MacFARILANE co. )HS lt H Ins DRUG It may indeed be useless to trust that the ballot boxes to be used on the 25th of January may be legitimate and that on that day a free and unstifled vote may be cast. But the weariness has almost worn off and the dawn of a new day may be nearer than some think. No one can reflect ('zllmly 0n the fact that the. administration and enforce- ment of criminal justice has become, such a farce that in this province there are men walking about who have been reported by the Election judges for corrupt practices and who have never heard from the Provincial law officers and, in one case at least, have furnish- ed an agent for a Cabinet Minister. It may be useless to hope that the “Minnie D ” shall never again he al- lowed to sail with a cargo of pluggers so long as the Attorney General (lis- dains the occupation of policeman. if purity of elections is one of the great problems, then the Premier’s advice may be taken in a sense which he did not mean. “It was time the “people should direct themselves to “those problems.” The Premier need not be anxious to save the electorate of Ontario from weariness, but in his cynicism he may be right. It may be practically use- less to hope for better things so long as the Liberal party are in control of the Provincial Elections. The election cmnpnign is going on briskly. and both czuulidates in this ('nllallillt‘llf‘y. are said to he working hard for success. “'0 noticed. by the Review. last week. that the Liberal candidate, Mr. McKechnie, is just the kind of man that is wanted. and, with self satisfied assurance, that political oracle has him elected by a handsome majority. Mr. Ramage is likely to learn. on the night of the 25th of this month, that he’s a huge failure as a. political guesser, yet , his rash con- clusions of the past don’t seem to teach him anything. As far as Mr. McKech- nie is concerned, we have no fault to find. We are not going to belittle the gentleman’s ability, nor say anything to traduce the character of a man, so well known as he is. It’s not Mr. Mc- Kechnie the people of this riding have to fight against, it is not the Liberal candidates in the diflerent constitu- encies that the people of this Province have now to reckon with, Racism in thegreat and growing evil that calls for destruction at the of enhan- est elm aim Meme How is it, so many life long Liberals are coming out boldly in condemnation of the Ross Government? How is it, that clergymen who never took an active part in politics, feel it a duty, now, to condem the rascalities that have recently been exposed, in connection with the election frauds? How is it, that pronounced Liberal newspapers, have the boldness to speak out manfully, against the pres- ent Ontario Administration? There is no word of regret for things as the Premier admitted at Napanee, done by Liberals for the benefit of the party. It is simply because the Ross Gov- ernment is mtten to the core, and every right thinking man is disgusted with the methods they employ, to keep themselves in power. . How is it, that the sanctity of the ballot is interfered with, and no one is punished? St. Paul intending to press forward to place and power and to forget crimes and innnoralities without repeating of them? Instead he says he desires f‘that the “people of this country should not “weary themselves by talking over “and discussing that which was prac- “tically useless.” Ash BOOKSELLERS. h]. \Vhy it would pnsy m to nelp keep the cold re time get them at. it. There is prevalent idea in the gen- eral public mind that Firemen are reckless and dissolute. There are very few Firemen who are void of conscioutious regard of duty and its responsibilites, the majority being men of sterling qualities of mind and heart, responding to every call made upon them from motives of the high or order. A man may not be permit ted to choose his lot in this world. but he may transmute its conditions into spiritual qualities. such as fidel- ’ty.uprightness and honor. Let us now put our hearts into the work and by being faithful and earnest prove to the public that we ,can do [that which is expected of us. We have here in this town very good fire fighting appliances, and are able to do good work; but we have no established system of fire alarm and if something is not done soon it may be a serious matter for the town. This is something that should be attended to at once. Look at To- ronto and Baltimore with two of the best systems on the American Conti- nent. Toronto in a few hours had fourteen acres of the commercial sec tion laid wasce. the total loss being estimated at thirteen million dollars. All this was caused by a tiny wire irnp<~rfectly insulated. Again, we take the Baltimore fire. ln thirty minutes from the time the first alarm was sent in the fire was beyond the firemen’s control. Baltimore had four hundred and salty firemen, ‘24 steam engines, and 8 Hook and Lad der trucks at work. There came from other cities 771 firemen, 24 steam en- gines, and Other appliances. and yet in 24 hours the conflagration had travelled over 149 acres. deatroying 86 blocks. despite the gallant hght put up by the combined forces. Here we see the necessity for a good alarm system: Not only that but a good supply of water is an ab- solute necessity. Having both of these we would certainly be able to put up a pretty good fight. A good way to have the water supply would be to have wells dug at convenient places on the river bank with pipes laid from the bed of the river to sup- ply these wells ii there was any wat- er in the river at all This would be far ahead of those platforms, for. if the water were low or frozen over the suction hose would not work at all from the platforms This system is being advocated in towns in the United States where they have no waterworks but creeks run through. When a topic of this nature be- comes one of study it Opens a wide field for our sober consideration. I realize my own inability to present it as it should be done I might say here, I do not believe that there are any men of any occupation who so appreciate the meaning of the word “Duty” as Volunteer Fire fighters It is part of their daily life to be ready for the call. I do say not en- ough attention has been given to the volunteer branch of the Fire-fighting Army. The men in the service work for the love and excitement of it and are as valiant in their efiorts to pro- tect property from fire as those of fully paid departments are. Fire duty is too serious a matter to enter into carelessly as some do. The com- munity depends on them for protec- tion, and the member who fails for lack of knowledge is an injury to the service to which he belongs. A Fire Department to-day has more or less efficiency according to the training of its members. the harmony of their association and their adaptability to the service required of them. The best firemen are. as a. rule, born fire men, and in many cases descendants from some of the Old firemen of the past whose deeds of heroism and de- votion to duty form one of the most inspiring pages in the history of our country. fire :' “A wooden structure representing an Open room 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 10 feet high. having at one end a chimney 3.3 feet high was erected. The interior at the structure was covered with a thick coat of pitch pine tar mixed with turpentine. To this'was stuck a quantitv of papers. and over all gasoline and kerosne oil were thrown in liberal quantities. At a word from Assistant Chief Mur- phy the papers were ignited and the building was ablaze in a flash. It made a roaring hot fire which quick- ly drove the spectators back to a res- pectful distance. The flames ascend- ed the chimney and poured out of the top in waves of fire. The fire was allowed to burn until it had gained a good headwav. and the entire struc- ture was a seething mass when at a signal from Chief Murphy the dem- onstator advanced close to the burn- ing building and scattered the drv powder called ‘Kilfyre’ over the flames. The e‘fiect was instantane- ous. The fire was simply outclassed and surrendered.” Ademonstretion given in Buffalo under direction of Chief McConnell of the Fire Department was thus de- scribed in “The Bufialo Courier”:â€" I may here mention about a very handy article that is for sale now.

I might say in closing this address that if we perform our duties as laid down in the Constitution, we will have done our duty and should re- ceive the praise of all fair minded people, and our work will be crowned with success which invariably follows honest endeavors and constant appli- cation to the work which is ours.

It requires but 212 degrees of heat to convert water into steam and when it reaches a temperature of 1470 degrees the steam is thrown in- to its natural gases which makes, instead of subduing fire, the most in- tense heat. So you will see that Streams of the largest and solidest character require longer time to con vert it into steam; then it reduces the temperature and makes its mark. There are several other things I might mention but they would be of little use to the Department at pres- ent. There is one thing I want to see done and it must be carried out with- out fail. That is when the brigade is called out to a fire (and let us hope it will be a long time) the foremen of the hose-reels or their asaietants must see that none but our own men handle the play pipes. While we get loyal support from many of the citizens there is always a gang who want to run the show. This kind of work has got to stop as there is al- ways some one ready to find fault. This we may expect. as nearly every place has the same trouble. I caution every fireman to remember that it is your own ofi‘icers you have to obey and no one else. when duty calls you. â€"10 Black Velvet Hats. â€"7 Ladies’ Bonnets. â€"Nsvy Blue Velvet with Fur. â€"Brown Plush with Mink. -Red Plush Hat. â€"Green Plush. â€"-Castor and Pale Blue Psnne Velvet. and with the guarantee that if you fee] you are not deriving benefit from the use of the Pills, after taking three boxes according to directions, you may return the 3 empty boxes, together with the 3 unopened ones, and have your money refunded.- «a By the single box the Pill: are 500.
