A_- f Political.corruption is regarded as a. game; it is a damning sin by which the conscience of the people is paralyzedfi The other day a marks- man made an ‘outer’ and bribed the marker to report a bullseye. He was detected- and promptly expelled. from the Rifle Association; but the elders of the churchcan go out with money: and bribe the people in whose hands are the destinies of the country and if found out are excused as having done it in a moment of weakness. This vice must be stopped or the nation will go down to destruction as other nations have gone. It, is driving good men out of Canadian public life. I can remember when the selection of a candidate dependâ€" ed on his ability to carry on the great afi‘airs of the country. Is he a man of integrity '? To-day the questions are: ‘How long is his purse ? What is his local influence ‘? Is he the sort of man that can get fa cinch on the government ?’ I knew a. candidate who told his own party that he would prosecute the first man he found using money in his interests. That candidate is not in public life today. He was not de- feated but he was thrown overboard by his own party in manipulated convention. A cabinet minister said to me: ‘We do not like corruption but our men get excited and use money with- out our knowledge. ’ “v v..- When I told Premier Ross today that I was trying to elevate. the po- litical ideas of the people, he said: ‘ You have a big contract. ’ I have but there is no moral reform unless‘ inspired by a religious motive. In this country we have not the moral sentiment.‘ with regard to polli- cal purity and the enforcement of law that they have, in_Englaod. A inw- _\'er convicted of bribery there was sentenced to penitentiary for 7 years. (Yould you g‘Ct a Canadian jury to act. that way?

Reeve McLean said that as the eastern part) of the fence was of little or no bene- fit to the road he had deferred pail- ing the bonus until the council or- dered it. Mr. Newman said he would continue the fence westward to the swamp, if paid the bonus, Otherwise, he Would not. ‘ Council said the matter was in the matter was in the hands of the reeve, but nobody could expect a man to pay for a fence where drifts occured only, and lean: the rail fence in the shaded places On motion of Mess-rs. Hickson and Best, the bonus was paid on condi- dition that Mr. Newman extend the wire fence all the way eastward. Mr. Hickson reported work done for sundry patrons of Drain No. 1. amounting to $90.75, and the clerk Was on motion instructed to send the accounts to the persons couccm- ed, that they may pay them rather than leave them on the collector's roll of next year with interest. Messrs. Carlin and Trainor asked council to supply 550 5-inch tile for east road ditch on the 5th con. line ‘w-v --.. eat lots 7 and 8. so that the ditch might be filled and a winter road formed. Mr. Owen Carlin offered to draw the tile and do the work. The request; was granted on motion of Messrs. Best and Coulter. Mr. P.
