' X*' À laboring man came in Thursday evening and subscribed for" this family journal, -volunteering the statement that he had been induced two years ago. to take another paper to "help a girl- in a piano contest" but there is nothing to interest interest him in the sheet so he wants a paper that gives the home news and lots or it. Wonder how many others took the same nondescript sheet "just to help the girl in the piano contest?" Yes, Mr. Citizen, we agree with you that swimming baths and a gymnasium in which boys and girls can learn to swim and develop their muscles, thus gaining strength-and symmetry of body, is much to be preferred to armories. If the town council had spent that $1000 of the people's money for the general good in behalf X of the youth of Bowmanville they would not be condemned as they are being for their wanton unwisdom and extravagance. Citizens Citizens agree with us in this opinion, too, Orillia Packet very, correctly,scores the Canadian daily papers for dcvc^.wiîk ÿagës of space to the vagaries of a madman and his ill-bjlanced wife. So think we all; This style of yellow journalism should be frozen out; far better fill in the space, with some' pages from a good modern encyclopaedia; encyclopaedia; More wheat and less chaff is what people want in our daily journals. Scandal hunting and lewd sensationalism should not pollute our homes thru the daily or weekly literature. What parent wants his children fed on-such vile trash ?

Country phone holders seem to do their gossiping by phone now and the length of time some of them hold the line is very exasperating to a busy business firm. TRIO TURNED DOWN. Citizens who read our report of the last special meeting of the town council would ■naturally wonder what was really done at that meeting. One thing wàs made manifest manifest arid _ that was that His Worship Mayor Hiilier, Reeve Tait and Coun. John Percy were the only members who were, determined to saddle the ratepayers, with a; tax of 33 mills on the dollar. In cpnamittee Coun, Percy fought strongly 'fprthat_ exhorbitant rate against the protestations of other members and threatened to fesign if he could not carry his point. The result was that the majority majority of the Finance Committee favored the increase and the report recommending 33- milk was presented to Council in special session by Coun. Percy who moved its adoption, but in council seven members were present and Couns. Cornish, Grigg, Tole and Trebilcock were opposed to exceeding exceeding 30 mills, It was when attempting to introduce a reso.ution striking the rate at 30 mills that the Mayor refused to put the motion--a most arbitrary action. Bowmanville is not in Ru sia aud should not be ruled by a Czar. The excitement was so intense that the Clerk -was unable to make a proper minute of the proceedings proceedings and there is such a difference in the recollection of the members that it seems impossible now to record the minutes of the notable session. But one vote is beyond beyond all doubt that the motion to adopt the report recommending a 33 mill rate was voted down and mayor, reeve and chairman of finance were correspondingly angry. HIGH FINANCE AT AN END. The end of the reign of extravagance in this town- is now at an end.' The new council signalized its advent to power by several expenditures that would not have been made had" the 1912 council been reelected. reelected. They have done little but spend money needlessly and extravagantly since they got into power. Unnecessary trips of twos and threes to Toronto and Ottawa, Ottawa, lawyer's fees, $1000 for the "dummy yard" for armories, thousands of dollars lost on waterworks debentures, $4000 more or less extra for manholes which work should hâve been included in the waterworks contracts but was not and several other unwise or unnecessary expenditures expenditures stand to credit of the incompetent, incompetent, extravagant 1913 council. What have the bunch done since last January except mark time and run up bills. for lawyer's fées and other expenses that would never have beenheard of if the men of last year's council had been elected* for 1913. But as we have said the reign of extravagance is at an end, altho, .too late to redeem- the past waste of the people's money; because- Couns. Tole and Trebilcock refu sed to join the extravagant trio in inflicting a 33 mill rate on the town and now Mr. A. Barber Ais been elected we look for him to oppose every unnecessary unnecessary expenditure. Héls a careful man, a shrewd financier and will not be likely to follow the trio who have been guilty of initiating and forcing thru nearly every expenditure other than ordinary since this year's council came into power. Surely the electors must see by this time what a terrible blunder they made when they elected the men who have run up their taxes in a way never before known in this town.

The Globe directed attention in a leading leading editorial on the 28th instant to the general ignorance among the people of the men who hold Cabinet positions in the Ontario Government, saying with much force: "We believe that the majority of those who are asked to vote for or against a Government candidate in the bye-election--even bye-election--even indeed a majority of those who are now expected to vote for the Govern-- ment candidate -- could neither. name without suggestion all the members of the Cabinet nor mention any good reason why half of them should be retained in office." The idea the writer of this article article essays to convey is that the men occupying occupying Ontario Cabinet positions are such insignificant or mediocre men that they are not known as public men and fail to impress or to force their personality personality or individuality upon the public mind. If true, this is a serious indictment against this banner Province of the Dominion. / PEATE'S CLOTHES CLEANING CLEANING AND Dyeing. Just arrived eight Parlor Suites, from $20.00 to $50.00.

X The Kind You Haw Always Bought Bears the Signature of Mayor Hiilier and Chairinan of Finance have had much to say against the accounts rendered by the lawyers for services given during the past several years. But the citizens will have a. pretty big bill for lawyer's fees by the end ot the year, for His Worship ever since his election has hardly been able to turn round publicly without having his legal advisor at his elbow. He has been a great surprise to the people in this way, and never during any former mai or's incumbency has such a bill for legal advice and service been incurred as Mayor Hiilier and CoUn. Percy have run up for very trivial business, too, in the main. Lawyer McLean rendered one bill for, it was reported, $350 two months ago. At the August meeting an account of his was passed for $150. He has still more bills against this Corporation Corporation as the electors will learn later. More than one ex-mayor was watching the antics of the Finance Chairman, the Reeve and Mayor regarding the 33 mill tax rate they tried to force on the rater payers knowing that it is à violation of the Statutes to levy a" higher rate for municipal purposes than 20 mills in addition addition to school.and other rates and had the council adopted the Finance Committees' recommendation for 33 mills there would quickly have been some doings municipally. municipally. But some friend or friends gave the matter away by assuring the h : gh-rafe solons that there is a law against such an exhorbitant levy as they were trying to-- force upon the citizens. In their dilemma Mayor Hiilier and Chairman of Finance Percy,: it is alleged, again ' consulted Lawyer McLean who told them they could not exceed 30 mills this year legally and so the town has to pay for another legal opinion-that already was well known to his predecessors. A bill for $ 140 was passed at last council meeting for a legal opinion and we are wondering if a like amount will be charged against the town for being told by. a lawyer what these councillors should have known; Truly they are a "bunch of business bunglers", but the regrettable feature of the whole affair is that ratepayers have to pay for their bungling. Other legal expenses have been incurred running into hundreds and possibly.thousands in connection with rights of way, . water ^ works by-laws, contracts; etc., about which the council: have not yet informed thè u people. ; just "bide a wee" and cheer up for. the "worst isito come yet." iX-y-X-XX.--' Bowmanville Citizens are Proud of Last Year's Splendid Work. It has been a great delight and satisfaction: satisfaction: the past several weeks to read in The James Papers of the splendid success of pupils of Bowmanville High School at the Departmental examinations. Their success has been remarkable. Parents who contemplate giving their children a High School training, and more particularly particularly those whose children succeeded in passing the recent entrance exams, should plan to have them attend at Bowmanville for-there is every -reason for believing that under the present efficient staff of .teachers*pripils will fare as well here in the examinations as at many of the. more pretentions training schools. Get into line in patronizing home enterprise in this matter of education as in other respects, and èven to a greater and more loyal degree, degree, in as much as the training of the young in educational institutions within earshot of their own homes may be made to associate just as closely as the parents please with one of thé most important phases of child life--home training. The school is now open. See advt and High School Notes. NOTES ON THE FAIR ALBERT COLLEGE OPENING. X Are free from all etude and irritating matter. Concentrated medicine only. Carter's Little Liver .

Think of the inspiration and spirit of emulation that must be in a school of over 300 students. It is really a splendid college as shown by the large number of distinguished graduates who have gone forth from its halls. Rev. Dr. E. N. Baker, B. A., is the new Principal and he has entered upon his duties with much vigor and enthusiasm. The College Board were exceedingly fortunate in securing such a competent arid popular educationist. We can heartily heartily endorse the .appreciation editorially expressed of him in the Christian Guardian whiefrsays : Always happy and successful in his intercourse with young people, Dr. Baker is evidently eager and in earnest to maintain the noblest traditions . of Albert Albert College, which has won so eminent a place and traced so clearly distinguishable distinguishable a mark even in the ministry of the church, as well as in the homes of the people and the official positions of the country. The experience and wejl proven loyalty and ability of Dr. Dyer are to be available as Principal Emeritus for a time to theXcollege authorities, and are expected expected to be a living link In the changes now in progress.

The Board of Management of the college are looking upon the prospects with high ex- pectâtioris land resolves. / X ; X 1 Invite your friends in Toronto and other towns to visit the Fair Sept, 17.
