Evidently the Telescope finds itself in much the same position as the village gossip at the weekly meeting of the Chatter-and-Stitch Club when they gathered to‘pre- pan the autograph quilt and donate the proceeds to the furtherance of their “goodwill toward men” pro- gramme. “Now, I wouldn’t for a minute say any- thing against her, and I hope you ladies’ll not let it go any further, but if I cared to speakâ€"well, perhaps I’d better not say any more. But, believe me, she’s some stepper when she cuts loose, but I Would be the last one to say a word about it.” Like the old lady, no doubt the Telescope thinks it has quite a lot on Durham, but does not care to say what, for fear of the civil war it may start between the two towns. ongwmjnm tering. Is this correct? We think not?" According to our reasoning the first decade _ of this century com- menced on January 1, 1901, encrusted until Decem- ber 31, 191°.- The third'demdg 91 this ‘centnrg, th'e For the past few months the furniture industry of Canada has been rather hard hit, the cause being the dumping of the cheaper Southern United States furniture on the Canadian market. Behind this the cause would seem to be the neglect of the Dominion Government officials to enforce the anti-dumping act. . This is quite a common contention, and this same question can get one into a lot of argument. A little research will clear the matter up. The first century started on the first day of the year 1 and ended on the last day of the year IOWA-little further reason- ing will show that the twentieth century commenced on the first day of January, 1901, and will end on,tho last day of December, 2090. Business in the United States has fallen off to an alarming extent and it is said that not less than eight million men and women are out of employment. This means that there is no sale for a lot of the commodities manufactured in that country, and among them furniture. This is now being dumped on the Canadian market and apparently no attempt is being made to stop it. i Another question. Commencing with the tWen- tieth century, what decade are we in now? We have seen reference in newspapers around the beginning of this year about the ‘fn_e_w’-’ uecade we were now an In the meantime, both Durham and Walkerton are going to get along just as they always did. It takes more than a hockey game and a couple of child- ish write-ups to mar good feelings. The Telescope need have no fear. There will be no civil war. But it would have been a great deal betterhad the Telscope said nothing about the matter in its last issue, or else admitted that perhaps it had been misinformed. Tho Telescope’s fear of stirring up animosities, and the desire to keep peace up in this section is about five weeks late. No doubt its excuse sounds genuine to itself but in our Opinion it is the bunk and sounds like so much fertilizer. We are not going to get into any political arguo ment over the matter, but the next time you see a closed down furniture factory or one that is running on part time, place the blame for this condition where it belongs. It is about time~our government at Ottawa woke up to the fact that it has a duty to per~. form for Canadian workmen and manufacturers, and closed the bars to this unfair competition. Being so anxious to keep the peace between the towns, it is a wonder the Telescope did not think of this before it jumped to the inkwell a few weeks ago. It quotes the Palmerston Spectator as saying that “Papers which help to stir up dissension over sport are not helping the game,” and gives thisas its reason for being silent, or so it says. If the real truth were known, however, it might be that the Telescope now knows it overstepped itself in its libel on Durham and isn’t b'ig enough to admit it. Be that as it may, it is no concern of ours. We still feel that had the Teles~ cope been as solicitous of maintaining good feelings between towns as it now claims, it would have looked into the matter under discussion before writing what was at best a highly-colored, imaginative and mis- leading news item. Last year over nine million dollars’ worth of this furniture entered Canada . in competition with Canadian manufacturers and Canadin workmen. This may not mean much if passed over quickly but when it is known that this is sufficient output to assure steady employment for thirty-five factories the size of that in Durham, it is time to take notice. A citizen called into our sanctum the other night and asked us when the twentieth century commenced. We replied, January 1, 1901, but were told that ac- cording to one of the local school teachers the correct date was January 1,1900. There is already a duty of thirty per cent on furniture entering Canada from the States, with a further heavy duty if brought into this country and offered at what may be considered an unfair market value. The trouble seems to be not so much the amount of duty, but that the Ottawa Government winks at the “fair market value” clause in the anti-- dumping act. It is about time that something was done before our local industries are not either put out of business altogether or so seriously handicap ped that it will take them years to recover. So far as Canada is concerned, she is in really good business shape and able'to hold her own and take care of her own business depressions as they arrive. But she certainly cannot take care of tho Unfited States market as well and be prosperous her- se . duct at these games. We took no exception to this phase of the Walkerton criticism, but we did, and still do, object to the insinuation that there was anything like a riot after the game. As we stated in the “hot” editorial of which the Telescope speaks, the whole trouble was between a Walkerton fan andga Pnrham Under the heading, “Why We Did Not Reply,” the Walkerton Telescope last week gives its reasons for not answering an article which appeared in this newspaper regarding the highly-colored and mislead- ing reports in the Walkerton press of the “riot” at Durham at the close of the Walkerton-Dnrham hockey game three or four weeks ago. The Telescope has rather modified itself since it reported the mat: vâ€"vâ€"wâ€" fan, and naturallyâ€" a crowd soon collected. This did not by any means warrant the Walkerton press in howling “riot” and mistreatment. ter. It spoke last week of the conduct of a “few” of the Durham team’s supporters; in its initial report one would have thought there was a regular Donny- brook.

The Markdale boys were all bigger and Durham Elvidge (Buschlen) Durham McGirr (Elvid'ge) shade the faster, while Woods, right winger for Mgrkdale had the legs of vidge and McGirr led in goals, the former scoring four and the latter two. W. Wilson, McIlraith, Rowe and Bus- chlen got one each. For Harriston Foster at centre and Tilker on the de- fence showed up best, and Davidson in the net turned in a real game. Harriston was unable to use their star man, Pritchard, as we under- stand he had two ribs fractured in the game in Harriston last Friday. “Gully” Rocher of Listowel handled the bell, and while he let both teams away with' plenty, he came down hard when the play threatened to get away.

He and his brother, “Bill” cetrainly made it rough going for the visitor’s forwards at times and made them somewhat hesitant on rushing close in on the nets. The maiority of their shots were from outside the defence. The regu- lars all played well, although at times they seemed lost around the nets.
