NOT -,EN TIUTU BEFORE FAYOIJ- PRIN- CIPLES, NOT MEN! On .liine 1st, 1881, nearly twenty-nine yciust a<<(i, in fact with the (ir*t issue of Tlio Advance, it tcok us its motto the Hord.s above: "Truth before f;ivorâ€" - Principles, not men." The motto was an »nibitiou.s one, and while not chosen by the present editor, has been retained by him for twenty-two years, and hia formed an ideal to work for. The niolt'> is not an oi.sy oi>e to live up to and The Advance has several tunes been charged with inconsistency, even by pnolic men (thoush anonymously), .and by other les- ser luminaries. To have plensed every one would have been manifestly impossible, and the writ- er regards these hysterical charges of ni- consisteaco a.s proof of hi.s consistency. The one who makes the chirs^e is, nine times out of ten, one who has been isacri- Kced to principle, tlio one who has not been favored, and so agiin we say that .such charges are a proof of the fact that the motto is being observed. Hereafter the motto will appear at the head of editorial column, aa well as (ui the front page, and will serve .is :i con- stant reminder that tbe editorial influence cannot he houijht ; and that personal feel- ing must nece*s.irily be kept out of it if it is to bo of any real service to the readers. It cannot be di.sputed that gauiblins? is not conducive to hi,!{h morals ; and when a toy btigins to indulge in poker he i« beginning to play with tire, and is almost sure to be Lurned in the courae of time. We are creditably informed that with the spring weiither has returned the -secret poker playini;. See here, boys, when yim stealthily assemble at your secret (?) ren- dezvous you plainly show that you liiiow you ohould not be playing poker. Be men, then, and quit. Get intorested in healthy givnits and recreations, bur if y"W have any self respect drop those cards. Tho parents do not seem to know that their Ixiysarrf'playinjj poker, but they j gpiual raecingitis 01" other should know. Some day they will know [ j^^^j troubles smoke â€" but it will then be too late. ' B. PS. BOY SCOUTS Readers of the daily press have doubt- less noticed frefpient references to the Boy Scouts, and have wondered what it was all about. The movement is a modern one, and one that is rapidly grow- ing. Baden Powell of African fame is the originator of the idea, and is the head of the movement. The Boy Scouts are corps of boys under c< mpetent instructors who are instructed in military matters, to Ik certain extent. But the military side of the movement is one of the least in nnportance. The boys are taught to control themselves, to think for them- selves, and to act for themselves. The moral, as well .xs the physical derelop- ment, is looked after. The boys are given uniform and equip- ment, and everythincr is of a nature co make it attractive tu the boys. It is sport, but it is healthy sport, and tho boys will almost unconsciously be devel- oping qualities which will make men, not mollycoddles, out of them. They will be able to take knocks and give them. Baden Powell is to bo congratulated on instigating such a movement. It is one worthy of a great man. Many corps have been formed in England, and the idea appeals to Canadians, with the result that many coips have l>een formed all over the Dominion. PRINT THE ASSESSMENT ROLL. In conversation with a A'andeleur gentleman tins (of course the topic was C'oi.tinuation School) The Advance re- ceived eousidorablo lit'ht in the question as viewed in that section. We were told that tbe comuuin belief was that many in Vandeleur school section are assefsi'd higher than ihojo in some other parts, and so their ta.\es would be unduly raised by the School. It the assessment is not right tbe manifestly correct plan is to ap- peal against it, but a man who does nut know the valuation of other pro(>erties beside his own is not in a position to gauge tbe fairness of his rating. This emphasizes tho need for that which The Advance has often advocated, the publishing of tho Assessment Roll in some form, that things may be righted. It is not expected that the Assessor is intlnllible, and that is why a Court ot Revision is provided. It would make the work of tho Assessor more etlioient to publish the Roll, giving s.mieihing to work on. In this regard the policy of not letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing is not a help to the settlomijnt of disputes. A man does not care to a[ipeal on bis assessment unless he has good grounds for it, and the publish- ing of the Roll is manifestly the proper lolntiun. WANTED -A PLATFOR.VI. Tlierii are clamoringa in some parts for the reorganization of the Conservative patty of C,!inada. It is a potent fact that the Opposition at Ottawa is a lot of small "I's" â€" each man, practically, conductim{ his own little Op{x>8ition ; or, ut least, there are several would-be leaders, sever- al men who cannot he reconciled to the decision of the majority, and so they say their own little say, whether or no. The only result possible has followed, and tho Opposition has been losing in effectiveness. The retirement of the Hon. Geo. E. Foster pares tho way tor a reorganization of the dishevelled ranks of Opposition. A new platform is needed for the Conser- vative party, and until one is framed the party cannot possibly do good work, and there i.s great need tor a live Opposition. There are plenty of good, sound planks lyiiig around to make a platform capable of carrying even the heavy-weights of the party, and some, at leaat, will probably be used by the politioal carpenters to Kood advantage, and as Shakespeare or somebody said, the sooner the quicker. Since writing the above it has trans- pired that Foster will not retire. This upsets oaloulations, but the demands for reorganization may become so insistent that even Foster may be compelled to back down, May it be so. STOP THE POKER While The Advance has nothin;; per- sonally against the generation of Flesher- ton which are hovering around the lung trousers stage, yet we hate to see them inakiog a tizxle of things. It is not our place to hand out /ermons to the.sc young chaps, but it^^eems to be neidcd aU the same. lad who tried to scare another boy by barking and 8nappij(|p at his heels like a dog one dark night recently. The boy wlio was attacked smashed the supposed dog ou tbe head with a piece of iron, and he may die. It is a hard lesson for the practical joker, â-  but if he recovers it will be a lasting one, and if notâ€" well, he has brought it ou himself. An eminent French surgeon says, 'if you are threatened with ctrebro " brain or tobacco," Statistics will probably show an a- larming increase iu these diseases, but why ? Learned men appear to j be the least responsible of persons. While Hmnilton is culled the Ambitious .

Modest aren't they- but Owen Sound wa.? aye raode.'it. Nor is this all, but space forbids a more extended reference to the matter.
