Doug. Fairbanks, the famous movie actor, has nothing on the youthful “Doug” Cooper when it comes to pulling real “thrillers,” so local spectators think who saw his unconsciously staged feat of a few days ago, says The Paisley Advocate. fI‘o ride for a distance of over a mile on the running-board of a carâ€" asleepâ€"â€"and without falling off, is some stunt, but is nevertheless the youngster last Saturday. During the afternoon, Douglas who is only three years of age, probably think- ing that a running-board is a good place to have a nap, climbed up on Mr. J. LOgies car which was standâ€" ing on the street and promptly went to sleep When Mr. Logie stepped into his car from the opposite side some time later he was quite unâ€" aware that he had a passenger on board, and immediately set off on a trip to the country. As the car passed Stark’s mill, some men, no- ticing the unusual sight, tried to stop him, but the driver did not hear their shouts. Not gntil he was about to "step on the juice” to make the cemetery hill did he hear or see any- thing out of the ordinary, when sud- denly a plaintive cry came from “somewhere”â€"and leaning over the side he was astounded to find none other than Dougâ€"wery much awake by this time, but quite safe and sound, imploring to be taken inside! The youngster was transferred to a car going to town and safely depos- ited at the home of his parents. \Vhile this incident ended happily the chances are that Douglas has had enough of such experiences and will hereafter look for a bed that is not likely to move when he feels like taking an afternoon siesta. THREE-YEAR-OLD PAISLEY CHILD RODE MILE 0N RUNNINGâ€"BOARD It is small wonder that the Dur- ham Council and citizens generally were up in arms when the rumor went around town that between thir- ty and forty had been “pinched” by the town constable for infractions of the Motor Vehicles Act and called a special meeting, which dismissed that official from office. It is need- less for The Chronicle to say that there was absolutely no foundation for the rumor that went around town or the one carried to Chesley by the advertising committee of that place. Constable Blood, so far as we can learn, has never been in Durham in an official capacity and the informaâ€" tions laid by the Durham Town Conâ€" stable this year against motorists numbered only eight. Dame Rumor certainly plays hob with the truth when she starts out to advertise. LIVE NEWS PRO]! GHESLBY! The following is from The Chesley Enterprise: ”â€"v- “Several of our citizens were in Durham last Saturday night adverâ€" tising the 3rd of June celebration here. They inform us that no fewer than 71 drivers of autos received summonses from Provincial Consta- ble Blood of Walkerton for neglect- ing to keep the tail lights of their cars lighted. This should be a warning to autoists who visit Ches- ley on June 3. Constable Blood is also said to have blood in his eye for the bootlegger, Whom he is trying to run out of the country.” LATEST NEWSPAPER “THRILLER” COMES FROM BRACBBRIDGB In the way of newspaper “thrillers’ this one by Mr. E. F. Stephenson, in the 50th anniversary of the Brace- bridge Gaztete takes the cake: New‘sâ€"' paper men accustom themselves to summarizing, but sometimes these summaries are drawn so fine as to leave the reader no wiser than when he commenced reading the article to which reference is made. I am reminded of this by the difficulty a publisher of the north got into a few years ago. He told of a man being treed by wolves. After keep- ing the man up a tree for several hours they came back, bringing with them two large beavers, who com- menced cutting down the tree. 'The story stepped there. The next day an angry subscriber came into the editor’s office ' and demanded that his paper he “stOpped’? at once. He Said: “My wife did not sleep a wink last night. You did not say what happened when the beavers cut down the tree.” The editor yawned and said: “Perh s I did leave too; much to the ima ination. The fact is that when the tree began to rock the man toppled it over into a large. green hemlock, built a bed of the branches and went to sleep. In the morning the wolves had disappeared. after having had a feast-on,the beavers.” . â€" - ‘ W m,mum 65 PAGE TWO k” Dempsey has some t9 Eur- ..That. is- obyelqsive egdence abut-v C. vâ€"â€"â€" aace has 8'1?!inâ€" ovvcr there.-â€"| Mr. Fieldingzâ€"JMy hon. friend has no authority for that statement; I may tell him, he is mistaken.

The Minister of Fnance went to the convention a contestant for the leadership of the party. “What is to he thought ot'the miâ€" croscopic reductions made here in relation to the pledge of the Liberal party, a pledge endorsed by the pres- ent Minister of Finance himself ‘2” asked Mr. Meighen. fl Mr. Meighenzâ€"I accept the Minis- ter’s word-without the slightest res- ervation, but I fancy that this was the first time, after hon. gentlemen opposite have been in power for five months, that any one in this country outside the walls of that convention knew that the present Minister of Finance dissented from the tarifl‘ plank of the Liberal platform. ’ Mr. Fieldingzâ€"gMy Rt. Hon. friend is the first person to make that state- ment, and I therefore new correct it. Mr, Fielding :â€"â€"M.y Rt. Hon. friend is hardly correct, but we shall deal W ith that later. Hon. W. S. Fielding’s open repudi- ation of the Liberal fiscal policy last week: caused a sensation in Parlia- ment unequalled in many years. For a Finance Minister to openly declare that he never accepted or bad faith in his party’s policy is unprecedent- ed in Canadian history. The repudi- ation came during the speech of the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen on the budâ€" get who, drawing the attention of Parliament to the Liberal fiscal pol- icy- as presented to the people, and the failure of the Government to im- plement its promises. Mr. Meighenzâ€"I was only follow- ing the words of the hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) who was there. But if the Minisetr of Finance differed from the platform of the Liberal party, and refused to be bound by it if returned to power, it was his duty distinctly to say so, to state wherein he disagreed with the platform, to make his position perfectly plain so that no one might be deceived. Here is a Finance Minister, who for three years has been in reality leader Of his party, Openly acknowâ€" ledging that, he never intended to give effect to his party’s pledges. vvv _ _ _ I OUR OTTAWA LETTER t What are the facts? The Liberal party in a great convention in 1919 in Ottawa formulated a policy and selected a leader. Mr. Fielding was there. He was a member of the committee that drafted the platform; he was a candidate for the leader- ship. When the fiscal policy was presented to the convention and ad- Opted, he made no protest. Two hours afterward he presented a re- solution. on reciprocity and gave ut- terance to these high sentiments: “I claim sincerity as a great thing: in politics, and so it should be. Pol-i itics is not a mere game; it should not be a mere game. Unless there is at the bottom of it a conviction that a man is doing that which he be- lieves to be right; unless there is a conviction that the policy that he has before him is good for the coun- try, then it is a poor, miserable game carried on for the sake of power.” , Noble sentiments, but Mr. Field- ing, according to his own confession had deliberately deceived the Liberal party and the country on the fiscal issue. What is more remarkable is that, as he admits, disagreeing from his party, the next day he made 1a strong bid for the leadership, and thus gave full approval to the then policy adopted. What more callous regard for political morality was his subsequent remark (after his de- feat for the leadership) that “plat- forms were made to get in on and not to stand on.” Mr. Fielding has justified his own statement that politics “is a poor, miserable game, carried on for the sake of power.” But there is stronger evidence of To [investors , git; ( f"- ‘ « .V ' :fififl? ‘ ‘ )“V' \ ffé‘ri’ If}? ’9. LIVINGSTONâ€"KUBHNBR (Hanover Post.) A very pretty summer wedding was solemnized in the Hanover Meâ€"- thodist Church on Wednesday, June 7, at high noon, when Anna Mary, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kuehner, was married to Mr. Harold Stanley Livingston, of the Royal Bank, Elmira, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wlilliam A. Livingston of Bentinck Township. Rev. R. A. Facey officiating. The bride was very lovely in a graceful gown of white canton crepe and radium lace. Her bridal veil was arranged in Russian coronet fashion and she carried a shower bouquet of sweetheart roses and lily-of-Lhe-valley. She was es- corted to the altar by her father and attended by Miss Adeline Schaefer, of Guelph, as bridesmaid, becoming- ly gowned in orchid canton crepe and large black hat, and carrying an armful of Killarney roses. Mr. Brig- ham Livingston of Toronto, brother of the groom, was best man, and the ushers were Mr. Gordon Schroeder, Mr. Gordon Rapp, MI". Harold Boett- ger and Mr. James Craig. Mrs. Wil- liam Ruttle presided at the organ and Miss Dorothy Engel of Detroit, wearing periwinkle canton crepe, sang very charmingly “O Promise Me” and “Because.” After the cere- mony, a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, the house being a profusion of flowers, the dining-room decorations being carried out entirely in pink and white. Later, the bride and groom‘ ‘left for Montreal and other points; the bride travelling in a costume of navy blue tr'icotine and blue taffeta hat. The bride has lived in Hanover all her life and has many close friends. She will be particularly gmissed in the Methodist Church, iwhere she was pipe organist for sev- eral years and closely connected with the different young people’s or- ganizations. In her musical cap-a- city she was always willing to help, and her place will not be easily fill- ed. Mr. Livingston was at one time a popular member of the staff of the Royal Bank in Hanover. Mr. and Mrs. Livingston will reside in El- mira. “And the Liberal party hereby pledges itself to implement by legis- lation the provisions of this resolu- tion when returned to power.” Some members of the resolution committee objected to this pledge, but others pointed to the failure to give effect to their policy after the former convention of 1894 and know- ing he was going to do the same with the one made in 1919. The facts are that Mr. Fielding by word and deed subscribed to the Liberal fiscal policy in 1919 and that he has by his own admission never believed in it, nor never intended to give any effect to it. Mr. Fielding’s duplicity. some at his associates at the Liberal conven- tion declare that on the resolutions committee he accepted the fiscal pol- icy he now repudiates. One goes so far as to say that the greater part of the resolution was written by Mr. Fielding. This is the last clause of the fiscal pledge now repudiated. It’s what we learn after we think we know it all that counts.â€"Kingâ€" tain Rates.” Aha! more berth con- trol.â€"Brandon Sun.
