Proposing a toast to •.■'J'lie Fire Brigade, "


Comicillur Mu.'Son referred tc» the volmitaiy nature ol llic brigade, and .said lie was a be- lievi.w in voluntary olt'orl-, especially if the volunteers Innl .sincerely at heart Un- duties wliich they underfook. ‘j'hoie was a groat dc-al too mne.h oi the spirit of “Whore do 1 con'.e in?” manifesiod lo-du-y. 'I’u e.xpect. payment loi' everything on-- did w<is a great mistuko.. be­ cause one did not get the be.st results ii'cn jiciid labour. Men were not Clii'istians, or t^atriols. oi' good citizeii.v for payment : each (lonnnded .m elVort anil some ainomit of .sacri. lice. In the case oi a voluntary brigade like that, tile member.s did not umleilake the dniic-s for T-hc .sake of any reward for their .services. It wa.s recognised that a g')od deal of leistirc time must- be given to the training ui limb.s and intelligences so that when their service.' Were required thev could perform tlieir duties efficiently and woll. He had also pleasure in ■ginng tliat toast- because tJie brigade wa.s.not a number oi individurds^ but a- body of men associated for tv purpose, sinking liieir own in- dividualitv. and being iiuo one to another. It was not a case of oiK} man t-rjnng to get mio a permanent position in order that he might cninmaiitl the regard of the others, but railier of each man being prepared ^to amswer dutv.s call. It was not- a matter of superiority. The man ai, the top of the ladder realised his do. pendciicc on the man at the Iwttom, and the latter realised that- on his care ami atteni-inn to dutv depended the saiot-v of tlie man^ at- the


yearly busines.<? meeting on Wednesday night. There was an excellent attendance. After tne general business had been disposed of, the followiiiir resolution was passed:


" That this meeting prote.5ts against the


proposed new Workhouse Order, and re­ quests the Government to postpone it until it can be discitssed in Parhament.


_ At the close of the meeting, the P^sidont Gkariljj Sail


made an appeal on belia,ll ol *.<i- children in Dublin, a substantial sum realised.-Next week, Mr. Wnglit, ol Burde^, will give a lecture on “ Contentment and what it means." For particular.-. .SCO advt.


‘ You toll me,’ said the judge, ‘ t-liat this i» the person who UnooUed you down with ln=


motor car. Gan you swear to the man. ‘ I did,’ returned the complainant, eagerly,


‘ but he. did’nt stop to hoar me.”


-top! It wa.’S an association also to light an element which had caused terror not onlv in human beincs. but- in all aninial creation. Fire was the most dostniclive agent to property and life, tuul a. body of men bam.led rogether protect life and’ property from de.structioii by iTTO was a- very laudablo and. worthy association. Tlie havoc whicJi could be wrought by* • jhis agenev had been demonsira-ted in the Balkan War, * and the account-s in the newspapers hah shewn how. when men’-s pas.sions were roused, t’liev would llv to tlie most terrible destructiyo af-encies. and‘had absolutely no mercy m their iiiethod.s' of destruction. Theic was a ]osson to be learned even from that-. U was a


'degrading thing to. .stand by and see a hve witii. out making any eilort.to oxtingiush it. • .in a

UPKXIXG OF WJXTKit CA.MPAJGX. The Chatburn and BownJiam branch of tho


Junior Unionist -Association opened the winter campaign at Cluiibuni, on Wednesday tiiglti, w)u-n there wa^s a largo a-ttendanco to hear .Mr. C. P. Xorman, a memher of the Aiui.is'>cialist J.eagiie. .Mr. W. IIurri.s, who presided, said it- was


always a pleasure to do somoihing to encourage tin- young men of ilie country to take up a fighting ailiimk- against- ^ociali.sm. They believed that. It was detrimontal to ihe best interests of the working clas.so.s. There wa.s much in the tlieory of :Socialism that, at lirst- .•^ighi. was very alluring, particularly to a working man. He admitted that the conditions {o_.ilay wore not wh:it lliov ought to be, but they imist, remember that they were consider, ably better than in the dayf of their forefaili- eis." Tliey were living in progressive times, and he ventured to .say that, if thoy made the lies!, of the. e.xisiiiig* SYSioni, the conditions would be greatly improved. 'I'he country stood in need of sticial reform, l.mt Ukj power.s of tlie two great political parlies were able to luhil


•


lliat need. .Socialists were out to de-sivoy all modern insiitiuions. In conclusion, he .'aid that the prinoipIe.s involved wore enormous, but s«» long a.s the people were under the impression that the .Stale was an institution under which one couhl live without working, so long would bad coniHtions revail (Applause). Mr. Xormyn dealt with the land question.


There wore, lie .said, some people foolish enough to believe that in order to fimi moaey to pay imperial and local taxation they .should sinipK tax tho landlord. Tt was a- very stupid propos­ ition. and there was only one thing against it —it wpnldii’ t work.^ The landowner was being attacked on cverv side. The Socialist contend, ed that the land should be taken because it had been stolon from the people. That was slieer nonsense, because tJiere never w’as a tune in this coiintrv when tho land did belong to the. people. “ God gave the land for the people w.'ts the f^ocialisU favourite cry, but it that was true how did it^ coincide with their complete denial of the exi.stence of a deity? After attack, ing the .svstem of small holdings, in wliic-h men paid the’ rent perpetually and never had the ,sli"ht<'.st chance of becoming the owners, the speaker went on to advocate the policy of creat. small owners, as had been applied in Ire­


land. Of course, Socialists did not believe in that policy, because the more


there


were, and the greater was the difficnlty in making Socialists. (gVpplause). AIKN’S CLASS.—The first lecture of the
