Born in Dumfries, Scotland, a few miles from Dumfries {| town, where Robert Burns died, and near Ecclefechan, birthplace and last | resting place of Thomas Carlyle, he came to Canada at an early age and received nearly all his academic and professional training in Canadian schools and colleges: Barrie and St. Catharines High Schools, the Ottawa Normal School and the University of Toronto, from which he received, in coyrse, the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor and Doctor of Pedagogy. A After teaching in rural public schools, and in Orillia, Collingwood, Brantford and Whitby High Schools, and the Ottawa Normal School, he | became Public School Inspector of South Ontario, and held that position '| until he became Inspector of Contin- uation Schools, and more recently Chief Inspector of the Public and Separate Schools of Ontario. Three years ago he was elected to the Pre- sidency of the Ontario Educational Association. Dr, Waugh's residence in Whitby covered a period of about twenty years. His family received their early education here, and resided here for some years after Dr. Waugh received his appointment as Chief In- The house now occupied by was the family residence for several years until they removed to Toronto. * Dr. Waugh's ability as an orator was known far and wide, and he was regarded as one of the greatest auth- orities on education in the Province. Outside his duties in connection with the Ontario Department of Ed- ucation, which took him all over the Province, Dr. Waugh took an active interest in the Ontario College of 'Art, of which he was one of the trus- tees." He was a member of the Ma- sonic Order. \ § High Tribute Paid at Funeral On Friday afternoon Bloor Street | Presbyterian Church, 'was the scene lof an impresive service, when men and women representing many phas- es of the educational life of the Pro- vince, gathered to pay the last trib- ute to Dr. Waugh. The service fas conducted by Rev. Ir. 'a. c. Pidgeon, assisted by Rev. Canon Cody. Dr. Pidgeon, who had known Dr. Waugh intimately as his pastor, paid feeling tribute to the personal qualities of a man who, he said, had been deeply conscious of the higher realities of life. who, as Minister of Education, had been closely associated with Dr. Waugh in his professional duties, | spoke in eloquent terms of the ser- vices which the former Chief Inspec had rendered the Province. Canon Cody, ect- | but t he ho ng | men who con a, 'ort Whi on ember 1 1e belie sold, kept otherwise disposed of in Ontario, in violation of the Ontario Temperance Act. © ~The Magistrate found that there was no evidence to prove that the liquor, which was shipped here from the National Breweries, Montreal, to James McGuinness, Havana, Cuba, and transferred by him at Port Whitby, for Oswego, N. Y., was sold or intended for sale. The car containing the liquor remained here for about a month, and two Slipmenis were taken therefrom by consent of the local Customs Officer, who had sealed and locked the car and by boat to Oswego. 'time the car was here, the fact that the Customs , on its arrival here, from Havana to Oswego, and that two ments were taken therefrom on two days in Succession, led the Inspector to suspect O. T. A. Sold on, and it was on orders from the Department at Toronto that 'the seizure was made. At the trial two weeks ago it was set up James Haverson, K.C.; appearing for the shippers and consignee, that the ale was billed to'Cuba because the Canadian Railways with terminals in the United States would not accept shipments for the U.S.A., while the evidence also disclosed that a fleet of boats from Whitby had carried liquor across the lake to the United States all summer. : Magistrate wis in his decision held thaf it was not illegal transport liquor through the Province from another Provine to the United States, and also that the O. T. A. did not specify how long a consignment of liquor for shipment in this manner could remain at a Canadian port. In making the order for the return of the liquor, fifteen days stay was granted by the Court to permit of an appeal by the Province. The liquor, it was stated by the consignee after judgment was given, will be accepted at Toronto docks for immediate shipment to the United States by boat, instead of retugning same to Port Whitby. Washington will not Protest. Washington, Nov. Responsible people regretted to learn of the action of the Onfiario officials returning conficated liquor to export companies at Windsor, but declared they were powerless to make any protest or take any steps in the matter. They pointed out that the Canadian-American liquor smuggling agreement was merely a ¢o-0 five measure, providing no penalty for violation, but assured the govetnment of the co-operation of Custom officials in stamping out smuggling liquor into the United States. The action of the Windsar Magistrate, it' was said, made it necessary for the border offi of the two'governments to be all the more watchful of possible ations, but no official protest is likely to be sent from this Goyernment against the ruling of the Windsor Magistrate. - hs "ns "In all the legal discussion there are three facts that should not be overlooked :- 1. The majority of people in Ontario wish the Province to be rid of any traffic in intoxicating liquor as a beverage. 2. It is the business of the Dominion Government to do all in its power to assist the Ontario Governmnent to enforce all laws passed for the public welfare, of which the O. T. A. is one. In the words of the General Counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of America: Friendly nations should help each other to suppress outlaws who use their territory as a base for crimes against a neighbor land." Fighting Public Ownership In the United States La Follette is championing public ownership, and in a speech in New York the other day he de- clared the Ontario's Hydro-Electric System was supplying elec- tricity at one-third the price private companies were® charging United States' users. The Springfield Union combatting this quotes Mr. Floyd W. Parsons as follows: "In the Province of power rate is 32 percent. greater than the average rate in Quebec, where the electrical plants are privately owned. In the Niagara District of Ontario the charge for electricity is 11.1 mills per kilowatt-hour. In the United Statds a comparable zone supplied by Niagara Falls power the average rate for curreat is 7.65 per kilowatt-hour." One would think that in dealing with such a matter there would be no possibility of mistake, but we find it hard to get opponents of public ownership to quote the real facts concerning Ontario's great experimeénts in public ownership. In Toronto, for instance, before the Hydro-Electric came the charge to the householder was 8 cents per kilowatt hour and 25¢ per month meter rate. When the Hydro arrived the rate became 4.4 cents per kilwatt hour, and now it is 1.93 cents per kilwatt hour. The Hydro officials figure that up to 1922 Toronto had saved over $26,000,000 in its electric bills. In discussing this matter the city of Buffalo is sometimes compared with Toronto, although Toronto is 90 miles from Niagara, and Buffalo is about 25 miles; yet even so, we find that in 1922 that for lighting ser- vice Toronto paid 2.22 cents per kilowatt hour and Buffalo: paid 3.78 cents; for municipal purposes Toronto paid 1.66 cents; and Buffalo 8.24 cents; while for power and railway purposes Toronto paid 1.01 cents and Buffalo paid .76 cents; the average cost omit- ting railway power, being: Toronto, 1.26 cents and Buffalo 1.52 cents. But .16 of Toronto's charge was on capital account, which went towards the purchase of the plant, so that Toronto's real charge was 1.10 cents as against Buffalo's 1.52 cents. 'The truth is that in Buffalo the big users get their current very low, : have to pay for this; andswhen the control also the street rail- : I.

On high honor Sir Adam Beck and his efficient staff who have made is great public ownership project such a success. There is no question that public ownership has its difficulties, and it does seem hard to keep the politican's hand off the lever, and the verdict of the polls is not alawys either wise or business- like; yet surely it is a reasonable thing that a self-governing people should have something to say as to the management of ublic utilities, and the success of private ownership as applied, or instance, to railways and coal mines has not been so phenom- enal as to make public ownership an undesirable and tabooed thing. ~Christian Guardian. tario is deservedly proud of its great electric plant, and it hold in An} J. Michie, cleaning ditch, ZERAN-FORD The Osnabruck Baptist Church, made beautiful with an arch of cedar and pine, was the scene of an inter- esting wedding, on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 8 o'clock, when Alice Maude Ford, daughter of Reév, and Mrs. John Ford, was united in md¥rige to Wilfred A.

This matter is now up for discussion in Whitby Township, owing to the action of the Township Council which has taken steps to have two neglected cemeteries closed. The law in this matter is interest- ing. - Two courses were open to the town- ship in dealing with these old ceme- teries, one being clean them up, fence them and properly maintain them, and .the other was the course which has been decided upon. The solicitor of the township will now have to ap- ply to the Lieutenant-Governor of the province for permission to close the cemetries up, and if same is granted, the council must then ascertain as far as possible from the grave stones the descendants of those buried in each cemetery. They must write these persons saying that it is their inten- tion to elose the cemeteries up and asking what are their wishes. Fail- ing to hear from them they may then erect a suitable cairn, incorpo- rating the stones therein, en OO AIMS TO ENCOURAGE ORATORY Dr. James L. Hughes, of Toronto, is doing a splendid thing for the young people of this district. He has donated four prizes for oratory to be competed for yearly. The prizes will take the form of shields to be competed for as follows: One by the young people of 'Clarke Township; one by the young people of Dorlington Township; one by the County of Durham as a whole and the fourth by the young people of Oshawa, Bowmanville, Cobourg and Port Hope. The last contest will be under the auspices of the Rotary Club of the places named. These contests should stir up a lot of enthusiasm and wholesome rivalry and should prove of great benefit to all who participate in particular, and to the profit and interest of the en- tire district in general, The people generally should get be- hind and encourage our young people to enter whole heartedly into these contests. * --Oshawa Telegram.
