COUNTY COUNCIL COMMITTEES WERE HERE LAST WEEK MP. George Bothwell, Reeve of Sytlo'nham. and Chairman of the (Lonnty Road and Bridge Committee, met the Reeves of Bentinck and Nor- manby last. week and ttrpgvther they decicgied to build the bridge soutli of Durham on the Town Line between the two Townships. Slippuse we grant that this is right? Then what ot' Miss Mat-phail‘s Hanover speech last week“? Miss Marphail told Jler atulienre that she tlmrnnghly agreed with a remark matte by Dr. Jamieson at the. nomin- ation to the eil'eet that any person who stirred hp race or class strife in this country should he look- ml lip. Miss Maephail was heartily in at'rnrd with this sentiment. amt in the same breath cautioned the farmers to stick together or they would be beaten and made the laugh- ing-stork ot' the town people. Was this not a "('lass” ery'.’ South Grey wants a reln-esentz‘itive who can and will represent each and every class in it. fairly and without favor. We want no lawyers simply because they are lawyers: we want no (loc- tors simply heeanso they are (loc- tors; lllll'lll) we want any other tradesmen or professional men just because they happen to belong to some partienlar elass. l'mler the old party system the whole community was well and ably represented and it' our exmrienre ot' the last four years means anything it is high time We returned to the gtn'el‘lmlent of the Hrits and the.

But he is lack- ing in agricultural experience and has not the knowledge to success- fully represent the farming class.” Is there not a “class" appeal here? Is a man’s only reqmrement an abil- ity to represent the “farming class,” to use our correspt‘nuient's own words? Surely he does not wish to appeal to the electorate just because of "elass"! What of the rest of us? Does it matter not that the South (trey representative has no ability to rtmresent the towns? One of the reasmis of The tilllronicle's adymrat’y of Dr. .lamieson is the fact that we THE CLASS IOVBIBNT Despite all efl'orts on the part of the ones higher up to suppress it. you simply cannot keep the “class” part of the Drury Government down. Like the move to elim'nate the “middleman,” about the Eime you get it pretty well squelcl ed up it bobs again. In the camp 1gn just closing, and on which thle curtain will ring down next Monday night, a great deal of effort has been ex- pended by Drury-Raney orators, es- pecially in the towns and villages, to show that their Government is not one of “class,” but, rather, one for all the population. They deny with emphasis that any such thing exists. The latest to come under our notice is in our McWilliams correspond- ence. ()ur correspondent says in re- ferring toDr. Jamieson : and Mrs. Harvey desires us to ex- press her sincere appreciation of the many kindnesses received from neighbors and others during the long and trying illness of her deceased husband. The trouble with the 'average hreadwinner is that he wants cake. There is no real demand {or en- ’durance tests in a country where taxes are what they'are.

Mr. Semple, who resided at 90 Beaver Avenue, Toronto, was in the employ of Brintnell Company, a Toronto firm who have the widening and grading of the Provincial High- way between Durham and Orchard, and had been up in this part of On- tario only since the company started operations at Corktown hill some three or four weeks ago. He was a man of about 35 years of age and was a good workman at his trade of steam-shovel engineer, and is well spoken of by his foreman, Mr. R. L.
