Friday, October 8. 1909 l Mr. Slratlon Keeps His Seat, A special despatch from Petcrborongh to the Toronto Globe on the 3rd inst. says: “ Finding the evidence offered in sup- port of the Leary charges in connection with the petition of M r. J. H. Burnham, the unsuccessful Conserative candidate for West l’eterborough at the last elec- tion, to unseat Mr. J. R. Stratton, ab- solutely unworthy of credence, Justices M acMahon and Magee on Saturday disâ€" missed the ease. ' “Mr. DuVernet, K. 0., senior counsel for the petitioner, then asked that the petition should be dismissed as a whole. It was useless in view of the expressed opinion of their Lordships to proceed with the matter. He pointed out that he had placed his strongest case before the court, and, therefore, it would only be wasting the time of the Judges and his client's money to proceed farther. The petition was consequently dismissed, each party to pay their own costs, and as an immediate result, the cross-peti- tion against Mr. Burnham was also dis- missed with the consent of Mr. G. H. Watson, K. 0., who appeared on Mr. Stratton’s behalf.” The Toronto News comments upon the election trial as follows: “ There is not much comfort for either party in the election trial at Peter- borough. Altogether it is a thronghly ,discreditablc and sordid business. Neither does the chief censure lie upon the few immigrants who seem to have been purchased at so much a head, and who were only too willing to make a sale of their franchise. The chief of- fenders were a group of leading citizens of Petcrborough, who seem to believe that the franchise is a commercial com- modity, and perjury a venial offence in an election trial. These reputable citizens should go to jail, and by some process the methods employed by the parties in the constituency should be investigated to the bottom. We could have no more striking evidence of the futility of the courts to expose corrle- tion than this trial affords. With the existing ~machinery no political party can hope to protect itself by judicial proceedings. We do not attack the courts. All we mean is that the machinery provided is impotent. Until a public prosecuting officer is appointed, with powers such as belong to the Audi- tor-General, no political party hence- forth will be wise to devote its means or energies to attempts to protect the franchise and punish corruption through the :wency of the courts." And we can't lielpothinking that the News is more than half right. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"Iâ€"-â€" A Letter on Local Option. The Rev. C. H. Brooks, Rector of Grafton, wrote as follows to the Cobourg Sentinel-Star : v I have just come from burying Alex- ander Bunyan, of your Steel Works, found dead on the track here last Sun- day morning, laying him beside Polling of Colborne, and I have no desire to have any more such funerals, so let me here and now make my earnest protest against this unholy, murderous drink traflic. Sexton, undertaker, and clergy- man lifted from the waggon and lower- ed into the grave your late townsman. But who dug the grave and who brought him to it? His bearers ought to have been your bartenderswthose who shut him up in your prison for two months for drunkenness, and then when he got out could not leave him alone for a single day, but when he helped him- self to a ride on a frieght-train last Saturday evening, sent him off from your G. T. R. station with drink inside and a bottle in his pocket. All the country is agog to learn who killed the man. Yes, who ? Whatever the in- strument used, the mode, the hour, Co- bourg drink killed him, and it will go on killing as long as conscienceless men are allowed to make money out of it. We in Grafton are suffering every day from your open bars, so let no one tell us to keep hands off and mind our own business. We retort: keep your hands off our young men and our older men, and give them a chance to recover their self respect and walk uprightly. Some are sent here and others have moved here because it is a local option town, and while they stay here it is well with I them. But you lure them over, empty their pockets. drench their stomachs, and send them reeling back to us, and those who did it cry out “ See the beau- ties of local option." Give us fair play, and treat us decently, but don't for gain debauch and then villify us. We have not only a general but a local and very practical interest in your temperance campaign. I did not vote at all in our contest here. I felt too ignorant to Eguide others or to act myself, but I -: Would .vote every time now for Local j Option. 1 do not see how any man can take the responsibility of retaining the open bar, and so continuing the repre- hensible custom of public treating. When you have made a clean sweep of the iniquitous traflic it will be a won- der to you that you ever suffered it a day. I Miss Pearl Austin'ilcft on Tuesday morning to enter on a probationary course in training at the Sick Childreii'§ Hospital, Toronto.

It is said that sixty years ago there 'as not a single tramp in the United have become so few as to be a scarcely ap< preciable nuisance. They are the pro- duct of conditions that have become so unendurablo that their abolition in the not very distant future is an absolute certainty, and with the disappearance of those conditions tramps will disap- pear also. At present, however, they are rapidly increasing in number, and so many of them are annually killed by trains on which they are trying to steal .

Robson's handsome young hound, “ Hunter,” was found dead on the road that runs lengthwise along li‘idler‘s Hill, and the natural influence is that he died from the effects of posion, be- cause there was no mark, of violence on the body, and several dogs have from time to time been poisoned in that locality. It’s too bad, especially as deer hunting will commence on the 1st of November, and hounds are kept dur-' ing the whole of the year for the value of their services during the first half of that month. VICTORIA Cannon, Pownns’ Conxnns.â€"â€"- Victoria Church, Powles’ Corners, will hold their anniversary services on Oct. 17th and 18th. Rev. W. G. Clarke, B.

The public is cordially invited to attend the ser- vices. Watch for the bills. The lecture rides, or are run over while walking the tracks, that the knowledge of the big death roll has affected President Mc- Crca, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, that he is moving to obtain the passage of laws that will have a tendency to prevent such a waste of life. And his action is not to be wondered at, as no fewer than 657 men were killed and 791 badly in- jured last year by the trains run by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. A great ma- jority of the accidents happen at night, because most of the freight is moved during the hours f darkness, and freight trains do not, ravel on schedule time, and do not carry blazing head- lights to give warning of their ap- proach. The account from which we condense the above says : “On the straight road the tramp can see or hear the coming train. But there are many sharp curves where he has no warning. He has, perhaps, been walk- ing for hours; he is tottering, tired, ex- hausted; perhaps in his walk he dozes for a second. Then it is that the mighty engine is upon him, and before the man at the throttle can throw on the brakes a tragedy has been enacted and another life has been snuffed out.” The Professional Exhibitor. The Uxbridge Journal has the follow- ing to say regarding the professional exhibitor, who makes a. practice of go- ing the rounds of the fairs : "The professional exhibitor, who makes a business of rounding-up as many fall fairs as he can during the sea- son for the sake of the prizes, is one of the most undesircable parasites at the country fair. This man comes with the reputation of having secured so many “firsts” at the Big Fair, and straightway deprives the particular competition of its local interest, for v-l-‘iâ€"Iuilwiwuszfm HA ,7.‘ .» . the engender-ing of which agriculture societies primarily exist. The most useful funciont to be performed by these institutions is the encouragment of improved farming along whatever lines are best suited to the natural re« sources of the surrounding country, and when this end is sacrificed to a merv cenery desire for prize money the fall fair fails in its real purprse." The professional exhibitor will not come very often to any fair at which he finds local exhibitors outclassing him in whatever line he is in. This is the proper way to stop him. If all members of the agriculture societies would make it a point to have even only one exhibit of extra merit, the professional would soon be put out of. business. â€"â€"_â€"-â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€" Don‘t Do If. The editor of an exchange says he doesn't want anyone to send him any copies of his paper in which they have found mistakes. If they find a perfect copy, however, he offers a big price for it. Same with all of us. If the fool critic who hunts for mistakes in the papers would find them all he would be kept busy. We will be pleased to buy copies of any paper which can be proven entirely free from errors, either typographical or in statements of facts. We will also be pleased to find a mer- chant who never made a mistake in put- ting up an order, ,a lawyer who never lost a case through his own errors, a druggist who never made a mistake, a doctor who never wrongly diagnosed a case, a post official who never put mail in the wrong box, a woman whenever forgot to put in salt while cooking or to put tea in the teapot before putting in the water. Bring on some of your mistakeless paragons who find it so easy to critcize the papers, and we'll give them the chance of their lives to find whether they are really human. _â€"_â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Personals.
