An American who talked disloy- alty was taken out by a crowd and banged. A sympathetic paper. 1n commenting on the incident, says: “It was wrong to lynch him, but perhaps it will do him good.” We might add here that the Canadians and British are too easy and if a few of the disloyal disturbers were treated similarly it would do the rest good. The traitors should be all hanged. It would be cheaper than feeding them. GIVE RETURNED SOLDIERS A CHANCE. In every case where a returned soldier is eligible to fill a position he should get the preference. This is the view we take, in ordinary po- sitions as well as in Government vacancies. They took the chances and risks of warfare, with the understanding that they would be cared for .and that their wives and families would suffer no loss by their absence. The boys who have been fighting; during the past three years to give us at home a measure of security and comfort. are deserving of con- sideration. and we should see that they get it. Owen Sound had three auto acci- dents in one week, one of which terminated fatally, a child being the victim. Dr. Norton, the driver of the car, was exonerated by the cor- oner’s jury, which recommended care in keeping children off the street. We have no desire to uphold the conduct of reckless drivers, but in- stances are far too common where bold and daring children put them- selves in the way of danger, and it seems like a miracle that more are not injured. We know that some drivers exceed the speed limit, and if it can be shown that accidents occur under such conditions, the drivers should come in for a share of the blame. The l5-mile rate seems fast enough, and even at that speed the daring children who tempt the drivers by their antics are not safe. The drivers have a duty to observe. and so has the pub- lic. Safety depends on each doing his part. W e can easily agree with the recommendation to parents to keep the children 011‘ the streets. DURHAM CHRONICLE 1 We are told the acreage sown in fall wheat is light, owing to the scarcity of help. Production is, an} will be, needed for some time, and it is a pity that every available acre could not be used for crop of some kind. There is absolutely no dar- ger of over-production during the war, and for some years after peace is declared. So much of EurOpe has been made unfit for immediate cul- tivation that years are likely tip elapse before agricultural pursuits again become normal. During 1917 more has been produced by back- yard gardening than was ever pro- duced before. and the same thrift will be necessary for years to come. Even in peace times, it pays to have a garden. FALL'WHEAT ACREAGE IS LIGHT Are we going to keep our word? The open letter which Mr. H. J Pettypiece. of the Forest'Free Press, has written to Sir Wilfrid Laurier reveals the mental attitude of thou- sands of Liberals all over the coun- try toâ€"day. Mr. Pettypiece is a prominent Liberal, who former.y represented his constituency in the Legislature. but he condemns his old leader for opposing conscription and for insisting on a referendum in regard to that issue. Mr. Petty- piece says that he cannot support any leader who is not ready to send the promptest reinforcements to the. entrenched Canadians. and that he must therefore do everything possi- ble to secure Sir Wilfrid’s defeat in the coming contest. The writer goes so far as to accuse the Oppo- sition leader of disloyalty, disloy- alty to the country and to the greatâ€" est cause in hist::ry.â€"-T:_u-.mtn News. Thursday, September 13. 1917.

We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Daniel Edge, on Monday night in Toronto General Hospital, where she underwent an operation the previous Thursday morning and ap- peared to be doing well until Mon- day afternoon, when her heart be- came weak and she gradually sank, until nine o’clock. when the end «tame. 0n learning of a change for the worse on Monday evening, Mr. Edge engaged an auto to make the trip, and as he was about to start he learned of his wife’s death. During the night, he made the sad journey, and reached the city at an early hour on Tuesday morning. A daughter, Mary, who is attend- ing the university, was present at her mother’s death, which occurred on Monday evening at nine o’clock. Besides her sorrowing husband, she leaves a family of seven daugh- ters to mourn the death of a kind and loving mother. They are: Bessie (Mrs. W. J. Ritchie), of Glen- elg; Amy (Mrs. Thos. Firth), of Lindsay; Sarah (Mrs. W. G. Firth, of Glenelg; Maggie, at home; Mary, at Toronto University; Alix, teach» ing at Colpoy’s Bay, and Edith, teaching at Allan’s school, in Egreâ€" mont. She leaves also three broth- ers, Mr. George Binnie, of Glenelg; Mr. Thomas Binnie, of Nelson, B.C., and Rev. James Binnie, of Parry Sound; and four sisters, Mrs. W. L. Dixon of Egremont, Mrs. Thomas McG-irr of Durham, Mrs. John Weir of Egremont, and Mrs. John Bell of Glenelg. The deceased, whose maiden name was Isabel Binnie, was a daughter of the late Thomas Binnie. She was born in Roxboroshire, Scotland, in 1858. and in 1861 came to Canada with her parents and settled in Glenelg. In 1882 she was married to Mr. Daniel Edge, and to the time of her death resided on the farm now occupied by her husband. f Since last spring, she has been ailing, but no thought of immedi- ate danger was entertained until quite recently. On Wednesday of last week, she went to the hospital, with the results already stated. The remains were brought home Tuesday, and interment takes place this afternoon at Durham cemetery, her pastor, Rev. Mr. Whaley, con- ducting hte services. We referred last issue to the ill- ness of Mr. George Frape, who had been Operated on for appendicitis. The case, from the first, was consid- ered serious, but recovery was strongly hoped for and expected. H3 had been ailing only a few days, when the operation was performed on Wednesday and followed by death on Saturday evening about four o’clock. The deceased was born in Warâ€"i wickshire, England, in 1860. When“ 18 years of age, he entered the Bri- tish army, where he served 12 years eight of which he was stationed in India. In 1892 he married Mrs. Benton, and remained in England until 1905, when he came to Canada and settled in Durham, where he re- ’mained t0 the time of his death. He was engaged chiefly at the cement plant. He leaves a widow and family of' eight step-children, six sons and two daughters, as follows: William, in Birmingham, England; Mrs. An- thony Holmes and Mrs. Piquet, :n town; Harry, in Hamilton; Arthur. in Michigan; Ernest, in Illinois and Alfred, in town. Interment took place Monday af- ternoon, under the auSpices of the Canadian Order of Foresters, p-f which he was a valued member. The services at the home and grave were conducted by his pastor, Ber. Mr. Meyer, 0f the Methodist church. MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD IN PRBSBYTERIAN CHURCH SUNDAY On Sunday mornin‘r, Rev. Mr. Whaley preached an edifying ser- mon in honor of four departed members of the congregation. and wmmunity. who passed away dur- ing his absence on vacation. N: names were mentioned, and the ser- mon was general in its character. The discourse was based on the last clause of Hebrews iv:12, ‘-‘He_ being dead yet sleepeth.” The service was in memory of James Warmington and James G. Coutts, who fell in battle. and Mr. 'David Brown and 'Mrs. Charles Mofiat. who died a few wowks ago. The chair was in gm; form, and rendered excellent. mu- sic for the occasion. Mrs. T. )1. Mc- Fadden. a new addition to the choir delighted the audience with a well- rendered solo. on which we have heard many famrable comments. She has a good. cdear voice. di~r- tinct enunciation and puts soul into her singing. This. we believe, was her first public appearance in Dur- ~ham. and she left a decidedly fax-- orable impression on the large auâ€" dience. She will prove a valuabte addition to the choir. MRS. D. EDGE. GEORGE FRAPE. Anti-Conscription Outrages Centreing in Montreal.â€"According to the Montreal police, Sir Robert Borden, Baron Athelstan and Hon. Arthur Meighen were to be murdered and the Parliament Buildings des- troyed. The Montreal Star Office and the Cartierville home of its noble owner were to he dynamited, while Baron Athelstan himself was to be shot while motoring. Two of the alleged conspirators are shown, Joseph Handfield, who committed suicide when chased by a police possee at Lachute, Que., and Henri Mon- ette, alias Gerard, a companion of llandfield’s, who managed to escape. Elie Lalumiere, an anti-conscrip- tion agitator, is said to have confessed complicity. The weather is very cold for tho. time of year. Quite heavy frosts at nights has nipped the corn and gar- den stuff. Mr. John McCaul, who has spent the summer at Port MoNiooll, where he is in the employ of the C.P.R., was down last week to visit his sis. ter, and returned Monday morning to resume his duties. Harvesting is about over in these parts. Thdre were pretty good rrops of all kinds of grain, and there is no trouble to get enough potatoes for dinner his year. Rev. W.

Great excitement. prevails in the village of Rockwood over the leas- ing of some 16.000 acres in that vi- cinity by the Standard Oil Company. The first intimation that there was any suspicion of oil and gas fields near Rockwood came to light Friday when the announcement was made that the Standard had secured min- ing,r leases on this large tract of land. \Vhen Mr. Slater, chief min- erologist of the Standard Oil Com- pany. arrived in Roekwood and said that the leases had been made, the 1')<:»1,)ulaee were startled. He claims there is any amount of oil or gas there. Roekwond is about the cen- tre of the field. l.‘)rilling. it is. said. will commence immediately. The idea that oil existed in that locality is not new. As 1mg ago as 40 years men made the claim and were deemed either lunatics or sharpers. 16,000 ACRES LEASE!) BY OIL GO.
