Tliuraton - Editor TRUTH BEFORE FAVOR - PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN LOTS OF WATER-LITTLE LIGHT Some (leople in this neighberhood are so perfectly henitless at to suggest, and even afhrm, that our Police Trustees are the biggest jokes on record^that they draw their pay (') and let it go at that, not caring particularly whether school keejis or not. The Advance is not pre- pared to i;o to audi s length as that ; but it does seem as though something should be done by the Trustees to tap the par- ticular body of water which overflows the road at the south of the town. Several years igo a tile drain was laid to carry off '.he surplus water at this point, but it docs not appear to pive sat- isfaction and requires frequent cleaniuK. Alino.st constantly since the snow disap- peared has the water lain in a great pool on both sides of the road and completely covered it. The fault appears to be in the drain, and if so, should be remedied at once. A surface drain is in slight danger of being choked up, and would apiiear to be the better style for the place. The Police Trustees might per- form a good work, which would .send their n.'inies down to posterity along with â-  ho.se who laid the cement sidewalks and peifurraed other great public works here, if they were lo lake up this matter and push it to a successful issue. Another matter which might well be looked lifter is ttiat of placing a street liyht or two where they would beiiebt the .'iidcwalk through the swamp at this point. On an 6rdinary night the sidewalk there is so dnrk as to bo absolutely dangerous. A single mis-step would drop one into the "diink " by the roadside, and those who know llif spot know best what that iin- plirs. The Aiivance will give the Police Trustee.s the names of people who aie | ri'^kdy to assist in iiiNtalling a light if the village will but pty the luaintuiiunce, as it has a perfect right. Now, Trustees, The Advance has pointed this out before, but no move has been made. Surely you have sufficient interest in your ofiice to do what ia plainly a necessity. A move in the right direction would be highly ap- preciated by both vilL-iaei-s and those who live in the southern suburbs. loss of the merchanU of Dundalk. Tl at's gratitude, isn't it! The town of Dundalk as a whole is bound to suffer. There's nothing else for it. Private houses may tike boarders, restaurants spring up, and church sheds be thrown open, but the loss of well-con- ducted hostelries cannot be made up en- tirely by any such makeshifts. Flesher- ton, however, will feel the bene6t of this dog-in-the njanger action of the hotelmen, which h.ns placed them where they are beyond all sympathy. Travsllers will " hit " this place wiih its two home-like and excellent hotels to spend the night, and farmers will drift in in still greater numbers lo buy from our merchants â€" where there is ample stable room .tt very reasonable rates and unlimited shed room. "It's a poor wind, " as Josh Bil- lings said, "that blows nowhar. " In spite of any pesuniary beue6ts Flesherton may derive, we cannot but regret the unsportsman and child-like tantrums of the hotel proprietor* to the south of us, who cut off their nose to spiteâ€" not their faces alone â€" but the faces of their friends, among others. MURDER INCREASING The awful frequency of murders .tnd murder triaKi in our province cannot be longer ignored. At no period in its his- tory has there been so much crime in the pruvince as in the past lew years. It is not long since several murderers were saved from i he gallows after having been tried and found guilty by a jury of level- headed gentlemen chosen for the purpi s •. Is it not logical then lo regard the lament- able increase in this terrible crime as a logical sequel tn the pardoning of convic- ted criminals ? There may be some doubt as to the right of one man to take the life of another, even in punishment. We are not at present prepared to give an opininu, but when murder is punishable by the death sentence it is making light of the law to commute it to even life imprison- ment. In our belief it is very unwise (though possioly more humane) to defeat the end of the law by exercising executive clemency. The convicted murderer lies in his cell for months, resigned to his fate and awaiting the end, and then when his neck is almost tickling with the hempen noose a reprieve comes, and he must lie for weeks more awaiting â€" the end, or a proliiiiged imprisonment, he knows nut which. Between hope and despair his agony may only be imagined. Thi.s.then, is our reason for saying that it is only iMssiBLVtho humane course. We cannot truly judge. The Advance believes the present fre- quency of murder to ho largely the out- come of iho pardoning of several murder- era last fall ; and that while the individu- al case iiiay have much to commend it for mercy, yet the case must not be con- sidoiod on its own merits alone. Its bearing on other cases is one of the most important matters to be considered, and ao long as the death penalty is on the Statute books it should be enforced when the circuinslancos demand it, though pity may cry for clemency. AN OLD MAN'S FOLLY For the past several months a grizzled old roan, over seventy-one years of sge, has been toiling across this continent. The self-assigned task is one to appal the nerve of even a young man, but ia simply remarkable for one of such advanced age. But after all, what'u the use. When he completed the task he had lost more thin he could possibly gain. He has lost physically â€"put himself under a severe stiainâ€" and all for ,i mere bauble. His wonderful feat (for it is wonderful, though foolish) will be remem- bered for a few short days, only then to be eclipsed by a man who runs ten miles in fast lime, or a great win for the base- ball team. Then when Edward Payson Weston has woim hiunelf out in a foolish tramp of months he is forg-itten and will rest in oblivion , until the few remaining years of his life have run thoir course â€" ihen his memory will be recalled, (inly to sink deeper from the minds uf men. There is a futility about it all ivhicU makes the old inut's jaunt a pathetic one. That ho m.iy not regret the folly of his later days is our worst wish for him, CANADIAN ATHLETES ON TOP It is gratifying to observe the success of Canadian athletes in the United States. A boy came all the way from Nova Scotia to Boston a week or so ago, and, in e.ira- petilion with some of the best runners in the States, romped off with the tirst prize. Canadians also won all the other prizes, save one, in this big race, the record for which is held by Tom Longboat, the l^nandaga " has been." On Saturday Hans Holmer of Halifax bi-oke the world'.s record for fifteen miles at Buffilo in com petition with the best 15- milers of th* States and the former world's champion, also a Canuck. Geo. Goulding, the Toroirto walker, has repeatedly walked rings around the fastest walkers of the States. Other instances could be given, but this is sutiicieut to show that good ath- letes thrive 'nealh the maple. Cana3a has no shame for her athletic status, nor need she have. THESE HOTELMEN POOR LOSERS The actions I'f the Dundalk hoteln.en in the recent local option fight single them out as a hunch of pitiably poor losers. They had the hearty support of a num- ber of the business men, and while the merchants weixs working for iheiii were " hiiil fellows, well met." liiii the by- law WJH carried, over the heads of the ' Rtiti " workers, and the hotelmen Uirn fail and bile the hund that fed them (that's Irish) â€" and bond themselves to close np their hostohies, and keep than closed, thus killing the town in so f;ir aa they haul power.

Their work ii largely a labor of love, and is appreciated by a host of readers every week.

Mr. Massey was the first president of the Massey-Harris Company. - The death of Tommy McArthy at San Francisco as a result of a prize fight will probably do more to kill the sport (°?) than all the newspaper aud pulpit sermons in Christendom . It is a drastic lesson, but probably the more impressive for its tragic side. There are many other sports to engage in, from checkers to baseball, and if personal trials of strength and skill are demanded, wrestling is all right, but prize fighting, never. The item on the local page, refer- ring to the record of Mr. Fisher's cows aud hens, points a moral in a quiet way. How many farmers are there in this neighborhood who keep records of their stock ? We know of one far- mer who keeps such a record, but only one. System is J ust aa necessary on the farm as it is in business. If other of our readers keep records of their stock and poultry The Advance will be pleased to hear from them, aud to publish interesting items. The merry ha ha is on Owen Sound and other newspapers, which were mightily perturbed over a strange light, observed in a field one night near Oweu Sound. All imaginablff'^ theories were advanced â€" in fact many vastly beyond the power of common mortal's ken were advanced â€" to ex- plain away the mystery. How- ever the bubble has been pricked. The mystic light was simply a powers ^ul bicycle lamp, which had a perfectly legitimate excuse for its presence in the field. Now the county town newspapers will have to drop their tales of mystery aud go to sleep again.
