An educational purist has a} heavy job on his hands if he wants to live up to his ideals. Eduâ€"‘l fcction when they should expect. the rest of the world to regard m-sir “say so” as a hundred per cent. pure. Education makes men of some people, but it spoils others. Some person has spoken of students going to college as storks and coming out as asses, and a little scrutiny leads the careful observer to believe there is some truth in the remark. If a man is fortunate enough to know a little more than his neighbors, it never adds to his influence to eternally parade his superior knowledge. It would be better to keep silent and let the public form their own iudgment. An observer of things about him has many opportunities to gain wisdom, and the silent wise man will soon be found out. and as surely respected. The say- ing may appear a little crude, but it is often well to keep the eyes and ears open and the mouth shut. Indians, from their environments, were forced to be close observers along certain lines. It became a legacy from a long line of heredity, and enabled them “_â€" xv- told of an Indian’s impression when he first examined a cow- bell. He didn’t know What to call it. but decided, on examination, it had a big mouth, a long tongue, but mighty little brains. The man who tries to impress the public with the magnitude of his own greatness, or the educationist who keeps tooting his own horn is often like the empty barrel, which makes the most sound. The ignor- amus can wag his tongue all right, hut «to get the measure of his influence he might stick his fin- ger in a pail of water, pull it out and look at the hole. {HE DURHAM CHRONICLE This war has brought back into our| months the world Liberty. which has not been much worked for a gen- eration or two. We have again be- come afraid of the oppressor on the‘ throne. We feel and may well do so , that nothing worse could happen to us than to cease to live under a Gov- ernment responsable to the people. Responsible government has been our . solution of the question of national liberty. The few must govern. for the many have to attend to business; but we hold the few responsible for results. and so control affairs ourselr ves. We have thus far realized the great truth. that liberty is the mother. of responsibility. \Ve recognize this partly but not enough. We havei established responsible government;i we must have responsible citizenship; too if we are to be rid of our oppress-l ors. The selfish, the greedy. the sloth- * ful. those who would take more than ; their share and give less: these are our: oppressors now. We must make1 ‘them feel their responsibility if they are not to be unbearable. The move- ment for universal national service is a great opportunity to make citizens of this country aware that in afree country "none of us liveth to himself” I c ( l 1 DURHAM, JANUARY 18: 1917- i'Wednesday night by his son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. George Young, of Kingston, Mich.

The best way to do this is to mark every one else. ”Every Canadian worthy of the ' name. between the ages of sixteen ' and sixty-five. should answer. con. ‘ acientiously. the questions on the cards being sent out by the Director of the National Service. The war has reached a stage where it is absolutely necessary that the Government should have the informa- tion it seeks by these cards. The ro- curing of this information is simp y a step towards mobilizing the strength of the nation, not necessarily for the firing line, but so that Canada may be able to do her share in “keeping the home fires burning,” and in supply- ing the needs of those actually in the teaches. bearing the burden and facing the perils of this war. which is as much ours as theirs. Organized labour did not welcome National Service at first. Now, how- ever, when assurances as to the pur- pose of the movement have been given by Sir Robert Borden and Mr. Bennett. Labor leaders are urging their followers to loyally respond.

IRWIN, Editor and Proprietor OUR OPPRESSOBS National Service JOHN HUNT. The remains of the late John Hunt, Whose death we referred to last week, were brought here on The family consisted of ten children, of whom the survivors are: Edwin, of McGee, Sask.; Mrs. Folkard, of Durham; dWilliam, in the States; and Mrs. Geo. Young, in Michigan. He leaves also, four- teen grandchildren and one great- granddaughter. 1 'I Thedeceased was born in Dev- onshire, England, in January, 1831. On Christmas Day, a few weeks before he was 20 years of age. he married Miss Sarah Leigh. To them three children Were born in En- gland, but two died in infaney; v 4- ---___ In 1878 the family moved to Traverston, where the deceased lived till 1899, when he came with his wif. and daughter, Elizabeth, to Durham. Mrs. Hunt died eight years ago, and the daughter four years ago. In the autumn of 1914 he went to Michigan, and resided with his daughter, Mrs. George Young, to the time of his death, which occurred after a brief ill- ness of‘a couple of \veeks’ dura- tio n. " So far is We knew the deceased, he was honorable and upright in all his dealings, a staunch mem- ber of the Methodist church, and a Liberal in politics. The West Simcoe Election With his Wife and surviving child he came to Canada in 1854. and for '24 years lived at Nassagaweya, an Indian name, We are told. which means “the dividing of the wa- ters,” on the height of land and forming a Watershed. 1 The by-election in West Simcoe on Monday resulted 1n the elec: tion of Mr. Allen, the Conservative candidate, by a majority of 631, over his opponent, Mr. Scott. The constituency was thrown' Open through the death of Hon. J. S. Duff, Minister of Agriculture in the Ontario Legislature. The ma- iority on Monday shows a reduc- tion of the majority of 1914 by more than 400, owing largely, no doubt, to the conditions in the candidature, the absence of the former candidate, who was ex- tremely pOpular, and who was supported by both, sides of politics, and also to the fact that many voters are at present in ;service oVerseas. It is needless to {say that both sides made a big pull for victory, and the Liberals were active in their efforts to repeat the results of North Perth and South-west Toronto. The re-‘ duction in Monday’s majority is ‘ not necessarily an indication of de- cay in the strength of the govern- Ement, as The Globe tries to argue. 'In 1905 Mr. Duff had a majority lof 686, and he was not a new {man and a stranger to many of gthe constituents. In the face of , such a strenuous opposition. Mr. ;Allen did well, and if he makes ", good he may yet be able to dupli- iicate the majorities of his prede- |C~C‘SSOI‘. The Debt We Owe to the Dead In the present day we are. seeinel that we must strain every nerve inl order not to be driven to make an ignoble peace. We must also re- member the debt that the living owe to those Who lie dead in France and in Flanders, because thev have laid down their lives for a gaeat cause. We must see to it that their sacrifice was not made in vain. and the only way to make sure of that is to see that the cause for which they gave their lives is carried through to success. This can be done by putting into the field all the men needed. At a. meeting held in Toronto at the Baraca. Club Bancroft Avenue. in memory of Lieutenant H. R. Gordon who lies hurried in Flanders, Mr. H. R. Gordon the father of Lieutenant Gordon said:â€" ”I have no res rets. My only sorrow is that I am not twenty vears youn er that I might go myself.” These no le words, adeqately expressing the senti- ments of all the s akers that “Hall” Gordon’s life had n an inspiration to emulate his example of quiet effect ive service to his fellowmen. Mr. Gordon in a few words at the close of the evening said:â€"“I think the reason so many have gone from here ‘is because from Sunday to Sunday we ghave told the boys the Gospel of the igrace of God and the grert truth of self-sacrifice”. There is a feeling that comes to us‘ all in our best moments that it would 4 be almost treachery to hold back now and let the sacrifice of such men count for nothing. This means a loud call to , eligable men not to let 1917 get older before they volunteer for their country’s service. Recruiting omces are found within easy reach of any part of our county.

Every recruit will be given an opportunity to qualify for stripes, and as no appoint- ments have as yet been made, everyone stands an equal chance. Naturally, those who join up early have some advantage, for the benefit of their longer training will help them materially.

It is interesting to note in this connection that Major Rorke, commanding officer of the 248th, started his military career some years ago as a bugler in this band. . Lieut. M'.E.H. Kelley is now on ma strength as an officer. his transfer from the Canadian Mount- ed Rifles having just recently been approved at Ottawa. Lieut. Kelley has been doing valuable recruiting work for the battalion, being in charge of the recruiting depot in his home town, Markdale. Appointments to the battalion now pending are those of Lieut. J. L. Yule, formerly organist of Di- vision street Presbyterian church, Owen Sound, and Lieut. Korman of Hanover. These two officers have been recommended to Headquart- ers for commissions by Major ‘Rorke, and they are already as- sisting in recruiting. Recruiting is speeding up with the 218th Greys. Christmas brought in a. «good batch of recruits and many 3thers throughout the county have signified their intention of enlisting innuediately after the turn oF the Year. From present indications J2m- umry is expected to be a lively month for recruiting. The 1000 League is gaining splend- idly in popularity. Many more citi- zens have signed the pledge under~ taking to secure a recruit each for the Battalion. There are now several hundred who have pledged them selves to “Each One Get One” The re- sult of the enthusiasm of these public spirited citizens is already showing itselt’ to a marked degree in recruiting ‘ and also in the general sentiment to-3 ward enlistment in Grey County. Are there not a few more of our read- ers. not yet “1000 Leaguers” Willing , to pledge themselves to “Get One” for l the 248th Greys. Major Rorke, Officer Commanding the Battalion would like to hear from anyone willing to help.

Waste of time for the sake of the four dollars a day indemnity is one of the charges. It is stated the whole work could be done in two days, but the council drew pay for the whole week. From this sourcc alone The Sun figures out a loss to the county of $1920 a year. ‘made up by paying each of the ‘40 members for 12 days each that they should not be there.
