GOOD WORD FROM BOYS IN SECOND CONTINGENT. VETERAN PUBLISHER DEAD THE LEADER'S VOICE Well Deserved Tribute From A Conservative source to Sir Wilfrid. The Canadian Courier is a non-partisan journal, and yet its editor, Mr. John A. Cooper, M. A., is a strong Conservative and is one of the leaders of 1 is party in Toronto. It is noteworthy, then, that in last week's issue The Courier prints a splendid portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier accompanied by the following editorial note which all fair-minded Canadians, without distinction of party, will fully approve approve and cordially endorse : "There never has been any doubt as to where Sir Wilfrid Laurier stands on the question of Imperial defence. During the historic deadlock debate on the Naval Aid Bill, two sessions ago, wqen the Liberals opposed the vote of $35»ot)0,000 to the British Admiralty as the price of three Dreadnoughts, Sir Wilfrid reaffirmed his belief in the construction of a Canadian Navy wh ch had already been begun by government in the purchase of the Niobe and the Rainbow. He said tha.t whenever it came to helping England in time of peril, he and his party would vote not $35,000,000, but twice, three times, four times the amoùnt as the price of Canadian Imperial effort against the common enemy. enemy. He spoke with authority, because it was Sir Wilfrid's government that authorized authorized the recruiting in Canada of troops for the Imperial army in the South African African war. During the special session of Parliament in August, 1914» Sir Wilfrid reaffirmed that attitude. In unofficial speeches made elsewhere, he has spoken for a united Canada that sinks all party difference in a time when the Entire, and therefore Canada, is at war.** " ^ -1C< r v [t IK Large Frame Building For Sale.

The demise of our old and respected confrere, the late George' Keyes, a few minutes before noon on Wednesday, Oct. 2ist, 1914, in the 82nd year of his age, removes removes a most estimable and exemplary citizen who has been intimately and actively actively associated with the civic, business and fraternal life of Colborne for nearly half a century, and one who was greatly respected and beloved for his many excellent excellent qualities of heart and head.

Methodist Church, Belleville, who has recently recently returned from a trip to Europe with Dr. Jas. L.

Taking for his text "All men are of one blood," he said that scientists have proved this fact.

What is to be the type of civilization civilization to lead the world in the coming years ? That is the question. Is the old flag that was good enough for our forefathers forefathers still good enough for us ? It is because you desire to give an emphatic Yes to this question, that you have put on the King's uniform and are going forth to the conflict. I want you, young men, and I want everyone within the sound of my voice, to realize what a wonderful situation confronts confronts us. The whole course of history will be changed as a result of this war. It will, I hope and believe, be the occasion occasion for a new start in the world's triumphs triumphs over fratricidal conflicts. Now in this great epoch in the history of the world you men of the 46th Regiment Regiment will have your part. And proudly shall they who come after us claim that these little towns upon the shores of our great Lakes, had a vital part in that world transformation. Now don't let us forget that you are going forth to engage in something far more important to the world than Marathon, or Hastings, or Crecey, or Waterloo, or the Plains of Abraham, and every heart in Canada will swell with pride at the story of your valor, your obedience, your resource. I ask yot finally to remember the authority authority that has called you forth. Remember Remember the King whom you serve. The world has never seen the sight which the British empire now presents. From Canada, Canada, Newfoundland, West Indies, Australia, Australia, New Zealand, India, men are rushing to the colors, and rushing as free men. You are under no compulsion to go, but borne and established The Express, which he has been actively connected ever since. His writings were characteristically characteristically brief and witty, at times a hard hitter, yet he always aimed to be fair. He took active interest in the welfare and advancement advancement of the village and its citizens, was a member of the village council and of the Board of Education. Mr. Keyes held several offices: was secretary of Masonic Masonic Lodge for 42 years, during which time he did not miss a meeting. Upon giving up this office in May, 191L h e was presented by the Lodge with a gold-headed cane and a life membership in the Order. M W. Bro. D. F. Me Watt, then Grand Master, made the presentation on the night of the dedication of the new Masonic Masonic Hall. For 33 years Mr. Keyes was Village Clerk, for 32 years Treasurer of Faith Lodge, A.O.U.W., and for 31 years Vestry Clerk of Trinity Church, strict attention attention and fidelity to his duties being the same in all. He was twice married,_ his first wife being Miss Ellen Russell of Cobourg, Cobourg, who died Aug. 2lst, 1881, leaving one son, H. S. Keyes, who has been associated associated with his father in the printing business business and who will continue it. in I087 deceased was married to Miss Minnie Fetherston of Cobourg, who survives.

Meetings Meetings are to be held every fortnight, and one of the chief functions of the society society is to develop public speaking. Three prizes with a total value of $20.00 are. given- annually to _ the students--boy_ or. girl--who succeed in Vv inning out before a committee selected to judge the oratory and award the prizes. The High School Inspector, Mr. J. E. Wetherell, paid the annual visit of inspection inspection to this high school on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. He was pleased to note several improvements in school accommodation, equipment, etc. The Inspector favors indoor ealistheme exercises throughout the whole school for both boys and girls. The Principal of the school prefers out-door games and sports for both boys and ..girls when weather is favorable, that is, spring and fall. Thro these Notes the opinion is expressed that a function of the school is to develop body as well as mind, and there is nothing for physical development equal to out-door sports, games and "romps." An unfortunate misunderstanding arose between the boys' football club and the Port Hope High School team over a game which was to be played here on Oct. 3rd* The Secretary of our team wrote the Port Hope captain on Sept. 30th stating that the game could not be played as pre- arrangements with Oshawa fixed Oct. as the day for a match with Oshawa. The captain of the Port Hope team states that he did not receive that notice, and the team came on to Bowmanvillë only to find that our team was in Oshawa. We regret very much that this hitch should have occurred, and we assure the Port Hope bovs that we are exceedingly sorry the notice did not reach them and for the expense they incurred needlessly. The High School boys and girls, schoolmates schoolmates of Roger Bird, set up a Union Jack over the- door of the second form room. Roger Bird enlisted in August for active service in the overseas contingent, his schoolmates are proud to do him honor. Tacked on the staff of the flagU* a list of students then belonging to the school, and this flag and list are expected to remain in their place indefinitely, not only to show that the High School has its representative at the front, but also to show that the students and teachers of the school are intensely interested in those of the student body who have left and are now taking their places in their respective callings of life. We also hope the flag will serve as a monument of the last war in the history of civilized man.
