Splendid Addresses From Gillespie and Conant. To hold a political meeting in wartimes without talking politics is a feat of which to be proud. The annual meeting of West Durham Liberal Association was held in the Council Council Room on Friday afternoon with Mr.A. j. Reynolds in the chair, and Mr. W. R. Allin acting as Secretary, After election of officers an organization speech was delivered by Mr. Geo. A. Gillespie, Gillespie, M.P.P., of Peterboro, who emphasized emphasized the advisability of having the organization organization complete in every detail so as to be in readiness when the Hearst Government sent out the call for battle which maybe sooner than many think. Whenever the call came they are favored with having a leader who is the peer of any public man in the Province. Mr. Gordon D. Conant, Oshawa's Chief Magistrate, and a young Liberal whose star is already in the ascendant, gave the speech of the occasion. Besides being President of the Young Liberal Club Federation Federation Association, Mayor Conant has the distinction of being a member of the Federal Federal Liberal Advisory Committee'. He told of meeting Sir Wilfred Laurier in Ottawa Ottawa recently and'said how well he was looking. Although getting older m years he was still youthful in spirit. He also eulogized Sir Wilfred for his demand that the Government must be honest and efficient efficient during the continuance of this war. He said the Government issued a call to the country to economize and to increase production production to meet war conditions. Yet he had not heard of any retrenchment on the part of the Government; indeed, several ew appointments have been made. He regretted to see the unholy alliance of Con servatives and Nationalists. Laurier s great life effort was to harmonize the whole French race with the English. He considered it an honor and a privilege to be a Liberal to-day when Britain is at war, for the principlè of liberty and righteous- He dealt at some length with Canada's part in the war and how the financta .position will be affected after it is over. It .will take half of the revenue to pay the interest interest on the public debt. Speaking o : the means likely to be adopted to increase 'the revenue, he held that men that have wealth should v be expected to pay a larger share. Liberals are not down hearted and and will face the country's problems with courage. Mr. Conant closed a-really capital capital speech without saying a harsh word of this Government party and said "I'll do my part. You do yours." Mr. W. L. Smith, Liberal candidate in the last Provincial election, spoke briefly on the condition of Ontario after the war and asked for a strong man to represent West Durham when the time came. The public debt will circle round $7 per head. Tariff will haveto be increased and farmers farmers must not be disappointed if prices for farm products rule lower for a time after the war ceases. He predicted that Ontario is not far from a general election and gave his reasons. A resolution of continued confidence in Sir Wilfred Laurier, Liberal Leader in the Dominion, was moved by Mr. W. J Bragg and sec nded by Mr. Frank Allin and carried carried unanimously. Mr. John Baker, moved Pascoe seconded a similar confidence in Mr. Newton Provincial Liberal Leader. Mr. Baker said he felt it a great honor to follow a gentleman of such high character character and distinguished ability and approved approved heartily of his leadership The resolution resolution was carried with great applause. Mr. Thos. Baker gave some sane advice in respect to choice of a good candidate and how to stand by him after he accepts the task of standard-bearer. It was decided to call a riding convention convention in June. The following officers were elected: President--A. J. Reynolds, Solina. Vice Presidents: Darlington, H. J. Werry; Clarke, Geo.

OPTOMETRIST- GRAHAM'S VISIT His Skilful Work Much Appreciated Mr. F. A. Graham, the well-known eye specialist, has come and gone. The ten days spent with Mr. Mitchell at Rod. M MitcheLSc Co s drug store were busy days, indeed. So great was the rush of people who wished to consult this eminent optician optician that it was almost impossible to giye the needed careful attention to the many patients who came for advice and help. While a large business was done, the object of Mr. Graham's visit was primarily primarily to give Mr. Mitchel, who is now an optician of ability, a course in the use of the Retinoscope which is simply the science of "looking into the eye" and with this little instrument locate the defects. Before taking on the course Mr. Mitchell, we understan . carefully investigated the methods used by the leading specialists in Toronto, Montreal, and New York, anc was convinced that, without exception Retinoscopy was practised by the best men in the profession. Mr. Graham much pleased with the progress made in this study by the genial proprietor of the Post Office Pharmacy. Those who know Mr. Mitchell's Scotch perseverance and thoroughness will readily believe that, having put his hand to the optical end of his business, he will never turn back till it has been brought to the highest standard.
