The Wingham Advance, 1913-11-27, Page 142ND TEAR, N0. 12, r The Allingham A dvance. • EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. —Liberal jubilation over the reported illness of the Prime Minister is really an unintended tribute to Mr. Barden. A R R —Ah, yes, Ontario is just learning to get into the Liberal column, as witness the recent votes East Yorlc, East Middle- sex, North Grey, Peel, Muskoka, etc. —Sir Wilfrid Laurier, during the whole of his political career, has been conspicu- ous for the wide variance between his words and his actions, his promises and his deeds. He has always been fond of making eloquent and high sounding declarations upon political issues, bnt seldom did his professions and his conduct correspond. In short, he has been an out and out opportunist, willing to em- brace any doctrine that might help to keep him in power. The carrying out of promises and pledges concerned him little. In 1890 he came into power an ardent Free Trader, but quickly developed into a strong Protectionist, knowing well the utter futility of his Free Trade professions. In Opposition, Laurier pledged his party to a reduction of the National Debt During the last four years of the Liberal administration the public debt was in- creased by the enormous sum of $76,000,000. He has always boasted that he and his party were sincere friends of the farmer, yet, at his direct dictation the Liberal Senate Last session killed the Good Roads .49 Bill, the most beneficial measure, in so far as the Canadian farmer is concerned, ever introduced in the House of Com- mons. Of his professed loyalty to Britain, Canadians have heard much. This • •was one of his star boasts. Yet he has deliber- ately and defiantly blocked any assistance to the Empire at this a time of actual need. To -day he lifts his hands in well feigned horror at the alleged electoral corruption of the Conservative party, yet the notori- ous election scandals which were per- petrated during the Liberal regime were always strongly defended by him. It may not be agreeable to Sir Wilfrid, but the name given him by a leading English paper of "Mr. Facing -Both - Ways" is very apropos. .s —Policy sits above conscience with the Toronto "Globe" every time it concerns itself with politics. Though edited by a "clerical gentleman," it never is the least bit squeamish about telling deliberate falsehoods about the present government, and has, in fact, a peculiar talent for their invention. Anything is legitimate with the "Globe" and its editor so long as it libels Mr. Borden and his colleagues. For pure unadulterated hypocrisy and smug self-righteousness an editorial head- ed, "What Makes Canadians Ashamed," appearing in a recent issue, could not be equalled. As usual, a dirty little crack is taken at Mr. Borden in the statement : "The level of the average chancery law- yer is his height." Three-quarters of a column of verbal hysteria is indulged 'in by the "Globe" over the mere fact that the government has seen fit to dismiss a postmaster in Seaforth, Ont., whose length of service and the growth of the postal business at that place made it im- perative to appoint a younger man. This ,incident causes the "Globe" to declare in a voice vibrant with a frenzies indignation well assumed : "It is the pettiness of the Borden government, the mean and ignoble things it does that disgusts self- respecting Canadians and makes them ashamed." In the same breath the insipid slur upon . i,1r. Borden, quoted above, is uttered. How super -sensitive the political con- science of the "Globe" and its pious edi- tor have become of late ! It is not on re- cord that the "Globe" ever blushed with shame at •any of the numerous scandals which disgraced the Laurier administra• tion, and whose record of graft and cor- ruption is absolutely unparalleled in Ca- nadian history. Did the "Globe" ever feel ashamed of :— Saskatchewan land deals of 100.2, when 250,000 acres of choice land set a- side for homesteads were sold by the gov- ennment to members and friends for a dollar an acre with five years' credit. Those speculators made a million and three-quarters out of the deal. The North Atlantic Trading Company, the worst immigration contract ever de- vised, whereby $300,000 was paid to per- sons having suspicious relations with Dominion officials. Government wharves, wherein wharves were built where there was neither water nor business. The Mgrine and Fisheries scandal of 1000, when it was shown that hundreds of thousands of dollars were paid to a foreign middleman, and 187 per cent pro- fit made on common merchandise sold to the Department. The "Monteahn" and the "Arctic," two government ice -breakers, equipped as lavishly as a Sultan's palace. The Timber Limit scandal, wherein it was shown that a brother-in-law of one. of l.aurieets cabinet ilfinistcrs secured 305,- 020 acres on the most favourable terms. The Grazing Lase scandal, whereby nine favoured seen ,got 371,719 acres of grazing land under irrevocable twenty-one year leases not available to others. Fake Homesteading, whereby mil:iota �t notorious Yukon scandal, The Moncton Land Deal a record of a 107% rake-off, The "Thin Red Line" scandal, wherein the Manitoba electoral lists were mutilat- ed and 0,899 names erased in seven ridings, The Brockville and West Huron election frauds. The Robbins Irrigation Deal, whereby a profit of $1,145,000 was divided amongst middlemen. The Blairmore Townsite, worth $200,- 000, but purchased from the government for $430. And scores of other similar transactions. It is not on record that the "Globe" was ashamed of these. Universal Bible Sunday. The idea of a universal Bible Sunday is that on one and the same day throughout the whole Christian world the Holy Scriptures shall be the spec- ial consideration, not only in the Chur- ches and Sunday Schools and where - ever people congregate, but in the press, and that each recurring anniver- saryshall be the accession for reveiw- ing the position of the Bible in the world, the progress of the circulation and translation into the various lan• guages, and its relation to all condit- ions of national and individual life. In such annual review the discoveries which are every year throwing some new light on the records of Holy Writ can be laid before the people so that the Word of God may be more deeply studied as its truth is more clearly attested to the intelligence of mar. - kind. The observance of a Bible Sunday has already made substantial progress in various parts of the world. It has been observed for some years spora- dically in Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Australasia, South - Africa and in the mission churches of North Africa. It has been established in places in China, while in Korea it is celebrated on a national scale, and was last year made the occasion of general thanksgiving to commemorate the completion of the Bible in the Korean language. In parts of India it bas be- come an important annual event, and in a number of cases the Hindoos and Mohammedans -join tho Christiana in paying honor to the Bible and its teaching'. These observances have taken place at various times of the year, and what is now wanted is to co-ordinate them into a common date, so that Cht•istians everywhere may one in this as they are in the celebration of Christmas. The churches of New York have for some years had aible Day on the first Sunday in ecember. In a cycle of seven years this would fall four times on the second Sunday in Advent (the third S.rnday before Christmas) on which the Episcopal Church of the lfuited Sates, and the Anglican Caurch throughout the British Empire, specially refer to the Holy Sctiptures, Such a conjunction with an already widely recognized anniversary seems to make this an appropriate time for the annual re• view of the Bible, and this date does not coufiict with any generally estab- lished anniversary of other bodies of Christiane. The third Sunday before Christmas falls this year on the 7th of December. Let us therefore join on that date in exalting the Word of Ged. ar Masons Contribute $1,000 M. W. Bro. W. D. McPherson, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Canada, on behalf "of the Grand Ma- sonic Lodge, has contributed $1,000 to the fund for the relief of the depen- dents and relatives of the lake victims in the recent storm on the'grcat lakes. The following letter from the Grand Master speaks for itself :— Toronto, Nov. 22. H. H. Gildersleeve, Et.q. Treasurer Great Lakes Disaster Fund of Do- minion Marine Association, Toronto. Dear Sir.—On behalf of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Pree and Accepted Masons of Canada in the province of Coterie, I herewith band you the sum of one thousand dollars as a contribu- tion to the relief fudd for the depen- dents of those whose lives were lost in the recent terrific storm on the Great Lukes, Tnis subscription is unconditional and for use as your committee may deem advisable, and is c qually applic- able to these whose relatives were not Masons as to thoee who were, for our charity knows no bounds, attd I can assure you that without exception, every member of our Order moat deep- ly sympathizes with those who mourn their loved ones, and we trust that the efforts (.f your committee may meet with a most hearty and generous re- epont e from all sections of the country.." Yours sincerely, Wm. David McPherson, Grand Master, _1_ Social Evening. The Sewing League in connection' with the Salvation Array purpose holding a Sale of Work en Thursday' of taste week. An exoolient programme I .> ^ 1 , ,.� it pl+e it • nins WINGHAM, ONT., `1.H. U ESD.A.Y, N O VEM BER 27, 1913, Young Men's Association. On Thursday evening of last week an exceptionally good number of young men attended the meeting held in the Council Chamber. Mr, G. R. Smith, Mathematical Master of the High School was elected Chairman and Mr. N. T. Sinclair, Sec. Treas. of the West- ern Foundry was appointed Secretary of the meeting. Ail who snake ex- pressed themselves as favorable to the formation of some. Young Men's As- sociation where the four fold nature of young men might, be developed, viz, the social, physical, intellectual and moral. It was moved and carried that Messrs Sinclair, Smith and Principal Posliff be a com mittee with power to add to their number, to draw up a working constitution and report at a future meeting. It was thought well by all those present to have the athle- tics of the town managed by some such central organization and the dif- ferent associations will be invited to concur. It was a most enthusiastic meeting throughout and the organiza- tion will no doubt be a grand success and productive of much good in the development of young manhood. The Committee has been at work among the societies and men of the town and report as follows :—The gen- eral feeling is that on association of the kind suggested would be an excel- lent thing if details could be arranged to suit the majority. Some difficulties however have been met and to over- come them the committee, as it was empowered to do has chosen some other representative men to meet with it so that details may be more thoroughly discussed. A general meet- ing will be called by this committee at some date soon, not yet chosen, eo watch for further notices. Meanwhile if you are approached concerning your attitude on the formation of the as- ' sociation state such as frankly as pos- sible and also turn out to the general meeting when called so that you may know exactly how the formation is made, if carried out Communication. Editor of Advance DEAR SIR :—As we look upon you as an encyclopedia of knowledge, would you kindly tell us whether you think that geese, turkeys, chickens and ducks have any feelings ? Those who are putting twelve in a crate only big enough for eight do not think so. Those who throw them upon the station platforms, and again into the cars, as they would refuse for the pile, they do not. The other day they were shipping at the G. T. R. when in one crate a chicken lay dead in the bottom (crowded to death) and I have repeat- edly seen the crates so crowded that many birds would be standing on the top of othere. Now, Sir, is this hum- ane?' Is this just ? Has not the fowl as much feeling as the horse? And are we j ratifiable in making the last 24 hens of their short life, one of cont'. 'runs agony. Starved, famished for •..v &ter, and bruised, they at last revel the end of their journey, where t `+ y are slaughtered, in order that we tee sc-called humane creatures of Go3's creation can eat and be satis fled, In anticipation, would thank you for space given as would also the most abused of all God's creatures, ducks, geese, turkeys and hens.

Citizens' Band in attendance. Admission 25e. Reserved seats 35e, Carnegie Library. The lawn of Walkerton is just con - plating a Carnegie Library, which is a thing of beauty and will no doubt be a great stimulus to reading, hence, an untold benefit to the town. Wing ham has been slow In this matter, and ie about the only town, in thss•3 C.sud. ties, of 1550 or m are p hputatioh th Y, has not secured one. The Council of 1010 is wholly to blame in thus matter as the council of 1009 pr,§sed a reso'.0 tion, in Spite of opposition, to agree to conditions.

F, Herman, Inspector of the Talbot Street pavement, stated that owing to feast, defective work or unproper mix- ture twenty-three blocks had been condemned and that the road could not be opened until the Engineer and Contractors agreed to the acceptance of the job.

Following are the figures :—Commis- sioners, 25; Associations, 141 ; Scout Masters, 256; Assistant Scout Masters, 211; Scouts, 7,065; total 7,728. Fined for Being Drunk. On Saturday evening about 8 o'clock Provincial Officer Phippen was inform- ed that and accident had happened in Lower Wingham, and upon investiga- found Sarn Garbutt lying on roadside dead drunk, with his face downward. The horse was lying near by with the rig overturned. The officer secured another rig and took Garbutt to the town lock-up and charged him with being drunk in local option district. I3e appeared before Police Magistrate Morton on Monday, pleaded guitly and was fined $30, and $5 costs. Loyal True Blues. A most enjoyable and profitable evening was spent in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening, when the Loyal True Blue Lodge held a successful box social. A good pro- gramme was rendered consisting of recitations by Miss Nora V encamp of Belgrave, Miss Maude Fleuty and Mr. H. Jobb, solos with banjo accompani• ment by Miss Jarvis, comic songs by F. Fuller, cornet solos by Bandmaster Hinkley, an excellent dialogue by three young ladies and addresses by Reeve McKibben and Mayor Spotton. The feature of the evening was an able and inspiring address by Grand Master Newman of Toronto who outlined the work of the association in establishing and maintaining an O: ph mage at Picton, Ont. The place is well situat- ed with one hundred acres of land running down to the lake or bay shore, where the children have the advant- ages of the beach and any protestant orphan child is welcome thereto. The Rev. Mres0roly acted as chairman in his usual happy and efficient manner. After the programme Mr. A. Coutts mounted the rostrum and auctioned off the boxes, one young man paying $2.30 for one box. The evening was a grand emcees and closed with singing God save the King. The proceeds amounted to about $35 00. Norio Huron Telephone Co., The annual meeting of the share- holders of the North Huron Telephone Co., was held in the Council Chamber on Wednesday afternoon of last week. The reports presented showed that the Company closed operations on the30th of September, 1009, with 53 telephones . it ase and on the 30th of September thio year there were 428 telephones in nee. The Company is operating on 334 miles of wire and has 135 miles of pole line. The Board of Directors composed of the following : W. J, Greer, Wingham; H, T. Thomson. Balmore ; John Webster, Fordyce ; George Thomson, Goderich ; and Wm. Maxwell, L'amington, were re elecvd. At the close of the annual meeting the Directors met the re-elected lir. W. J. Greer as President and Mr. I3. T, Thomson as Vice President. Mr. II B. Elliott was re-engaged as Secretary Treasurer. The question of increas- ing the rental of telephones was dis- cussed, but action was deferred for another year. A number of telephon- es companies in Ontario are finding their rates too low in view of the in. creased cost of maintaining the lines. Last year was a successful one for the North Baron Company. The Com- ptny now has liabilities to the public of only some $2,000.00, and has be cepa tel stock of 20,000, all of which is fully pitd up. It was thought well to forgo it dividend this year so as to clear the Company of its liabilit es. Sttb3erb%. ere have it in their power to assiet thin management in preventing an incresse in rates. The lines are so much u ed free by non -subscribers who do not ply a farthing tbwarde the up keep of the -system, Subscribers should not allow their telephones to be need by non subscribers unless the mutat fee is c 'fleeted. It proper fees were collect. ed from nova -subscribers thie revenue wermld Kos tong wale in paying for the Club Rates. The Advance clubs with any paper or magazine, The Advance and Daily Mail or Globe for $3,50, The Advance and Canadian Countryman $1.50, etc. Ask for rates. Pura Out Of Season. A large quantity of furs ware seized on Faiday last by Provincial Deputy Game.and Fish Warden W. B. Elliott accompanied by Provincial Constable Phippen, who visited the fur dealers at Lucknow and secured one hundred and sixty-four peltries on the premise§ of Harry Goodman, a Hebrew. The goods were at once seized and removed The hearing will be before R. Graham J. P., on Thursday next at Lucknow, The above furs were out of season. Two other houses and store belonging to a Jew, also the boarding house of a Jew, were searched but nothing found. Kindergarten. Surely a town of the status of Wing - ham should have a Kindergarten. It is agreed by all edgcationists that the first years of a child's life are the most important and the foundation of the educational structure to be erected should not be neglected. The young child should play into work, in fact, the transition from play to work should not be perceptible. When our Board of Education is regularly in- stalled and they scan the educational chain, link by link, we are confident that the little ones will be cared for and consequently get,the proper start which is all important. Up.To.Date Bakery. Mr. F. Carter has recently installed another new bread machine, which is of the most tnodern type, It actually shapes the dough into loaves, conse- quently it is a more sanitary and better way than the old way of mixing by hand. Mr. Carter now has a com- plete, mgdern equipped bakery. `. From the time the flour leaves the sack till the bread is placed on the cooling rack, it is handled as little as possible. He has also introduced a new sanitary bread ticket system whereby every ticket is destroyed after once used. The bakery is absolutely clean and sanitary, the best of materials are used, consequently a pure, wholesome loaf is assured. Synopsis of Box and Cox. Don't fail to -hear Box and Cox. This is a romance in real life, rn nee act, by J. Maddison Morton. Char- acters—Box, a printer ; Cox, a hat - maker ; Mrs. Bouncer, a Iadylady. The landlady gets double rent for the room by letting it to Box in the day and. Cox at night. When they meet there's trouble, especially as they find they both are engaged to the same widow. and neither wants to marry her, See finally sends word she will marry Mr. Knox. The fun never stops it is one laugh from beginning to end. . Probably the most popular farce ever written.

"in the year that king tzziala died 1 raw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, aiad RI* twain Sled Call to Service," The prophet had (1) A vision of holiness or Jehovah, (2) A vision of sin or the world. (3) A Call to Service. The preacher emphasized the need of having the vision. He also spoke of the Church's call to service in all different departments of her work. In the evening the text was 1 Corinthians 4:2. "Moreover it is re- quired in stewards that a man be found faithful," from which a most eloquent and practical discourse was given. Mr, McGregor also addressed the Young People's Bible Class and Sab- bath School in the afternoon. Mr, Mo. Gregor's services were most highly appreciated by all who were present. ()L soca 'hems Christmas day is only four weeks from today (Thursday). The pessimist's idea of a good time is to sit down and think about the good times he might have had.
