MQ‘EEAEEE‘NEEQEO- DURHAM CHRONICLE Durham, June nth, 1903. The decisiun of tlw Royal Commis- sion in the Gamey charges was made public last week. It was not eXpeL-ted by anyum- that a verdict of "guilty” would he brought in against Mr. Stat- ton. but the most sanguine supporter of the Ross Government would hardly dare to thgnk a high member of the J uciriary would assume a pleading at- titude, in the fare of all the evidence, 1 to so fully exonerate the accused mem- i ber. Everybody knows there was a ot of crooked swearing. and that the whole interested outfit was guilty of. duplieity is easy of belief. However. crooked (lamey may be, the public are not fools enough to to think hisl evidence wholly Worthless just be 'ause l Frank Slllivan says so. Surely the l “('an't you forget something ” episode | must still be. regarded as a stain on * J. R. Stratton‘s political linen. and it, is doubtful if an honest member of hisl own party ran be found to pronounce i I him Wholly innocent. ‘ .HH'HX.\L|HTI(‘- )umxxrzss.

WINDOW ADVERTISING. ‘ ‘ It is not our purpose to advertise one business man to the detriment of another, but we may be permitted to suggest that some have the knack of doing much in the line of window advertising. Take almost any town and notice the contrast made by dis- play windows in the difierent shops. A neat,tastily arranged window holds out an invitation to the town VlBitOl', while the other window with its jumbled up heterogeneous heap of all ‘sorts and conditions of things, is l quite as repulsive as the other is in- viting. Let any person take a visit to a strange town or city. and we’ll venture to say that he doesn’t go along the street in search of a store of the latter class in which to do hisl Q trading. Not much, on the otheri ‘ hand in nine cases out of ten the, store that puts on a good inviting outside appearance is the one most likely to catch the trade. It pays to advertise by keeping windows nicely dressed, and a well displayed news- ‘more convincing than one that’s jumbled together in any way at all. 1But to get a well displayed ad.. the {editor tells The Man on the Street 1 that it is necessary to have it proper- Uuuv At -- “â€"v-~‘--_v ly written, not too crowded, and in P‘ the printer’s hands in good time. It’s f‘ a great mistake for a business man. he says, to leave his ad. off to the ‘ last moment. Newspaper space is worth money, but the exact amount 0 it’s worth to the advertiser depends u largely upon the use he makes of it. 3, THE BOXER TROUBLE. a It was not our intention to refer f. again to the Chinaman’s assault case i1 ; to which we briefly hinted last week '1 ias being in progress when we went 8 to press. We usually try as far as lpossible to withhold the names of zboys who may happen to forget §themselves and overstep the bounds .of decency. Our opinion is that ex- { ,posure in such matters is not the C ébest means of effecting a moral re- 1 storm. In some cases it makes very ‘ §little difierence whether the names I 1 are given or not so far as the individ- E , ual culprits are concerned. but in all 1 iwell-regulated families there are re- 1 l spectable relatives for whom a kindly 1 lsympathy may impel one to be as 7 secret as possible. The case in ques- 3 tion lasted nearly all day Wednesday '{of last week, and Mayor McIntyre’s verdict of a two dollars and costs in . one case and five dollars and costs in , i the other meets with general approv- ‘1 al. \Ve heard only the evidence for . the prosecution, and the sworn state- ;ments of Mrs. McArthur and Miss 'Fraser, who were eye witnesses to the affray, were clear and convincing. Notwithstanding the fact that some of the defence and their sympathisers I express the Opinion that “ women should mind their own business.” we ; feel that Mrs. McArthur was perfecto a ly right in pursuing the course she “did. We did not hear the evidence it ‘ of the defence, and for this reason . we are not prepared to give an opin. t ion as to the justice of the magi strate’s decision. We hope, however, , '. ' that the case may have a salutery‘ N , influence on the morals of the town. \\'e have no sympathy with any kind (1 of rowdyism, and w have often given it as our opinion, coth verbally and in print, that our town authorities u, ‘ are too lax in dealing with such mat- ,n i ters. Women, as well as men, have 1 a right to “mind their own business.” and if it isn’t the business of any one to put down disturbance we would ‘-A n t I c W V‘ CY - 1d THE m ON THE STREET. like some one to explain the proper course to pursue in such cases.

By the report of Council proceed- ings last week the general' citizen learned that the petition of the rate- ipayers along the south of Lambton iSt. was uncermoniously refused by lour town fathers. This is a strange [proceeding and demands investiga-1 gtion. It is true the Statute allows‘ gthe Council to grant or refuse the‘ {prayer of any petition for local im- ! provements, but our legislators when gframing the Statute doubtless lthought that no ratepayers of any Ontario towrf would ever be fools enough to pay the whole cost of such improvements without the outlay of a single cent by the’ general ratepay- er. 'How sadly mistaken they were is proven by our experience. Our ratepayers are defraying the whole L101 WASTE POW. Pu One of our brightest young ladies made the remark a few days ago that l a certain young man, who just hap- 51G: pened to pass, wasted a great deal of force in bowing so superbly to his: lady friends. The remark set me‘ thinking. and a few of my “ thinks ” may be blocked off in this wise. At’ the present day force seems to be the predominant factor in civilization. It used to be “ Knowledge is power ” but now it is “Force is power.” The forces of nature are being harnessed . by man to develop power so that in the physical world at any rate it has lbecome literally true that force is _ power. The transmutation of mere force into power is the problem of g the hour. All over the earth the { work )8 going on. Forces that have been going to waste since the dawn l l l l l l l I of creation are now made to contrib- ute to the reduction of man’s burdens and otherwise minister to his wants. Now, a Lord Cromer builds an Asson- an Dam and transforms the latent forces of the mighty Nile into mov- ing machinery and growing wheat. Then, a Nikola Tesla invents a straight bar magnet and forthwith 4 makes possible the transmission of ‘ the hitherto waste forces of a lViagara . Falls for hundreds of miles and then ' conversion into heat, light and motor power. Here, the genius of a Clergue directs the moving energies of a St. . Marie Rapids to powerful turbines ' which furnish power to reduce the. u native oreâ€"impregnated rock to steel rails. There, a Marconi or a Menlo Park wizard controls the bid- den forces of air or ether, and by ingenious contrivances accomplishes many marvellous feats in telephony and wireless telegraphy hitherto con- sidered impossible. In this way the major waste forces of nature are be- ing utilized for manufacturing, loco- motion and other purposes, and; happy is the patentee of a machine: r or device by which this process can" ,. be cheapened or simplified. But? 3 there are many minor forces alll 0 around us that await developmentfl and the attention of amateur inven-l tors is directed to the untold fortunes! which lie hidden in the adaptation of these forces to sundry uses. A few ‘ of these 1 shall indicate merely by* t' way of suggestion. Just here an" if) American writer comes to my aid,: :e and though in lighter vein than If intended in this article, 1 shall quote a few of his paragraphs to point a' moral in another direction and toi r, show how others regard the waste; -y forces of the world. He says "Ifl n. the quick, jerky motion the young, 1d men affect when tipping their hats to; an their lady acquaintances could be§ 1,1 utilized it would furnish power for 11% es catapult that would send every circus Lt- performer in the country clear‘ ve through the canvas in search of a"; ” $200 prize comet. The time wastedl ne by young ladies in preparing their; lti toilets that they may make a sensa- ; »er tion on the street would give threeiI days extra “grace” to every out-i standing liability in the world. The gentle swaying to and fro of the fan ge. by the women of the world, if bar- of n‘essed into one grand hurricane, At would set every wind mill in creation yet running at such a lively rate that all up; the corn and wheat could be ground er. into flour by them. The smoke from ty. cigars and cigarettes that is now is mingled with the air to its great is detriment, if condensed and used, :he would smoke all the bacon Chicago 108 and Cincinnati cure. The continual )ed stream of beer. gin and whiskey that re- is pouring down the throats of our .‘hel young men would turn all the Water er, wheels in creation.” I may add that Llld if this last could be utilized there .ire would be no need to tap the great we waterfalls of the world to transform the water energy into electrical energy. ing We should then have Spirit-ual will energy. direct and undiluted. And not so. he might have continued, for the ms. breath wasted in whistling without (sumo? a tune, the steady rise and [all of the maternal slipper upon the young hopefuls of the land. the turning of the gates on their hinges as Augustus and Arabella fondly lean upon them, and many other such wasted forces. Above and beyond all these. however. what a precious lot of living force is wickedly wasted by the idle loafers who these spring days lazily back in the balmy sunshine of a southern doorstep when they should be busily engaged in some productive labor. Carlyle once suggested that the Gov- ernment set apart three days each year to shoot all men who were too lazy to work and thus save the coun- ,try their board and the expense of Ltheir quarrels. The plan may be cynically harsh, but it would seem to be the only way to get rid of a lot of useless baggage. .he: r353 luauâ€"egos; From one of the largest Seed Houses in Britain per S.
