VV NOTES. AND COMMENTS,
At else Liberal convention at Brussels on
on Tuesday-, • Mr. W. R. Kerr, of the t3russe's
Piet was unanimously nominated as the can-
didate for the Ontai:io Legislature for East
Huron. We heartily congratulate Brer $err
on receiving the nomination end feel sure he
will have no trouble in keeping East Enron in
the Lthoral columa. Further particulars as to
the convention and candidate are held ever
r until our next issue.
r The story of Canada's timber wealth is
a w uderful tale. Two thousand miles
'• long is its field of uncut timber compris-
ing 1,500,000,000 acres divided into three
great baits. To put it briefly —according
X to Dominion anthoritiss--Canada'atimb
er area is four times greater than the
timber area of the United States, three
times greater than the timber area of
guttas, twice as great as the timber area
of all Europe. And this source of wealth
lit praoticady untapped.
- The three prairie provinces have al-
most doubled their population in five
years. The oftioial figures are as fol.

.tlir.. W. K. MoNaught, til. P.P., thinks
the Toronto press is saying too trench in
connection with the liaease investiga-
tion now being heldin that city. 'Che
Globe Comes out and says:--" We oan say
to the member for North Toronto that
the.newepapermen of the city care very
little for the "interests" which to the
politician seem so sacred. We have had
enough of standing by the "interests" of
thiel or that clique of politicians. What
is needed is an honest and thorough in-
veetigation, and all this "insinuation"
about things as they were under "the
Ross Ministry" is irrelevant and incon-
seguent bluff. Tarn on the light every.
'ts•liere• .. .
During debate in the foase of Wm -
teens an incidental reference was mad e
to Mr. Fowler's connection with the deal,
exposed dnriug the investigatiou by the
Insurance Commission, by certain mem-
berg of Parliament in railway lands in
the.Northwest. Mr. Fowler, angered
by what had been said, declared thatif
his private affairs were not left alone he
would expose the connection of mem-
bers on the Government side with wo-
men, wine, and graft. We can heartily
endorse the Listowel Banner when it
says : —" We by no means agree with the
doctrine that the private life of a public
Stank is of no public concern. A man
who is dishon est or unmoral in private
life is not worthy of public trust. We
cannot separate our judgment of a man's
character into two separate parte; ' if he
ie nutrnstworthy in his private affairs
few will be found willing to trust him
with public affairs. Men who ask public
confi.ienoe should be worthy of it, both
in pnblto and in private. flat any man
who will repeat private scandal, who
Will blacken a man's oharaoter and not
be able to grove his charge or wittitij, to
drive it home, is a man who is not lit for
association with docent fellow beings
If the things Mr. Fowler said are true
it is time we fel know it and the guilty
ones, no matter who they are or what
their position. are driven from pubi c
life If Mr, Fowler wore merely. trying
to cover np his own wrong•doiug by the
repetition of baseless scandal, that is
double reason for his own retirement "

the members present.
A. communication was read from the
Trea,snr'y department, enclosing a.

the railway taxation, after deduction
of cost of supporting insane persons,
for whose support the province has re-
ceived less then $1.50 per week. Fol.
lowing is the statement enclosed ;—

tion $101 36

The committee recommended pay-
ment of the above accounts.
D. M. Gordon, Chairman.
Nicholson—McDonald—That the re-
port of the Finance committee be
adopted—carried.
The Electric Light .accounts, amount-
ing to $426.04, were laid on the table,
recommended for payment by the Fi-
nance committee.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT.
The Executive Committee recom-
nl,ended as follows :-
1 -4 -That any transient trader having
paid the fee of $50, after• paying two
years' taxes, • and being still a rate-
payer. shall have the balance of the
fee refuuded him.
2—That we find that the Council of
1900 sanctioned extensive improve -
meats in the electric light plant, and
that $1,850 of the cost is still unpaid ;
also that the revenue was $400 less
than in 1905 ; therefore it is necessary
to practice rigid economy to make the -
revenue meet the indebtedness and
necessary expenditure. We recom-
mend that the Town do the wiring.
installing, repairing, supplying of
lamps, futures, etc. That the Town
buy ail material wholesale or from
manufacturers, at lowest cost. That
three 'ren giving all their time to the
corporation is a'surneient number to
inn the plaint, except on special occa-
sions. That this will materially lessen
expense and increase the revenue.
SIGNED.
On motion of Cnune. Gordon and
Nicholson, the report of the Exe.cutivc
committee was adopted in full.
Bell—Gregory—That a cheque in
payment of water -twain pipes be issued
as soon as the chairman certifies that
the weight of- the pipes received is
correct—carried. _
The Hospital Concert committee, re-
presented by Messrs. Greer and Ken-
nedy, :asked that the Council grant the
Hall=tree for the concerts in aid of the
Hospital, seeing that it was a laudable
object, and the Hall was so cold that
it interfered with the receipts... .
Irwin—Nicholson--That the Town
Hall be granted free of charge to the
Hospital Concert committee, as the
proceeds were in aid of Winghatn
Hospital.
Coun. Gordon asked for explanation
regarding rumors. Mr. Greer gave a
most satisfactory explanation. The
motion was then put and carried.
By-law No. 362, for appointment
of officers of Council, was read three
times and passed, on motion of Bell
and Nicholson.
Bell—Nicholson—That Dr. T. �� ilsori
be allowed to remove his office across
the street (while his block is being
built), provided he removes it from
front street fire Limits within six
months—carried.
McDonald-- Irwin — That $400 be
placed to the credit of the Public
School Board, and 3500 to the credit
of the High School Board for main-
tenance—carried.
Gordon—Kerr—That the question of
the desirability of having a formal
opening of the new post -office be re-
ferred to n committee, cousistin$ of
Reeve Irwin, Couns. Nicholson, herr,
Gordon and Gregory—carried; com-
mittee to report at next meeting.

of these pills lies in the fact that they

the symptoms of a trouble—and natty re-

liams' Pink Pills make new, rich blood—
that is why they cure dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, anaemia, heart palpitation,
headache, backache and the ills of wo-
men : all of these are caused by bad
blood—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure
them all because they make new blood.
