"61 Huron I3oy i5 mai.i«+g good as the new leader of the Apposition. is the Ontario Legislature. The nezt step will be the Premiership, How long or flow sho. t that period of time may be is not of line consequence. The im- portant thin„ is William Proudfoot will merit the honor when if, comes. It will be so, because he was well born and trained in a stirring ,political camp, Thirty-nine years ago night be called the Golden Age of Liberaliser in Huron County. It was the days of the old knights whose names still kindle the fires of pride whenever mentioned, Great and mighty were the victories because one seat alone out of six withstood their as- saults: East Iiuron was kept in the Con. servative column. Thomas Farrow who 'went regtilnrly to support the national policy in Ottawa, lived as it were, on the edge of a precipice. A little bad luck at any time would easily have shoved him off. But he weathered all storms and re - elated all attack,, To begin with Malcolm Colin Cameron, had a seat in the I,'o.uinien Parliament for We;t lluron. In his palmy days his name, like that of Black Douglas, used to• strike terror ar'ound'the Tory firesides, He was a leader umong the Reform insurg- ents who ;,tormed the proud domains. of Sir John A. • McDonald. His• speeches therefore, were carefully preserved by his constituents for controversial battle. They were loaded to kill any kind of a Tory at ;300,yavds. Ills mate in the Ontario house was Zion. Alexander McLagan Ross, Provin- cial Treasurer, also from the proud old town of Goderich. "Honest A. M." .was the way the Reformers used to -think of, their representative; whom Mowat en trusted with the keys of. his flourishing. Treasury. Truth to tell, the Honourable A. M. was just as honourable as he look - •ed. Unlike Cameron, he was not eloquent. IIe'did not require it, because in figuring out an annual surplus each oile of his hearers took it to be the same thing as if it were, their own money in the bank.* Good cash surpluses were taken in lieu for golden oratory. • They of course carried the standard though underneath u ids ne nth were a host of notable men: There was John McMillan front South I luron, •who hated the N. P. as a poor sailor does the mal de tier. His mate, who Mood solidly behind Sir Oliver Mowat for a generation, was another good yeoman, Archie Bishop. Then up north Irl 1Irroxcter was the native heath- of Thomas Gibson, who represented the East riding, IIonest again is the word, f.r everybody called him "IIonest Tom." When he came back every foto years ,for re• election it was simply "veni, vide, vici," Ilow else would it be, when he left the impression that the only dispensation for Scotch Presbyterians from keeping the Sabbath was the liberty to discuss the merits of the Mowat Government on that day. Sloan of Blyth should also be mentioned among the leaders. The plucky doctor did his best to oust Thomas Farrow. and put hire outside the gates of this Utopia, Dr. McDonald, too, of Winghatn was fast gathering coin by a good practice to enable him to glee his whole time to poli- tics, for which he was richly endowed. Seaforth had its gladiator in the person of its sledgehammer editor, M. Y. McLean. Exeter sent its great debater Collins into the fray. Clinton was also awake through tete services of its brilliant young lawyer, A. H. Manning, He was a campaigner • of great merits. "Bob" Holmes, its popu- lar editor, was also doing his full share. Who can forget his Majestic Self Dan McGillicuddy, of the Goderich Slgnal. wlio even between elections carried a chi p • on his shoulder? The townships had their own squires, such as Charlie Girvin, John Washington, "Wally" Young; Hum- phrey Snell, Joseph Griffin, "Bob" Currie and William Isbister. It was at this political tournament that one, William Proudfoot, won .his spurs He was then a fresh faced young lawyer, who was content, for a living to carry the brief:; of •Garrote. his master, for this searching cross examiner was a busy man • in the courts of that day. For other em- ployment, he kept in his breast pocket, at election times the names of all doubtfuls, with other ear -Marks of the voters belong- ing to the realm of Cameron and Ross. That was about the chief item of Garrow's contribution to Westliuron politics. But the loan of this sauve young lawyer, who always had the senile of victory, who patched up all quarrels, and oreanized all - campaigns, was a considerable gift. There was at least this about it the work was well done and honorably done too: - For himself he saw there was something worth while in politics. The Huron members of Parliament were national ig- ut'es. They had put Goderielt oti the map. In time, Darrow was forced into the tourney, and at once began to carry off its honors. In his promotion, it was but natural for the next hi line to take up the banner. Thus we have William Proudfoot.

March 29th, at 2 30 p.m. The meeting was opened by singing the 121st psalm. after which Mrs, Dave Wallace led in prayer. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and adopted, a motion to send a cake of maple sugar in each pair of socks this month Was unanimously carried, and arrangements menta were made for doingthis. The Secretary read a paper on "Cheer- fulness," which had been handed in by Mrs. John Reid and this was much en- joyed. The members there had the pleaeure of welcoming Pte, Jos. Maine and Pte. Gordon Murchison of the Can- adian Light Horse, who are home on three months' leave. Pte Murchison gave a very helpful talk on the work of the Red Cross at the front, and the needs of the men in the trenches, and in very. kind words expressed his ,appreciation of the comforts which had been sent to him- self and his comrades by the Society, Forty-six pair of socks were handed in for the month of :Vl arch, which makes one hundred and sixty two pairs since Jan. 1st. Eighteen pairs were handed over to the Wingham Patriotic Society for the French soldiers, and the remainder were sent to the boys in England and France. The Society takes this opportunity of thanking the Turnberry Council for their grant of $75 on March 25th. The kind- ness of the Council is very much apprec- iated. Yes. Deal at Home A representative of a city printing house was in town recently andas usual carried, away several orders of wark. The "busi- ness" man listens to his quotations of envelopes in 10,000 bunches and figure: the price away lower than what he got from the local printer on a mean order of 250. When ordering, be fair to the man of your own town, whom _you expect to deal with you, let him quote you on the same size of an order and you will find the price will be as low. The only use some men make of the local printing office is to rush in on press day with a free local which he expects will indirectly as- sist his business or to advertise and pos- sibly when a rush order is needed to take it to the printing office and demand it in an hour. TDB ADVANCE is as well equipped to do job printing as any ofric& and the quality our work is unsurpassed. Several thousand large bilis were printed in Toronto and brought to Wingham fon distribution, and we will say if we had made as many mistakes itt a job we would never have sent it out. GIRLS!

It is not the intention of the Government to allow these men to evade per• martently their obligation to bear their part in the military defence of the Country and of the ideals for which we are fighting. To do so would defeat the purpose of the Act, and cause grave injustice to men in the second class necessarily called out to fill their places. Exemptions Granted on rake Grounds It is, therefore, proposed to scrutinize carefully all exemptions granted to date in order to separate those which have been granted on false or insufficient grounds from those that are well founded. With this object in view the various Registrars 'under the Military Service Act have been instructed to issue a series of questionnaires to exempted men. These questionnaires must be filled up correctly and returned promptly under penalty of forfeiture of exemption for failure to do so. Exempted Meet Who Have` Changed Address It is therefore important in thein own interest that ail exempted hien who have changed their address since their exemption was granted and who 'have not already notified the Registrar of such change should notify him at once. Under the Regulations it is the duty of exempted men to keep the Registrar advised of any change of address, and failure to receive the questionnaire by reason of neglect of this duty must be treated as equivalent to falIuta ',o return the cvest4onnaire after receipt, Citizens Urged to Assist In many instance* information has been furnished by members of the public ,tvhirh hes led .to the cancellation of exemptions obtained by false or mis. leading statements. E`urtber co-operation of this character is invited, The ' Government regard it as the Dtitty of all loyal citizens, not only to the Country, but to the men at the front, to assist In this way in securing reinforcements on a just and legal basis. Correspondence of this character will be mated as strictly Confidential and will receive the fullest investigation. CHARLES J.
