at tlie front Ilghtlng for us, but as it
rule such people want others to do

those flghtlng for them.
Take this' for Instance. There ls

Now has not this man a rfght to have
_his wife and chll1L~.'en supported' ivlille
he is representing its and rliiklng his
life' for ua`?
Yes, I saythat every nittn and ivo-
mim has a duty to contribute to tl11
support of those our bravevnluiileerii
have left behind them. »Eve1'_v‘ far-
mer ln the viclnlty has 11 ijtgIit'_to_glv¢=

for It is pnly just. and If they do not
do so they keep that which is not

Now. if some of those gosslps and*
slilrkers who seek excuses for shut-
tlng their pockets would' do as'I have'
done ln my district. go through and
put the matter plainly and honestly
before' the people they would do some-
thing for which they would dencrite
credit. I went through my dlstrlct
Home time ago and got promlseii for
$180, besl1Z'e.=1 $27.25 for the Gun I~`1ind.
over $200; there ls only about $20.00
of this sum now to he collected and
the most of that wlll be pilld before
the end of the yenr.
There are tihout. 470 Road Districts
In the Province. If every dliit-rlct
hail done as well no we have done
what would have been the re-
sult? 200 times 470 represents $94,-
000. There are some dlntr-lets that
could do more, and' some not so much.
but say all dLd a thlrd as well its our
iilotrlct It would have amounted to
nt leant $60,000. It could' have been
