36TR YEAR, NO. 51,
SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
—Again that notorious man -slayer,
Thaw, has been in the limelight, and,
once more he has been adjudged in.
sage. He and his equally notorious
chorus girl wife have had one thou-
sand tunes more publicity than their
characters or their questionable lives
deserved, For goodness sake, let
them pass out into the oblivion they
deserve. The scores of columns de-
voted to them, their acts and words,
are nauseating, and are apt to act as
an incentive to low -lived persons to
ape their manners and imitate their
shameless lives, Enough, more than
enough ! Let thein pass, and appear
on the public stage never -more.

—It is pleasing to note that with
the return of better financial condi-
tions, the revenue of the Dominion is
increasing, but unfortunately, it is
equally true that our expenditure is
.increasing even more rapidly. so our
debt continues to pile up. One third
of the financial year is gone, April,
May, June and Jtily, and for these
four months the revenue amounted to
over thirty million dollars. For the
month of July, the revenue was $8,-
437,438 ; the ordinary expenditure was
$11,008,870, an increase of $14.11,510;
capital expenditure for the month was
$2,414,922, a decrease of $209,580, as
compared with July, 1908, On July
31st the net debt of the Dominion was
$320,637,590, an increase of $5,051,324
during the month. -
—Among the most revolting moral
conditions imaginable in a so-called
Christian country, are those revealed
last week in Northern Ontario, where
a well-to-do farmer with a wife and
grown up family, has been shown to
be guilty of incest with three of his
daughters. One of them scarcely fif-
teen years of age was a mother a year
ago, and two older ones, within •a
week of each other gave birth to chit,
dren, and these two babes, the man's'
wife smothered between mattresses,
in order to shield her husband's awful
crime. It is difficult to conceive of
conditions more disgusting. Such
crimes committed within the pale of
civilization, and not so far removed
from Christian influences (though in a
back settlement) could scarcely be sur-
passed in the heart of a heathen coun-
try. The fects show to what an awful
depth of degradation, it is possible for
human nature to sink, when unre-
strained passion has sway.

• —Canada has its' drawbacks, it is
true, but after all, it is one of the best
countries in the world to live in. We
have a long and sometimes severe
winter, but as a rule, it is healthy and
bracing.' We would not care to live
either in Asia, Africa or South Ameri-
ca, and in many countries, even of
Europe, :social conditions are not de
sirable. Russia has not constitutional
liberty, Turkey is intolerable, France
Is unsettled at times, and its political
conditions are liable to upheaval at
any time, while Germany is burdened
with militarism. Even our own mo-
therland has its disadvantages, in that
the poor are very poor, and the rich
are largely nobility. We know of no
land, where the poor man, or the mac
in ordinary circumstances has a better
chance to better his financial condi-
-tion, than in Canada. The next best
place would be in some parts of the
United States; and if we wanted to
choose a climate alone, we should pre-
fer Southern California. And yet
some parts of our own British Colum-
bia have a most delightful climate,
with desirable opportunities of im-
provinglin
conditions. Take it
uncial
all round, there are few better places
for the man of ordinary, humble life,
than our own fair Canada.
WINaHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1909.
WINGNAM NIGH SCHOOL,
Fifty-TwoCandidates. Passed The De.
partmental Examinations.
Errors in names in the lists pub,
fished in the daily papers, did Wing
ham high School en injustice, The
correct results .are :—
Nontr.. &CIIoOL ENTRANCE.
Twenty-two candidatesadvised to
write ; all passed.
JUNIOR MATRICULATION,
Fifteen candidates advised to write;
all passed.
SENIOR TEetcIIETss.
In this examination, fourteen were
successful.
HONOR 11 r.1TRTCULATION.
One candidate advised to write,
Seale Cruikshank, who passed, tak-
ing third-class honors in Latin,
The corrections in the lists and cer-
tificates received by the candidates
show that the results' of the examina-
tions are even more favorable than
was reported. Mabel McDonald pass-
ed the Junior Leaving, so did Mae
Williamson (with honors); Rich. Lloyd
and Greta Kennedy passed the Junior
Matriculation, but two of these names
were given incorrectly in the daily
papers, and two others were omitted.
So that Wingham High School passed
fifty-two candidates in the various
departmental examinations.
This is an excellent showing for
Wingham High School, more espe-
cially when the examinations were so
difficult.
•
--Both Conservatives and Liberals
must admit that the Ontario Govern-
ment is making an honest effort to
enforce the law relating to Temper-
ance,
With the large number
ber of
places under Local Option, the task is
notItn easy one, and besides, it is cost-
ly. So long as there is not too large'
an extent of territory to cover, those
inclined to disregard law can be dealt
With, but there Is a possibility of en-
larging the territory too rapidly, so
that enforcement may be exceedingly
difficult, and the Department be han-
▪ dicapped in its efforts. Some object
to the methods in use, chief of which
is the employment of detectives. This
is an objectionable phase, but appears
to be the only meads available. Law
must be observed. It is not a ques-
tion as to 'Whether this man or the
other roan approves of the law in the
case, The question of law enforce-
trent has a far wider aspect than any
individeaI case. It is a matter in
'which the entire community, indeed
the whole nation Is concerned. leer
where law is disregarded and openly
violated, lawlessness is the result, and
that implies national deterioration
ttnd sreakness. In this connection,
we notice that the provincial license
department has given Instructions
that the licenses of all liquor dealers.

Pretty August Wedding.
(Teeswater News.)
An event that excited much interest
in local' circles occurred at Alpha
Lodge, Brownlee St., the home of Mr.
and Mrs. R. J. Mann, on Tuesday at
high noon. This was the marriage of
their only daughter, Minnie Merle, to
Mr. A. M. Robinson, manager of the
local Bank of Hamilton. Rev. R.
Smith Baker officiated, the bridal pair
standing in the bow window of the
drawing room which was banked with
ferns and palms. About thirty-five
guests were present, all near relations
of the bride and groom. The bride
was ..given away by. her father and
was unattended. She carried a beau-
tiful shower bouquet of roses ;and
fillies of the valley, and wore a gown
of ivory duchess satin with yoke of
bebe Irish lace. I-Ier only ornament
was a diamond and pearl necklace, a
gift from the groom. The wedding
march was played by Miss Libby His -
cocks. She received from the groom
a pretty ,pearl crescent, A very pret-
ty effect was given the whole by the
room being darkened, and lighted by
electricity.
After luncheon, Mr. and Mrs. Rob-
inson took 'the train for Toronto.
They wills end a coule of
weekscon
a trip down the St. Lawrence, visiting
New York and Boston before they re-
turn. The bride's travelling dress
was of navy taffeta with violet hat to
match. On their return Mr. and Mrs.
Robinson will reside on Brownlee
street.
FIVE SUCCESSFUL YEARS.
For almost five years the Wingham
Business College has been training
young ladies and gentlemen for a
!easiness life. Ex -students are to be
found holding Ieading positions
throughout Canada and 'United States.
Many young ladies, who had not even
passed the Entrance, have earned 8000
the first year, and scores, after a few
years' experience, are earning from
$900 to $1500.
Any interested one by writing to
the College, will receive full informa-
tion as to why other colleges engage
our graduates as teachers, also the ad-
vantage of being a graduate of Cana-
da's Greatest Chain of High-grade
Actual Business Schools.
Any young lady can learn steno-
graphy in six months and save enough
from her earnings of the next six
months to pay for her course. Every
graduate stenographer is guaranteed
a good position within ten days of
graduation, . The College reopens on
August 30th. Students who cannot
attend, may earn while they learn, by
means of Mail Courses.
A GREAT SCHOOL.
Wingham -Tax Roll.
Town Clerk Ferguson has the Col.
lector's roll ready for the Collector of
taxes, and Mr, Griffin intends to lose
no time in making out the schedules.
The tax roll this year showsas
follows :-.-.
Ordinary taxes $19,353.80
Local improvements... „ 2,350.89
The Elliott Business College of To-
ronto is well-known throughout Ca-
nada for its superior lvork. The Prltz-
cipal, Me..i. Bi iott, invites ell desir-
ing a first-class business or shorthand
education to write for free cataloguer
The present year has been the lust
suceesafut in the history of the col-
lege.
Total on roll. , ,$21,710,10
On taxes paid on or before Septem-
ber 15th, there will be one and a half
per cent, reduction ; on taxes paid. be-
tween September 15th and October
15th, one per Gent. off ; on taxes paid
between October 15th and November
15th, one half of one per cent. After
November 15th, no reduction is al-
lowed, and to those unpaid on Decem-
ber 15th, five per cent.. will be added.
Mr, Griffin should make an excellent
Collectt}ur. Taxes may be paid into
either of the chartered Banks in town.
Wingham is probably at its height of
taxation, and yet is lower than some
other towns. In three years, the local
improvement on front street will be
paid, and in five years a large amount
on other streets. The Sinking funds
are also being paid 'yearly, so that in a
very short a iine there will be a much
larger amount of money available for
Town requirements, without paying
any more taxes than are paid at pres-
ent. The town is in very good condi-
tion financially. Those inclined tribe
pessimistic regarding the future
should look for the bright side.
Seagram Trophy In Wingham.
For the first time, the Seagram Tro-
phy for the Berlin Bowling Tourna-
ment has come to Wingham, and the
rink who secured the coveted prize
may be pardoned for feeling elated
over their success. The victory is all
the more marked beca'tse of the close
competition caused by the presence of
seventy-three rinks from among the
best Bowlers of the province. The
Trophy is a handsome piece of silver,
and may be seen in the window of A.
til. Crawford, one of the winning rink.
Besides the Trophy, each member of
the champion rink looks fondly on a
silver shield, on a walnut background,
as a memento L the famous victory.
The rink was composed of C. Dallas,
13. Cochrane, A. E. Porter, with A. M.
Crawford as skip. Besides being a
matter of congratulation to the win-
ners, the Trophy coming to Wingham
is an advertisement for our town
throughout the province, and is a
distinction 'many larger places would
have been pleased to enjoy. The Tro-
phy is valued at $250, and each shield
at $50. The city of Guelph held the
Trophy last year.

An August Wedding.
On Wednesday of this week, at one
p. ni., a" pretty wedding was the at-
traction at the residence of Mr. S.
Bennett of town, when his neice,
Mary Elsie, youngest daughter of Dir.
and Mrs. Thos. Bennett of Wingham,
became the bride of Mr. Geo, D. Miller
of Detroit. Little Carrie Hingston
was the pretty ring -bearer, and Miss
Jeanette Simpson played the wedding
march. Rev. Geo. Jewett of West -
Minster performed the wedding cere-
mony, The groom's gift to the pianist
was a brooch set with pearls, to the
ringbearer, a locket and chain, and to
the bride a brooch set with pearls,
The bride was dressed in pale green
chiffon silk, trimmed with point
d'esprit, and her travelling costume
was of•brown chiffon broadcloth, with
white hat. A. handsome array of
presents indicated esteem and kind
wishes. After an exceIIent wedding
dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Miller left,by the
3.30 train for their home in Detroit.
Regarding D:. Lougheed.
There is very little change reported
in the condition of David Lougheed
(formerly of town) who was so seri-
ously injured a few weeks ago at Re-
gina, However, what little change
there is appears to be favorable. His
physician thought he noticed some
indication of life in the lower part of
his body, which has been paralyzed
since the injury. It was intended to
bring him home, but more recently it
was decided to watch the case care-
fully) little longer before removing
him( Dr. Redmond will see him while
he is in the West, and the question of
bringing the injured man bomb will
then be decided. Mr. Lbugheed's
Wingham friends will be much pleas -
e4 to heier of any improvement in his
eonditiatl, '

Died In The West.
Many will remember Miss Lizzie
Reid, who made her home with Mr.
S. Burchall, and who was married a
little over a year ago to Geo. Coulter
of Whitechurch. Mr. and Mrs. Coul-
ter went West soon after their mar-
riage. Word was received this week
that Mrs. Coulter died at her home
in Griswold, Man., on August 14th.
The remains were brought to Wing -
ham, and interred in Wingham ceme-
tery, the funeral taking place on
Wednesdayfrom the residence of Mr.
nc
Birchall. Mrs. Coulter was 28 years
of age, and leaves a child only a few
weeks old. Great sympathy is felt for
the bereaved husband.
Now Here's The Latest.
The following was not invented by
the editor, but is told by a presum-
ably truthful man, and we give it as
we received it :—A resident of the B
line went out fishing recently, and
hooked on to a big fish. He worked
for some time, -but failed to land it, so
he e.ied the line fast to a stump, and
went for help. When he returned, the
fish was gone, and so was the stump.
Now these monsters of the Maitland
are getting altogether too frisky,•and
the next thing we expect to hear is,
that some of these "big" fellows have
run off with one of the river banks, or
a cement pier fropt one of the bridges.
Such fish ought to be punished.

ing the timber of the old bridge across
the Maitland River at Holmesville,
Hiram Sturdy, clerk of Godericb Tp.,
fell on his head, and sustained injuries
from which he died in a few hours.
Sturdy and Tibtlette had bought part
of the ()Id bridge for the timber, and
were removing the top rail, when the
plank on which Sturdy was standing
broke, and he fell to the platform of
the bridge, and then into the river,
striking a largo stick of timber in fall-
ing. Ile was removed from the water
in an umiconscions condition, and
taken in an auto to Clinton Hospital
Mr. Sturdy has one of the finest farm

Lively Runaway.
Mr, Maleolm's delivery horse does
not fear meeting an automobile, but
he is very much afraid of the noise
made by some of the horns. On Wed-
nesday last, Basil Blackball was driv-
ing the horse and waggon down Pat-
rick street, when some boy or boys
blew an auto horn behind the rig.
This so frightened the horse, that the
boy driver lost control, and the horse
ran away. Basil was thrown out and
stunned by falling upon his head.
He was carried into Dr. Kennedy's
office and received attention. The
waggon struck a shade tree and the
front half was badly wrecked. The
driver felt the effects of the fall for a
few days, and those who witnessed
the accident say, that it is a wonder
he was not much more seriously in-
jured.

Lacrosse Game.
On Friday last, on the Town park,
there was a game of Lacrosse between
Wingham ' and Kincardine. The
game was lively and clean, but for the
first half rather ane sided, for at the
beginning of the fourth quarter, the
score stood 7 to 1 in favor of Kincar-
dine. In the fourth quarter, Wing -
ham boys were more fortunate and
scored five goals, while their oppon-
ents only sent one to the net, closing
the game by a score of 8 to 8 in favor
of the visitors. There was a good at-
tendance of spectators, but unfortun-
ately for the finances of the boys, a
large number were content to witness
the game from outside the canvas.
The result was that the home boys
suffered a deficit. Wingham line-up
was as follows :—Goal, J. McGilliv-
ray ; Point, D. Rose; Cover Point,

ney, 3. E. McGuire, John Han-
