Mr. L‘avergne= says the Quebec elec- tions are due to the attitude of the Borden government on the navy ques- tion. The Nationalists, oflended would not play or vote straight. Or the peo- ple have wearied of the Nationalists agitation and want no more of it? Is not that the situation? Kingston The Whig is right. The unholy alliance has opened the eyes of the people of the Dominion. The hand- writing is on the wall and when the opportunity presents itself, the elec- torate will condemn the combination with no uncertain sound. The venerable sherifi of Northumber- land and Durham, Sherifi Proctor, is forced to resign. It was either that or receive the axe. The charge against him was inattention to duty. The same charge could be preferred again8t the attorney-general and with more reason and appropriate- nessâ€"Kingston Whig. Gray hairs of efiicxcn 'vice are not considered in the mad rush of hungry office seekers for positions or the desire of the politicians to ap- pease their appetites. The wholesale decapitation of government oficials in Canada is a disgrace to a civiliz- ed country. The spectacle - of the aged states- man, Sir Charles Tupper, conveying his dead wife across the ocean to her last resting place in Nova Scotia is a} pathetic one. In 1900, immediately ‘atter the general election, Sir Sharles resolved to \relinquish the leadership of the Conservative party. Before he gave that news to the world, he sent a telegram to his wife, who was in Winnipeg, Saying: "51 intend to re- aign’the leadership and devote the rest of my life to you.” This mes- sage was from a grand old man, whose present bereavement and ocean vigil will excite the sympathy of all his countrymen- Canadians of all shades of politics admire the venerable statesman who has decided to spend the remaining days of his life in his beloved coun- ' The Kingston Whig, in referring to‘ the execution of Richeson, a. fallen clergyman, for a heinous murder, states that: “"he fall of a preacher is particul- arlv regretted, and for the reason that-more is expected from him than Office. We don’t care whether you are ready to buy your Spring Suit now or notâ€"we want our splendid clothes to have a chance to make an impression on your mind. They’ll certainly do their work well. if you will step in for a look at the choice New Spring and Summer Models. We like to have callers come in and get acquainted with “what’s cw,” we will not urge you to buy for this is not a store that “annoys.” You see these prices, or similar ones have been quoted so long by nearly every clothing house that the only way we can convince you of the superiority of our clothes is to “show you.” Showing is proof posx- tive, and so we Sly again, “we’ll be glad to show you, Sir !” A PATHEIIC SPECTACLE . HOUZER THE TIDE IS TURNING A BABIEABLE SYSTEM RICHESON’S FATE Proprietors Wililam St. GOOD CLOTHES HATS AND TOGGERY from the ordinary individual. -JRich- eson’s early training was good; his college life was inspiring; he got from his teachers and associates in the highest calling, the counsel that he needed; he formed, at the outset of his profession, the acquaintance of a pure young woman, whom he misled and ruined and cruelly poisoned when he could not conceive of any other way of getting rid of her; he raved after and showed some evidence of a troubled conscience, yet he did not at any time appear to be insane and ir- responsible for his iniquity.” It was natural that friends should interest themselves in his case, and that they should exhaust their efiorts in seeking to save his unsavory life, but it was lamentable in the extreme and repugnant to most people, that there was the usual exhibit of mand- lin sympathy in the flowers some people sent to his cell or death cham- Capital punishment is inflicted for a double purpose, (1) that justice may be done, that a heinous crime may be atoned for, and (2) that a distact warning may be given against the depravity of human nature. The Church does not sufler because of Richeson’s fall. It held before him the highest ideals. It will hold them before others. It will still be the re- presentative of all that is noble and true and good in life and character, and it must continue as a great ifi- fluence in the world through its mem- bers, and occasionally its ministers fail in their responsibility. Unfortunately, there are some peo- ple who will point to this clergyman’s downfall with a sneer, and unblush- ingly insinuate that he is only one of others who, under the guise of a religious garb, lead lives. that are far from ediiying. Richeson’s down- fall only goes to prove the weakness of human nature and that those whose lives should be made for oth- ers to emulate and follow, are often subject to the greatest temptations. In the Toronto police court a few days ago an unfortunate got a Cenâ€" tral prison term for cruelly assault- ing his wife. It was the same old story of over indulgence in liquor, and the slave to the besetting sin of intemperence asked the police why they did not arrest him before he committed the murderous dssault. “I should have been arrested in the mid- dle oi the week,” he said. commenting on 7 the case an ex- change truthfully says :â€"“It is per- haps unfair to blame the police. They can scarcely be expected to arrest a man until he does something to war- rant arrest. And yet there is some- thiog to be said from the man’s view point. When society tolerates condit- ions that lead to murderous assaults, society cannot hold itself entirely nlameless for such assaults. Moreov- er there is the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of gure. Experience is constantly show ing that it is cheaper, safer, better, and more satisfactory in every way to prevent crimes than to punish criminals.” REMOVE THE CONDITIONS In cases like this, and they are too numerous, the only éolution is the abolition of the conditions that lead to them. Mr. Howell’s broad, pro- gressive temperance policy, the main plank of which is the aholition of the bar, if approved by the people of this province, will deter many from committing crime and elevate the mo- ral tone of the country. Col. Denison, of Toronto the other day referred to William Lyon Mac- kenzie as a “cantankerous and quar- relsome little cad." He may have been cantankerous, whatever that has come to mean, and he certainly kept up a splendid quarrel with some of the evils which existed in his day; but he was no cad. Or if he were, then the pity is that Canada has not been more generously supplied with cads. It is too late in the day to dispose of the character and services of a man like William Lyon Mac- kenzie by calling him names.â€"Wood- stock Review. The criticism which is being meted out to the Colonel is well deserved. If ever rebellion was justified it was in 1837. Canada at that time was ruled from Downing street and the compact at the head of afiairs in this country at that time manifested not the slightest interest in its welfare. We may thank in a great measure, William Lyon Mackenzie {or the privileges we enjOy to.day. Walter Thoroughgood, a Toronto married man, was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary, a. few (1in ago for killing an Italian proprietor of a 'pool room with a cue. Judge Katchford, in imposiog sentence said: 9"There is little form of amusement provided for the young geople 0: (ur city, with the result that v fre- quent saloons, salacious t‘Jc .tr :3 nd pool rooms. ” Fortunate, indeed is the young man who has vauired the art of amusing himself or of finding amusement in a way that is free from danger to him- The same conditions exist right here in Lindsay, insofar us he- ‘thiul amusement and recreation Hr our young men is concerned.

The commission form of municipal government which originated in Gal- veston in 1901, is making rapid head- way in the United States. Houston followed Galveston's example in 1905 in 1907 nine cities responded to the new idea, and there are now 207 cit- ies in the United States operating un- der some form. of commission govern. ment. The movement’s greatest vogue continues in the central west. Accord- ing to .a table prepared by the engin- eering News, the northwestern group (Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyom- ing and Montana) leads with fiftyâ€" iour cities and ' the southwestern group followes with fifty. The largest city which has yet assayed the exper- iment is Oakland, California, with a population of 150,174.

Perhaps you have noticed that‘ your daughter in her “teens” has de- veloped a fitful temper, is restless, and excitable. That she complains of weakness and depression, feels tired out after a little exertion, appetite Variable, complains of headaches and is growing pale. In that Case remem- ber that the march of time is lead- ing on to her womanhood and that at this period a great responsibility rests upon mothers. These are symp- toms of anaemiaâ€"that is bloodless- ness, and no time should be lost in increasing and enriching the blood supply. Unhealthy girlhood almost always leads to unhealthy woman- hood. All young girls in their teens need the help of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which enrich and increase the blood supply, and give sickly, droop- ing girls the brightness and charm of perfect health. In proof of this Miss Zola Gordier, Morrisburg, Ont., says: “I was pale and bloodless and sufiered from the many symptoms of anaemia. I would tire easily. and suf- fered frOm frequent headaches. My appetite was ’poor andI was very pale and easily discouraged. The me- dicine I was taking did not seem to help me, and then one day I read the story of a young girl who suffered si- milarly and was cured through the use of Dr. Williams’ fink Pills. I got three boxes of the” pills and started to take them. Before they were done I began to feel better and look bet- ter. Then I got half a dozen more boxes, and before they were all used 1 was enjoying the best of health and have continued to do so since. My young brother was troubled with rheumatism and they completely cur- ed him.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or can be had by mail at 50 centsa box or six boxes for $2.58 from the Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co. Brockville, Ont. The outlook is not really as dis- mal as Mr. Wells paints it: argues the Hamilton Spectator. Trade un- ionism has taught the workman the strength of combination, and he has employed it efiectively, in promoting and conserving his interests. Socialâ€" ism has sought to array class against class, and a large proportion of the workingmen have unthinkingly accepted its dogma; but they are beginning to find out how illusory and chimerical is the millennium it dangles before its devotees, while whatever there is of genuine value in its principles is being incorporat- ed into the practice of great cor- porations and the di1ta of the ac- cepted political economy. A very few have begun to absorb the liberâ€" tine fiarings of syndicalism, but the In a series of articles in the Lon- don Daily Mail, Mr. H. G. Wells takâ€" es 3. very gloomy View of the con- dition and sggirit of British labor. “The temper of labor,” he says. “has changed altogether in the last twenty or thirty years. The old workman did quarrel very vigorous- ly with his specific employer, but he never set out to arraign all em- ployers. The workman is filled with distrust, the most demoralizihg of all social influences." LINDSAY MARBLE‘iWORKS mhride-st.

ROOFING A London correspondent of the Tel- egraph, discussing Home Rule and the prospects of the Asquith govern- ment, writes as follows: “Things here are pretty quiet at present, and the Home Rule bill looks like going through. It doesn’t seem as if anything could get the government out of power for the next two or three years, and there is well authenticated talk of a. deal with the Unionists to let it through the House of Lords, with certain amendâ€" ments, next year, after a formal re- jection this year. As a. matter of fact the surprisiog thing is that nobody here seems to take any interest in it. There is no enthusiasm either for or against it in England, and it is looked on as almost a forgone con- clusion. The Ulster Opposition is confined entirely to Belfast and even there is largely machine made.” This disposes of the silly despatches sent out quoting Unionist newspapers which have made much of the disturb- ance over the Irish question, and which have been used to convince the country that the A8quith government is doomed and that the Irish meas- ure can only be carried at the cost of civil war. It looks at present as if the government would live long, if only because of the inaptitude and lack: E E WWWHWWW+W . \' +:.+ +2+:+ +5 ib+lԤvQ-§h-O 9‘! .O“ 4» WW3 W+~=+4+ WWWW+¢ ++++ ++++++ 6‘ Spratt ASQUITH'S STRENGTH We have all we best varieizes seed purpases.

Examining the Quebec alecti-n re- turns the Montreal "rIerald says: “The political history of the Pro- vince of Quebec has been, in the main, one of local government in sympathy with the central government at Ot- tawa. There are indications that this time considerable numbers of voters have deliberately adopted the con. trary idea. It is complained by Con- servative candidates, for example, that the English vote in the rural districts went almost solidly ior the Liberal candidates, whereas in the dominion election it went almost as solidly for the other way. But the English vote is not of itself sufficient to account for what happened. There must have been other influences ten- ding in the same direction." The situation is easily explained, and the results afiord very little com- fort for the Borden forces. They are losing ground rapidly and the coun- try will cast them off at the next e1- ection. Principal Wetzel, oi the Trenton (N. J.) High School, has issued an order that no girl graduate's gown shall cost more than $10. No diploma will be given to a pupil who disobeys the rule. The Montreal Gazette says "the master is likely to be condemned by the mothers who dress their fifteen year old daughters up like young women, which they are not. On the other hand, he will earn the, grati- tude of the modest and those not gifted with a surplus of money. Which may reconcile him to the condemna- tion." Many a young girl has been spoiled in her youth by a thoughtless moth- er who inculcated the spirit of vanity by dressing her li' ea fashion plate. The abolition of the barroom is? strongly advocated ‘by Evelyn Man crae, the new prOprietor and pub- lisher of the Canadian Churchman, in the initial issue under his man- agement. He announces his stand- ing editorially and says that this is; going to be his constant attitude in his paper. He recounts the steps taken by the synod of Toronto dioâ€" cese from 1907 on, as well as the ob- jective set by the general synod for the Church of England in Canadaâ€"â€" namely the abolition of the barroom from this dominion, and he gives four reasons for its abolition; the facts that it is a useless institution, that it is of no economic vazue to society, that it is hated and tabooed by all good citizens, and that it’ is the home and shelter of the treat- ing system. a p... ~ ,.~-.--‘ nu... ... a»... ..-..
