Mason & Son Next Door to Standard Bank BOWMANVILLE BOWMANVILLE, JAN. 14, 1915 DARLINGTON LIBERALS Liberals of the Township of E>arlington met at Hampton, Saturday when the following following officers were elected ^Pres., A. J. Reynolds; Vice Pres.--Silas Trewin; Sec., Treas.--A. L. Pascoe. Besides the regu- i lar routine of business, votes of confidence 1 were passed in our leaders Mr. N. W. Rowell and Sir Wilfrid Laurier and also to Mr. W. L. Smith, Orono,regretting the loss of his son. MUNICIPAL echoes. Strenuous economy seems _ to be the watchword of this year's council. Why was Coun. Percy so anxious to have A. Barber audit his own books ? A citizen has no right to sit at the council council board if his wishbone is where his backbone should be. Coun. Grigg thinks a competent man should supervise the laying of town pavements, pavements, he's right, too. Is it to the mind of electors to pay an auditor $10 a day and not make a grant of $io to Sick Children's Hospital ? Chief Rd. Jarvis holds more municipal offices than any other citizen. His first appointment for 1915 is Sanitary Inspector. Inspector. If Coun. Tole expects to be Mayor next year he will have to put the roads and streets in better condition--on less than $2,$00. Coun. Grigg may not be an orator, but he's an untiring worker in the interests of the town. When he speaks it is with sincerity and without fear. Hardly a council meeting is held but some citizen asks permission to cut down a tree. More trees «till be planted on some streets if Coun. Foley has his way. Coun. Trebilcock is in favor of giving free use of Opera House for concerts in behalf of charity or patriotic funds. He is right. Mayor didn't seem to agree with him at first, tho. Who is responsible for the present fire alarm system being out of condition, the chairman of Fire & Water Com., or the firemen ? If it had been properly taken care of there should be no need for $300 outlay at present. Local electricans were not given a chance to figure on the alterations to fire alarm system--$300 awarded to Oshawa firm. That's a poor example for council to set and then behind the counter preach "Buy-in-Bowmanville". After his two years' experience Mayor Hillier would be very tar "at sea" in conducting conducting regular procedure of council such as putting thru a by-law were it not for the prompting of Coun. Cornish, .who is an authority on such matters. Who is this man Welsh that Coun. Percy is so anxious to pay $10 a day for auditing books? Some say he is a personal personal friend of the Finance Minister, while others contend that a relative recommended recommended him as he works for Mr. Welsh. Teamsters, delivery boys and others are anxiously awaiting the time when the Fountain presented by Coun. Tole wilkbe put in action. The question is, Where should it be placed ? Certainly not in front of the post office to make a bog hole. Bowmanville has not for long years had the honor of having one of its citizens Warden of these United Counties, but it may not be able to say that after this year as Reeve Tail's chances for the Warden- ship are at present reported to be above par. What's the use of having the books audited, audited, any*ay ? Coun. Percy pigeon-holed the auditors' report last year without presenting presenting it to the Council; and this year he is willing to pay $10 a day to a man who probably has never been heard of in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. "Be loyal to your own community" is a popular slogan just now, but Coun. Percy insists on employing an out-of-town auditor auditor at $10 per day plus his expenses, and the local auditor who assists him is only to receive $25 for the whole job. Disloyalty Disloyalty and extravagance, we think. Coun. Percy in referring to auditing of waterworks accounts, said : "There isn't any man in Bowmanville fit to go over these accounts". Mv, but he and the Mayor must have made an awful mess of things if the accounts are in such a state as that. No wonder they want an out-of- town man to straighten things out, if that be true. That was a pretty strong bribe His Worship offered The Tames Papers, if they would not be so severe in their criticism criticism of the Council he might favor turning turning a little of the town printing the James way. Thanks for your offer, Mr. Mayor, but The James Papers are no lick-spittals, nor are they controlled by the "big interests", interests", nor are the editors clams or jelly fish. Their hands are not tied by any political party, organization or body of men. They do not gather their editorials from a lawyer's office, a doctor's waiting room, nor from the floor of a blacksmith shop. You have the wrong number, Dr. Coun. Foley is to be commended for his suggestion of having a Civic" Improvement Improvement Committee appointed, the object of which is to make Bowmanville more beautiful. beautiful. . Many citizens already take considerable considerable pride in keeping their lawns and premises tidy and attractive, which has brought forth many favorable comments from visitors. The committee should receive receive the co-operation of every citizen in a campaign to clean up. the neglected places, which are not a few in many parts of the town, and beautify these unsightly lots and buildings by plantii g shade trees, evergreens, plants, vines or shrubbery to relieve the bareness and deserted look. Following the example of the post office, flower boxes might be placed in the windows windows of the public buildings, as well as in the stores on our main street. No doubt the Park at Port Bowmanville will receive some attention, too. Bowmanville-on- the-Lake is attracting more people to its shores every summer, but it still can be made more attractive and inviting. A little intelligent planning, such as Coun. Foley suggests, with the co-operation of the citizens, will help us look forward to seeing many more "beauty spots" around Bowmanville the coming season.

Jury & Lovell. OLD DURHAM BOYS. Lieut; W.H. Roenigk, Lindsay. - Officers of the 45th Victoria Regiment, and a number of friends were guests of J. J. H. Fee, Ll,-CoL, C.O., Lindsay, last Wednesday evening at Hotel Simpson, where a sumptuous repast was enjoyed on the occasion of the annual banquet of the officers and will go down into the history of the 45th as a red-letter event. In the course of the addresses in reply to the toasts a number of speakers eulogized Lieut. Bandmaster W. H. Roenigk for the untiring and very faithful service he has at all times given to the Regiment. He came in for a great deal of praise from the officers, owing to his readiness to assist assist them on all occasions, be it late or early. Bandmaster Roenigk and his family family are held in the highest regard by the people of Lindsay, and his services as an old volunteer and as bandmaster in connection connection with the Canadian Militia have been, and are, highly appreciated. Lieut. Roenigk is one of five bandmasters is Canada holding a lieutenancy. Capt. C. R. McCullough, Hamilton. That was à very masterful address on "The Soul of the Nation" which was delivered delivered by Charles R. McCullough before a club of business men at a luncheon in Hami.ton, Jan. 4. We can only give a brief part of it. "Napoleon" said the speaker, "once asked a distinguished surgeon surgeon if under his scalpel he had ever met the soul. There is no reply. Ralph Waldo Waldo Emerson had, however, defined for us the soul man. as not an organ but that which exercised the organs, not a faculty but a slight, not the intellect but master thereof. All reforms aim to let the soul have its way. To obey its motions Dollard Dollard des Ormeaux with his companions offered themselves us as a willing sacrifice sacrifice to save the settlements of early Canada Canada against the hordes of Irovuois invaders. invaders. Albert of Belgium showed forth the soul of his country when he opposed himself himself to the arrogant demands for free passage passage of the German hosts intent upon killing killing the spirit of the French people. As Ulysses went to battle trusting in his valor and the righteousness of his cause so dared the Belgians to look the tyrant of human liberty squarely in the face and endure the horrors of war rather than sell the soul of the nation. As of old time Socrates said to his accusers that whilst they might kill his body harm could not touch him--the soul--the inner man, so in these times the gallant king of the Belgians might answer William of Germany. "Heine the Great German poet had described himself as a soldier in the cause of the liberation of humanity. He had said that the Englishman Englishman loved liberty as his wedded wife, the Frenchman as his mistress, the German German as an old grandmother consigned to a remote corner of the kitchen." The speaker decided that Germany was at war with herself, if she but knew it, to solve those problems solved by the people of Britain hundreds of years ago--the rights of the people as opposed to the arrogant claims of divine right by Stuarts on the one hand and Hohenzollerns on the other. Presently the eyes, long blinded by the teachings of a false philosophy of militaristic militaristic force, would be opened and a mental and perhaps physical revolution - would follow upon the inevitable defeat of German German arms in this fight against human liberty--against liberty--against the souls of nations--not omitting that of Germany herself. ENTERED INTO BEST. Mrs. A. W. Macnab, Toronto. His numerous friends of St. John's Parish, Parish, Bowmanville, ovér which his distinguished distinguished father, Rev. Dr. Macnab was Rector Rector for many years will sympathize with Rev. Canon Macnab in the unexpected death of his wife on Thursday Jan. 7 at their home in Toronto. She was sister of the late John Griffith for many years in business in this town as harness maker. The Toronto Telegram says : In the death of Mrs. Macnab, wife of the Rev. Canon Alex W. Macnab of St Alban's Cathedral, Toronto loses an outstanding woman worker, both in charitable and church organizations. organizations. Mrs. Macnab passed away quietly Thursday morning at their home 120 Wells-st. She had suffered from sciatica for more than two years, and at the time of death from neuritis. Only the day before her death the doctor had said there was no immediate danger. Miss Mary Gwladys Griffith was born in London, London, England, and was married to the Rev. Canon Macnab nearly forty years ago. Following the marriage they came to St. Catharines, Ont., where Canon Macnab had a charge for many years. From here they went to Omaha, Nebraska, to spend four years before coming to Toronto Toronto in 1899. Mrs. Macnab was deeply interested interested in the work of the Anglican church and was past president of practically practically every society in St. Alban's Cathedral including the young people's branches.
