wealth she and her children enjoy without ostentation.
