A Slogan for Williamson.

Last week we mildly suggested
that Williamson should stop for
a moment in its swift race toward
greater prosperity, and choose
an appropriate slogan, which
should advertise to the world its
means and methods of attaining
greatness. We were not expect
ing such instant response to this
idea as we had. We know how
very busy Williamson people are,
and it is only upon urgent BUSH
ness that we presume to inter-
rupt them, but we should have
known that anything that per-
tains to the boosting of the city
meets with prompt attention
from every citizen of this town.
The paper bad scarcely left the
Office before we began having
suggestions in the way of slo-
gan. This set US to thinking
and we called on the president of
the Board of Trade and present
ed the matter to him with the re-
quest that he look into it, and see
whether it were the pleasure of
the Board to choose an official
slogan. He told us that he
would mention our suggestion to
his colleagues and advise us and
our friends as to whether It'll
seemed better to take this up
now, or wait until early winter
when the summer rush has |
somewhat abated Eve presume
that it will abate, though we have
no reason to think so.
In the meantime, all those who |
have burning thoughts in the way
of snappy, spicy, long, short or
medium slogans. are invited to-
send them in to the WEST VIZ
GINIAN Office, and we will care
fully file them and keep them
until such time as the Board of |
Trade is ready to take official ac-
ton in the matter.
The two cleverest sugg estions
up to date are the following:
Watch Williamson Win, Rev.
I. r. Wolfe, of the Methodist
church.
Villa mson, the Young Mans
Opportunity" DIR. VIM. S. Rosen-
helm.
Watch this space for further
developments along this line.

The Catholic Bishop of Galway,
ireland, in making a plea that
Catholic Ireland should be worthy
Of her best traditions, struck res
olutely at the evils of political
corruption. He put the blame
precisely where it belongs with
men who sells their votes, or vote
from party prejudices or because
they are cousins or friends of a
candidate, or because they are
looking for a good turn.

The Lorimer scandal was no
doubt the last straw which broke
the back Of senatorial opposition
to the direct election amendment.
It was effective in forcing over
reluctant votes at the last ses-
sion. It has been made further
effective to this end by its later
revival in more aggravated
form.
