The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday, October 1. 19.09 Britain's Inevitable Conflict. Toronto Globe. The budget is only an incident. Dis- cussion of land taxes touches only one point in the problem. Protection or Free Trade is a phase of a far larger controversy. Lloyd-George, the Lib- erals and the Labor men are not the cause of the struggle; they are merely voices giving utterance for the moment to the passion and the hope that stir in the heart of the nation. The conflict was inevitable. Its beginning lay far back in the history of Britain’s evolu- tion into freedom. It is the agelong struggle of Privilege against Equality. And Privilege is doomed. Despite all the fine speeches about hereditary rights on the one side and the peril ‘of Socialism on the other, things as they are cannot remain. By no desert of theirs the few have been born to idle- ness and luxury. By no fault of theirs the many have been born to toil and want. The idle rich at the one end and the idle poor at the other are the extremes of a civilization that cannot endure. A century ago Burns saw the tragedy of unemployment, when, for the sake of wife and offspring, the haggard out-of-work only “ bogs a brother of the earth to give him leave to toil.” That condition cannot survive. It is doomed because it is unjust. To-day as never before in a thousand years the heart of Britian is moved as with a great tide, and the issue of it all, if British civilization is to be saved, will be a new social order in which no man shall eat bread by the sweatofauothcr man’s brow. A nation with a million paupers hovelled and hustled together in the city slums, and with a half-dozen landlords holding millions of acres of land for sheep and ral,)l)its and red deerâ€"that nation in God's world can have not peace but a sword until justice is done and the honest man has an honest chance. hat time is at hand in Britain. The present distress may wear the guise of the sword, but outwof the coming confu- sion will emerge a new Britain. Mr. Will. Crooks bears about in his body the marks of the-conflict, but in his heart is the assurance of triumph. Lloyd-George, knowing by hard experience the injus- tice of thIngs as they are, has come into the kingdom for such a time as this. Men like Asquith or Edward Grey will not turn back. If they did, others would rise and reform would go on. The con- flict is inevitablcw The storm centre is not the Budget, but the social order. Equality will win. Weeds. Canadian Farm. Weeds always have been and always will, be the bane of the farmer’s life. Local authorities, who are in a position to know, state that Ontario, as well as the Prairie Provinces, is becoming weedier each year. This is a tremendous indictment. It is well known that the ground in the grain~growing West is in- fested with every known species of weed that will grow in such a high lati- tude. This is due to the fact that the grain used for seed was drawn from the four corners of the earth, and that the purchaser was often forced to take what he could get to sow or go without a crop. One result of this is the abun- dance of that abominable post the yellow mustard or char-lock in western fields. A more persistent and damaging nuisance cannot be named. But the presence of this mustard is not confined to the West. In old Ontario the bright golden yellow of its flowers is all too common a feature of the landscape in spring and summer. Besides, thistlcs and other noxious weedsare said to be on the increase. Here is a matter which the provincial institute officials will do well to take up with rigor this coming winter. - L Local Option Campaign Opened. Last Sunday addresses were given in the Baptist, Presbyterian and Method- ist churches, bearing on the subject of local option. In the afternoon in Dick- son‘s hall a mass meeting was held and was fairly well attended. The speakers were Mr. W. H. Moore, B. A., and Rev. J. B. Kennedy, both of Toronto. Dr. Gould acted as chairman. Mr. Moore spoke on local option from a business standpoint. He said that in Canada last year $76,000,000 worth of wine, beer and whisky were consumed. This amount of money in two years would build the Grand Trunk Pacific, or would be suffici- ent to pay for the construction of six Dreadnoughts. The average barroom, the speaker said, took in each year $9,000. At a low estimate 815,000 went over the bars in Fenelon Falls annually. 1 This money would build cement walks all over town, or could be profitably used in many other ways. Mr. Moore gave other, illustrations to show that local option would "not kill business, as _ was wrongly asserted, but would have a beneficial effect. He said the advocates of the by-law were not fighting the hotels, or the hotelmen, but the bar- room. Rev. Mr. Kennedy, who was born near Dunsford, and lived there several years, took the platform at the conclusion of Mr. Moore's address. He said he had worked on the farm, and had tended bar occasionally for a relative who had a hotel at one time at Dunsford. He had travelled to Scotland and to British Columbia, and had been several years in the ministry, and thought he ought to know something of the matter under discussion. He referred to the towns of Stirling and Midland. He had a signed statement from the mayor of Midland that business never was better than it is under local option. In both these towns local option was a decided suc- cess. In the 27 municipalities in which a vote to repeal the by-law was taken last year, not one place repealed it. The majorities were increased. Booth, the Ottawa lumberman, had offered to give the city of Ottawo $20,000 if the city authorities would remove every licensed hotel within reach of his men. The local option wave was also sweep- ing over the United States, and $79,- 000,000 less was spent for liquor in the States last year than the previous one. The Yankees are not fools. Mr. Kennedy contended that it was doing a kindness to liquor sellers to put them out of business. He had nothing to say against them. The men who vote for liquor licenses are responsible for what- ever evil there is. The speaker gave several instances to prove that money formerly spent for liquor is spent for groceries, dry goods, and other necessi- ties when local option is in force, and that the effect is emphatically bene- ficial. He closed his address by urging his hearers to vote for local option in January next. Personals. Mrs. Fred Jewell left on Wednesday for a visit to her old home at Amelias- burg, Prince Edward. ‘ Miss Pearl Austin returned on Tues- day from a week’s visit to friends at Woodville. Mrs. Goulais of Lindsay spent a few days last week with her daughter, Mrs. M. W. Brandon. Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Burgess arrived home on Thursday from their weddlng trip. Mr. Harry Ball, of Lakefield, has taken a position with Mr. W. G. Barkley. Mr. Ball comes with the very best recom- mendations.

Campbell’s and Miss Washburn's, were, as usual, well attended by the ladies, who found the display of new creations for the fall and winter very interesting. The hats continue large, though several mod- els of more moderate size were shown. Velvet, fur and feathers seem to be in the lead as trimmings. Some novel effects in feather ornaments are shown. Moire and corded silk covered shapes are a new feature in the made hats for this season. FENELON FALLS BAPTIST Cannonâ€"On Sunday next, Oct. 3rd, the Pastor, Rev. A. Cooke. will begin his fifth year of min- istry at Fcnelon Falls. During the com- ing months he hopes to preach, on the last Sunday night in each month, on- some phase of local option in its relation .to our community. He will take up the subjects of local option in its relation to‘the home, the Church, the town and the nation. He will be pleased to re- ceive any questions on the subject, and endeavour to answer the same during the services. The subject for Sunday night next is: “Heroisms of Common Life.” All will be made welcome. New LOCATION FOR WATER FOUNTAIN. â€"â€"Tho council has obtained permission from the Government to place a water fountain on the government property near the road at the corner of Stanton's studio, :1 short distance south of where the tap formerly stood. Mr. John Jones is accordingly constructing a cement stand about four feet high and thirty inches wide at the base, with hood and basin, a substantial and ornamental structure, that will fill the requirements admirably. The council are to be com- mended for their action in separating the publicdrinking fountain from the watering trough for horses. in securing such a suitable site for the fountain, and for having the job done up properly while they were at it. has bought out shoemaking business, back to the Falls from Lindsay. M cKillen, with his son, Mr. David Mc- Killen, intends moving to Midland in the near future. Cmnos or Busmss.â€"--M r. A.

Barber of Bobcaygoon, preached able sermons morning and evening, Rev. W. H. A. French taking his place at Bobcaygeon. fully decorated for the occasion. Rev. The church was taste- ACCIDENTs.â€"While Mr. Thos. Ball was leading a colt to water at Mr. Frank Smitheram's on Wednesday evening last, the animal became frisky and dragged Mr. Ball over the watering trough, dis- locating his left shoulder. Mr. Ball will be laid up for two or three weeks... . . A few days ago a ladder, on which Mr. Wm. I-Ioskins of Bury’s Green was stand- ing while working, slipped outwards, and Mr. Hoskins was thrown to the floor, giving him a rather bad shaking up and breaking one of his wrists. . . .Mrs. Samuel Webster, who lives about a mile north of the Falls, had both bones of her left arm broken between the wrist and the elbow. The accident happened on Tuesday morning, when Mrs.Webstcr slipped on a frost-covered board and fell. . . . .On Tuesday night Daisy Junkin, the seven-year-old daughter of Mr. Blake Junkin, was kicked on the shoulder and face by a horse which was running loose. Her shoulder was dislocated, a. nasty gash made in her face, and two teeth knocked out. All the patients are progressing favorably. - Hunter Trial Postponed. The trial for murder of Joseph Hunter, the Bobcaygeon hotelkeeper, who shot his wife, has been traversed to the spring assizes. Justice Britton has acceded to the request of E. F. B. Johns- ton, K. 0., counsel for the defence, who asked for the delay in order to produce witnesses to testify to facts thru which it is hoped to show that Hunter is in- sane. Afildavits were presented to show that two of the prisoner‘s relatives on his mother’s side have been confined to the asylum, one dying at Mimico Asylum. - Mr. Johnston claimed Hunter’s case was similar to the Moir murder case at London. He had hen rd that Hunter had been attacked by epilepsy when a boy at school, and wanted time to gather evidence regarding this. A school teacher, now Mrs. Davey, who resides at Sault Marie, is wanted as a witness in this matter, or school mates of the accused who live at some distance. .0. Farmers in New Jersey have for years pursued a relentless war on hawks and owls, with the result that the number of these feathered residents was greatly reduced. Now agriculture is suffering from the ravages of field mic'é, which are fairly overruning the meadows, and not only eat the blades of grass, but, by burrowing under ground, destroy the roots. And the parties interested are now wishing that the owls and hawks were back. -. On Monday Edward Widows, a farmer residing a short distance west of Mill- brook, who has been suffering from nervous trouble for some time, took his own life by cutting his throat. He ac- companied his wife to the village in the morning, went into a barber's shop and was shaved, after which he went home, and upon arriving at the house committ- ed the rash act. His two littlc children and his wife‘s mother were in the house at the time. .0 The by-law to loan the Tudhope Car- riage Company of Orillia fifty thousand dollars for twenty years, without in- terest was voted on Monday, and car- ried by a majority of 741, only 22 votes being cast against it. The Board of Trade and citizens made an organized effort to get the vote out. The Messrs. Tudhope showed their faith in the citizens by proceeding with the erection of their factory as soon as the by-law was introduced in council, a month ago. and operations to replace the burned buildings are so far advanced that it is expected that carriage making will be resumed in December.
