Owen Sound’s tax rate is 27 mills for 1913, ‘an inérease of 2 mills over this year. A move is on foot to have the town incor- porated as a city. Owing to the increased valuation for county as- sessment purposes, there‘ is a growing desire for separation from the county. With a sufficient population to don the city garbi. the desire to do so is a laudable ambition, but the new robe may prove an expensive luxury. A family of ten children rang- ing in age from fifteen years to ‘ eighteen months were burned to death in their home in St. Bern- ard Quebec. The :parents were at a party and on returning about midnight found the house in flames. Frantic efforts were made by the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Gravel, but to no pur- pose, and in horrible agong they were eye-witnesses to the loss of their home and family whose pit- eous cries for help they were unâ€" "able to respond to. It was with fmuch difficulty the neighbors kept lthe distracted parents from rush- ing into the flames. We had a pleasant trip on Mrm Kelly’s auto to the fair at Price-; ville on Friday last. Not a single horse seemed to pay any atten- tion to un, and we have to con- clude that before long few com- plaints will be made against the .“devil wagon.” It’s a great com- ‘fort to go out in an auto. One may go fast or slow, up or down hill, and have no feeling for suf- fering horse flesh. Most of us know how painful it is to ride be- hind a tired horse. The auto, in ' good working order, gives no such ‘ feeling. Mr. Kelly’s machine is a ' great hill climber, and Mr. Kelly is a good careful man at ~ the wheel.

The Hon Mackenzie King and Hon} 600'. P. Graham accompanied Sir Wilfrid and large enthusiastic meetings were held in the skating rink with an overflow meeting in the town hall at «which all the speakers appeared and delivered, addresses. ‘ It is estimated that the rink will hold five thousand and the hall about six hundred. Both buildings were packed to the doors and many, we understandN were unable to gain admiittance. ' Sir Wilfrid always .draws a crowd and this being his first appearance in Mt. Forest, the large attendance was no surprise. Exr-ursion‘trains carrying large numbers were run from Owen Soiqd. Durham, Guelph and other points on the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways. Fitting receptions were given the delegation by the Reform As- sociaiion and an address of wel- come given the ex-Premier. The meetings'were addressed by Hon. Mackenzie King, Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier and Hon Geo. P. Graham. All of Whom spoke in laudatory terms of Sir Wilfrid’s administration and denounced Mr. Borden for his de- lay in the past year, especially re- garding‘ his pronouncement on the naval policy. Hon. Mackenzie King, according' to our estimate. delivered the best and fist forcible speech of the evening. He is a fluent speaker,l and the various points in his ar-‘1 gument follow in natural sequence. 7 Sir Wilfrid’s address was not up: to what we expected. This was‘ the first time we ever saw or heard him, and perhaps we have been expecting too much. His ad- dress. however, was good, but when we remember that Sir Wil- frid is getting to be an old man, we must not expect the force and eloquence of his more vigorous days. As an orator, he is gener- ally conceded to hold the first place in Canada, and no doubt he has few superiors, if he has any. Mr. Graham was no doubt reâ€" garded by many as the speaker of the evening. He was certain- ly the best entertainer, but his ad- dress was not so convincing as that of either at the other speak- ers. ’ The views expressed by the difâ€" ‘ ferent speakers were not the opin- ions we would prefer from 'a po- litical plarform, nor do we think, as they 'prefess to think, that the majority, of the electors would re- verse the decision of a year ago if they had a chance to vote over again. Apart from his politics ev- eryone, we think, should respect the men who have risen to the highest honors the country can be- *stow.
