Editor THE OLD AI).\M SHOWS THB FUCSHBtTQN APVANCE The editor of the Farmer's Sun is a regular Grit of the old school and carries with him through the editor- ial column.s of that paper his old prej- udices and instincts. At present he i.s engaged in trying to discredit the Fsrguson regime with all the elo- puence of a gifted pen. He has lost none of the party enthusiasm display- •^ed years ago when he conducted the !Manitowaning Expositor. The Ad- vance can agr/e with much that the Sun says editorially, but the editor's unqualified attack on Premier Fergu- son, who is making an effort to find a way to minimize the orgy of I)oot- legging by making for the crime a jail penalty and granting a slightly higher alcoholic cont?nt in beer, is not very convincing when one remembers the political record of Mr. Smith. The real political -aniipus shines through 'the veneer. The old Adam is looking " through the Sun's spectacles'. Mr. Ferguson believes that he can better cope with the bootlegger by granting a 5 per cent, beer, which he cTajms is not intoxicating, and stiff- ening up the Act in other dierctions, giving a jail sentence without option of a fina, and that this will work in the, best interestss of temperance. At least he will make the experiment and if the new beer is found to be in- toxicating he will cut it out. The Premier has good temperance men in his cabinet who are willing to give the new scheme a trial. In the country the nefarious work of the bootlegger is comparatively unknown as compared with the cities, but even here there is too much of it in evidance and a bootlegger with a jail term ahsad of him will consider matters a little more carefullly before continuing in the business. KIMBERLEY EDITOklAL NOTES The government will give/ an an- nuity to Prof. Saunders of $5,000 for developing the Marquis wheat. This Is a dangerous precedent. Many Other inventors hava benefited human- ity as greatly as Prof. Sanders and without pecuniary recognition by any- body. Prof. Sanders has been a gov- ernment employee for many years and should not requir? this handsome do- nation from the public chest. * • * * The gloriou.s news has been herald- ed from Ottawa that $G,1»33,279 have been cut from the esimates as com- pared with last year. Of course this estimate is only preliminary, and bew fore .shouting "(Jlory hallelujah" we will wait and see what the supple- mentary estimates will be. Some governments have the bad habit of leaving a lot of estimates until the last moment in hopes that the people will not notice their last hour' mun- ificence. • • * • The Mt. Forest Confederate and Reprssentative asks, "Why shouldn't all the awkward 6-cent nickels be called in as fast as possible and be substituted by our foi-mer most con- venient and elegant silver five-cent pieces?" Well, Mr. Confederate, we believe the answer lies in the fact that the government is trying to economize, and goes about it by palming off upon the public its pew- ter coinage. Nickel has only a metal Value, is cheap and silver costs con- siderably more. There is not the money value in the nickel medal that there was in the old five-cent piece. It is spurious, it is confus- ing and it is inconvenient. But it is put out in the much abused name of economy! The Euphrasia Township Prohibi- tion Union held their convention' on Feb. 10 in the church. Rev. Mr. Elli- son presided. The numbsrs were not as large as hoped for on account of bad conditions of the roads. After the reading of a letter from Prohibi- tion headquarters it was decided on motion that the matter of finances would be left to each community in the township to collect. The follow- ing resolutions are to be sent to Pre- mier and members: 1 That we believe that bootleggers should be given a fine and jail term, as intimated by the Premier. We, the representatives of Euphrasia Township, agree to assist the govern- ment to enforce the O.T.A. to the best of our ability. 2 That we, the members of Euph- rasia Prohibition Union, meeting in convention, this 10th day of Feb., place on record our appueciation of 'he benefits of the O.T.A. in our prov- ince, and, wherea* a majority of the eKctors of the Province have for three or four times <axpressed at the polls their confidence in the, O.T.A., we earnestly request the Goverament to strenthen the Act by batter en- forcement rather than weaken its benefits by any method of govern- ment control.

Mr. Ellison preached hiS fourth sermon in the series "The Far- mer." Next Sunday night he will take "Sports, especially ball games," and if it is as interesting as the oth- ers, which we expect it will, it will be well worth a full house.
