Mr. Robinette may also argue an appeal upon the ground that not alone the confession made to InSpec« tor Reburn before his arrest, but the confession also made immediately at- terwards to Constable Welsh which was admitted at the trial, should have been excluded as being induced by the earlier and inadmissable state- the C.P.R. to Port McNico-ll. This will give a much improved service, and direct connections with the Torâ€" onto to Montreal line can then be made. It is the intention next spring to put on special fast trains from Port McNicoll to Montreal and re- turn, to make direct connections with the C.P.R. boat service. LINDSAY’S CONTRIBUTION Lindsay, or properly speamng, Vic- toria. County, would contribute the 45th Regiment (about 300 men) to this footing. The 45th would be a part of the 9th Infantry Brigade with an aggregate strength of about 1000 men. ”Toronto would contribute 2,500 there being three city regiments, each 500 strong, and four rural corps, fully 1000 strong.

The residue of combatants would, if required, be formed into awkward squads, and trained as quickly as possible. ONE WEAKNESS “We would have one perceptible weakness in an emergency call for deâ€" fence, and that is in our supply of infantry rifles. The artillery branch of the service has now modern guns. Artillery and infantry, however, have plenty of ammunition and camp equipment. Considerable comment has been heard on the streets during the past few days concerning the statement made that a strong recommendation for mercy accompanied the verdict of the jury in the Ellis murder case. few days concerning the statement This morning, however, in conver- made that a strong recommendation satiOn with a member of the jury, a for mercy accompanied the verdict of reporter was informed that a, strong the jury in the Ellis murder case. recommendation for mercy accom- A Post representative was informed panied the verdict.

OOALING SEATIONS “One reason for expecting invasion, should the blaze in the Balkans spread, is that on our Atlantic coast at Cape Breton, and our Pacific coast, at Vancouver Island, are un- 1n the portion of the Province not now covered by local option laws the sale of liquor in hotels either over the bar or for consumption in the dining room or the guests’ bedrooms would be prohibited. The prohibition would extend also to the sale and consumption of liquor in clubs. There would still be two ways by which_li- quor could be obtained legitimately; by purchase in the liquor shops for consumption elsewhere than on the premises, and by direct importation from outside for personal use. It would Still be open to the residents of any municipality to supplement the prohibition of sale over the bar by a local option law directed against sale in licensed shops. That would undoubtedly be the line of work to which the temperance or- ganizations would direct their ener- gies were the Liberal policy to be- come law. The outstanding feature of the Liberal policy is the swam“; .A‘ the open bar with'its manifold temp- and over again that their policy; is not intended to supersede the "local option law, but to supplement it. The eEeCt of the adoption of the Liberal poliCy would be to leave the “dry” area. of the Province as it is, except that the sale of liquor in clubs would be prohibited as well as its sale in hotels and shops.

In fact, in- vading vessels codld ride at anchor over the spot, on either coast from which the coal is being mined. To capture and hold possession of our coast coal mines would be a great temptation to a foe of Great Britain. STRATEGIC RAILWAYS “Another reason for invasion would be the control of the coast terminals of the Intercolonial and Canadian [Pa- cific railways, the lines that form a strategic route between the occiden- ed. By voting for a candidate pledg- ed unequivocally to the abolition of the bar the electors of East Middle- sex will be helping their less fortun- ate fellows in other parts of the Province, where it has not been pos- sible to secure the threeâ€"fifths ma- jority now required to close the bars. A vote for Sutherland is a Vote against the bar room, and a Vote for Neely, so long as he stands as the candidate of the present Government On its announced policy, is a vote for the open bar.

She had a splendid memory and was a pleasing conversatioual-ist, and many are the incidents she has related of the struggles of the early pioneers in hewing out their homes ‘for themselves in the virgin forests 10f this part of the province. She ‘was a true daughter of Erin â€"â€" true ‘to the faith of her forefathers, and retaining all the virtues of Celtic womanhood.

The deceased was in his 26th year and was a young man of good qualities and gave much promé ise of useful citizenship, but in his health and strength he was called away.
