Glengarry , Conservatives

On Tuesday of this week took place the annual meeting of the Liberal-Con- servative Association of Glengarry at the Town Hall here. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather and the fact that seed'ing is pretty general tliroughout the County, the meeting was one of the most representative which the Association has ever held. At the morning meeting called for the transaction of business the retiring president Mr. J. A. Macdonell, K.C., of Alexandria, who for so many years has l>een the mainstay of the party in Glengarry, hande<l . in his resignation

^ J from the leadership. The resignation Maxville, ünt. 1 accepted with great reluctance as

those present were thoroughly convinced that it would be difficult to find anyone to take his place who would enter upon the duties wdth the same wholehearted and unselfish epthusiaem

i as Mr. Macdonell. As a slight token of : appreciation a rôlution was propos- i ed and carried unanimously to make ■ Mr. Maodonell Honorary President of j the Association. The election of offii- I cers resulted as follo^vs President, D. i R. McDonald, ex-M.P.P.,Alexandria; 1st j Vice Pres., J. A. McGillivray, Kirk Hill 2nd' Vice Pres., A. J.

After a few well chosen remarks a vote of condolence was passed directed to Mrs. J. F. McGregor of this place expressive of the high esteem in which

I the late Mr. McGregor was held by the a Conservative party in Glengarry and I of the sympathy which all felt towards ^ Mrs. McGregor in her sad befreavement.

' The piiMic siieeting commenced short-, ly after 2 p.m. Mr. D. R. McDonald, the newlv elected president was in the

iohair, while with him on the platform were Mr. J. A. Macdonell K.C., Hon. 'President of the Association, Mr.

^Meighen, M.P., for Portage La Prairie and Mr. Rainville, M.P., for Chambly-

^VercKerret. , The Chairman, in hU opening remarks, convinced all present That their

^ choice of a president had been a most J judicious one. He paid a fitting tui-

bute to Col. D. M. Robertson of To- ^ ronto who put up such a good clean

fight in the last campaign for the Iîslatlve Assembly, and assured him that he would be returned by a sub-

; stantial majority should he desire to [ present himself again here, whether for I the provincial or for the DomSnion . house. I Mr. Meighen followed with a stirrii^

address in which he set forth clearly I'the views of the Government on tlw

Mr. Rainville, the next speaker to address the meeting, won the admiration and appreciation of those present by speaking both in French and in English. The French Canadians of the Provinoe of Quel>ec, he said, were at first oppo.sed not only to the I.rfiur- îer policy regarding naval defence but to the policy of Mr. Borden as well. The reason for opposition was that they thought Mr. Borden wished to inaugurate a permanent policy of contribution. When the French Canadians discovered that the Borden policy was only temporary and intended to help the mother country in her hour of need this opposition ceased and the French fell in line with their fellow-countrymen just, as they did a few years ago when the Canadian contingent® were sent to South Africa. The help we then afforded to Great Britain cost several millions of diollars, but this did not affect our prosperity. On the con- trary Canada rose as a result of this act in the estimation of the wh<4e civilized world. Quebec is jusrt

Reminiscences of Sir George W. Ross

(Toronto Globs.) “Getting Into Parliament and Af-

ter," a book of reminiscences, by Sir George W. Ross, just issued by William Briggs, is one of the most interesting as well as valuable works of the kind ever published in Can- ada. Compared with two of the more recent memoirs, those of Sir Rich- ard Cartwright and Hon. James Young, while it lacks some of the add and sparkle of the former, and is more judicial, it is more (.ntertaining and written with a better literary finish than either.

Sir George Ross has uncommon qualifications for writing such a book.

y question of Canada’s s’hare in tbe de- fenoe of the British Empire. The Gov-

• ernment, he asserted, had received a mandate from the j-veople of Canada to proceed with the Naval Policy ennun- ciated by Mr. Borden in his platform in 1911. The liiberal party had been dêated not only on the Reciprocity issue but on the Naval Policy as well. Though in some parts of the country the main issue was that of reciprocity with the United States, still everyone kne\r the policy of the Idberals and _ that of the Conservaiives on the ‘quee- ’ judgement and tion of Naval Defence and ihey had ■ chosen Têtween them In no uncertain manner. Mr. Borden accepted the mandate of the people and went forward not timidly but firmly. He con- sulted tbe British Admiralty as to the condition of affairs in Europe and on discovering this he moulded his porary policy accordingly. No permanent poliev was imposed on the people of Canada without their mandate. Parliament backed him up in his present policy of contribution as a means of temporarily relieving the Empire. When the I.ibei'als commenced their blockade of the public business Mr. Borden was patient with them, so much 80 in fact as to tax the pat- ience of his followers, but when Ihe limit was reached he acted , with his characteristic firmness. He altered the rules of the House so as to prevent undue interference with the business of the country. Was he not justified in doing so to prevent a loquacious Op- posiLion from defeating the wishes of the people"? The situation in Europe at present is very serious. Germany has risen with marvellous rapidity till now it i« inferior to Great Britain only in two respects viz. shipping and ship- building. In faut so far as land forces are concerned Britain is one of the , weakest of the European Pou:ei:s. Sup- eriority on the seas has become essential to the very existence of the Em- pire. As soon as Britain loses her superiority on the sea the days of the Empire arc numbered. Canada should theîôre be willing to make any sac- rifice which may be required in order to preserve the navïil supremacy of the British Empire. Now the wh-ole ntat- ter is in the hands of the Senate. It is the duty of the Upper House to leave the disposal of the public funds to the representativee of the people. If they reject the Naval Aid Bill they are betraying the confidence w'hich has been - reposed in them and the odium and responsibility incident to disregarding the wishes of the Canadian people will recoil on the heads of the Senate itself.

That a copy of this resolution be on- gi’oesed in triplicate and signed by the preeident and secretary of the association, one of which be presented to Mi:. Maodonell, one to remain on record in the Association and the third be for- warded' to The Right Hon. R. L. Bor- den the leader of the Conservative party.—Carried.

Moved by E. H. Tiffany, seconded by Col. D. M. Roberteon, that this meeting desires to express its entire approbation of the Naval Bill intro- duced' by the Right Hon. R. L. Bor- den, Prime Minister of Canada, and now under consideration by Parlia- ment , under the provisions of which, three super Dreadnoughts of the latest type, the best.that skill can devise and money procure, are to be placed at the disposal of the Mother Country, as the free offering of the people of Canada, to be used by His Majesty’s Govern- ment in such manner and in such place as may best pri^mote the safety of the British Empire, of which the Domimon of Canada forms an integral part of ever increasing distinction, dignity and importance; It being distinctly understood that such action is to be of a temporary character and Is absolutely distinct from jiermanent policy of co- .operation in Imperial defence, which, ( when form'ulated, shall be placed be-’

, fore the people for their consideration approval.

And wê declare it to be our firm conviction that such voluntary, immediate and effective aid is not only in the best interests of the Dominion and the best evidence which this coun- tr\- TO I ’ive of its grateful apprecia-

which he is now Opposition leader, although his narrative of events clo^s in 1911 with the end of the T.aurier regime.

It cannot be said that Sir George lays bare any important secrets of history. Many of the 'men of whom he writes are still living, and he has treated them with praise, or, at most, with friendly criticism. He has, how'- ever, given in a host of cases a shrewd estimate of a close contemporary which will be read with relish by all interested in Canadian politics.

TOO MUCH ECONOMY. One interesting commentary has to

do with the earlier years of Sir George’s connection with the Liber- al Government in Ontario as Minister of Education, and during a part of Sir Oliver Mowat’s Premiership, which lasted from 1872 to 1896. Says Sir George :

“In my early days it was under the spell of Sancïleld Macdonald’s econormc fatalism. To propose an increase of the estimates or an advance in the salary of a clerk in the civil service was a high crime and misdemeanor. Sandfield’s surplus was a aacred legacy, and must not be reduced, no matter what iilterests starved or stag- nated. If a motion were made for reducing an appropriation members seemed to shivar at the calling of the 'yeas’ and ‘nays.’ It is true the income of the Province was fifced, and deficits were not desîraî?le, but to make economy a scarcerow when a more liberal expenditure wguld yield an hundredfold was tantadzing. So much for the power of a tradition.

“Then the Legislature, perhaps un- consciously, was inexcusably conservative. It nearly always made two bites of a cherry. To extend the franchise, except in the most begrudg- ing manner, or to erect a public building until driven to it by the dir- est necessity, would mean a prolong- ed discussion or a vote of want of confidence. It is true, progress was made, perhaps all the more substan- tial because gradual, but life is short and measured by decades—it is better to tempt the fates and ‘breast the blows of circumstances than sit in the shadow of progress when another

I step would admit you into the sun- j light. The aloe that is said to blossom only once in a hundred years may praduce beautiful flowers, but I prefer the annuals of less rarity but of more freriuent efflorescence."

I tion of the protection so long and so I geneirously afforded to us by the Moth- er County, but that it must also tend to convince the nations of the world of the solidarity of our Empire and the defterminatîon of the British Dominions of the new world to redress the balance of the old and thereby con- duce to the maintenance of peace with all its attendant blessings.

Moved by J«A. Macdonell, K.C., seconded by .1 .N.Gauthier, that the disso- lution of Parliament is a prero- gative of the Crown and in Canada, is vested In His Excellency the Gov- ernor General acting upon the advice

TIIR TROUBT.ED PREMIERSHIP.

Of all Sir George’s public life probably none was so troubled as the last two or three yeacs of his Premiership of Ontario. When Sir George Mowat en- tori'd the Laurier Cabinet in 1896, Mr. Hardy became Premier, only to retire three years later owing to ill-health.

mediate Naval defence, not only of the Dominion of Canada but the Empire at largo, and submitted to Parliament at this présent session, a bill to give effect thereto, which bill was carried througli the House of Commons by majorities never less than thirty and in some instances of over forty.

That the thirty five millions of dollars thus appropriated for that purpose, is the money of the people of the

of his constitutional advisers and j I^minion of Canada and the bill pro-

Mr. Hardy’s natural successor was Mr. Ross, whose embarrassment increased as the Liberal majority dwindled almost to nothing. Outwardly Mr. Ross, as every cesident of Ontario remem- bers, made a brave front, and rallied his supporters to "f-i-g-h-t” and to keep the Liberal colors flying. Sir George’s own version of bis perplex- ing situation is interesting.

“Although greatly honored by the call," be writes, “I felt my tenure of office, according to all political pre^ cedents, would not be long. The Liber- al party had already nearly doubled the ordinary span of political life. At the end of twenty-seven years symp- toms of declining vitality might be expected." Sir George speaks of the declining majority, the cross-currents produced by the separate school and prohibition questions, and goes on :

“But, dangerous ns these cross-currents were, other subtle influences not so apparent were weakening the party. There was the cumulative effect of disappointed expectations There was the depressing influence of irregularities disclosed in the election courts. There was the insidious appeal thut it was time for a change. And, more dangerous still, there was the feeling of perfect security in the possession of power so long maintained without any necessity for the usual activity to secure success.

“As to the loyalty of the party in the main I had np doubt. I had a Cab- inet of undoubted ability and equally anxious with myself to maintain the record of past achievements. But we knew the political mill could not be run by the water that had already passed over the wheel, and so we asked ourselves where we could find spheres of operation which would satisfy the public that we had the Courage and the initiative to maintain the record of our predecessors.”

This courage and initiative

trade issue. Sir George Ross, beinjf^ himself out of sympathy at least with the latest reciprocity movement in hi* party, seems to hold nothing against Mr. Blake on that count. Ai any rate, he does not mention the incident. Sir George gives Mr. Blake full credit for his exhaustive treatment of « subject. In fact Blake spoke so fully and at such length that he usu- ally exhausted his hearers and left nothing for subsequent speakers to say. “The very abundance of his knowledge was his weakness, evi^ dence that would have been sufficient to his audience was not conclusive to his mind, and so he piled Ossa upon Pelion and threw Parnassus them both, till everyone became dizzy scaling the heights to which he was being lifted, I have often watdi- ed from a public platform the dazed look of many of his hearers. They were attentive enough, but at the same time appealed to be wandering in a maze from which they were un- able to extricate themselves, whUe the object of their admiration wat moving apparently with the greateet confidence.’'

Mr. Blake’s strength was in debate, and his limitation in his lack of humor and his inability to “mix.” Sir George tells a story which car- ries the criticism st 11 further. While in the House of Commons during Mr. Blake’s leadership he carefully prepared a speech on reciprocity, only to find that Mr. Blake slept throughout its delivery ! )

INTIMATE POLITICAL HISTORT.

The writer is at pains throughont to picture the atmosphere in which labored. His readers learn at first hand the sensations of a fledgling school teacher in a pioneer section of M ddlesex pressed into politics by the admiration of his neighbors. At

demonstrated' by such measures as the ; first he fails to secure even the nomi- exploration of New Ontario, the good nation, but next time he wins, ûd, ia roads aid of the construe- 'one place or the other, represents that

neither can nor should be brought about by the action or at the dicta- tion of a majority in the Senate, a branch of the Legislature which is in no way responsible to the people of Canada nor amenable to public opinion.

That the present constitutional ad- viseirs of His Excellency had an undoubted mandate from the electors of Canada at the general election of Sept- ember 1911 to deal with the Naval

Wding for Its expenditure cannot in j any way be amended and should not

be rejected by the Senate, it being the undoubted and sole right of the Com- mons to direct how the public moneys

‘ of the Dominion should be expended and to what purposes they shall be applied.

That in the event of a majority of the men'bere of the Senate as at present constituted, placing themselves in a position of antagonism to the Housq

tion of the Timiskaming Railway, ^nd by othgr acts, but their signifi- cance and value was for the time discounted by the political troubles and embarrassments of . the Government.

OPPOSED TO RECIPROCITY. At another point Sir George Ross

hints at an element of discord between himself and rhe Federal liberal party on the question of reciprocity, a point on which his attitude was made more plain at the time. After recounting some of the outstanding achievements of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he adds :

“With such a record, vindicated four times by the people at the polls, what greater honor could be desired ? Just one draught more from the golden chalice — reciprocity with the United States. This phantom, which 80 allured his predecessors, suddenly appeared. It is no longer nebulous. It is flooh and blood. It invites him to banish his fears, for does it not bear in its hand an olive branch ? Then why not listen to its message ? He listened. Oh, the pity of it !”

SIR WILFRID LAURIER’S ORATORY.

Otherwise, Sir Wilfrid Laurier receives praise from Sir George. Of the liberal leader’s gifts as an orator. Sir George says :—

“On the platform Sir Wilfrid has the grace, the pose and the charm of a man of great natural endowments, accentuatfiri by culture and experience. His speeches are never we ght- ed with the ponderous arguments of the dialectician ; not that he does not argue a question, but his arguments are presented in such simple language as to make that appear self-evident which in a different form of speech would appear labored. He has a happy choice of phrases, which freshen up what might otherwise be commonplace, and his French accent and quaint humor and piquancy ideal- ize his treatment even of the greatest problems of government. He never drives his audience before him by the intensity of his matter or the force of his logic. He rather loads them aS a mesmerist would' lead the subjects of his art, or as a shepherd would his flock along the highway ' he desired them to take.”

Sir George pictiiresfjuely continues : “Such are some of the characteristics of the third candidate for the Pre- miership who leaned upon his spear while I was shaping arrows in the

Liberal camp. Jâurier’s pilgrimage from his place in the House in 1874 to his place in 1896 was more than a Sabbath day’s journey. For the first four years on the Government benches he was no doubt radiant with hope.

1 most folks in. the riding, and the breaking of a tender tie when retire- ment came at length in 1905. BYom the political turmoil of Middlesex hot, because it was local and personal. Mr.Ross aftm: his first election to tha Conservatives went to Ottawa, wh«e everything was new, and opportunity lay before the man who prepared for it. For a while he held back modest- ly, studied blue books and procedurs, haunted the library and fraternized in a boarding-house with Blake, MaO* kenzie. Mills, Casey and other gianta of those days. Eventually he found his feet, and spoke now and again, only after careful preparation. Joseph Howe lingered on the scene, “faw shadow of a great figure in Nova Sco- tia politics—a great man whose intel- lectual windows are hrosted. How sad that old age etkuea at all to some men.” Sir Charles Tupper, already old enough to have been a Father of Confeoteration, almost a decade previously, was there, “broad-shouldered, self-contained, vigorously-looking aft Wellington’s chargor 'Copenhagen,'

booking, in repose even, “as if hft âd a blizzard secreted somewhim about his person.” ^ î

MR. MACKENZIE’S TROUBI.OUS RULE.

This was in the early seventies and Sir John Macdonald was back from his second successful election after Confederation. Soon the clouds gathered, and the country was tom with the talk of the Parifio Scandal* Sir John tried to brazen it through at first, but the revelations made it impossible, and Alexander Mack-en* zie succeeded to the Premiership. The Mackenzie Administration, Sir George points out, was from its inception confronted with many diM- culties. There was the legacy ot trouble over Riel and his first rebellion. Then there was the Canadian Pacific Railway, to which the country was committed to keep faith with British Columbia. Mr. Mackenzie's “amplubious” route for this was lai®* porizing, unpopular, and did not stim- ulate the imagination as did the more courageous }l'ns vdiimately oarrisd out by Sir J chn Macdonald. îfr. Mackenzie was harassed by the commercial depression, which lowered his revenues, while his expenditiires wstn increasing, all the while his move- ments watched by a relentless and courageous Opposition. Sir John Macdonald, clever opportunist that he was, seized the occasion tor launching his National Policy prof ganda, a panacea which caught the fancy of mrmers and manufacturera

for the next eighteen years, like the coueur de bois of the old French period, he tramped through the lorest, forded rivers, paddled up rapids and camped with his fellow- voyageurs under the twinkling stars in the hope that the daw’n of day in a summer yet to come would bring him to the happy hunting ground, which was his quest. In his long journey Mr. Laurier took his full share of the toil and burden of weary marches and midnight watches abound the burning embers of his lonely camp.”

MR. BLAKE ANALYZED. Sir George writes throughout wdth

an evident discrimination. He is a keen observer of men, and his short analysis are convincing, a^îd are the fruit of many opportunities of study. His references to Hon. Edward Blake, for example, are much more kindly than those of Sir Richard Cart- wright. Sir Richard was embittered against Mr. Blake because of his de- sertion of the Liberal party MI the

ried Mackenzie was swept from power.

“Mackenzie’s leadership of tiie House,” says Sir George, “was a pe- culiar ftdmixt.urft of strength and weakness. No man could have kept a firmer grasp of the public business <rf the House than he did. . hi sheer force of will, in courage and aptness in debate, the Parliament d Canada never had a stronger leader.” Agdust this, however, Mackenzie had signal weaknesses. He had no gift ol conciliation ; with him H was a Mow for a blow. Even his attitude toward deputations was to regard them M marauders M the treasury. Sir Joiuw. on the other l^nd, could refuse a deputation with better grace than Mackenzie could grant what wae asked.

undreds crowded on the second deck. The lower deck then gave way, and &I1 were dropped down a chute- of ihattered woodwork to the tide-washed sands twenty-five feet below.

Thirty-three persons—mostly women—were killed by the shattered timbers. Some were crushed to death by the falling bodies of com- panions and friends. Fifty more were seriously Injured, while hysteria and fright caused the disabling of scores of others.

The victims were subjects or former subjects of Great Britain resident In southern California.

The accident occurred a few minutes before 12 o’clock. The Empire Day parade, thé principal feature of the celebration In honor of the late Queen Victoria’s birthday, had just ended, and the participants, with thouBfindB of other ylsitors, were crowding up the steps of the pier and surging toward the auditorium when the pier floor sagged. An in- stant later the supports save way, and the crack and groan of breaking timbers mingled with the shrieks and <a1e8 of the victims, as all went down into a mass of broken wood and writhing human forms oi^ the sand.

Virtually the entire land end of the pier was wrecked and a portion of the Auditorium front fell.

SITUATION IS GRAVE British Newspaper Takes Pesslmlstio

View of Pacific Problem

A pessimistic view of the Japaue»e- United States controversy Is taken by the London Saturday Review, which does not think that the dispute can be settled by diplomatic means and believes that omens are unfavorable to the United States.

“Behind the dispute,” it says, “there is a governing cause which will continue to operate until one side Is driven to give way to the other. The prize is the supremacy of the Pacific. The inevitable explosion will come the moment either nation feels ready and it will come suddenly.’’

Urging that It is Great Britain’s duty to stand aside, as she did in the Russo-Japanese War, it says: “Japan would look to us to keep out of the ling.”

Contending that the United States has only reciprocated England’s “pur- suit of phantom American friendship” for a century past by acts “exceptionally hostile,” it concludes:

“The United States is working for the supremacy of the Pacific on lines as unfriendly to us as to Japan. i»hould she fall foul of Japan In the process it is not for us to help her out, to the injury of our ally.”

The Japanese government In the meantime is redoubling Its efforts to pacify public opinion, in the belief that Washington will find a peaceful solution of the problem. It Is felt, however, that it will be difficult to stem the tide of popular anger against the United States, as the Japanese generally regard the issue €ia one in- volving their national honor.

At the close of tha formalities a maiden trip was mads fey Gustav Hamel, who took Sir Joseph ward as a passenger.

Hon. W. T. McKenzie returned thanks on behalf of the New Zealand Goverament for the gift. In Britain, he saio, aeroplanes were largely associated with the subject of defence.

A dislocated neck, following a sharp blow to the jaw, killed Luther Mc- Carthy, white heavyweight world’s champion, in the ring at Calgary on Saturday afternoon.

CHILD’S STRANGE DEATH

No Foul Play In the Case of Little Mingo Girl

That death was due to a rupture of the stomach caused by an acute attack of indigestion of an unusTial kind was the verdict rendered by the Jury which Investigated the somewhat mysterious demise of 11-year-old Kath- leen Mingo, of 848 Dundas street, Ixjndon. Dr. MaoLaren etated to the Jury that after his first Investigation of the case he was strongly of the opinion that the child had been given "dope” or poison and that there had been an attempted violation. 'This theory was, however, disproven In the autopsy. 'The little girl was found dead In a yard late at night after having partaken of loe-cream.

THE PORT CREDIT MYSTERY

Authorities Think They Have Found Clue In Orchard

What Is alleged to be a human bone, (IS well as a necktie, and portion of a man’s elastic suspender thought to have belonged to “Old Bob” Little, were exhumed by Prov- incial Constable Rutledge In an orchard near the Shanahan residence at Port Credit on Saturday.

Little was an old soldier who dis- appeared five years ago after a row at the Shanahan bouse, and after the arrest recently of Shanahan and two |Women on a charge of Keeping a dis- orderly house, the authorities were Informed that there was good reason to suspect that the old man was murdered. The search fbr more evidence win be continued.

Defeat is Coming Prof. Sbelton, of Queen’s University,

is a non-political and impartial critic of the naval bill, used in the last issue of the Oiieen’s College Quarterly he writes :

'‘The case against a oentralized navy has grown stronger on every count. It is not the way to build up the greatest naval strength in the long run. Gra'Evt that fifty ships under tho immediate control of the admiralty w'iir be more efficient force for the moment than five squadrons of ten ships under five separate controls. But will there be fifty and fifty, or twenty and sixty? Jt is undoubtedly true, and the opponent of any naval ex}>0iïditure at all is entitled to act upon the fact, that we will spend a dollar for a Canadian naw more will- ingly than a shilling for an imperial navy in which our individuality is lost. A first contribution might 'be given willin-ffly, but a second would come grudgingly if at all. Australia bickered over the grant of less than a millioTi pomi'cls a year, though for a Brit*ish n'est -maintained in her own waters to-day. she is freely spending five or six millions for the Royal Aus- tralian navy.’’

’'•'In a recent discussion in the commons it Ixicame apparent that the outlook of the naval bill 'was not as bright as it was some weeks ago. JAib- lic opinion is undergoing the change that followed tl;ie introduction of reciprocity in the fall of 1911. At the first there sociT>ecl to be no use in op- posing the pact. The opposition looked askance at it. but feared to attack it.

After a 'W'hile--a little while— there was an adverse feeling. It began to grow, not so muoli in the house ' as outside of it, for parties in parliament are singularly blind or indiffer- ent to the drift of public opinion. The indiscreet remarks of the president, about the nations having reached the cross roads, caused the first ripple of rebellion. The foolish an- nexation talk credited to Champ Clark —and now, all too late repudiated, declared to be a fiction, maliciously cir- cu'lated—added to the discontent. Then the "British bom movement, and the campaign of the Anti-Reciprocity Ijéa- gue, composed of the great money grub- bers and money changers, settled the fate of the bill. The fact was not, however, revealed until the election occurred.

Once more a proposition, that see-med 'to be popular, overwhelming- ly 'SO, is on the wane. At first opposition to the emergency grant to the imipeiial navy, seemed to be lidpeleFSs. Then the emergency disappeai'ed'. Later the demand for a Canadian navy, even as a secondary proposal, became in- sistant. Finally -there was the call for a referendum or election—and in tre- pidation the government halts in it# naval theories and listens. The liber- als ask. for a referendum to the people, and the conviction grows that an appeal, without a specific provision for a Canadian navy, or a commence- ment xipon it, would result in the defeat of the Government.

Cost of Prodoctioo While the prices for which’ farm pro-

ducts sell are very important, they alone do not insure profitable production. It is the margin between -what it oost/9 to produce an article and what it sells for that counts. Therefore the oost of production is just as important as the price for which the article sells for. And coat of production receives less attention in the agriculture of to- day than it shoiüd. There are hundreds of farmers working year in and year out who know little or nothing about what it costs them to produce a bushel of wheat, to breed, fit and fatten a bunch of steers and to make a pound of butter. There is a need for more education alo-ng this line, and for practical information that would enable farmers to work their land more economically. This is something agricultural colleges and other avenues for educating the farmer should give more attention to. The study of breeding and feeding animals is valuable, the study of soils and growing crops Is also importan-6; but if the farmer does not thoroughly understand the econon-dc side of farming he cannot ben-ofit from the study as be should. In these days of high priced labor the farmer needs to exert the greatest care in planning his work and in making use of the hired man’s time to co-me out well. Of course, it would bo difficult to devise a ifian of work that co'uld be adapted to each individual farm. At the same tinw, it might bo possible for colleges to give more attention to this side of agricultural education. 'Th’ere Is a biek of system in farm work to-day that Is having a detrimental effect upon agriculture generally. It lessens production and •makes both the farmer and his help dissatisfied.

Providence seems to be making com- pensation to the farmers of Ontario for the existing shortage of labor on the land.

From many sections of the Province comes word that farmers are turning their attention to Hvé stock, especially Cat- tle, partly because less labor ia invol-

May Crop Bulletio The following statement regarding

the crop condition in the province, based on the returns of correspondents sent in on or about May 1.5, has been issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture :

Fall IVTieat. — ’niis crop wintered well, notwithstanding the light protection of snow, and the early spring weather was also favorable, there being comparatively little heaving or other injury from frost. There was an unusually rapid' growth in the latter part of April and the first few days of May, which gave a good head to the plant, but subsocjiicnt cold weather has acted as a check. Taken all together, however, the present outlook for the crop is most promising, except on late-sown fields or on low or poorly drained land. Only a comparatively small acreage has been plowed up or resown with barley or other spring grain. Much less injury than usual from insects is reported. ✓

Clover.—In the western half of the province, in the northern districts aud in most of the Lake Ontario counties, clover has done well especially in tae case of the younger fields. In the more eastern part of the province, however, much of the crop has been more or less killed out during the winter and spring, although even there some good fields arc also reported. Several correspondents point out that late pastur- ing was responsible for some o4 the po«r fields of both clover and alfalfa.

Alfalfa — Reports regarding alfalfa are not quite so enthusiastic as usual, as both winter and spring conditions were trying to this crop, and many of the fields are somewhat patchy. As in the Case of fall wheat and clover, alfalfa has done best on well-drained land.

Vegetation. — Unusually warm weather in the latter half of April and the early part of May caused growth in the field, orchard, and ôrest to go ahead with a rush, and vegetation was estimated to be from a week to two weeks ahead of the normal. Cool weather with night frosts coming in about May how'e/er, gave an almost complete check to growth fiom that d’ate to time ol reporting ; and, while orchards seem to be more forward than usual, pastures are now only about ordinary. In most cases cattle are on the grass and are getting a good bite. Very timely rains were falling as our later correspondents wrote.

Fruit.—In the first week of May orchards gave promise of an immense yield. The trees were covered with fruit-buds—many in full bloom—and small fruits were also blossom ng pro- fusely. Between May 7 and May 11, however, a series of severe night frost» occurred, the' effects of which are variously described. A careful sifting of the reports shows that early strawberries were badly nipped, but that the later varieties happily escaped. Some bush fruits, such as currants, were also caught in some of the more adv’anced sections. In the fruit lands along the lake shores—more especially in the Niagara district—fruit trees sustained comparatively little harm from the frosts, but some of the orchards farther inland were injured to some extent. Of the orchard trees apples have suffered the least, and plums and cherries the most, but in no case as seriously as was at first expected. To sum up, the injury from the severe frosts of May has turned out to be much less general than was feared at the time of the frosts, and a good yield of all classes of fruit may still be had should favorable conditions prevaB ’J’he j)resence of the tent caterpillar unusually large numbers is comp’ îned of by many corrospondents, m ern half of the provinces

Fodder Supplies.-Fair-^^^^^ ^ better situation aa if j^êr supplies than for many j It,os there I* ^ a- m many lino ^ plentiful supply,

wie ia ^ sufficiency of oats on

sition the aid of dairy records. Neither the cow’s appearance nor the owner’e knowledge of some short-period yield of milk (e-Ktraortlinary as that yield may have been for a day, or one week, or a month) wiil testify with certainty to each individual cow’s ability to pay her way for the whole year. Cow testing- provides a simple and emi- nently practical way of discovering not only if each cow pays, but which cows pay the most profit on the 12 months’ transaction of feed consumed, and milk and fat produced. Those large-profit cows are revealed only by practical cow-testing.

Cows are apt to cheat the unsus- pecting dairyman unless he keeps tab on the performance of each one; many dairymen have found this out to their utter astonishment and regret. Don't take chances with your herd ; be certain that each cow pays ; it pays you to find out. Indiridual cow records help the practical farmer to build up a profitable herd.

Good Roads There has been a great deal of dis-

cussion the past few months on road improvement, but we do not appear to be any nearer a solution of this big problem than, we were a year ago or even ten years ago. It seem.s to be too big a problem for our statesmen to tackle in an energetic way. They go at it in piecemeal fashion, here a little and there a little, and talk big of what they are doing in the interests of better roads. But no ono has yet evolved a practical and comprehensive scheme for improving all roads and

' keeping them good after they are im-' proved. This will come in time, no doubt, but in the meantime a lot of money is being spent on roads in a more or less hap-hazard fashion, and without permanent provision for maintenance and the future up-keep of the road, A gopernment, a county or township may spend thousands of dollars to build roads, but if no provision is made to maintain the roads fit- ter they are built, that money will, to a large extent, be wasted. What ia required is a comprehensive scheme covering all the roads and so planned that some body will be responsible for every road. This Is worked out in the United States by the State assuming responsibility for certain main roads, the counties for roads leading to these and the township for the balance, all working under one definite plan. This, te our mind, is the only workable plan for securing permancy in road building and maintenance. All the road# cannot be built at onoe. But if some definite, comprehensive plan were decided upon and a beginning made to carry it into execution, there would be more accomplished than the present hit and miss scheme, with no one responsible for keeping the roads in proper repair after they are built. — Canadian Fam.

an formerly to live stock. Wheat is somewhat scarcer, but there is enough for all requirements on the average farm. ; The only deficiency appears to be in the quantity of straw oi;^ hand.

Spring Sowing—This work was weÜ advanced wh, n correspondents reported, and in many quarters all spring grains had been got in. While there are complaints of some of the stiffer clay soils being hard to work, and remaining somewhat lumpy, most of the reports speak of the condition of the seed-bed as being from fair to excellent. All the spring grains made a good catch as a rule; but several correspondents stated that more rain was necessary in order to ensure the best results.

ago, was corned to death and void of vegetable matter. I plowed, harrowed and pulverized it thoroughly and put it in rye, using half a bushel of seed and one hundred pounds of fertUizear per acre.

Practicol Cow Records Almost every dairy farmer who com-

mences to weigh and sample his cows’ milk individually says at the end of a few month, “I find some in my herd were kept at a loss.” Some men find only one or two cows, others state that they have found too many in the herd play a losing game.

What does this mean? Just this: that, despite all the experience gained from years of practical dairying, the farmer finds that, in order to become thoroughly “practical” he must requi-

Strawberry Ways ^“xwthorne, in one of his charm-

L’T )hildren:s taies, gives the ideal ^nmer breakfast as consisting of . Little brook trout, roasted potatoes, Vot cakes, fresh boiled eggs, coffee, strawberries.

Although within the luscious depths of the strawberries there lies neither muscle nor flesh forming elements yet it refreshes, stimulates and regu- lates.

The analysis of the strawberry shows it to be particularly rich in soda salts, and in spite 6Î the high percentage of water (eighteen hundred pounds to eacli ton of berries) it excels all other common fruits in the amount of mineral salts. Of this account it is often reco'mmended to goutj^ persons. It was the great Linnaeus who first discovered this pleasant remodj' for sc'atica, and his advice has been foUowed ever since. In the south of Oermany a pint of milk, with a piece of rye bread and a quarter of a pint of l>erries, taken systematically twice a dav, is considered an ideal summer diet and one whose beneficial effects are soon felt.

An ideal way to serve the berries is to put them into acolander, and let cold water run over them gently until all grit is remov*>d. Drain thoroughly, and arrange them for breakfast on pretty individual niâtes with stems uppermost, and a little mound of sugar in the centre to dip them in.

If there is a strawberry leaf or a slice of orange to put on the bottom

■of the plate, so much prettier is the êffect.

Sugar should never be sprinkled

Strawberry Shortcake. — To make real American shortcake, put four cupfuls sifted flour into a mixing bowl, add a half tpasooonful salt and mix well. Chop in three large tablespoon- fuls of butter. Dissolve a spoonful soda in a little lukewarm water, and add” a large cupful of sour cream or rich milk. Add also a well- beaten egg and a tablespoonful of sugar. Mix well with a flexible knife, not handling more than is necessary. The doi^h should be soft enough to roll easilt. Roll lightly and quickly into two rather thin sheets. Bake in well-greasod round tins in a hot oven. When done, cover the lower half with a , thick layer of strawberries crushed and sweetened. Place second cake on top and cover with whole berries. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with thick yellow cream. Sweet milk and baking powder can be used in place of the sour cream and soda-

The Little Things On my way to church, not long ago,

I noticed just ahead of me an old lady slowly walking in the same direction. At her side was her little grand daughter, holding her hand and carefully Watching her steps. Skillfully she piloted her charge around some small obstruction on the walk and when the church steps were reached with all her small strength she aided ‘^grandma” to ascend them and then saw her safely into her pew. The child’ then went on her way to her own church, but when the service was over, there she was at the church door waiting to see the old lady home. Her childish face was light- ed with the gratification of a good deed done. She bad been ol use to some one, and virtue was its own reward.

A teamster was drlvliig a span of horses attached to a heavy load. The roads were rough and it was hard pulling. The man stopped and allowed his horses to rest a few mo- ments. Just then a lady, noted for her kindly thoughts and actions, stepped up to the man and thanked him for his thoughtful care for his animals. Here were two good deeds

! accomplished ; the kindness which helped the horses and the recognition of it, which helped the man.

I One cold day this winter a man les, driving into town with a very thé young Calf in the wagon, the mother

CITY CIRCULATION AGENT

Of Leading Montreal Dally LndorjesGIN PILLS

IVE long years of suffering from Kidney Trouble-

two boxes of GIN PILLS — and all gone. That hat been iheexperiencs of Mr. Eugeos Quesnel, Chief City Circulation Agent of La Patrie, of Montreal. He describes It feelingly :

Montreal, , May 3rd, 191»

“I have been suffering from Kidney Trouble for over five long years. I had also Rheumatism in all my bones and muscles, could not sleep nights and on some occasions could hardly walk. I had been treated by some of our best Physicians but without relief and I lost over fifteen pounds. One day I met one of our leading hotelkeepers, who had been cured by your famous GIN PILLS, and he advised me to try them. So I bought two boxes at my druggist’s and before I had used one box I felt a big change. Before I finished the second one I was completely cured.

I can assure you I can hardly beliere it for if I had only known what I know now I would not have spent over Ont Hundred Dollars for nothing when two boxes of GIN PILLS cured me.”

EUGENE QUBSNBL. GIN PILLS are gaining a world-wldt

reputation, by the way they conquer tkt most obstinate cases of Rheunutif and all kinds of Kidney Tronble.

our streets we \voulcl not heaT* so often of laws broken by yautliful criminals.

We aoticc often on the street cars little acts of courtesy shown the old people by both men and women. The surrender of seats by young girls, the helping hand of some gen- tleman used to study the feeble steps of age or those just out of the in- valid's chair, as they get off or on the Car, all show thoughtfulness and a following of the Golden Rule.

All these are little things, but when we come to think about it, we find that it is the little things that Count in life, that make all the dif- ference between happiness and mis- ery, between enjoying existence and enduring it.

How important then that we train our children to watch for opportunities to do a kind deed or speak a kind word ; to let no day go by without having in some way helped a fellow being. Let us recall the old couplet ; 'Count that day lost, where low de-

scending suit Views from ihy hand no worthy action

doxe.”

The Savings Habli To Mr. F. S. Jarvis, manager of

the GaH branch of x-he Merchants Bank, belongs the credit of introduc- ing the School Savings Bank system into Canada. Mr. Jarvis was equal to the task of influencing school boards to make it a part of school life and its spread over the Province constitutes evidence of its usefulness

a factor in inculcating thrift among young people.

Mr. Jar\’is is introduc ng a supplementary banking system, one that will dovetail into the School Savings Bank system. It is now under way and, briefly, is the creation of a department in the branch over which ho presides for tbe depositing of small sums by adults, from two cents up, deposits to be accepted on certain day or days each week. The idea uppermost in the launching of this project is to widen the field of the small depositor, to inculcate habits of thrift among those who have left the school desk and to t(>ach banking ules to the uninitiated, and thus

serve a useful purpose in the process of making good citizens. ’I'ho system will entail considerable work, but as a pathfinder Mr. .Jarvis will put into its development native enthusiasm and the energy of a banker bent on justifying his work from within. Across the border banks are taking this plan to create a desire to save among pi'ople who seldom or never approach the teller’s box, and what has been done there to build up a savings bank habit can be done in Canada. The public will watch with interest the development of the system in Galt.—Reformer.

TUB NE IV BUILDI^ Q MA TE RIAL For Interior and Exterior Work.

Better than lath and plaster for interior of buildings.

Warmer and cooler than brick or cement.

Warmer, cooler and more durable than frame for exterior of building.

FIBRE^BOARD Is pure wood fibre compressed into solid homogenous boards by tremen- dous hydraulic presses, It is thoroughly baked to remove all moisture, 60 that it is absolutely dry and cannot warp, crack or shrink. It is not a number of thin layers pasted together, as other so-called wall boards are. It is one solid piece of the same material. It is pressed and dried perfectly fiat and therefore will not buckle or bow between the studs, like larger boards that are built up on rollers. It is nailed on the studding with common in. wire nails. Can be sawn with an ordinary fine tooth saw. Does not require skilled mechanics—anyone can put it.on.

For interior work it can be finished by papering, the same as a plastered wall, or painted or alabastiued, or coated with a putty coat of plaster.

For exterior work it can be painted or coated with rough coat.

Grenville Wall Board has many advantages over lath and plaster for interior work. It is cheaper, more quickly applied, leaves no dirt to be cleaned up, will not crack or jar ofi, and is an excellent insulator for heat, cold and souud.

Fibre Board comes in boards 3 by 4 ft. by Jin. thick for interior work, fin. or 1 inch thick for exterior work. It is sold directly to users only through the company's own agents, no dealers or middlemen’s prefits.

Our lacrosse boys, on Saturday afternoon, Victoria Day, picked up sides and for an hour or so, considering the little practice they had previously had gave a number of our citizens a goott exhibition match which was much appreciated.

One of the greatest festivals in the Catholic Church is the feast of Corpus Christi, which was most fittingly solemnized here on Sunday last.

jL The following music pupils of St. Margaret’s Convent, the majority of them little tots, the Misses Katie Mc- Donald, Lillian Dever, Ida Menard, Marie McT.eister, Elaine McT.ennan, Helen. McDonald, Alexandra Kilkerry, and Master Eugene Deagle, were in Montreal on Wednesday of this week, where at the Holy Cross Convent, St. [jaurent, they underwent examinations in music. Tbe young people display exceptional talent for their years, and : we hope they will not meet with disappointment. They were accompanied to St. Laurent by Rev. Sister M. of SI. Antonius, Superior, and Rev. Sis- ter M. of St. Alexandra.

A recent copy of the Ottaw^, Free Press contained an exhaustive account of the death by drowning of two young Englishmen, namely, William Tunstall and Fred Bellingham, in the Desohenes Rapids, near the Capital. They had gone boating, and been warned to "keep away from the rapids," but in a very few minutes tho young men were battling with the current which in the end proved vic- torious and the pair .were drowned. The Fred Bellingham referred to was à member but a few months ago of the office staff of the Munro & McIntosh Co. here, and during his short sojourn in Ale«andria won many friends.

The broken weather was accountable for the decision of the executive of the

.jj* T? Miss Amy MePhee arrived from Lon- Tun Club, arnved at on Friday morn- uj r» ,■ T? - i i + • .... v™„ *„ rdon, Ont., on Friday last on a visit ing, after the News was printed to

postpone the series of races that had been advertised in honor of Victoria Day. Tlie telephone was brought into play and the residents of adjoining villages advised of the postponement, but as the News has a wide circulation and the races had been given considerable publicity in its columns quite a number came to town for the races, only to meet with disappointment. The Turf Club will, at a later date, hold a big field day and thus make up to the patrons of this sport for the enforced disappointment which the members regret, perhaps even more than the public generally.

The farce-comedy in three acts, "What Happened to Braggs" to be staged by St. Finnan's Dramatic So- ciety, in Alexander Hull, here, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week, is perhaps the most ambi- tious effort of the club since its inception, however, consoiontio\is work has been put in by the members of the cast and we have every reason to believe that for an amateur performance it will be one of the successes of the season. As such entertainments appeal directly to theatre-gocu's those taking part may reasonably look for good houses both nights. It has been our privilege to attend a rehearsal and the farce-comedy with its many laughable situations will we think k(>ep old and young in merriment during the two and one-half hours of its portray- al.

Alexander Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, despite cloudy weather and an occasional fall of rain, afternoon and evening, presented an animated appearance when the ladies of the league of the Sacred Heart held a plant and flower show to afford an opportunity to the citizens of Alex- andria and vicinity to secure, at prac- tically the producer’s price, garden and flower plants. In conjunction with the sale of the aforesaid there were three artistically decorated booths, désignât ed respectively housekeeper’s, ice-cream and fish pond, and afternoon and evening, without exception, they did a iandoffice business, as those who visited the hall entered enthusiastioallj’^ in- to the scheme. -Each evening a delight tul little programme was staged and a feature worthy of notice was the portion contributed by the pupils of the Alexandria Separate School Sys- tem. The ladies who conceived the idea are deserving of more than a ewn- pliment, a» the work entailed called for much thought and labor and we trust that when the returns are counted up they will feel repaid for their efforts. We may just ass that the ladies of the league have decided to make this an annual event'
