In 1886 the scope of the work was unique, so far as -this country was concerned, for previous volumes of the kind had -confined themselves to the careers of Canadians who have won fame in -either a political or military capacity. The aim of the editors of the -first volume of “Representative Canadians” was to give recognition of -the emergence of Canada from a colonial to something like a national -status by recording something of the achievements of those who had -contributed to the intellectual, industrial and commercial growth of the -country, as well as of its political leaders. The purpose remained the -same in the second volume published in 1888, and is once more the -impulse of the present book. - -The vast majority of those whose careers were recorded in 1886 have -passed away; and the same is true of those who figured in the second -volume of the series. Consequently, the earlier issues of -“Representative Canadians” grow every day more precious, for, in many -cases, they contain the sole records of men who initiated great -enterprises or furthered important movements which have left a lasting -mark on the history of Canada. We cannot but think that the reader who, -thirty or forty years hence, may chance to scan the pages of the present -volume will gather a very vivid picture of Canada as it was in one of -the crucial periods of the world’s affairs—a picture in which the -characters of those Canadians who lived and “carried on” through the -years of the greatest war in all history may be discerned in the records -of their lives. There is hardly a page in this book into which the war -does not enter directly or indirectly in some form or other, by way of -allusions to services rendered, bereavements endured, or honours gained -on the field of battle. In that sense the 1919 volume must remain -unique, and a mine of useful information for students in future -generations. - -Generally speaking, in comparing the biographies of the Canadians of -to-day with those of 1886 and 1888, the reader gains a sense of this -country’s continuous expansion. The present century has witnessed a -marvellous development in the Canadian West, so that in these pages we -find numerous records showing not merely the commercial, but the -intellectual, progress of the Provinces West of the Great Lakes—stories -of brilliant careers built up by men who were mere children in the East -when the first volume was published. The reader will also note in the -biographies of business men which abound in these pages, the -ever-increasing scale on which Canadian commerce and enterprise -everywhere is conducted, so that what seemed large in 1886 is relatively -small to-day. Though some of the men whose names figure in the index are -of less importance than others, all play their part in our complex and -vigorous social life, and the story of their progress and fortunes -cannot be really tedious to any sympathetic student of humanity. - -TORONTO, 1919. - - - - - INDEX - - - Adamson, Alan Joseph, 124 - Adamson, John Evans, 121 - Aikenhead, Thomas E., 47 - Aikins, Lieut.-Col.

Sir Robert Laird, P.C., K.C.M.G., K.C., LL.D.=, -Premier of Canada (Ottawa, Ont.), eldest son of Andrew Borden and Eunice -Laird, was born at Grand Pré, Nova Scotia, on June 26, 1854. He was -educated at Acadia Villa Academy, Horton, and for a time a Professor in -Glenwood Institute, N.J. His great-great-grandfather went to King’s -County, Nova Scotia, with early settlers from New England, in 1760, and -upon returning to Massachusetts gave his land in Nova Scotia to his son, -the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch. Upon returning to -Nova Scotia, Sir Robert studied law and was called to the Bar in 1878. -He first practised at Kentville, N.S., and later moved to Halifax, -succeeding the late Sir John Thompson, then Prime Minister of Canada, in -the firm of Thompson, Graham and Tupper. Before removing to Ottawa he -was head of the law firm of Borden, Ritchie & Chisholm, of Halifax, and -for ten years was President of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society. He -was made a Q.C. in 1900; an Honorary LL.D. of Queen’s University in -1903; an Honorary LL.D., St. Francis Xavier University in 1905; an -Honorary LL.D. of McGill University in 1913. In 1896 he was elected to -the House of Commons from Halifax in the General Elections, and -re-elected in 1900, but was an unsuccessful candidate at the General -Elections in 1904. Upon the retirement of Edward Kidd, M.P., for -Carleton, Ont., he was elected by acclamation in his stead at the -by-election held on February 4, 1905, and was re-elected by a large -majority at the general elections in 1908, when he was also elected in -Halifax, N.S. He later resigned his Carleton seat, preferring to -represent Halifax. At the General Elections of 1911, he was again -returned for Halifax, and continued to represent that constituency up to -the present time (1918). On February 6, 1901, he was chosen leader of -the Conservative Party in the House of Commons, and upon the resignation -of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Cabinet on October 6, 1911, following the -defeat of the Liberal Government on the question of Reciprocity with the -United States, he was sent for by His Excellency Earl Grey and was -entrusted with the task of forming a Cabinet. With a very large majority -at his disposal, he found the task an easy one, and was successful in -gathering around him men who have since carried on the government of the -country in one of the most critical periods of its existence. At the -time the first Borden government assumed office the world war was -unthought of except as a vague speculation, which few students of world -finance and world politics believed would ever become a fact, and the -new Premier did not foresee that before him lay the most difficult task -that had ever confronted a Canadian Government. In the summer of 1914 -the conflict which ultimately developed into a war between the Central -Empires and most of the other civilized powers, came like a bolt from -the blue. On August 4, 1914, there was great curiosity in the -chancelleries of Europe as to whether the overseas dominions of the -British Empire would stand behind Great Britain. Germany, on the day she -started the war, believed that they would not, and it was prophesied in -Berlin that Canada would seek separation from the Empire. Sir Robert -Borden at once gave the answer by placing the entire resources of the -Dominion at the disposal of the Motherland; and on receiving an -intimation from the late Lord Kitchener, that men were the first -necessity, immediately called Parliament together to vote the necessary -money. His government commenced the training and equipment of a first -volunteer expeditionary force of 35,000, with provision for its further -extension at need. This expeditionary force was partly trained at -Valcartier camp, Quebec, and partly at Salisbury Plains, England, and -first went into action at the second battle of Ypres in the spring of -1915. In the words of Viscount French, at that time Commander-in-Chief -of the British forces in France, it “saved the situation” and barred the -way to the Channel Ports from the Germans. In 1915 Sir Robert, who had -been honored with the title of G.C.M.G. shortly before the outbreak of -the conflict, visited Great Britain and France and, convincing himself -that the struggle would be very long and difficult, pledged Canada to -provide an aggregate of 500,000 trained men should the need arise. He -and his government also made arrangements whereby Canadian manufacturers -should engage largely in the production of munitions, the credits for -such contracts being financed by the Canadian administration. The same -policy was pursued in connection with contracts for food supplies, with -the result that throughout the war there was a continued trade expansion -and financial opulence that enabled Canada to make sacrifices that would -otherwise have been impossible to her. During his visits to the front -Sir Robert kept himself fully in touch with the needs of the Canadian -army, and resolved to make it a first consideration in all his policies. -A trip to Great Britain and France in the early part of 1917 convinced -him that, in view of the dark outlook for peace, it would be necessary -for Canada to adopt the policy of conscription, which had already been -reluctantly adopted in Great Britain by Mr. Asquith, and had become the -policy of the United States, which had recently entered the war. It was -clear to Sir Robert that this policy could only be effectively imposed -by consent of both parties in the House of Commons, and on his return to -Canada in May, 1917, he announced conscription as his policy and an -abandonment of party government. He was at first stoutly opposed both in -the ranks of his own party and by his political opponents. Nevertheless, -after long and patient negotiations he was successful in winning -practically the entire body of English-speaking Liberals to his way of -thinking, and conscription carried in the House of Commons in the latter -part of July, 1917, by the greatest majority ever given so momentous a -measure. He then proceeded to form a Union Government almost equally -representative of Conservatives and Liberals. Early in December of 1917 -this government, with Sir Robert as Prime Minister, appealed to the -people, and was supported by almost the entire mass of English-speaking -constituencies, giving him the largest majority that any political -leader has ever enjoyed in this country. As a result of the adoption of -conscription, Canada was enabled by the time peace was declared to -fulfil her pledge of sending 500,000 men to aid in the war against -autocracy—a contribution which has made this country famous throughout -the world. Already, on January 1, 1912, Sir Robert had been sworn in as -a member of the Imperial Privy Council, the highest office that up to -that time had been held in the Motherland by a Canadian. On his arrival -in London in June, 1918, he was invited by the Prime Minister, Hon. -David Lloyd-George to become a member of the Imperial War Cabinet, a -post which he held during the duration of the war. This was followed in -November of 1918 by an invitation to become one of Great Britain’s -Imperial representatives at the negotiations preliminary to and -coincident with the Peace Conference to resolve the disasters of the war -and at once proceeded overseas. Sir Robert’s Imperial services have been -such, and his legal attainments are so well known that at the time of -writing his elevation to the peerage as a colonial representative on the -legal committee of the Privy Council, which is the Court of Appeal for -the whole Empire, is being strongly advocated in the Motherland. In his -private relations Sir Robert is greatly beloved, and though his duties -have brought him in contact with all the leading figures of Great -Britain, France and the United States, he is a thorough democrat in -bearing. His favorite recreation is golf and he has played with many -world-famous statesmen, though he does not claim to be a champion. He is -an Anglican in religion and a member of many clubs on both sides of the -Atlantic. In September of 1889 he married Laura, daughter of the late T. -H. Bond, of Halifax, and never fails to acknowledge the great aid and -assistance that has been rendered him by Lady Borden in building up his -illustrious career. They reside at 201 Wurtemburg St., Ottawa. - - - - -[Illustration: THE LATE RIGHT HONORABLE SIR WILFRID LAURIER] - - - - -=Laurier, the late Rt. Hon. Sir Wilfrid, P.C., G.C.M.G., K.C., D.C.L. -(Oxon.), LL.D.= (Ottawa, Ont.), son of the late Carolus Laurier, P.L.S., -and his wife, Marcelle Martineau; born at St. Lin, Quebec, on November -20, 1841, and educated at mixed schools in his native parish and at -L’Assomption College. As a law student he entered the office of the late -Hon. R. Laflamme in 1860, and studied at McGill University; received -B.C.L. in 1864 and was called to the Bar in the same year; was appointed -a Q.C. in 1880, and became head of the law firm of Laurier & Lavergne. -In the earlier years of his professional career he edited and -contributed to several newspapers. In May 13, 1868, he married Miss Zoe -Lafontaine. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Drummond and -Arthabaska in 1871, and resigned to contest the same riding for the -House of Commons at the general elections in 1874, and was elected; was -sworn in a Privy Councillor and appointed Minister of Inland Revenue in -the Mackenzie administration, on October 8, 1877, and on going back for -re-election, was defeated by D. O. Bourbeau, who obtained a majority of -forty. Later he was elected for Quebec East, a seat vacated by I. -Thibaudeau, and was re-elected for the same Riding at the general -elections of 1878, 1882, 1887, 1891, 1896 and 1900, and also elected for -Saskatchewan, N.W.T., at the general elections of 1896; was re-elected -to the House of Commons at general elections of 1904 for Quebec East and -Wright, and elected to sit for Quebec East; in 1908 was re-elected for -Quebec East, and was also returned for the City of Ottawa, and again -elected to sit for Quebec East; in 1911 he was elected for both Quebec -East and Soulanges; and in 1918 for Quebec East. In October, 1878, he -resigned with the Mackenzie Government, and was elected leader of the -Liberal Party in the House of Commons in 1887. He issued a call for a -Dominion Liberal Convention in 1893, which was held at Ottawa. Upon the -defeat of the Tupper Government at the general elections, June 23, 1896, -he was called on by Lord Aberdeen, Governor-General, to form a ministry -on July 8, 1896, on which date Sir Charles Tupper resigned office; was -sworn in as President of the Privy Council, July 11, 1896, and formed -his Ministry, July 13, 1896. He was appointed by a sub-committee of the -Privy Council to arrange for the settlement of the Manitoba School -Question and an agreement was reached in November of the same year. On -the occasion of the celebration of Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s Diamond -Jubilee at London, Eng., June, 1897, he represented Canada, and was -created a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. -Michael and St. George; was received in audience by the Sovereign and -accorded the leading place in the great Jubilee State Procession of all -the Colonial dignitaries. Oxford and Cambridge Universities conferred -upon him the degree of D.C.L. (hon.) during this visit. He was sworn in -an Imperial Privy Councillor July 6, 1897; was made an honorary member -of the Cobden Club, and received from it a gold medal in recognition of -his services in the cause of international free exchange; was presented -by the President of France with the Star of a Grand Officer of the -legion of Honour, at Havre, July 29, 1897, being the highest but one of -that order; was received in audience by His Holiness the Pope, August -12, 1897. While in England he succeeded in securing Her Majesty’s -Government’s assent to the denunciation of the commercial treaties with -Germany and Belgium, which stood in the way of Canada’s new tariff, -extending a preference to the United Kingdom. On his return to Canada he -was accorded public receptions at Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, -and received from Toronto and Queen’s Universities the honorary degrees -of LL.D. In November, 1897, he went to Washington in the interest of -better relations between the two countries, and was a member of the -Joint Commission which met at Quebec, August 23, 1898, to discuss -questions affecting jointly Great Britain, Canada and the United States. -He welcomed the present King, then Duke of Cornwall and York, to Canada -in September, 1901, and accompanied the Royal Party through the -Dominion; was invited, and attended, the Coronation of King Edward VII, -in 1902, sailing June 14, arriving in Liverpool June 21, and in London, -June 22. The Coronation, fixed for June 26, was postponed on June 24, -but took place on August 9. On June 30 he attended a Colonial Conference -at London, and on July 26 received the freedom of the City of Edinburgh, -and was honored with the degree of LL.D. by the Edinburgh University. He -was entertained by the City of Glasgow, July 28, visited the continent, -and sailed for Canada on October 7, arriving at Quebec, October 17, and -at Ottawa, October 18, receiving a great civic welcome at the City Hall. -On New Year’s Day, 1904, he was presented by His Excellency the -Governor-General, with the Fenian Raid medal for services as a volunteer -in 1866. In 1907 he attended the Imperial Conference at London, Eng., as -a representative of Canada, and was accorded the freedom of London, -Bristol, Liverpool and other cities; and in 1911 he attended the -Imperial Conference in England and represented Canada at the coronation -of King George and Queen Mary. Following the defeat of his Party at the -polls on September 21, 1911, on October 6 he tendered the resignation of -himself and Cabinet to Earl Grey, and advised His Excellency to call -upon Mr. R. L. Borden, to form a Cabinet. From that date until his death -on Feb. 17, 1919, he continued to lead the Liberal Party, and in 1917 -celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday. He again led his party in the -general election of December, 1917, but was defeated owing to the fact -that many followers had parted company with him on the issue of -Conscription. Sir Wilfrid’s end came suddenly as a result of an effusion -of blood to the brain. He was stricken while preparing to go to church -on Sunday, Feb. 16, and passed away the following afternoon. The death -of no Canadian had previously evoked such tributes as were printed and -uttered, not only in Canada, but throughout the British Empire and the -United States. His remains were accorded the honor of a State funeral in -Ottawa on Saturday, Feb. 22, 1919, which was the most impressive -function of its kind known on any continent since the death of Lincoln. - - * * * * * - -=Ames, Sir Herbert B., K.B., LL.D., M.P.= (Montreal, Que.), born June -27, 1863, at Montreal, of which city he has been a life-long resident. -He is the only son of the late Evan Fisher Ames (who founded the shoe -manufacturing concern of Ames, Holden & Company in 1856), and of -Caroline Matilda Brown, his wife, who was a native of New York City. Mr. -E. F. Ames came to Canada from Conway, Mass., which district he -represented in the Massachusetts Legislature in 1852. He established -himself in Montreal, and became one of the leading Canadian -manufacturers. Sir Herbert Ames was educated in the schools of Montreal, -subsequently entering Amherst College at Amherst, Mass., graduating from -there with the degree of B.A. in 1885, and having had conferred on him -the further title of LL.D. in 1915. When in college he was a member of -the Alpha Phi Fraternity. In August, 1885, after leaving Amherst, he -entered the firm of Ames, Holden & Company, at Montreal, remaining in -that business until 1893. He next interested himself in municipal reform -and became President of an organization of young men known as the -Volunteer Electoral League, which body was largely instrumental in -bringing about the reformation of the City Council. In 1898 Mr. Ames was -elected a member of the Montreal City Council for St. Antoine Ward, and -served his constituency for eight years. During that period he was a -member of the Police Commission, of the Road Commission and for four -years served as Chairman of the Board of Health. In 1895 Mr. Ames was -named a member of the Council of Public Instruction of the Province of -Quebec, which body supervises the entire school system of the province. -Mr. Ames was first elected a member of the House of Commons, Canada, in -1904, having a majority of 650. In 1908 he was again elected by 850 of a -majority, and in 1911 elected for the third time by a majority of over -2,000; again re-elected in December, 1917. On the formation of the -Borden Government, in 1911, Mr. Ames was appointed to the important -position of chairman of the Select Standing Committee on Banking and -Commerce, to which all bills pertaining to Banks, Trust and Loan and -Insurance Companies are referred for examination and report. In 1903 he -was a member of the National Committee to entertain the Chambers of -Commerce of the Empire, and with them travelled throughout the Dominion. -In 1909, as representative of the Montreal Board of Trade, Mr. Ames -attended the meeting of the Chambers of Commerce at Sydney, Australia. -He has travelled extensively throughout Australia, Japan, Egypt, India, -Europe, the United States and West Indies, and has given much time and -attention to the discussion of trade questions, tariff and treaties with -other countries. In 1896 he wrote and published a monograph entitled -“The City Below the Hill,” being a sociological study of the District of -the City of Montreal, in which such questions as wages, rents, health -conditions, etc., were carefully received. At the request of the -Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States Government, Mr. -Ames prepared an article on the same subject which appeared in the -journals of this department. At the present time Sir Herbert Ames is a -Director and Vice-President of the Ames, Holden, McCready Company. He is -also one of the three gentlemen composing the Canadian Board of the -Gresham Life Insurance Company, and also a Director of the Dominion -Guarantee Company. He is a member of the Mount Royal Club, the Montreal -Club, the Montreal Curling Club, the University Club of Montreal, the -Rideau Club, Ottawa. On May 19, 1890, Mr. Ames was married to Louise -Marion Kennedy, daughter of Sir John Kennedy, C.E., of Montreal, and -they occupy a residence on the slopes of Mount Royal. He is an elder in -the Presbyterian Church, a Director in the Y.M.C.A., a governor in -several benevolent institutions. At the outbreak of the great War, Mr. -Ames was asked by His Royal Highness, the Governor-General of Canada, to -assume the position of Honorary Secretary of the National Canadian -Patriotic Fund, which provides for the wives and dependent relatives of -soldiers serving in the armies of the Allies. On behalf of the Fund he -has visited all parts of Canada, speaking and organizing, and the marked -success to his initiative and effort. Through this great national -benefaction there will have been raised and expended during the war -period no less a sum than $45,000,000. On June 3, 1915, Mr. Ames had -conferred upon him the Honor of Knighthood by His Majesty the King, and -in 1916 was made a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem -in England. On December 1, 1918, the Government of Canada created by -Order-in-Council a National War Savings Committee for the encouragement -of thrift and the promotion of investment of small savings in government -securities. Of this Committee Sir Herbert Ames has been appointed -Chairman. - - * * * * * - -=Robertson, John Ross=, journalist. The direct descendant of Duncan R., -chief of the clan of Robertson of Strowan, 1347; eldest son of the late -John Robertson, wholesale dry goods merchant, Toronto, and Margaret R., -daughter of Hector Sinclair, Stornoway, Island of Lewis, Scotland. He -was born in Toronto, Dec. 28, 1841, and educated at Upper Canada -College; married, 1st, in 1871, Maria Louisa (d. Aug., 1886), daughter -of Edward Earle Matthew Gillbee, Northamptonshire, Eng., grandson of the -late Rev. Dr. Edward Gillbee, Vicar of Barby, near Rugby, descendant of -the noted Anthony Gilby, one of the translators of the first edition of -the Geneva or “Breeches” Bible, 1560; 2ndly, 1888, Jessie Elizabeth, -daughter of George B. Holland, a prominent insurance man of Toronto. -While still at college he occupied his spare hours in acquiring a -knowledge of the printer’s craft, and was a fairly rapid compositor; -commenced a small office which he established in his father’s residence, -John St., Toronto, and with a few fonts of type he issued to the boys at -Upper Canada College a paper under the name of the “College Times,” -which later took the name of the “Boys’ Times,” a monthly publication -that existed 1857-60. He also published in succession to the “Boys’ -Times,” during a year at the Model Grammar School, a newsy paper for -boys called “Young Canada.” Picking up a general knowledge of setting -type and small job work in city offices, his face was a familiar one in -the old “Christian Guardian” office, where occasionally he used to work -off odd jobs, the composition of which he did in his own office; in the -“Globe” Office, where in 1859, when opportunity offered, he sometimes -used to feed one of the Hoe single cylinder presses when printing the -inner pages of the four-page “Globe,” for the inside was always printed -the afternoon before the morning issue; in the “Leader,” where he at -times worked off on a small job cylinder Hoe press, the “Grumbler,” the -weekly that he issued in 1860; the following year he equipped a -newspaper and job office, and issued “Sporting Life,” the first paper in -Canada to be devoted to athletic sports, and subsequently continued the -publication of the “Grumbler,” a weekly satirical paper, at one time -edited by W. J. Rattray, W. A. Foster, and the late Chief Justice Thomas -Moss. He worked on the reportorial and advertising staff of the -“Leader,” when Charles Lindsey and Charles Belford were editors and -Ephraim Roden, City Editor, continuing at the same time the management -of his printing office. He also issued for a year, Robertson’s Canadian -Railway Guide, the first of its kind in Canada, and early in 1865 joined -the Toronto “Globe” staff as city Editor, in May, 1866, becoming one of -the founders of the “Daily Telegraph,” a journal that had a high -reputation among the newspapers of Canada. Owing to political -complications it ceased publication in 1872. Prior to this, in December, -1869, Mr. Robertson, then of the “Daily Telegraph,” made a trip to the -North-West, accompanied by Mr. Robert Cunningham of the “Globe.” They -travelled by rail from Toronto to the end of steel at St. Cloud, Minn., -and there with a French half-breed guide and a two-horse farmer’s -sleigh, fully equipped, began a journey of about 400 miles over the -prairie. Snow storms raged and the thermometer ran from zero to 20 -below. The travellers camped every night in the woods along the Red -River, and arrived in Fort Garry after a perilous journey of ten days, -to be locked up by the so-called “President” Riel, in Fort Garry for a -week, and only allowed out to see their friends in the town, under a -guard. They both secured interesting information, but were ordered out -of the territory, as Riel thought they were “dangerous characters,” so -they left Fort Garry for Pembina, U.S., the boundary post, one day when -the thermometer was about 40 below zero. They declared they would not do -the trip again for the whole North-West. Mr. Robertson, after the “Daily -Telegraph” ceased publication, proceeded to London, Eng., where for -three years he acted as resident correspondent and business -representative of the Toronto “Daily Globe.” On his return to Canada, -1875, he assumed the business management of the “Nation,” edited by the -late Prof. Goldwin Smith. It is said that during his managership of the -“Nation,” his friend, Mr. Goldwin Smith asked his opinion as to the -opportunities offered for an independent daily evening paper in Toronto, -and that this conversation led up to the establishment of the “Evening -Telegram,” which first saw light in April, 1876. It is said to be the -only daily paper in Canada that has paid its way from the start. Mr. -Robertson continued to conduct it until his death, May 31, 1918. “The -immediate success of this paper,” said the “Globe,” in a sketch of his -career published during his lifetime, “is ample evidence that he has -graduated from a good school of journalism. Neither accident or luck had -aught to do with his success. He launched out in new and original lines, -and the good fortune that attended his efforts was the outcome of his -energy, enthusiasm and experience, reinforced by a persistence and -resource that would admit of no failure; it is these qualities that he -brings to his every undertaking, and on the “Globe” he left behind him a -reputation that is worthy of his later achievements.” This was publicly -demonstrated by his Masonic career and his management of that great -charity—the Hospital for Sick Children. From the first he has held high -rank in the Masonic order. He entered the Craft in 1867, and was W.M. of -his Mother Lodge, King Solomon’s, in 1880-1, and of Mimico, No. 359, in -1879-80. After having served successively as Grand Senior Warden, as -District Grand Master of the Toronto District in 1886, he became in 1890 -Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada, and was subsequently chosen -Grand First Principal of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Canada, 1894-5, -and Provincial Grand Prior, Ontario Centre, Sovereign Great Priory of -Canadian Knights Templar, 1882; was Grand Representative of the Grand -Lodge of England in Canada, having been appointed to succeed Sir John A. -Macdonald in that office on the latter’s death, 1891; indeed, every -honor at the disposal of his fellow-craftsmen had been accorded him. In -September, 1902, in commemoration of the coronation of His Majesty King -Edward, the Duke of Connaught (q.v.) then and now Grand Master, was -pleased to confer the honorary rank of Past Grand Warden of England upon -several eminent personages, including the subject of this sketch. For -many years Mr. Robertson was president of the Canadian Copyright -Association and rendered important services in that regard, and also -Vice-President and President of the Canadian Associated Press, and Hon. -President of the Toronto Press Club. He was present, with his wife, by -invitation, in Westminster Abbey, at the coronation of King Edward and -Queen Alexandra. As an author of Masonic works, Mr. Robertson is well -known, having written the “History of the Degree of the Cryptic Rite in -Canada,” etc. (1888); “History of the Knights Templar of Canada, from -the Foundation of the Order to the Present Time” (1890); “Talks with -Craftsmen” (1893); “Freemasonry in Canada,” 2 vols., 1,000 pages each -(1899). He was a contributor to the U.C. College Memorial Volume, 1893, -edited the “Diary of Mrs. John Graves Simcoe, wife of the First -Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, 1792-6” (1911), as a press notice -said, “The book of the year, a superb work,” and the author and compiler -of “Robertson’s Landmarks of Toronto” (7 vols.). In 1888 the ambulance -system in Toronto was unsatisfactory, and with a view to making it -efficient, he imported from London, Eng., a modern ambulance, fully -equipped, and presented it to the city. There are about sixty ambulances -in Canada made from this model. The presentation marked a new era in -this branch of humane work. He later gave a collection of 4,000 Canadian -historical pictures to the Toronto Public Library, the largest -collection of its kind in the world, valued at $150,000. In January, -1917, he acquired and presented to the Public Library a magnificent -ornithological collection of birds and game of Canada, done in -water-color by William Pope, an English sportsman and artist, who -resided for forty years at Port Ryerse, Ont. This collection of -water-colors is pronounced by eminent Canadian biologists to be equal of -and in some respects superior to, the work of Audubon. Mr. Robertson -later added to this another collection of Canadian birds, exquisite -reproductions in color of hundreds of birds that are not in the Pope -Collection, so that the entire collection is unparalleled in Canada. He -founded and gave three magnificent silver cups, made by eminent British -silversmiths, from special patterns, for the promotion of cricket, -hockey and bowling; but it was as chairman of the Board of Trustees of -the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, that he will be most gratefully -remembered. For thirty-five years he carried the chief burden of this -important charitable institution, bringing to its needs not only much -money of his own, but aiding it with the full force of his powers as a -financier and organizer. He took an active part in the management and -visited the Hospital every day. His gifts to the Hospital amounted to -about half a million dollars during his lifetime, for he completely -equipped the Hospital buildings on College St. and on Elizabeth St., and -built and founded, in connection with the Hospital, the Lakeside Home -for Little Children, at Lighthouse Point, Toronto Island, with an -accommodation for 250 patients and an entire hospital equipment; here, -during the summer months, the suffering little ones are won back to -health and strength with the aid of the cool breezes which sweep across -Lake Ontario. Included in his benefactions to the Hospital he erected, -equipped and presented to the Hospital (as a memorial of his first wife) -a five-storey nurses’ brick residence, containing 125 rooms, which has -been declared to be the most perfect building of its kind ever erected; -in July, 1911, he presented to the Heather Club an extension to the -pavilion for tubercular children in connection with the Lakeside Home. -He built and established a complete plant for the pasteurization of -milk, on the Hospital grounds, College St., Toronto, the only one of its -kind in the Dominion. By his will the whole of his estate will -ultimately go to this philanthropy. He was an all-round amateur athlete, -and has been sometimes called “The Father of Amateur Hockey in Ontario”; -was President of the Ontario Hockey Association, 1899-1905. He sat for -East Toronto in 1896-1900 in the House of Commons as an Independent -Conservative, pledged to oppose any Government which would attempt to -establish separate schools in Manitoba, to support the “National -Policy,” and to vote for the general good of the country. According to -Sir Charles Tupper (q.v.) he was in all respects “a model member,” and a -devoted Imperialist. In religion he was a Presbyterian. In February, -1917, Mr. Robertson was offered in the New Year’s honors a knighthood -and a senatorship, both of which honors he gratefully declined. A -well-known politician said, “It is the first time in the history of -Canada that anyone declined a knighthood and a senatorship in the same -day.” He was a member of the National, Victoria and Arts and Letters -Clubs; Constitutional (Conservative) Club, London, Eng. “A born -journalist”—“Canada,” of London, Eng.; “A truly independent man”—D. -McCarthy, Q.C., M.P.; “Possesses a heart as big as that of an -ox”—Hamilton “Spectator”; “The good angel of many of Toronto’s -charitable institutions”—Hamilton “Times”; “No man need desire a more -noble monument than these Hospital buildings, which would keep Mr. -Robertson’s memory green if all other achievements were -forgotten”—Toronto “Globe”; “He has risen step by step until he is -to-day recognized as one of the keenest, most practical and successful -publishers of the Dominion. The blind goddess had nothing to do with his -success”—Ottawa “Citizen.” - - * * * * * - -=Hearst, Hon. Sir William Howard, K.C.M.G., K.C., M.P.P.=, Prime -Minister of the Province of Ontario, was born on February 15, 1864, in -the township of Arran, Bruce County, Ontario, the son of William and -Margaret (McFadden) Hearst. His father was a farmer, and the subject of -this sketch was educated at the public schools of Arran Township and -later at Collingwood Collegiate Institute. Subsequently he studied for -the legal profession at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, and was called to the Bar -of Ontario in 1888. He commenced the practice of law in Sault Ste. -Marie, Ont., where he became prominent in municipal affairs and active -as a speaker in the Conservative interest. He was an unsuccessful -candidate in Algoma East in 1894, but in the Ontario Legislative -elections in 1902 he helped to organize a group of newly defined -constituencies in Northern Ontario for Mr. (afterward Sir) James P. -Whitney, and by his effective methods largely assisted in placing them -in the Conservative column. When the Whitney Government was formed in -1905 Mr. Hearst was appointed Government agent in connection with the -guarantee loan furnished to the Lake Superior Corporation, under the -provisions of which the Government had a voice in the management of the -corporation until the loan should be liquidated. In this capacity Mr. -Hearst proved a business success but resigned the office in 1908 to -contest the riding of Sault Ste. Marie for the Ontario Legislature. He -was successful and in September, 1911, when Hon. Frank Cochrane resigned -the Portfolio of Forests and Mines to become Minister of Railways and -Canals in the first Borden cabinet, Sir James Whitney tendered the -vacancy in his cabinet to Mr. Hearst. The latter accepted and was -re-elected by acclamation by his constituents, whom he has ever since -continued to represent. On the death of Sir James Whitney in 1914, he -was asked to form a Government, all his former colleagues accepting -office under him. He was sworn in as Prime Minister and President of the -Council on October 2, 1914, this being practically the last official act -of Sir John Gibson, as Lieutenant-Governor. Following the death of Hon. -James Duff in December, 1916, he also assumed the post of Minister of -Agriculture, retaining it for two years until the elevation of Hon. -George Henry to the cabinet in 1918. In connection with his profession -as a lawyer he was created a K.C. in 1908 and was elected a bencher of -the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1912. On February 13, 1917, he was -created a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. -The Premiership of Sir William Hearst has been marked by energetic -administration and progressive legislation. He took office at a time of -peculiar difficulty in Canadian affairs, when the great war had been in -progress for two months and when it was becoming evident that it would -be necessary for a vast and united effort if it was to be successfully -prosecuted. Perhaps his most radical step was his act of 1916, to -prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors throughout the province of -Ontario. Subsequent orders-in-Council by the Federal government gave -this act the effect of absolute prohibition. In 1917 he introduced and -carried an act to confer the Parliamentary franchise on women. Under his -leadership a comprehensive measure previously enacted providing for -compensation to workmen for injuries was put into successful operation -and extended. An important measure of his provides for loans to -settlers, and he has also taken practical steps to deal with the housing -problem. The policy of Sir James Whitney and Sir Adam Beck of government -control and operation of the water powers of the province, known as the -Hydro-Electric system has been amplified under Sir William Hearst. In -connection with the war he visited the battlefront to personally -ascertain the needs of the situation. Under his administration the -Orpington Military Hospital in England was built as the gift of the -people of Ontario. As Minister of Agriculture he organized measures for -increased food production to meet the needs of soldiers and civilians -overseas; and is taking active measures to assist in reconstruction, by -helping returned soldiers to settle on the land. In religion Sir William -is a Methodist. On July 21, 1891, he married Isabella Jane Dunkin of -Sault Ste. Marie by whom he has four children, Lieutenant Howard Vernon -Hearst and Lieutenant Irving Hearst, both of whom are on active war -service; and Misses Isabel and Evelyn Hearst. Sir William resides at -Toronto. - - * * * * * - -=Meighen, Hon.

In 1904 Mr. Crawford, Liberal, had -been elected by a majority of 358. In the general elections, September -21, 1911, when the Laurier Administration was defeated at the polls on -the question of Reciprocity with the United States, Mr. Meighen was -again elected by a majority of 675 over his opponent R. Patterson. When -the position of Solicitor-General became vacant, June 26, 1913, Sir -Robert Borden invited Mr. Meighen to accept that office, and at a -bye-election held July 19, 1913, he was returned by acclamation. In -August, 1917, he became Secretary of State for Canada and Minister of -Mines, and as such devised and installed the organizations in Canada and -overseas for the holding of the war election of that year. On the -formation of the Union Government in the autumn of 1917 he accepted the -portfolio of Minister of the Interior, and was re-elected by a handsome -majority at the general elections which ensued. As a parliamentarian he -has been a success, and is held in high esteem by members on both sides -of the House. As a debater he is considered one of the ablest, and -always commands the respect of his colleagues when he rises to speak on -any important subject. Mr. Meighen was married June 1, 1904, to Jessie -Isabel Cox, to whom were born three children, Theodore Roosvelt Meighen -(1905), Maxwell Charles Gordon Meighen (1908), and Lillian Meighen -(1910).

ARTHUR WILLIAM CURRIE - Victoria, B.C.] - - - - - * * * * * - -=Cockshutt, William Foster, M.P.=, and Financial Agent (Brantford, -Ont.), is the son of I. Cockshutt, merchant of Brantford, and E. Foster -Cockshutt, was born in Brantford, October, 1855, and educated at the -Brantford and Galt Collegiate Institutes. Mr. Cockshutt’s chief public -efforts have been exercised in the direction of Imperial Unity and -Empire Trade development. He has been associated largely with Boards of -Trade and has attended several Congresses of the Associated Boards in -London, England, Montreal and Sydney, Australia, and in this direction -has been able to exercise considerable influence in Empire trade -co-operation. In the year 1909 he visited in this connection the -Commonwealth of Australia, making a very extensive tour of that great -country, and delivering addresses at all the important centres on the -theme of Empire Trade and Defence, and received much credit for the work -accomplished there. He also made an extensive tour of India, visiting -most of the cities of that great member of the Empire, and studying the -conditions of the country as well as trade matters and has taken part in -two extended campaigns in Great Britain, addressing many large meetings -at the important centres, including London, Manchester, Newcastle, -Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Torquay and many other towns and cities, for -which he was honored by letter from the then leader of the opposition, -the Honorable Arthur Balfour. Mr. Cockshutt was a member of the first -Hydro-Electric Commission of Ontario, appointed by the Municipalities -and labored in that work for nearly three years. The report of the -Commission has been a standard reference for development in this line -ever since, and was really the basis of the development that has taken -place more recently at Niagara Falls. He has travelled in most of the -great countries of Europe, made many tours in the United States and the -West Indies and Mexico, as well as having visited all the principal -cities of the Dominion and has addressed meetings in a great number of -them. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 1904, where he -served until 1908, being defeated in that year and re-elected in 1911, -and is at present serving throughout the present long Parliament. He is -ex-President of the Cockshutt Plow Co.; has been six times a delegate to -Chambers of Commerce of the Empire and is connected with a large number -of industrial enterprises, particularly in Brantford and also in other -centres, and has served on many industrial boards. In 1891, married M. -T. Ashton, daughter of Rev. Robert Ashton of Brantford, Principal of the -Mohawk Institute and has six children, Ashton, George, Eric, Maude, -Clarence and Phyllis. In politics he is an Independent Conservative and -is a member of the Anglican Church; has been a representative of the -Church of England at many important gatherings and a member of the Huron -Synod for close on to twenty-five years, been elected and re-elected to -the Provincial General Synod on many occasions and is still an active -member of all these Church organizations; is also Chairman of the -Orphanage situated on the outskirts of Brantford, known as the Jane -Laycock School; has taken considerable interest in local hospital work. -Mr. Cockshutt had the honor of being the official representative of -Brantford at the funeral of King Edward the Seventh; is Hon. Colonel of -the 125th Battalion, C.E.F., and is a remote relative of the late -Florence Nightingale, the distinguished woman who did such great work -for the British Army during the Crimean War and was one of the first -women to relieve soldiers of their sufferings on the battlefield. Mr. -Cockshutt took great interest in the recruiting of the 125th Battalion -at present overseas and has the honor of being the father of three sons, -all of whom are serving in the army at present and have all reached the -front at least once. His son, Major Ashton Cockshutt, now of the 125th -but formerly of the 10th Battalion, 1st Contingent, was a fully -qualified Lieutenant in the 103rd Calgary Rifles when the war broke out -and immediately enlisted and went overseas with the first Contingent, -training during the winter at Salisbury Plain, crossing to France in the -early spring, saw heavy fighting at St. Julien, Festubert, and Givenchy, -was wounded on June 6, 1915, and after convalescing at various military -hospitals was given furlough back to Canada and after a long hard -struggle regained his health and immediately re-enlisted with the 125th -Battalion and is now serving at Bramshott Camp. Another son, Lieut. -George Cockshutt, also enlisted early in the war with the 19th Overseas -Battalion, was a qualified Officer of the Dufferin Rifles, he served the -19th at the front for many months and was invalided home in September, -1916, owing to ear trouble and at the present time is serving with the -205th Machine Gun Section, and now overseas with 1st Tank Battalion.

Mr. Cockshutt is a member of the -Brantford Golf and Country Club, the National Club, Toronto, and also -connected with the Empire Club and Imperial Institute. His recreations -include golf, tennis and skating, and he has spent many summers in the -Highlands of Canada occupying an extensive tract of land on the shores -of Lake of Bays. - - * * * * * - -=Jetté, The Hon. Sir Louis=, Chief Justice and late Lieutenant-Governor, -was born at L’Assomption, P.Q., on January 15, 1836. He is the son of -the late Amable Jetté, who married Miss Caroline Gauffreau, the daughter -of a wealthy planter of Guadaloupe, in the West Indies. Finishing the -full course of study at the College of L’Assomption, he became a member -of the Provincial Bar, establishing himself as a legal practitioner in -the city of Montreal, where in a few years he came to be recognized as -an astute advocate as well as a prospective candidate for political -honors. In 1870 his legal fame was enhanced by the part he took -professionally in the famous Guibord Case, and by his service before the -Privy Council in England in behalf of the Provincial Government of -Quebec. At length, in 1872, he was elected member for Montreal East, -defeating Sir George E. Cartier, the French-Canadian colleague of Sir -John A. Macdonald. When the Liberal Leader, the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie -was Prime Minister, Mr. Jetté was offered the position of Minister of -Justice, but accepted in preference a place on the Bench. This he -retained for twenty years up to 1898, when he was appointed -Lieutenant-Governor of his native province. While still practising his -profession in Montreal, he became Professor of Civil Law in Laval -University and a Dean of its Faculty, having been honored by the same -with the degree of LL.D., as well as by Bishop’s College University with -a D.C.L. and by Toronto University with an LL.D. In 1891 he was -appointed Chairman of the Royal Commission charged with the -investigation of affairs connected with the Baie-des-Chaleurs Railway, -finally refusing to agree, however, to the decision of his two -colleagues. The several other offices he has filled are many and -important. After his term as Lieutenant-Governor had expired, he was -given a second term. And at the end of his second term he was appointed -Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench, retiring in 1911. Few -Canadians have had so many honors conferred upon them as has Sir Louis -Jetté. These include his university degrees; his knighthood from the -King of England; his Legion of Honour from France, of which he is a -Commander; the many addresses he has received from his fellow-members of -the Bar, as well as from the people; not to speak of his receptions by -King George and his late royal father, King Edward, and His Holiness the -Pope. He has been associated with the Société de Legislation Comparée; -with the Société d’Histoire Diplomatique of Paris (France); was a member -of the Alaska Boundary Tribunal; a Director of the Montreal Polytechnic -School; a member of the Council of Public Instruction, and an honorary -member of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec. In his earlier -years he was a contributor to certain city journals, having been editor -of one of them known as “L’Ordre.” His “Observations Relating to the -Code of Civil Procedure” proves him to be possessed of a wide vision and -keen insight, both as a lawyer and a literary expositor. The encomiums -which have been passed upon his services as a public servant go to show -Chief Justice Sir Melbourne Tait was in no way astray in his high -estimate of Sir Louis Jetté’s mental culture and administrative -astuteness, not only as a public speaker, but as a writer and overseer -of what is in line with justice and dignity of rule. He was married in -1862, to Miss Bertha Laflamme, daughter of the late Touissant Laflamme, -and sister of the Hon. R. Laflamme, the distinguished barrister and -advocate of Montreal. Lady Jetté, who is an authoress in her own right, -having written a Life of Madame d’Youville, won a further good name for -herself and her distinguished husband for the hospitalities they were -always pleased to extend to their guests at Spencer Wood during the two -terms and more of Governor Jetté’s residence there as Governor. - - * * * * * - -=Kennedy, William Costello=, Member for North Essex in the House of -Commons of Canada, is a resident of Windsor, Ont., and a prominent -figure in the oil and gas industry of the Essex Peninsula. He was born -at Ottawa, Ont., August 27, 1868, the son of William and Julia -(Costello) Kennedy. While he was yet a boy his parents moved to Toronto -to reside and he was educated in the Separate Schools and De La Salle -Institute, of that city. He began his business career in 1887 as a clerk -in the offices of the London and Canadian Loan and Agency Company, -Toronto, at that time one of the best known financial corporations of -the province. With this company he remained until 1897 when he accepted -an offer to go to Windsor, Ont., and engage in the oil and natural gas -industry. In 1903 he became President of the Windsor Gas Company and -continued in that office until 1917. At the present time he has many -interests in the city of his adoption. He was President of the Board of -Trade for the years 1909 and 1910, and a member of the Windsor Board of -Education from 1913 to 1918; and also a councillor of the municipality -of Ojibway during the same period. From early manhood Mr. Kennedy had -been a Liberal in politics and in 1917 when Sir Robert Borden formed a -Union Government and decided to carry out the policy of conscription -without submitting the question to the Canadian people through the -medium of a referendum, he was one of those Liberals who stood back of -Sir Wilfrid Laurier in opposing such a course. Though at the time it was -supposed that he was facing almost certain defeat he accepted the -Liberal nomination for North Essex. He was opposed by Col. Wigle, who -was generally regarded as a very strong candidate. In the two months’ -campaign that ensued Mr. Kennedy made many friends by his sane and -reasonable methods of electioneering and when the ballots were counted -on December 17, 1917, it was found that he had been elected by a -handsome majority, which was not annulled by the vote of the soldiers -overseas, details of which were received later. During the parliamentary -session Mr. Kennedy made his maiden speech as a legislator in the budget -debate, and made a very fine impression on friends and political -opponents alike by his brilliant handling of financial questions. Old -parliamentarians were agreed that it was one of the most promising -initial speeches ever made at Ottawa, and ever since the member for -North Essex has been regarded as an important factor in the future of -his party. His recreations are golf and motoring, and he is a member of -the following clubs: Detroit, Detroit Athletic, Essex County Golf, -Windsor and Ontario, Toronto. In religion he is a Roman Catholic and on -May 8, 1907, married Glencora, daughter of George W. Bolton, Detroit, -Michigan. - - * * * * * - -=Mitchell, Robert Menzies, Hon.= (Weyburn, Sask.), is a native of Port -Union, Ont., where he was born October 28, 1865, the son of James -Mitchell, a farmer, and Elizabeth Rodger, his wife. His father came of -Scottish ancestry, some of whose descendants settled in Canada and some -in Australia. Madame Melba, the great Australian prima donna, whose -maiden name was Nellie Mitchell, is a cousin of the subject of this -sketch. The latter was educated at Orangeville High School and Trinity -Medical School, Toronto, graduating M.D., C.M. in April, 1892. He at -once commenced the practice of medicine at Dundalk, Dufferin County, -Ont., and remained there until 1899, when he settled at Weyburn, Sask., -and continued in active practice there until 1907. He was Chairman of -the Weyburn Public School Board for ten years, and of the High School -Board for five years. In August, 1908, he was elected to the -Saskatchewan Legislature as a Liberal for the constituency of Weyburn, -and has been re-elected at each ensuing election. He was Chairman of the -Private Bills and Railways Committee of the Legislature for six years, -and was chosen as Deputy Speaker in 1916. Shortly afterward he was made -Speaker, and on his return to the House after the general elections of -1917 was re-elected to that office. Though a Liberal his fairness and -impartiality in the conduct of debate has made him universally popular -among politicians of all shades of opinion. He is a member of the -following fraternal orders: A.F. & A.M., I.O.O.F., and C.O.F.; of the -Weyburn Club, and the Assiniboia Club, Regina. His recreations are -football and curling, and in religion he is a Presbyterian. On August -17, 1892, he married Margaret, daughter of Donald and Flora McKinnon, -Badjeros, Ont., and his two sons have both served their country with -honor in the great war. R. C. Mitchell, born July 11, 1893, went -overseas with the First Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1914, and D. J. -Mitchell, born February 15, 1895, became a member of the Royal Air Force -a year or so later. - - * * * * * - -=Lemieux, the Honorable Sir François-Xavier=, Chief Justice of the -Superior Court of Quebec, was born at Levis on the 9th of April, 1851, -the son of Antoine and Henriette (Lagueux) Lemieux. From the Levis -College he entered the Quebec Seminary and afterwards graduated from -Laval University, in 1872, taking the degree of LL.B. In the same year -he started on his career as a lawyer in the city of Quebec, taking rank -almost immediately as an efficient pleader in the criminal courts of the -Lower St. Lawrence districts. His eloquent fluency and finesse as a -defender brought him into a lucrative practice; and there were in time -few prominent cases of criminality brought into court in which his -services were not sought after. Nor did his legal acumen in winning -cases arouse any envious feeling against him among his legal brethren, -since in 1896 he was elected Batonnier of the Quebec Bar, and in the -following year Batonnier-General of the Provincial Bar. Turning his -attention to politics, he sat as member of Levis in the Legislative -Assembly for nine years, and afterwards as member for Bonaventure, for -three years. As an orator, he has a marvellous faculty on the hustings -of carrying any large audience with him in his argument. At length the -widest fame came to him when he was called upon to defend Louis Riel, -the rebel leader of the half-breeds and Indians in the North-West, in -1885. The charge of high treason against the culprit was sustained, but -his legal defender was nevertheless acclaimed as one of the shrewdest -lawyers that could have been engaged to defend him. Subsequently, in -1892, he was chosen to defend the Honorable Honore Mercier, Premier of -Quebec, before the criminal court, under charges of maladministration. -Mr. Mercier was honorably acquitted. Five years after the subject of -this biography was appointed Puisne Judge in the district of Arthabaska -and afterwards in Sherbrooke. From Sherbrooke, he was finally removed to -Quebec where he holds the office of Chief Justice for the Province of -Quebec. The literary talents of Sir François have been proven by his -lectures and essays. His acumen as a judge has been openly acknowledged -by his professional associates. He is a citizen well worthy the honor -conferred upon him by King George and by Laval University, in the one -case of Knighthood and in the other an LL.D. His father-in-law, the late -Justice Plamondon, was a judge of the Superior Court of Quebec, Miss -Diana Plamondon becoming his wife in 1874. - - * * * * * - -=Turgeon, The Hon. Adelard, LL.D., C.M.G., C.V.O., Knight of the Legion -of Honour of France= (Quebec City), President of the Legislative Council -of the Province of Quebec, and a Governor of Laval University, was born -at Beaumont in the Province of Quebec, on December 19, 1863. He is the -son of Mr. Damase Turgeon, and was educated at Levis College and at -Laval University. Called to the Bar in 1887, he opened a law office in -Levis, but afterwards entered into partnership in Quebec with the -prominent legal firm of Roy, Langlais & Godbout. His career as a -parliamentarian was inaugurated by his election as member for -Bellechasse in 1890, a constituency which he continued to represent up -to 1909, when he retired from the Legislative Assembly to take his seat -in the Legislative Council and assume the high office of Speaker or -President of that body. While a member of the Assembly his eloquence -became an attractive feature in the many important debates in which he -took part, alike as Member and Minister. As an administrator and -public-spirited citizen, he has taken high rank as a publicist, having -retained the favor of Bellechasse from term to term for over a decade. -During the Tercentennial Celebration at Quebec in 1908, he was honored -by the Prince of Wales, now King George V, and was shortly afterwards -chosen as one of the members of the National Battlefields Commission, -which has ever since been engaged in laying out and beautifying one of -the most spacious public parks in Canada. In 1897 he was called to join -the Marchand Government as Minister of Colonization, holding the same -office in the Parent Cabinet, until he was chosen to act as Minister of -Agriculture and Provincial Secretary. In 1905, the Parent Administration -was transformed into the Gouin Administration, and in the latter Mr. -Turgeon accepted the portfolio of Lands and Forests, holding the same up -to 1909. On resigning his seat in the Assembly as a challenge to some of -his detractors, he was re-elected against Henri Bourassa by the electors -of Bellechasse as an acknowledgement of his mature administrative -abilities, and a warrant to his resuming his place in the Gouin Cabinet, -as well as preparing the way for his being called to the high office of -President of the Legislative Council. During his public career, he has -held many important positions outside of his parliamentary functions, -among these being President of the Quebec Land Company, Vice-President -of the Provincial Securities Company, Director of the Quebec Transfer -and Cartage Company, and member of the Comptoir Mobilier-Franco-Canadien -Company. He was one of the founders of the Society of L’Union Liberale, -and prominently connected with various political clubs. In July, 1887, -he married Miss Eugenie Samson, the daughter of Mr. Etienne Samson, of -Levis. As President of the Upper Chamber of the Provincial Parliament, -Mr. Turgeon has his residence within the precincts of the Parliament -Buildings, wherein his hospitalities form a prominent feature in the -social life of the community when parliament is in session, as well as -at other times. - - * * * * * - -=Rhodes, Hon.

A Unionist. Amherst, N.S. - - * * * * * - -=White, Rt. Hon. Sir William Thomas, P.C., M.P.=, Finance Minister of -Canada, is a Canadian statesman whose meteoric rise to fame during less -than a decade, has attracted more than national attention. He was born -at Bronte, Ont., November 13, 1866, the son of James and Elizabeth -(Graham) White. His father was a farmer and his early education was -obtained at Oakville public school and Brampton High School. Later he -entered Toronto University and graduated in 1895 with the degree of B.A. -and honors in classics. During his university career he won two -first-class scholarships and a gold medal. Subsequently he took up a -course of law at Osgoode Hall, Toronto and was called to the Bar of the -province in 1899, but never practised. During his period as an arts and -law student he supported himself, first as a reporter on the Toronto -“Telegram,” where his writings showed singular eloquence and ability; -and later, as one of the assessors of the Civic Assessment Department. -The knowledge of real estate values and of financial questions which he -had gained in the latter capacity, as well as his general abilities, led -a group of Toronto capitalists to tender him in 1900, the General -Managership of the National Trust Company, which they had recently -formed. This post he held for nearly eleven years and during that -interval attained a high status in the financial community. Though a -Liberal in politics, he had never been known as an active politician. In -the summer of 1911, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then Prime Minister, -appealed to the country to ratify the Knox-Fielding pact calling for -reciprocity in natural products between Canada and the United States, -Mr. W. T. White, as he was then known, was one of eighteen prominent -Toronto Liberals who issued a manifesto against the proposals of their -former political chieftain and decided to support Mr. Robert Borden. He -himself took the platform against the pact as liable to disturb the -equilibrium of trade at a time when Canada was enjoying unexampled -prosperity. The result of this and other appeals was that many thousands -of voters, previously Liberal, abandoned the party lines and defeated -the Laurier administration by a large majority. When called upon to form -a government in the latter part of September, 1911, Mr. Borden felt that -it was due to the large number of Liberals who had supported him, that -they should be represented in the Cabinet. On consultation with the -leaders of the group, known as “Borden Liberals,” they were unanimously -of the opinion that Mr. White was the best available choice. Despite the -fact that he was without previous political experience, the Conservative -Leader decided to offer him the most important portfolio in the Cabinet, -that of the Ministry of Finance. On Mr. White’s accepting the office, a -seat was found for him in the House of Commons by the elevation of Mr. -George Taylor, M.P. for Leeds, and formerly Conservative whip, to the -Senate. At a by-election held on November 4, 1911, Mr. White was elected -to Parliament by a considerable majority, despite the fact that the -election was marked by severe personal attacks on him, because of his -so-called “desertion” of the Liberal party. Mr. White answered the -challenge by the statement that he “believed that there was no healthier -sign of the times than that an honest man should change his party in the -interests of his country.” His maiden speech in the House of Commons, -which was delivered on Nov. 29, 1911, was awaited throughout the country -with great interest, and at once stamped him as one of the coming men in -Canadian politics. Since then his budget speeches have proclaimed him as -a financier of masterly intellect. Had Mr. White known in 1911 that the -task lay before him of financing Canada’s contribution to the -prosecution of the greatest war the world has ever known, he would -possibly have declined office. When in 1914, Germany made war against -all Europe, and Canada decided to support the Motherland, perhaps the -gravest task of all fell on the Minister of Finance, because up to that -time Canada had been a heavy borrower from the Motherland, and these -sources of supply would naturally be cut off if the war continued for a -lengthy period. In fact, in 1914, many eminent financiers believed that -the financial resources of the world would not stand the strain of a war -of more than six months’ duration. The Canadian Minister of Finance -however laid his plans for a long war; and in addition to the task of -financing Canada’s magnificent military effort, applied himself to the -problem of keeping up Canada’s trade at a figure that would enable her -to continue as a belligerent. He had also the task thrust upon him of -acting as banker for Great Britain, France, Russia and other -belligerents, who made the finance department at Ottawa the clearing -house for their enormous financial dealings with the merchants and -manufacturers of the United States. During the first year of the war -Great Britain was able to render financial assistance to Canada and -others of the overseas dominions; and Mr. White floated some large loans -in the United States. But it was already apparent that Canada must -shortly finance herself. In 1916 he visited England and fully acquainted -himself with the situation, and in the same year was created a Knight -Commander of St. Michael and St. George, in recognition of his war -services. Sir Thomas decided to test Canada’s own resources and floated -a large war loan the bulk of it being taken by Canadian capitalists, -although a certain number of small investors were also attracted to it. -Up to 1917, however, there were only about 60,000 holders of Canadian -bonds in this country. In the summer of 1917, when Canada seemed to face -a serious financial crisis, Sir Thomas decided to try the experiment of -a great popular loan to be known as the Victory Loan, on the lines of -the popular loans floated during the American Civil War, by the -celebrated financier Jay Cooke. He collected a superb organization, -embracing all the leading financiers, newspapers and selling agencies of -Canada and asked the people to lend their government $300,000,000, to be -spent entirely in Canada for war purposes. The result passed all -expectations, for the loan was over-subscribed by more than one hundred -million dollars, and about 875,000 became holders of Victory Bonds. -Canada was enabled to do this by the fact that Sir Thomas and the Borden -administration as a whole had, by adopting the policy of financing -British credits in this country, secured enormous war orders for -agricultural supplies and munitions for her farmers and manufacturers, -so that the flow of money during the war reached unexampled heights. The -first Victory Loan of 1917 was fruitful of good results, because it -enabled Canada to continue this policy on a more extended scale, so -that, though this enormous sum was invested in bonds, and added to the -savings of the people, a few months later the average of deposits in the -savings banks of the country was larger than it had been before the -first Victory Loan was floated. In the latter part of 1917 the health of -Sir Thomas broke down as a result of his stupendous anxieties and -labors, but after a vacation of several months in California he returned -to this country restored in health. In the autumn of 1918 he decided to -float another Victory Loan, asking, as in 1917, for $300,000,000, but -setting the real objective at $500,000,000. The result was another -enormous over-subscription, nearly $700,000,000 having been subscribed. -That such a showing should have been made by a country so limited in -population as Canada, is the best proof of his skill as administrator of -the nation’s finances during the most trying epoch in the history of the -world. So thoroughly has Sir Thomas the confidence of his leader, Sir -Robert Borden, that when in November, 1918, he left Canada for an -indefinite absence as a member of the European Peace Conference, he -appointed the Minister of Finance Acting Prime Minister, to take charge -of the hazardous task of re-organizing the country on a peace basis. Sir -Thomas is a profound student and thinker and a public speaker of rare -ability. Among his activities prior to his removal to Ottawa were those -of a member of the Board of Governors of Toronto University and Trustee -of Toronto General Hospital. He is a Methodist in religion, and a member -of the Rideau Club, Ottawa, and the York and Toronto Clubs, Toronto. On -Sept. 20, 1890, he married Annie Isabel, daughter of Ellis Silverthorne, -Jarvis, Ont. - - * * * * * - -=Price, Sir William=, the prominent capitalist of Quebec City, who has -been engaged in military operations during the European War as Colonel -of the 171st Battalion, at Valcartier, and later as an officer at the -front, is a son of Mr. Henry Ferrier Price, who married Miss Florence -Rogerson. He was born at Talca, Chili, on August 30, 1867. His uncle was -the Hon. Senator E. J. Price, on whose death he became leading partner -of the firm of Price Brothers & Company, in 1886. He was educated at -Bishops College School, Lennoxville, P.Q., and later at St. Mark’s -School, Windsor, England. He has been prominent in the public life as -well as the business circles of Quebec, having been a member of -parliament for one of the electoral divisions of the place and -afterwards Chairman of the Harbor Commission. It was while he held the -latter office that he took service as one of the organizers of the -Valcartier Military Camp, earning high praise from the Governor-General -and the Militia Department, and finally receiving his knighthood at the -hands of King George. As Colonel in Command he raised the 171st -Battalion, which he took over to England in 1916, continuing his -services with the army as one of the officers of a Railway Construction -Battalion in France, after the 171st had been absorbed in other -battalions, in terms of what is known as the Territorial System. No -citizen of Quebec has earned higher credit for patriotic effort than Sir -William. Setting aside his many business duties and resigning a -lucrative government position, he ably fulfilled the duties assigned to -him as a soldier. The responsible positions he has held as a business -man and a public-spirited citizen have been manifold. Besides being -President of the Price Brothers & Company, he has been Director and -Honorary Chairman of the Union Bank; a Director of the Quebec Railway, -Light, Heat and Power Company; Vice-President of the Canadian -Lumberman’s Association; as well as being President of the Metis Lumber -Company, the Jonquiere Pulp and Paper Company, the Gravel Lumber -Company, and President of the Canadian Export Co. Nor did his business -engagements hinder him from taking an active part in civic and -charitable enterprises to which he has given beneficently of his means. -At one time he was a Governor of the Jeffrey Hale Hospital, President of -the Board of Trade, Director of the Trans-Canadian Railway project, an -energetic supporter of the movement in favor of the National -Battlefields Park, and President of the Quebec Turf Club. As far back as -1887, he took a practical interest in local military affairs, having -been a lieutenant in the Eighth Royal Rifles, and being raised to his -captaincy before his withdrawal from that company in 1903. As a prelude -to his activity as a military organizer at the Valcartier Camp, he -raised two companies for service during the Boer War, and encouraged -rifle practice by presenting the Price Cup for competition at the -targets. As a parliamentarian he had a term of three years; but his -earlier defeat in the Rimouski constituency was repeated by Quebec West -in 1911. As has been well said of him, he has proved himself to be a -citizen of whom any community might well be proud. He was married in -1894, to Miss Amelia Blanche Smith, daughter of Mr. R. H. Smith, another -of Quebec’s most prominent and worthy lumber merchants. His family -consists of four sons and two daughters. Sir William has since his early -days been an enthusiast as a “portageur,” and a keen sportsman. He owns -two salmon-breeding rivers and extensive hunting grounds. While -soldiering abroad, he continued head of his firm, which has in its -employment several thousands of employees. - - * * * * * - -=Kemp, Hon. Sir Albert Edward= (Toronto, Ont.), son of Robert Kemp, an -Englishman, and Sarah A. Kemp, his wife, a Canadian; born at -Clarenceville, Que., August 11, 1858, and educated at Clarenceville and -Lacolle Academy. For many years the subject of this sketch has been one -of the leading manufacturers of Canada, and a successful business man. -Since 1895 he has devoted considerable time to questions of public -interest. In 1879 he married a Miss Wilson, of Montreal. He was -President of the Canadian Manufacturers Association in 1895 and was -re-elected in 1896. He was elected President of the Toronto Board of -Trade for the year 1899, and re-elected in 1900. In 1898 he was -appointed a delegate by the Board to the British Association, at its -annual meeting held in Bristol, also to the Fourth Congress of the -Chambers of Commerce of the Empire, held in London, June, 1900. He is a -member of the Board of Regents of Victoria University, Toronto; a member -of several Orders, among which is included the Orange Order, and many -National and Philanthropic Societies. Mr. Kemp was first elected to the -House of Commons at the general elections in 1900, and again returned in -1904. In 1908 he was defeated, but was re-elected at the general -elections in 1911 by a very large majority. Upon the resignation of Sir -Wilfrid Laurier and his Cabinet on October 6, 1911, following the defeat -of the Liberal Party at the polls the previous September, he joined the -Borden Government as Minister without Portfolio, and was sworn in a -member of the Privy Council for Canada on October 10, 1911. After the -outbreak of the war he was called upon by his Government to assume many -important positions, among which was included the Chairmanship of the -War Supplies Purchasing Commission, a position that required the keenest -foresight, courage and action, and which practically demanded all his -time. It later developed that the Government made no mistake in placing -him at the head of this Commission, and great credit is due him for the -manner in which he conducted its affairs. Upon the resignation of Sir -Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia in the Borden Government, in November, -1916, Mr. Kemp was asked by Sir Robert Borden to accept the position as -Minister of Militia, and accepted, and on December 14, 1916, was -re-elected by acclamation by his constituents in East Toronto. -Subsequently he was asked to accept the post of Overseas Minister, -resident in London, and in this capacity he served throughout the -momentous period of 1918, when he was directly in touch with Canada’s -Army in France. In social life he has many friends, and is always ready -to receive them in a manner that draws them closer to him. As a public -man there is a great future before him, and he has won praise for having -accepted office at the most critical moment in the history of Canada. -When the greatest war the world has known draws to a close, and the -history of the noble sons who fought and worked with the Allies in their -different nations is written, the name of Hon. Albert Edward Kemp will -come in for a full share of credit for the able and systematic methods -adopted in helping the Motherland to continue to wave the flag that -stands for freedom and justice. In religion he is a Methodist. - - - - -[Illustration: E.J. BEAUMONT, KITCHENER - M.G.

He was engaged in farming in the -Province of Ontario from 1871 to 1880, afterwards moving to Winnipeg, in -1880. He engaged in various occupations until the fall of 1883, when he -entered the lumber business under the firm name of Cameron & Company; -later, Cameron & Kennedy. The business was incorporated as the Ontario & -Western Lumber Company in 1892, and was later changed to the Rat Portage -Lumber Company, and he has acted as General Manager since 1892, and -President since 1894. He is also President of the Maple Leaf Flour -Mills, a Director of the Northern Crown Bank, and a Director of the -Manitoba Bridge and Iron Company. In 1902 he was elected to the Ontario -Legislature for Fort William and Lake-of-the-Woods, and was defeated in -the general elections of 1905 and 1908; was also an unsuccessful -candidate for the House of Commons for Winnipeg in the Federal general -elections in 1908. On August 1, 1911, he was appointed -Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Manitoba, which office he filled -with the greatest satisfaction until succeeded by the present incumbent, -Sir James Albert Manning Aikins, K.B. He was a Councillor for Rat -Portage in 1891, and Mayor from 1891 to 1894; was appointed a K.C.M.G., -December 31, 1913. In 1910 he was appointed Honorary Lieutenant-Colonel -of the 79th Highlanders, and has been very active in connection with the -Militia since the outbreak of the war, as well as in Patriotic work. He -married Margaret Cameron Ferguson, of Vankleek Hill, in 1880, to whom -were born two sons and one daughter; is a member of the Manitoba Club -and the St. Charles Country Club, and as a recreation is an admirer of -horses. Sir Douglas is a staunch Liberal in politics, and is considered, -by the leaders of his party, as one of the ablest statesmen in Canada. -In religion he is a Presbyterian and an active worker in Church and -Social Reform movements. - - * * * * * - -=Bégin, Louis Nazaire, Cardinal Archbishop of Quebec=, was born on -January 10, 1840. He is the son of Charles Bégin, of Levis, his mother’s -maiden name having been Miss Luce Paradis. His earlier education was had -in the schools and colleges of the Quebec district, up to the time of -his leaving for Europe, to prepare himself as a priest and professor. -Ordained in Rome in 1865, he returned to Quebec to assume the duties of -Professor of Theology and Church History in Laval University, with -collateral duties for a time as Prefect of Studies in what is known as -Le Petit Séminaire. It was in 1885 he was appointed Principal of Laval -Normal School at the time that institution occupied the premises of the -old Chateau Haldimand, over the site of which the spacious Chateau -Frontenac now extends its massive wings. Three years after, he was named -Bishop of Chicoutimi, eventually returning to Quebec to take up his -residence in the Archbishop’s Palace as Coadjutor of Cardinal -Taschereau, under the title of Archbishop of Cyrene. From 1894 to 1898, -he continued to be the Administrator of the Archdiocese of Quebec, -during the declining years of Cardinal Taschereau. On the death of the -latter, he succeeded him in the See of Quebec, the ceremony of his -official investiture in 1899 being an historic event of the greatest -interest to the whole province, as was the later celebration of his -election as a Cardinal under the title of Saint Vitalis. The details of -the distinguished ecclesiastic’s career form a brilliant page in the -annals of Canada. Alike at home and abroad, His Eminence Cardinal Bégin -has ever been known to fulfil his duty towards his Church and as a loyal -citizen of Canada. Frequently he has been called to foreign parts to -share in celebrations, such as the solemn coronation ceremonies of Our -Lady of Guadalupe at Mexico City, in 1895, where he preached one of the -memorial sermons, as well as at Rheims, during a like celebration in -1896, and at Grosse Isle in 1909, when he was the principal speaker at -the unveiling of the monument erected to the memory of the Irish -immigrants who had fallen victims to the typhus epidemic in 1847. He has -also been several times a guest at the Vatican, having enjoyed the -confidence of the three successive popes, Leo XIII, Pius X, and Benedict -XV, from the last of whom he received his red hat. He has ever been a -participant in all the public movements that tended to improve the -social and educational conditions in his diocese, having taken a leading -part in the founding of one of the leading newspapers of Quebec, known -as “L’Action Catholique” and having likewise obtained the restoration of -the Cathedral Chapter of Quebec, an institution that had become extinct -from the days of the Conquest. He was prominent in the enterprise of -unveiling a monument to the memory of Bishop Laval, as he has also been -in the various efforts put forth towards beautifying the city with parks -and monumental structures commemorative of historic events. He is a -Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and has been honored by -scholastic degrees of the highest merit, bestowed on him by the -University of Innsbruck, in Austria, as well as those he has received -from Laval and the Gregorian University of Rome. He virtually began his -professional career as a teacher of the young, and has never lost his -zeal in promoting, as a Member of the Council of Public Instruction, the -reforms that make for a right pedagogy in school and college work. His -pen has been an active one in adding to the literature to be found in -the library collections of his Church, such as “La Règle de Foi” and the -“Culte Catholique” not to speak of his writings on Canadian historical -topics, as for instance, his “Chronologie d’Histoire du Canada,” his -pastoral letters on the “Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Foundation -of Quebec,” and his address on the “Second Centenary of the Death of -Bishop Laval.” So wide is his knowledge of human affairs, so urbane is -he in his manner and so just in his decisions, so charitable is he in -his approach to the two sides of a public question, that he has more -than once been called upon to act as arbitrator between employer and -employees. During the many years of his episcopate he has organized over -fifty new parishes, and has never failed to urge the building of -spacious churches and school-houses and convents in the most of them. -The events of his life have been for the most part the events of his -native province and of Canada as well. Even during his travels abroad he -always seems to have had in his mind the maturing of a policy of -betterment for his people, and the fostering of good will among the -various elements of the populations of Canada. - - * * * * * - -=Langelier, The Honorable Sir François-Xavier=, Statesman, and -Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, comes of very distinguished ancestry, and -is one of the most respected, capable and learned of French-Canadian -gentlemen, who has taken a leading part in the public life of Canada, -and by his brilliant achievements, ripe scholarship and administrative -ability, has served as an inspiration and shining example to all who -would win a high place in the confidence and esteem of their -fellow-countrymen.

William Warren, B.C., Q.C., D.C.L., LL.D.=, was born near -the Village of Bedford, County of Missisquoi, Province of Quebec, on -September 30, 1845. His father, Thomas Lynch, came from the County of -Cavan, Ireland, about the year 1830. He served during the Canadian -Rebellion in the Shefford Troop of Cavalry, and died at Knowlton, Brome -County, on March 19, 1883. His mother, Charlotte R. Williams, was born -at Stukely, County of Shefford, Province of Quebec, in the year 1805. -Her parents were descendants of U.E. Loyalists, who came from the State -of Vermont at the close of the American Revolutionary War. She died in -1885. Mr. Lynch, after taking advantage of the elementary schools in the -vicinity of his birthplace, went to Stanbridge Academy in 1858, then a -most flourishing institution, under the direction of Hobart Butler, -M.A., where he prepared himself for a university course. During his last -years at Stanbridge he acted as assistant teacher to Mr. Butler, and -then entered the University of Vermont, Burlington, in August, 1861, but -owing to the Civil War, which had shortly before broken out, the -university course was considerably affected, and Mr. Lynch did not -continue his studies there. In September, 1862, he entered the Arts -Course of McGill University, Montreal, having secured one of the -scholarships offered at a competitive examination. His health failing, -he was obliged to abandon his studies before the Christmas examinations. -He then engaged in school teaching in winter, and worked on his father’s -farm in summer. In 1865 he was admitted to the study of the law, and -pursued his studies in the office, first of S. W. Foster, of Knowlton, -and afterwards of John Monk, of Montreal. He took his degree of B.C.L. -at McGill in May, 1868, and secured the Elizabeth Torrance gold medal, -and was admitted to practice in June. The following year he commenced -the practice of his profession at Knowlton, and subsequently removed to -Sweetsburg, the chef lieu of Bedford District. In the fall of 1870 he -assumed the editorial control of the “Observer,” which was started at -Cowansville, an adjoining village, and which became an influential organ -of public opinion in the district. In June, 1871, during the provincial -elections, which were then in progress, he went to Knowlton to report -for his paper the proceedings of nomination day. There were then two -candidates in the field, and to the surprise of Mr. Lynch, and without -his interference, both candidates withdrew, and he was declared member -elect for the County of Brome. During the Fenian troubles of 1866 Mr. -Lynch took an active part in the formation of a company of volunteers at -Brome, of which he became lieutenant, and remained such until his -resignation in 1871. During the Fenian raid of 1870 he was at the front -with his battalion. In keeping with the promise made to his electors, he -became a resident of the County of Brome, returning to Knowlton in the -fall of 1871. He has held successively the offices of school -commissioner and chairman of that body for a number of years; and was -also the Mayor of the Township of Brome, and Warden of the County. In -May, 1874, he married Ellen Florence, eldest daughter of J. C. Pettes, a -successful merchant of Knowlton, by whom he has two children. He is a -member of the Masonic fraternity, and was some years since, deputy grand -master for the District of Bedford. Mr. Lynch early in life identified -himself with the Conservative party, to which he has ever borne faithful -allegiance. He took an active part in the political discussions in the -Legislature of Quebec on the subject of the dismissal of the De -Boucherville Government, by M. Letellier, and it was upon a motion made -by him that the Joly Government were defeated on October 30, 1879. He -was made a Q.C. by the Joly Government in 1879, which was subsequently -ratified by a similar title conferred upon him by the Federal -authorities in 1881. When M. Chapleau assumed office as premier of the -province, he invited Mr. Lynch to the council as Solicitor-General, -which appointment was subsequently ratified by the electorate of Brome. -On the abolition of the office of Solicitor-General, Mr. Lynch was -appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands, on July 31, 1882. In September, -1887, his constituents tendered him a reception in the shape of a -picnic, which was attended by a large number of public men, and at which -a presentation of a handsome sum of money was made to him by his -political admirers and friends. He then went to Montreal to resume the -practice of his profession, in partnership with the present Mr. Justice -Archibald and Mr. Geo. G. Foster, K.C. Shortly after, he was appointed -by the Dominion Government a Commissioner, in conjunction with the late -Mr. Justice Burridge, then Deputy Minister of Justice, and Mr. Dingman, -of the Department of the Interior, to settle the Indian title to certain -lands in the Township of Dundee, County of Huntington, and continued to -hold that office during the successive administrations of Messrs. -Mousseau, Ross and Taillon, and until the defeat of the last-named -administration in January, 1887. During the session of 1887 he was named -by the House of Assembly one of the Commissioners to perfect the -revision of the provincial statutes. He was one of the leaders of the -Opposition to the Government of the late Honore Mercier until his -appointment to the bench in July, 1889, as Judge of the Superior Court -for the District of Bedford, his native district. He has always taken a -warm interest in educational matters, was twice President of the -Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers, was for some years a -member of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction, -and was the first President of the District of Bedford McGill Graduates’ -Society. In June, 1883, the University of Bishops’ College offered him -the degree of D.C.L., but owing to absence it was not conferred. In -1904, McGill University gave him the degree of LL.D. He is a devoted -member of the Church of England and has often been a delegate to its -synods. Since he became judge he has devoted his leisure to the -promotion of various matters of local concern, such as good roads, -historical societies and the Knowlton Conference. - - * * * * * - -=Parmelee, William George, LL.D., D.C.L.= (Quebec City), English -Secretary of the Department of Public Instruction, and Joint Secretary -of the Council of Public Instruction of the Province of Quebec, was born -at Waterloo, in the Eastern Townships, in 1860. He is a son of Rufus E. -Parmelee, whose father had come originally from the United States. On -the mother’s side, the subject of this sketch is of Scottish descent. He -received his early education at Waterloo Academy, finally graduating as -a teacher from the McGill Normal School of Montreal. He afterward became -head master of the Model School Department and, later, a Professor of -the Normal School. Previous to his holding these positions, he had been -a member of the staff of St. Francis College, Richmond, P.Q., from 1881 -to 1885. From McGill Normal School he was selected for his present -position in 1891; and for more than a quarter of a century he has been -in touch with the educational affairs of Quebec. He has proved himself a -departmental administrator of widely recognized professional acumen. The -academic honors that have been bestowed upon him from the time of his -extra-mural course at Queen’s University, from which he graduated in -1889, stand as an endorsation of his scholarship, these including a -D.C.L. from Bishop’s College in 1902, and an LL.D. from McGill -University in 1911. He has likewise been honored by being chosen more -than once, President of the Teachers’ Association of his native -province; President of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec for -three several terms; President of the Young Men’s Association; a -delegate to the Federal Council of the United Empire Educational League -in London, England, and later on as a delegate to the Imperial -Conference on Education in the same centre. Taking an interest in local -military affairs he was awarded a Captaincy in the 8th Royal Rifles -Company, and later on received the honorary rank of Colonel. Nor has he -neglected literary pursuits in his spare moments, having had published -two of his papers read before the Literary and Historical Society, and -entitled, “Wolfe as a Man and a Soldier,” and “The Fraser Highlanders.” -He has also won high literary credit as joint-collaborateur with Dr. -Arthur Doughty, the Dominion Archivist, in six volumes dealing with the -“Siege of Quebec.” In 1886 he married Miss Louise Foss, of Waterloo. -Their family consists of four daughters. - - - - -[Illustration: HON. P. E. BLONDIN - Ottawa] - - - - -=McCorkill, The Hon. Justice John Charles= (Quebec City), was born in -the town of Farnham, P.Q., on August 31, 1854. His father was Mr. Robert -McCorkill, of Farnham and the Eastern Townships. His mother’s maiden -name was Miss Margaret Meighen. His wife is a daughter of the Hon. -Senator Leonard of London, Ontario, their marriage having taken place in -1884. From the district elementary school, he entered the classes of the -McGill Model School, and in time obtained a certificate to teach from -the McGill Normal School. For a period he acted as Principal of the -Montreal British and Canadian School, thereafter taking his degree of -B.C.L. as a preliminary step to his becoming a lawyer. At first he -became a partner in the Greenshields legal firm, but subsequently -removed to the Bedford District and finally opened a central office at -Cowansville. While rising to a high rank as an advocate, he was -encouraged to enter the political field, and after suffering defeat -twice in succession, was at length elected to the Legislative Assembly -as the representative of Missisquoi. In time he was appointed -Legislative Councillor for the District of Bedford, where he was so -appreciatively known as a public-spirited citizen and an able lawyer, -who had held the position of Batonnier of the Bar and other offices of -rank. In 1903, he resigned his seat in the upper chamber of the -Provincial Parliament, to become Provincial Treasurer in the Parent -Administration, and was elected to the Legislature by the Constituency -of Brome. This office he held for three years, up to the time of his -appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court for the District of Quebec. -While Treasurer, his term was marked by important legislation, such as -the revision of the taxation laws relating to banking institutions and -succession duties, which resulted in a surplus for the province of -half-a-million dollars. After the date of his appointment to the Bench, -he was made a Joint Commissioner with the Hon. Mr. Mathieu and Mr. L. J. -Gauthier, to revise the Municipal Code of the Province of Quebec. His -record as a legal practitioner and advocate, as well as a financier and -public-spirited citizen, has been a full one, wherever he has resided, -in Montreal, in the Eastern Townships, or in the city of Quebec. For -several years he was Mayor of Cowansville, where he was also President -of the Missisquoi Historical Society. He has been President of the -Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, and is a member of the -Council of Public Instruction. Even in military affairs he has taken an -active part, having been Captain as well as Major in the Militia between -the years of 1879 and 1887. His literary tastes have expressed -themselves in the historical papers he has written from time to time. -Altogether the Hon. Justice McCorkill may truly be spoken of as -possessing a forceful and clear-visioned personality, able and willing -always to share in the civic and provincial advancement of the community -in which he lives or has lived. - - * * * * * - -=Taschereau, The Hon. Louis Alexander= (Quebec City), Minister of Public -Works for the Province of Quebec, is the son of the Hon. Justice -Taschereau, who married Miss Josephine Caron, the daughter of the Hon. -Justice Caron, formerly Lieut.-Governor. He was born on the 5th of -March, 1867. He was educated at the Quebec Seminary and Laval -University, graduating as a Licentiate of Law in 1889, preliminary to -his entering upon his professional career as partner of Sir Charles -Fitzpatrick, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. Later he -became associated with what is now the legal firm of Taschereau, Roy, -Cannon, Parent & Casgrain. As a lawyer, Mr. Taschereau came at once to -be recognized as one of the leading legal practitioners of the district, -among his successes being the part he took in the Gaynor and Greene -extradition case in 1902. In addition to his duties as an advocate he -took part in civic affairs, and for a time held a seat as an alderman of -his native city. In 1900, he was elected for the constituency of -Montmorency in the Legislative Assembly, and has continued ever since to -be its representative. Seven years after, with his skill in debate, duly -recognized by his parliamentary associates, he was selected to take his -place in the Gouin Administration as Minister of Public Works and Labor. -His administrative ability has been in keeping with his statesmanlike -insight and foresight, and his skill in debate. His advice is ever in -demand when any legal technicality has to be examined and explained to -both sides of the Assembly. In fact, he has taken a high place as the -Premier’s ally in all matters pertaining to the progress of the -province, while he has won the highest credit within parliamentary -circles and beyond them, for the efficiency of the Department in his -charge. He has been a member of the Battlefields Park Commission since -the day it was organized, and is likewise a Governor of the Catholic -Church Society. He is a nephew of the late Cardinal Taschereau, -Archbishop of Quebec. In 1891 he married Miss Adine Dionne, daughter of -the Hon. E. Dionne, of the Legislative Council of Quebec, by whom he has -had three sons and two daughters. Altogether he has made a record for -himself in his native city and province as an able advocate, an astute -governmental administrator, and a loyal citizen. Sprung from a -distinguished and talented family, his career as a public man has added -to its fame. - - * * * * * - -=Ross, James Gibb= (Quebec City), Senator of Canada, was born in -Carluke, a village of Lanarkshire, in Scotland, on April 18, 1819. He -came out to Canada in 1832, in company with his elder brother, John -Ross; and, after attending one of the private schools of Quebec for a -year or two, he entered the business office of his uncle, Mr. James -Gibb. At this time the firm of James Gibb & Company was one of the -largest of the wholesale grocery and provision houses in what has always -been known as the Lower Town of Quebec; and there the Scottish lad laid -the foundation of his business career, which was eventually to place him -among the wealthiest merchants of Canada. In 1843, Mr. Thomas O. Gibb, -son of Mr. James Gibb, returned to Quebec, after finishing his school -education in Edinburgh; and in the same year a company was formed in -which Thomas O. Gibb, John Ross, and James G. Ross were the partners, -until the first mentioned of the three died in 1845. Eventually, on Mr. -James Gibb’s death, the two Ross brothers took the business name of Ross -& Co., and as such continued in active operation up to the year 1868. By -this time the firm had amplified its business by other branches of -trading; and in 1868 the older of the two members of the firm withdrew -to conduct a business of his own, for the most part confined, as it was, -to the grocery and provision trade. With him was associated his youngest -brother, Frank Ross. At the time of the Senator’s death, in 1888, the -firm of Ross & Co. had developed into one of the wealthiest business -concerns in the country, having depots for the distribution of their -wares in nearly all the larger cities of Canada and the United States. -With millions at his command, the sole partner of the firm took an -active interest in shipbuilding and railroad construction. Nearly every -branch of industry was enhanced by the money advances of the -multi-millionaire. The shipping interests, especially, felt the effects -of his business acumen, especially when he took in charge for sailing -purposes the ships the building of which he had assisted with advances -of money, but which, for market reasons could not for a time be sold. -The railroads which came in for assistance included the Quebec and Lake -St. John Railway and the Quebec Central, both of which may trace their -success as paying concerns to the financial foresight of Senator James -G. Ross, who thus both directly and indirectly aided the colonization of -the country and its trading interests by the assistance he extended to -their promoters. Nor was it easy for one so prominent in the commercial -interests of the ancient capital to refuse to be nominated as a -candidate for parliamentary honors. On two several occasions he was -called upon to contest the electoral division of Quebec Centre, once in -the Conservative interest in 1872, against Mr. Cauchon, afterwards -Governor of Manitoba, and a second time as an Independent, in 1878, -against Mr. Malouin. In both instances he was defeated, though -afterwards he was considered worthy to succeed the Hon. David Price as -Senator, in 1884. He was unmarried; but in the families of his two -brothers, John and Frank, he is notably represented to-day by Mr. John -Theodore Ross, the only son of the former, and Frank W. Ross, surviving -son of the latter, both of whom have evidently in them the desire -inherited from their uncle, James G. Ross, to advance the interests of -their native city. The Hon. Senator Ross was a prominent citizen other -than in business and political circles. He took an interest in school -improvements and church advancement. He was for many years President of -the Quebec Bank, a Director of the Quebec High School, and an elder in -Chalmers Church. As may well be said of his beneficent uncle, James -Gibb, Senator James Gibb Ross was a liberal benefactor to the -institutions of Quebec, both before his death and after it. He -accumulated his millions in Peter Street, and every Protestant -institution in the city of his adoption benefited by his wealth in some -way or another. - - * * * * * - -=Gouin, The Hon. Sir Jean Lomer, K.C.M.G., LL.B., LL.D.=, Premier of the -Province of Quebec, was born at Brondines, of the County of Portneuf, on -March 19, 1861. He comes from a French-Canadian stock whose lineage can -be traced as far back as 1662. His father was J. N. Gouin, M.D., who -married Miss Victoire Seraphine Fugère in 1852. In his earlier years, -their son Lomer became a pupil of Sorel College, thereafter entering as -an under-graduate the College of Levis, and afterwards graduating at -Laval University. His collegiate honors include the degree of LL.D., -received successively from Laval in 1902, from Bishop’s College -University in 1913, and from Toronto University in 1915. He was called -to the Bar in 1884, after studying law under the late Sir John Abbott -and the Hon. B. Laflamme. He had thus been a student under the -supervision of a Prime Minister of Canada and of a Minister of Justice. -During his partnership with Judge Pagnuello and the Hon. Premier Honore -Mercier, whose daughter Eliza he married in 1888, he came into -prominence in the law courts of Montreal, being finally elected -Batonnier-General in 1910, after having served a term as Alderman of -that city, and elected a Member of the Local Legislature. In 1900 he -became Commissioner of Public Works in the Parent Administration for -four years. Resigning his place in the Parent Cabinet in 1904, he was -called to the premiership the year after, holding the portfolio of -Attorney-General up to the present time. During the general election of -1916 his administration of public affairs was upheld by a majority never -before vouchsafed to a Quebec premier; while the list of honors -conferred upon him since his advent to power is perhaps one of the -longest on record. He was knighted by the reigning Sovereign of the -Empire at the Quebec Tercentenary Celebration of 1908, and was made a -K.C.M.G. in the year 1913. Ever animated with a desire to see his native -province an advancing factor in the general progress of the Dominion of -Canada, as well as of the British Empire, he has been diligent in -promoting the public works that have to be fostered within the counties -and parishes, as well as in the cities and larger towns, in line with -the general advancement of the commonwealth. He has done his best to -improve the educational conditions of the communities, not forgetting -likewise to improve the highways and the industrial activities all over -the province. His zeal in establishing and liberally subsidizing -Industrial Schools and Technical Colleges has become a proverb in all -the provinces; while, in view of his support of a provincial grant of -one million dollars to the Canadian Patriotic Fund during the time of -war, his reputation as a broad-minded Canadian citizen has been placed -beyond all questioning. Senator David has pronounced a eulogium on -Premier Gouin that places him in rank with, if not beyond, those who -have preceded him in the Quebec premiership. Within these war-times he -has advocated a National War Service in the most fervent terms, -illustrating Senator David’s estimate of his statesmanship as that of a -highly capable servant of the State, in his impartial judgment, -prudence, eloquence, and administrative acumen. His share in the Bonne -Entente mission to Ontario in 1917, to plead, with others, for a closer -mutual understanding between the two leading races in Canada, has given -an éclat to his statesmanship. He would see Canada a unit while aiding -the mother lands in Europe by force of arms, and thus uphold the -prestige of the British Empire. And the various offices Sir Lomer Gouin -has held from the day he entered public life in 1891, indicate the -strenuous part he has played as a public-spirited Canadian. In 1891, he -was President of the National Club in Montreal, which was virtually “the -Executive of the Liberal Party” in the Montreal district. That year he -was defeated in his first election contest. Six years after he was -elected representative for the St. James Electoral Division of Montreal, -and thereafter has been member for his native County of Portneuf. He has -continued to be a Member of the Council of Public Instruction since -1898; became President of the American Fish and Game Protection -Association in 1910; was Chairman of the Ottawa Inter-provincial -Conference in 1906, and afterwards a delegate to a like Conference in -1910. As from one “learned in the law,” his edition of the Municipal -Code is a standard work; while no one has so well at his command the -details of parliamentary law-and-order as he has, as leader of the House -of Assembly. The record of his regime is concisely given in a neat -little volume published in 1916, under the title of “Le Gouvernment -Gouin et Son Oeuvre.” Another volume referring to the federal subsidies -in favor of the provinces was published in 1903, giving the amplified -record of an address delivered by Sir Lomer under the heading of “The -Actual Question.” These volumes, together with the reports of his -speeches from time to time, indicate how Sir Lomer Gouin has ever had in -mind the public interest—seeing to the improving of the conditions in -his native province, even to the widening out of its area as in the case -of the annexation of the District of Ungava, building government works, -and highways, and bridges, and never forgetting to urge it to keep pace -with its sister provinces in the federacy which includes them all within -the Dominion of Canada. In seeing to the advancement of the province he -has in charge as premier, he has made fame for himself as a loyal -statesman and dignified scholar, duly honored by the King and his -country’s seats of learning. He was married to Miss Alice Amos, his -second wife, in 1911. By his first wife he has had two sons—Leon, who -is practising law in Montreal; and Paul, who is a lieutenant on active -service. - - * * * * * - -=Drayton, Sir Henry Lumley, K.C., K.B.=, Chief Commissioner, Board of -Railway Commissioners for Canada, was born in Kingston, Ontario, April -27, 1869. He is the son of Philip Henry Drayton, who came to Canada with -the 16th Rifles of England, and Margaret S. (Covernton) Drayton. He was -educated in the schools of England and Canada. On September 14, 1892, he -married Edith Mary Cawthra, daughter of the late Joseph Cawthra, -Toronto, and has three daughters. Sir Henry Drayton was called to the -Ontario Bar in 1891 and soon became recognized as one of the leaders in -the legal profession. In September 1893, he was appointed Assistant City -Solicitor for Toronto, and when he resigned in September, 1900, he was -presented with a gold watch in recognition of the valuable services he -had rendered to the city in his legal capacity. He immediately -(September, 1900), formed partnership with Charles J. Holman, K.C., and -in January, 1902, was appointed Counsel to the Railway Committee of the -Ontario Legislature by the Chairman, the Hon. John Dryden. The following -year he was appointed representative of the Ontario Government for the -purpose of adjudicating upon and paying, on behalf of the Government, -the claims of workmen of the different Clergue Companies operating at -Sault Ste. Marie, and on January 29, 1904, he was appointed County Crown -Attorney for the County of York, on the recommendation of the Hon. J. M. -Gibson. In 1905 he was appointed Counsel on Civic Bribery Investigation, -Toronto, the Civic Investigation Court House in 1906, the Public School -Board Investigation, and also the Civic Investigation into the Medical -Health Department. January the 20th, 1908, he was created K.C. He -resigned his position as County Crown Attorney in 1909, and the -following year, April 25, 1910, was appointed Counsel for the -Corporation of the City of Toronto.

In July, 1913, he was appointed -Commissioner to deal with the question of Control of Ocean Freight -Rates. In 1917 Sir Henry Drayton was appointed a member of the -Drayton-Smith-Acworth Commission which investigated the Canadian railway -situation. When the work of the Commission was completed and their -report presented to the Government, he, as his fee for his able services -on the Commission, was presented with a cheque for $15,000 by the -Dominion Government. He refused to accept payment and returned the -cheque. Acknowledging the receipt of the returned cheque the then -Minister of Railways and Canals, Hon. Mr. Cochrane, wrote in part as -follows: “I can assure you that your very patriotic attitude in this -matter is most sincerely appreciated by the Government at a time when -every dollar which can be saved is of material importance to the -successful prosecution of the war.” In very many other ways since the -war commenced in 1914, Sir Henry Drayton has rendered valuable -services—financially, as a member of committees and in the direction of -transportation, supply and other matters. He is ever to the fore to do -all he can to help Canada successfully bear the burdens—financially, -commercially and otherwise—that this war has forced her to carry and no -one has ever rendered such services more freely and willingly. Sir Henry -Drayton is a member of the Toronto, Toronto Hunt, Ontario Jockey, -Rideau, Ottawa Royal Golf, Country (Ottawa), Connaught Park Jockey -(Ottawa), and the Kaministiquia (Fort William) Clubs. His address is 233 -Metcalfe St., Ottawa. - - - - -[Illustration: S. R.

R. -Dobell, lumber merchant, of Quebec, and a grandson of Senator Sir David -Macpherson, at one time Speaker of the Canadian Senate. He is a native -of Quebec, having been born on June 22, 1869. Receiving his elementary -education at the Rev. Canon Von Iffland’s Private School, he became a -student at the Quebec High School and later at the Charterhouse School -in England, previous to his entering the Royal Military College at -Kingston, Ontario. From that institution he graduated in 1890. After -serving as a Lieutenant in the Hazara Expedition, wherein his bravery -was mentioned in dispatches and by the award of a medal and clasp, his -advancement has proceeded steadily with his experience in active -service. He took part with the International Forces in the occupation of -the Island of Crete, and was there raised to the rank of Major. During -the South African War, he joined the Canadian Contingent, and won his -D.S.O. with other honors, during the several engagements of the -campaign. In command of a regiment of mounted infantry he shared in -conflict after conflict with the Boers, taking part in the relief of -Kimberley, and in the engagements of Paardeberg, Poplar Grove, -Prefontaine, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Diamond Hill, and many others. -After serving in Nigeria, he was given the rank of Lieut.-Colonel, his -name from time to time occurring in the dispatches to the War Office. As -an interruption to his service in Nigeria, he was called to China during -the Boxer uprising, and was present at the relief of Pekin by the -International Forces. On his return from China, he was appointed by the -War Office to the South African Intelligence Department, and became an -A.D.C. to the King. Later on he was gazetted as Inspector-General of the -West African Field Force, with the rank of Brigadier-General, a position -he was holding when Germany declared war in 1914. Since then he has -gained further distinction and promotion. With a combined force of -French and English troops numbering nearly ten thousand, he shared in -the conquest of the German Colony of the Cameroons, a territory covering -an area in all of 300,000 square miles. On New Year’s Day, 1916, the -order of C.M.G. was bestowed upon him by King George, and eventually, at -the close of the Cameroon Expedition, he received the honor of K.C.B., -as well as the Legion of Honor from the President of the French -Republic, being at the same time gazetted as a Major-General of the -British Army. A still later event in his career as a “soldier of the -king” led to his being placed in command as Lieut.-General of the Coast -Forces that were to advance from the Suez Canal into Palestine. -Altogether Sir Charles Dobell’s career has been a splendid one. Hailing -as he does from a district in Canada that has provided several military -officers of high rank to the forces of the Motherland, his -fellow-Canadians cannot but be proud of the record made by one of their -own as a soldier and commander. He was married in 1908, to Mrs. (Elsye -Bankes) Campbell, daughter of the late Lieut.-Colonel Meyrick Bankes, of -London, and widow of Captain F. L. Campbell, R.N. His two brothers, Mr. -William Molson Dobell, lumber merchant, and Mr. Alfred Dobell, advocate, -as well as his uncle, Mr. William Molson Macpherson, banker, are -prominent citizens of the city of Quebec. - - * * * * * - -=Garneau, Sir George=, formerly Mayor of Quebec City, and one of the -prominent merchants and capitalists of that city, who has been for many -years President of the National Battlefields Commission, is a son of the -late Hon. Pierre Garneau, Member of the Legislative Council of the -Province of Quebec, and several times member of the Provincial Cabinet. -On the mother’s side he was a grandson of Mr. Edward Burroughs, the -Prothonotary. Sir George is a native of Quebec, having been born on -November 19, 1864. He received his earlier education at the Quebec -Seminary, afterwards entering as a student the Montreal Polytechnic -School, where he graduated as Civil Engineer, in 1884. Four years -afterwards he took the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science in Laval -University, where for a period he was Titular Professor of Analytical -Chemistry. For a time he held the position of assistant engineer on the -construction staff of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, previous to -his being taken in as a partner in his father’s wholesale dry goods -establishment. Aside from his business pursuits, he identified himself -with civic affairs, and on being elected alderman, he was chosen as -Mayor in 1906, and at the close of his term was unanimously re-elected -for a second term of two years. It was while he was Mayor that he became -Chairman of the National Battlefields Commission, in 1908. During that -year there occurred the Tercentennial Celebration of the founding of -Quebec. In association with Earl Grey, he was prominently identified -with the supervision of the preliminaries to that Celebration, and has -since deeply interested himself, with his associate Commissioners, in -the laying out of the Battlefields Park, which is still in course of -completion as one of the most striking of Canada’s historic landmarks. -His zeal as an overseer of that enterprise and the interest he took in -the events of the Celebration, graced, as it was, by the presence of the -Prince of Wales, now King George V, and other notables of Canada and the -Motherland, was signalized by the honor of knighthood at the hands of -King Edward VII, an honor subsequently supplemented by the President of -the French Republic, in the bestowal of the Legion of Honor. On the -creation of the Quebec Public Utilities Commission, in 1910, he was -appointed member of the same and acting President, the appointment being -extended for a period of ten years. His career has been marked by the -holding of many other high positions connected with the progress of his -native city. For a time he was a Director of the Railway Company, under -which he had been in his earlier years a civil engineer. He has been -Director of the Prudential Trust Company, a Director of the Quebec -Steamship Company, a member of the Advisory Board of the Richelieu and -Ontario Navigation Company, a Director of the Quebec Land Company, and a -Governor of Laval University. His brother, the Hon. E. B. Garneau, was -appointed to the Legislative Council on the death of his father. Since -the demise of both of them, Sir George has continued to be President of -the firm of “Garneau Limited.” He was married in 1892, to Miss Alma -Benoit, daughter of Alphonse Benoit, for many years Secretary of the -Department of Militia and Defence of Canada. His family consists of five -sons and three daughters. In these later years Sir George has taken a -deep interest in the Entente Conferences for the promotion of unity -between the two distinctive races of Canada; and during the Toronto -Conference, he was received at a special Convocation of the University -of Toronto, and had the honor of LL.D. conferred upon him. The ancestors -of the Garneau family came originally from France in 1663; and the -subject of this sketch as a French-Canadian, using the French and -English languages with equal facility, has never failed to acknowledge -himself as an all-Canadian, devoted to the cause of a common -Canadianism, under the aegis of the British Empire. He also served in -the Canadian Militia, from which he retired with the rank of Captain of -Field Artillery in 1894. - - * * * * * - -=Cox, Herbert Coplin= (Toronto, Ont.), son of the late Hon. George A. -Cox, Senator, and Margaret (Hopkins) Cox, was born at Peterborough, -Ont., on June 29, 1873, and received his education at Jarvis Street -Collegiate Institute and Victoria University, Toronto. Mr. Cox was -trained to business life and in an extensive experience under his father -early developed aptitude and ability as a financier. In July, 1895, he -married Louise Bogart Brown, daughter of Charles Brown, Toronto. On -completing his education Mr. Cox entered the service of the Canada Life -Assurance Company and rapidly rose to the management of the company’s -largest branch. He entered into partnership with his father under the -firm name of George A. & H. C. Cox, in the management of the Eastern -Ontario and Michigan branches of the company in July, 1899, and became -sole manager of the business of that territory upon his father’s -appointment to the presidency. In October, 1912, he was invited to -accept the presidency of the Imperial Life Assurance Company, where he -obtained an invaluable experience in executive work. He retired from -this position in August, 1914, to become President of the Canada Life -Assurance Company on the death of his brother, E. W. Cox. He also -assumed the responsibility of various other offices and directorates -held by his late brother. While, however, his career as an insurance man -and financier has been such as very few men of his age have attained, -that represents but one side of a character remarkable for activity and -public spirit, as well as ability. In movements toward the betterment of -conditions in the life insurance business Mr. Cox has naturally taken a -keen interest, but his pursuits outside of business, especially in the -field of social betterment, are varied and important. He took a deep and -active interest in the erection of Toronto’s General Hospital, serving -upon several committees in this connection. He is a director of the -Toronto Conservatory of Music and is a member of the Music Committee of -the Metropolitan Church, of which he is also a trustee. He is likewise -chairman of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and Honorary Colonel of the -Mississauga Horse. Mr. Cox is President and General Manager of the -Canada Life Assurance Company, President of the Imperial Guarantee and -Accident Company, President of the Toronto Savings and Loan Company, -President of the Provident Investment Company, Vice-President of the -Central Canada Loan and Savings Company, Director of the Dominion -Securities Corporation, Director of the National Trust Company, Director -of the Canadian General Electric Company, Director of the British -American Assurance Company, Director of the Western Assurance Company, -Director of the Dunlop Tire and Rubber Company, and Director of the -Robert Simpson Company.

He is recognized as one of the country’s most -public spirited and progressive citizens. - - * * * * * - -=Casgrain, Philippe Baby= (Quebec City), lawyer, parliamentarian and -author, is of an old and distinguished family, which includes in its -record besides himself, the late Abbé P. H. Casgrain, of literary fame; -the Hon. Senator Charles E. C. Casgrain, M.D.; the Hon. Thomas Chase -Casgrain, the distinguished lawyer and Minister of the Crown, and the -Hon. Senator J. P. B. Casgrain. The subject of this sketch was born in -the city of Quebec, on the 30th December, 1826. He is the son of Mr. C. -E. C. Casgrain, who was at one time the Deputy Commissioner of Public -Works. His mother’s maiden name was Miss Anne Baby, a daughter of the -Hon. James Baby, Cabinet Minister. He had his earlier education at St. -Anne’s College. In 1850 he was called to the Bar, and was given his K.C. -in his thirty-third year, after being associated as a law-partner with -the Hon. Mr. Cauveau, the Solicitor-General of his time. After this he -was given a position as assistant in the Prothonotary’s Office, and was -later on chosen Clerk of the Circuit Court. Subsequently he was elected -a member of the House of Commons for the constituency of L’Islet, which -he continued to represent from term to term for nearly twenty years. It -was not until 1891 he was defeated by Mr. Georges Desjardins. During his -parliamentary days he was ever diligent in assuming his share of -committee work, having taken a prominent part in the Royal Commission -appointed to investigate the administration of public affairs in the -constituency of Rimouski. Two years after his defeat in L’Islet, he was -given the presidency of a second Royal Commission to enquire into the -affairs of the Montreal and Sorel Railway. During his long term of -office in the Court House, he gained a prominence as a writer and -investigator of the traditions that fringed the historical atmosphere of -his native city. He was elected for a term of two years President of the -Literary and Historical Society in 1898, and seven years afterwards he -was chosen for the same position a second time. He also was a member of -the Navy League, and took an active part in securing the Plains of -Abraham as a federal asset, thus preparing the way for its becoming a -permanent acquisition of the National Battlefields Parks Commission. In -1907 he was elected Vice-President of the Canadian Landmarks -Association, and was later awarded a diploma from the Royal Society of -Canada for his zeal in archæological research. The Transactions of the -Royal Society and of the Literary and Historical Society bear testimony -to his industry in preparing historical and antiquarian matter for -publication, which otherwise might have been lost. For instance, he -successfully located the site of the fountain from which the founder of -the colony, Samuel de Champlain, had water drawn to supply his -habitation, as well as the site of the house in which General Montcalm -lived during his sojourn in Quebec, and the house in which he died; the -site of the place of abode of Abraham Martin, whose name is perpetuated -in the name of the historic battlefield; the site of Dumont’s Mill, near -the baylet curvature of the St. Lawrence known as Wolfe’s Cove; the -location of Claire Fontaine, that gave its name to the street which, as -an elevated pathway on the brow of Perrault’s Hill, saw the marshalling -of Montcalm’s troops in three divisions; besides the locations of many -other historical landmarks in the Ancient Capital. Learned in the law, -he was held in high respect as an official of the Palais de Justice. His -long tenure of office in Parliament and out of it has always been -characterized by integrity of purpose in dealing with public matters. - - * * * * * - -=Gibson, Theron= (Toronto, Ont.), Valuator and Financial Agent, began -his career as an accountant with John Hogg, dry goods merchant, Guelph, -Ont., in 1875, after an early education in the Public Schools and -British American Business College.

The patronymic Cole is of very ancient -Saxon origin: It appears in the “Domesday Book.” The public records show -that in the year 1640, Sir John Cole, of Shenley, in Hertfordshire, -England, was a landed proprietor. His son, Adam, married and had issue a -son, Cornelius. This Cornelius Cole emigrated to America in the year -1708; in 1711 he became a justice of Albany County comprised within the -limits of what was called “Livingston Manor.” His land was next to that -of W. T. Livingston, and extended from the Manor House road to Jansens’s -Kill, or creek, and was one of the finest farms in the Manor. He had -three sons, named Nicholas, John and Adam. On the breaking out of the -rebellion, Cornelius Cole and his sons, John and Adam, espoused the -cause of England, and the sons joined the Royalist forces. As the war -proceeded the feeling ran so high against the “Tories,” as the Royalists -were called, and Cornelius Cole, although an old man, was seized and -imprisoned, where he died a victim of fidelity to Motherland. His -property was confiscated, and his sons forced to seek a home in the -wilds of Canada. In 1773 John and Adam Cole with his wife and her two -brothers, Jonathan, Jr., and Abel Fulford, left with other United Empire -Loyalists for Canada, and passing up the St. Lawrence, they landed and -settled in the County of Leeds, in that part now called the Township of -Elizabethtown, at a point on the River St. Lawrence about five miles -west of the present town of Brockville, which place is still called -“Cole’s Ferry.” Here Adam Cole settled, being, as he was frequently -heard to say, the first person to begin a settlement in the Township of -Elizabethtown. Some years after the close of the war, Peter, a son of -John Cole, returned to his grandfather’s old home in Ulster County, to -ascertain whether he could recover some of the family estate, which had -been confiscated, but failed, as the authorities had granted the -property to other persons. Adam Cole’s wife was Thankful Fulford, also -descended from Loyalist stock. Her father, Jonathan Fulford, sen., with -the rest of his family came in 1784, and settled in the same -neighborhood, and left numerous descendants. Adam Cole’s family, in -1812, consisted of nine sons and seven daughters, besides four who died -in infancy. Five of the sons served in the War of 1812, the eldest, -Peter, having assisted in the capture of Ogdensburg, and subsequently -held the rank of captain. The house of Adam Cole was the general -headquarters of the military, when they were in that section of country, -or when moving between Montreal and Kingston. It is related of Peter -Cole, the eldest son, that in the year 1810, the mail carrier was taken -sick at his father’s house, and Peter took the mail to Kingston, where -he received that from Toronto and carried it back to Montreal. At -Montreal he took charge of the mail for the west, which had been -accumulating for a month and weighed upwards of sixty pounds, and -carried it to Kingston. He accomplished the whole trip, going and -coming, of 430 miles on foot, in fourteen days, and this was in March, -when the trail most of the way was through the forest and very -difficult. He received for this service, from the Government the sum of -fifteen dollars. Abel Cole, who was the youngest son of Adam Cole, died -December 9, 1893, aged 88 years. His wife, Catherine Seaman, a -grand-daughter of Caleb Seaman, died Nov. 2, 1893, aged 83 years, being -one of the sons of Caleb Seaman who was with Lord Cornwallis at York -Town. Wilmot Howard Cole, second son of Abel Cole, was educated at -Brockville. He commenced mercantile business in 1855, and continued in -the same until 1882. The old spirit of loyalty which he inherited, -prompted him upon the organization of the Volunteer Militia of Canada in -1855, to become a member of the old “Brockville Rifle Company,” -commanded by Major Smythe (later of the 100th Regiment, British Army). -The late Col. James Crawford, William Fitzsimmons (a former postmaster -of Brockville), the late Samuel Ross, William Morris, Thomas Camm and -other business men of Brockville, shouldered their muskets and learned -the drill at the same time. Wilmot Howard Cole filled every position in -rank from private to colonel of battalion. In December, 1864, he went -with the Brockville Rifle Company, as lieutenant, to Amherstburg, in the -County of Essex, remaining there on duty until the following May. In -November, 1865, the fear of a Fenian Raid was so strong in the vicinity -of the River St. Lawrence, that the officers of the Brockville Rifle -Company (who were at the time, the late Col. Crawford in command, Lieut. -Cole, Lieut. Robert Bowie, and the late Lieut. Windeat), offered their -services without pay, and to increase their company to 100 men to do -duty for the protection of Brockville and vicinity, by drilling the men -and mounting a heavy guard every night, with sentries posted in -different parts of the town, the men only being paid twenty-five cents -per day. The offer was accepted by the government and that duty -performed until the ensuing March, when a large portion of the volunteer -force were called out, and a provisional battalion formed at Brockville, -under command of Col. Crawford, Lieut. Cole assuming command of the -Brockville Rifle Company, with which he remained on duty until the next -November, part of the time at Brockville and part at Cornwall. Again in -1870, as major of the 41st battalion, he was on duty at Cornwall during -the Fenian excitement. On June 28, 1871, he was appointed to the command -of the 41st battalion; on June 28, 1898, he resigned, having held the -command for 27 years, and was a member of the active force for 43 years. -In 1913 the Militia Department honored him with the full rank of -Colonel. Col. Cole occupied various positions of trust and importance in -the gift of his fellow-citizens. He was a member of the Town Council of -Brockville for fourteen years; a director for many years, and president -of the Johnstown Mutual Fire Insurance Company; a member of the -Independent Order of Oddfellows for many years, filling various offices -in the local lodge and also in the Grand lodge and Grand Encampment. He -was chosen by his brethren to fill the position of Grand Master the year -the Sovereign Grand Lodge met in Toronto, in September, 1880, who were -entertained by their Ontario brethren. He always took an active part in -everything that would advance the interests of his native town. In -connection with the late Allan Turner, he worked for many years to -obtain a system of waterworks for Brockville, and in 1881 they organized -a company, consisting of Allan Turner, John McMullen, Thomas Gilmour, -George A. Dana, and Wilmot H. Cole, to construct waterworks; and as a -result of the efforts of these gentlemen, Brockville has now a most -excellent system of water supply for all purposes. Colonel Cole was -elected a member of the Legislature of the Province of Ontario for the -Brockville riding, in the Liberal interest, at the general elections in -1875, and was a warm supporter of the Mowat Government. He received the -appointment of Registrar for the County of Leeds in February, 1882. He -was president of the Brockville Loan and Savings Company. Col. Cole was -a member of the Methodist Church, and for over fifty years a trustee of -the Wall Street Church in Brockville, and was looked upon by his fellow -church members as ready to assist in carrying forward all enterprises -for the benefit of the church. Col. Cole married Jane Adelaide, youngest -daughter of the late Abram Philips, of New York. Their family consisted -of four children, two sons and two daughters. The sons, following the -traditions of the family, entered the volunteer force very early. The -elder, Eugene Maurice Cole, was bugler in the Brockville Rifle Company -in 1866, and did duty with that company whenever on service; he -subsequently became lieutenant, after which he resigned, having removed -from Brockville. The youngest son, Capt. George Marshall Cole, was -captain of No. 4 company, 41st battalion. The latest enterprise which -Col. Cole had been connected with and will eventually benefit his native -town more than all the others, was the Brockville, Westport and Sault -Ste. Marie Railway. The idea of a railway from Brockville to Westport -had been entertained, and a charter was procured, but nothing further -was done, and after a time the charter expired. Subsequently, Eugene M. -Cole, who was in business in New York City, and enjoyed commercial -relations with gentlemen interested in building railways and other -public works, conceived the idea that a line of railway from Brockville -to Sault Ste. Marie would prove an advantageous route in many ways, and -at the same time benefit his native town. After much labor in gathering -statistical information, he laid the whole matter before his father, who -had it brought before the leading men of the County of Leeds, and the -proposition made that if the municipalities would bear the expense of -preliminary survey and obtain the charter, and grant aid by way of bonus -to the extent of $125,000, Eugene M. Cole would work up the scheme and -obtain the capital and contractors to build at least the first section -of the road to Westport. This was agreed to, the last bonus by-law being -passed on July 15, 1885, and work on the construction of the railway -commenced on January 13, 1886. Although ably assisted by many persons in -the County of Leeds in connection with the enterprise, the credit of the -inception of the scheme, and the labor in working it up materially and -financially, belong to Eugene M. Cole. Colonel Cole died December 13, -1915, in his eighty-second year, being pre-deceased by his wife by about -two months. - - * * * * * - -=Scott, James Guthrie=, the prominent railway manager of Quebec City, -was born in that city on February 13, 1847, the son of Hugh Erskine -Scott. His mother’s maiden name was Margaret Chillas. The family of the -Scotts has filled an important place in the community since the days of -Mr. Scott’s grandfather, who came from Scotland. Mr. Henry S. Scott, -hardware merchant, was his uncle, and Mr. William C. Scott and Mr. -Charles Scott, his brothers, all of whom took an active interest in the -progress of the city, as has their distinguished relative. The latter -received his early education at the Quebec High School. In his -seventeenth year he had his first start in business in the offices of -the Montmorency Lumber Mills, where he eventually became head of one of -the departments. In 1879, he entered the service of the Quebec and Lake -St. John Railway, becoming, in time, its general manager and assuming -the onerous task of having that line completed as far as Chicoutimi and -extended, under the name of the Great Northern, to Hawkesbury, Ont., -across the Ottawa, a distance in all of five hundred miles. But for Mr. -Scott’s supervisory tact and engineering skill, Quebec would hardly have -become the important railway terminal that it now is, not only of the -Canadian Northern System, but of the National Transcontinental. During -the earlier operations of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, Mr. -Scott and his Board of Directors organized a system of assisted -colonization that peopled the parishes all along their line, as many as -from ten to twelve thousand families being induced to take up homesteads -in the districts opened up for settlement. For twenty-five years Mr. -Scott was _facile princeps_ in these beneficent operations; and it was -only when the Canadian Northern Railway Company took over the properties -supervised by him in 1908, that he decided to retire from office to take -up other work involving the commercial advancement of his native city. -In 1916 he was elected President of the Quebec Board of Trade, after -many years of active service as one of its members, and is also -President of the British Columbia Skeena Coal Company. For many years he -has been a member of the Quebec Geographical Society and other -associations; and his contemporaries can look back with satisfaction at -the civic progress he awakened as a railway projector and business man, -and the manufacturing centres he succeeded in locating from the time he -undertook to complete the Lake St. John Railway. In June, 1908, upon his -retirement from the management of the railway, he was given a banquet by -the citizens of Quebec at the Chateau Frontenac, in recognition of the -enterprising and successful work he had done while completing extensions -north and west from the city, and at the same time was presented with -testimonials of value. And in addition to the story of his life as a -railway manager and projector, Mr. Scott has to his credit twelve years’ -service in the Militia, having been called out to frustrate the advance -of the enemy in certain border raids near Windsor, Ontario, in 1865, as -well as to protect Canada from the Fenian Raids, during the four years -succeeding that date. In 1873 he married Miss Sophy Mary Jackson; and in -1901 was married, for a second time, to Miss Cordelia Mary Jackson, -daughter of Dr. Alfred Jackson, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Laval -University. By his first marriage he has had two sons and a daughter, -and by his second, one son and one daughter. - - * * * * * - -=Bender, Prosper, M.D.=, and Litterateur (Quebec City), was born in -Quebec on July 30, 1844. He was the son of L. P. Bender, Advocate, his -mother’s maiden name having been Miss Jane McMillan. His school -education began at the Quebec Seminary and was continued at Laval -University, where he went through a successful course in _belles -lettres_ and collateral studies. Thereafter he entered McGill -University, where in 1864 he took his degree of M.D. On the following -year he entered upon his career as a medical man in his native city, -where, in 1868, he married Miss Amelia Scott, daughter of A. S. Scott. -At the time of his graduation, the Civil War between the Northern and -Southern States of the American Republic was nearing its climax, and in -the excitement of events an opportunity offered itself to the young -student to mature his skill in surgery and the healing art on the -battlefield. He was given employment in the army in North Virginia, -which was then under the command of General Ulysses Grant. As an -assistant surgeon he remained with that army up to the time of General -Lee’s surrender, his faithfulness and skill bringing him to the notice -of his medical associates and eventually to the notice of the General in -person. After the war, Dr. Bender proceeded to New York to gain further -professional experience in the hospitals, before entering upon the first -period of his residence in Quebec as a medical practitioner. During that -period he came into touch with several of the rising public men of the -town, who made a kind of literary rendezvous of his residence, much as -years afterwards the Circle de Dix used to hold their seances out at -Spencer Wood, under the hospital auspices of Sir Adolphe Chapleau. The -social gatherings at Dr. Bender’s had no doubt the effect of turning the -attention of the successful physician to literary work, leading him to -publish two volumes, respectfully titled, “Literary Sheaves,” and “Old -and New Canada.” In 1884 he removed to Boston, where he practised as a -homeopathist, and won a reputation among the literary men of that city, -as a contributor to the magazines and reviews. Within the last ten years -preceding his death in 1917, he had his residence again in Quebec. -During these years he published in amplified form a series of sketches -about the friends of his earlier comradeship. These sketches embodied -the characteristics of the brilliant literary guests who had once met -round his table, and were read with the greatest of interest by the -public as they appeared from time to time, as an illustration of the -author’s geniality of spirit and literary acumen. Altogether, Dr. -Prosper Bender’s professional and literary career stood as a blend of -duly recognized medical skill and critical literary insight, holding -always the confidence of his patients and being widely esteemed for his -bonhomie and intellectuality as a writer of books worth reading. - - * * * * * - -=Girard, Joseph= (St. Gideon, Que.), son of Patrice Girard and Marie -Tremblay, his wife, both French-Canadians.

Here he spent his -early days, receiving his education in the public schools. For a time he -followed farming as an occupation. However, he was inclined towards -mercantile pursuits and gave up the farm to become a general merchant at -Dobbington, in the township of Elderslie. The lumbering business -attracted his attention and he gave up the store for that occupation, -which was extensively carried on in those early days in Bruce. In 1902 -he moved to the village of Hepworth, where he became Vice-President of -the Hepworth Manufacturing Co., and also manager. Here he has resided -ever since, successfully conducting the business he is connected with. -Beside this he is interested in a number of other enterprises, being a -director of the Canada Beds Co., of Chesley, and a shareholder in the -Vincent Steel Process Co., of Detroit.

Pardee, _née_ Forsyth, was born at -Sarnia, Ontario, on December 29, 1867, and was educated at the Sarnia -School and at Upper Canada College. He subsequently entered the study of -Law and graduated at Osgoode Hall, being called to the Bar in 1890. He -was created a King’s Counsel in 1908, and became head of the law firm of -Pardee, Burnham & Gurd. In his student days and in the earlier years of -his professional career he took a keen interest in various athletics and -was a cricket player of note. He married, on December 31, 1892, Mary E. -Johnston, daughter of Hugh Johnston, and to them was born one daughter, -Pauline L. Early in life Mr. Pardee began to interest himself in public -problems and public affairs, and in 1898, when but 31 years of age, he -was chosen as Liberal candidate for the provincial riding of West -Lambton, being elected to the Legislature of Ontario the same year. He -sat in the Provincial House until 1902, when he was defeated by Hon. W. -J. Hanna, who subsequently became Provincial Secretary in the first -cabinet of Sir James Whitney. In the Dominion by-election of November -22, 1905, made necessary by the death of Dr. Johnston, the sitting -member, Mr. Pardee was chosen by the electors of West Lambton to -represent them in the Dominion House of Commons. He was re-elected at -the general elections of 1908 and 1911. In November, 1909, on the -nomination of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then Prime Minister of Canada, he was -unanimously chosen as Chief Government Whip, and still retains the -important position of Chief Liberal Whip to the present time (1917). In -the Dominion Parliament, as well as throughout the country, Mr. Pardee’s -public work soon won him a position of usefulness and responsibility. He -is a forceful and effective public speaker, and few public men are so -universally popular and so highly esteemed. During his parliamentary -career he has presided over, and served upon, many of the most important -legislative committees of the House of Commons and Senate. In 1910 he -was chosen by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to accompany him on his memorable tour -through the Canadian West, making the first visit with the then Prime -Minister to the new Pacific port of Prince Rupert. When, in 1911, the -Administration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier was defeated at the polls upon the -issue of reciprocal trade in natural products with the United States, -and the Liberal party passed into Opposition, Mr. Pardee continued as -Chief Whip and had a large share in the arduous parliamentary and -organization work which ensued. Following the outbreak of the great war -it was he who defined in Parliament, amid hearty approval from both -sides of the House, the patriotic obligations which devolved upon -Government and Opposition. He devoted his time and energy, both in the -House and out of it, to patriotic endeavor, addressing recruiting -rallies and contributing to the various national efforts of service and -sacrifice. He moved in Parliament for the appointment of a special -committee to consider national steps to recompense and aid returning -wounded and maimed soldiers and was named by the House as a member of -that committee. In 1918 he resigned the post of Liberal Whip and -supported Sir Robert Borden on the question of Conscription, but -declined a portfolio in the Union Government. In the general elections -of that year he was again re-elected for West Lambton by a handsome -majority. Mr. Pardee is strongly democratic in spirit, and during the -parliamentary session of 1913-14, made a vigorous plea to the House -against the indiscriminate bestowal of titles in Canada, and issued a -warning against the danger of creating a pseudo-aristocracy in this -young Dominion. In religion he is an Anglican and is a member of St. -George’s Church, Sarnia. - - * * * * * - -=Hinds, Leonard D’Arcy Bernard=, Judgment Clerk of the Supreme Court of -Judicature for Ontario, born Oct. 19, 1868, at Barrie, Ontario.

His parents were Alvah Bronson and Sarah -Tinker. Mr. Bronson is of mixed Scottish and Welsh descent, and the -family, which is now scattered through most of the Northern States, at -an early period settled in New England. Members of this enterprising and -clever family were the Hon. Greene C. Bronson, of the New York bench, -and the Rev. Asa Bronson, who was for many years pastor of the First -Baptist Church, at Fall River, Massachusetts. The first of the family to -find his way to Canada was the subject of our sketch, and shortly after -he came here he led off in the lumber business. H. F. Bronson spent his -youthful days at Queensbury, Warren County, New York, in the family of -the late J. J. Harris, and he concluded his education at the Poultney -Academy, of Vermont. “Young Bronson,” says a reliable authority, “became -an apt scholar in agricultural sciences, but soon showed a preference -for woodland foraging, pre-destined, as he was, to become a great -marauder of pine forests.” In 1840, Mr. Harris, already alluded to, -purchased extensive pine tracts, erecting mills on one of the upper -Hudson lakes. He formed a partnership with his young and trusted friend, -Mr. Bronson, “whose assets consisted of a sound constitution, a resolute -will, unbending integrity, skill with the hand, and a mind to work.” The -partnership continued for twenty-two years, and during the last ten -years of the association, the greater portion of the business -responsibility fell upon our subject, owing to the failure of Mr. -Harris’ health. It soon became plain that the pine was rapidly -disappearing from the upper Hudson; therefore, in 1848, Mr. Bronson -passed over to Canada, proceeding along the Ottawa Valley till the -thunder of the Chaudiere Falls burst upon his ears. At once he was -satisfied that here was an excellent place to begin lumber operations; -for the timber seemed inexhaustible, and the water power magnificent. He -returned home, but in 1852 he persuaded Mr. Harris to accompany him to -the Ottawa Valley. When they reached again the region of kingly pines -and booming waterfalls, they were everywhere met with testimony from -river experts, saying that the Ottawa was not suitable for the safe -driving of saw logs, but Mr. Bronson recommended to his partner the -purchase of hydraulic lots at the Chaudiere Falls, then held by the -Crown. At the sale of the lots, made by Mr. Horace Merrill, general -superintendent of the Ottawa River works, a purchase was made, and here, -under the personal supervision of Mr. Bronson, their mills were built -within sound of the thunder of the falls. The mills having been erected, -Mr. Bronson removed his family to Ottawa, and there they were -established permanently. The relation of Mr. Bronson to the sawn lumber -trade of the Dominion of Canada will be better understood when it is -learned that his was the first movement in the Ottawa District for the -manufacture of sawn lumber for the United States market. The original -mill embodied all the modern improvements of the times, including iron -gates of novel model, a contrivance planned by Mr. Bronson himself, and -afterwards used in most of the gang saw mills on the Ottawa River. -Several other gentlemen, stimulated by the enterprise and success of Mr. -Bronson and his partner, likewise set out for Ottawa; and, after a time, -chiefly owing to the persistency of Mr. Bronson, a series of costly -river improvements were constructed, which made the driving of logs upon -the Ottawa a matter of greater convenience than upon many a smaller -stream, which has no large lakes to act as a reservoir for checking the -fury of the spring freshets. In 1864, Mr. Harris retired from the -business, Mr. Bronson still continuing the extensive manufacture of sawn -lumber, and owing to his splendid abilities as a manager, his operations -not alone maintained their ground, but gradually increased. The present -firm at Ottawa is known as The Bronson Company. Mr. Bronson married, on -November 5, 1840, Editha E. Pierce, of Bolton, N.Y., and had four -children. Gertrude, the only daughter, is the wife of Levi Crannell. The -sons are Erskine Henry, Frank P., and Walter G. The family are members -of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Bronson, like another great prince of -business men, Sir Hugh Allan, did not care for political life, and held -himself aloof from parties, but he was connected with several benevolent -institutions and business enterprises. In 1889, death called this -pioneer Canadian lumberman and high-principled citizen. His private and -social relations had won for him everywhere good will and highest -regard. Men had learned to esteem the man because of his tested and -sterling worth. In the commerce of Canada Mr. Bronson’s name will go -down in history as the first lumberman in the Ottawa Valley to -manufacture sawn lumber for the American market, and as a pioneer in the -development of the resources of that section of Canada to the point -where its principal city was deemed worthy of being named as the Capital -City of the Dominion. Business courage and keenness of perception were -required to accomplish these ends, but in more ways than one Mr. Bronson -had shown himself to be a man of practical vision and rare foresight. To -men like the late Henry Franklin Bronson, Canada and in particular the -business life of the Capital, must ever remain in debt. - - * * * * * - -=Lemieux, Auguste, K.C., F.R.C.I., LL.B.= Few barristers in Ottawa are -better known or more popular than the subject of this sketch, who -occupies offices at No. 30 Rideau Street.

Sir Mackenzie Bowell, K.C.M.G., -ex-Premier of the Dominion and ex-Leader of the Conservative Party in -the Senate. He was born on December 27th, 1823, at Rickinghall, Suffolk, -England, the son of the late John Bowell, a carpenter and builder. He -came to Canada with his parents, ten years later, the family locating at -Belleville, Ont., then Upper Canada, which has ever since remained his -home, and where he was shortly afterwards apprenticed to learn the trade -of a printer in the office of the Belleville “Intelligencer,” a -newspaper of which in after years he became editor and proprietor. As a -young man, Sir Mackenzie became prominent in public affairs. He became -an Ensign in the Belleville Rifle Company, which he assisted in -organizing in 1857, and was one of the corps of observation on service -in Western Ontario during the American Civil War. During the Fenian -Raids of 1866 he was on service at Prescott. In 1874 he retired from the -service with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel of the 49th Battalion. He -also became prominent in the Orange Order and rose to the position of -Grand Master and Sovereign of the Order for British North America and -President of the Tri-annual Council of the Orangemen of the World. He -also took an interest in educational matters and served as Chairman of -the Public and Grammar School Boards, as Vice-President of the -Agricultural and Arts Association of Ontario, and as President of the -Ontario Press Association. A Conservative by conviction, he was a -candidate in North Hastings for the Canadian Assembly, in 1863. He was -defeated.

He was a member of the select -committee of Parliament to inquire into the troubles in the North-West -Territories in 1869-70. When the rebel leader, Louis Riel, was elected -to the House of Commons, shortly afterwards, the subject of this sketch -moved his expulsion as a traitor to the Crown. After the Conservative -victory of 1878, he entered Sir John A. Macdonald’s Cabinet as Minister -of Customs, and held that portfolio for thirteen years. In that capacity -it devolved upon him to carry out the new tariff system known as the -National Policy. On the death of Sir John A. Macdonald, he became -Minister of Militia in Sir John Abbott’s Cabinet, and on the demise of -the latter, Minister of Trade and Commerce in Sir John Thompson’s -Ministry. After the latter’s tragic death at Windsor Castle, England, he -was called on in December, 1894, to form a Cabinet, which he succeeded -in doing, taking the portfolio of President of the Council, and on -January 1, 1895, was made Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished -Order of St. Michael and St. George. When the Manitoba School question -arose, he was a strong advocate of justice to the minority, and after -some differences with his colleagues, he resigned the Premiership on -April 27, 1896. He was succeeded by Sir Charles Tupper, who paid him the -compliment of adopting his policy. In 1893, during his incumbency as -Minister of Trade and Commerce, he went to Australia to promote -inter-Imperial trade and the laying of an all-British Pacific cable -between Canada and that continent. Early in 1896 he went to England to -urge forward the Canadian-Australia or “all-red” cable, now an -accomplished fact, and sat in the third congress on the subject which -met in London, England. In 1896 he resumed the active control of the -“Belleville Intelligencer,” which he had relinquished when he entered -Sir John A. Macdonald’s Cabinet in 1878. In Belleville he was regarded -as the “grand old man,” and no Canadian boasted a wider circle of -friends in the country at large. The amiability of his nature, his large -intellectual capacity and his ability as a public speaker, marked him -for distinction. In religion he was a Methodist, and was married in -December, 1847, to Harriet Louisa, eldest daughter of the late Jacob G. -Moore, of Belleville. His helpmate died in 1884, and he followed her to -the grave in 1918.

Born at Harlem, County of South Leeds, Ontario, July 6, -1838. His family came from Birmingham, England, and were in politics, -Cobdenites. The family crest bears the motto “Sapiens et Fidus.” His -father was born in Vermont, U.S., Feb. 12, 1810, and came to Upper -Canada in 1815, locating in the County of South Leeds. After attending -school at Potsdam, N.Y., he entered the Medical College at Fairfield, -N.Y., after which he returned to Harlem, South Leeds, and began the -practice of medicine, which profession he followed with more than common -success, until his death at Athens, on February 20, 1883. He was Past -Master of Harmony Masonic Lodge, Leeds, one of the oldest, if not the -oldest, Masonic lodge in Upper Canada. He was Major in the Eighth -Battalion, Leeds Militia, was a staunch temperance man, a member of the -Methodist Church, and always took an active part in politics, from the -troublous times of the Rebellion of 1836-7 down to the time of his -death. At the time of the Beverly Election Riots in South Leeds, he -nearly lost his life at the hands of the Tory Party under the leadership -of Ogle R. Gowan’s Orangemen. He was one of the deputation from Upper -Canada who went to the rescue of Lord Elgin at the time of the burning -of the Parliament Buildings in Montreal in 1849. His connection with the -Masonic lodge has already been noticed; this lodge he resuscitated at -Farmersville, in 1859, under the name of “Rising Sun Lodge,” and was for -several years its Master; was a Justice of the Peace, Postmaster at -Harlem, and held other positions of trust. Dr. Chamberlain’s mother was -Eliza Ann Toffey, and was born at Quaker Hill, N.Y., Oct. 15, 1803, and -died at Athens, formerly Farmersville, on March 20, 1894. The -grandparents on both sides lived to very advanced years. The doctor has -one sister, born at Harlem, August 2, 1836, and now living (1913) in -Toronto. She is the widow of the late J. C. Miller, ex-M.P.P. for Parry -Sound and Muskoka District, and owner of the Parry Sound Lumber Co. The -early education of the subject of this sketch was gained from parental -instruction at night around the old home fireside, and at the Township -School. He attended the Grammar School at Perth for some months in 1851, -and then served some two years as clerk in the general mercantile -establishment of Henry Laishley, at Elgin, where he gained the business -training and experience that stood him so well in later life. In 1851 he -served as Lieutenant, under Capt. Wm. J. Smith, and Col. Young, in the -8th Battalion of Leeds Militia. Later he took up the study of dentistry -in the office of F. D. Laughlin, Ottawa. After practising his profession -for some time, he went, in the fall of 1857, to New York City, but -later, yielding to solicitations of his father, he returned to his home -in Athens, to take up medicine. He matriculated at Queen’s College, -Kingston, in 1859, and passed the final examination in March, 1862, -receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine and Surgery, and his license -to practice in Canada, from the hands of Governor-General Monk. On the -13th of April following, Dr. Chamberlain located at Morrisburg, County -of Dundas, on the St. Lawrence River, and during the succeeding years -built up a large and lucrative practice. In 1859 he was requested by the -government of Sir Oliver Mowat to take the Inspectorship of Public -Institutions of Ontario. The history of the doctor during these years is -the history of a busy life. Besides following his profession, he served -as Reeve of his municipality, member of the Counties’ Council, and -Warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Justice -of the Peace, Health Officer, member of the High and Public Board of -Education, Director of the Agricultural Association, and Director of the -Parry Sound Lumber Company. Inspector of schools for County of Dundas. -At the time of the Fenian Raid, he was member of a strong company of -volunteers under Captain I. N. Rose, Superintendent of the Williamsburg -Canals, and with other members of the company was out night and day on -guard at the locks, and in the village, as an attack was daily expected -to be made by General O’Neal. On the 1st of July, the General with 1,600 -men appeared on the bank of the river opposite Morrisburg. The -Government of Sir John A. Macdonald, realizing the seriousness of the -situation, and desirous of keeping informed of O’Neal’s movements, -appointed a man to keep in touch with O’Neal’s forces, but this man -failing to accept, Dr. Chamberlain, a strong personal, but not a -political, friend of Sir John’s, was detailed for this duty. He accepted -the appointment, and taking his horses and buggy, and accompanied by a -young man named Leslie Weaver, set out to follow the Fenian force, and -to report as fully as possible their movements and designs. Crossing the -river to Waddington, N.Y., on Capt. Murphy’s Ferry, on July 9, he found -that the Fenians had moved, and he followed them to Malone, about 50 -miles distant, over-taking them about dark. Staying over night and -having obtained all information possible, he left the next morning for -Plattsburgh, which place he made that evening. After a wearisome and -anxious night, he left Plattsburgh for Whitehall, at the foot of Lake -Champlain, arriving there the next morning, and at Saratoga in the -evening. He continued the journey to Troy and Albany, and returned -thence to Ogdensburg, Prescott, and home to Morrisburg. The result of -this close espionage, and prompt reports by the scouts, and the careful -guarding of the river, was that the invaders were compelled to abandon -their design of crossing the river, and to turn their faces to the west. -The doctor’s services on this occasion were most effective and valuable, -yet he never applied for nor received land grant, or medal, nor refund -of his expenditure. In 1879, the doctor, as Warden, was appointed by the -Counties’ Council, then in session, to go as their representative to the -eastern boundary of the province, to meet their Excellencies, the -Governor-General, the Marquis of Lorne, and the Princess Louise, and -welcome them to Ontario. Later in the year he presented to their -Excellencies at Government House, Ottawa, an address on behalf of the -inhabitants of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. -The doctor has always been an ardent politician, an indefatigable -worker, and a vigorous but generous opponent. He was the candidate of -the Reform Party for the Legislative Assembly for the county in 1879, -and was defeated by 81 votes. In 1882, he was again the party candidate, -this time for the House of Commons, and again defeated by 79 votes. -Nothing discouraged, he again came before the Electors, in 1886, for the -Assembly, and was elected by 25 majority. He was defeated next election -by 28 votes, and again in 1904, was defeated for the Commons. In -conjunction with his brother-in-law, Mr. W. G. Parish, of Athens, he -established in the seventies, the first three cheese factories in -Eastern Ontario. He carried on an extensive drug business in Morrisburg, -from 1886 to 1873, when he sold it to Messrs. Carman and Brown. In 1871, -he received the degree of L.R.C.P.S. from Queen’s College, Kingston, as -well as that of F.B.S. During his practice in Morrisburg he had as -students, Messrs. Hart, McLean, Howes, Musgrove, Lane, Shibbley, -Beckstead and McKay, all of whom became successful practitioners. He was -always a strong advocate of temperance, and a member of the Methodist -Church. He became a member, under dispensation of the Grand Master, of -Rising Sun Masonic Lodge, Athens, in 1857, and joined Excelsior Lodge, -Morrisburg, No. 142, G.R.C., in 1862, and is yet an honorary life -member, having filled every office in the gift of the lodge, and having -received various decorations and gold medals. In 1867 he became a member -of the Grenville Royal Arch Chapter, No. 23, at Prescott. In 1869-70 he -was elected by the Grand Lodge, District-Deputy Grand Master for St. -Lawrence District. In 1885 he received the 95 degrees in the Supreme -Rite of Memphis, known as the Sovereign Sanctuary Degrees. In 1873 the -doctor explored the country east and north of Lake Superior to the -height of land, examining for timber and minerals. In 1878 he explored -the country along the shores of Georgian Bay, the “Soo,” and to the head -of Lake Nipissing. In 1883 he visited part of the southern, middle and -western States, including California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico -and Mexico. In 1889, leaving Montreal, he travelled through the -North-Western Territories, and Victoria, Vancouver, Puget Sound, and -Washington Territory. From 1889 to 1904, he acted as one of the -Provincial Inspectors of Asylums, Prisons, Gaols and Hospitals, serving -in that capacity until 1904, when he resigned, owing to ill health. In -1906 he was appointed by the Dominion Government, under the Public -Health Department, Inspector of all the doctors employed on Public -Works, from the Red River to the Pacific Ocean. In pursuance of the -duties of this position, he had to travel distances of from 1,000 to -1,500 miles at a trip, ford rivers, make his own trail over prairies, -sleep in a tent wherever night overtook him, in that great lone land. In -the winter of 1907, he sent in his resignation, and in the spring of -1908, inspected and estimated the timber on the Dokis Indian Reserve, -Lake Nipissing. The pine timber on this Reserve was sold by the -Government at Ottawa in June, and the doctor bought one of the limits, -and in the fall had buildings, appliances, and materials complete for -lumbering operations. During the winter he took out, and in the spring -sent, 2,300 pieces of board timber, for the English market, by way of -Lake Nipissing to Callender, thence by rail to Kingston, and rafting it -thence to Quebec. He closed up this deal, and in 1910 went to -California, visiting by the way, the principal cities in the West. -During the past 30 years, he has bought and sold large quantities of -pine timber in Ontario, and prospected for and located mines in the -Rainy River and Lake-of-the-Woods Districts, and explored almost every -part of Northern Ontario mining and timber lands. Dr. Chamberlain -married, in 1862, Annetta, third daughter of Arza Parish, Esq., -merchant, Athens. He has one son, W. P., born at Morrisburg on May 19, -1863, and one daughter, also born at Morrisburg, March 8, 1871. The Dr. -and Mrs. Chamberlain celebrated their golden wedding on July 3, 1912. -They had resided in Toronto since 1890, but the lure of his profession -became too strong, and so the doctor has improved and embellished his -beautiful residence in Morrisburg, fitted it up with all the latest -devices and scientific appliances, and is conducting most successfully a -Sanatorium for the relief and cure of suffering humanity. - - * * * * * - -=Chapleau, Major Samuel Edmour St. Onge=, ex-clerk of the Senate, clerk -of the Parliaments and master in chancery, was born at Syracuse, New -York, in 1839. He is the second son of the late Pierre Chapleau, of -Terrebonne, Quebec, and was educated at Terrebonne College. In 1860 he -went to the United States, and at the outbreak of the Civil War, in -1861, entered the regular army of that country and received in -succession, promotion to the ranks of second lieutenant, first -lieutenant and Captain of the 16th Regiment of Infantry. He also -received the rank of brevet-Captain for gallant and meritorious service -at the battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and that of Major for gallant -service during the Atlanta campaign and at the battle of Jonesboro, -Georgia. He was at the battle of Shiloh, at the Siege of Corinth, and at -the battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga. He was sent to Memphis in -1866 during the riots in that city, and in 1868 was in command of the -troops at Augusta, Georgia, during the riots which took place between -the whites and the colored people on the occasion of the first election -of President Grant. He retired from the United States Army, January 1, -1871, and September 15, 1873, entered the Civil Service of Canada. He -successively held the appointments of Secretary Department of Public -Works, Sheriff of the North-West Territories, and Clerk of the Crown in -Chancery. On January 27, 1900, he was appointed Clerk of the Senate and -held that position until he retired, in the early part of 1917. In view -of his long and faithful service in the Senate, Major Chapleau was -appointed an honorary officer of that house and is allowed entree and -seat at the table on the occasions of ceremony. He married Caroline K., -third daughter of the late Lieut.-Col. G. W. Patten, of the United -States Army. Major Chapleau declined the honor of C.M.G. tendered to him -in 1914. - - * * * * * - -=Aikenhead, Thomas E.= (Toronto, Ont.), was born at Toronto, September -14, 1859, and received his education in that city. In 1873 he entered -his business career with his father’s firm, which was originally -established in the year 1830, and conducted for many years by his late -father, Mr. James Aikenhead and Mr. A. T. Crombie, under the name of -Aikenhead & Crombie. To-day this firm has some 100 employees, and the -subject of this sketch is President and General Manager, under the firm -name of Aikenhead Hardware, Limited, with extensive premises on -Temperance Street. During the earlier days of Canada there were but few -hardware houses of such importance, and Mr. Aikenhead set to work to -build up a business to suit the rapid development of the country and has -to-day made a reputation for himself as a leader in his own particular -branch. Besides his business connections he is an ardent worker in -church circles and a regular attendant of the Timothy Eaton Memorial -Church. He is a member of the Ontario Club, Toronto Bowling Club, Board -of Trade and the Ontario Motor League, taking an active interest in the -good roads campaign of 1910. He is also a director of the Tisdale Iron -Stable Fittings Co. In looking over the extensive buildings erected in -Toronto, one can only imagine the important part Mr. Aikenhead has -played from a business standpoint, and he can truly be classed as one of -the builders of Canada. - - * * * * * - -=MacDonald, Neil S., B.A., D.Paed.= (Toronto, Ont.), Public School -Inspector, is the son of the late John F.

He spent one year here, -when he was promoted to Bolton Avenue School. Mr. MacDonald held a high -ideal of success ever before his mind and backed it up with praiseworthy -perseverance, and he owes his marked success in life to the -stick-to-it-iveness which is one of his special characteristics. In 1910 -he graduated from Queen’s University with the degree of B.A., very much -to his credit, for he obtained this degree by private study while -filling the position of Principal in a city school. Mr. MacDonald -married Christina Lamb, the daughter of William Lamb, and has one son, -Donald, born on August 29, 1913. Upon the retirement of Mr. R. W. Doan, -in June, 1914, Mr. MacDonald became Principal of Dufferin School, -Toronto, and it has been said of him, “His educational attainments, -energy and enthusiasm mark him as a man well qualified to fill the -highest position a School Board may offer.” Besides managing the regular -school work, he took an active interest in the school sports and cadet -drill, and his scholars always obtained good standing in these. After -three years as Principal of Dufferin School, Mr. MacDonald was -transferred, in September, 1917, to Ryerson School, as Principal in -succession to the late W. E. Groves. Ryerson School is the school for -practice teaching in connection with the Faculty of Education.

McCullough projected Semi-Centennial Celebration of Canada -for 1917 as far back as 1910. He believes that a mutual respect for, and -confidence in each other, should be entertained by the great English and -French-speaking peoples constituting the Canadian nation. Lieut.-Col. -McCullough has addressed various Canadian Clubs throughout the Dominion -and has done excellent work in inculcating a robust Canadian sentiment. -F. D.

The family record shows his lineage back to John Beach, one of -three pilgrim brothers who migrated from England to New Haven Colony, -Conn., early in the Seventeenth Century, the two other pilgrim brothers -being Richard and Thomas. Richard first appears in the New Haven Colony -in 1638, and was a man of some note in his day. Thomas first appears in -the records in 1646, and settled in Milford, Connecticut. John is first -mentioned in the New Haven Colony records, January 4, 1643. Four years -later he bought “an house lott” there and in 1650 married Mary ——. -Next we find him at Stratford, Connecticut, where he acquired land in -1660 and was chosen “Town Crier” in the following years, being allowed -fourpence “for everything he should crye and every time he cryed.” He -signed the Articles of Agreement for the Wallingford Plantation in 1670, -and was granted a “house lott” there in 1671. He appears fourth in a -list of six persons of “Hiest Rank,” July 29, 1672, and in 1675 was one -of a committee to establish a Church, dying between the years 1678 and -1680, the ancestor of a large number of Beaches, scattered over United -States, Canada and South America. Mahlon Ford Beach, the subject of this -sketch, was born November 10, 1833, in Oxford Township, Grenville -County, Province of Ontario, where his father, Mahlon Beach, son of -David Beach, arriving from New Jersey, was one of the first settlers. -His Mother, Mercy May, born in New York State, May 12, 1798, was a -daughter of Lyman Clothier, who migrated to the vicinity and built the -first mills in what is now known as the Village of Kemptville. Married -Louise C. Wickmire, of Augusta Township, Grenville County, in 1865, and -leaves a family of ten boys, all of whom are living, born as follows: -Charles A., of Cornwall, 1866; Fred. W., of Morrisburg, 1868; Dr. Anson -W., of Toronto, and Benson C., of Ottawa (twins), 1870; Mahlon W., of -Kingston, 1872; Howard B., of Iroquois, 1873; D. Easton, of Ottawa, and -G. Weston, of Winchester (twins), 1875; J. Russell, of Ottawa, 1878; and -Olin A., of Ottawa, 1882. One daughter, born in 1877, died in infancy. -Mrs. Beach died in 1907, aged seventy-one years and eleven months, and -Mr. Beach married Mrs. Hannah M. Barber, of Winnipeg, in 1912, by whom -he is survived. Although controlling probably a quarter of a million -dollars at his death, Mr. Beach started life like thousands of other -poor boys, with only his native industry, wit and enterprise to raise -him above his restricted circumstances and give his talents a larger -field of activity. He was a born captain of industry and remarkable in -many ways, exciting a big influence not only in his community, but -throughout the county. Possessed of a strong personality, an untiring -energy, quick perception and bold and fearless in his business -enterprises, he left his stamp on the community in which he lived and -his name will always be connected with the village and township of -Winchester. This place was hardly a settlement when Mr. Beach first came -there, and when he erected his first mill it was the beginning of a new -life in the community, as previously the nearest mill was at Iroquois. -He was educated at the common schools of his native place and set out to -carve his own fortune early in life. He first worked at the millwright -business, and in 1856 went to the Township of Winchester, Dundas County, -where he built a small saw mill, later adding other machinery and -buildings, such as planing mills, sash and door, and flour mills. During -the years 1861-1864 he engaged in square timber operations, taking the -timber to Quebec. In the spring of 1883 he bought a water privilege on -the St. Lawrence Canal, at Iroquois, and moved there in June of the same -year, where he commenced a roller flour mill, which was put in operation -in the fall of 1884. At Mr. Beach’s place in Winchester, where the old -business is still continued, he saw grow up what is now a flourishing -village. Between the years 1861-1878 Mr. Beach was connected directly -and indirectly with the general store business and has always been -successful in his undertakings. In 1884 his mills at Winchester were -destroyed by fire, and a number of other valuable buildings, also a -quantity of sawn lumber, flour and wheat to the amount of about $75,000, -were all swept away without any insurance to cover the loss. This -naturally crippled him financially, but nothing daunted, he commenced -again, rebuilding the mills in a much better manner than before and -adding a furniture factory to them, thus showing that the spirit of the -man was bigger than any adversity and that he did not know the meaning -of failure. He met every obstacle with indomitable faith in himself as -the biggest asset of human enterprise, which, more than any other, was a -characteristic of Mr. Beach. He had absolute faith in his own judgment -and with great capacity and resource he soon recovered his losses. He -was President of the Beach Foundry Co., Ltd., of Ottawa, and also with -his son Charles A., established the Beach Furniture Factory, at -Cornwall. In 1909 he completed a water power development in Iroquois, -one of the latest and most improved hydro-electric power plants in -America. In order to carry out this undertaking, he was obliged to -resort to the European markets for the electrical apparatus. The -generators came from Sweden, where they were designed and made -especially for the conditions met with in development. It might truly be -said that this was the pioneer plant in Canada for the vertical type, -direct connected to wheel, operating under a low head of water. This -fact was attested to by many eminent engineers from all over the -American continent, who inspected the plant after its completion. In -1910, with his two sons, Benson C. and Charles A., he was interested in -the development of a 4,000 h.p. Hydro-Electric Power Plant at Hound -Chute, on the Montreal River, furnishing the first electrical energy -used in the Cobalt District. Associated with the late Hon. Andrew -Broder, M.P., he secured in 1882, a charter for the Montreal and Central -Canada Railroad. With the charter they interviewed Sir Wm. Van Horne, of -the C.P.R. Asked what they wanted for their charter and expense of -promoting, the reply was “We want a railroad.” The C.P.R. took over the -charter, the line was built and now forms part of the main line between -Toronto and Montreal. Mr. Beach was one of the foremost men interested -in the erection of the present magnificent Methodist Church at -Winchester. His public career has been confined to municipal affairs. He -was warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry for -the year 1873. In politics he was a Liberal, and in religion a -broad-minded adherent of the Methodist Church, and opposed to -ostentation. Even passing his eighty-third birthday, Mr. Beach exhibited -remarkable vitality of mind and body, being still actively engaged in -his several interests, but on January 4, 1917, he suddenly passed away, -the direct cause being due to acute congestion of the kidneys, -complicated with pneumonia. His useful and successful life will long be -remembered with respect. - - * * * * * - -=Macdonald, John= (Toronto, Ont.), the present head of the great -wholesale dry goods firm of John Macdonald & Co., of Toronto, is still a -young man. He bears the name of his father, the founder of the business, -and was born on the 4th of November, 1863, at the old family homestead, -Oaklands, a beautiful villa on the hills overlooking the city of -Toronto. He was educated at Upper Canada College, which boasts the names -of a very large number of distinguished families on its rolls, and while -still a lad entered (1880) the great dry goods establishment which then -bore his father’s name and was founded by him in 1849. Under his -distinguished father’s guidance he received a sound business training, -and was thus, on the death of the latter, able to undertake the great -responsibility devolving upon him. The firm was made a Joint Stock -Company, of which he was appointed President in 1906. He is a Director -of the following: Bank of Toronto, Confederation Life Association, -Toronto Hotel Co., Ltd., Guarantee Company of North America, Millers and -Manufacturers Insurance Co., Humane Society, Hospital for Incurables, -Academy of Music. Honorary Governor Toronto General Hospital; member -Toronto Board of Trade; Chairman Bureau Municipal Research; Trustee and -Official, Yonge St. Methodist Church; Vice-Chairman, Financial -Committee; member Defence League. The late Hon. John Macdonald sat in -the Senate of Canada for several years, and was a most distinguished -figure in religious and philanthropic work. The subject of this sketch -is a man of varied interests and wide social popularity, while retaining -the sound business energy characteristic of his family. In the affairs -of his alma mater, Upper Canada College, he has taken a deep interest, -and was one of those public-spirited graduates who took an active part -in the work of reorganization which a few years ago put it on a sound -basis and largely increased its usefulness. He is also a member of the -Methodist Communion, in which his father was so long an eminent figure, -and has interested himself in the affairs of Yonge Street Methodist -Church, of which he is a Trustee. He holds the office of Justice of the -Peace, but fortunately is not compelled to frequently exercise his -function as a magistrate. Among the commercial organizations with which -he is identified, may be mentioned the Toronto Board of Trade, in which -he is prominent in the dry goods section. His is also one of the -best-known names on the roll of the Commercial Travellers’ Association, -one of the most powerful organizations in Canada. He is also a member of -the British Empire League, the object of which is to further the -progress of an enlightened Imperialism in Canada; of the well-known -benevolent society, the Ancient Order of United Workmen; of the -Caledonian Society, to which he belongs by virtue of his Scottish -descent; and is a member, also, by virtue of the family traditions, of -the York pioneers; a member also of the Methodist Union College Heights -Association, Upper Canada College Old Boys’ Association, St. Andrew’s -Society, and the Canadian Institute. Clubs: York, National, British -Empire. Like all men of active mind, Mr. Macdonald has a hobby, and in -his case the hobby is horseflesh. His beautiful home at Oaklands always -boasts some fine animals in its stables, and he has earnestly devoted -himself to the improvement of Canadian stock. He was one of the original -promoters and is a Director of the Annual Horse Show at Toronto, and is -also an active member of the Horse Breeders’ Association, and of the -Hackney Horse Association. It will thus be seen that Mr. Macdonald is a -man of catholic tastes and wide energies. He resides at 116 Farnham -Avenue, Toronto. - - * * * * * - -=Longley, Hon. J.

He quickly -made a reputation by his ability, and in 1883 was appointed by the -Provincial Government as one of the commission for the revision and -consolidation of the Statutes. Journalism had always attracted Mr. -Longley, and while a law student he had become identified with the -“Acadian Recorder,” of Halifax, as its chief editorial writer. -Subsequently he joined the staff of the “Halifax Morning Chronicle,” and -for some time filled the responsible post of managing editor. Mr. -Longley’s literary and clear attractive style has borne fruit in -contributions to many of the leading reviews and periodicals of England -and the United States. In 1898, “Love,” a religious and philosophical -essay appeared in book form and has passed through several editions. He -has also written “Socialism, Its Truths and Errors”; “The Greatest -Drama”; “A Material Age”; “Canada and Imperial Federation”; “Religion in -the 19th Century”; “Makers of Canada” (Series); “The Political History -of Canada” (four volumes complete); “Life of Joseph Howe,” and “Life of -Sir Charles Tupper.” He was President of the Nova Scotia Historical -Society and a member of the Royal Society of Canada.

The name of Massey is known throughout -the length and breadth of Canada, not only on account of the vastness of -the business interests associated with that name, but because of the -great philanthropies with which it is also synonymous. As the surviving -head of the family that has built up Canada’s greatest individual -industrial enterprise, the figure of Mr. Chester Daniel Massey, the -subject of this sketch, is doubly fraught with interest. He is the son -of the late Hart A. Massey, who was the son and successor in business of -Daniel Massey, the founder of the great establishment for the -manufacture of agricultural implements now known as the Massey-Harris -Company, Limited, and has been associated with that business, of which -he is now the Honorary President, since boyhood. Both the brothers who -had also been identified with the growth and management of the -enterprise, Charles A. Massey and Walter E. H. Massey, have also passed -away. But Mr. Chester D. Massey is splendidly carrying out the -traditions of the family. He was born on June 17, 1850, in Haldimand -Township, in the County of Northumberland, Ontario, and received his -education at the Public Schools of the province. While still a boy he -entered the business establishment of his father, then centred at -Newcastle, Ontario. Literally speaking, he has grown up with the -business, which in turn has grown up with the country (coincident with -the vast expansion of agricultural enterprise in Canada). In 1879 the -headquarters of the Massey firm were removed to Toronto, where Mr. -Massey has resided since the year 1882. In 1884 his eldest brother, -Charles A. Massey, died, and the duties devolving on him became the -heavier. The period that has elapsed since then has been one of immense -expansion, which the firm attained by a judicious policy of amalgamation -and by extending its agencies not only from the Atlantic to the Pacific, -but beyond the seven seas in all the corners of the earth. As has been -intimated, commercial interests do not by any means absorb the entire -attention of Mr. Massey. He is largely interested in all religious and -philanthropic movements. He is a member of the Methodist Church, to -which he is greatly attached, and his voice is at all times valued in -its councils. He is a Governor of the University of Toronto; a Regent of -Victoria University, and a Trustee of the Metropolitan Church and the -Methodist Deaconess Home and Training School, all of Toronto. He is also -a Trustee of Massey Music Hall, one of the finest buildings that -unselfish citizenship ever gave to a community. As chief executor of his -father’s estate, he necessarily takes a deep interest in the valuable -works of philanthropy which have been carried out under the provisions -of the will. On March 17, 1886, Mr. Massey was married at Erie, Pa., to -Miss Anna D. Vincent (deceased, London, England, November 11, 1903), and -secondly to Miss Margaret Phelps, of Gloversville, N.Y., Jan. 3, 1907; -has two sons by first wife, Charles Vincent and Raymond Hart Massey. - - * * * * * - -=Smith, William, M.P.=, for South Ontario (Columbus, Ont.), was born in -the Township of East Whitby, November 16, 1847, is the son of William -Smith and Elizabeth Laing, his wife, natives of Morayshire, Scotland.

His father was the late James -White, Esq., a prominent merchant, well known throughout South-western -Ontario, and for more than twenty-five years Clerk of the County of -Oxford, in which office he succeeded his father, who was one of the -early Scotch pioneers of Woodstock. His mother was Dorothy Jessie -McLeod, eldest daughter of W. C. McLeod, Esq., one of the most -widely-known merchants and financiers of pioneer days in Ontario. Mr. -White’s early education was carried on in the Woodstock Public and High -Schools, after which he entered the University of Toronto, where he -graduated from the School of Practical Science with high standing in -1892. He later obtained from the University of Toronto the degree of -M.E. (mechanical engineer), being the first graduate of that institution -to receive this degree. After graduating, Mr. White followed his -profession in connection with manufacturing establishments in Canada and -the United States, and for some years was Chief Draughtsman for the -Canadian General Electric Company, at Peterboro. Subsequently, he was -Lecturer in Mechanical Drawing and Machine Design at the Toronto -Technical School. He spent about five years in London, England, as -engineering expert to Messrs. Brown Brothers, for whom he executed -important commissions on the Continent, as well as in the United States, -travelling extensively in connection therewith. August 28, 1901, Mr. -White married Aidine Squire, eldest daughter of Hon. Watson C. Squire, -LL.D., of Seattle, Wash., ex-United States Senator from that State, and -formerly Governor of Washington Territory, and Ida Remington, eldest -daughter of Philo Remington, Esq., the noted manufacturer of firearms. -Mr. White has three children—James Arthur, Remington, and Caroline -Lathrop. Returning to take up his residence in Canada in 1902, Mr. White -continued his professional work. In 1905, representing the noted -engineers, Messrs. Ross & Holgate, Mr. White personally canvassed -leading manufacturers in South-western Ontario respecting power -requirements and collected much of the field data basic to the -recommendations of the Ontario Power Commission, the precursor of the -present Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Later he worked -chiefly upon constructional engineering and devoted considerable time to -designing in connection with Harbor Works for the Department of Public -Works, Canada. In 1910, he was engaged by the Commission of -Conservation, Ottawa, with which he still remains as Consulting -Engineer. He has reported for this Commission upon the Water Powers of -the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and British -Columbia; also upon the St. Lawrence Long Sault Rapids, the Chicago -Drainage Canal, Niagara Power and other matters. In 1911, he was -appointed Consulting Engineer representing Canada to the International -Joint Commission, under the Boundary Waters Treaty, to report jointly -with the consulting engineer from the United States upon the official -reference relating to the levels of the Lake of the Woods, including the -control and utilization of its waters and those tributary thereto. The -Report upon this subject was completed in 1917 and is a comprehensive -work to which the engineering press has referred as reflecting great -credit on its authors. Mr. White has written extensively upon -engineering subjects, but his principal efforts have been devoted to his -various reports for the Federal Government. He is regarded as a high -authority on many questions connected with International waters, and has -made a special study of Niagara power and the exportation of electric -energy with its relationship to coal supply. To the important subject of -Canada’s fuel problem, Mr. White has, for many years, devoted special -attention. Since as early as 1910, he has contributed valuable articles -to such periodicals as the “University Magazine,” the “Monetary Times,” -and prominent engineering and technical journals, as well as to the -daily press, urging that this subject be viewed and dealt with in its -broad national aspect, and that Canada take immediate steps to secure -the greatest possible independence with respect to her fuel supply. Mr. -White possesses a very comprehensive collection of rare books dealing -with the early History of Astronomy. He is opposed to the views of -modern _theoretical_ astronomy as represented by the Copernican System, -and an article from his pen in the University Monthly, in 1909, entitled -“The Shape of the Earth,” has excited considerable comment. In religion -Mr. White is a Protestant. He is non-sectarian, but of strong Christian -belief and is a staunch supporter of the Scriptures. In politics, as in -religion, he is independent. - - * * * * * - -=Beaumont, Ernest Joseph= (Kitchener, Ont.), Local Registrar of the -Supreme Court, is the son of Joseph Wilson Beaumont, D.D., and Louisa -Beaumont. He was born at Mirfield, Yorkshire, England, February 28, -1855, and received his early education at “The Grammar School,” -Sheffield, Eng. Coming to Canada as a young man, Mr. Beaumont practised -law in Galt, Ont., for twenty-seven years, and served as Town Solicitor -of that place for eighteen years. He was also a member of the Public -School Board for 4 years, and late Major of the 29th Waterloo Battalion, -retiring with rank in 1888. He received his present appointment as local -Registrar of the Supreme Court of Ontario in January, 1908, is a Roman -Catholic in religion and a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters. -Ernest J. Beaumont married Helen McNab, daughter of Benjamin Wood of -Ingersoll, Ont., and had one son, George Joseph Beaumont, Lieutenant in -the 11th (S.) Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment, B.E.F., France, who -died of wounds in France on January 24, 1917. - - * * * * * - -=Mackintosh, Charles Herbert= (Ottawa, Ont.), was born in London, -Ontario, in 1843; a son of the late Captain William Mackintosh, county -engineer of Middlesex, Ontario, and Leonora Sophia, daughter of Colonel -Dickenson of Jamaica, West Indies. Captain Mackintosh came to Canada as -an attaché of the ordnance branch of the British Army. Mr. Mackintosh -has led an unusually active life, succeeding in making his way, unaided, -to positions of honor and influence. He was educated at the Galt Grammar -School (Tassie’s), and Caradoc Academy (Middlesex Co.), two well-known -institutions at that time. When the Prince of Wales (afterwards King -Edward VII) visited Canada in 1860, an ode of welcome from the pen of -Mr. Mackintosh, then a youth of seventeen, was presented to His Royal -Highness. Two years later, under the title of “Fat Contributor,” he -wrote for the London “Free Press,” a series of articles, -characteristically entitled “Hurry-Graphs.” These attracted wide -attention, and the entrance of the young writer into journalism was a -foregone conclusion. He relinquished the study of law, and became, -first, reporter, and soon afterwards city editor of the “Free Press.” -Believing that the early history of pioneer life in Upper Canada should -be heard from the lips of those who had passed through the ordeal, Mr. -Mackintosh organized a Committee, the result being a Pioneer Banquet, at -which 400 old settlers from local and distant points were in attendance. -Col. J. B. Askin, one of the early pioneers acted as chairman, Mr. -Mackintosh, as the youngest Canadian, acting as Secretary. Subsequent to -this, he assisted in promoting the Western Fair, which to-day has -expanded to noticeable proportions. His journalistic career was marked -by rapid progress. In 1864 he was city editor of the Hamilton “Times.” A -year later he founded the “Dispatch,” of Strathroy, which he conducted -until 1873. In 1868 he married Gertrude Cooke, daughter of T. Cooke, -J.P., of Strathroy. In 1871 he founded the Parkhill “Gazette,” which he -controlled for some time, while still managing the “Dispatch.” In the -same year, he unsuccessfully contested North Middlesex as Conservative -candidate for the local legislature. In 1871 he visited Chicago during -the fire, and wrote a description of the terrible event; 60,000 copies -being sold in two weeks. He was also elected a member of the town -council of Strathroy, in which capacity he exhibited talents, which -afterwards showed to better advantage in a wider sphere. Believing in -himself, as all men do who come to the front in human affairs, he -proceeded to prepare for a higher sphere in public life which he was -destined to fill. Deciding that the protection system which had long -been established in the United States, deserved consideration in Canada, -he accepted the position of managing editor of the Chicago “Journal of -Commerce.” While resident in the western metropolis, he studied -carefully the protection system, as well as other issues in the United -States. He also wrote a graphic account of the United States’ “panic of -1873.” Returning to Canada, at the request of Sir John A. Macdonald the -day after his government was defeated in 1873, he declined an editorial -position on the “Mail”; sold out his interest in the Strathroy -“Dispatch,” and went to Ottawa, being appointed editor of the Ottawa -“Citizen,” the Conservative journal of the capital. He at once attracted -attention, not only because of the vigorous management and writing of -the “Citizen,” but because of knowledge of public questions. At the -celebration of the O’Connell Centennial, he wrote a poem which won the -gold and silver medal over many others submitted. He was an ardent -protectionist long before the Conservative party accepted that system as -a plank in their platform, and must be counted as one of the leaders in -that economic movement. In 1877, the late John Riordon, of St. -Catharines, urged Mr. Mackintosh to co-operate with him in reorganizing -the “Mail,” but the offer was again declined. His active interest in -public affairs, combined with an unusual share of those qualities which -make men popular with their fellows, caused him to be nominated for the -Mayoralty of Ottawa in 1879, the result of the election being his return -by a large majority. He promoted the first Dominion Exhibition, which -was opened by the then Governor-General, Lord Lorne—afterwards Duke of -Argyle. In the two succeeding years he was re-elected, and though -unseated on a technicality after the third contest, was a fourth time -favored with the support of the people. As Mayor of the Capital of -Canada, he inaugurated many reforms, which proved of great benefit to -the city. When retiring from the Mayoralty, the city presented him with -an address; also, citizens generally passed resolutions and presented an -illuminated address. In the General Election of 1882 he was one of the -Conservative candidates in Ottawa for the House of Commons, and was -elected senior member by a sweeping majority. During his term in -Parliament, he made several speeches which were notable for keen common -sense. He spoke but seldom; when he did he always secured an attentive -hearing. He became President of the Ottawa and Gatineau Valley Railroad, -now a part of the Canadian Pacific, and was also a Director of the -Canada Atlantic Railroad, now a part of the Grand Trunk System. Mr. -Mackintosh resigned his seat for Ottawa in July, 1886, but at the -request of friends agreed to hold it until the dissolution, which he -did. The Capital of Canada is no bed of roses for any active or generous -man, and thus the senior member found it, hence his positive objection -to being again a candidate at that time. In the General Election of -1887, Mr. Mackintosh, by the unanimous wish of the Conservative party, -contested Russell against Mr. W. C. Edwards, the largest lumber -manufacturer, and most popular Liberal in the County, and was defeated -by a narrow majority, owing mainly to the feeling against the Government -among the French-Canadians, aroused by the execution of Riel. He polled -2,146 votes, or between 400 and 500 more than were ever given to a -Conservative candidate in that county. The Home Rule and Riel cries -concentrated at least 1,600 votes solidly against any Conservative -nominee, the Constituency being largely Catholic. It should be said, -however, that Mr. Mackintosh was an ardent advocate of and believer in -Ireland’s right to control her own local affairs. But he had voted in -favor of Orange incorporation, publicly declaring that such would, in -the end, ameliorate the bitterness between Protestants and Catholics. -Mr. Edwards upon a protest was unseated for Russell, and a score of his -supporters reported for corruption. The Conservative party let the -matter drop; another election took place with the same result, Mr. -Edwards (now Senator) being returned. In 1888 Mr. Mackintosh declined to -accept nomination for the Mayoralty, and also to be a candidate for the -County of Carleton. In 1890, upon the death of the sitting member, Mr. -Perley, a requisition was presented, signed by prominent Liberals and -Conservatives, asking Mr. Mackintosh to be a candidate. There were four -candidates in the field, but he was elected by over 1,000 majority, and -was again returned at the General Election of 1891. During this time he -became interested in the “Lake Manitoba Railway and Canal Company,” -which subsequently was merged with the Canadian Northern -Transcontinental Line. His leader, Sir John A. Macdonald, died in June, -1891, and until Sir John Thompson became Premier, Mr. Mackintosh took -little interest in political affairs, disposing of his newspaper the -Ottawa “Citizen.” In October, 1893, he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor -of the Canadian North-West Territories, then including the Yukon. Before -leaving Ottawa he was presented with a testimonial and address by the -workingmen of Ottawa, the Conservative Association, and a dinner -tendered by the members of the Rideau Club, at which Judges of the -Supreme Court, Sir John Thompson and other Ministers were present. -During his term, he organized a Dominion Territorial Exhibition in 1895, -spoken of as inaugurating a very beneficial settlement in the -North-West. Prize competition entries reached nearly 8,000 in the -various departments. It was opened by Lord Aberdeen, then -Governor-General. On this occasion the city of Regina presented him with -an oil painting of himself and a complimentary address. In January, -1898, Mr. Mackintosh resigned his high position, going to British -Columbia, successfully organizing the British America Mining -Corporation, of which he was Managing Director, until he resigned, about -1900. In 1902, when King George V (then Duke of York) visited Canada, -Mr. Mackintosh, upon behalf of the Miners of British Columbia, presented -him with unique gold specimens extracted from the western mines. Mr. -Mackintosh remained in the western province for several years, engaging -in literary work. In 1908 he was awarded the 1st prize for an essay on -“British Columbia—Its Resources.” He was for some time in Toronto, -where (in 1910) he wrote a series of articles for the “Mail and Empire,” -forecasting Germany as the storm centre of a coming war. In 1911, when -the Reciprocity issue was before the electors, he wrote a series of -articles against the proposition, visiting nearly every constituency in -Ontario, publishing a signed telegram in the “Montreal Star,” the day -before the election, forecasting the defeat of the Laurier Government -and allowing them not more than fourteen seats in Ontario. When his -party returned to power, he accepted a position as Inspector of Customs, -and has also written many articles on the European War, which broke out -in August, 1914. In May, 1917, a pamphlet written by Mr. Mackintosh, -dealing with the Home Rule issue and entitled “Are Ireland’s Problems on -the Eve of Solution?” attracted much attention, being quoted from at the -Irish Conference by several delegates. Mr. Mackintosh spends much of his -time in British Columbia where he is Chairman of the Halcyon Springs -Company, and is greatly interested in the development of that province’s -mining resources. - - * * * * * - -=Meek, Edward= (Toronto, Ont.), Barrister, was born in the village of -Port Stanley, Ontario, on December 27, 1844. His father, James Meek, -came to Canada at the early age of three years with his parents, in -1818, from Ballymena, North of Ireland. They settled in the same year in -Talbot District, and took up a tract of land near Port Stanley, being -among the earliest pioneers of that part of the country. At the time of -Edward’s birth his father was a carpenter and builder, but afterwards -became a partner in a foundry which was carried on successfully for a -number of years; but a disastrous fire destroyed the whole of the -extensive establishment, and he returned to his farm, on which he -remained till his death. Edward received his early education at the Port -Stanley school, and afterwards at the Grammar School, St. Thomas. After -leaving school, at the age of seventeen, he was granted a certificate to -teach, which occupation he followed for three years. He then accepted a -position as bookkeeper in a grain warehouse, at which he continued for a -short time only; but thinking a short journey among strangers would -improve his prospects, he went to Boston and engaged with a publishing -house of a prominent firm there. After a short sojourn he returned to -London, Ontario, and there commenced the study of law. In 1873 he -removed to Toronto, where he continued his studies and finished his law -course in the office of Harrison, Osler and Moss, three gentlemen who -afterwards became distinguished judges. He was called to the Bar of -Ontario in the spring of 1874, and he then formed a partnership with the -Hon. John O’Donohoe, which continued for four years, when it was -dissolved. He then opened an office of his own until he formed a -partnership with the late William Norris, of Woodstock, which lasted -till Mr. Norris returned to Woodstock. In 1877 he commenced to take an -active part in the politics of the country, and especially in the -promotion of the National Policy; in fact, he was one of the originators -of the word, and travelled over Ontario assisting in the formation of -political organizations to enable the National Policy party to carry -their new platform to a successful issue. He continued from that time to -take an active part as one of the political writers and speakers on the -platform until the winter of 1884, when he and a number of other -politicians conceived the idea of forming a coalition government for the -Province of Ontario, their object being to do away with partyism in the -local legislature. Others were brought into the scheme who were -impatient of the slow method of bringing about the change by argument, -and thought that a sufficient number of the members of the Legislature -could be secured by offers and promises to at once defeat the Mowat -Government, when the coalition could be immediately formed during the -spring session of 1884. The plans were disapproved of by the originators -of the idea, but the hot heads could not be kept under control, and the -public know the result of the unfortunate conspiracy case which sprung -from it, involving those more actively concerned in the long and tedious -investigation and prosecution before a Royal Commission and in the -criminal courts. The Royal Commission brought in a divided report, which -the House never acted upon. The verdict of the jury in the criminal -court, in the trial of May, 1885, acquitted the accused. Since that time -Mr. Meek has devoted himself strictly to the practice of his profession -in Toronto, and the promotion and formation of joint stock and other -companies. Mr. Meek was joined in marriage, on June 30, 1873, to Anna -Margaret McBride, daughter of Samuel McBride, of London, Ontario, by -which union they have issue two sons and one daughter. Mr. Meek and -family are members of the Church of England. Since the publication of -the preceding matter in the second edition of “Representative -Canadians,” about thirty years ago, Mr. Meek has continued to practise -law in all its branches in the city of Toronto, and is considered a -well-read lawyer, a sound legal adviser, and a successful practitioner. -While carrying on his legal practice, during the past twenty-five years, -he has written many thousands of “Legal Opinions,” published weekly in -the Saturday edition of the “Mail & Empire” newspaper. These concise and -clearly expressed statements of the law have been widely read, and -highly appreciated by many thousands of readers of that journal, and -have been copied in other newspapers. Mr. Meek has also written and -published pamphlets; and essays on Legal and Constitutional questions in -reviews and magazines which have been favorably criticized and commented -upon—notably two essays comparing our Canadian System of Federalism -with the American System of Federalism, entitled, “Some Observations on -the Constitution of the Dominion of Canada,” published in the American -Law Review of 1895, 1896; “The Legal and Constitutional Aspects of the -Manitoba School Questions,” published in the “Canadian Magazine” and in -pamphlet form in 1895; “Political Lessons from the Time of Cicero,” -“Representative Government and Federalism,” the “Plebiscite”—an answer -to an Essay published by the late Sir Geo. W. Ross—and other Essays, -all to be found in the “Canadian Magazine” between 1898 and 1904; -“Sunday Laws,” published in the “Canadian Law Review” in 1904; “The -Mistakes made by the Framers of the Constitution of the United States of -America,” and “Government and Political and Municipal Corporations,” -etc., published later. In 1913 Mr. Meek published a book of 600 pages, -entitled, “Business and Law,” which has had a wide circulation. Mr. Meek -was created a Q.C. in 1896, but for political reasons the patent was -never issued. He was, however, made a K.C. by the Ontario Government in -1908. He has recently published a few short poems which have been much -admired. Now 72, he is in robust health, and his writings are as clear -and concise, and his forensic abilities as convincing as 30 years ago, -with the added copiousness and accuracy acquired by long years of -experience. His eldest son, Mr. Charles S. Meek, is managing director of -the British Pacific Engineering & Construction Company, of Vancouver, -where he resides with his family, consisting of a wife and two -daughters. His second son, Mr. E. J. Meek, is the chief accountant of -the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and resides in Toronto with wife and two -children—a son and daughter. Mr. Meek lives at 177 Jamieson Ave., with -his wife and unmarried daughter, Miss Gertrude Meek. - - * * * * * - -=Harris, Reginald V.= (Halifax, N.S.), Barrister-at-Law, son of Rev. -Canon V. E.

Reviewing Mr. De Celles’ Papineau, the London “Outlook” (Jan. -13, 1906) summed up this work as follows: “Mr. De Celles has traced this -out through the quarter of a century in which Papineau was the most -brilliant, if not the most wise figure in French-Canadian politics, with -the natural sympathy of a compatriot, though by no means without due -recognition of his hero’s failings. . . . He has given us an admirable -picture of a strange and picturesque career. Everyone has heard of -Papineau, and most Canadians have some idea of his achievements, but -little probably of his personality.” Mr. De Celles has also contributed -to “Canada and Its Provinces,” a synopsis of the History of Quebec under -Confederation and an extensive history of colonization under this title: -“The Habitant”: and an outline of the municipal system in Lower Canada. -He has contributed to The Chronicles of Canada the “Patriotes of 1837,” -a history of the Canadian Rebellion.

Educated at St. Mary’s Collegiate Institute, Toronto -University and Osgoode Hall. His career at the University was -particularly brilliant. He won the prize in Logic awarded by the late -Professor J. P. Young, the Blake Scholarship on Constitutional Law, -Economics and Jurisprudence, the McMurrich Medal in Natural Science and -Gold Medal in Mathematics and Physics, and the prize on Minority -Representation, graduating with the degree of B.A. in 1882, M.A. 1884, -LL.B. 1891, and being called to the Bar in 1886, with honours, and -winning the Law Society’s Gold Medal, since which time he has practised -in Toronto where he is recognized as one of the leaders of the Bar and -is head of the firm of Clark, McPherson, Campbell & Jarvis. Has been -retained as Counsel in a large number of cases of great magnitude and -importance, such as the Quaker Case, Ontario Express Company, Fisheries -Case, and the Ophir case, and has frequently pleaded before the Privy -Council in England. Appointed a K.C. in 1889; in early life was -Mathematical Master of St. Mary’s Collegiate Institute and for several -years Examiner in Physics, Toronto University, of which he was appointed -as Senator in 1892. Is also Vice-President Toronto University Alumni -Association. Formerly President Mathematical and Physics Society and -University College Literary and Scientific Society. Few men in Canada -have exhibited more scholarly attainments than the subject of this -sketch, whose versatility in Science, Literature, as well as original -research has been remarkable, and of great benefit. Notwithstanding the -high place which Mr. Clark occupies in the field of letters and the wide -knowledge he has of science and literature, he is widely known on -account of his great abilities as a lawyer which have placed him in the -front rank of the legal profession in Canada. Many of his cases have -been of first-class importance and some of them of great public -interest. Among the first in which he won a signal victory was that of -Dorland and Jones, the famous Quaker Case from Prince Edward County, -Ontario. The recent decision of the House of Lords, giving the “Wee -Frees” the property of the Free Church of Scotland recalls the Quaker -Case here. Mr. Clark argued before the Supreme Court at Ottawa that the -Church had the right to make changes in its Constitution, even though -that Constitution itself did not specifically authorize it to do so. The -view was adopted by the United Free Church lawyers in Edinburgh in the -case arising from the union of the Free and United Presbyterian Churches -of Scotland, and the Court of Session, the High Court of Justice -sustained that view. The “Wee Free” (as the Free Church minority was -commonly called), appealed to the House of Lords, and contrary to all -expectation, won, and obtained possession of the vast property of the -Church. The situation was so tense that a special Act of Parliament was -passed to adjust conditions. In quite a number of constitutional cases -reaching through the Canadian Courts to the Privy Council, Mr. Clark has -figured, and invariably with success. The same is true regarding -commercial cases and large mining cases in which a long and extended -experience has given him such a mastery as few of his compeers possess. -Quite recently the “Ophir” mining case, which he brought to a successful -conclusion, through a tedious and tortuous course of litigation, ending -in the Privy Council, has excited the attention of the legal profession -and of the public, both because it decided the question of the Indian -title so far as Ontario is concerned, and because a similar situation is -becoming acute in British Columbia. Mr. Clark has made several notable -speeches in England where he is regarded as an accomplished jurist, and -few men are so well versed in the political and constitutional history -of this Dominion or more fully seized of its great resources. The London -“Times” and several other prominent English papers a few years ago -referred in high praise to Mr. Clark’s speech on “Canada and the Navy” -delivered before a notable gathering, including Lord Strathcona the late -High Commissioner for Canada. Mr. Clark is one of the foremost -mathematical authorities in Canada and his work has been commended by so -high an authority as Lord Kelvin, while he is regarded both in this -country and in England as an authority on Constitutional law. He has won -distinction as an author, and has written several standard works and -papers, among which may be mentioned “Law of Mines in Canada,” which was -written in collaboration with the Hon. W. D. McPherson, Provincial -Secretary of Ontario. “Company Law,” “The Ontario Mining Law,” -“International Arbitration,” “Canada’s Future and the Empire,” “History -of the Theory of Energy,” and “The Functions of a great University.” Has -lectured on the “Value of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council,” -“Canada and the Navy,” etc. The work on Mining Law referred to is -recognized as an authority on the subject dealt with, and has been -highly praised by the Harvard Law Review of the Law Magazine of England -as well as by the Canadian Press. The “Mining Journal” stated that “the -book had the impress of clear and legal learning,” and the work has also -been described as a monument of research, care and industry. Recently -Mr. Clark has been elected President of the Royal Canadian Institute, -founded by Sir John Lefroy (whose grandson, Lieut. Lefroy, gallantly -fell on Vimy Ridge). In referring to the new President’s appointment -“The Mail and Empire” said: “Mr. Clark well represents the best that we -have in character, intellect, scholarship and public spirit. A -distinguished graduate of Toronto University, the new President, far -from leaving the avenues of learning, as some do when they graduate, has -ever increased his stores, and has successfully striven not only to -broaden and deepen his knowledge, but to devote it to the service of his -fellow-men, as witness Mr. Clark’s strong and convincing advocacy of the -Canadian Government availing itself of the great scientific attainments -and progressive scholarship of men like Professors Macallum and -McLennan. For many years one of the foremost advocates in Canada of that -great constitutional change in Imperial relations which is to-day being -forged on the anvil of war, Mr. Clark has been a powerful and sagacious -leader in that movement on this side of the water. In the prosecution of -that enterprise he has deservedly won the regard and friendship of some -of the leading scholars and statesmen of our Empire.” The “Globe,” in -the course of a favorable review, said that his Presidential Address on -“The Reign of Law,” “will appeal to thoughtful readers as a scholarly -contribution to a subject which derives fresh interest from the war.” -Mr. Clark has given considerable study to the question of our gold -supply which has proved a potent factor in the financing of the great -war, and will be even a more important factor in the reconstruction -period after the war according to the viewpoint of Mr. Clark, who takes -the position that the increase in the production of gold be encouraged -in every practical way. Politically, Mr. Clark has always been a member -of the Liberal Party, and was formerly President of the Young Men’s -Liberal Club of Toronto, but, in the Federal general elections of 1917 -he supported the Union Government. He favors Canada remaining an -integral portion of the British Empire, the utmost practicable extension -of the principle of free trade, and the development of a vigorous -Canadian National Sentiment. Married first Greta Helen Gordon, daughter -of Rev. D. Gordon, and sister of “Ralph Connor,” 1890 (deceased 1894); -second, Annie Macleod Anderson, daughter of late W. N. Anderson, -Toronto, 1899 (deceased, 1910); third, Caroline Chaplin, daughter of -late William Chaplin, St. Catharines; has three daughters, i.e., Mary -Gordon (now Mrs. W. A. Riddell), Margaret Macleod, and Katie H. Burn.

One of the best known and highly respected -citizens in the Capital of the Dominion and in many other parts of -Canada, both east and west, is the subject of this sketch. Following in -his father’s footsteps, who owned and successfully ran a popular hotel -in Orangeville, at an early age he became, and for years remained, -cashier of the well known hostelry—the Walker House, Toronto. His -experiences in that popular public resort and his popularity prompted -aspirations and ambitions which caused him to launch out in enterprises -of his own, and he soon became proprietor of several of the best hotels -in the principal cities and summer resorts in Canada. In 1902 he was one -of the owners of the New Royal in Hamilton where business success and -increased patronage prompted the owners to remodel it in 1907. He took -management of the Penetanguishene Hotel at Penetang and made it one of -the attractive features of the place. He reached out and got management -of the Sans Souci at Moon River, the Belvidere in Parry Sound, the -Iroquois Hotel in Toronto, the Victoria Hotel at Aylmer, Quebec, the -Grand Union, Ottawa, and, with the late Daniel O’Connor, built the -Temagami Inn at Temagami, Ontario. In each and all these ventures -success and popularity followed in his train and created for him -unstinted fame as an enterprising, progressive and popular hotel -proprietor and manager. And while so actively engaged in the hotel -business Mr. Paisley, being an enthusiastic lover of the horse, found -time to give to that noble animal the most assiduous care and attention, -and much of his time for years was devoted to the purchase, the raising, -and the training of some of the finest saddle, harness and trotting -steeds to be found in any part of Canada. They established, for their -owner, on many a race track and at many a horse show enviable records. -His Sealskin Joe was one of those that won distinction on the Winnipeg -racecourse many years ago. Later his saddle horse, Jardie, was accorded -the admiration of all. Shortly after his arrival in Ottawa, where he -first established himself as proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel, he -became interested in such affairs—public, charitable, patriotic and -social—as had for their goal the prosperity of the city and the -happiness and betterment of its people, and his many years activity in -these lines are well marked in the memory of thousands. Mr. Paisley, -never allowing his enthusiasm for the horse to die, took a keen interest -in, and became one of the original members of, the Ottawa Hunt Club; was -Treasurer of the Horse Show while it exhibited here; became Chairman of -the Construction Committee that built the Connaught Park Jockey Club -Track, and is now a director and one of the Management Committee of the -Connaught Park Jockey Club. For years Mr. Paisley has been a Director of -the Central Canada Exhibition Association, and held the office of -Vice-President, and for a considerable time was Chairman of the Special -Attraction Committee. In 1915, owing to the resignation of Mr. Edward -McMahon, who had held the position of Manager and Secretary of the -Central Canada Exhibition Association for over twenty years, and to -replace whose efficient management the Association had to select a -competent and reliable successor, Mr. James K. Paisley was chosen, with -the result that up to date the fair has been an increased success -financially and in attendance. In his management of the Exhibition’s -affairs he carries with him a geniality and a business acumen that -attracts, establishes confidence, and produces good results. When the -Great War broke out, Mr. Paisley’s son, familiarly known as “Pep” -Paisley, who had graduated from McGill as an architect, enlisted with A. -Battery, R.C.H.A., as a gunner and was soon, owing to meritorious -conduct at the front, promoted to a Lieutenancy. His valor and good work -at the firing line received much praise from his superior officers. Mr. -James K. Paisley is the son of John Paisley and Mrs. M. J. Kenniston of -Orangeville, Ontario. He was born in 1858 and was educated in -Orangeville High School and Rockwood Academy. In 1888 he married Minnie -Bairdsall Harris, daughter of the late Isaac Harris. He has one son and -two daughters. His recreations are sports of any kind. He is an active -member of the Elks, the Knights of Pythias, and the Foresters, and an -executive member of the Hotelmen’s Mutual Benefit Association of America -and Canada, Ex-President of the Ontario Hotel Keepers’ Association, and -Ex-President of the Ottawa Hotelmen’s Association.

He was born in 1832, at Fintona, County -Tyrone, Ireland, the son of Thomas and Charlotte Cowan. In 1841, his -parents having decided to remove to Canada, he made with them the long -sailing and overland voyage to Toronto, the journey occupying some -months. Shortly after the family’s arrival the father died and the -mother of the subject of this sketch was left with five young children. -She managed, however, to give her boys a good education at Boyd’s -Academy, Bay St., Toronto (conducted by the father of the late -Chancellor Sir John Boyd) and one of the pioneer educational -institutions of Toronto. On leaving school, W. F. Cowan first found -employment with “The Colonist,” a newspaper founded by Sir Francis -Hincks, an eminent statesman of the mid-nineteenth century. Subsequently -he entered the employ of Alexander Laurie & Co., dry goods merchants, at -the south-west corner of King and Yonge Sts., Toronto. Later he served -with Walter McFarland & Co., dry goods merchants, on Market Square, King -St. East, Toronto, then the heart of the retail district.

Whiting Mfg. Co. of Cedar Dale, -manufacturers of scythes, forks, hoes, etc., the firm becoming Messrs. -Whiting & Cowan. Largely through Mr. Cowan’s modern methods of business -organization, the wares of this firm became known throughout America; -and Mr. Cowan was also successful in developing a large market for them -in Great Britain. In 1872, in conjunction with Messrs. Wood & -Winterbourne, of Albany, N.Y., he founded the Ontario Malleable Iron -Co., of which Mr. D. S. Wood was the first president, and on his death -was succeeded by Mr. Cowan’s elder brother John. On the latter’s death -Mr. W. F. Cowan succeeded to the Presidency. He had been a director of -the company since its inception. He was largely instrumental in making -Oshawa one of the leading industrial centres of the province. In 1893 he -established Fittings, Ltd., of Oshawa, of which he was also President at -the time of his death. Altogether his interests furnished steady -employment to about 1,000 citizens of the town, of which he was -recognized as the industrial leader. Mr. Cowan’s financial interests -were even more widely extended. In 1875 he became Vice-President of the -newly formed Standard Bank of Canada, and in 1883, on the death of the -President, the well-known capitalist, Hon. T. N. Gibbs, succeeded to -that office, in which he continued until his demise, making weekly -journeys to Toronto to attend meetings of the board until within a few -days of his death. In 1886, in company with Mr. T. H. McMillan, he also -established the Western Bank of Canada, which, after twenty-six years of -active life, was amalgamated with the Standard Bank in 1912. Though -often pressed to enter Federal and Provincial politics, he contented -himself solely with municipal service and held the post of Reeve of -Oshawa, and of Mayor, after its incorporation as a town, for some years. -He was a steadfast adherent of the Anglican Church in religion, and a -Conservative in politics. In 1864 he married Susan, daughter of the late -John Groves, a well-known citizen of Toronto. On his death he left one -son, Mr. Frederick W. Cowan, of Oshawa, who succeeds to his interests, -and one grandson, Major R. C. Cowan, who has been overseas for the past -three years. - - - - -[Illustration: HON. W. L.

He was educated -at Dundas High School and subsequently entered a law office with a view -to qualifying himself for the legal profession. He did not, however, -complete his studies, for the virgin country of Manitoba, which was just -then being opened up to the world, called him, as in the case of many -another young man, from Eastern Canada. He went West in 1881 at the age -of twenty and entered the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway, then -in course of construction, and later was employed by the Manitoba -Government. In 1887 he was appointed Immigration Agent for that -government with offices at Winnipeg. In 1895 he removed to the city of -Toronto and continued to act as Immigration Agent for Manitoba in that -city, incidentally helping to populate the prairie province with many -desirable settlers. His general knowledge of the resources of Canada and -his qualities of good-fellowship led to his appointment as Canadian -Commissioner at the Paris Exposition of 1899; and from thence until 1903 -he acted in a similar capacity at other International exhibitions, at -which the Government of Canada was represented by displays and bureaus -of information. In the latter year he was appointed Superintendent of -the Immigration Branch of the Department of the Interior and removed to -Ottawa where he has ever since resided. The period of Mr. Scott’s -appointment was that in which immigration to the Canadian North-West not -only from Europe but from the United States was at its zenith and he was -very active in assisting to build up population in the new provinces of -Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 1911 the post of Chief Controller of -Chinese Immigration under treaties newly effected with the Government of -China was added to his duties, and he is now the most important factor -in all branches of immigration in this country, with a large staff under -his control. In addition to his official labors he pursues the calling -of a practical farmer. He is a Presbyterian in religion and his -recreation is indicated by the fact that he is a member of the Royal -Ottawa Golf and Laurentian Clubs. He is also a member of the A.F. & A.M. - - * * * * * - -=Askwith, John E.=, is Ottawa’s Police Magistrate, to which position he -was appointed by the Ontario Government, April 23, 1918. Mr. Askwith was -born in Ottawa and, practically, Ottawa has remained his home to this -day. For forty years Mr. Askwith was in business as a contractor, both -on structural and railway work and the Government Bureau, the Halifax -Armory, and many other public buildings bear testimony to his zeal. He -has been of considerable benefit and has rendered good services to the -city of Ottawa in more ways than one. For eleven years he sat in the -City Council as representative for Rideau Ward. He served as Chairman of -the Parks Commission and had much to do in the acquisition of Rockliffe -Park. In 1901 the Conservatives of Russell County selected him as their -candidate for the House of Commons and, while he met with defeat, he -gave his opponent a sharp contest. For three years he was President of -the Association for the Blind and was and is a hard worker in the -interest of the Protestant Old Men’s Home. His contributions to the -various Ottawa Public Institutions are numerous and his attentions to -them so constant and earnest that he is rightfully called an -unmistakeable philanthropist. Following in his father’s footsteps as an -enthusiast for Volunteer Military Service, Mr. Askwith served for seven -years in the Ottawa Field Battery, and on two occasions marched to the -front in defence of home and country. Even now he walks with the -military stride. Mr. Askwith was appointed Deputy Magistrate in 1907, -and since 1916 up to the time when he received his promotion in March, -1918, had to administer the law alone as during the intervening time -Magistrate O’Keefe was too ill to attend Court, and no Deputy was -appointed. In addition, as Deputy Magistrate, Mr. Askwith presided over -the Juvenile Court, and is doing so even now, and it is owing to his -sound judgment and fatherly consideration for erring youngsters that a -vast improvement has taken place in the conduct of the Juveniles in the -city. In the Police Court as well as in the Juvenile Court he has been -stern and wise in his decisions. He metes out law and justice with -common sense and discretion and never allows technicalities or quibbles -to interfere with his disposal of cases, and he holds the explicit -confidence of the public. Magistrate John E. Askwith was born of English -parents, in 1841, and was educated in the Little Red School House in -Ottawa. On September 26, 1865, he married Annie, daughter of the late -John Fotheringham, and has two sons, William R. and John F., who is a -Lieutenant in service in France; he is 36 years old and in 1915 enlisted -with a company from McGill University to reinforce the Princess Pats, -but was transferred to a Western Battalion. He went through several -important engagements in which the Canadian Forces took part, including -Vimy Ridge; and two daughters Margaret F., and Bessie, who is married to -O. E. Culbert, Barrister, Calgary. In religion Mr. Askwith is a -Protestant, and in politics a Conservative. He resides at 24 Alexander -Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. - - * * * * * - -=Nickle, William Folger, K.C., B.A.= (Kingston, Ont.), was born at -Kingston, Dec. 31, 1869, son of William Nickle (Scotch), and Ellen Mary -Folger (American). Educated at private schools, Kingston Collegiate -Institute, Queen’s University and Osgoode Hall; graduated from Queen’s -with degree of B.A. in 1892; called to the Bar, Osgoode Hall, 1895; -member of legal firm of Nickle, Farrell & Day, Kingston. He was twice -married: first, September 11, 1895, to Agnes Mary, daughter of Joseph -McAdam, St. Thomas; second, June 6, 1911, to Katharine Louise, daughter -of Rev. D. D. Gordon, Principal of Queen’s University. Five children, -William McAdam 1897, Douglas Joseph 1899, Evelyn Marion 1902, Alexander -Gordon 1916, and Catherine Maclennan Nickle 1918. He is a member of the -following clubs: Kingston, Country, Yacht, Frontenac, The Rideau, Ottawa -and the Toronto Club; is also a Mason, Oddfellow and a member of the -Sons of Scotland. Mr. Nickle takes an active interest in all amateur -sports. He is trustee of Queen’s University, Governor of Kingston -Hospital; elected to the Kingston School Board in 1895, City Council in -1896, and again in 1897, for three years. He was member of the -Legislative Assembly of Ontario for Kingston from 1908 to 1911, when he -resigned seat to contest same constituency at the general election for -the House of Commons, and was elected as the Liberal-Conservative -candidate, and re-elected at the general elections in December, 1917. He -is a Presbyterian in religion. The member for Kingston has played a very -active part in the city of his birth and has been prominently identified -with the municipal, educational and social life, and has carved a secure -place in the confidence and respect of his fellow-citizens. He has -greatly distinguished himself in public life, for which he has displayed -much talent, and his sterling integrity is recognized by his -fellow-members in the House of Commons. Mr. Nickle is a forceful -speaker, with a convincing style and a pleasing and magnetic -personality. His career in the House of Commons has been marked by a -spirit of independence and adherence to conviction. In 1913 he took -issue with the Government on the granting of certain additional aid to -the Canadian Northern Railway; and maintained that if the people had to -build the railroads they should own and operate them. His position at -that time has since been justified overwhelmingly by public sentiment -and the general course of events. In April of 1918 Mr. Nickle once more -achieved great prominence as the effective voice of the Canadian people -in connection with the titles controversy. He introduced a motion in the -House of Commons requesting that representations be made to the Imperial -Government that hereafter no hereditary titles should be granted in -Canada. In a speech replete with convincing historical detail on the -obsolete nature of hereditary honors he also stated his conviction that -it would be better if no further titular distinctions of any kind were -granted, except those of an officiary character. He felt, however, that -public sentiment on the question was not sufficiently ripe to permit him -to jeopardize his resolution on the subject of hereditary honors, by -making it as wide as his personal views would indicate. Subsequently Mr. -R. L. Richardson, M.P. for Richmond, Manitoba, moved a resolution -demanding that no titular honors of any kind be granted thereafter. This -was defeated on the Prime Minister declaring it to be a -want-of-confidence motion. On this motion Mr. Nickle was placed in the -peculiar position of having to abandon the Government or his personal -convictions, but decided to stick by conviction. Another broad principle -that was discussed as a result of Mr. Nickle’s original motion was -whether the Government of Canada should not be consulted before titular -distinctions were conferred by the Crown on Canadians resident in this -country. The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, announced that he had -accepted this principle, except in connection with military honors, so -that Mr. Nickle may be regarded as having materially aided in checking -an abuse which was becoming a cause of public unrest, by precipitating -discussion of the matter. - - * * * * * - -=Tory, John A.= (Toronto), one of the leading life insurance men of -Canada, was born at Guysboro’, N.S., November 17, 1869, the son of -Robert K. and Anora (Ferguson) Tory.

The head offices of the Company are situated at 110-16 -York St., Toronto, and the Company has large business connections -throughout the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Diver owes his success to his -untiring industry, complete knowledge of the details of the various -branches of the work of his Company, and to his practical business -ability. His wife died a few years ago leaving her surviving children: -Lt. F. G. Diver, who was since killed in action at the Battle of the -Somme on Oct. 21, 1917; Ethel May, now wife of Halsey Wells of Detroit, -U.S.A., and Victor Diver, Vice-President of the Central Press Agency, -Ltd.

His grandfather was a teacher in 1845. -Was educated at Three Rivers Seminary. Was formerly professor for three -years at the College de Joliette and St. Laurent. Married, Feb. 2, 1898, -to Parmelia, daughter of Edmond Bourgeois of Joliet, and is the father -of six children: Hector, Lucien, Maria, Albert, Jeanne and Cecile. Was -lecturer for the C. N. d’Economie. Elected to the House of Commons at -the general elections in 1911, as an Independent Conservative, to -represent the constituency of Maskinonge. In religion Mr. Bellemare is a -Roman Catholic. - - * * * * * - -=Birkett, Thomas=, was born in Bytown (now Ottawa), February 1, 1844. He -is the son of Miles and Elizabeth (Wren) Birkett, who came to Canada -from Cumberland, England, in 1838, and who saw that he received a good -education at the Public and Grammar Schools, and that he was thoroughly -prepared for commercial business life. That their efforts were not in -vain was shown at an early date, in the rapid and successful progress -that greeted his efforts and ventures. But, and in addition, they had -the good fortune to see their son make his mark in School, Municipal, -Provincial and Dominion and other public affairs and to be elected to -many public offices of trust where he distinguished himself in various -ways and established an enviable record for progressive, reliable and -lasting service. In every public office, to which he was elected he -devoted the attention and care that was made so evident and pronounced -in his private business with the result that he not only made good, but -cemented and enlarged the confidence and esteem of those who had -selected him as their representative. Whether as director or trustee of -a public institution, as member of the city council, mayor of the city, -or as member of Parliament, his conduct was the same and the result the -same, viz., conscientious devotion to duty attended by successful -results. Many a time it has been proclaimed, even by those who were -politically opposed to him, that having rendered to the State the -continuous and valuable public services that he did, and in a manner so -effective, that he would long ago have been called to the Canadian -Senate, and great has been the surprise that he has not been. But being -still robust in health, mentally and physically, and his activities -being as marked as they were in former years, it may not be out of place -to say that a seat in the Senate will be honored by his presence at an -early date. Having served as an apprentice in the hardware trade to Mr. -Isaac, in 1866, Mr. Birkett opened a retail hardware store on Rideau -Street, prospered, and soon had to remove to larger premises. For thirty -years he kept in the retail business, which year by year assumed larger -proportions and supplied goods to the many prosperous and wealthy -manufacturing towns and villages and thriving agricultural districts in -the Ottawa Valley. Finding the demand for his goods still on the -increase in 1896 he converted his private firm into a joint stock -company, of which he became president, his son Thomas M. Birkett, -vice-president, and other members of the family shareholders, and -launched into the wholesale business under the title of Thomas Birkett & -Son Company, Limited, of Ottawa. To-day this wholesale firm is one of -the most extensive, if not actually the largest hardware house in -Eastern Ontario and is known from one end of Canada to the other. The -building forms one of the best business blocks in Ottawa and is most -advantageously situated, the warehouse doors opening direct on the -wharves of the Rideau Canal basin. Mr. Birkett served as School Trustee -from 1869 to 1873; as Alderman, from 1873 to 1878; as Mayor, during 1891 -and 1892. Since 1900 he has been Trustee, Ottawa Collegiate Institute. -In 1893 he declined nomination to the House of Commons, but in 1900 he -was elected by a large majority. He ran in 1904 and 1908 and was -defeated. Mr. Birkett is President, Thos. Birkett, Son & Co., Ltd., -Wholesale Hardware Merchants, Canal St., Ottawa; Director, -Pritchard-Andrews Engraving Co.; Life Director, Carleton County -Protestant Hospital; Life Director, Protestant Hospital for the aged. He -was instrumental in erecting the Lady Stanley Institute for Trained -Nurses; is Honorary Director, Central Canada Exposition Association. In -1871 he married Mary Gallagher, daughter of Thomas Gallagher. She died -in March, 1902. In August, 1904, he married Henrietta Gallagher, his -deceased wife’s half-sister. He is a member of the following clubs: -Ottawa Hunt, Rivermead Golf (director), and of the A.F. & A.M. (32nd -degree), the Oddfellows, and St. George’s Societies. His recreation is -golf. Politics, Conservative. Religion, Methodist, and he resides at 306 -Metcalfe Street, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Anderson, Alexander James= (Toronto, Ont.), was born in Adelaide -Township, Middlesex County, July 1, 1863, and was educated at Strathroy -High School and Osgoode Hall. Toronto is as famous for its Bar as it is -in its commercial and manufacturing industry, and in alluding to its -leading members, prominent mention must be made of the subject of this -sketch. Mr. Anderson started his professional career with J. S. -Fullerton & Co., which partnership continued from 1891 to 1897; from -1894 to 1906 he practised alone; from 1907 to 1909 was a member of the -firm of Anderson & Gray, and entered his present partnership as senior -member of the firm (Anderson & McMaster) in 1910. Having municipal -aspirations, Mr. Anderson was elected to the Council of Toronto Junction -from 1899 to 1902; was corporation solicitor for West Toronto until the -amalgamation with the city in 1909, when he was elected alderman to -represent Ward Seven in the City Council. He was for four years a member -of the West Toronto School Board, and was elected Chairman of that body -in 1899. During the elections in 1904 he was unanimously selected by the -Liberals of South York as the party standard bearer, and though defeated -he made a very creditable showing at the close of the polls. Mr. -Anderson has many warm friends and supporters in the western portion of -the city, and he will show unexpected strength should he again become a -candidate. He is a Mason and takes an active interest in the welfare of -the Order. - - * * * * * - -=Barnard, Hon. George Henry, K.C.=, Member of the Senate of Canada -(Victoria, B.C.), is a son of Francis Jones Barnard, a Canadian who went -to British Columbia from Ontario, when gold was first discovered in the -Fraser River, in 1859, and shortly afterwards became the founder of the -stage and express line from Yale, head of navigation on the Fraser, to -Barkerville, 400 miles to the north. On the famous Yale-Cariboo Road the -elder Barnard long operated a line of stages and carried the mail to the -mountain settlements of the district. The maiden name of the mother of -the subject of this sketch was Ellen Hillman, and he was born at -Victoria, B.C., Oct. 9, 1868. Sir Frank S. Barnard, K.C.M.G., -Lieut.-Governor of British Columbia, is a brother. He was educated at -Trinity College School, Port Hope, and qualified for the law, entering -practice at Victoria. He was appointed King’s Counsel on Dec. 24, 1907. -Senator Barnard took an active interest in municipal affairs and served -as Alderman, 1902-3. In 1904 he was elected Mayor of Victoria and -continued in office for two years. He was first elected to the House of -Commons for that city at the general elections of 1908, as a -Conservative and was re-elected in 1911. On Oct. 23, 1917, he was -elevated to the Senate of Canada by the newly-formed Union Government of -Sir Robert Borden.

Mr. Ashby is a Notary -Public by profession. - - * * * * * - -=Gariepy, Wilfrid, B.A., B.C.L., K.C., M.L.A.= (Edmonton, Alberta), was -born at Montreal, P.Q., on March 14, 1877. He is the son of Joseph H. -Gariepy, for many years a pioneer and leading merchant in the city of -Edmonton, an alderman and school trustee, and, by the way, a native of -St. Lin, P.Q., where was also born Sir Wilfrid Laurier. In days gone by -the Gariepys and the Lauriers intermingled considerably and Sir Wilfrid -when a boy attended the parish common school along with the grandfather -of the hero of this sketch. It was only natural that our subject should -at his birth be christened after the renowned Liberal Leader, who in -1877 was already in the political limelight. Four generations of -Gariepys were born and lived on the same homestead at St. Lin, three -miles from the parochial church. The mother of Mr. Wilfrid Gariepy, -Etudienne Boissonneault, who is yet living and residing in Edmonton, as -well as her husband, is a daughter of Noel Boissonneault, one of the -founders of the Town of Morinville, Alberta, as he came from the -Province of Quebec with the first contingent of colonists brought west -in 1891 by the late Father J. B. Morin, one of the most enthusiastic -colonization agents of his day. Noel Boissonneault was at one time a -leading Liberal politician in the Eastern Townships and for some years -was the moving spirit of the St. Onge Gold Mining Company, which did -business on the Gilbert River in Beauce County, P.Q. A maternal ancestor -of our subject was among the French-Canadian soldiers who fought for the -British Crown in 1812. On the other hand it is worth noting that another -figured in the uprising of 1837-1838, in favor of constitutional -government, on the shores of the St. Lawrence. Mr. Wilfrid Gariepy was -educated at the Sisters of Providence Academy, “Le jardin de l’enfance,” -on St. Denis Street, in Montreal, beginning in September, 1881; at Notre -Dame College, Côte des Neiges, Montreal, where he spent two years; at -St. Laurent’s College with the Fathers of the Holy Cross, remaining -there until January, 1891, when ill-health compelled him to abandon his -classical studies. He was then in the middle of versification. Deciding -to turn his activities into other channels, he attended the Montreal -Business College for some months and afterwards became a clerk in his -father’s store: first, in general groceries on St. Paul Street, -Montreal, and later in Edmonton, on Jasper Avenue, to which town the -family moved in March, 1893. In Montreal, although very young, Mr. W. -Gariepy indicated his political tastes by being one of the active -members of the “Club Letellier,” one of the oldest Liberal -organizations, and also by taking a hand in a mayoralty campaign in -favor of the Hon. James McShane, the famous “people’s Jimmy,” and by -working for the Hon. Honoré Mercier and his candidates after the famous -“renvoi d’office.” In 1893 Edmonton had just become a town, with a -population of less than 1,000, no modern conveniences, with the -exception of a rudimentary telephone and electric light system. Needless -to say, streets were unpaved and there were not even any sidewalks. -Still the town had a Mock Parliament, and we find our subject a member -of it, with a portfolio in its government. Mr. W. Gariepy was elected -one of the secretaries of the Liberal Club and also became, in 1894, at -its foundation, secretary to the Société de St. Jean Baptiste of -Edmonton. In 1895, with the Hon. Frank Oliver, who had just been -selected as Liberal candidate of Alberta, Mr. W. Gariepy made a tour -north of Edmonton, during which he addressed several meetings. It was in -September, 1895, that Mr. Gariepy found his health and other -circumstances such that he was able to return to the St. Laurent College -to complete his classical course. He stayed in that institution until -June, 1897, during which period he for one year filled the presidency of -the Literary Academy of the college. In the rhetoric bacheloriate on -papers submitted by Laval University, Mr. Gariepy succeeded with great -honors. He next went to the Seminary of Philosophy with the Sulpician -Fathers, to follow a two years’ course in philosophy, which gave him the -degree of Bachelor of Arts of Laval University. He chose the profession -of law and became articled in Montreal to Mr. Matthew Hutchinson, now a -judge of the Superior Court, in Sherbrooke. P.Q., with whom he remained -for three years, in the meantime following the law lectures at McGill -University, from which institution he received, in April, 1902, the -degree of Bachelor of Civil Law. In 1901 Mr. Gariepy had the honor of -being selected by the McGill Faculty of Law to represent it at the Laval -Law Students’ Banquet, at the city of Quebec. - -In the federal and provincial campaigns in 1900, Mr. W. Gariepy for -several months addressed meetings, spending the bulk of his time in the -constituency of Terrebonne, at the request of the late Honorables -Raymond Prefontaine and Jean Prévost. At that period, at the formation -of a Liberal Students’ Association in Montreal, he was elected its -Secretary, while the Vice-President thereof was Walter Mitchell, the -present Provincial Treasurer of Quebec. Having been admitted to the Bar -of the Province of Quebec in January, 1903, Mr. Gariepy immediately -secured his enrolment in the Bar of the North-West Territories and -opened an office in Edmonton on the same spot where years before he had -been carrying on work as a clerk in his father’s store. In the following -May a by-election having been called to elect a member for the -constituency of St. Albert, in the North-West Territories Legislature, -at a convention, Mr. Gariepy accepted the nomination but for personal -reasons subsequently withdrew from the contest. For three years Mr. -Gariepy was a member of the law firm of Taylor, Boyle and Gariepy, the -senior member being Judge H. C. Taylor, of Edmonton District, and the -other member, the Hon. J. R. Boyle, now Minister of Education in the -Alberta Government. From 1907 to 1911, Mr. Gariepy was a member of the -law firm of Gariepy & Landry, his partner being Mr. Hector Landry, son -of the late Sir Pierre Landry, of New Brunswick. Mr. Gariepy is now the -senior member of the firm of Gariepy, Dunlop & Pratt. This firm is among -the leading firms of the City of Edmonton, and while his present -political activities prevent our subject from devoting much time to law, -he has always paid great attention to his law practice. He has had the -distinction of figuring as leading counsel in two murder cases—one, the -Gladu Brothers, who were acquitted, and the other the Barrett case, that -life convict who was condemned to capital punishment after having been -convicted of wilfully killing with an axe, Deputy-Governor Stedman, of -the Edmonton Penitentiary. For six years Mr. Gariepy was a member of the -Separate School Board of Edmonton, being chairman of the commission for -two years. It was under his chairmanship that the Separate School on -Third Street was erected. In December, 1906, he was elected an alderman -of the city of Edmonton, and although running for the first time in the -city at large, as there are no wards, he came second on the list, the -first one beating him only by one vote. Two years later Mr. W. Gariepy -was re-elected, this time at the head of the list, having some 300 more -votes than the next man. While an alderman he held the chairmanship of -several important committees and was delegated on two occasions: first, -to Chicago with ex-Mayor J. A. McDougall, to inspect the automatic -telephone system, which was eventually to be installed in Edmonton; and, -second, to Ottawa with ex-Mayor Lee, to interview the Dominion -Government respecting the Dominion’s contribution towards the -construction of the C.P.R. high-level bridge between Strathcona and -Edmonton. It was during Mr. Gariepy’s term of office that the Edmonton -automatic telephone system was installed; that the street railway system -was completed and put in operation; and that the C.P.R high-level bridge -was completed and opened for traffic; and that negotiations for the -amalgamation of Edmonton and Strathcona were begun. In 1910 Mr. Gariepy -was chairman of the civic committee that organized such a splendid -reception as was tendered to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then Prime Minister, -on the occasion of his visit to the Capital of Alberta, and it was at -that time that Mr. Gariepy secured the adoption of a resolution by the -city council giving to a park the name of “Laurier Park.” Mr. Gariepy -took a leading part in the federal campaigns of 1904, 1908 and 1911. In -1909 he was the unsuccessful Liberal candidate in the provincial -constituency of St. Albert, his successful opponent being also a -Liberal, as there was no Conservative candidate running. In 1911 he was -elected Grand Knight of the Edmonton Council of the Knights of Columbus; -in 1907 he was elected president of the Edmonton Société de St. Jean -Baptiste; in 1912 he was elected vice-president of the French-Canadian -Alberta Convention, held in Edmonton, and by that convention was elected -as the only delegate to represent it at the French-Canadian Congress -held that year in the city of Quebec; in 1913 he was elected president -of the Society du Parler-Français of Alberta, and as such presided over -the French-Canadian congress of Alberta, held at Edmonton in 1914. On -September 9, 1903, Mr. Wilfrid Gariepy married Albertina Lessard, -daughter of Jean P. Lessard and Annie Davidson, of Cranbourne, P.Q., a -sister of the Hon. P. E. Lessard, M.L.A., for St. Paul, and a former -business partner of Mr. J. H. Gariepy. We may note that Mr. P. E. -Lessard had previously married Miss Hélène Gariepy, the eldest sister of -our subject. From the marriage of Mr. W. Gariepy with Miss Lessard have -been born four children: Hormidas, Marcelle, Wilfrid and George. Mr. -Gariepy is a member of the Y.M.C.A. and a lieutenant in the 101st -Edmonton Fusiliers. In 1912 he was elected as president of the Edmonton -Liberal Association; on March 17, 1913, he was elected a member of the -legislature for Beaver River. At the first session of that parliament, -in the following September, he was chosen to make the speech in moving -the adoption of the Speech from the Throne. On November 28, 1913, he was -sworn in as Minister of Municipal Affairs, becoming a member of the -administration headed by the Hon. Arthur L. Sifton. On December 15, -1913, Mr. Gariepy was re-elected for Beaver River, by acclamation. On -December 22, 1913, at the Cecil Hotel, as a compliment on his becoming a -member of the government, his French-Canadian compatriots, numbering -some four hundred, tendered him a banquet. In September, 1915, Mr. -Gariepy represented, with the Hon. Mr. Sifton, the Province of Alberta -at a national tax conference held in San Francisco, California. In -March, 1913, Mr. Gariepy was made a King’s Counsel for the Province of -Alberta. In August, 1915, the same honor was conferred on him by the -Province of Quebec. At the date of writing this biography, Mr. Gariepy -has been for over five years a member of the Alberta Government and his -friends predict that he has yet a long public career to fulfil. As -Minister of Municipal Affairs for Alberta Mr. Gariepy has been -responsible for the introduction of legislation which has been a -landmark in the western provinces, namely: The Wild Lands Tax Act and -the Municipal Hospitals Act. - - - - -[Illustration: SENATOR W.

Entered the employ of that firm as a lad in 1886, and steadily -rose to his present responsible position with a reputation as one of the -leading authorities in Canada on all questions relating to the fishing -industry. Leonard Fisheries, which started business in 1875, and is now -one of the leading concerns in its line, was incorporated under its -present form in 1917, as a result of the consolidation Leonard Bros., -Matthews & Scott, and A.

His recreation is golf, fishing and motoring. - - * * * * * - -=Harper, John Murdoch= (Quebec City), the Canadian educationist and -author, came to Canada in the year of Confederation, 1867, to take -charge of an Academy in New Brunswick. He was born in Johnstone, -Renfrewshire, Scotland, on the 10th of February, 1845, the eldest son of -Robert Montgomery Harper, the founder of the first newspaper published -in that town. His grand-uncle was Robert Montgomery, who was for many -years a mill-owner and manufacturer in Johnstone. From school he entered -the Glasgow E. C. Training College, after taking a Queen’s Scholarship, -and graduated as a teacher from it with the highest certificate of his -year granted by the Lords of the Council of Education, London, and with -special certificates from the Science and Art Department, Kensington. -After coming to Canada he became a graduate of Queen’s University, -Kingston, and thereafter received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, -from the Illinois University, after completing the three years’ -post-graduate course in the section of metaphysical science. In 1881 he -was unanimously elected a Fellow of the Educational Institute of -Scotland, an honor seldom conferred on teachers laboring outside of -Great Britain. For a time he acted as principal of the Model Schools of -Nova Scotia, and afterwards as principal of the Victoria High School of -St. John, New Brunswick. While there he was asked by the Premier of -Prince Edward Island to become Superintendent of Education in that -province, which he declined to accept. But when the Victoria School -buildings were destroyed in the great fire of St. John, he was induced -to accept the principalship of the Provincial Normal School in -Charlottetown and the Supervisorship of the City Schools, while St. John -and its school buildings were being rebuilt. At the end of three years -spent in inaugurating the new system of schools in Prince Edward Island, -he was invited, in face of his inclination to return to his former -position in New Brunswick, to take charge of the Quebec High School as -its Rector; and, accepting the appointment, he thus became identified -with the educational interests of the Province of Quebec, where he has -labored ever since, closing his career as an educationist in active -service as Inspector of the Protestant Superior Schools of that -province. While holding that office he entered upon his vocation as an -author, having been for many years editor-in-chief of the “Educational -Record,” a contributor to the “Educational Monthly” of Ontario, the -“Queen’s Quarterly,” and other periodicals, besides being associated -with Dr. Thomas Morison, of Glasgow, one of the most distinguished of -the educationists of Scotland, in the compilation of sundry text-books. -His earlier essays and addresses on “The New Education,” and “Cause and -Effect in School Work,” led to his issue of “A Manual on Moral Drill,” -in line with his pleadings for an educative “Mental and Physical Drill” -in the schools of the day. His plan for a definite moral training is -thus spoken of by a New York educationist and author of high standing: -“Dr. Harper’s work is entirely original. It is sound. It is eminently -practical and it should be most heartily adopted by all who have the -training of the young in hand, and who earnestly desire that the rising -generation may develop into a ‘coming race,’ in whom moral rectitude -will be natural and spontaneous.” As an author, Dr. Harper has had a -career as full of the best kind of literary work, as has been his career -as an educationist in advice with his co-workers in school progress -throughout Canada. The list of the books he has written is all but -incredibly large. His _chef-d’ouvre_ is unquestionably his drama of -“Champlain,” which has given him rank, as one critic says, as the -greatest of our Canadian dramatic poets since the days of Heavysege. The -late George Murray, of Montreal, a writer of just discrimination, -claimed that Dr. Harper is one of the most versatile and prolific of -Canadian litterateurs. A partial list of his literary output from year -to year includes the following: “The Development of the Greek Drama,” -“The Chronicles of Kartdale,” “Sacrament Sunday and the Bells of -Kartdale,” “The Earliest Beginnings of Canada,” “The Montgomery Siege,” -“The Little Sergeant,” “The Seer of Silver Lake,” “_Domini Domus_, or -the Chateau St. Louis,” “The Songs of the Commonwealth,” and “A Guide to -Good Will in the Empire.” Three uniformly bound volumes of his series of -“Studies in Verse and Prose,” have so far appeared, including “The -Battle of the Plains,” and “The Annals of the War,” supplementary to his -“Champlain, a Drama.” With the influence of his earlier years clinging -to him, he has not failed to produce many pieces that depict the scenes -of the land of his birth; and his poetic status as a versifier in the -Doric of the Scottish Lowlands has been duly recognized by Dr. John D. -Ross in his volume on “The Scottish Poets in America,” as well as by the -gifted author of the book entitled “The Scot in America.” Dr. Ross pays -a high tribute to the author of “Sacrament Sunday,” “Saint Andrew’s -Day,” “The Old Graveyard,” “Auld Jeames and His Crack,” “Horace in the -Doric,” and others of Dr. Harper’s Scottish odes, in such words as -these: “Sweet as the note of a bird in the wildwood, strongly embued -with patriotism, fervent in religious sentiment, eloquent in thought, -pure in expression, and noble in purpose, form a few of the -characteristics of Dr. Harper, the Canadian educationist and author.” In -addition to all this, Dr. Harper is a loyal Canadian. In all his public -utterances and in the pleadings of his prolific authorship in book or -magazine or newspaper, he is a Canadian citizen who upholds as a British -subject the ample patriotism of the British Empire. He has been twice -married, his first wife’s maiden name having been Miss Agnes Kirkwood, -daughter of William Kirkwood of Stanley Muir, near Paisley, and his -second, Miss Elizabeth Hastings, daughter of Andrew Hastings, of St. -John and step-daughter of William Nossack, a former Mayor of Quebec. His -family has comprised two sons and five daughters. His grandson, Major -John Harper Evans, has been a soldier at the front, after his training -at the Kingston Royal Military College. - - * * * * * - -=Brennan, John Charles.= In 1854, when but a boy, when Ottawa (then -By-Town) had only some 7,000 inhabitants, when the old Ottawa and St. -Lawrence Railway was just built—the only line of railway connecting -Ottawa with other towns at that time—when houses were few and far -between and when there was no prospect of the place being selected by -Her Most Gracious Majesty the late Queen Victoria as the Capital of the -Dominion of Canada, the subject of this sketch became a member of the -wholesale grocery firm of S. Howell & Co., with which he remained for -twenty-seven years, retiring from business in 1881. While giving his -untiring care to the affairs of the firm, and by his energy and business -tact adding in a marked degree to its advancement—its commercial and -financial success—Mr. Brennan, with full confidence in the future that -he perceived was in store for Ottawa, never lost an opportunity to place -his time, ambition and money in channels leading to its improvement and, -with other enterprising citizens, exerted his every endeavor to -stimulate its growth and importance. To-day, with marked pride, he sees -the seven thousand population increased to one hundred and twenty -thousand, the once fields and uncared-for lanes converted into -beautifully paved streets, parks, and gardens, the costly Parliament -Buildings, standing in all their grandeur upon the hill overlooking the -Ottawa River; huge commercial, financial and office buildings and -apartment houses galore facing the eye at every angle, and handsome -modern residences in abundance. Aside from his other real estate -holdings, Mr. Brennan, on the corner of Bank and Queen Streets, in the -very midst of the Capital’s commercial and financial activities, has -placed that large and solidly-constructed office building, “The -Trafalgar.” Mr. Brennan has ever taken a keen interest in Ottawa’s -hospitals, charitable institutions, churches, etc., and has unstintingly -contributed to their support. Whenever called upon to help advance their -interests he has freely contributed his quota, and more. During the -great war, his moral, physical, intellectual and financial aid have ever -been given to promote the successful operations of the Government, and -to afford the war workers, the boys at the front and the returned -soldiers, material help. Mr. Brennan has grown up with the city and -together both he and it have prospered.

At the seat of war he was continuously engaged as a -commanding officer all during the campaigning up to the summer of 1917, -having taken part with his Division in the operations of Neuve Chapelle, -in March, 1915, as well as in the second battle of Ypres in April, in -the fight at Festubert in May, and that of Givenchy in June. In -recognition of his skill and prudence in these engagements he was -promoted to command the 5th Brigade of the 2nd Canadian Division in the -month of August following, and forthwith as a Brigadier-General, he led -his Brigade in the successive engagements of Wytschaete, Kemmel, and St. -Eloi, during the spring of 1916. Subsequently he was placed in charge of -the 4th Canadian Division and made extended raids in the Ypres salient -and at St. Eloi, and thereafter, for forty-nine days without -intermission, he and his Brigade shared in the exciting engagements -along the River Somme. No less than three attacks were made by General -Watson and his Division, one on the 11th of October, another on the 22nd -of that month, and one on the 18th of November, 1916, all of these -accumulating renown by their intrepid approach on the enemy. Nor was the -commander’s bravery overlooked by the War Office, since General Watson -has come in for special mention in the despatches exchanged between the -general Field Staff and the War Department no less than four times. He -was awarded the high honor of Commander of the Bath, and in 1918 was -further honored by a Knighthood in that order. The record of the -General’s active service at the front is a fitting complement to a -career of over twenty years’ experience in military operations, from the -days of his entering the 8th Royal Rifles, made up of his Quebec -fellow-citizens, to the time of his being a General in full command of -the battlefields of Europe. His career savors of romance. A newspaper -employee, a prominent business man in his native city, a volunteer of -the ranks, a captain, a major, a colonel, and at last a general, form -the grades of a ladder overcome step by step which his fellow-Canadians -cannot but contemplate with pride. It was taken for granted that in the -event of Sir Arthur Currie’s transfer to another command Sir David would -succeed him as Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian army in France. -General Watson married Miss Mary Browning, of Quebec, on September 11, -1893, and has a family of three daughters. - - * * * * * - -=Thompson, Alfred= (Dawson City, Yukon Territory), Physician and -Surgeon, son of James A.

Congdon, K.C., by a -majority of over 450, and again returned at the last general elections -held in the Yukon Territory, which were deferred until December 31, -1917.

His parents are Mr. and Mrs. James Struthers, -of Port Elgin, who for many years were residents of Bruce Township, and -whose farm was one of the best, the owner having brought his splendid -Scotch knowledge into one of the finest settlements in the Dominion, -where success and shrewd business ability crowned his labors. This son -of worthy parents had a longing for knowledge and professional life, and -as a youth was studious in S.S. No. 8, Bruce, having his thirst for -knowledge awakened and developed along proper lines. His next step was -to the High School in Port Elgin, from which he successfully -matriculated. He then went to business college for half a year, which -was followed by duties in railroad office work. While thus employed he -decided that his life work would be that of a doctor. He attended -Toronto University and was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Medicine in -1911. Of a likeable and charming disposition he was ever a favorite at -college, and was honored by his fellow students in the University by -being made Treasurer of the “At Home” Committee of the year ’11. His -Scotch ancestry and faithful application to his profession have made him -friends, and few young men have reached the splendid position he now -occupies. He came back home and settled in the village of Tiverton, -where his practice is large and continually growing. Success has crowned -his ambition, which was to be able to relieve the sufferings of -humanity, and his splendid abilities are often called for in -consultation with his surrounding fellow practitioners, all of whom -esteem him most highly. Determination and decision are two faculties he -possesses. Added to these are a bright and sunny disposition, with a -broad and charitable outlook on life which make for him friends of a -lasting character.

He also -followed contracting, building piers and public wharves. In business he -has been exceptionally successful. He had a liking for municipal -politics, and first served in the town council in 1895. He was elected -Reeve of Wiarton in 1910-11, and again in 1915-16-17-18. At the January -meeting of the County Council of Bruce in 1918 he was elected to the -honorable position of warden. His popularity is not solely due to his -genial good nature, but to the fact that he is a keen business man and -takes a deep interest in every enterprise he is connected with. He -served as President of the Wiarton Board of Trade for many years. He has -been Chairman of the Board of Managers of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church -for a number of years. When the recruiting campaign for the 160th Bruce -Battalion was in full swing Gideon Kastner was one of its whirlwind -supporters. He probably got his enthusiastic military ardour from his -grandfather who served with Napoleon through many campaigns. He is a -loyal supporter of all patriotic movements, lending his energy to every -cause that tends to win the war. His great pastime is bowling. In -politics he is a Liberal. He married Annie Symon, of Wiarton.

He -was educated at the public school of his district and later at Strathroy -Collegiate Institute. Going to British Columbia in 1893 when but -eighteen years of age he first engaged in school teaching at Sidney, -B.C. Later he located in Victoria, B.C., and entered on a business -career. At the time the war broke out he was the head of the firm of -Currie & Power, one of the leading real estate concerns of Vancouver -Island. Nearest to his heart, however, were military pursuits, and he -early identified himself with the 5th Canadian Garrison Artillery, in -which he served fourteen years, rising ultimately to the rank of -Lieutenant-Colonel. With him, however, military activity was not merely -a case of dress parades, but a real pursuit. He devoted himself -seriously to the study of modern tactics, not only in connection with -his own arm of the service but infantry as well. He used his influence -to encourage rifle shooting, and from 1907 onward was President of the -British Columbia Rifle Association. On the outbreak of the war followed -by the decision of the Canadian Government to send an Expeditionary -Force to the front, Col. Currie was recognized as one of the most -efficient volunteer officers in this country, and when Sir Sam Hughes -telegraphed him asking him to accept a command he did not hesitate to -offer his services. He was assigned to the command of the Vancouver -Highland Battalion, which trained at Valcartier Camp, and went overseas -in the late autumn of 1914 to complete its training on Salisbury Plain. -The regiment was one of the first Canadian units sent to France, and in -the terrible fighting at St. Julien and Langemarck in connection with -the second battle of Ypres, April, 1915, had its baptism of blood. This -was the engagement of which Viscount French reported to the War Office -“The Canadians saved the day.” In this severe test Colonel Currie won a -reputation for leadership and courage of the highest order which has -distinguished him ever since. He received enthusiastic praise from -General Alderson, the Imperial officer then in command of the Canadian -division, and on the latter’s recommendation was accorded the coveted -D.S.O. and given command of a brigade. His service as brigade commander -proved so completely successful that his work won the attention of the -British Headquarters Staff, and when a reorganization of commands ensued -as a result of the arrival of two new Canadian divisions in the field, -he was elevated to the rank of Major-General and placed in charge of the -First Division of the Canadian Army. In this post he commanded his -division at the Battle of Hooge, when it resisted the full force of the -German assault in what was described as “this particular hell of Hooge.” -His cool and brilliant handling of what was admittedly a critical -situation for all forces on the bloody Ypres salient won him the -unstinted praise of his immediate chief-in-command, General Sir Julian -Byng, and all the other British military experts. The correspondent of -the London “Times” reported that nothing finer was ever seen in warfare -than the manner in which the lines over Maple Cape, Observatory Ridge -and Armagh Wood were held by the troops under General Currie’s command. -Sir Julian Byng in his report said “I am proud of the Canadian troops -under my command. Their behaviour has been magnificent. I have never -known fiercer or more deadly barrage, nor have I seen any troops fight -with more earnestness, courage and cheerfulness.” He especially praised -General Currie’s counter attack with the Canadian division at 1.30 on -the morning of June 13, 1916, on a front of 500 yards extending from -Sanctuary Wood to Hill 60, when heavy losses were inflicted on the -Germans and prisoners taken. The spring of 1917 was marked by glorious -achievement on the part of the Canadian troops, including the captures -of Messines Ridge and Vimy Ridge, and finally attaining the investment -of Lens. In the midst of the spring campaign Sir Julian Byng was shifted -to the command of a British Army. General Currie was at once recognized -as his logical successor and became the Chief-in-Command of the Canadian -Army in the field with four divisions under him. The victory of Vimy -which was heralded throughout the world as a great military achievement, -was generally credited to General Currie’s masterly powers of -preparation and organization. It was in recognition of these services -that His Majesty King George knighted him on the field of Vimy as a -member of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Earlier still he had -been made a Companion of the Bath. It was on June 19, 1917, that he -assumed the chief command, and one of his first achievements was the -capture of Hill 70 on his own initiative, rendering the important mining -city of Lens, which had been in German occupation for nearly three -years, untenable for military uses by the enemy. General Currie could -have occupied Lens any time during the summer of 1917 that it was deemed -desirable, but owing to the belief of the French Government that its -capture would only result in further destruction, without military -advantage, the word to advance was withheld. Instead, during the autumn -of 1917 General Currie and his army were assigned by Sir Douglas Haig to -one of the most terrible tasks that was ever allotted to a military -force. It was that of taking Passchendaele Ridge in Flanders with a view -to getting to Roulers and cutting off the U-Boat bases of Zeebrugge and -Ostend. Sir Douglas Haig assigned the task to the Canadians because he -believed that under the command of General Currie they had developed -into the best “shock” troops in the world. The Germans on the other hand -believed that Passchendaele Ridge was impregnable, and many military -experts agreed with them; but the U-Boat menace was such that the -attempt was deemed to be justified by necessity. Before the attack -General Currie personally addressed his men, and did not disguise what -they had to face, but so fired them with the spirit of victory that -despite terrible losses they carried the Ridge. It was one of the -tragedies of the war that the Flanders winter closed down so suddenly -that it was impossible to reap the full fruits of victory by advancing -to Roulers. By spring the situation had been absolutely changed by the -great German offensive of March, 1918, and Passchendaele was temporarily -abandoned. This circumstance did not alter the greatness of the original -achievement, attained in obedience to the orders of the Headquarters -command. In the final stages of the war which gave the Allies victory -the Canadian army under General Currie played a role of immortal lustre. -They entered in the fighting in full force on August 8, 1918, and from -thence onward until the signing of the armistice on November 11 victory -after victory crowned their banners. The greatest of their achievements -was perhaps the breaking of the Drocourt-Queant Switch Line, a part of -the great “Hindenburg” defence system, which the Germans had also -boasted was impregnable. When General Currie achieved this victory and -opened the road to Cambrai it was at once recognized by war experts, and -even by German critics, that Marshal Foch’s strategy could succeed in a -much shorter period than had been anticipated if such efforts could be -repeated on other parts of the Allied front. As everyone knows this -prognostication was not falsified. Before the war was over General -Currie and his army had to their credit the capture of Cambrai and of -Valenciennes, two of the most vital points in the German resistance. Two -hours before the armistice was signed General Currie rode as a conqueror -into Mons, the point where the old “contemptibles” of the original -British Army had first shown their prowess against the Germans in 1914. -During the cleaning-up operations following the war, his administrative -abilities have proven most valuable. On New Year’s Day, 1919, his -services were further recognized by bestowing on him the honor of Grand -Cross of St. Michael and St. George, an order in which he was already a -Knight. It must not be forgotten also that in the critical period when -Canada’s maintenance of her forces in France was in doubt, General -Currie’s voice had great weight in determining the action of the people -of this country. He strongly urged on Sir Robert Borden and other -ministers that this country should do everything in its power to help -win the war and meet the condition caused by the falling off of -enlistments, a condition which was threatening the dissolution of his -ever-victorious army. The result was the decision of the Canadian -Government to adopt the policy of conscription. During the election -campaign that ensued he sent the following message to the Canadian -people on behalf of himself and his staff: “We sincerely sympathize with -endeavors to arouse our countrymen to the necessity of remaining united -and firm in their determination to furnish troops in the field all -necessary support. We deeply deplore the fact that the wisdom of doing -so has become a subject for debate and controversy by those at home. If -support is now withheld or even delayed it means that additional burdens -will have to be borne by men already doing the seemingly impossible.” -This message coming from the most eminent of Canadian soldiers and one -who in private life had been a political opponent of the Borden -administration, could not fail to bring thousands of electors to a sense -of their duty to the soldier in the field. There have been rumors that -an effort would be made to induce General Currie to enter Canadian -politics as a Liberal leader on his return from the front, but so far he -has refused to assent to any such proposals. He is an Anglican in -religion and was married in 1901 to Miss L. S. Chaworth-Masters of -Victoria, B.C., by whom he has one daughter. A quiet man of iron -determination and marvellous powers of organization, he is, however, -certain to play a prominent role in the life of Canada in future, -whatever path he may elect to follow. - - * * * * * - -=Girard, A. D.=, one of the leading advocates of St. John’s, Quebec, was -born at Ste. Hyacinthe in that province on May 10, 1841, the son of -Michel and Sophie (Cheicoine) Girard. He was educated at Ste. Hyacinthe -College and at St. Mary’s College, Montreal. He qualified for the law -and was called to the Quebec bar (of which he is now one of the honored -veterans) on April 4, 1864.

L.= (Toronto, Ont.), Merchant, is one -of those “British Born” who have carved out for themselves successful -careers in Canada, although, since he was but four years old at the time -of his parents’ removal to this country, his view-point is essentially -Canadian.

Yes! who does not know him? No -one in the city, or for that matter for many miles of country -surrounding the Capital of the Dominion, can be found that does not know -the President and General-Manager of the famous 2 Macs, Limited, dealers -in fine tailoring, hats, furnishings, clothing and boots and shoes, for -men and boys, with entrances on Sparks, Bank and Queen Streets, at the -busy Corner—corner of Sparks and Bank Streets, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. -Not only is he well known: he is also one of the most popular business -men, social companion, lover of sports, and general good fellow with all -his friends, acquaintances and customers to be found in any community, -and his success in life, and his popularity, are what have sprung from -his open, genial and straightforward conduct towards and with all who -have had the good fortune to come in contact with him ever since he -arrived in Ottawa in 1879 when he became an apprentice in the dry goods -business in which line he served for ten years. Mr. McClennaghan has -held almost every public office in the gift of the citizens of -Ottawa—Public School Trustee, member of the Collegiate Institute Board, -Controller of the City of Ottawa, Chairman of the Carnegie Library -Board, President of the Central Canada Exhibition Association, Justice -of the Peace, Member of the Board of Trade, Chairman of the Boxing -Committee of the Ottawa Amateur Athletic Club, Vice-President of the -Sportsmen’s Patriotic Association, President of the Liberal Conservative -Association, Promoter of the Connaught Park Jockey Club and a member of -the Original Committee who started the Prescott and Ottawa Highway -Scheme which to-day is receiving such prominent attention from all -lovers of good roads and from the Ontario Government—and could have -held them all and been elected to others of equal or even more -importance had he so desired. Whenever he was put forward as a candidate -for any office—public, political, educational, sporting or social, his -election was assured, and when he consented at a most critical time in -the history of Ottawa’s Municipal Administration, to be a candidate for -Controller he polled the largest majority ever secured by any man -running for public office in the city. In addition Mr. McClennaghan is -profoundly patriotic and public spirited and ever since the war started -has been active, energetic and generous in helping forward Canada’s -effort. His son, Lieut. Stewart Lyon McClennaghan served in France with -distinction in the Royal Flying Corps, and his nephew, Lieut. Vivian S. -C. McClennaghan of the Canadian Engineers, son of Mr. James McClennaghan -of the Marine Dept., has been awarded the Military Cross for bravery -while in charge of an important tract which was being heavily shelled -and bombed and completed his task though twice buried by shell fire. In -1889 Mr. Stewart McClennaghan formed a partnership with the late Mr. M. -D. MacKay as merchant tailors under the name of the 2 Macs—McClennaghan -& MacKay. Three years later, in 1892, Mr. McClennaghan bought out Mr. -MacKay and continued in the business until 1904 when he organized a -joint stock company under the name of the 2 Macs, Limited, he becoming -President and Managing-Director. To-day the business is recognized as -one of the largest outfitting establishments in Canada, handling -everything in boys’ and men’s wear, and occupying some 5,000 square feet -of floor space, with a frontage of 100 feet on Bank Street, 66 feet on -Sparks Street, and 33 feet on Queen Street, with the prospects in -evidence that considerably more space will shortly be necessary if the -business continues to expand as it has during the past decade. From 1900 -to 1908 Mr. McClennaghan was a member of the Public School Board and was -chairman for two years, and from 1908 to 1911 he was a member of the -Ottawa Collegiate Institute Board from which he resigned to run for -Controller of the City of Ottawa, as above stated. During the existence -of the City’s Publicity Board Mr. McClennaghan was Chairman. Mr. -McClennaghan is Chairman of the Carnegie Library Board and has been a -member of the Board for many years. He is President of the Central -Canada Exhibition Association. His first year of office, 1917, -terminated with the Exhibition showing the largest receipts ever -obtained in the history of the Association. He is a Justice of the Peace -for the City of Ottawa and for the County of Carleton. He is a member of -the Council of the Board of Trade, and has been a member of the Board -for years. In amateur sports Mr. McClennaghan has been prominently -identified for many years.

He was President of the Ottawa Bicycle Club and a member of -their racing team. He was Chairman of the Board Committee of the Ottawa -Athletic Club for several years. He is one of the promoters of the -Connaught Park Jockey Club, became Vice-President, and is now Chairman -of the Management Committee. He is Vice-President of the Sportsmen’s -Patriotic Association, and it is he who is responsible for and was one -of the original Committee who started the Prescott and Ottawa Highway -Scheme. From 1916 to 1918 Mr. McClennaghan was President of the Ottawa -Liberal Conservative (now Unionist) Association. Mr. Stewart -McClennaghan is the son of William John (Contractor) and Sarah (Boyd) -McClennaghan and a nephew of Mr. N. K. Boyd, ex.-M.P. for MacDonald, -Manitoba. He was born at Oxford Mills, Ontario, July 14, 1866, and he -was educated at the Ottawa Public Schools. August 19, 1895, he married -Matilda A. Lyon, daughter of the late John G. and Victoria Lyon, of -Ottawa. The union has been blessed with two sons and five -daughters—Lieut. Stewart Lyon, Nora Boyd, Hilda Brook, Ruth Hasley, -Helen Read, Hugh John, Doris Victoria. He is a member of the following -Clubs: Laurentian, Rivermead Golf, Victoria Yacht, Abitibi Fish and -Game, and of the following Societies: Masonic, Oddfellows, Foresters and -Workmen. In religion he is Anglican and in politics Conservative. For -recreation he indulges in golf, hunting and yachting. His military -career was spent in the ranks of the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards. His -place of residence is 330 Cooper Street, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Buchanan, William A., M.P.= (Lethbridge, Alta.), Publisher, was born in -Fraserville, Peterboro County, Ont., July 2, 1876; the son of Rev. Wm. -Buchanan. His earlier education took place in the Public and High -Schools of Trenton, Brighton and Norwood, Ont. He first became -interested in newspaper work in Peterboro, Ont., and later was News -Editor of the “Evening Telegram,” Toronto, removing from there to accept -the position of managing director of the St. Thomas Journal; remaining -in that position until 1905, when he decided to try his fortune in the -West, locating at Lethbridge, Alberta, where he established and became -publisher of the “Lethbridge Herald,” first as a weekly and, in 1907, -changed it to a daily. For two years he was President of the Alberta and -Eastern British Columbia Press Association, and Director of the Western -Associated Press. He entered politics in 1909, in the Liberal interests, -and was elected as the first member to represent Lethbridge City in the -Alberta Legislature, and became a member of the Rutherford Government in -the fall of the same year. In 1911 he resigned, over a difference of -opinion on a railway bargain, and then contested the Constituency of -Medicine Hat for the House of Commons, defeating the late member, C. A. -McGrath (Conservative) by a majority of 1,500. Mr. Buchanan was a member -of the Special House of Commons Committee on old age pensions and on -redistribution.

Williams & Co., -Toronto, Ont. The name of H. H. Williams is a familiar one in the -Canadian real estate field. For many years now his firm, that of H. H. -Williams & Co., with headquarters in Toronto, Canada, has occupied a -prominent place among the old-established and conservative real estate -businesses of the Dominion. Mr. Williams himself, who is the active head -of the firm, is a native of Toronto. Born on September 21, 1862, he -received his education in the local public schools and the Toronto -Grammar School. For a short time after matriculating from the latter -institution, he studied law in the office of George Morphy, but -presently relinquished the idea of becoming a lawyer in favor of -following a mercantile career. His first employment was obtained in the -office of Taylor Bros., paper manufacturers, Toronto, where for two -years he filled the position of book-keeper. Then he turned his -attention to the lumber business, in the prosecution of which he met -with much success. He succeeded in developing an extensive connection -with the railroads of the country, furnishing them with the timber and -manufactured lumber needed in construction and also built up a -considerable export trade to the United States in clear lumber. In 1886 -Mr. Williams withdrew from the lumber business and entered the real -estate field. He founded the firm of H. H. Williams & Co. and began -those operations which have subsequently established his reputation as a -sane, far-sighted and reliable dealer. To give some idea of the extent -and importance of the undertakings which Mr. Williams has handled during -the past few years in Toronto, mention might be made of the following -large transactions, all of which were carried through in their entirety -by the firm of H. H. Williams & Co.: The purchase for the Canadian -Pacific Railway Company of the right-of-way along the Esplanade; the -purchase, also for the C.P.R., of the old Government House property on -King Street, together with three blocks of land extending from Simcoe -Street to Spadina Avenue, south of King Street, in connection with the -establishment of freight terminals; the purchase of the two blocks -bounded by Yonge, Carlton, Church and Alexander Streets, which with -subsidiary properties involved an investment of over five million -dollars; the purchase, on behalf of the Dominion Government, of -properties required for a new general post office, a new railway postal -station and an enlarged customs house; and the purchase of the two -blocks bounded by Yonge, College, Teraulay and Hayter Streets, -comprising nine acres of land in the very heart of Toronto and forming -one of the most important retail locations in the city. - - * * * * * - -=Deroche, William Paschal= (Napanee, Ont.), Local Registrar of the -Supreme Court of Ontario, is the son of Paschal and Elizabeth Jane -Deroche, and married on January 1, 1919, Helen Aylesworth Asselstine, -daughter of the late Benjamin Asselstine, of Kingston, Ont. He was born -at Newburgh, Ont., on August 27, 1854, and educated at Newburgh Academy. -After graduation, Mr. Deroche taught school at Deseronto (then Mill -Point) and other places for five years successfully, and began the study -of law in 1878 with his brother, the late H. M. Deroche, K.C., and Judge -Madden, at Napanee, and also with the well-known firm of Beatty, -Blackstock & Co., at Toronto. He was appointed local Registrar of the -Supreme Court of Ontario, Clerk of the County Court and Registrar of the -Surrogate Court in June, 1887, and has been a member of the Public -Library Board in Napanee for several years. Outside of these offices, -however, Mr. Deroche has sought no public honors, devoting his entire -energies and finding his best reward in discharging them to the -satisfaction of the public and the members of his chosen profession. He -is a member of the Anglican Church and a Liberal in politics. Judge -Deroche, W. D. M. Shorey, Barrister, both of Belleville, Ont.; Col. -Alex. P. Deroche, Director of Works and Buildings at Ottawa; and H. M. -P. Deroche, Barrister, of Melville, Sask., are all nephews of Mr. -Deroche. With the possible exception of Chief Justice Sir Glenholme -Falconbridge, of Toronto, all the Judges of the High Court who were on -the Bench when Mr. Deroche was appointed to his present position, are -dead. His brother, H. M. Deroche, K.C., died March 10, 1916. - - * * * * * - -=Forster, J. W. L.=, Artist (Toronto, Ont.), was born at Norval, Ont., -and was educated at the Brampton Grammar School. Of him, an eminent -public man gives us the following: “Canada, though in some senses a -young country, has already produced a group of noted artists, whose -depiction of her landscape and life is helping to make the Dominion -known throughout the world. Among the leaders in this group is John -Wycliffe Lowes Forster, than whom none of our artists has done so much -for our national portraiture. Not only has he painted more of our public -men than any of his contemporaries, but he is the only Canadian artist -who has devoted his whole genius to the painting of portraits. If all -Mr. Forster’s portraits of famous Canadians, which hang in public -buildings and noted homes, were gathered together, they would in -themselves constitute a large national portrait gallery, and this -gallery would be quite representative of the great leaders in all walks -of life. Among our statesmen—Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Wilfrid -Laurier, Alexander Mackenzie, John Sandfield Macdonald, Sir John -Thompson, Robert Baldwin, Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, William S. Fielding, Sir -George Ross and Sir James P. Whitney, constitute a comprehensive group. -In divinity, such noted personalities as Punshon, Cavan, Carman, Primate -Archbishop Machray, Primate Archbishop Sweatman, Bishop O’Connor, -Milligan, Kellog, Maclaren; in the Judiciary—Chancellors Moss, Boyd, -Meredith and Mulock; in University life—Paxton Young, Geikie, Nelles, -Burwash, Rand, Wallace, Loudon and Galbraith; among noted military -men—Wolfe, Brock, Roberts, Denison, Merritt and Otter; in other -walks—Strathcona, Goldwin Smith, General Booth, Egerton Ryerson, Sir -Sandford Fleming, Senator Cox, Senator Jaffray, MacKenzie King, Sir -Gilbert Parker and George Brown are representative of a brilliant galaxy -preserved to posterity by Forster’s indefatigable genius. Added to his -Canadian clientele, Mr. Forster has in recent years painted many -distinguished portrait subjects in the United States. Born in Halton -County in the middle of the Nineteenth century, of cultivated English -stock, he was reared, like other men of genius, amid the simpler -pursuits of country life, and his pictures are therefore remarkable for -subtle insight into character, and have at the same time the refined -atmosphere of old world culture.” - - * * * * * - -=Englehart, Joel Lewis= (Toronto, Ont.), Chairman of the Temiskaming and -Northern Ontario Railway (owned by the Province of Ontario), is the son -of Joel and Hannah Englehart, and was born on November 2, 1847, in -Cleveland, Ohio, and received his education there. He arrived in Canada -in January, 1869, and soon afterward engaged in the oil business in -London, Ont., becoming a producer, then a refiner and exporter, with -offices in New York, and in 1881, when only thirty-four years of age, -became Vice-President of the Imperial Oil Co., which position he still -holds. In 1882 he removed to Petrolea, where he became, and still is, -President of the Crown Savings & Loan Company, of Petrolea, and he is -also Vice-President of the London & Western Trusts Co.; Director of the -Bank of Toronto; ex-Governor of Toronto University and President of the -Petrolea Liberal-Conservative Association, in addition to having many -other business interests. In 1891 Mr. Englehart married Charlotte -Eleanor, daughter of the late Thomas Thompson, of Adelaide, Ont., who -died in 1908, and in whose memory he founded the Charlotte Eleanor -Hospital in Petrolea in 1910, which is on the site of his old homestead -and surrounded by thirty-five acres of land. In 1909 he gave an X-Ray -equipment to St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, and in the following year -a chime of eleven bells, one of the finest in the Province, to Christ -Church, Petrolea, and it is safe to assume that his private generosity -has more than kept pace with his public benefactions. In March, 1905, -Mr. Englehart was appointed Chairman of the Temiskaming & Northern -Ontario Railway Commission and his success in developing what he is -pleased to call “Greater Ontario” has amply justified the late Sir James -Whitney’s choice in placing him in this responsible position. He has -been accustomed to business on a large scale, involving powers of -comprehension, quick perception and careful calculation, and on his -appointment, turned his ability and experience to good account in the -service of the Province. He is very much interested in the extension of -the road and the development of the vast farming, timber and mining -country it serves, as may be judged from the fact that only eleven times -during the twelve years he has been Chairman of the Commission has he -missed his monthly trip over the road, and only once has he taken a -month’s holiday. He believes that “Greater Ontario” is the biggest asset -Canada has and is firmly convinced that no spot on the continent affords -such opportunity for success as the territory traversed by the T. & N.O. -Railway System and that to which it has not yet extended. In support of -this claim, Mr. Englehart refers to a series of articles published in -the “Globe” of August, 1916, which has previously been somewhat -critical, written by that paper’s farming editor, and giving statistics -to show that the production both in roots and grain per acre in “Greater -Ontario” was far in excess of the best returns in the older sections of -the Province. Mr. Englehart is both the apostle and the prophet of the -North, enthusiastically proclaiming its unrivalled potential -possibilities, and as he is better informed on the subject than any -other man, his statements may be accepted at face value. Mr. Englehart -is an Episcopalian in religion and a Mason. His clubs are the New York, -Toronto, Albany, Empire, Toronto Hunt and Ontario Jockey, and the -London, of London, Ont. Genial, a versatile and convincing -conversationalist, alert and strong willed, he works actively in the -immense field he supervises and takes keen pleasure in its development. - - * * * * * - -=MacKenzie, John Angus=, who was born at Guelph, Ontario, October 20, -1878, was educated at the Public and High Schools, Harriston, and the -Model School, Guelph, Ontario, and taught school at Hanover, Ontario, -from 1897 to 1898. From 1899 to 1901 he was assistant to C. M. Hayes, -General Manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, Montreal. Arriving in Ottawa -in the latter year he started in business for himself, and to-day is -President of MacKenzie Limited, Manufacturers of Railway and Lumbermen’s -Supplies, 132 to 136 Lyon Street, Ottawa, whose trade extends throughout -Canada and to other parts of the world. From 1903 to 1907 Mr. MacKenzie -served as Lieutenant of Company A, Governor-General’s Foot Guards. His -brother, James David MacKenzie was killed on September 28, 1918, while -fighting at the front in the great World War. Twice before he had been -wounded and had just returned to the front in France when he met his -death. Two brothers, W. M. and Thomas, served King and Country, the -former being gassed and wounded, and a sister, Margaret, served as a -nurse at the Orpington Hospital, England. Mr. MacKenzie in 1901 married -Jean Andrew, daughter of Archibald Andrew, one of Ottawa’s most charming -vocalists, as a result of which he has one son and one daughter. Mr. -MacKenzie’s father and mother, Kenneth and Mary MacKenzie, reside on -Melgund Avenue, Ottawa. Mr. MacKenzie is a Liberal in politics, and for -years was Secretary of Ottawa Reform Association. He is a member of the -A.F. & A.M. Society. His recreations are fishing and tennis, and his -place of residence 229 Clemow Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Harkin, James B.=, is one of those successful journalists who have been -selected by the Dominion Government to occupy important positions in the -service of Canada. In appointing Mr. Harkin to the responsible position -of Commissioner of Dominion Parks, the Government of Canada made a happy -selection, and his work in connection with the Government-owned Parks of -Canada—in his descriptive and handsomely printed and illustrated -publications, in his general ability for such work and in his careful -and personal attention to their care and improvement—is well seen in -the vast improvements that have taken place and in the publicity that -they have had. When Hon. Sir Clifford Sifton was Minister of Interior in -1903, he selected Mr. Harkin as his Private Secretary, which office he -held with that distinguished gentleman until the latter resigned his -portfolio in 1905. Hon. Frank Oliver, succeeding Sir Clifford as -Minister of Interior, retained the services of Mr. Harkin until 1911, -when he appointed him to his present position, viz., Commissioner of -Dominion Parks. If anything, Mr. Harkin has proven more competent in his -present position than he was when occupying the position of private -secretary, and that is saying something. Mr. Harkin was born at Vankleek -Hill, Ont., January 30, 1875, and received his education in the Public -School, Vankleek Hill, and at the High School, Marquette, Michigan. He -became connected with the newspaper work in Montreal in 1892 and served -on the staff of the Ottawa “Journal” from 1893 to 1900. Mr. Harkin is -the son of William and Eliza (McDonnell) Harkin, is a member of the -Ottawa Civil Service and the Rivermead Golf Clubs. He is a Roman -Catholic in religion and resides at 138 Lewis Street, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Ewart, David=, Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works, -Ottawa, was born at Penicuik, near Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 18, -1843.

In 1871, -four years after the establishment of Canadian Confederation, he was -appointed Assistant Engineer and Architect of the Department of Public -Works for Canada, and took up his residence in Ottawa. In 1897 he was -promoted to the position of Chief Architect. In the early days of his -service he had charge of the completion of the main tower of the -beautiful Parliament Buildings at Ottawa, which were destroyed by fire -during the great war. He also took charge of the erection of the -Canadian buildings at the Paris Exposition, the Chicago World’s Fair and -at other famous international expositions. He was decorated by the -French Government, and in 1903 was honored by the King with the Imperial -Service Order. He was appointed a Member of the Board of Assessors in -connection with additions to the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa in 1906, -and was elected a Councillor of the Royal Architects Institute of Canada -in 1909. In government circles he is looked on as one of the Nestors of -the civil service. In May, 1877, he married Margaret Segsworth, daughter -of Segsworth Simpson, Barnsley, Yorkshire, England, and resides at 135 -Cameron Street, Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=Armstrong, Samuel, M.P.P.= (Parry Sound, Ont.), one of the early -pioneers of the District of Muskoka and Parry Sound, having settled in -Muskoka in 1862, and Parry Sound in January, 1867.

He is a son of the late -Mayor Stanislas David, a farmer and officer of the Canadian Militia, and -Elizabeth Tremblay, his wife. Senator David was born at -Sault-au-Recollect, P.Q., on March 24th, 1840, and educated at Ste. -Therese College, Quebec. He took up the study of law and while yet a -student became identified with journalism as one of the founders of the -newspaper “Le Colonisateur.” In 1870 he in company with M. Mousseau and -Desbarats founded “L’Opinion Publique” an illustrated weekly, of which -he became chief editor, and resigned as such because he refused to take -the responsibility of approving the Pacific scandal. In 1874 he founded -in company with C. Beausoliel, M.P., and edited “Le Bien Public” and -later published “La Tribune.” In the seventies he began to win fame as -the author of many essays and books on French Canadian history, on which -he is perhaps the greatest living authority. These include “Les -Patriotes de 1837-8”; “Portraits et Biographies”; “Histoire du Canada -depuis l’Union”; “Histoire du Canada depuis la Confederation”; “le -Drapeau de Carillon,” a patriotic drama; “Les Deux Papineau”; “Mes -Contemporains,” (memoirs); “Souvenirs et Biographies”; “Laurier et son -temps”; “Melanges Historiques et Litteraires”; “Le Clergé Canadien, sa -mission et son oeuvre,” and other works.

Originally a Conservative in politics he -left that party to join L’Union Nationale, in the sixties, an -organization formed to oppose Confederation. Later his ideas on that -subject mellowed and Confederation having become an accomplished fact, -he threw in his lot with the newly-formed Liberal party of Dorion, -Holton and Laflamme. His independence of spirit was shown, however, in -the fact that he favored the policy of protection for native industries -in opposition to his party friends. Because of his attitude on that -question he was obliged to discontinue the publication of the “Bien -Public.” From the first entry of Sir Wilfrid Laurier into politics he -became his friend, counsellor and supporter, and during the lifetime of -that statesman no living man enjoyed more of the confidence of the -Liberal chieftain. His entry into politics ante-dated that of his friend -by a few years for he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Quebec -Legislature in Hochelaga in 1867 and later in 1875. From 1886 to 1890 he -represented Montreal East in that body, when he voluntarily retired, -owing to differences with Hon. Honore Mercier, Liberal Leader in the -Legislature.

He is prominently -identified with welfare movements like the society for the Protection of -women and children, Quebec; and the Anti-Alcoholic League, Montreal.

His attachment to -the British flag as well as to the interests of his own people has been -the theme of many of his utterances.

He has published -three volumes of poems and one book of short stories. His literary work -is nearly all Irish in theme and inspiration; for he has never forgotten -the happy days he spent as a lad in the beautiful isle that holds the -enduring love of so many patriots, whose duties have called them far -from its shores. The growth of his fame as a lyric poet is the more -notable in that he is of modest, retiring nature and has never sought -publicity of any kind. Irish legend and Irish scenery are woven by him -into the most delicate and rhythmical verse—verse that is instinct with -music, and alive with lovely imagery. One tribute to him from the pen of -the late Joyce Kilmer, himself a poet of distinction and prior to his -death with the American troops at Chateau Thierry, the literary critic -of the New York “Times,” may be quoted. Of the poem “Fairy Anvils” which -appears in the volume entitled “Irish Lyrics and Ballads,” Kilmer wrote: -“Here is some genuine Celtic magic—a beautiful blend of melody and -fancy. It should be set to music—the words almost carry a tune with -them—and sung by John McCormack.” The same tribute could be paid to -many other lyrics by Father Dollard. He is a member of the Poetry -Society of America and of the Arts and Letters Club, Toronto. - - * * * * * - -=Robertson, Edward Blake=, Scotch origin, born at Lanark, Ont., February -27th, 1877; youngest son of Wm.

John= (Victoria, B.C.), son of Robert Oliver, of -Derbyshire, England, and Emma Lomas, his wife, of Staffordshire. Was -born on July 31, 1856, at Hartington, Derbyshire, England. In April, -1870, his parents, with eight children, of whom the subject of this -sketch was the eldest, left the Motherland, and eventually settled on a -farm in Wellington County, Ontario. There he worked on his father’s farm -in the summer and went to the woods in the winter, and, in his spare -time, picked up stone masonry. In 1877, the future premier set out for -Victoria B.C., with only a few dollars in his pocket and no particular -job in sight. Twenty-three years later he returned to the capital as a -member of the Legislature, and forty years afterwards he became head of -the Provincial Government. Shortly after going to British Columbia, Mr. -Oliver took up land in the Delta municipality, and to-day he is the -proprietor of one of the finest farms in the province. Mr. Oliver has -always evinced a genius for public service, and has always taken a keen -and intelligent interest in public questions. He had not been long in -the west before he was elected a member of the Delta Municipal Council, -and was later reeve for several terms. He was first elected to the -British Columbia Legislature at the general elections in 1900, and -re-elected in 1903 and 1907. At the general elections in 1909, as leader -of the Opposition, he contested two constituencies, Victoria and Delta, -and was defeated in both. A similar experience awaited him in 1911, and -again in the campaign in 1912. In 1916, upon the formation of the -Brewster cabinet, he was appointed Minister of Railways and Agriculture. -On the death of Premier Brewster, after one session in office, Mr. -Oliver was called upon by the Lieutenant-Governor to form a Government, -which he did, retaining his former portfolios, besides acting as -Premier. His reputation as a parliamentarian of the first rank was -firmly established by the part he played in the exposure of what was -known as the “Columbia and Western Railway Scandal.” He was chiefly -instrumental in having grants for some 650,000 acres of coal mining land -in the Kootenay district cancelled. Premier Oliver was married on June -20, 1886, to Elizabeth, daughter of William Woodward, of Mud Bay, -British Columbia. He is the father of the following children: Robert, -William Arthur, John Thomas, Charles Edward, Joseph, Elizabeth Alice, -Sarah Ellen, Mildred Emma. Premier Oliver has for years been known as -“Honest John,” and his long record for probity and fair dealing justly -entitles him to this distinction. Although somewhat handicapped in early -life by lack of scholastic training, the Premier was by nature a -student, and he became a wide reader. He is a man of rugged honesty, -industrious and aggressive, and enjoys a measure of public confidence -which is indicated by the title conferred upon him by the people of his -province. The Premier’s candour and courage are recognized as his -greatest assets, while his long association with public affairs and -foremost position in the Liberal party has made his name a household -word in British Columbia. The Premier possesses sufficient property, -acquired by his own industry, to make him independent of political -fortunes. He is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and picturesque -figures in Canadian public life. - - * * * * * - -=Ferguson, Hon.

His father was engaged in Lake -transportation and the subject of this sketch after an education at Port -Colborne public school and Welland High School, himself entered the same -calling. As a mere boy from 1890 to 1892 he ran his own boat, S.S. -Varuna on the Bay of Quinte.

During that time he has given over two -thousand addresses before churches, Canadian Clubs and municipal -organizations. His entry into the municipal life of Toronto, first as -alderman and then as Controller, was due to the adverse conditions -prevailing at that time in the Isolation Hospital and his desire to see -a thoroughly up-to-date and efficient Health Department established. -Outside authorities and those familiar with the situation have stated -that he was able to strongly interest and influence the Council in all -health and social problems, so that splendid progress was made during -the time that he was connected with that body.

In 1885 he was sent to England -to be educated at The School House, Beaconsfield, Bucks county. He -returned to Canada in 1893, and to Rat Portage, now Kenora; that town, -despite many prolonged absences, has ever since been his home.

Identifying himself with the -Conservative party, he was first elected to the Legislature in 1908, and -subsequently returned at the general elections of 1911 and 1914. From -early manhood he showed military enthusiasm, and went to South Africa in -1899 as a private in the 1st Canadian contingent under Col. (now Sir -William) Otter.

On the -completion of the work of the Military Service Council in 1918, Col. -Machin became Director of the Military Service Branch of the Department -of Justice, under arrangement with the Department of Militia and -Defence. Both as a legislator and a judicial officer, Col. Machin has -shown a fearlessness and ability in the expression of opinion that have -commended him to persons of independent mind, even when in disagreement -with him. He was one of the few men in the Ontario Legislature with the -moral courage to assail the defects of the Ontario Temperance Act, -though it was fathered by the government of which he is the elected -supporter. His strong utterances against a bigoted attitude toward the -French Canadians of Quebec and Roman Catholics in general, coming from a -Protestant of English descent and education, have also been widely -commended. On December 24, 1918, he was the recipient of an address and -silver rose bowl from the officials who served with him and under him as -Director of Military Service in the Department of Justice at Ottawa. -Their sentiments were voiced by Crown Attorney J.

L. Borden, Premier of Canada, is the son of the late -W. G. Perley, who represented Ottawa in the House of Commons from 1887 -to 1890, and was senior member of the well-known lumber firm of Perley & -Pattee. Sir George Perley was born at Lebanon, N.H., in 1857, but coming -to Ottawa in early youth, received his primary education at the old -Grammar School of that city, and later attended Harvard University, from -which he graduated in 1878 with the degree of B.A. In 1900 the present -Cabinet Minister contested the County of Russell unsuccessfully, and was -also unsuccessful in a by-election for the County of Argenteuil, held in -1902. Perseverence, however, and the ability which marked these -campaigns led to his return for the latter County at the General -Elections of 1904, since when he has been twice re-elected in 1908 and -1911. On the re-organization of the Conservative Party Executive, during -its last session in Opposition, Sir George Perley was chosen as Chief -Whip, in which capacity he showed such tact and ability as Mr. Borden’s -Chief Lieutenant, and also in directing the organization for the Ottawa -Valley District during the Reciprocity Campaign, that the latter, on his -accession to power, appointed him a Minister Without Portfolio. After -the death at an advanced age of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal in 1913, -Mr. Perley was sent to England to replace him, with the title of Acting -High Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada, a position which he has -since filled with such distinction as to earn for him the honor of -Knighthood. In the re-organization of the Department of Militia and -Defense, following the resignation of Sir Sam Hughes, Sir George became -the first Overseas Minister of that Department. He has been for years a -Director and Vice-President of a number of large lumber companies, and -is a Director of the Bank of Ottawa. Nowhere, however, has his executive -ability been more strikingly displayed than in his discharge of the -duties of Chairman of the Relief Committee in connection with the -disastrous fire of 1900 that devastated the cities of Ottawa and Hull. -Sir George Perley married Annie Hespeler Bowlby, daughter of the late W. -H. Bowlby, K.C., Kitchener, Ont., in 1884 (deceased, August, 1910); -secondly, Emily Colby White, daughter of the late Hon.

Edward Dodsley, M.P.P.=, Minister of Agriculture for the -Province of British Columbia, is one of those Canadians of English birth -who have risen to high position in their adopted country. He was born at -Ringwood, Hants, England, in 1867, the son of Stephen and Sarah (Barnes) -Barrow. His father was a farmer, and the subject of this sketch was -educated at the public schools of his native place. Coming to this -country, he settled at Chilliwack, B.C., and successfully engaged in -farming. He became widely known in his district, and at the general -elections for the legislature in 1916 he was induced to contest -Chilliwack as a Liberal candidate, and was elected. In 1918, Hon. John -Oliver, the present Prime Minister of British Columbia, on accepting -that office, relinquished the ministry of Agriculture, and asked Mr. -Barrow to enter his cabinet as administrator of that portfolio. Mr. -Barrow accepted, and his conduct of the office has brought much -satisfaction to the agricultural interests throughout the province. He -is a protestant in religion, a Liberal in politics, and a member of -Ionic Lodge, No. 19, A.F. & A.M. His favorite recreations are hunting -and fishing. In 1891, he married Millicent E., daughter of Thomas R. -Knight, contracting builder, of Wickham, Hants, England, and has two -daughters, Dorothy M. and Hilda G. Barrow. Though compelled by his -duties to spend much of his time at Victoria, B.C., Mr. Barrow’s home is -still at Chilliwack. - - * * * * * - -=Corrigan, Ambrose Eugene=, is the Managing Director of the Capital Life -Assurance Company, which he organized in 1912, and which, under his able -management, has made rapid advancement in the life assurance business in -Canada, and is now recognized as one of the best and most economically -conducted companies in the Dominion. In 1913, Mr. Corrigan organized the -Capital Trust Corporation, and, in 1914, he organized the Anglo-Colonial -Bureau, London, England. All of these enterprises were organized on a -remarkably firm basis and with much skill, and their success from the -start has more than met with the most sanguine expectation. All of them -are to-day in a flourishing condition, and are growing in both strength -and prestige as they grow older. In that part of western Ontario, now -known as Mount Forest, in the vicinity of Nottawasaga Bay and Lake -Huron, when prairie and forest lands and the adjacent water stretches -were the only attractions, there being no signs of habitation, and no -evidence that, in the near future, even a small settlement would be -established, in 1830, Mr. James Corrigan, the grandfather of the subject -of this sketch, arriving from Ireland, settled, and became the first -settler in that vicinity. With indomitable pluck and spirit -characteristic of his ancestors, he set to work to cultivate the soil, -to build up a home. The next settlers to arrive were the Martins, the -ancestors of Premier Martin of Saskatchewan, and then came others and -others, and more and more land was tilled and houses built until Mount -Forest became a flourishing agricultural and business centre. But it was -James Corrigan who set the ball rolling, and sounded the clarion call to -the others to follow. It was in Mount Forest, May 28, 1881, that Mr. -Ambrose Eugene Corrigan was born, and at the public and high schools -there received his first tuition, which was enlarged at the O.A.C., -Guelph, Toronto University, and the Ontario Normal School, Hamilton, -Ont. Starting out at the early age of 23 years, Mr. Corrigan, in 1904, -became the teacher of mathematics in the Elora High School. In 1905, he -became attached as a teacher to the Renfrew Collegiate Institute, and, -in 1906, we find him in full harness on the teaching staff of the Ottawa -Collegiate Institute. From 1907 to 1911, Mr. Corrigan was manager of the -Eastern Ontario Branch of the Confederation Life Assurance Company. Mr. -Ambrose Eugene Corrigan is the son of Michael and Ellen (Murphy) -Corrigan. In 1909, he married Rosemary Lunny, daughter of James Lunny, -of Smith’s Falls, Ontario. Five children—three boys and two girls—have -blessed the union. Mr. Corrigan is a Director of the Newman Club, -Toronto, of the Anglo-Colonial Bureau, London, England, and -Vice-President of the Capital Trust Corporation. He is a member of the -Laurentian and the Rivermead Golf Clubs, and of the Knights of Columbus. -Golf is Mr. Corrigan’s favorite recreation. In religion he is a Roman -Catholic. His business office is at 14 Metcalfe Street, and his -residence 301 Laurier Avenue East, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Daniels, Hon.

Was first elected to the Ontario Legislature -as the member for North York at the general elections in 1905. For years -North York was the stronghold of the Liberal Party and its final -redemption by Lieut.-Col. Lennox gave him an unique place in public -favor and a strong position in Provincial Politics. He was re-elected at -the general election in 1908, 1911 and 1914, and is to-day the most -popular man in the riding. A few years ago the member for North York -originated the “Lennox Picnic” which has been declared to be the biggest -affair of its kind in the world. Up at Jackson’s Point on the beautiful -shores of Lake Simcoe, his constituents and friends hold their annual -gathering of thirty thousand people. Each year the attendance grows -bigger and the people throng to it from all parts and it is now -recognized as being the most popular out-of-door festival of the year. -Lieut.-Col. Lennox has always taken a keen interest in sports of all -kinds, particularly lacrosse, and played the game himself.

The onerous work of recruiting began on the -17th day of March, 1915, and no finer body of men ever rallied to the -colors in so short a time. Men flocked to the standard of the popular -member for North York, and the battalion, which was known as the 208th -or “The Irish Fusiliers,” was accompanied overseas by Lieut.-Col. -Lennox, where they gave a splendid account of themselves. This battalion -had one of the finest brass and bugle bands in the Canadian forces and -also the fully equipped Brian Boru Irish War Pipe Band, the first of its -kind in Canada, made possible by the splendid generosity of Mrs. Ambrose -J. Small, of Toronto. Lieut.-Col. Lennox was married on June 5th, 1894, -to Louise, daughter of Edward Meeking, of Barrie, and has one son, -Herbert Sidney Lennox.

Lennox -enjoys a very wide popularity among his fellow legislators, and his -constituents in North York. He makes friends everywhere and retains them -by his personal magnetism.

Valentine, M.P.P.=, Minister of Agriculture for Manitoba, -is a public man who has been largely identified with the progress and -growth of that province. He was born at Neustadt, Grey County, Ont., on -March 18, 1864, the son of David and Barbara J. (Lang) Winkler. He was -educated at the public schools of his native village, and as a very -young man went to Manitoba in the days of its early development, -settling at Morden, where he became a farmer, and also engaged -extensively in the lumber business. His friends and neighbours induced -him to enter politics at an early age, and he entered the municipal -office, serving as reeve of Stanley. In 1892, the late Hon. Thomas -Greenway, for some years Premier of Manitoba, induced him to run for the -riding of Rhineland, now called Morden and Rhineland, as a Liberal, and -he was elected. He was re-elected at the general elections of 1896 and -also at those of 1899, though the latter contest resulted in the defeat -of his party in many constituencies. In 1900, he was induced by Sir -Clifford Sifton, then the Western leader in the Laurier administration, -to resign his seat in the Legislature, and contest the riding of Lisgar -for the House of Commons at the Federal elections of that year. In this -contest he was unsuccessful, but was immediately re-nominated for the -Legislature in his old constituency of Rhineland, and was returned at a -by-election on November 19, 1900, and has ever since continued to hold -that seat, despite the fact that from 1899 until 1915 his party -continued in opposition. The general elections of the latter year -brought the Liberals back to power, and one of the first acts of the new -Premier, Hon. Mr. Norris, was to send for Mr. Winkler and offer him the -portfolio of Agriculture in his government. Mr. Winkler accepted, and as -an administrator has shown himself thoroughly in touch with all -progressive movements for the benefit of the farming industry. He is -widely popular with both parties in the Legislature, of which he is the -oldest member in point of service. On March 31, 1886, he married -Josephine, daughter of M. B. Rombough, Dominion Land Surveyor, and has -four children, Howard W., Hazel F., Ruth W., and Josephine R. Winkler. -His address is the Parliament Buildings, Winnipeg, Manitoba. - - - - -[Illustration: MARSHAL VAUGHAN -Welland, Ontario] - - - - -=Champagne, Napoleon.= Controller Napoleon Champagne, barrister, many -years ago, became well known to the citizens of Ottawa.

On several occasions he was selected by the -Conservatives of Ottawa as their candidate for political honors in the -Federal Parliament, and on each occasion he made a gallant fight to -achieve success. When, in the early part of 1918, the famous Blue Devils -of France, those brave fellows who made themselves famous in many -battles during the terrible world war by their dare-devil conduct, -reached Ottawa, Controller Champagne was selected to receive and welcome -them. His address of welcome was one of the finest gems of oratory heard -during the war. Mr. Champagne is the son of Seraphin Champagne, grocer, -and Melina Duchene. His brother, Albert Champagne, is the member for -North Battleford, Saskatchewan, in the House of Commons. He was born in -Ottawa, May 4, 1861, and was educated in the Christian Brothers School. -He has been a frequent contributor to both English and French newspapers -and French magazines.

He was also a member of the following special committees: -Conduit, City Charter, Street Lighting, and Water Power. Controller -Champagne is a member of the Union St. Joseph Society and the Artisans -Canadiens Français. Mr. Champagne is a brilliant and successful lawyer, -and has distinguished himself in several important law cases, -particularly in two murder cases, in which his handling of the witnesses -and his ability in cross-examination created quite a stir, and placed -him in the front ranks of the legal profession in Ottawa. He practises -law in both provinces—Ontario and Quebec—and has a large clientele in -each. In 1911, Mr. Champagne was elected to the Ontario Legislature.

In -1917, when, owing to the serious circumstances that had arisen in Canada -and throughout the world resulting from the effects and requirements of -the terrible world war that was then raging it was found necessary to -cut out political party differences, and to have, politically and -otherwise, a united Canada in the conduct of Dominion political, -commercial, financial, and all public and private affairs, Mr. Sifton -consented to join Sir Robert Borden, the Prime Minister, in the -formation of a Union Government, and resigning his office as Prime -Minister of the Province of Alberta, was sworn in as Minister of Customs -in the Dominion Cabinet, which position he still holds. In 1918, Mr. -Sifton accompanied Sir Robert Borden to the Peace Conference at Paris -and Versailles, as one of the Canadian delegates to that memorable -assembly in whose hands was placed arrangements and terms for the -present and future peace of the world; and it is noteworthy to state -that while there he rendered distinguished services by his advice and -otherwise in the preparation and final agreement of terms that were -placed before the Teutonic nations to accept and sign.

His mother came from Wicklow, Ireland, and his -father, a native of Perthshire, Scotland, was one of the family which -won considerable distinction in Ontario. One of his brothers was -Vice-Chancellor of Ontario, and another was Rev. Dr. Proudfoot, a leader -of religious thought. The subject of this sketch was educated in the -Public and High Schools of Goderich, Ont.; and qualified for the law as -a student in the office of James (afterward Mr. Justice) Garrow, K.C., -and at Osgoode Hall.

In his younger days his partner, the late Mr. -Justice Garrow, was long an honored member of the Ontario Legislature, -and on the elevation of the latter to the bench, the Liberal party -naturally tendered the nomination to Mr. Proudfoot, who had already -rendered valuable municipal service as Reeve of Goderich town. He was -elected for the newly constituted riding of Centre Huron in 1908 and -re-elected at the general elections of 1911 and 1914. As a member of the -small band of Liberals sitting opposite to Sir James Whitney he soon -made his mark in debate and proved one of the most discerning and -aggressive critics of the Government, though giving his support to wise -measures. When in 1917 Hon. N. W. Rowell retired from the Leadership of -the Opposition to enter Federal politics Mr. Proudfoot was his logical -successor, a decision which was ratified by the Liberal caucus in Jan., -1918. The war being then in progress Mr. Proudfoot took the -statesmanlike position that there should be no party contests during the -duration of the conflict and agreed to support the Government in all -reasonable measures looking exclusively to the unification of the -country for the prosecution of the war. Nevertheless a large body of -independent support rallied to his support and the signing of the -armistice found him in a stronger position both in point of followers -and as a parliamentary leader than when he accepted office. In religion -he is a member of the Church of England and was married on June 23, -1886, to Marion F. Dickson. He has two children. Isobel, now the wife of -Lieutenant E. H.

Robert Stirton, M.P., M.B., C.M., LL.D.=, Minister of -Education for the Province of Manitoba, is one of the educational -leaders of Western Canada, though not a native of this country. He was -born at Edinburgh, Scotland, on May 8, 1863, the son of David and Mary -(Gavin) Thornton. His parents decided that he should adopt the career of -a physician, and after a good general education in his native city at -Heriot’s Hospital school, he entered Edinburgh University, and graduated -in 1884 with the degree of M.B., C.M. In the same year he came to -Canada, and commenced the practice of his profession at Deloraine, -Manitoba. He became well-known throughout the province, and, in 1896, -was elected President of the Manitoba Medical Council; and, later, -President of the Medical Council of Canada. Among other matters in which -he interested himself was that of horticulture, a neglected pursuit in -the western country, and became recognized as a pioneer horticulturist -of the prairies, and an inspiration to others to adopt such a hobby. He -became identified with the Liberal party, and, in 1907, was elected to -the Manitoba Legislature for Deloraine. Though defeated in 1910, he was -again elected in 1914, and also in the general elections of 1915, which -resulted in the overthrow of the Roblin administration. He had taken a -very strong stand against the indifference of the authorities to school -problems; and when Hon. Mr. Norris was called upon to form a government, -he entrusted to Dr. Thornton the portfolio of Education, which, under -the peculiar circumstances of the case, was perhaps the most important -within the Premier’s gift. In no section of the world is the problem of -education more difficult, owing to the great number of nationalities -represented in the numbers of unlettered immigrants that poured into -Manitoba in the years preceding the great war. With the problem of -making the children of these newcomers good Canadians, conversant with -the language and institutions of the land of their adoption, Dr. -Thornton grappled, in 1915, and three and a half years later it was the -testimony of the Winnipeg “Tribune,” that the change of government had -been worth while, if only for what had been accomplished in making the -schools of Manitoba Canadian. Before he became Minister of Education, -large numbers of the public schools were nondescript, and breeding -centres of foreign speech and ideals. In a determined and unflinching -way, Dr. Thornton put into action, through the machinery of the schools, -the ideals of true Canadianism, and for the first time enforced the law -with regard to an English education for every child of school age in -Manitoba. As a result of his policies, other western provinces have -followed his example, and many educationists of the western United -States look to Manitoba’s system of dealing with the foreign problem in -education as a model. Latterly, Dr. Thornton has taken a strong stand -against immigration of the old indiscriminate sort, and proclaims the -doctrine that anyone who comes to Canada must be prepared to shoulder -all the responsibilities, with the privileges, duties, and rights of -Canadian citizenship. By the many advocates of these new views he is -looked up to as a leader. In recognition of his services, Queen’s -University (Kingston) some time ago conferred on him the honorary degree -of LL.D. Dr. Thornton is a Presbyterian in religion, and a member of the -Masonic Order. On April 30, 1889, he married Mary, daughter of Robert -Johnston, Princeton, Ont., and has no children. He resides at Winnipeg -and at Deloraine, Manitoba. - - * * * * * - -=Bailey, Charles Frederick=, Agricultural Commissioner for the Province -of Ontario, is, singularly enough, a native of the Maritime Provinces. -He was born at Kentville, Nova Scotia, in 1880, and his mother, who -still survives, is now Mrs. P. Innes of that town. He was educated in -King’s County High School, Kentville, and had a practical insight into -agriculture as a lad on a Nova Scotia farm. In 1902 he resolved to -qualify himself on the scientific side of agriculture and entered -himself at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, Ont., which holds -a standard position throughout North America. From 1904 to 1907 he was -engaged largely in commercial work related to this basic interest of the -country’s prosperity and returned to the O.A.C. in the latter year. In -1909 he received from its affiliated Institution the University of -Toronto, the degree of Bachelor of Scientific Agriculture. At that time -the Ontario Department of Agriculture was looking about for expert young -men to carry on the work of agricultural instruction and development and -on receiving the above degree Mr. Bailey was in June, 1909, appointed -Live Stock Specialist for Ontario. He brought a great deal of enthusiasm -and knowledge to bear on his task and in 1912 was promoted to the post -of Assistant Deputy Minister of Agriculture by the late Hon. James Duff. -A few years later the office of Commissioner of Agriculture was created -in order to place a permanent official of expert knowledge in charge of -policies for the betterment of agriculture in this province. Mr. -Bailey’s grasp of all the problems of his subject is exceptional and he -holds a high reputation as an expert in other states and provinces. As a -young man he was a Captain in the King’s County (N.S.) Regiment, but has -always eschewed politics. In religion he is a member of the Church of -England, and some years ago married Louise D., daughter of David Hogg, -Perth, Ont. He has had three children, of whom one, a boy born in 1915, -survives. His address is 164 Walmer Road, Toronto. - - * * * * * - -=Dalley, Frederick Fenner=, President of the F. F.

The record of his -devotion to duty and his ability to do those duties that fell to his lot -will ever hold a prominent place in Canada’s military history. In 1863, -Major-General Sir Donald Alexander Macdonald first became a member of -the Canadian Militia when he joined the Rifle Company of Cornwall as -Ensign. In 1865 he became Lieutenant of the 59th Regiment, and in 1866 -Captain, in which capacity he served during the Fenian raids of 1866. In -1869 he became Adjutant, and in 1870 served in the Red River Expedition, -and was awarded a medal and two clasps. In 1871 he became Major, and in -1877 was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel. Then came in 1885 the -North-West Rebellion, in which he distinguished himself, and was awarded -a medal. In 1900 he was promoted to Colonelcy, and, having for some time -been Chief Superintendent of Military Stores, in 1903 was appointed -Director-General of Ordnance for Canada, and received the honour of -I.S.O. In 1904 he was appointed Quartermaster-General of the Canadian -Militia. In 1908 he was promoted to Brigadier-General, and in that year -received his C.M.G., for his services in equipping the South African -Contingent. In 1912 he was made a Major-General, and in January, 1918, -was knighted by His Majesty King George V. In addition to the other -distinctions that were accorded him, Sir D. A. Macdonald holds the Long -Service Decoration and the honour of being the third military member of -the Militia Council. Major-General Sir Donald Alexander Macdonald is the -son of the late Alexander Eugene Macdonald, Deputy Clerk of the Crown -and Registrar of the Surrogate Court of Cornwall, Ontario, and was born -October 31, 1845, in Cornwall, and educated at the County High School. -In 1876 he married Mary, the second daughter of Hon. Justice Hugh -Richardson, formerly of the Superior and Supreme Court of the Canadian -North-West Territories. He has one daughter, the wife of Lt.-Colonel C. -L. Panet, Secretary of the Department of Militia and Defence. He resides -at the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. - - * * * * * - -=Davidson, William McCartney, M.P.P.= (of Calgary), is one of the -leading editors and public men of Alberta. He was born at Hillier, -Prince Edward County, Ontario, on November 12, 1872, the son of James C. -Davidson, a farmer, and Sarah McCartney Davidson, and was educated at -the public school of his district, Picton High School, St. Catharines -Collegiate Institute, and the University of Toronto. From the latter -institution he graduated in June, 1893, with the degree of B.A., and -decided to enter newspaper work. His first experience was as a reporter -on the staff of the Toronto “World” under W. F. Maclean, M.P. A year -later he was invited to join the staff of the Toronto “Star,” then in -the early stages of its career, and shortly afterward became its -representative in the press gallery of the Ontario Legislature. Mr. -Davidson showed a grasp of public issues beyond the ordinary, and during -the seven years he remained with the “Star” made its legislative reports -a definite feature of the newspaper. In 1901 the Canadian West was just -on the verge of the tremendous development which has marked the first -two decades of this century, and Mr. Davidson resolved to try his -fortunes there. In 1902 he established himself at Calgary, then a town -of about 3,000 inhabitants, and founded the “Morning Albertan.” From -comparatively humble beginnings it has developed into one of the most -widely known newspapers in Canada. Throughout its career Mr. Davidson -has retained the position of editor-in-chief and proprietor. He soon -became prominently identified with the Liberal party in the province, -and at the Alberta general elections of 1917 was elected to the -Legislature for the riding of North Calgary. Few members of that body -have as deep a knowledge of public questions and of parliamentary -procedure. Mr. Davidson has travelled extensively, and one of his -favorite pastimes is mountain-climbing. He is a member of St. Andrews -Golf Club, of the A.F. & A.M., and the I.O.F. He is a Senator of the -University of Alberta, and a Presbyterian in religion. He has been twice -married: first, on June 6, 1899, to Christiana Constance Robertson, -daughter of Rev. James Robertson, D.D., of Toronto, Superintendent of -Missions for the Presbyterian Church of Canada. She died in March, 1904, -and on September 10, 1913, Mr. Davidson married Ethel M. Heydon, -daughter of George Heydon, of Yarmouth Centre, Ontario. He has three -children, James R., William M., and Marian C. R. Davidson. - - * * * * * - -=Parent, Hon. Simon Napoleon, K.C.=, who was Chairman of the National -Transcontinental Railway Commission from 1905 to 1911, is the son of -Simon Polycarpe and Luce (Belanger) Parent, of Beauport, Quebec, and was -born there September 12, 1855. His education was had at the Quebec -Normal School and Laval University, and between 1881 and 1902 he was -awarded the following degrees and honours: Laval University, LL.L., with -Lorne Gold Medal and Tessier Prize, 1881; LL.D., 1902; D.C.L. (Hon.), -Bishop’s College University, Lennoxville, 1902. In 1881 Mr. Parent was -called to the Bar, and was created K.C. in 1899. In October, 1877, he -married Marie Louise Clara, daughter of the late Ambroise Gendron. Four -sons and four daughters have blessed the union. At present Mr. Parent is -President of the Quebec Streams Commission for the Province of Quebec. -When admitted to the Bar, Mr. Parent successfully practised his -profession in the city of Quebec, and from the start was looked upon as -a practical man and a good and reliable lawyer. He served as an alderman -in the Quebec City Council from 1890 to 1904, and was Mayor of the city -from 1894 to 1905, during which time he built the new City Hall. Largely -through his perseverance and energetic work, the splendid Quebec Bridge -was built, and it was he who originated the park at St. Roch, between -St. Roch and St. Sauveur. Quebec city streets were improved and the -finances of the city placed on a better footing. Mr. Parent sat in the -local legislature for St. Sauveur in the Liberal interest from 1890 to -1905, and served in the Marchand administration as Commissioner of Crown -Lands, Mines and Forests from 1897 to 1900. On Mr. Marchand’s death in -the latter year, Mr. Parent was called upon to succeed him as Prime -Minister of the Province, and held that position up to 1905, when he -resigned at the request of the Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier to accept -the position of Chairman of the National Transcontinental Railway -Commission, with headquarters at Ottawa, which Commission had charge and -control of the construction of the Eastern Division of the -Transcontinental Railway, extending from the city of Moncton, N.B., in -the east to the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the west, and the -operation thereof until completed and leased to the Grand Trunk Pacific -Railway Company. Mr. Parent was President of the Quebec Bridge Company -from 1897 to 1908, was formerly a director of the Quebec Railway, Light -and Power Company and the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway. During his -whole public career, Mr. Parent has held the reputation for being an -honest and able man; as one of the most industrious administrators of -modern times; as a man of decision, business and legal ability, and rare -enterprise in public matters; unassuming, courteous, and practical. A -Roman Catholic in religion, Mr. Parent has ever been a staunch Liberal, -and one of the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s best and most influential -supporters. He is a member of the Rideau, Laurentian, and Ottawa Hunt -Clubs in Ottawa, and of the Garrison Club, Quebec. His Ottawa residence -is at 485 King Edward Avenue. - - * * * * * - -=Rutherford, John Gunion, C.M.G., V.S.=, Ottawa, Honorary Associate of -the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Commissioner, Board of Railway -Commissioners for Canada (Ottawa, Ont.) born at Mountain Cross, -Peeblesshire, Scotland, on December 25, 1857, son of Rev. Robert -Rutherford, M.A., and his wife Agnes Gunion. In 1887, he married Edith, -daughter of Washington Boultbee, of Ancaster, Ont., by whom he has three -daughters. He was educated at the High School of Glasgow, and later -spent several years in the practical study of agriculture in the -counties of East Lothian and Selkirk. Coming to Canada at the age of -seventeen, he attended the Ontario Agricultural College in 1875 and -1876, being one of the earliest students at that institution, and later -gained valuable practical experience in agriculture on the famous Bow -Park Farm at Brantford, Ontario. In 1879 he graduated from the Ontario -Veterinary College with honors, winning the gold medal for the best -general examination, and numerous other prizes. He practised veterinary -medicine for several years in Ontario, the United States and Mexico, and -returning to Canada in 1884, settled at Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, -where he engaged in general practice and horse breeding operations. He -served as Veterinary Officer with the North-West Field Force under -General Middleton during the Riel rebellion in 1885, and holds medal and -clasp for that campaign. During his residence in Portage la Prairie he -was for several years President of the Horse Breeders’ Association of -Manitoba and the North-West Territories; President of the Manitoba -Veterinary Association; President of the Manitoba and Lakeside -Agricultural Society; the Island Park Racing Association, and the St. -Andrew’s Society of Portage la Prairie. In 1884 he was appointed -Veterinary Inspector for the Manitoba Government, an appointment which -he held until 1892, when he was elected to represent the constituency of -Lakeside (Portage Plains) in the Manitoba Legislature, in which body he -was Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture. He was re-elected by -acclamation in 1896, but after one session resigned to enter Dominion -politics as representative for the constituency of Macdonald, which then -comprised over one-sixth of the province of Manitoba. He sat as member -for this constituency in the Dominion House until 1900, and in 1901 went -to Great Britain as special Quarantine Officer for the Canadian -Department of Agriculture. In 1902, he was appointed Chief Veterinary -Inspector, and in 1904, after organizing the Health of Animals Branch, -he became Veterinary Director-General. In 1906, he also took over the -office of Live Stock Commissioner, and in the same and the succeeding -year organized the present Meat and Canned Foods Inspection Service. -During his tenure of office many original and radical departures were -made in connection with the control and eradication of contagious -diseases among the live stock of the Dominion, the results achieved -being eminently satisfactory. Under his direction, the work of the Live -Stock Branch was very considerably extended, and brought into close -correlation with that of the Health of Animals Branch, joint supervision -over the work of both branches being in a number of cases exercised by -the same officers, especially in those provinces farthest from Ottawa. -In 1908, he went twice to Rome as delegate for Canada to the -International Institute of Agriculture, and in the same year was -appointed to represent the Dominion at the International Congress on -Tuberculosis at Washington, D.C. He was President of the American -Veterinary Medical Association in 1908-09, and Chairman since its -inception of the International Commission on the Control of Bovine -Tuberculosis. He was for several years President of the St. Andrews -Society of Ottawa, and from 1909 to 1911 President of the Civil Service -Association of Canada. He was created a C.M.G. in 1910. In May, 1911, he -resigned from the Dominion service, but at the request of the Government -retained office until March, 1912. Immediately thereafter, he was -engaged by Lord Shaughnessy, then President of the Canadian Pacific -Railway Company, to undertake a campaign for the general development of -the live stock industry and the encouragement of mixed farming in the -three prairie provinces. In the organization of the campaign he found it -advisable to co-ordinate this special work with that of the Company’s -Department of Natural Resources at Calgary, Alberta, and in the -following spring (1913) he was appointed Superintendent of Agriculture -and Animal Industry, a position involving full responsibility for all -the agricultural operations of the Company, including the educational -and experimental activities in connection with its irrigation projects -in Alberta. From 1913 to 1919, he was President of the Western Canada -Live Stock Union, an organization in the creation of which he was -largely instrumental, and which comprises in its membership all live -stock associations and other bodies interested in the production of live -stock in the four Western Provinces. In December, 1918, his portrait in -oils was added by the live stock men of Canada to the collection of -similar pictures of live stock celebrities in the Saddle and Sirloin -Club of Chicago. He was a member of the Dominion Economic and -Development Commission, as also a member of the Saskatchewan Royal Live -Stock Commission, and has since its inception been Chairman of the Joint -Committee on Commerce and Agriculture. While resident in Alberta he was -Vice-Chairman of the Provincial Board of Agricultural Education, as also -President of the Alberta Thoroughbred Horse Breeders’ Association, -besides holding office in numerous other live stock and kindred -organizations. He has had exceptional opportunities of acquiring a -practical knowledge of Canadian agriculture, having actually farmed, -more or less extensively, in every province of the Dominion except -Prince Edward Island, his own farm being situated in the Chilliwack -Valley in British Columbia. He was appointed to the Board of Railway -Commissioners for Canada in November, 1918, and assumed office in -February, 1919. Dr. Rutherford is a member of the following clubs: -Ranchmen’s (Calgary), Rideau (Ottawa), University Club (Ottawa), Royal -Ottawa Golf Club (Ottawa), and his home address is 218 MacLaren Street, -Ottawa, Ont. - - * * * * * - -=Breithaupt, John C.=, of Kitchener, Ont., is one of the most widely -known business men of Canada, and has been particularly identified with -the leather industry. He was born at Buffalo, N.Y., on February 27, -1859, the son of the late Louis and Catherine (Hailer) Breithaupt; but -his parents removed to Kitchener, then known as Berlin, Ont., when he -was very young. He was educated in the public and high schools of that -thriving manufacturing city and later at the North-Western College, -Naperville, Ill., of which despite his Canadian citizenship, he has in -later life been a Trustee for upwards of twenty years. In Berlin, Ont., -he became associated in the tanning business of his father, which of -late years has grown to great dimensions. He is Secretary of the -Breithaupt Leather Company, Ltd., with tanneries at Kitchener, -Penetanguishene and Woodstock, Ont., and President of the Hastings -Tannery Company, Ltd., with head office at Kitchener and tannery at -Hastings, Ont. In addition to his widespread commercial interests Mr. -Breithaupt has shown unselfish activity in public affairs. While his -city was still known as Berlin he was a member of the Municipal Council -for six years, first as Councillor, then as Reeve, and later, in 1896-7, -as Mayor. He has been a member of the Board of Water Commissioners of -the city since 1899 continuously, and Chairman for every year of that -period but one. He held the office of President of the Local Board of -Trade for a term, and is also a member of the Toronto Board of Trade, -with which he has been connected since 1891. In all municipal movements -for the betterment of civic government he has been a leader, and his -voice has frequently been heard in the cause of progress in the province -at large. He was President of the Berlin and Waterloo Hospital for -several years and takes a deep interest in religious matters. He is a -member of the Evangelical Association, and has been a member of various -Boards and Commissions of the Church, having been delegate to the -General Conference in 1911 and again elected in 1919 in a similar -capacity. He is a member of the following clubs: Lancaster, Grand River -County and Golf, and Ontario Club (Toronto). In 1892 he married Caroline -C., eldest daughter of the late J. S. Anthes, furniture manufacturer of -Kitchener, and has six children: John Edward, chemical engineer of the -various Breithaupt tanneries; Louise Catherine, Carl Louis, who early in -1919 returned from overseas after two years’ service with the Canadian -Engineers in France; Freida Caroline, Walter Hailer, and Helena Esther -Breithaupt. - - * * * * * - -=Cronyn, Hume, M.P.=, who represents the city of London, Ont., in the -House of Commons, was born in London on August 28th, 1864, the son of -Verschoyle Cronyn, LL.B., K.C., and Sophy Cronyn. The latter was a -daughter of the late Hon. William Hume Blake, and a sister of the late -Hon. Edward Blake, formerly leader of the Liberal party in the Canadian -House of Commons, and later one of the ornaments of the British House of -Commons as member for Longford, Ireland. The subject of this sketch was -educated at Dr. Tassie’s famous grammar school, Galt, Ont., and at -Toronto University, from which he graduated with the degree of B.A. He -qualified for the law, and in 1889 received the degree of LL.B. from the -same institution, and in that year was called to the Bar. He at once -commenced the practice of law at London, and continued therein for the -next eighteen years. In 1907 he gave up practice to take up the post of -General Manager of The Huron and Erie Mortgage Corporation, a position -he still holds in combination with the office of Vice-President. He is -also General Manager of the Canada Trust Company, London, and a Director -of the Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada. Though long identified -with the Liberal party, both from conviction and family association, Mr. -Cronyn always declined public honors until the political crisis -attendant on the adoption of the policy of conscription by Sir Robert -Borden arose in 1917. Mr. Cronyn was one of many Ontario Liberals who -decided to support the Prime Minister in forming a Union Government to -carry out that policy, and when the general elections were announced on -this issue, accepted the nomination as a Unionist candidate for the -riding of London. The Laurier Liberals decided to make London one of the -chief arenas of their battle against conscription, by nominating Mr. -George S. Gibbons who had also been prominent in the politics of that -city. After one of the most hotly contested campaigns of that momentous -election, Mr. Cronyn was elected by a majority of over 4,000. In his -younger days, he had been prominent in military circles; while a student -at Toronto University he had enlisted in the Queen’s Own Rifles and -served with that famous regiment in the North-West Rebellion of 1885, -taking part in the engagement of Cut Knife Creek, for which he holds the -medal and clasp. On returning to London, he joined the 7th Fusiliers, -and served as Major in that battalion from 1899 to 1907, when he -retired. During the late war he was active in promoting all patriotic -causes. He is a member of the following clubs: London; London Hunt and -Country; Toronto; Rideau (Ottawa); Royal Societies and the Zeta Psi -fraternity. In religion he is an Anglican, and on September 6, 1892, -married Frances A., second daughter of John Labatt, of London. He has -three sons and two daughters, and his residence is at 580 Dundas Street, -London, Ont. - - - - -[Illustration: COL. H. A. C. MACHIN -Kenora] - - - - -=Davis, Albert Mayno=, President of the McAuliffe-Davis Lumber Company, -Limited, lumber manufacturers and dealers, with head office on Duke -Street, Ottawa, and a capital of $300,000, has been in the lumber -business in Ottawa for over twenty years, first with the Export Lumber -Company, later as manager of the Chaudiere Lumber Company, and for seven -years as manager of the McAuliffe-Davis Lumber Company, Limited, of -which he is now President. Mr. Davis is not only recognized as one of -the leading retail lumbermen of eastern Ontario, and one with entire -knowledge of trade conditions in Ottawa and throughout the valley, but -is known to be one of the leaders among the younger business element in -the city. In the Company, Mr. Davis has associated with him Mr. W. Allen -Taft, Jr., of Boston, Vice-President, who is also President of the -Export Lumber Company; Mr. W. J. Armstrong, Secretary-Treasurer; and the -following constitute the Board of Directors: Messrs. Albert Mayno Davis, -W. H. McAuliffe, George I. Dewar, W. A. Taft, and W. Allen Taft. Mr. -Albert Mayno Davis is the son of C. W. Davis, Burlington, Vermont, and -Jennie Taft, of the same place, and was born at Burlington, October 3, -1878. He was educated at the Burlington High School and the University -of Vermont. June 23, 1903, he married Adele Sylvain, daughter of L. P. -Sylvain, of Ottawa, Chief Clerk in the Library of Parliament, with which -he has been connected since 1878. Two daughters and one son—Margaret, -Philip, and Adele—add joy and lustre to the home. Mr. Davis is a member -of the Laurentian, Royal Ottawa, Rivermead and Rideau Tennis Clubs. His -recreations may be classified as outdoor sports. His residence is at 24 -Clemow Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. - - * * * * * - -=Bâby, Wolstan Alexander Dixie=, Collector of Inland Revenue for the -Division of Hamilton (Ontario), is one of the most widely known and -respected of Federal Government officials. Moreover, he comes of one of -the oldest of all Canadian families and his ancestry dates back almost -to the beginnings of white settlement on the continent of North America. -He is the son of the late William Duperon Bâby, attorney-at-law and -sheriff of the County of Essex, Ont., and Christina Jane Wilson, -daughter of Captain John Wilson, of H.M. Canadian Militia, Amherstburg, -Ont., and was born at Sandwich, Ont., on April 13, 1858. As a matter of -record it is important to say something of the ancestry and family -history of Mr. Bâby. His forefathers came from France in the earlier -years of French settlement, and settled at Fort Detroit in what is now -the State of Michigan, but then part of the French domain of Canada. -Later they moved across the Detroit River, and took up land in what is -now the town of Sandwich, Ont. The founders of the family on this -continent were Jacques Bâby de Rainville and his wife, Isabeau Robin, of -Monteton, in the Bishopric of Agen, France. Jacques was an officer in -the famous Carignan Regiment and with it came to America in the -seventeenth century. Subsequently, in 1670, he was married a second time -to Jehanne Dandonneau de Sables, of which union were born nine children. -The eldest grandson of this couple was Hon. Jacques Duperon Bâby, who -was born in 1731, and lived until 1796. While he was still a young man, -the British conquest of Canada occurred, and Detroit falling into -British hands in 1760, Jacques Duperon Bâby and his wife, Suzanne de la -Croix Rheaume (who lived until 1812), became British subjects. In all -they had twenty-two children. The name of Hon. Jacques Duperon Bâby is -intimately interwoven with the history of the Essex peninsula. He played -a prominent part in the defence of the Detroit district during the -conspiracy of the Indian chieftain, Pontiac, in 1760. He was a man of -great worth and integrity, who enjoyed the confidence alike of the -French, English, and Indian population, and consequently was able to be -of great assistance to the British government in the establishment of -the new regime. Hon. Jacques Duperon Bâby was the eldest of his many -children. He was born in 1762 and died in 1833, and held positions of -honour and influence in the young colony of Upper Canada. Jean Baptiste -Bâby, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was a younger brother, -and served as Treasurer of the newly-organized County of Essex. Two -other brothers entered the British army, one, Daniel, rising to the rank -of Major-General; while four of his sisters married British officers, -one of whom was Lord Bellingham. The eldest son of Jean Baptiste Bâby -was William Duperon Bâby, afterward sheriff of Essex, born at Sandwich -in 1819; and the subject of this sketch was William’s sixth child. Since -most of the various generations had large families, the Bâby family -connection in Western Ontario, and indeed throughout America is -literally enormous, and all have preserved the high tradition of -“noblesse oblige.” Mr. Dixie Bâby was educated at the Separate Schools -and at Assumption College, Sandwich, Ont., and at the Christian -Brothers’ School, Toronto, in 1876. At the age of eighteen he was -appointed to the Inland Revenue service, and detailed to Rae’s -distillery as assistant officer to the late Pierre Ramon. He qualified -himself so well as a vigilant watcher of the government interests in -connection with the important revenue derived from excise that he has -since served in many parts of Canada, including Paris, Woodstock, St. -Catharines, Belleville, Brantford, Portage la Prairie, and -Berthierville, Que. He was first stationed at Hamilton in 1886 as second -officer to the late William Donaghy, and in 1890 transferred to -Berthierville. In 1892 he went back to the Hamilton distillery, and was -appointed officer in charge in October, 1898. On November 21, 1914, he -was appointed Collector of Inland Revenue in charge of the entire -Hamilton division. His duties have always been of a character which -required expert knowledge as well as rigid probity, and during his -forty-three years’ service he has won the unfailing confidence of the -Department, no matter which party was in power. In December, 1880, he -married Mary McDougall, of Belleville, Ont., who was born April 7, 1861. -He has had seven children: Christina Caroline, deceased; Julia Fortier -and Mary Louisa (twins, also deceased); Frances Jeanette, wife of Henri -Bâby, notary public, Lachine, Que.; John Dixie; George Raymond; and -Madeline Cecilia. Capt. George Raymond Bâby, M.D., C.M., who was born at -Berthierville on April 1, 1892, went to France with the McGill -University 1915 unit, Canadian Army Medical Corps, and was awarded the -Military Cross for bravery and devotion to duty during the great British -advance which began August 8, 1918, and only ended when the armistice -was signed. The other son, John Dixie Bâby, is a civil engineer by -profession, who assisted in building the Canton Hankow Railway, China. - - * * * * * - -=Bell, Hon. George Alexander=, Chairman of the Local Government Board -for the Province of Saskatchewan, is one of the pubic administrators of -the Canadian West, and in an unusual degree the architect of his own -fortunes. He was born on a farm in Brant County, Ontario, on August 3, -1856, the son of David and Agnes (Melrose) Bell. He was educated in the -public schools of Huron County, and continued on the farm until he was -twenty years old, after which he learned the trade of blacksmith, which -he followed for the next twelve years, four in Ontario and eight in -Manitoba. He moved to the latter province in 1880 on the opening up of -that province by the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1888 he engaged in the -agricultural implement business as agent for the Massey-Harris Company, -and continued therein for the next thirteen years. In 1903, because of -his exceptional knowledge of the country he was appointed by the -Dominion Government Homestead Inspector for the Land District of -Estevan, Saskatchewan, a position he resigned in 1908 to become a -candidate for the Saskatchewan Legislature, and was elected as a -supporter of the Liberal administration of Hon. Walter Scott. He was -re-elected for Estevan in 1912, and called to the Cabinet and sworn in -as Provincial Treasurer on August 19 of that year. The Government had -established a system of Government-owned telephones, and this portfolio -was shortly combined with his duties as Treasurer. In his second -capacity of Minister of Telephones he was sworn in February, 1913, and -continued to administer both offices until May, 1918, when he resigned -from the Cabinet and Legislature to accept the post of Chairman of the -Local Government Board, an important office, for which his -administrative capacity and thorough knowledge of Western conditions -eminently fit him. Mr. Bell is a Liberal in politics, and a Presbyterian -in religion. He is a member of the Wascana Country Club, Regina (his -favorite recreation being golf), and of the following societies: A.F. & -A.M., I.O.O.F., and C.O.F. On December 6, 1883, he married Elizabeth, -daughter of Johnston and Rachel (Cosgrove) Smith, of Elmwood, Bruce -County, Ont., and has seven children, George Melrose, Ella Mabel, -Gordon, Ethel, Grace Agnes, Lorne David, and Harold Alexander Bell. Mr. -and Mrs. Bell reside at Regina, Sask. - - * * * * * - -=Martin, Hon. William Melville, K.C.=, Prime Minister of Saskatchewan, -is a native of the village of Norwich, Oxford County, Ont. He was born -on August 23, 1877, the son of Rev. William M. and Christina (Jamieson) -Martin, both his parents being natives of Scotland. While he was very -young his parents removed to Exeter in Huron County, where his father -served as Minister of the Presbyterian Church for twenty-six years. The -subject of this sketch was educated at Exeter Public School, Clinton -Collegiate Institute, and the University of Toronto, from which -institution he graduated with the degree of B.A. and honors in classics. -He also attended the Ontario School of Pedagogy to qualify as a High -School teacher, and subsequently acted as Classical Master at Harriston -High School for two years, 1899-1901. This however he regarded but as a -stepping-stone to the practice of law for which he qualified at Osgoode -Hall, Toronto. On being called to the bar he went to Regina, -Saskatchewan, and commenced practice in July, 1903. He developed great -talent not only as a lawyer but as a public speaker, and soon became -prominent in the Liberal party. In 1906 he was offered the Liberal -nomination for the House of Commons, for the old riding of Western -Assiniboia, in succession to Hon. Walter Scott (who had resigned his -Ottawa seat to become the first Prime Minister of the newly organized -province of Saskatchewan), but declined. At the general elections of -1908, however, he yielded to the requests of his friends and accepted -nomination, being elected by a majority of 708. At the general elections -of 1911, despite the fact that the Liberal party as a whole met defeat, -he was elected by the increased majority of 1,730. In all he sat in the -House of Commons at Ottawa for eight years and although one of its -youngest members was regarded as one of the most brilliant. In 1916 Hon. -Walter Scott was obliged to resign the Premiership of Saskatchewan owing -to ill health and Mr. Martin’s party friends in the West urged that he -resign from Federal politics and accept the Premiership. He assented and -at a by-election on November 13, 1916, was returned for Mr. Scott’s -seat, Regina City, by acclamation. He reorganized the cabinet and framed -a programme of progressive legislation which proved so acceptable to the -electorate that at the general election of 1917 his administration was -sustained by a very handsome majority. In addition to the offices of -Prime Minister and President of the Council he administers the -portfolios of Minister of Education and Minister of Railways. His -educational reforms, covering as they do many problems of extreme -moment, have been very important, and have attracted wide attention -throughout Canada, and in the United States as well. Generally speaking -Saskatchewan legislation under his regime has won fame for progress and -effectiveness. So widespread is his reputation that on the death of Sir -Wilfrid Laurier, early in 1919, many, both in the East and West, -suggested him as the best available successor to the Federal Liberal -leadership. Many of his friends still predict a Federal career for him, -although Mr. Martin himself prefers to see his own programme of -legislation for Saskatchewan carried out before aspiring to a wider -arena. He is a Presbyterian in religion and a member of the Wascana -Country Club and the Assiniboia Club. On Sept. 26, 1906, he married -Violet Florence, daughter of the late Walter Thomson of Mitchell, Ont., -and has two sons, Walter M. and Douglas Martin. His home is at 2042 -Cornwall St., Regina, Sask. - - * * * * * - -=Henry, David Edouard=, founder of Henry’s Shorthand School, 209 Sparks -Street, Ottawa, on January 2, 1913, was born at Clarence Creek, Russell -County, Ontario, April 24, 1874, his parents being Jacques Henry, a -farmer, and Aurelie Laviolette. He was educated in Ottawa at the Grey -Nuns’ Convent and the Christian Brothers’ School. Building it on a sure -foundation—according to the laws of economics, well equipped, and -capably managed by experts—Mr. Henry made his school an enviable -success. At the opening in 1913, the school was located at the corner of -Bank and Gloucester Streets, and within three months, having outgrown -its original premises it was removed to its present premises on the -corner of Sparks and Bank Streets—the Capital’s busy corner—which from -time to time have been enlarged as the requirements of increased -attendance demanded until to-day they are some five times the original -size, and are likely to be enlarged still further at an early date, -although his school is to-day the largest in Eastern Ontario. When the -school was transferred from the corner of Bank and Gloucester Streets to -the corner of Bank and Sparks, Mr. Henry had but 40 day pupils. In 1918, -the number had increased to 562, which students are to-day holding good -positions in the Dominion Government offices, manufacturing and -wholesale establishments, banking houses, etc., all of which bears -tribute to the high standard of efficiency of the school. For eleven -years before Mr. Henry went into business for himself, he was in charge -of the shorthand department of the Willis Business College in Ottawa, -when S. T. Willis was proprietor. In his school, his staff consists of -experts in shorthand, typewriting, business penmanship, practical -English, spelling, punctuation, transcription, correspondence, etc., -etc., and those who receive instruction in any one of these receive the -best that can be had. At the age of 16 years, Mr. Henry was awarded a -Fourth Form Certificate and honours for composition, spelling and -penmanship. He acquired a systematic course of self-instruction, studied -shorthand (French system) and afterwards English, and made himself -proficient in the Isaac Pitman, Ben Pitman, Graham, Munson, -Scott-Browne, Beale, Calligraphy (a Canadian production), and the Gregg -systems. He studied French, English, German, Greek and Latin, and -received special study in penmanship at the Zanerian College, Columbus, -Ohio. To acquire a practical business education, he had experience as -stenographer and bookkeeper with big business firms such as Perkins & -Fraser, barristers; Alexander Mutchmor, auditor, etc. From 1894 to 1896, -Mr. Henry made a special study of scientific methods for imparting -shorthand and typewriting, and during 1895-6 taught shorthand at the -Capital City Business College, at Ottawa, and had charge of the Y.M.C.A. -classes for several months. In 1896, he attended the Rochester, New -York, Business Institute, to acquire a greater qualification for -teaching, and, in 1899, established a shorthand school, which later he -closed to join the staff of the Metropolitan Business College at Ottawa. -For two years, he attended Rev. Dr. McMeekin’s “Ottawa College of -Oratory,” and gave several successful recitals in the Albert Hall. In -1899, Mr. Henry corrected a text book on Pitman’s shorthand for Messrs. -Powers and Lyons, of Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Henry is a graduate of the -New York College of Phonography; the Phonographic Institute, Cincinnati, -Ohio; and is the only personal graduate in Canada of the well known -Gregg School of Chicago. He holds the Scott-Browne’s Certificate. In his -examination for the Phonographic Institute Teacher’s Certificate, he -made the highest record, viz., 97.2 per cent., thereby defeating more -than 700 candidates. Mr. Henry is a member of the Gregg Shorthand -Association of America, and is the author of two standard works in -shorthand. Mr. Henry is a Roman Catholic in religion, a Liberal in -politics, and, for recreation, spends his time motoring. He resides at -205 O’Connor Street, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Gibbon, Arthur Playford=, Principal of the Central Business College, -Hamilton, Ont., is one of Canada’s leading commercial educationists. He -was born on April 7, 1871, in a log house in the township of Nichol, -Wellington County, Ont., the son of William and Susan (Reynolds) Gibbon. -His early education was received in the rural school of his section, and -later he walked four miles night and morning to attend the High School -and Model School at Elora. From January, 1892, to July, 1894, he taught -in rural ungraded schools, after which he returned to the farm for five -years to care for his father and mother. Deciding to equip himself as a -commercial teacher he took a course at Stratford Business College, and -after graduation taught in that institution for six months. In 1901, he -went to Woodstock, Ont., to take the post of junior commercial teacher, -and after one year became senior in these subjects. In 1904, he became -Principal, and under his guidance built up the institution into one of -the most important of its kind in Western Ontario. In Woodstock he also -took an active part in public and business affairs. He acted as auditor -for several large commercial houses, and sat in the municipal council as -alderman. In the latter capacity his business acumen and sound judgment -made him one of the most useful of public servants. His faculty for -acquiring knowledge of every detail of civic business made him very -valuable in the consideration of measures for the city’s welfare, so -that when in August, 1909, he decided to leave Woodstock, expressions of -regret were universal. In Woodstock, also, he became very active in the -temperance cause, and served as Secretary-Treasurer of the North Oxford -Prohibition Association. As Treasurer of the local branch of the -Y.M.C.A., he rendered very important service in connection with the -erection of new buildings, and he was very prominent in church work as a -member of the Methodist body. In 1909, he sold his interest in Woodstock -Business College, and bought Clark’s Business College at Hamilton, Ont. -When he took charge on January 1, 1910, the attendance at the -institution was but 34 day and 28 night students. He changed the name to -the Central Business College, and within a few years his powers of -organization had built up the attendance to five times the original -figure. Mr. Gibbon’s chief hobby is Sunday School work, and he has -served as a religious teacher of the young for over thirty years, in the -various places where he has lived. His spirit of enterprise and -attractive personality make him an ideal influence on youth. He is a -member of the Kiwanis Club, Hamilton, and of the following fraternal -societies, I.O.O.F., A.F. & A.M., Royal Templars of Temperance, and the -Orange Order. On November 6, 1901, he married Margaret H. Lacey, and has -two children, Playford Sutherland Gibbon and Ada Margaret Gibbon. - - - - -[Illustration: E. BLAKE ROBERTSON, OTTAWA -J. C. BREITHAUPT, KITCHENER] - - - - -=Webber, John A.=, Assistant Postmaster, Hamilton, Ont., was born in the -township of Binbrook, Wentworth County, December 10th, 1861, the son of -Esau Webber, contractor, Hamilton, Ont., and his wife Isabella (Ledmon) -Webber. He was educated at the Hamilton Public Schools and Hamilton -Collegiate Institute, was appointed to the Civil Service as a clerk in -the Hamilton Post Office, October 24, 1881, advancing steadily till, in -June, 1918, he was appointed to his present position by the Civil -Service Commission, an appointment received with general satisfaction by -the press and business men of Hamilton, and one of the earliest -important promotions made by the Civil Service Commission. He married on -June 1, 1886, Helena S. Murray, daughter of John J. Murray (M.D. Trinity -College, Dublin), of Waterdown, and has two daughters, Ada A., wife of -R. H.

He is an Anglican, -and a member of the Executive Board of St. Thomas Church. Outside of his -agreeable manner, intense activity is Mr. Webber’s outstanding -characteristic, and his principal recreation seems to be in always doing -things, and doing them well and cheerfully. Alluding to his appointment, -“The Civilian” (organ of the Civil Service), says: “In the appointment -of Mr. John A. Webber as assistant postmaster at Hamilton, we have -another instance of the application of the merit system as inaugurated -by the Civil Service Commission. He was appointed to the staff on -October 24, 1881, and has risen from junior clerk to almost head by -efficient work, his standing in all Departmental examinations being very -high. For ten years before his present appointment, he acted as -Superintendent of the office, filling the assistant postmaster’s place -during Mr. Matthews’ absence, and while in these positions his courteous -and prompt attention to the needs of the public made him a host of -friends in the business world with whom the appointment is very popular. -As to the staff, the appointment is equally popular, every man knowing -that under Mr. Webber any grievance is sure of a fair hearing and a just -decision in the matter.” Mr. Webber’s father was a prominent contractor -in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, during which period he erected many public -buildings and business blocks, among which were St. Mary’s Cathedral, -Centenary Church, Masonic Hall, Lester Block and hundreds of stores, -hotels and private dwellings. While carrying on the contracting business -during the period of food shortage, following the Crimean War, he bought -and operated a 200-acre farm in the county on which the subject of this -sketch was born but only remained during infancy. During the Great War -Mr. Webber took an active part in patriotic, Red Cross and Relief Work, -and in his long connection as director, and for several years in -succession President of the Hamilton Horticultural Society. Has -contributed not a little to the beautifying of home surroundings -throughout the city. In his connection with the Gordon Club and in the -eight counties under his jurisdiction as director of the Ontario -Horticultural Society he did much to stimulate the production of -vegetables and other foods throughout the district during the war. His -efforts in the direction received commendation from the President of the -National War Garden Commissioner, Washington, D.C., for adding to the -world’s supply of food during the war. Mr. Webber lives at 130 Stinson -Street, where he delights in Horticulture. - - * * * * * - -=Irwin, William Nassau= (Toronto, Ont.), only son of Francis Irwin -(Irish), for many years Treasurer of the town of Orangeville, county -town of Dufferin, and Jane (Taylor) Irwin (Canadian).

Campbell, of Toronto, -insurance publisher and editor, was of Scottish extraction and was born -in Shannonville, Ontario (then Canada West), on July 17, 1854. He was -the eldest of four children who reached maturity. While he was still a -child, his parents removed with their family to Toronto, where he -continued to reside until his death. He was educated in the public -schools, and went to work while still only a lad, serving under his -father, who held an administrative position in the Toronto office of the -old Lancashire Fire Insurance Company. About 1880 he joined his father -in the publication of a monthly insurance journal called “The Budget.” -From its first issue the new paper was independent in policy and -aggressive in tone, and its strictures upon some of the loose practices -of insurance companies, and especially its denunciations of wild-cat -concerns carrying on a business of plunder in the name of insurance, -made it a power in its field. A fairly extensive printing business was -developed as a side line of the business, but ultimately this proved too -complex a load for the periodical to carry. The result was that other -people acquired the rights in “The Budget.” But the Campbells, father -and son, at once came out with a new venture, “The Bulletin,” virtually -a continuation of the old. In 1905, feeling the need of greater freedom -in editorial and business policy than his surroundings permitted, Mr. -Campbell dissociated himself from his father, and began the publication -of “Office and Field,” a weekly—in its time the only weekly journal in -the world wholly devoted to life insurance. The world-wide upheaval in -life insurance business arising from the investigation by a committee of -the legislature of the State of New York in 1905 threatened the new -venture with early extinction, but by daring and skilful guidance Mr. -Campbell brought his craft to success. He demanded and insisted upon -service of the public as the one justification for life insurance. It -was largely through his influence that the life insurance agents were -organized as the Life Underwriters’ Association of Canada, an -institution which, carrying out the policy which he and other leaders -laid down, has achieved a splendid success. His work, both as editor and -propagandist was a distinct factor in making life insurance in Canada -the great financial and social force it has become. Mr. Campbell was -married in September, 1887, to Jessie G., eldest daughter of the late -George Maclean Rose. Of this union there were born two daughters and a -son. The son, Wilfrid Maclean Campbell answered the call to the colours, -and served as a private in France and Flanders from February, 1916, to -the end. He was one of the glorious Canadians at Vimy Ridge, was wounded -at Hill 70, but returned to the ranks, and was among those who marched -as victors into Germany. Too great devotion to business broke down Mr. -Campbell’s health, and after a short illness he died in June, 1914, in -his sixtieth year. - - * * * * * - -=Henderson, Alexander, B.A., K.C.=, is one of the most prominent members -of the British Columbia Bar, and practises at Vancouver. He was born at -Oshawa, Ont., in 1861, the son of Alexander Henderson, a native of -Caithness, Scotland, and Grace (KilPatrick) Henderson, a native of -Paisley, Scotland. His father, after coming to this country, became -mechanical superintendent of one of Oshawa’s leading industries, and the -subject of this sketch was educated at the public and high schools of -his native town and at the University of Toronto. He graduated from the -latter institution in 1884 with the degree of B.A., and subsequently -qualified for the law. He was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1889, and -two years later decided to take up his residence in New Westminster, -B.C.

In 1911, he resigned, and resumed the practise -of law at Vancouver, where he has a large and lucrative practice.

The Company now has 164 stores, extending from -Quebec City to Port Arthur, including 39 in Toronto, 13 in Ottawa, 11 in -Hamilton, and one or more in almost every important town in the -province. Remarkable as this achievement is in so short a time, it falls -far short of the goal set by Mr. Reid, who intends to have stores in -every city and town of consequence in the Dominion, and no doubt would -have already made this goal an established fact before now if the war -had not put a temporary stop to further expansion. Besides operating -this great chain of stores, the company has two large cigar factories, -and as a holding company, also controls a chain of Drug Stores with -about a dozen branches, and a constantly and rapidly increasing -business. The annual turnover of the cigar stores and cigar factories is -between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, all directed by Mr. Reid personally -from the head office. This immense volume of business enables the -company to buy goods in such large quantities that it obtains better -terms than are available by small purchasers, and at the same time -minimizes the percentage of overhead expenses. Mr. Reid married Edith E. -Rogers, daughter of A. C. Rogers, Newmarket, Ont., November 8, 1896. He -is a member of the Toronto and Montreal Boards of Trade, of the -Scarborough Golf Club, Lakeview Golf, Mississauga Golf and Ontario -Clubs; member of the A.F. & A.M., a Presbyterian, and independent in -politics. His chief recreations are bowling and golf. He resides at 42 -Lakeview Ave., Toronto. Mr. Reid is genial in manner, a systematic -organizer, with sufficient of the imaginative faculty to prompt -enterprise and enough determination and reserve force to ensure the -carrying out of anything to which he lays his hand. He was the first man -in the province of Ontario to place on the market the product of -Canadian grown tobacco, and the expansion of this business has proven -his foresight beyond question. The great war made heavy drafts on the -staff of the Company, but Mr. Reid is too good a Britisher to complain -of that; in fact, in addition to contributing thousands of dollars to -patriotic purposes, so strong along this line is he that he never has -allowed any foreign element to obtain a footing in his company, which he -says will be strictly Canadian, without outside influence, so long as he -is at its head—and that means as long as he desires to remain in active -business. - - * * * * * - -=Johnson, Hon. Thomas Herman, B.A., LL.D.=, Attorney-General of -Manitoba, is a type of those Icelandic Canadians who, going into the -West in the early days, have done so much for its development. He was -born in Iceland on February 12, 1870, the son of John and Margaret -Johnson. When he was a boy of eight years old his father resolved to try -his fortunes in the virgin country of Western Canada, and settled in -Manitoba as a farmer, bringing his family with him. The subject of this -sketch was from early boyhood bent on a professional career. He attended -the public schools of Winnipeg, and later took a course at Gustavus -Adolphus College, Minnesota, from which he graduated in 1895 with the -degree of B.A. As a youth he taught school during the summer in the -Glenboro district to secure funds to continue his studies during the -winter. After obtaining his degree he entered the legal offices of -Richards (afterwards Mr. Justice Richards) and Bradshaw, with a view to -qualifying himself for the law. He was admitted to the Manitoba Bar in -1900, and immediately commenced practice at Winnipeg. His abilities and -knowledge of the different races of Manitoba were such that in 1901 the -Laurier administration appointed him census commissioner for Manitoba to -take the decennial census of that year. In 1904 he was elected as member -of the Winnipeg School Board, and continued to act until 1907, when he -resigned to stand as Liberal candidate for the Legislature in the riding -of West Winnipeg. He was successful, and was also re-elected in 1910. At -the general elections of 1914 he was Liberal candidate in Centre -Winnipeg, and was again successful. As a prominent member of the -opposition, he took an active part in the campaign which resulted in -driving the Roblin administration from office. In 1915, when the -Liberals, under Hon. Mr. Norris, came into power, he was again elected -for Centre Winnipeg, and on the formation of the Norris government was -offered, and accepted, the post of Minister of Public Works. -Subsequently, he was transferred to the more important portfolio of -Attorney-General. Mr. Johnson is a fine public speaker, and his -shrewdness and judgment on all public questions are highly esteemed by -his fellow citizens and colleagues in the Legislature. He is a Lutheran -in religion, and his chief recreation is golf. On June 21, 1898, he -married Aurora, daughter of F. Frederickson, merchant, Glenboro, -Manitoba, and has three children, M. Ethel, Elswood B., and Cecil F. -Johnson. - - * * * * * - -=Farrow, Robinson Russell=, Assistant Commissioner of Customs, was born -at Bluevale, Huron County, Ontario, March 7, 1864, and was educated at -the public schools in Huron. He is the son of Thomas Farrow, (who came -to Canada from England in 1849, and for years was Superintendent of -Schools for Wawanosh, Morris and Turnberry, and who, establishing -himself in business, made progress and prospered as the country advanced -in population, industry and wealth), and Mary Macdonald, of London, -Ontario. His father also became popular in the County of Huron, and at -the general election in 1872 was chosen to represent North Huron in the -House of Commons. He was re-elected at the general election in 1876, and -again at the general election in 1882 was the successful candidate for -East Huron. June 1, 1881, Mr. Farrow first entered the Civil Service of -Canada in the Customs Department, and May 8, 1907, was appointed -Assistant Commissioner. In lawn bowling and curling, Mr. Farrow holds a -prominent station for competency, and is ever sought when championship -contests are listed. He usually carries his team to victory. He is -honorary President of the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association; member of -the Executive of the Dominion Lawn Bowling Association; Past President -of the Ottawa Lawn Bowling Club; and a member of the Finance Committee -of the Ottawa Curling Club. In his official capacity as Assistant -Commissioner, he is one of the busiest men in the Civil Service, and one -of the most competent, coupled with which there is an ever evident -promptness in action and courtesy in manner. January 5, 1887, Mr. Farrow -married Miss R. J. Bradley, daughter of Samuel T. Bradley, a mill owner, -and Margaret Alexander, of Huntley, Ontario. Mr. Farrow has one -daughter—Ethel, B.A. (now Mrs. C. H. Bland), whose son, Corpl. C. H. -Bland, B.A., served during the world war in the 20th Battery, Overseas -Forces, and was with the army of occupation in Germany; and Bombdr. -Russell Farrow, who, with the 20th Battery, C.E.S., served in France, -Belgium, and with the army of occupation in Germany. Mr. Farrow belongs -to the Laurentian Club, and is a member of the following societies: -Scottish Rite Masons; A.F. & A.M.; Oddfellows; A.O.U.W.; Canadian Order -of Foresters; Sons of England. He resides at 7 McLeod Street, Ottawa, -Ont., and he attends the Methodist Church. - - * * * * * - -=Veale, Philip Henry=, Assessment Commissioner for the City of Ottawa, -was appointed to that position February 5, 1917. He is well known among -Canadian municipal officials and civic legislators as a reliable -authority on assessments, both as to the application of the Ontario -Assessment and Local Improvement Acts, and as to land values, of which -he has been a close student. Prior to his appointment as Assessment -Commissioner, there were, besides the Commissioner, an Assistant -Commissioner; and when Mr. Veale was appointed the latter position was -abolished, the civic government considering that in the new appointment -they had secured a man who was competent to perform the duties alone, -although the responsibilities and duties of the office had increased -considerably, and were daily increasing. That they were not mistaken is -amply proved by the fact that the affairs of the Assessment -Commissioner’s office were never working in such regular clock-like form -as they are to-day. When Mr. Veale first became an employee in the -Assessment Commissioner’s Office in 1892, the taxable assessment of the -city of Ottawa was but $18,236,160, and the population only 43,942. In -1919—twenty-seven years later—the taxable assessment had increased to -$114,392,261, and the population to 104,007; and, strange to say, of all -the aldermen who were in the city council at that time, but one man, -Alderman (now Controller) Napoleon Champagne, is still in civic life, -and most of the others have crossed the line and joined the great -majority. Mr. Veale has contributed largely to newspapers and magazines -on assessment and other like important subjects, and few, if any, are -better able to handle such subjects in newspaper discussion than he. It -was in the re-organization of the civic assessment department in 1892 -that Mr. Veale was appointed to a clerkship. It was not long before he -was appointed chief clerk, and then Assistant Commissioner; and when Mr. -William Stewart retired in 1917, Mr. Veale was called upon to assume the -duties and responsibilities of both offices. Besides being an authority -on real estate values, Mr. Veale is well known in Eastern Ontario as a -breeder of White Wyandotte chickens, as a consistent exhibitor and -prize-winner. At his summer home. River Park, every year he raises -hundreds of thoroughbred fowl. Mr. Veale is the son of Philip Veale, who -for many years was manager of the Dominion Fisheries at Ottawa, and Jane -(Smith) Veale. He was born at Merrickville, Ontario, January 7, 1865, -and was educated in the public school, New Edinburgh, now a portion of -Ottawa. On April 27, 1887, Mr. Veale married Emma M. Payne, daughter of -Abraham Payne, civil servant, Ottawa, resulting in a fine family of nine -children—seven girls and two boys—Ethel Alberta, Mabel Mildred, -Kathleen Gwendeline, Philip McDougal, Beatrice Jean, Albert Newell, -Annie Edna, Lois Evelene, Constance Winifred. Mr. Veale is a member of -the following clubs and societies: St. George’s, Sons of England, Knight -of the Maccabees, and St. Matthew’s Church Men’s. In religion he is an -Anglican, in politics a Conservative, and his recreations are fishing, -and amateur gardening. His residence is at Woodroffe, Ont. - - * * * * * - -=Finlayson, George Daniel, B.A., A.I.A.=, is the son of Edward -Finlayson, a farmer who was born at Merigomish, N.S., and Catherine -(Smith) Finlayson, and a brother of Professor J. N. Finlayson of -Dalhousie University, Halifax. Mr. Finlayson was born in Merigomish, -Pictou County, Nova Scotia, December 31, 1882, and received his -education in the country school, Merigomish, Pictou Academy, and -Dalhousie University, graduating in 1907 with B.A. and great -distinction. On May 6, 1907, Mr. Finlayson entered upon his duties in -connection with the Dominion Insurance Department, and at once became a -valuable acquisition to the staff of that branch of the Civil Service. -It was not long before his great ability as an authority on, and his -general knowledge of, all phases of insurance brought him prominently to -the notice of the Ottawa authorities and the heads of insurance -companies throughout Canada, and his promotion, as a consequence, was -rapid. Seven years later, from the time he entered the service on -September 1, 1914, and at the early age of 32 years, he was appointed to -the highest position in the Insurance Department, viz., that of -Superintendent, which position he holds to-day. In the execution of his -duties, he is noted for his courtesy to all who seek information from -him. In 1914, Mr. Finlayson married Isabel M. Grant, daughter of A. M. -Grant, of Moncton, New Brunswick, and has one daughter, Catherine Smith -Finlayson, and one son. Mr. Finlayson is a member of the Canadian, -University, and Riverside Golf clubs. For recreation he indulges in -tennis, golf and walking. He is a Presbyterian in religion, and his -residence is 200 Carling Avenue, Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=McLean, Angus Alexander, LL.B., K.C., Ex-M.P.=, Controller of the Royal -North-West Mounted Police, since 1917, was born December 17, 1854, at -Belfast, Prince Edward Island, and received his education at the Prince -of Wales College, Charlottetown, P.E.I., and Harvard Law School. He is -the son of William and Flora McLean, both of Prince Edward Island. -Having read law in the office of the late Chief Justice, Hon. Sir -William Sullivan, Mr. McLean was called to the bar in 1876, and became a -partner in the law firm of Sullivan, McLean & Morsen. Afterwards he was -senior member of McLean & McKinnon, barristers and solicitors, Victoria -Row, Charlottetown, P.E.I. In June, 1894, he was appointed Q.C., and -revising officer for East Queen’s, and was elected President of the -P.E.I. Law Society. For eight years, Mr. McLean was law clerk for the -P.E.I. Legislature, and was Official Assignee under the old Dominion -Insolvent Act for five years. During 1888, 1889 and 1900, Mr. McLean -represented the constituency of Belfast in the P.E.I. Legislature. He -was a candidate at the by-elections of 1902 and 1904 for the House of -Commons, and was elected at the General Election of 1904. In the General -Election of 1908 he was defeated, but in 1911 was elected by a large -majority. October 15, 1917, he was appointed controller of the Royal -North-West Mounted Police. In June 14, 1882, Mr. McLean married Leah -Yeo, daughter of the late John Yeo, of Charlottetown. She died in 1897. -In 1898, he married Frances H. Longworth, daughter of the late Henry -Longworth, of Charlottetown. He has two sons, both of whom served with -distinction in the Overseas forces during the great world war. In -religion Mr. McLean is a Presbyterian, in politics a -Liberal-Conservative, and he is a member of the A.F. & A.M.; the -I.O.O.F.; and the S.O.S. Societies. He resides at 312 Cooper Street, -Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Robertson, Hon. Gideon Decker, P.C.=, Federal Minister of Labor, was -the first actual representative of organized labor to be called to -either the Dominion Cabinet or the Senate of Canada, He was born at -Welland, Ont., on August 26, 1874, the son of Gavin E. Robertson and -Laretto Goring, both native Canadians. His paternal grandfather was a -native of Scotland, who became a member of the bar and later went to -Jamaica, where he took an active part in the agitation for the abolition -of slavery, which became a fully accomplished fact in 1838. In this -movement Robertson was in correspondence with Clarkson, Macaulay (father -of Lord Macaulay), Wilberforce and others active in freeing the British -Empire from this reproach. Later, he came to Canada, where Gavin -Robertson, father of the subject of this sketch, was born, and where he -became a farmer and school teacher on the Niagara peninsula. Gideon -Decker Robertson was educated at the public and high schools of Welland -and as a youth took up telegraphy in connection with railroad work. A -strong believer in trades unionism, he soon became active in the Order -of Railroad Telegraphers, an international body, of which he was some -years ago elected Vice-President, an office he still holds. His duties -brought him in contact with the chiefs of organized labor on this -continent, and he won a high reputation for clear thinking and executive -ability. In 1917, when Sir Robert Borden decided to abolish party lines -and form a Union Government, he offered Mr. Robertson a position in the -Senate and a seat in his Cabinet. The offer was accepted, and in the -autumn of that year he was sworn in as a member of the Privy Council and -a Minister without Portfolio. In May, 1918, he was appointed Chairman of -the sub-Committee of the Council on Labor Problems, and also Chairman of -the National Registration Board in connection with the war. On November -7, 1918, he was sworn in as Minister of Labor in succession to Hon. T. -W. Crothers, who had announced his intention of retiring some months -previously. The appointment was made just at the psychological moment, -for the armistice, which had been signed just one week previously, -created a host of labor problems more serious than Canada had ever -previously been called upon to face; and only a statesman enjoying -practical knowledge and the confidence of organized labor could have -dealt with the situation. In the spring and summer of 1919 he was called -upon to combat a conspiracy affecting all Canada to introduce a modified -form of Russian Bolshevism, fathered by the Industrial Workers of the -World, known as the “One Big Union.” The aim was to unite all existing -labor organizations in one body, and by sympathetic strikes and a policy -of terrorism destroy capitalism, and reduce all other classes to -subjection. This movement came to a head with a general strike called in -Winnipeg early in May, on the pretext of a dispute between the metal -workers and their employers. Winnipeg was chosen as a strategic point, -because of its peculiar geographical position as the chief divisional -point of three transcontinental railways. The aim was to cut Canada in -two in the matter of communications, and then by broadening the strike -Eastward and Westward secure complete control of Canadian transportation -and industry, after which the movement was to be carried into every -section of the United States. Senator Robertson himself went to the -scene of operations, and by his fearless, though moderate handling of -the situation, and his influence with the saner labor elements, rendered -the conspiracy abortive so far as the rest of Canada was concerned, and -fruitless in Winnipeg. He thus secured a triumph for legitimate trade -unionism, of which he is the chief sponsor in Canada. He is a Freemason, -a Presbyterian, and in politics a member of the Independent Labor Party. -On June 10, 1896, he married Mary Berry Hay, daughter of Alexander Hay, -Watford, Ont., and has six children—Edwin J., John McElroy, Gain -Elliot, Alexander Lorne, Mabel Letitia, and Alma Lauretta. He formerly -resided at Welland but his home is now at Ottawa. - - - - -[Illustration: W. H. DWYER -Ottawa] - - - - -=Hutchison, Col. William= (Ottawa, Ont.), the subject of this sketch, -was born in New Edinburgh in 1843, a suburb of the city of Ottawa. He -was educated in the Public and Grammar Schools. When about seventeen -years of age Col. Hutchison commenced to learn the Milling business with -his uncle, the late Thos. McKay, who was then owner of the McKay Mills -at the Chaudiere and also a partner in the New Edinburgh Mills. At the -age of twenty Col. Hutchison left for the United States where he -followed the milling business for several years. On his return he took -charge of his uncle’s business and shortly afterwards was made a -partner. In 1885 he was elected to City Council, and served for seven -years. It was during Col. Hutchison’s service in the City Council that -the question of the proper drainage of the city attained its greatest -importance, and it is owing to his keen foresight and wise counsel and -persistence that Ottawa to-day has the excellent drainage system of -which it now boasts, and that is but one of the many happenings for the -benefit, progress and beautification of Ottawa that were brought into -existence through his instrumentality during his term of office in the -City’s Civic affairs. From 1888 to, and including the year 1905, a -period of eighteen years, Col. Hutchison was a member of the Board of -Directors of the Central Canada Exhibition Association, and from 1895 to -1905, 10 years, he was President. On retiring in 1906 he was elected -Honorary President of the Association and has been re-elected to that -position every year since. Col. Hutchison, with the assistance of -Messrs. Ahearn and Topper, was instrumental in converting the old horse -car line to electric, giving Ottawa one of the best street car services -on the continent. He ran for the Dominion House in 1896, with the result -that both he and his French colleague, Napoleon A. Belcourt, were -elected by a sweeping majority. At the time the Conservatives felt that -they had a serious grievance, but ere long the good-hearted, -good-natured and genial new Member became the friend and companion of -both Liberals and Conservatives in the House of Commons. In 1901, when -Sir Wilfrid Laurier needed a competent man to travel to all parts of the -world to exhibit Canada’s mineral, cereal and industrial resources, Col. -Hutchison was asked to accept the position of Canadian Exhibition -Commissioner. He accepted and since his appointment he has had charge of -Canada’s exhibits at the following times and places:—1901, Buffalo, -U.S.A.; 1902, Osaka, Japan; 1903-04 St. Louis, U.S.A.; 1905, Liege, -Belgium; 1906, Milan, Italy; 1907, Dublin, Ireland; 1908, Shepherds -Bush, London, England; 1909, Seattle, U.S.A.; 1910, Brussels, Belgium; -1911-12, Crystal Palace, London, England; 1913, Ghent, Belgium; 1914-15, -San Francisco, U.S.A.; 1916-17, San Diego, U.S.A. The great world war -has caused a cessation of the valuable exhibits, but the whole display -is located in commodious quarters on Wellington St. in Ottawa, under -Col. Hutchison’s special care, waiting and ready to be shipped at a -moment’s notice. In 1902 Col. Hutchison was decorated by the Emperor of -Japan with the Order of the Rising Sun (with rank of Colonel in the -Army). In 1905 he was decorated by the late King Leopold II. of Belgium, -with the Order of Leopold, and in 1906 by the King of Italy with the -Order of the Crown of Italy, in 1910 he was made Commander of the Order -of the Crown of Belgium by King Albert I. Col. William Hutchison is the -son of the late Robert Hutchison of Ayrshire, Scotland, who came to -Canada in 1830 and in New Edinburgh married Mary McKay, niece of the -late Hon. Thos. McKay, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. In -September, 1874, he married Electa Blanche, daughter of S. T. Willett of -Chambly, Quebec. Two sons have blessed the union. In religion he is a -Presbyterian, and in politics a high tariff Liberal. He is also a member -of the Rideau Club, Ottawa, and his residence is 443 Albert St., Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=Gibson, Brigadier-General Sir John Morison, K.C.M.G., M.A., LL.D., -K.C.=, born January 1, 1842, township of Toronto, in the County of Peel, -and is therefore a “Peel Old Boy.” His father, William Gibson, a farmer, -came from Glamis, Forfarshire, Scotland, in 1827. His mother, Mary -Sinclair, was born in Scotland. Her people had settled in the township -of Nelson, in the County of Halton. The family removed from Toronto -township when the subject of this sketch was only eight or nine years of -age to the County of Haldimand, where he had some experience in the Log -School House education of the primitive settlements of that County in -the early 50’s. He afterwards went to the Central School in Hamilton, -the late Dr. Sangster then being Superintendent and Head Master. In due -course, and working against great disadvantages, he became head boy of -the public schools of Hamilton, a position which he maintained until he -passed the matriculation examination of the University of Toronto in -1859. As head boy of the school, he with the second boy, was selected to -open the waterworks system of the city of Hamilton in 1858. His course -at the University was a very successful one, taking scholarships all the -way through the various years, and graduating in 1863 as the highest -honor graduate with the Prince of Wales Prize, then given for general -proficiency, including honors at graduation, the Silver Medals in -Classics and Modern Languages, and the prize in Oriental languages, -including Hebrew, Chaldee and Syriac. After taking his B.A. degree, he -commenced the study of law in the office of the late Sir George Burton -in Hamilton, at the same time taking the law course of the University, -and receiving the degree of LL.B. in 1869 with the gold medal. One thing -of note in connection with General Gibson’s life is that he has always -endeavored to repay the educational institutions from which he received -his education. For many years he was a member of the Board of Education -in Hamilton, and was its Chairman for two years. During that time the -Collegiate Institute was brought into prominence as one of the leading -secondary educational institutions of the country. He served as a -Senator of the University of Toronto, being elected at the first -election of graduates in 1873 and re-elected in 1878 and 1883. He -subsequently founded a general proficiency scholarship for matriculation -candidates. When a student of the University during the Trent affair, he -joined the University Rifles, being one of the first to sign the roll of -that company in 1860. He has been in the Militia ever since, for now -nearly 59 years, and at the present time is the senior officer in the -Canadian Force among all who are not following military life as their -regular occupation. In 1863, he transferred to the 13th, and has served -from private up through all the ranks to the position of commanding -officer, which position he held for 9 years, and at the present time is -the Honorary Colonel of that corps. He was present at Ridgeway as a -lieutenant. He subsequently commanded the 15th Brigade, having -headquarters at Hamilton, and later on at the beginning of the great war -received the rank of Brigadier-General. As a marksman he always has had -a very high reputation, having been a member Canadian Wimbledon teams in -1874, ’75, and ’79, being a frequent prize winner, and taking the much -coveted Prince of Wales prize in the last-named year. He took part in -several of the early international long range rifle contests with -British, Australian, and American rifle teams. In 1881 he commanded the -team which defeated the British team in the competition for the Kolapore -Cup. He was president for three years of the Ontario Rifle Association, -was also President of the Canadian Military Rifle League, and from 1893 -for thirteen or fourteen years was President of the Dominion Rifle -Association. In 1907 he again commanded the Canadian rifle team at -Bisley. He has also been President of the Canadian Military Institute, -and was President of the Canadian Red Cross Society from its original -organization throughout the South African War, and subsequently for a -period of about 14 years, and has been throughout the recent great war -one of the most active members of the Executive Board. He was for two -years President of the Hamilton St. Andrew’s Society. From an early age -he has been a very prominent Freemason—was Grand Master of the Masonic -Grand Lodge of Canada during the years 1892 and 1893, being now the -representative of the Grand Lodge of England, and for nine years was -Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite -Masons in Canada. He has always taken a prominent part in politics. As a -young man he was Secretary of the Hamilton Reform Association, which -position he held for many years. He was first returned to the -Legislature in 1879, representing Hamilton for a period of 19 years, and -afterwards East Wellington for 7 years. He entered the Government as -Provincial Secretary in 1889, became Commissioner of Crown Lands in -1896, and Attorney-General in 1899. He was an honorary A.D.C. to their -Excellencies, Lord Aberdeen and Lord Minto, when Governors-General, and -in 1897 was selected by the Militia Department to proceed to England in -connection with the celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee; was -present by invitation, at the coronations in Westminster Abbey of the -late King Edward VII, and of the present King George V. He has always -taken a leading part at the Bar, and was made a Queen’s Counsel in 1890, -is a Bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada, and as a young man was -an examiner in the Faculty of Law at Toronto University. In 1903 he -received the honorary degree of LL.D. from that institution, and -subsequently also from McMaster University. In 1908 he became -Lieut.-Governor of the Province of Ontario, being the last to occupy the -old Government House on King Street West, Toronto, continuing for over -six years. During his term, on the recommendation of His Royal Highness -the Duke of Connaught, then Governor-General of Canada, he was created a -Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. As a public -man he shrank from prominence in the public eye; he was most industrious -and faithful in the performance of any duties he undertook to discharge. -He had an excellent training for many years under the greatest of law -makers this country has ever produced, Sir Oliver Mowat. While a private -member of the Legislative Assembly he was selected as Chairman of the -Private Bills Committee, which for fifteen years he presided over with -eminent ability, fairness and impartiality. During the short period when -the license branch was under his control some of the most advanced -measures of temperance legislation were introduced by him, including the -local option law, the validity of which was stoutly contested, but in -the end affirmed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Though -not himself a practical sportsman, almost immediately after entering the -legislature he led a movement for better protection of game birds and -fur-bearing animals, first securing the abolition of spring shooting and -other improvements in the law, and afterwards the appointment of a Royal -Commission followed by a thorough revision of the game laws and the -establishment of a departmental branch, with a chief game warden and -other provincial wardens entrusted with the enforcement of the laws -relating to game protection. While Provincial Secretary he was always an -industrious legislator. The laws relating to Joint Stock Companies were -thoroughly revised, modernized, and simplified by him. The old laws -relating to building societies and loan companies were completely -overhauled, and became the present Loan Corporations Act. It was at this -time also that he undertook to stem the tide or flood of benefit -societies, many of them of the fake order, which threatened to inundate -this Province—a subject of legislation requiring at the time very -cautious and skilful handling, but which, with the able assistance of -Mr. J. H. Hunter, M.A., was ultimately put on a very satisfactory -footing. One of the most important laws of comparatively recent years -owes to him its existence, and has generally been referred to as the -“Gibson Act”—the Act relating to neglected and dependent children—and -the establishment of the Children’s Branch, with Mr. Kelso as its chief -officer. This law has been most beneficial in its operation, and has -been followed more or less closely in most of the other Provinces. -During his comparatively short incumbency as Commissioner of Crown Lands -he introduced and carried through the House the important legislation -prohibiting the exportation of saw logs—a measure affecting very large -interests but meeting the entire approval of the public. He also dealt -with important changes in the mining laws during a period of great -mining excitement in the Province. It is probably not generally known -that while Commissioner of Crown Lands he introduced a short but very -important measure preventing any absolute alienation by the Crown of -Provincial water powers, and providing for leasing same for short -renewable terms of years subject to conditions in the public interest. -It is somewhat singular that a public man who has often been unfairly -criticized as a champion of monopolies should never have been credited -with this act directly aimed against and prohibitive of monopoly. In the -matter of forest preservation or reforesting, Mr. Gibson aimed at -carrying out a programme which probably time would justify as the most -effective and productive policy possible. He aimed at the selection and -setting apart every year a portion of the Crown domain unfit for -agricultural purposes as a timber growing reserve. Many such sections in -Northern Ontario, which have been cut over or burnt over, and now more -or less covered over by new growth, could be set apart and treated as -territory to be guarded as timber growing areas. In the Eastern part of -the Province certain old limits were repurchased from the license -holders and so set apart, and again another area in Western Ontario. The -plan of year after year reserving areas in this way would in a -generation or so result in well defined sections of the Province -producing a new crop of timber which would not fail to become an -extremely valuable asset to posterity. It was in Sir John Gibson’s time -that the first steps were taken for the establishment of the Temagami -Reserve very effectively carried out by Mr. Davis, his successor. As -Attorney-General he had, of course, the responsibility of legislation -generally. The assessment laws had been the subject of investigation and -report at the hands of two Royal Commissioners, and amid the distressing -conflict of opinion on the various questions which arise whenever this -subject is touched, the difficulty of framing a generally acceptable -measure seemed insuperable. Whatever may be thought of the present act, -Sir John Gibson’s tact as a legislator was mainly instrumental in having -it passed through the House, and probably as time has passed and the -public have become more and more familiar with its provisions it may be -considered to give general satisfaction. The collection and revision of -Imperial Statutes in force in this Province in the shape of a brief -third volume of the Revised Statutes carried out with the aid of a -committee of the judges has been a boon to law students, and a great -convenience to the legal profession. (The foregoing facts and -observations regarding Sir John’s career have been contributed by Mr. -James Innes Macintosh, who was for several years his private secretary -when a Minister of the Crown.) He was one of the pioneers, along with -the late John Patterson and the late John Moodie, in introducing -Hydro-Electric power and long distance transmission of same in this -country utilizing surplus water from the Welland Canal, and transmitting -the power to Hamilton, where very soon many of the industrial and -electric railways adopted the same, to the great advantage of the -companies. For many years he was President of the Cataract Power -Company. He is a Director of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, the Canada -Life Assurance Company, the Toronto General Trusts Corporation, the -Toronto Conservatory of Music, the Homewood Retreat at Guelph, the -Dominion Power and Transmission Company, the Canadian Westinghouse -Company, and several other industrial companies in Hamilton. He was -married first in 1869 to Emily Annie, daughter of the late Rolph -Birrell, of London, who died in 1874; second, in 1876 to Caroline, -daughter of the late Senator Adam Hope, who died in 1877; and third, on -May 18, 1881, to Elizabeth, daughter of the late Judge Malloch, of -Brockville. He had six children, viz., John Gordon Gibson, who died -shortly after taking his B.A. degree at the University of Toronto; -Eugenia Elizabeth Emily; Margaret Mary Stewart, wife of Robert S. -Waldie, of Toronto; Archibald Hope Gibson, Barrister; Captain Colin W. -G. Gibson, of the Royal Fusiliers, who was twice severely wounded; and -Francis Malloch Gibson, who went to the front as an officer of the 48th -Highlanders at the commencement of the war and was killed in action near -Armentieres. Sir John’s manner is dignified but affable, his style of -speech clear and precise; in his movements he is deliberate, but with -the elasticity of well-preserved middle age, while his expression is -kindly but alert, with evidence of unlimited determination and -unmistakable inclination and power to lead. When an active officer of -the Militia he was recognized by his fellow-officers as a master of -field manœuvres. The beautiful family residence, “Ravenscliffe,” is -delightfully situated on the lower slope of the mountain, looking down -Ravenscliffe Avenue, through a vista of stately elm trees. - - - - -[Illustration: W. C. KENNEDY -Windsor] - - - - -=Mitchell, The Hon. Walter George= (Quebec City), Treasurer of the -Province of Quebec, was born at Danby, in the County of Drummond. He is -the son of the Hon. Senator William Mitchell, his mother’s maiden name -being Miss Dora Goddard. His early education was matured at the Montreal -High School and at the Bishop’s College school of Lennoxville. -Thereafter he entered McGill University as an undergraduate, finally -taking his degree of B.C.L. in 1901. On being admitted to practice at -the Bar, he became connected with the law firm of Greenshields, -Greenshields & Heneker. Two years after he became a prominent member of -the firm of Laflamme, Mitchell and Callaghan, receiving his K.C. in -1912. In view of his being chosen by the Lieutenant-Governor to assume -the duties of the Hon. P. S. G. Mackenzie, who had died suddenly, he was -subsequently elected by acclamation as representative of the -constituency of Richmond, a county which he continues to represent as -Member of the Provincial Parliament, after a second election by -acclamation. Prior to his assuming the office of Provincial Treasurer, -Mr. Mitchell was in possession of a large and lucrative practice in -Montreal. While actively engaged with his professional duties, as a -leading lawyer, he did not fail to take an active interest in political -affairs, and came into public prominence in the administration of the -Montreal Reform Club. Through his efforts in co-operation with his -associate members, new and attractive quarters for that club were -erected on Sherbrooke Street; and, in 1913, he was chosen, by way of -reward for his active services, the President of that flourishing -institution, and in the following year was re-elected to the same -office. From the date of the famous Drummond-Arthabaska election contest -in 1910, Mr. Mitchell became more and more intimately identified with -the political life of the Eastern Townships and its various electoral -movements. During the winning of the constituency of Drummond-Arthabaska -back to the Liberal interest in 1910, he was associated with Dr. Beland, -later a prisoner of war in Germany, and was acclaimed everywhere as an -eloquent and persuasive pleader in behalf of the naval policy of Sir -Wilfrid Laurier. In fact, in 1911, it was to a large extent through Mr. -Mitchell’s influence as an organizer, not to speak of his father’s -unbroken popularity as a public man, and other influences, that the -constituency of Drummond-Arthabaska was won over to the Liberal -interest. As Provincial Treasurer, Mr. Mitchell has made a name for -himself as a most successful financier, taking a prominent rank almost -immediately as a parliamentary debater. Nor has he failed to share in -remedial legislation, whenever such came up for consideration in the -Provincial Parliament. He has interested himself particularly in -modifying the Quebec License Law, fathering amendments to that law -restricting the number of licenses, increasing the license fees, -prohibiting treating, increasing the age limit, shortening the hours of -sale, and urging an enactment to abolish the bars on the 1st of May, -1918, with immediate sanction to the Minister of Militia and Defence to -declare any or all districts throughout the Province of Quebec “out of -bounds” for soldiers and sailors. At his instance also the Quebec -Insurance Act has been amended from time to time, so as to give better -protection to the public. One of his most notable and highly patriotic -acts in parliament since the war in Europe began, was his presentation -of a Bill, asking authority to subscribe out of the public revenues in -behalf of his native province a million of dollars to the Canadian -Patriotic Fund—a proposal which met with an instant and unanimous -approval from both chambers. Under his mature financial advice the -Province of Quebec has spent millions of dollars in constructing and -improving highways of nearly every district. And yet so prudently have -the finances of the province been husbanded under his judicious -oversight, that the provincial debt has virtually remained as easy a -burden on the people as it ever has been, notwithstanding the large -amounts spent on the highways, and the large increase in the grants to -education, agriculture, and public works. Altogether Mr. Mitchell has -won the highest credit as a parliamentarian and a financier, enjoying -the full confidence of his colleagues and of many of his fellow -legislators, irrespective of party lines. He was married on February the -4th, 1907, Mrs. Mitchell’s maiden name having been Miss Antonia -Pelletier. Their family comprises two sons and three daughters. - - * * * * * - -=Lesperance, Albert Paneran= (Montreal, Que.), General Manager, was born -at Longueuil, Que., on September 17, 1860, and was educated at Longueuil -and Montreal Business College, he is the Executor of the Estate of Henry -Hogan, also the Estate Masson; is a Roman Catholic in religion and -styles himself an Independent in politics; is a member of the Canadian -Club, Montreal Board of Trade, and Chambre de Commerce, also Governor of -Notre Dame Hospital. On May 10, 1890, he married Delima Bovin, the -daughter of Leonard Bovin, a merchant, of St. Hyacinthe, Que., and has -ten children: Juliette, Henri, Germain, Annette, Arthur, Simmonne, -Irene, Therese, Suzanne and Paul. - - * * * * * - -=Parsons, S. R.= (Toronto, Ont.), President of the British-American Oil -Co., Ltd., Oil Refineries, was born in Port Hope, Ont., in 1854. Son of -William and Margaret (Trick) Parsons. He received his education in the -Public and Grammar Schools of that town and began business with the firm -of James Campbell & Son, at that time extensive manufacturing -stationers, and publishers of Toronto. After six years’ association with -this firm he removed to Winnipeg and subsequently engaged in the -wholesale stationery business as senior partner in Parsons, Bell & Co., -which afterwards merged with the Consolidated Stationery Co., Ltd., of -which he was President for a number of years. In 1882 Mr. Parsons -married Anne Kate Helliwell, daughter of Rev. Thomas Lord Helliwell of -Winnipeg, and has three daughters, Mrs. Chas. A. Withers, Mrs. Henry F. -Gooderham, and Mrs. Errol A. Hethrington, all of Toronto. After sixteen -years of successful business in Winnipeg, Mr. Parsons was compelled to -leave the northern climate in the interest of his health and returned to -Toronto where in 1906, along with others, he established the extensive -business of which he continues the moving spirit. He has always taken an -active interest in religious, social and philanthropic work and for many -years has been a director of the Methodist Union. Since 1900 he has been -Chairman of the Ontario Board of Directors, Canadian Fire Insurance Co., -and is a member of the Northern Ontario Fire Relief Committee, and the -Organization of Resources Committee of the Province of Ontario, also of -the Ontario Executive of the Bonne Entente at whose meeting in the -Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, in 1916, he was one of the principal speakers -and put forward this three-plank platform: First—We ought to live -together in sincerity, friendship and justice; Second—We ought to -strive for a cleaner public life; Third—We ought to help maintain the -integrity and strength of our great Empire. But it is in connection with -his work in the Canadian Manufacturers Association that Mr. Parsons has -come most prominently before the public, for though naturally being far -from an aggressive man, when the burden of office was laid upon him he -realized his responsibilities to the full and has frequently from the -platform, in the press and in action given evidence of the reserve force -that was in him. He was elected for four successive years (1911-1915) -Chairman of the Transportation Committee of the Association; Second -Vice-President in 1915, First Vice-President in 1916, and President at -the Annual Meeting of the Association in Winnipeg in 1917. He was -Chairman in 1917 of the Committee of Employers of Labor for the Province -of Ontario to secure men to help in the harvest fields, an organization -responsible for the saving of many millions in food stuffs. On assuming -office as President of the C.M.A. Mr. Parsons delivered an inspiring -inaugural address of a thoroughly business character, but progressive, -loyal, ethical, liberal and humanitarian as well. In 1918 he was -appointed a representative of the C.M.A. on the Federal Board for the -settlement of Labor disputes. Writing of him on this occasion, “The -Monetary Times” says: “He is a capable, energetic business man, with a -frank and alert manner that wins confidence. The welfare of the Canadian -Manufacturers Association is in good hands under his care. He is a type -of Association President well able to smooth out many of the -difficulties between capital and labor, having appreciation of the -problems met by both.” Mr. William Lewis Edmonds writes at the same time -in “Industrial Canada”: “While Mr. Parsons is strong as a business man, -and particularly in the quality of executive ability, that is not the -only direction in which his strength lies. He is a strong man all the -way round. He is a man of strong opinions and particularly on subjects -that approach the ethical in character, and having cultivated the habit -of looking at controversial subjects from the other fellow’s perspective -as well as his own, it is not a difficult thing to persuade him to -change his attitude, provided the other fellow is right and he is wrong, -but when once after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he is -persuaded that he is right he’ll not surrender principles, although -where non-essentials are the issue he will readily agree to a -compromise. In judgment he is sound, and in insight keen and quick. -Although not connected with either political party, Mr. Parsons takes a -keen interest in public affairs, and practical movements which have for -their object a betterment of conditions in state and society have his -warm, and in many instances, his active sympathy.” Writing in the -“Toronto Star Weekly,” Arthur Hawkes says: “Mr. Parson’s service in the -Manufacturers Association has been real service, and not a still hunt -for glory. In committee he is as cautious as strong, and as strong as -wise. He looks often before he leaps and he can take a pretty good -leap—the fundamental condition of which is that he shall have examined -the jumping-off place and surveyed the spot where he intends to land. -When he has made up his mind he doesn’t change it, which is because he -is sound in judgment.” In concluding his quite lengthy sketch and -referring particularly to Mr. Parsons’ political platform he says: “This -is a pretty good creed. It is just like Parsons. If you know him you -know an honest manufacturer, a broad Methodist, and a friend who is with -you till daylight.” Of him, “Motoring” says: “He presented an excellent -report to the C.M.A. convention as Chairman of the Special Committee on -the Co-ordination of recruiting and production. He is a clear thinker -and speaker and could probably quote from half a hundred authors. He is -a keen business man and one who puts his best efforts into all he -undertakes.” Mr. Parsons is not only a clear thinker but an apt phraser -as may be judged from this clause in his inaugural address as President -of the C.M.A.: “These are surely days for plain living and high -thinking, days when there is a compression of life, and days which -summon all that is heroic within us to stand like men in meeting our -duties, whether they be personal, social, local or national.” In a -speech before the Canadian Club of Orillia, in February, 1918, on -“War-Time Business and Profits” which was endorsed by the C.M.A. -Executive and published in the principal papers of Canada, Mr. Parsons -said: “Canadians, let us know each other better, let us understand and -sympathize with each other’s problems, for in that knowledge lies -increased production, good feeling between city and country, prosperity -in reason and fair play to all.” A strong desire for fair play and -justice to all is the outstanding characteristic of Mr. Parsons’ whole -attitude towards any question, and, while conservatively progressive he -is so liberally and humanely so that his influence in the important -association of which he is President cannot fail to be productive of -better feeling between employer and employees. In manner Mr. Parsons is -genial and easy of approach, a good conversationalist, well-read and -with a ready and apt style of expression, but views every question -apparently through ethical spectacles—a habit unfortunately not -generally in vogue. He is a member of the National Club, Canadian Club, -and Toronto Board of Trade. He is a Unionist in politics, and a member -of the Methodist Church. His office is the 13th floor of the Royal Bank -Building and his residence 139 Crescent Road, Toronto. - - * * * * * - -=Forman, James C.= (Toronto, Ont.), Assessment Commissioner, a son of -the late James Forman, one of the 93rd Highlanders, was born November -23, 1851, and received his education in the Public and Model Schools and -British-American Commercial College. He occupied a position in a -broker’s and insurance office for about two years, and then entered the -employ of the wholesale dry goods firm of Dobbie and Carrie, remaining -there for over four years. Mr. Forman, afterwards, while in the employ -of the late George Warin, was offered a temporary position in the City -Hall by the late Stephen Radcliff, City Clerk. He was permanently -appointed in 1878 as Assessment Clerk, and gradually worked his way up -the ladder until he assumed his present position in 1905, succeeding Mr. -R. J. Fleming on the latter’s resignation. Mr. Forman has taken a close -interest in assessment matters, having read papers before the Ontario -Municipal Association and International Tax Association and is -frequently selected to represent the City Council at their meetings. In -1903 he was in close touch with former Attorney-General Sir John Gibson -in the preparing of the new Assessment Act. In October, 1908, he read a -paper before the Internation Tax Association on “Business Assessments as -a Substitute for Personal Property.” He takes the deepest interest in -town planning and represented the City Council at Philadelphia, May, -1911, and the Board of Trade at Boston, reading a short paper at the -latter city in May, 1912. He has prepared a report on the Single Tax -Situation as he found it in the West, from Winnipeg to Victoria. Mr. -Forman is in every respect a man who has done his share toward placing -Toronto on its present high pinnacle of fame, and has won the esteem of -all citizens by his safe and able administration of the office of -Assessment Commissioner. He is a man of undoubted integrity, with keen -instinct and a pleasing countenance. He is a warm adherent, an active -worker and for several years occupant of the post of “People’s Warden” -of St. Matthew’s Church, First Avenue. He has refused several flattering -offers from the leading real estate concerns of this city, preferring to -remain in his present position. - - * * * * * - -=Foster, Thomas Wilfred= (Kirkland Lake, Ont.), was born in Dundalk, -County of Grey, Ontario, on February 25, 1885, and educated at the -public school of that village, his parents being John and Christina -Foster, who moved to Alberta where the father of the subject of this -sketch died in June, 1916, at Wainwright. A brother, David Albert, -enlisted in the 51st Battalion from Edmonton, in the Canadian -Expeditionary Forces. Mr. Foster carries on the business of a general -merchant at Kirkland Lake, Ont., of which place he is the Police -Magistrate and postmaster. He married Mary Greer, daughter of James and -Sofia Greer, and is the father of the following children: Leonard, -Ralph, Vivian and Irene. Mr. Foster has been for some years prominently -identified with the Masonic Order, being Past Master for Porcupine -Lodge, and also is a member of the Orange Order. In religion, he is a -Methodist and politically, is a Conservative. - - * * * * * - -=Shortly, Orville Benjamin=, began his career with the Metropolitan Life -Insurance Company on July 6, 1903. In 1904 he was appointed -Superintendent of the Ottawa district. Arriving in Ottawa he immediately -entered upon his duties in that capacity. It was not long before he had -secured for his company a large number of policy-holders who, as the -days, months and years passed by, grew larger and larger in numbers -until, up to 1918, his large and greatly increased staff of employees at -the head office, The Metropolitan Life Building, corner Metcalfe and -Queen Streets, Ottawa, and his numerous agents, are kept busily and -industriously employed. Previous to his arrival in Ottawa the -Metropolitan Life Insurance Company had failed to make itself well -established. His advent in the Capital of Canada, however, changed all -this and activity and progress began and has been in operation ever -since. As a recognition of the value of his services, in March, 1918, -the General Management of The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company -promoted him to the Chief Agency for the whole of Canada—a -well-deserved and well-earned promotion, while he still retained the -Superintendency of the Ottawa district, which up to the date of his -promotion controlled no less than forty-three thousand policyholders. On -October 28, 1918, Mr. Shortly was again promoted by his company, having -been transferred from Ottawa to take charge of the Toronto district of -the Metropolitan Life. He resides at 15 Whitney Ave., North Rosedale, -and his office address is 4 Richmond St. East. Although Mr. Shortly only -came to reside in Toronto on October 28, 1918, he has already been -placed on the executive of the Life Underwriters’ Association of -Toronto; has been made a member of the Association of Life Managers, and -been elected to membership in the Ontario Club, the Royal Canadian Yacht -Club, the Canadian Club, and the Scarborough Golf Club. Mr. Shortly is -the author of several essays on Life Insurance Salesmanship, and has -given addresses before several Life Insurance associations. He is a past -President of the Life Underwriters’ Association of Ottawa. He is an -enthusiastic sportsman. In his earlier days, when he was quite an -athlete, he was an expert bicyclist and captured many first prizes in -racing contests. When, in 1914, the terrible war hostilities commenced, -Mr. Shortly placed his services, such as he could give, at the services -of the State and forced his way into the midst of the greatest war -activities in the City of Ottawa. In collecting funds for the several -patriotic objects, and in helping to make the Victory Loans successful -he was one of the most active and his services were of inestimable -value. Prior to engaging in the insurance business Mr. Shortly was -salesman and manager for Eastern Ontario for the Canadian Typograph -Company of Windsor, Ontario. He has travelled considerably throughout -the continent and Europe. On August 27, 1917, Governor Whitman, Governor -of New York State, appointed Mr. Shortly Commissioner of Deeds for the -State of New York. Mr. Shortly was born in Peterborough, Ontario, -Canada, August 13, 1875, and was educated in the Peterborough Public -Schools. He is the son of Benjamin and Hattie Robertson Shortly. His -father is a merchant in Peterborough and holds the distinction of being -in business there longer than any other man. A prominent relative is -James E. Kavanagh, 3rd Vice-President of the Metropolitan Life Insurance -Company. On September 28, 1904, Mr. Shortly married Mabel Louise Howe, -daughter of Etna D. Howe, 24 Whitney Avenue, Toronto, President Northrop -& Lyman Drug Company. Two children have blessed the union—Orville Dean, -born August 3, 1905, and John Benjamin, born February 24, 1910.

He is the eldest son -of the late Henry Cotton, of the civil service of Canada. Henry Cotton -was the son of William Miles Cotton, of England, and was born in St. -Petersburg, Russia, in 1817, coming to Canada in 1836, and serving in -the civil service for upwards of forty years. The late Mr. Cotton -married in 1847, Eleanor, daughter of David Ross, Q.C., of Montreal, who -now survives him. David Ross, who died in Montreal in 1837, aged -sixty-seven, married Jane Davidson, daughter of Judge Davidson, of -Montreal. Arthur Davidson, afterwards judge, was clerk of the Court of -Appeals in the Province of Quebec, in 1778, during the period that His -Excellency Sir F. Haldimand was Governor-General of that Province. John -Ross, an officer in Wolfe’s army at the taking of Quebec, was the -great-great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch. W. H. Cotton was -educated at Toronto and Quebec, receiving a general English education, -embracing the study of classics. At the time of the organization of the -schools of artillery, and the permanent corps connected therewith, Col. -Cotton was then (1871) a Captain in the Ottawa Garrison Artillery, -having been transferred from the Quebec Garrison Artillery. He was the -first Captain of A Battery Regt. C.A., and in 1882 succeeded to his -present appointment on the promotion of Lieut.-Colonel Irwin.

As accountant in the offices of the Lake -Temiscamingue Colonization Railway at Mattawa, Ontario; in his occupancy -of a similar position with Leblanc & Lemay, wholesale and retail -clothiers and gent’s furnishers, and afterwards with D. V. Ranger, -wholesale merchant at Ottawa, he was always found quick and reliable in -his work, and, besides gaining and retaining the full confidence of his -employers, he firmly established himself as an accountant of enviable -reputation. It was in 1899, owing to the increased and rapidly -increasing work that the Department of Interior was called upon to -handle, attributable to Sir Clifford Sifton’s able and progressive -administration, that Mr. Marchand’s services were secured, and the -expenditure branch of that Department required carefulness, watchfulness -and efficiency, and had to be placed in charge of one whose past record -had stamped on it faithfulness and reliability. Since Mr. Marchand’s -advent into that part of the Civil Service, the expenditure of the -Department of Interior has had a painstaking, reliable and efficient -public official, and one whose ever-attentive industry and care has -elevated it to a high standard of excellent management. Prior to -entering the Civil Service, Mr. Marchand was an active political worker -in the Liberal party’s interests in Ottawa. At one time, and for several -years, he was Secretary for the Club National, a French-Canadian Liberal -organization, and was recognized as a strong and effective political -worker. The late Hon. F. G. Marchand, who became Premier of Quebec, was -one of Mr. Marchand’s many prominent relatives. Mr. Marchand was born at -Ottawa, December 25, 1866, and is the son of Amable Marchand and Adelina -Belair. His father was a prominent accountant, who saw that his son -received a good commercial and classical education in Ottawa, Montreal -and Quebec. Mr. Marchand was twice married. On October 6, 1891, he -married at Ottawa, Josephine, daughter of Mrs. O. Lafleur, a widow. She -died in May, 1916. On January 10th, 1917, he married in Ottawa, Bertha, -daughter of P. Girard, whose residence is at Carillon, Quebec. By this -second marriage, his home is blessed with a son and a daughter, Rosaire -and Carmen. Mr. Marchand is a member of the Institut Canadien-Français -and Monument National. In religion he is a Roman Catholic, and he -resides at 81 Stewart Street. - - * * * * * - -=Northrup, William Barton, K.C., M.A.= (Ottawa, Ont.), Clerk of the -House of Commons, is an eminent lawyer, and was for many years head of -the legal firm of Northrup and Roberts, of Belleville, Ontario. For many -years he sat in the House as the representative for East Hastings, -Ontario, and was noted for his able debates and the eloquent and -persistent manner in which he advocated the establishment of divorce -tribunals where the poor as well as the rich would be accorded fair play -and justice, and the abolition of the costly Senate procedure, which was -antiquated, unjust and farcical and unreliable. Mr. Northrup was first -elected to Parliament at a by-election to fill the vacancy caused by the -death of Mr. S. B. Burdell, who was returned to Parliament at the -general election in 1891. He was unsuccessful in his candidature in the -general election in 1896, but at the general elections of 1900-4-8 and -1911 he was successful. He did not run in the war election in 1917. In -1902 he accompanied the Rt. Hon. Sir R. L. Borden on the North-West -tour. Succeeding Dr. T. B. Flint, M.A., LL.B., D.C.L., he was appointed -Clerk of the House of Commons in 1918. Like the late Dr. Flint, Mr. W. -B. Northrup has had a long experience as a member of the House of -Commons, and is an expert in parliamentary practice. His natural -geniality and uniform courtesy made him friends on both sides of the -House. With distinguished ability, grace and dignity he fills the -position of Clerk of the House of Commons. William Barton Northrup is -the son of the late A. G. N. Northrup, Deputy-Clerk of the Crown and -Pleas, County Hastings, Ontario. He was born in Belleville, Ontario, -October 19, 1856, and was educated at the Belleville Grammar School, -Upper Canada College, and Toronto University (B.A. with honors 1877, -M.A. 1878).

His father, the late William Weld, -son of an Anglican Church clergyman, emigrated from Tenterden, Kent, -England, in 1843, and made a home for himself amid the forests of -Delaware Township. After living the life of a pioneer farmer for twenty -years, he founded “The Farmer’s Advocate” of London in 1866 as a means -of assisting other settlers who were continually coming to him for -advice, and it is through his long association with this journal and its -colleague, “The Farmer’s Advocate and Home Journal” of Winnipeg that the -subject of this sketch became so widely known. After receiving his early -education in the London schools, Mr. Weld learned the printing business -in a local shop and completed his apprenticeship with a short -post-graduate engagement with a large New York publishing house. -Returning to Canada, he was attracted by the West, which was then -opening up for settlers, and he staked his claim in Saskatchewan, where -he “proved up” on a half-section in 1885. The growth of “The Farmer’s -Advocate” then necessitated his return to London, where he became -business manager of the publication until his father’s death on January -3, 1891. He then became general manager, and when the Wm. Weld Company, -Ltd., was organized and incorporated in July of the same year, he -acquired a controlling interest in the firm, which he has since held. -The first issue of “The Farmer’s Advocate” of Winnipeg appeared in 1890. -It was edited in the West, but a separate company was not organized -until July 31, 1905, when The Farmer’s Advocate of Winnipeg, Ltd., was -incorporated with Mr. Weld as President. A building was erected on -Princess Street in that year, but it proved inadequate to meet the -ever-growing requirements of the business, so it was sold in 1911, and a -five-story concrete, fire-proof building was constructed at the corner -of Notre Dame and Langside Streets. In order to keep the two -publications inseparably linked with practical and progressive farming, -as well as to provide means whereby the editors might keep constantly in -touch with varying agricultural conditions, a farm was purchased in the -neighbourhood of London, and, incidentally, a separated portion of this -is a part of the Weld homestead which has always been owned by the -family under the original Crown grant. The subject of this sketch spends -many enjoyable hours on Weldwood Farm, where pure-bred Yorkshire swine -and one of the largest herds of pure-bred dual-purpose Shorthorns in -Canada are maintained. The Bryant Press, Toronto, of which Mr. Weld is -President, was acquired in 1903, and he is also President of the London -Printing and Lithographing Company, Ltd. He has held various offices in -the Canadian Press Association, and was the only representative of the -Agricultural Press to visit Britain and the war zone in company with -Canadian publishers and editors, the party being the guests of the -Imperial Government in the summer of 1918. He is a member of the -Anglican Church, and a life member of the Masonic Order, Tuscan Lodge -195, A.F. & A.M. - - * * * * * - -=Foster, Hon. Walter Edward=, Premier of New Brunswick, is also one of -the most prominent business men of that Province. He was born at St. -Martins, N.B., on April 9, 1874, the son of Edward H. and Elizabeth -(Pattison) Foster, and educated at the public and grammar schools of St. -John, N.B. As a boy of fifteen he entered the Bank of New Brunswick as a -junior clerk, and remained in its service until 1899, when he became a -member of the firm of Vassie & Co., Ltd., wholesale dry goods merchants, -St. John. Of this firm he is now Vice-President and Managing Director. -He is also actively connected with transportation and shipping -interests, and is President of the St. Martins Railway Co. He was -Vice-President of the St. John Board of Trade in 1906-7, and President -in 1908-9. He was Third Arbitrator and Chairman of the Conciliation -Board which successfully settled differences between the longshoremen of -the Port of St. John and the Shipping Federation, 1913. In the autumn of -1915 differences having again arisen between the Longshoremen’s -Association and the shipping companies at St. John, he was appointed -Chairman of the Conciliation Board by the Minister of Labor of Canada, -and succeeded in effecting an agreement for two years. Coming as it did -in the midst of the war, this settlement was of the highest importance -in a military sense. Hon. Mr. Foster was formerly an officer in the New -Brunswick Regiment, Canadian Artillery, retiring with the rank of -Captain in 1903. He has been for a good many years identified with the -Liberal party, and is a Past President of the Young Liberals Club of St. -John, but not until comparatively recently did he become a candidate for -political office. In 1916 the Liberal party in the Legislature decided -on reorganization, and offered the leadership of the Opposition to Mr. -Foster. He accepted, and at once threw himself with energy into the task -of putting the party on a fighting basis. At the general elections of -February 24, 1917, he was victorious at the polls, and he was shortly -afterward sworn in as First Minister. His business-like and economical -administration in a difficult period has given satisfaction to all -classes of citizens. He is a member of the Union Club, St. John, and was -President of the Cliff Club, 1915-7. In religion he is an Anglican. On -January 18, 1900, he married Jehan Mary, daughter of William Vassie, St. -John, and has one son and three daughters. His residence is at 36 -Cobourg Street, St. John, and his summer residence at Rothesay, N.B. - - * * * * * - -=Charlesworth, Hector=, journalist (Toronto, Ont.), was born at -Hamilton, Ont., September 28, 1872, the son of Horatio G. and Charlotte -(McEachern) Charlesworth. He is a Canadian of several generations, some -of his forbears having come to Quebec after the British conquest in the -eighteenth century. His maternal grandfather, John McEachern, whose -parents went to Manitoba with Lord Selkirk’s party, was born at Fort -Garry on the site of the present city of Winnipeg, in 1811. When he was -but very young, his parents travelled in canoes through the waterways of -Northern Ontario to Montreal, and later made their home at Chateauguay -Basin, Que. Mr. Charlesworth has lived in Toronto since 1876, and was -educated at Wellesley School and Jarvis Street Collegiate Institute. His -father was a shoe manufacturer; and in 1887 he was articled as a -chartered accountant with a view to his ultimately becoming office -manager of the firm. At seventeen he commenced writing anonymously under -the _nom de plume_ of “Touchstone” for Toronto “Saturday Night.” In 1891 -Mr. E. E. Shepherd, editor of the journal, inserted an advertisement -asking the contributor to disclose his identity, and on learning it -offered him a position on the staff of that journal. He remained with -Mr. Shepherd for a year, and then resolved to qualify himself by -practical experience as a reporter. During the next eighteen years he -worked on several daily newspapers, including “The World,” “The News,” -and “The Mail and Empire,” of which latter journal he was City Editor -from 1904 to 1910. Shortly after the reorganization of “Saturday Night” -as a national weekly he was offered and accepted the post of Assistant -Managing Editor, which he still holds. Though he has been a copious -writer on political, financial and social topics, he is perhaps best -known as a musical and dramatic critic. He acted as Chairman of the -Board of Judges at the Earl Grey dramatic competitions, Toronto, 1911, -and of Winnipeg, 1912, and eliminating judge in the Duke of Connaught’s -competition, 1913. He was also chief judge in the “Collier’s Weekly” -competition to secure suitable English words for “O Canada” in 1909. He -has written essays and sketches for many publications, including the -“International Studio,” the “New York Evening Post,” “Christian Science -Monitor,” “New York Times,” the “Canadian Bankers’ Journal,” and the -“Canadian Magazine.” His name appears among the contributors to volume -one, number one, of the latter publication. He was one of the special -writers engaged in connection with the Victory Loan Campaigns of 1918 -and 1919, his work being syndicated throughout Canada, and has edited -and contributed to many Canadian books of reference. His other published -work includes a treatise on modern methods of treating tuberculosis -published by the National Sanitarium Association, and the narrative -introduction to Dr. Herbert A. Bruce’s controversial book “Politics and -the Canadian Army Medical Service.” In 1900 he was personally thanked by -the family of the late Robert Louis Stevenson for two sonnets protesting -against a movement to remove the remains of that author from Samoa, -which have since been reprinted in the “Oxford Book of Canadian Verse.” -He was also one of nine accredited Canadian correspondents who -accompanied the present King and Queen (then Duke and Duchess of -Cornwall and York) on the Royal tour of 1901, and later reported His -Majesty’s visit to the Quebec Tercentenary in 1908. On February 15, -1897, he married Katherine, second daughter of Peter Ryan, Toronto, and -has two children, Constance Charlotte (born 1904) and Lionel Victor -(born 1906). - - * * * * * - -=Bennett, Richard Bedford, K.C., LL.B.= (Calgary, Alta.), is one of the -leading barristers and publicists of the Canadian West. He was born at -Hopewell, Albert County, New Brunswick, on July 3, 1870, the son of -Henry J. and Henrietta (Stiles) Bennett. His father was of U.E. Loyalist -stock, and his mother’s people settled in Canada immediately after the -British conquest of 1759-60. On both sides Mr. Bennett represents the -ninth generation born on this side of the Atlantic. He was educated in -the Public and High Schools of New Brunswick and at Dalhousie -University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he qualified for the law and -received the degree of LL.B. He was called to the New Brunswick Bar in -1893, and for a time practised at Chatham, N.B., as the partner of the -late Hon. L. J. Tweedie, afterward Prime Minister and -Lieutenant-Governor of the Province. In 1897 he removed to Calgary, and -was called to the Bar of the North-West Territories, forming a -partnership with Mr. (now Sir) James Lougheed, at present Government -leader in the Dominion Senate and Minister of Civil Re-establishment, a -partnership which has continued ever since. In 1907, Mr. Bennett was -created King’s Counsel. In 1898, one year after his arrival in the West, -he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the North-West Territories -for West Calgary, and sat in that body until its dissolution in 1905, on -the granting of autonomy to Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 1909, he was -elected for his old constituency to the Alberta Legislature, and was -recognized as the ablest debater in that body. Among his public services -was the exposure of the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway transaction, -which led to a change from the Rutherford to the Sifton administration -and Cabinet reconstruction. At the Federal elections of 1911 he resigned -from the Alberta Legislature to run for the House of Commons as -Conservative candidate for Calgary. He was elected, and the same -campaign placed Sir Robert Borden in power. At Ottawa, Mr. Bennett was -at once recognized as one of the leading figures on the Government -benches, and in the trying period which followed the outbreak of the war -in 1914 proved a source of strength to the administration. Actively -identified with the Canadian Patriotic Fund and Red Cross Society. -President of the Alberta Provincial Branch of the latter, member of -Central Council and of Executive of Patriotic Fund. He accompanied Sir -Robert Borden to Great Britain and France in 1915 on the occasion of the -Prime Minister’s first visit of inspection to the Canadian army -overseas, and later became Chairman of the National Service Commission -to report on Canada’s war possibilities in men and resources. At the -general election of 1917 declined re-nomination, but supported Union -Government. In addition to his renowned forensic abilities, Mr. Bennett -has a deep grasp of commercial and development questions. Shortly after -going to the West he became identified with the irrigation projects of -the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. He resigned his position as -counsel to that company in Alberta on being elected to the House of -Commons. He is to-day interested in and director of several industrial -and financial corporations, including the Metropolitan Life Insurance -Company of New York.

His ancestors can be -traced back to the Huguenots of France, whose lives were in constant -danger in the 16th and 17th centuries, who were constantly involved in -war, who were persecuted and suffered severely in the reign of Francis -I. and his successors, and of whom from 25,000 to 30,000 suffered death -at the massacre of St. Bartholomew, August 20, 1572. In 1685, hundreds -of thousands of these Puritans went into exile, going to Prussia, -Holland, Switzerland, England, Scotland, and America, and Mr. -Butterworth’s ancestors found a resting-place, a place of safety, in -England, where they remained and industriously added to the wealth of -the country, and took part in the Peninsular War at the beginning of the -19th century. Being seafaring, enterprising, and ambitious men, and with -a desire to make their mark in the new world, where they would have -large scope to exercise their talents, they left the old country and -arrived at Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, where, eventually, they became -builders and owners of merchant ships and captains in the merchant -fleet, and married into United Empire families. Tiring of seafaring -life, and in compliance with the wishes of the sons, and at the -suggestion of the mother, Mr. Butterworth, Sr., sold out his shipping -interests and the valuable lands and wharves which he owned at Port -Hawkesbury, and with his wife and family arrived in Ottawa, which was -then in its infancy, having been incorporated just one year, previously. -When they grew up, Mr. Butterworth and his two brothers, E. B. and C. A. -Butterworth, following in the ambitious footsteps of their ancestors, -not satisfied with their then existing opportunities for advancement, -left for the United States, and engaged in business and met with -success. Their love for the British Empire, however, was still dominant -within them, and they decided to sell out, return to Canada, and make it -their future home. In 1874, they entered into business in Ottawa as -hardware merchants and metal workers, and later, in 1881, started in the -coal business. Eventually, C. A. and E. B. retired from the coal -business and continued in the hardware business, while J. G. B., the -subject of this sketch, retired from both of these and remained alone as -the coal merchant, which business he has carried on to this day most -successfully, and which to-day holds the lead of all others. Mr. -Butterworth has three plants, with large storage capacity sufficient to -hold at any one time 25,000 tons, and enabling him to constantly carry a -heavy stock of coal during the summer to provide against delays in -winter transportation and during the winter season. Over $100,000 is -invested in these plants. In the severe winter of 1917, had it not been -for the provision made by and the ability of Mr. Butterworth to supply -large quantities of coal, there would have been great hardship in not -only Ottawa, but in Carleton Place, Perth, Almonte, Arnprior, Renfrew, -and many outside places in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, to which -points he was able to and did ship thousands of tons of coal. He, in -that terrible winter, became the great provider of the people of Ottawa -and her surrounding neighbours by supplying them with the coal they -needed. For 1918 he was equally prepared to meet any emergency that -might arise, but, luckily, the winter was not of a nature so severe as -that of the previous year. In 1917, in order to cope with all demands -that were likely to be made, Mr. Butterworth practically took care of -the coal trade. He took the whole output of the Independent Coal Mine in -Pennsylvania, shipped the small sizes to N.Y. and N.J. to the textile -and munitions factories, and the prepared sizes into Canada. In so doing -he secured large quantities of coal which otherwise could not have been -obtained, and his foresight and enterprise prevented a serious coal -famine in Ottawa and the other places before mentioned. The name of John -George Bissett Butterworth will always be held high in gratitude and -esteem by the people of Ottawa and of many other cities and towns in the -Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Mr. Butterworth is the son of William -and Matilda Catherine (Bissett) Butterworth. He is President and -Managing Director of the Ormstown Brick and Terra Cotta Co., of -Ormstown, Quebec; ex-Vice-President of the Montreal Terminal Railway; -ex-President of the Capital Power Company, of Deschene; ex-President, -Ottawa Cartage Company; and ex-President of the Capital Fuel Company. In -1879, Mr. Butterworth married Elisabeth J. Shaw, daughter of James Shaw, -Shawville, Quebec, a merchant in that place. He has two sons and two -daughters—Grace Winifred, John George Hawthorne, Ethel Gertrude, and -Wilfred Rosamond. One of his sons served as a lieutenant in the European -War. Mr. Butterworth is an Anglican in religion, and resides at 225 -MacLaren St., Ottawa, Ont. - - - - -[Illustration: E. McMAHON -Ottawa] - - - - -=Bell, John Percival=, General Manager of the Bank of Hamilton, -Hamilton, Ont., is recognized as one of the ablest of Canadian -financiers. He is a native of the city in which he resides, and from -early youth has grown up with the institution of which he is now the -executive head. He was born on June 8th, 1872, the son of John and Jane -(Park) Bell, and was educated in the public and high schools of -Hamilton. In 1888, as a lad of sixteen he entered the service of the -Bank of Hamilton as a junior clerk, and during the ensuing twelve years -learned every phase of the banking business. In 1900 he was appointed -manager of the Georgetown branch, and two years later was transferred to -the Berlin (now Kitchener) branch in a similar capacity. In 1904, he -became manager of the Brantford branch, one of the most important in the -territory of the institution, and remained there until 1909, when he -returned to Hamilton to become manager of the main office in that city. -In 1914, he was promoted to the position of General Manager on the -retirement from that position of Mr. James Turnbull, who, by a -coincidence had become General Manager of the Bank in the same year -(1888) that Mr. Bell entered its service. The five years of Mr. Bell’s -incumbency as General Manager have been the most difficult in the -history of Canadian finance, owing to the disruption caused by the great -war, and he has proven a brilliant success. He has carried on the policy -which has specially endeared the Bank of Hamilton to its clientele, by -caring for the interests of the business man of moderate resources with -the same zeal as is bestowed on those of the great corporations. Mr. -Bell is thoroughly in touch with the great and constantly expanding -business interests of his native city; and his regime has been marked by -an expansion of the Bank’s Toronto custom, as witnessed in the taking -over of the great office building and premises of the now extinct -Traders’ Bank in that city. He was elected a councillor of the Hamilton -Board of Trade in 1911, and during the war acted as Treasurer of the -Patriotic Fund for his district. His recreations are golf, bowling and -curling, and he is a member of the following clubs: Hamilton; Hamilton -Thistle; Hamilton Jockey; Royal Hamilton Yacht; Hamilton Golf; and the -Toronto Club (Toronto). In politics he is independent, and in religion -an Anglican. On Oct. 11th, 1900, he married Rosalind, daughter of Rev. -Arthur Boultbee, Toronto, and has two sons and three daughters. Mr. and -Mrs. Bell reside at 78 Chedske Ave., Hamilton. - - * * * * * - -=Noyes, John Powell=, Prothonotary Superior Court (Cowansville, Ont.), -was born at Potton, Brome County, Que., September 15th, 1842, the son of -Herman B. Noyes and Sarah Powell. Receiving his education in Bangor and -Fort Covington, N.Y., and St. Mary’s College, Montreal, from which last -he graduated in 1866, he studied law with the late Hon. L. S. -Huntington, Q.C., and the late Judge Laframboise. Mr. Noyes practised -his profession at Waterloo, Que., where he was also editor of the -“Advertiser,” and meeting with gratifying success became Batonnier of -Bedford District and K.C. in 1886; also Batonnier-General for the -Province of Quebec in 1887. In 1889 he was appointed a Royal -Commissioner to investigate the claim of the Hereford Railway Employees, -and in 1891 Joint Prothonotary Superior Court, Joint Clerk of the -Circuit Court, and Joint Clerk of the Crown and Peace for the District -of Bedford. In 1887 he was nominated for Shefford (Local) Constituency -in the Liberal interest but withdrew before the contest; his name has -also been mentioned as a candidate for the Judiciary. Mr. Noyes was the -first Mayor of the Town of Waterloo and for an extended period -Secretary-Treasurer of the Stanstead, Shefford & Chambly Railway Co., of -which he is now a director. He is the author of “Canadian Loyalists and -Early Settlers in the District of Bedford,” published in 1901, also of -“Some Pioneers of Shefford,” is a director of the Historical Society of -Missisquoi, and was elected President in 1904. He has been a Freemason -since 1866, having been a member of and sat in the Grand Lodges of -Canada and Quebec; he was grand Superintendent R. A. Masons, Eastern -Township District, in 1883; Grand First Principal, Grand Chapter of -Quebec in 1886-7; Deputy Grand Master, Grand Lodge of Quebec, in 1893, -and Grand Master of the above in 1894. Mr. Noyes married Lucy A., -daughter of Joseph Merry of Magog, Que., in 1867, and has six -children—Egbert S., Jessie C., Laura M., Bertha A., Emily M. and Ralph -M. Noyes, of whom four survive. In 1913 he was named sole Prothonotary -of the District of Bedford and in 1916 was tendered a banquet by the -Judges, Bar and Court Officials of the District on the anniversary of -his admission to the Bar fifty years before, and of his appointment as -Joint Prothonotary twenty-five years before. - - * * * * * - -=Hughes, Brigadier-General William St. Pierre, D.S.O.= (Ottawa, Ont.). -On October 19, 1914, authority was granted to Lieut.-Colonel (now -Brigadier-General) William St. Pierre Hughes to organize an infantry -battalion to be absorbed into the Second Canadian Contingent for -Overseas Service. On the evening of May 5, the 21st was given a rousing -send-off by the citizens of Kingston, Ontario, and the following morning -the battalion embarked at Montreal on the S.S. Metagama for overseas. -Ten days later the 21st disembarked at Devonport, England, and on Sept. -15 it landed on French soil, and, in due time was under fire at -Messines, Vis-en-Artois, Neuville Villasse, Mercatel, Amiens, Bouley -Grenier, St. Eloi, Sanctuary Wood, Ancre, Vimy Ridge, Courcelette, -Mosselmark Village and Polderhook Chateau, Passchendaele, Bapaume, -Arras, Quichy-le-Chateau, the village of Damery and Parvillers, Cambrai, -and was one of the first battalions to cross the boundary at Bonn into -Germany. Before going overseas to serve in the Great War, General -William St. Pierre Hughes held the position of Inspector of -Penitentiaries, with headquarters in Ottawa. During his absence at the -front that office was abolished by Act of Parliament, and the new office -of Superintendent of Penitentiaries was established. The value to Canada -of General Hughes’ services as Inspector and as a competent and fearless -soldier during the war were well known to the Dominion Government, to -the members of Parliament, and to the general public, and when the -position of Superintendent was made public, members of Parliament, the -Press of Canada and the public in general were unanimous in General -Hughes’ favor, and he was appointed to the position. When he was -appointed to the position the “Montreal Gazette” said: “One of the -purposes of the Civil Service Commission is to select for appointment -worthy and capable men...... A case in point is the selection of -Major-General Hughes for the position of Superintendent of Dominion -Penitentiaries...... General Hughes comes of a fighting family in a -military sense, and the call of the colors has always found in him a -quick response even in the relatively remote days of 1885...... His -appointment is still more to be commended by reason of merit and -experience. He had long service in the Penitentiaries Branch of the -Department of Justice, in which he rose to the rank of Chief Inspector -before donning the uniform in defence of the Empire...... The -responsible duties of the office will be well discharged by one who -never failed in duty.” Brigadier-General William St. Pierre Hughes, -D.S.O., Superintendent of Penitentiaries, and brother of Major-General -Sir Sam Hughes, was born in Durham County, Ontario, June 2, 1863, and is -the son of John Hughes and Caroline Laughlin. From both sides of his -family he inherited military tastes, his father being the son of a -surgeon-major in the Imperial army who spent eighteen years in India, -and his mother the daughter of Colonel Laughlin of the 10th Royal Irish -Artillery and the granddaughter of Colonel St. Pierre, one of the most -famous of Napoleon’s colonels. General Hughes was educated entirely by -his father until his eleventh year, when he went to Toronto where he -remained six years. After a year at home he went to Winnipeg, where in -1885 he enlisted with the famous “Little Black Devils.” During his stay -in Winnipeg he won the amateur championship of Manitoba and the -North-West as a one-mile foot runner. After the Rebellion he returned to -Ontario, spending a year at college in Belleville; then a year in -Orillia where he played lacrosse with the Orillia team when that team -won the championship of Ontario; then to Cornwall, where he played with -the famous Cornwall lacrosse team during its years of national triumph. -In 1893, General Hughes became Warden’s Secretary and Clerk of -Industries in the Kingston Penitentiary, taking up what has become his -life’s work. After filling a number of different positions in -penitentiary work, during which he took a deep interest in criminology, -General Hughes became Inspector of Penitentiaries in 1913. With great -earnestness he started to put into effect many cherished plans for -prison reform, but the call of 1914 put an end for the time to this -work. During all the years of prison work General Hughes has kept in -close touch with military affairs. Starting as lieutenant in the old -14th Battalion of Kingston, he, in course of time, became -lieutenant-colonel commanding it, and was also brigade-major of the 7th -Canadian Infantry Brigade. General Hughes was in the West when war was -declared, and on his return in September, 1914, hurried to Valcartier, -but was then unable to get a place in the 1st Contingent, which had -already been mobilized. He then returned to Kingston and mobilized the -famous 21st Battalion. He commanded this battalion continuously until -July, 1916, when he was promoted to the command of the 10th Canadian -Infantry Brigade, which he commanded in France until the spring of 1917. -He then returned to England, where he commanded the Canadian area at -Crowborough until it was taken over by the Imperial army. General Hughes -then became president of a board for adjusting the financial differences -between the Imperial and Canadian authorities as regards barrack -damages, etc., and succeeded in writing off over $225,000 of charges -made by Imperials against Canadians, and also saving an amount of almost -$50,000 which was paid to Canadian Paymaster-General by various units in -settlement of these charges. During his service in France General Hughes -was awarded the D.S.O., and was twice mentioned in despatches. Owing to -a reorganization of the Penitentiary Branch, General Hughes was forced -to return to Canada in the summer of 1918, and was appointed -Superintendent of Penitentiaries in April, 1919. Prominent relatives of -General Hughes, besides Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, are Major John -Hughes and Dr. James L. Hughes, brothers. February 5, 1900, General -Hughes married Jessie Williams, daughter of William Macleod, of -Cornwall, Ontario. He has one son and one daughter, Major Laughlin -Macleod Hughes, R.C.H.A., and Mrs. John S. Gzowski, of Montreal, Quebec. -General Hughes is a member of the following societies: Masonic, Orange, -Odd-fellows and Foresters. For recreation he indulges in all-round -sports and big game hunting. He is a Presbyterian in religion, and -resides at 155 Stewart Street, Ottawa, Ontario. - - * * * * * - -=Smart, Russell Sutherland, B.A., M.E.=, is a member of the firm of -Featherstonhaugh & Smart, Patent Solicitors, 5 Elgin Street, Ottawa.

In politics he is a Conservative, and a -Methodist in religion. - - * * * * * - -=Gwatkin, Major-General W. G.= (Ottawa, Ont.), has been connected with -the military system of Canada since 1905. Except for rather less than -two years—between 1909 and 1911—his service with it has been -continuous, and he has been intimately concerned alike with the -preparations which were made for the Great War and with the staff work -at Headquarters during the course of the war. A Cambridge University -man, he joined the Manchester Regiment in 1882, and served as Subaltern, -Adjutant, Company Commander and Second in Command; in 1894 he passed the -Staff College; and in 1898 he began a long career on the Staff. Early in -1899 he went to the War Office to work in what ultimately became the -Mobilization Section, the organ of the War Office which had a great deal -to do, first, with the rapid and efficient supply of troops to South -Africa, and afterwards with the careful preparations which enabled the -regular army to show to such advantage in France. In the War Office -during this period he served under Colonel (now Lieut.-General) Sir -Percy Lake. In 1904, General Lake came to Canada to be the first Chief -of the General Staff, and in 1905 he brought Colonel Gwatkin (who had -been serving with his regiment in South Africa) to Ottawa to serve as -Director of Operations and Staff Duties—in other words, to be his -principal technical assistant. The reorganization of the Canadian -Militia which followed the South African War was beginning. In the years -between 1904 and 1914 the Militia force was remodelled, and a staff -system was founded which proved able to carry through the work of -raising and sending overseas an army of half a million men. Colonel -Gwatkin’s services were so highly regarded that the Minister of Militia -specially asked the War Office for an extension of his services, and he -remained in Canada, not for the regulation three years, but for four. -After a period of staff service in England his services were again -requested by the Canadian Government, and he came to Canada early in -1911. At that time the military authorities of the Empire had become -seriously apprehensive of war with Germany, and Colonel Gwatkin’s work -largely comprised such measures of organization for this emergency as -were undertaken in the circumstances. In particular he drew up complete -plans for the raising and despatch of a contingent to England in the -event of a war in Europe in which Canada might wish to participate. The -plan drawn up anticipated a large number of the points which arose when -the war actually came. In November, 1913, he succeeded Major-General C. -J. MacKenzie as Chief of the General Staff. He was filling this post -when the war came. The work done in the Militia Department in -preparation for such an eventuality proved of the utmost service. Cable -censorship was established, harbours were closed, dangerous points were -guarded, the transition from peace to a war which the general public had -not expected was made with remarkable smoothness. When the first -contingent sailed General Gwatkin was desired by the Government to stay -at Militia Headquarters to keep the machine working. During the entire -course of the war he performed enormous labours. To recruit, give -preliminary training to and ship overseas so large an army meant -administrative ability of a very high order and the discharge of an -immense amount of thankless labour. He has done his work to the high -satisfaction of the Government of Canada, whose principal military -adviser he has been. It showed its appreciation of his services by -insisting on retaining him, though the Imperial Government repeatedly -expressed a desire to recall him for service in Great Britain or France. -The details of his career are as follows:—Major-General Willoughby -Garnons Gwatkin, C.B., C.M.G., born August 11, 1859; was appointed -Lieutenant Manchester Regiment May 10, 1882; Adjutant, Manchester -Regiment, April 18, 1888, to April 17, 1892; Captain, Manchester -Regiment, January 17, 1890; Major, Manchester Regiment, April 7, 1900; -Brevet Lieut.-Colonel, January 6, 1904; Brevet Colonel November 20, -1907; Major-General, October 21, 1914.

(Mobilization) H.Q. of Army, October 15, 1902, to October 31, -1903; Director of Operations and Staff Duties (General Staff Officer 2nd -Grade) Canadian Militia, October 5, 1905, to October 20, 1909; General -Staff Officer 1st grade Eastern Command, March 5, 1910, to February 28, -1911; General Staff Officer (Mobilization) 1st Grade Militia H.Q., -Canada, July 14, 1911, to October 31, 1913; Chief of the General Staff -and 1st Military Member of the Militia Council, Dominion of Canada, -November 1, 1913. General Gwatkin is the fourth son of the late -Frederick Gwatkin of New Square, Lincoln’s Inn, London, W.C., and Grove -House, Twickenham, and Louisa Isabella, younger daughter of the Rev. -Ambrose Stapleton, vicar of East Budleigh, Devonshire. He was educated -at Shrewsbury School, at King’s College, Cambridge, and at R.M.C., -Sandhurst. In 1916 he was created C.B. (Civil), C.M.G. in 1918 and Order -of St. Sava of Serbia in 1918. - - * * * * * - -=Ross, John Theodore, B.A.= (Quebec), is one of the leading capitalists -of the city.

He was educated at Quebec High School, -at Morrin College and at McGill University, Montreal, from which latter -institution he graduated with the degree of B.A. in 1883. He entered the -wholesale business firm of his father, known as John Ross & Co., in -1884, and was admitted to full partnership in 1887, continuing in this -capacity until 1894 when the firm was liquidated. Since then he has been -widely engaged in financial and commercial operations. He was elected -Vice-President of the Quebec Bank in 1897 and President in 1908. On its -amalgamation with the Royal Bank of Canada some years later he became a -Director of the latter institution.

He was -educated at Cornwall Public School, Montreal High School (where he won -the Murray Medal for proficiency and the Governor-General’s Medal for -literature and history) and McGill University, from which he graduated -in 1885 with the degree of B.A., first class honors in English -literature and history, and the Shakespeare gold medal. During his -student days he took up the calling of journalism and joined the -editorial staff of the “Montreal Star” in 1881. In 1883 he was entrusted -with the post of editor-in-chief of the “Montreal Weekly Star,” and at -the same time edited the “McGill University Gazette.” In 1886 he went to -Ottawa and accepted the post of editor of the “Journal” of that city. In -1887, when the leaders of the Conservative government founded the -“Toronto Empire” as chief organ of the party, he was appointed assistant -editor and has ever since made Toronto his home. In 1891, he was -appointed managing editor of the “Empire” and continued in that capacity -until its amalgamation with the “Mail” in 1895. In the latter year, he -entered the growing field of trade journalism with Col. J. B. Maclean, -and until 1902 edited the “Printer and Publisher” and the “Dry Goods -Review.” In 1902, he joined the staff of the “Mail and Empire” as -editorial writer, and early in 1903, when Mr. J. S. (now Sir John) -Willison reorganized the “Toronto News,” he became news editor of that -publication, and helped to make the paper temporarily famous for the -literary distinction and importance of its news columns. From the outset -of the political career of the late Sir James Whitney, Mr. Colquhoun had -been his close personal friend and adviser. One of the pledges of that -statesman while leader of the opposition in the Ontario Legislature was -a reorganization of the educational system from top to bottom, and -shortly after his elevation to the post of Prime Minister in 1905 he -appointed a Royal Commission of distinguished men to enquire into the -affairs of the provincial university at Toronto. At the request of Mr. -Whitney, Mr. Colquhoun accepted the position of secretary of the -commission, and had much to do with the drafting of its report, which -proved to be one of the most important documents of its kind produced in -this country. In recognition of his services in this capacity, the -University conferred on him the honorary degree of LL.D. in 1906. In the -latter year he was also appointed Deputy Minister of Education, a -position he still holds, and was largely instrumental in putting into -effect the reforms promised by Sir James Whitney. In 1908, he was -offered and declined the post of Chief Librarian of the city of Toronto. -Among the earlier positions that he held was that of Chairman of the -Press Committee of the British Association when it met at Toronto in -1897, an occasion which brought to Canada many of the great scientists -of that day. He was also elected President of the Canadian Press -Association for 1906-7. Both before and since his retirement from -journalism, Mr. Colquhoun has been a frequent contributor, chiefly on -historical themes, to magazines and reviews, including “The Canadian -Magazine,” “The University Magazine,” “The British Empire Review,” and -“Queen’s Quarterly.” On the political history of the provinces of -Canada, he is a recognized authority; and his published works include -“The History of Canadian Press Association”; the volume on the Fathers -of Confederation in “The Chronicles of Canada,” and “Memoir of Senator -Gowan, C.M.G.” (which he edited).

He was made Lieutenant-Colonel, August, 1914 (Colonel in -April, 1917), and Officer Commanding the Hydrological Corps, in which -capacity he had charge of the purification of the water supply at the -new Valcartier Military Camp during the mobilization of the First -Contingent. He was sent to England as adviser in sanitation in charge of -water purifications with the first contingent. While on Salisbury Plain, -he was useful in getting the remainder of the contingent inoculated -against typhoid; in installing a laboratory for the control of -cerebro-spinal meningitis, and in training men in the purification of -water. Colonel Nasmith was sent to France in March, 1915, as O.C. No. 5 -(Canadian) Mobile Laboratory, where he conceived the idea of a mobile -filter unit for purifying any water supply, which has since been adopted -by the war office, and is now in general use among the British armies in -France, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere. He was present at the second battle -of Ypres, and saw the gas being discharged by the Germans for the first -time. He diagnosed its composition correctly, and reported it to General -Army Headquarters, recommending the use of masks to cover the face and -nose, saturated with hyposulphite of soda to absorb the gas. These were -adopted until experience enabled a more perfect type to be elaborated. -Other recommendations made by him in regard to gas and water -purification were also adopted. He was the representative of Canada on -the War Allies Sanitary Commission which met in Paris during 1916.

After a -distinguished career at Quebec Seminary and Laval University, he -graduated from the latter institution of learning in 1873 with the -degree of LL.L., receiving the higher honor of LL.D. in 1878. Mr. -Justice Flynn has been prominent in Provincial politics during a public -life of some thirty years, during which time he was M.L.A. for the -constituencies of Gaspé and Nicolet respectively, and held office -successively as Commissioner of Crown Lands, Minister of Railways, -Solicitor-General and Commissioner of Public Works in various -Liberal-Conservative Administrations; from May, 1896, to May, 1897, he -was Prime Minister of Quebec.

At present he holds the position of -police magistrate for the town, but has been identified with public -affairs in various capacities for some years past. While still -comparatively young in years, he built up a successful position in the -business world, and at the time of his appointment to his legal office -in 1918, filled the office of President of the Whitby Board of Trade. He -has also taken an active part in municipal affairs, and held the office -of Mayor of the town for two terms. Another office which he has filled -with success is that of Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of -the town. It was while Mayor of Whitby that he became identified with -the movement to extend the scope and usefulness of the hydro-electric -system of Ontario. It was the desire of Sir Adam Beck and his chief -lieutenants that the system already so widely used for manufacturing, -municipal and domestic purposes should be augmented by a great network -of radial railways. Under Mayor Willis’s advice, the town of Whitby was -the first municipality in Ontario to avail itself of these proposals by -extending municipal support to a hydro-electric radial railway linking -up Toronto with the towns of Whitby, Markham and Port Perry; and it is -expected that the road when constructed and put in operation will do -much for the entire section immediately east of Toronto. Another local -enterprise which was in the main due to Mr. Willis’s progressive spirit -was the installing of a sewerage system, which was essential to the -establishment near the town of Whitby of a great provincial hospital for -the insane, which, during the war was turned over to the military -authorities, and was the largest soldiers’ hospital in the Dominion of -Canada. When the plans which Mr. Willis has done so much to promote are -carried out, Whitby will have a close suburban connection by electric -railway with Toronto, and it is expected will become an important -residential centre for the wealthier families of that city. When the -late Major Harper, who had formerly served as police magistrate, passed -away in 1918, the Attorney-General of Ontario appointed Mr. Willis his -successor; and the choice was applauded not merely locally, but in wider -circles where the activities of Mr. Willis for the development of Whitby -had rendered his name familiar. He is recognized as one of the most -forceful and progressive municipal authorities in Canada. In his younger -days he took an active interest in outdoor sports, such as foot racing, -cricket, baseball, and was secretary of the Whitby Curling Club for many -years, and took part as skip in many Tankard and friendly matches. He -has been from his youth a reader, and is one of the best posted men on -general and scientific subjects in his native town. It has been his -policy to strongly advocate any movement that would be for the good and -uplifting of the people as a whole; and he has often been heard to say: -“I wish I could do some lasting good for my fellow man, and leave the -world a little better than I found it. If I can do no permanent and -lasting good, I feel that I have lived in vain.” - - - - -[Illustration: ORVILLE B.

George Perry= (Brockville, Ont.), is one of the leading -public men of Canada, and a former cabinet minister. He was born on -March 31, 1859, at Eganville, Ont., and is of Irish descent. He was -educated at Iroquois and Morrisburg High Schools in the St. Lawrence -Valley. He early became identified with journalism, and as editor and -manager of the Brockville “Recorder,” made it one of the best known -provincial papers in the Dominion. An earlier newspaper enterprise of -his was the Morrisburg “Herald,” which he successfully conducted for -eleven years; and he was for a short time associate editor of the Ottawa -“Free Press.” As a young man, Mr. Graham became identified with the -organization of the Liberal party in his district, and was in great -demand as a platform speaker. Entry into public life was a logical -outcome of his career as a moulder of public opinion. During his -residence in Morrisburg, Ont., he was Reeve of the village and a member -of the County Council, and in 1894 the Liberals nominated him for the -riding of Dundas against no less an opponent than J. P. Whitney, -afterwards Prime Minister of Ontario. At the general elections for the -Legislature in 1898 he was Liberal candidate for Brockville, and was -more successful, securing election by a substantial majority. He at once -achieved a prominent position in the Legislature owing to his wit and -skill as a debater. Those were the days when Mr. Whitney was making his -long and ultimately successful fight for the overthrow of the Ross -Government, and the former contestants in the riding of Dundas -frequently crossed swords in debate. At the Legislative elections in -1902, Mr. Graham was re-elected for Brockville, though his party -suffered heavy losses elsewhere, and on November 25, 1904, on the -resignation of the late Hon. J. R. Stratton from the post of Provincial -Secretary, he was called to the cabinet as his successor. At the general -elections of the ensuing winter he was again returned for Brockville, -but the Ross Government, of which he was a member, was defeated. On -January 25, 1907, the Liberal caucus elected him leader of His Majesty’s -loyal opposition, but he served in that capacity for only one session of -the Legislature. In August of 1907, Sir Wilfrid Laurier induced him to -abandon the provincial field, and offered him the portfolio of Railways -and Canals in the Federal cabinet. He was sworn in as a member of the -Privy Council on August 29, and on September 18, 1907, was elected by -acclamation to the House of Commons for the Federal riding of -Brockville. He continued as Minister of Railways for four years, and -took an active part in the organization of his party in Ontario. In -September, 1911, the Laurier administration was defeated at the polls. -Mr. Graham was elected in a by-election in South Renfrew, and for the -next six years continued to sit in opposition as the desk-mate of Sir -Wilfrid Laurier. He did not seek re-election at the general elections of -1917, but has retained active connection with the Liberal party, and in -many quarters his name was urged as the fitting successor of Sir Wilfrid -Laurier in the party leadership. In addition to his journalistic and -political activities, Mr. Graham is widely known in connection with -fraternal insurance organizations. He was Grand Master of the Ancient -Order of United Workmen for two years, and for a considerable period a -member of the Finance Committee of that body. He is President of the -Travellers’ Life Assurance Company of Canada, a Director of the Canada -Foundries and Forging Company, Vice-President of Delaney Forge Company, -and President of the “Recorder” Printing Company. In religion he is a -Methodist. In 1882, he married Carrie, a daughter of Nelson Southworth, -Morrisburg, Ont., and had two sons, Captain Perry M., who died some -years ago, and Captain W. N., who was killed in the Great War. - - * * * * * - -=Leonard, Lieutenant-Colonel Reuben Wells=, Corps of Guides (St. -Catharines, Ont.). Born at Brantford, Ont., February 21, 1860, son of -the late Francis Henry Leonard (one time Reeve of the town of Brantford -and Warden of the County of Brant) and Elizabeth, daughter of the late -Captain Richard Catton. He was educated at the Brantford Collegiate -Institute and Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, from which -latter he graduated in 1883, winning the Silver Medal. -Lieutenant-Colonel Leonard has had a wide experience in several branches -of his chosen profession of engineering, having occupied positions of -increasing importance in railroad, hydro-electric, and mining -development. After completing his education in 1883, he took service -with the Canadian Pacific Railway as instrumentman on surveys and -resident engineer on construction of the Lake Superior Division. At the -outbreak of the North-West Rebellion in 1885 he was appointed Staff -Officer of Transport, and served in other capacities during the -uprising. After the Rebellion he re-entered the service of the Canadian -Pacific as engineer of surveys and construction in Manitoba and Ontario. -From 1886 until 1890, he was chief engineer of the Cumberland Railway -and Coal Co., in Nova Scotia. 1890-1891 he was again with the Canadian -Pacific Railway on surveys of important branch lines in Ontario, Quebec, -and British Columbia. In 1891-92 he was engaged in railway contracting. -In 1892-93 he was in charge of the construction of the first -hydro-electric development at Niagara Falls, Ont., for the Park and -River Railway Co. In 1893-94 he was engineer-in-charge of railway -surveys for the Canadian Pacific Railway. From 1895 until 1899 he was -chief engineer and manager of construction of the St. Lawrence and -Adirondack Railway, and of the Montreal and Ottawa Short Line (C.P.R.) -respectively, and consulting engineer for the Canadian Rutland Railway. -His next step was again in the field of mining engineering, being -engaged as engineer with the Lake Superior Corporation in developing -their iron and nickel mines in the Sudbury and Michipicoten districts. -In 1900, he returned to railroading as chief engineer and manager of -construction of the Cape Breton Railway. From 1902 to 1904, he was -engineer in charge of the construction of a hydro-electric plant at -DeCew Falls, near St. Catharines, for the Hamilton Cataract Power Co., -and in 1905-06 he was engaged in similar work at Kakabeka Falls, near -Fort William, for the Kaministiquia Power Co. In 1905, when silver was -first discovered in Northern Ontario, Colonel Leonard was one of the -first prospectors in the Cobalt district and staked the Buffalo mine, -and in the following year he acquired a controlling interest in the -Coniagas mine, and promoted the Coniagas Mines, Ltd., of which he is -President. This mine has been one of the largest and most consistent -producers of silver ore in the rich Cobalt district, and during its ten -years of operation has produced 25,000,000 ounces of silver, and is -still one of the few silver-producing mines of Canada. In 1908 a -subsidiary company—the Coniagas Reduction Co., Ltd., was formed -primarily for the purpose of treating ore from the Coniagas mine, but a -large custom trade has also been developed in the smelting and reduction -of cobalt ores for the production of silver and lesser products. In -1911, Lieutenant-Colonel Leonard was selected by the Dominion Government -for the position of Chairman of the National Transcontinental Railway -Commission at Ottawa, with jurisdiction over the construction of the -Government Railway from Moncton, N.B., to Winnipeg. This position he -occupied, at much personal sacrifice, until the practical completion of -the railway in 1914. Next to the mining industry, Colonel Leonard’s -principal interest would appear to lie in the direction of the steel -business, as his name appears on the directorate of several industries -engaged in the manufacture of steel and steel products. He has recently -promoted the organization of a new steel company, under the name of -Electric Steel and Engineering Ltd., which is an amalgamation of several -engineering enterprises in which he is interested, and whose different -lines of manufacture he found could be co-ordinated to advantage. He is -also a Director of the Toronto General Trusts Corporation. It may be -said here that he is one of those men of business who are not content to -be Directors in name only, but who believe in the principle that a -Director should take a part in the actual direction of the enterprises -with which he permits his name to become identified, and in conformity -with this rule he has consistently declined to accept office as Director -of commercial enterprises when he felt he was not in a position to give -the necessary time and attention to the affairs of the business. Colonel -Leonard has always taken a keen interest in the welfare and advancement -of the engineering profession, and is an active member and past -vice-president of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers and the -Canadian Mining Institute; President Engineering Institute of Canada, -1919-20. He has always been the friend of the young engineer, and ever -ready to lend a hand in helping him along the road to success. He is -also a past corresponding member of the Council of the Institute of -Mining and Metallurgy, London, England, and a member of the American -Institute of Mining Engineers. Member Institution of Civil Engineers, -London, England. In spite of his many business activities, he finds time -to devote to educational interests, and is a close student of all -questions involving the well-being and good government of the State. He -is a true Imperialist and advocate of closer unity between the component -parts of the Empire; and any movement which promises to assist in -attaining this end has his moral and financial support. He is a member -of the Board of Governors of the University of Toronto; the Kingston -School of Mining; Wycliffe College, Toronto; and Ridley College, St. -Catharines, Ont. He has recently established scholarships under “The -Leonard Foundation” in several of these Institutions to assist in the -education and support of sons of clergymen, school teachers and officers -and men of the Canadian and Imperial army and navy who require -assistance in order to complete their education. His other benefactions -are widely distributed and unheralded, and it is safe to say that few -appeals on behalf of deserving objects are made to him in vain. A -characteristic which strikes one forcibly is his ability to quickly -analyse and grasp the essentials of things, and this faculty enables him -to get through a large amount of work in a limited time, and also to -readily appreciate the merits or demerits of things, whether in -business, politics or the various public movements with which he may be -asked to become identified. Since the outbreak of war, he has given much -of his time and means to patriotic movements and other work tending to -promote Canada’s whole-hearted participation in the war. -Lieutenant-Colonel Leonard is in command of No. 2 Detachment, Corps of -Guides. He is a member of the Mount Royal Club, Montreal; Rideau and -Country Clubs, Ottawa; National Club and the Engineers’ Club, Toronto, -and the Tourilli Fish and Game Club, Quebec. He is an ardent advocate of -all outdoor sports, especially in the woods. He is an independent in -politics, and in religion an Anglican. Married in 1889 to Kate Rowlands, -daughter of the late John Rowlands, of Kingston, Ont. - - * * * * * - -=Hare, Rev. John James, M.A., Ph.D.=, Principal Emeritus of Ontario -Ladies’ College (Whitby, Ont.), is one of the most distinguished of -Canadian educationists. He was born in Nepean township, Ontario, on -October 3, 1847, the son of Robert and Barbara (Shillington) Hare. His -early education was received in the public school of his district, and -later he entered Victoria University, at that time situated at Cobourg, -Ont., with a view to entering the Methodist ministry. He graduated in -1873 with the degree of B.A., winning first prizes in metaphysics, -Hebrew, Scripture and debating, also a scholarship for highest standing -in his sophomore year. In 1876, he qualified for the M.A. degree of his -alma mater, and subsequently was awarded the degree of Ph.D. by the -Illinois Wesleyan University. Incidentally he had served as a public -school teacher for two years, and was ordained for the ministry in 1873. -For one year he served as a pastor at London, Ont., but in 1874 was -appointed principal of the Ontario Ladies’ College at Whitby, Ont., an -institution founded for the education of Methodist young women, but by -no means exclusively denominational. That position Dr. Hare held -continuously for forty-one years. In 1915 he resigned, and was appointed -principal emeritus. In 1879 he became governor as well as principal. In -the conduct of the institution he has shown rare executive ability, and -to this asset, combined with his indefatigable energy and spirit of -devotion to the interests of his pupils, the great success of the -college is attributable.

He also took up the study of law at Osgoode -Hall, Toronto, and received the degree of LL.B. at Toronto University in -1889. For a time he was teacher of mathematics at Barrie Collegiate -Institute, but was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1893, and in the same -year to that of British Columbia in 1895. He first practised in Fergus, -Wellington County, Ont., for two years, and in 1895 removed to Victoria, -B.C., where he built up a large and important practice. He was created a -King’s Counsel in 1901, and in that year represented the province of -British Columbia in the famous Deadman’s Island case. In 1903, he was -one of the counsel in the enquiry into the Columbian and Western land -subsidies, a matter which attracted a great deal of attention on the -Pacific Coast at that time. In 1903, he had the honor of being -associated as counsel with the late Hon. Edward Blake, K.C., and the -late Christopher Robinson, K.C., in representing the Dominion of Canada -before the joint high commission on the Alaskan Boundary dispute, which -sat in London, England.

He is a -man of strong and striking personality as well as of the highest -judicial attainments, and in many quarters it has been suggested that he -leave the bench to enter political life, which, however, holds out no -attraction for him. When in private practice he was a Liberal, and for a -time held the position of President of the Victoria Liberal Club. He is -a member of the Rideau Club, Ottawa, Ottawa Country Club, Union Club, -Victoria, B.C., Vancouver Club.

At the general -elections for the Ontario Legislature in June, 1914, he was the -candidate of his party for the riding of Ottawa West, and succeeded in -defeating his opponent, ex-Mayor Ellis, a strong candidate, by a safe -majority. As a member of the opposition he has proved most useful, his -counsel being especially valued in committee work, and in the party -caucus. He has also taken an active interest in military affairs, and as -a young man served with the 43rd Regiment, Ottawa, and Carleton Rifles. -When the war broke out in 1914, he decided to resume military service, -and qualified as an officer in the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, which -sent many recruits to the front. He is a Methodist in religion, and a -charter member of the Laurentian Club, Ottawa, and his chief recreation -is horsemanship. On June 21, 1899, he married Katherine, daughter of -Thomas J. Lynton, Ottawa, and has three sons, George Charles, Thomas -Lynton, and Herbert Russell Hurdman.

He was educated at the public and high schools of -Hawkesbury, Ont., and as a lad of nineteen went into the insurance -business as an agent for the New York Life Insurance Company at Ottawa. -He proved one of the most successful writers of policies that this -country has produced, and in 1904 made the Canadian record for his -company by obtaining one hundred and seven applications for insurance in -the space of thirty-five days. He was appointed Superintendent of -Agencies for the company, and continued in that position until 1907. In -that year the International Land and Lumber Company and the British -Canadian Industrial Company were organized, and he was connected with -them from their inception. Under his energetic and enterprising -direction, they have developed a large and substantial business. In -politics Mr. Bates is a Conservative, and in religion a Methodist.

Mr. and Mrs. Bates reside -at 248 O’Connor Street in the capital. - - * * * * * - -=Rose, George Maclean=, President and Manager of the Hunter-Rose -Company, Limited, Toronto, comes of a family which has been identified -with the printing and publishing industry in Canada since the -pre-Confederation era. He was born at the city of Quebec on October 30, -1865, the son of the late George Maclean Rose and his wife, Margaret -Levack Manson, both natives of Caithness, Scotland. Sir Oliver Mowat, -the famous Liberal statesman, who was for nearly a quarter of a century -Prime Minister of Ontario, and held other very important public offices, -was a cousin of the late Mrs. Rose. The subject of this sketch was -educated at the Model School and the Wellesley School, Toronto, and -later took a course at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, with a -view to embarking in a career of scientific agriculture, a project -subsequently abandoned. He began his business career with the Williams, -Greene & Rome Company, Ltd., manufacturers of men’s wear at Kitchener -(then Berlin), Ont., and became secretary and a director of the company. -Severing connection with the enterprise, he went to New York, and was -engaged in business there for ten years, returning to Canada in 1902 to -join the Hunter-Rose Company, established many years previously by his -father. He acted as secretary of the company for two years, and in 1904 -became President and Manager, the position he holds to-day. The -Hunter-Rose Company is one of the historic commercial concerns of -Canada. Its founder, the late George Maclean Rose, was a native of Wick, -Caithness, who, as a young man in Scotland acquired complete familiarity -with every phase of the printing and publishing business. In the middle -fifties he came to Canada, and settled in Montreal, but in 1857 went to -London, Ont., and in company with the late Hamilton Hunter established -the printing firm of Hunter & Rose. This partnership was, however, -short-lived, and in 1859, Mr. Rose joined forces with the late Samuel -Thompson, of Toronto, who had received the contract to execute the -printing for the parliament of Canada. This necessitated removal to -Quebec, at that time capital of Canada. It shortly became necessary for -Mr. Thompson to retire from business, and to carry on the work of -government printing Mr. Rose formed the firm of Hunter-Rose & Company, -in the ancient capital, taking into partnership Robert Hunter, a -practical accountant. The completion of the parliament buildings at -Ottawa in 1865 and the establishment of the government there, -necessitated removal to that city, which remained the headquarters of -the firm for several years. Confederation, in the meantime, having -become an established fact, Hon. John Sandfield Macdonald, the first -Premier of Ontario, induced Mr. Rose to establish a branch in Toronto, -to take charge of the provincial printing. In 1871, Mr. Rose came to -Toronto to reside permanently, and since that time the name Hunter-Rose -& Company has been identified with the commercial life of Toronto. In -1877, Mr. Robert Hunter died, and Mr. Rose became sole proprietor. The -firm was incorporated under its present name in 1895. Government -printing ceased to be the staple of its business many years ago, and -book publishing became a very important part of its activities. From its -plant have been issued many reprints of the leading authors of the past -and present century. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that the first -volume of “Representative Canadians,” edited by the late George Maclean -Rose, was published in 1886. The present head of the company, who has -carried on the historic traditions of the firm, is a member of the -Canadian Manufacturers Association and of the Toronto Board of Trade. As -a young man, he took a deep interest in military matters, and was a -Lieutenant in the 48th Highlanders of Toronto, when that regiment was -first established. He was also a lacrosse enthusiast, and played with -the old Ontarios of Toronto and the Crescents of Brooklyn, N.Y. His -present recreation is golf, and he is a member of the Ontario Club, the -Simcoe Club, the Lakeview Golf Club, and the Ontario Jockey Club. In -religion he is a Unitarian, and in politics independent. - - - - -[Illustration: CHARLES M. BOWMAN -Southampton] - - - - -=Blair, Lieutenant James K.= (Ottawa, Ont.), who was killed in action at -the Somme October 2, 1916, was born September 11, 1890, at Truro, Nova -Scotia, the only son of Lieutenant-Colonel H. C. Blair, Inspector of -Customs, Ottawa, and Grace Ewart Blair. He received his education in the -common schools of Truro, and was a commercial traveller when he enlisted -at Saskatoon as a private on the outbreak of the war. He was married -early in 1916 to Dulcie, daughter of Captain Brooks of the Indian Army, -and Mrs. Brooks, and is survived by one son, James K. Blair, whom he -never saw. After enlisting, he trained with the 28th Battalion in -Winnipeg, and on receiving a commission in February, 1915, joined the -46th Battalion at Moose Jaw, and left for England with a draft from the -battalion in July, 1915. He qualified at Hythe as a musketry instructor, -and was attached in that capacity to the 32nd Reserve Battalion, where -he served for one year. He went to France on August 2, 1916, where he -joined the 2nd Canadian Entrenching Battalion, and then went to his old -battalion the 28th. The following extract from a letter written by the -Commanding officer of the 28th is a tribute to Lieutenant Blair’s -military abilities:—“Poor Jimmie Blair never had a chance to do more -than show he had the grit to stick the worst the Boche could do. He -joined us when we were on our way south, and fitted easily into the very -happy family our mess then was. He did what he had to do well, and gave -entire satisfaction. As our Battalion was then in a high state of -efficiency, that is a good recommendation to any officer. In the big -attack of September 15, we only took in half our officers, and -Lieutenant Blair was left out, so he did not get the chance which two of -the officers of his company got, and which resulted in the award to them -of the M.C. We went in again on September 24-25, and Blair’s platoon was -in the centre, and was subjected to very severe shelling during all of -which he carried himself coolly and bravely, and came through in good -shape. After a couple of days back we went in again on another sector to -hold. Blair’s company was in Kenora trench, just where it joins Regina -trench, of which so much has been said in the papers. This was really a -communication trench, but had to be held on account of the command it -gave us for future operations. It was, however, badly enfiladed, and we -had practically all our casualties there. The battalion we relieved had -just captured it, and it was subjected to a good deal of shell fire, and -it was during one of these poor Blair was killed by a small shell which -landed in the bay in which he was posted. I gave orders that his body be -brought out for burial, but a heavy rain and resulting mud, together -with the exhausted condition of our men, made this impossible. He was, -therefore, given a soldier’s grave near where he fell, and on ground -which should be considered sacred to Canadians, as many of our officers -and men had fallen, and have fallen since, before Regina trench was -finally captured. He died, therefore, as so many have, just ”holding the -line,“ nothing spectacular; just a matter of duty well and bravely done -under very trying circumstances. He gave promise of doing well, but he -was not given the opportunity which the real attack gives. His people, -however, will have the satisfaction of knowing that he did his duty -well, bore himself bravely in the face of fire, and died like a -soldier.” Another officer friend. Captain Quinan, writes:—“I well -remember Jim when he left England for France, as full of spirits as old -Allan Richardson before him, who, too, has been killed. Jim was full of -life, and only asked for a chance to help to avenge his chum. He will, I -assure you, always remain in my memory as ‘Jim,’ a very fine and gallant -gentleman.” He was a Presbyterian and a Liberal Conservative. Lieutenant -Blair was very proud of the Canadians, and in a letter to his parents, -said;—“The Canadians have no black marks against them, and do not -intend to have.” He had a high reputation both as an instructor and as a -soldier. One of Lieutenant Blair’s ancestors, Captain William Blair, -fought at the siege of Louisburg in 1745, and his father joined the -militia. - - * * * * * - -=Bell, Clarence A.

He is publisher of the “Circuit Guide,” a -compendium issued half-yearly for the use of judges and lawyers.

But the safety-valve of his unusually -active life is probably to be found in the even balance he maintains -between mental, social, and religious pursuits on the one hand, and an -ardent—always ardent and active in everything—love of wild animals, -wild birds, wild flowers, camping, woodmanship and canoeing, at which he -is an expert. All his available holidays are spent near nature’s heart -at his summer house in the northern part of Peterborough County where he -breathes in ozone, puts on tan, relaxes and strengthens his muscles, and -augments his optimism in preparation for the following season of busy -city life.

In the spring of 1918, Sir William Hearst, Prime -Minister of Ontario, invited him to enter the Ontario cabinet as -Minister of Agriculture, a portfolio he had himself filled for some -months after the death of the late Hon. James Duff. This necessitated a -by-election in the summer of that year. Mr. Henry was again elected for -East York, for the third time in five years. In that office he has -pursued a vigorous progressive policy, not only with regard to the -development of agriculture in the outlying districts, but in stimulating -production in the older settlements. He has also been a leader in the -Good Roads Movement; he is a member of the Toronto and York Roads -Commission, and is Secretary-Treasurer of the Ontario Good Roads -Association. He was also a prominent figure in the All-Canada Roads -Conference held at Quebec under the Presidency of Sir Lomer Gouin in -May, 1919. In addition to conducting a farm of a model character, Mr. -Henry is President of the Farmers’ Dairy Company, Ltd., of Toronto.

He was born at Caradoc, Middlesex -County, in 1864, the son of A. M. and Sarah (Northcott) McEvoy—his -father coming of a family in County Down, Ireland. He was educated at -the Strathroy Collegiate Institute, the University of Toronto, and the -Ontario Law School, taking the B.A. degree in 1892 and LL.B. in 1893. As -a student, he was a marked man among the faculty, because of his -originality of mind and intellectual power, and on graduation was -elected a Fellow in Political Science at Toronto University, and in that -capacity taught Canadian constitutional history there. On the retirement -of Prof. W. J. Ashley, who had been at the head of the Political Science -Department, he was placed in temporary charge pending the arrival of -Prof. Mavor, the new incumbent from Scotland. He afterward continued as -lecturer under Prof. Mavor for one year. At this period he was a -prolific writer of pamphlets and magazine essays. He is the author of -“The Ontario Township: a History of the Growth of Municipal Institutions -in the Province,” printed under Government auspices as the first of the -Toronto University studies in political science. He also wrote an “Essay -on Currency and Banking,” which was awarded the Ramsay Scholarship and -printed at the request of the leading bankers of Canada. Another essay -of his on “Karl Marx’s Theory of Value” was declared by Prof. Ashley to -be the ablest exposition of the abstract theory of value that it had -been his good fortune to have heard or read on any occasion. At the -invitation of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, he -contributed a series of articles to their publication, “Annals,” upon -subjects of economic and historical importance—to Canadians especially. -On giving up his academic career in the middle nineties he returned to -Middlesex County, and settled down to the practice of law in London, -Ont., where he has ever since resided. As a barrister, he has been -identified with many important cases. He was associated with the late E. -F. B. Johnston, K.C., in the defence of Gerald Sifton, charged with the -murder of his father, which ran through three trials and finally -resulted in the acquittal of the accused. He was also associated with -Mr. Johnston and Mr. W. R. (now Justice) Riddell, K.C., as one of the -counsel for Hon. J. R. Stratton in the Royal Commission to investigate a -charge of attempted bribery, preferred by the late R. R. Gamey, M.P.P. -for Manitoulin. This was a political _cause célèbre_, and resulted in a -victory for the defence. For a quarter of a century, Mr. McEvoy has been -intimately associated with the fortunes of the Liberal party in his -district. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the House of Commons in -East Middlesex in the general elections of 1904, and for London in the -general elections of 1911. At the Ontario elections of 1908 he also -contested the London seat against Sir Adam Beck, but was defeated. Mr. -McEvoy is a strong advocate of the tariff-for-revenue-only principle and -of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, and is a member of the Ontario Club, -Toronto, a headquarters of Liberalism. In 1894 he married a daughter of -John Anderson, of East Williams, Ont. He has one son, Captain A. M. -McEvoy, of the C.E.F., and one daughter, Miss Gladys, at home. - - * * * * * - -=Chambers, Col. Ernest John.= Col. Ernest John Chambers, Gentleman Usher -of the Black Rod, was appointed to that position March 1st, 1904. He is -the son of Edward Thomas and Louisa Percy (Davies) Chambers and was born -in Penkridge, Staffordshire, England, April 16th, 1862, coming to Canada -in 1870. He was educated at the Prince Albert School, St. Henri, Quebec, -and the Montreal High School. Col. Chambers belongs to the same family -as Captain Chambers, R.N., who commanded the flotilla on Lake Champlain -during the Revolutionary War with the now United States of America. -Captain Chambers, afterwards Admiral, served as a midshipman under -Captain Cook at the great siege and taking of Quebec. Another of the -same family was an officer in the British Army, took part in most of the -fighting in the Niagara Peninsula, 1812-13, and was taken prisoner. -When, February 3, 1916, fire destroyed the Parliament Buildings at -Ottawa, the Black Rod, the emblem of authority carried by the Gentleman -Usher of the Black Rod, was burnt, and Col. Chambers was ordered to -procure a new one. The new emblem, which was subscribed for by the -members of the United Kingdom Branch of the Empire Parliamentary -Association, is similar to the Black Rods of the House of Lords and the -Senates of Australia and South Africa, is made of ebony with the “Lyon” -crest, butt piece and knob of solid gold, and bears wreaths of maple -leaves. The shield is engraved with the royal monogram, and the butt -piece contains a sovereign of the year 1904, when Col. Chambers was -appointed, and the coin is to pass to his family as an heirloom. In 1885 -Col. Chambers acted as field correspondent for the “Montreal Star” -during the Riel insurrection, and served as a volunteer galloper to -General Middleton at Batoche and Fish Creek, and wears the medal and -clasp, the Long Service Medal, and the Colonial Auxiliary Forces -Officers’ Decoration. He participated in the operations against Big -Bear’s band of Indians. In 1888-9 Col.

He is the author of many books on historical and -military subjects. He was connected with the Canadian Militia for many -years. When but a boy Col. Chambers commanded the Montreal High School -Cadet Rifles. Later, in 1902, he became Captain and Adjutant of the 6th -Fusiliers, Montreal, now the Grenadier Guards of Canada. In 1910 he was -appointed District Intelligence Officer, Montreal, with the rank of -Captain in the Corps of Guides and was promoted to Major in 1911, -Lieut.-Col. in 1915, Colonel in 1917. In August, 1914, at the outbreak -of the great war, Col. Chambers was appointed Censor at the Military -Headquarters in Ottawa, and July 15th, 1915, Chief Press Censor for -Canada, and continued to perform his duties as such. In the discharge of -his duties he proved an ideal officer, and his name was brought to the -attention of the Secretary of State for War for distinguished service. -August 31, 1898, Col. Chambers married Bertha Macmillan, of Kingston, -Ontario. He has one son and one daughter. He is a member of the Royal -Ottawa Golf, the Rivermead Golf and the Coulonge Fish and Game Clubs. -For recreation he indulges in shooting, fishing, yachting, and golf.

During the war he was for a short time on active service -overseas, and was honoured by his Majesty with the decoration of a -Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. -On January 10, 1899, General Elliot married a daughter of Dr. W. N. -Wickwire, of Halifax, N.S. Mrs. Elliot died in 1911, leaving four -children—Irene (b. 1900, died 1916), William (b. 1902), Aileen (b. -1905), Violet (b. 1908).

In religion he is an Anglican. - - * * * * * - -=Duclos, Arnold Willard, B.A., B.C.L., K.C.= (Ottawa, Ont.), -Deputy-Registrar of the Exchequer Court of Canada, is the son of Rev. R. -P. Duclos (Canadian) and Sophie Jeanrenaud, of Geneve, Switzerland. He -was born at Ste. Hyacinthe, Quebec, April 7, 1873, and was educated at -the High School and McGill University, Montreal, and graduated in arts -in 1894 and in law in 1897, and received the degrees of B.A. and B.C.L. -Called to the Quebec Bar in 1898, he practised in Montreal for a short -time and then left for Ottawa, where he practised with Mr. Henry Aylen, -K.C., under the firm name of Aylen & Duclos, barristers, advocates, -etc., and was associated with Mr. Aylen in several important cases in -the districts of Ottawa and Pontiac. He was made a King’s Counsel in -1911. In 1915, Mr. Duclos joined the legal firm of Devlin & Ste. Marie, -Hull, Quebec, and in 1918 assisted, in various professional capacities, -in the matter of exemptions in the Central Court of Appeal (Judge Duff). -In January, 1919, he started to practise alone, and in the following -June was appointed Deputy-Registrar of the Exchequer Court of Canada, -and Official Law Reporter of the Exchequer Court Reports. Mr. Duclos -practised before the Supreme and Exchequer Courts, and acted as counsel -in divorce matters before the Senate Divorce Committee. From 1905 to his -appointment as Deputy-Registrar, he was Assistant-Editor of Official -Reports of the Province of Quebec. He also revised and edited the sixth -edition of “How Canada is Governed,” by Sir J. G. Bourinot. Having -previously held various other offices, in 1918 Mr. Duclos was elected -President of the Ottawa Valley Graduates Society of McGill. He is an -officer of the University Club of Ottawa, President of St. Andrew’s -Church Choir; a Director of the Ottawa Choral Society, and a prominent -figure in the several musical organizations of Ottawa, and is a member -of the Rideau Lawn Tennis Club.

He is a Presbyterian in -religion, and his residence is 152 James Street, Ottawa, Ontario, -Canada. - - * * * * * - -=Hogg, William Drummond, K.C.=, barrister-at-law, Ottawa, is one of the -most distinguished figures in Canadian legal circles. He was born at -Perth, Lanark County, Ont., on February 29, 1848, the son of David Hogg, -a prominent furniture manufacturer of that town. His father was a son of -Lieut. David Hogg, of Edinburgh, Scotland, who became an officer of the -Royal Artillery, and in that capacity took part in the siege of -Copenhagen, and was present at the Battle of the Pyramids, the Battle of -the Nile, and other historic engagements of the Napoleonic wars. James -Hogg, the Scottish poet and the “Ettrick Shepherd” of “Noctes -Ambrosianæ,” was a relative. David Hogg (who died in 1882) came to -Canada just fifty years previously and became one of the pioneer -settlers of Lanark County, where, at the village of Perth, he -established the industry above-mentioned. The mother of the subject of -this sketch, Isabella Inglis, was a native of Clackmannan, Scotland, who -came to Canada in 1831 and settled with relatives in Lanark village. -These relatives were the Hall family, with branches in many parts of -Upper Canada, and whose name is identified with the early history of -such towns and cities as Peterboro, Sarnia, Brockville, and Perth. She -died in 1881. Mr. Hogg was educated at the High School, Perth, Ont., and -commenced the study of law in the office of E. G. Malloch, Crown -Attorney for Lanark County. Subsequently, he spent several years in the -offices of Paterson, Bain & Paterson, Toronto, and was called to the -Ontario Bar at Hilary term, 1874. He commenced practice at Ottawa in -1875 in partnership with the late Daniel O’Connor. For some years after -the death of the latter he practised alone, but on the admission of his -son to the Bar the firm became Hogg & Hogg. The practice of Mr. Hogg has -largely lain in the Supreme and Exchequer Courts of Canada, and he is a -recognized authority on questions of prerogative and constitutional law. -Though a Conservative in party leanings, he has never sought political -office, and one of the convincing proofs of his professional standing is -the fact that during the Liberal _régime_ of Sir Wilfrid Laurier his -services were frequently sought in connection with important and -intricate Government litigation. He is a member of St. Andrews Society -of Ottawa, and was for many years solicitor of that body. He has also -had the honour of being elected by his fellow barristers a Bencher of -the Law Society of Upper Canada and is now a life Bencher of that -Society, and was some years ago created King’s Counsel. When the late -James Bethune, K.C., of Toronto, a relative by marriage, passed away, a -long friendship of the most intimate personal, and professional -character was severed. Mr. Hogg holds very strong views on the subject -of temperance, and at various times held all the executive offices of -the Sons of Temperance. He married Louisa Agnes, daughter of Dr. Charles -Rattray, of Cornwall, Ont., and has two sons. His business address is -the Trust Building, Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=Gwynne, Brigadier-General Reginald John, C.M.G.=, -Deputy-Adjutant-General for Canada, Headquarters Staff, Ottawa, is a -native of the motherland, but has been intimately identified with the -marvellous development of Canada’s military power during the past few -years. He was born in London, England, on September 16, 1863, the son of -the late J. E. A. Gwynne, J.P., F.S.A., F.R.S., etc., of Folkington -Manor, Polegate, Sussex, England, and his wife, Mary Earle Purvis. He -was educated at Cheam, Eton, and Pembroke College, Oxford. After coming -to Canada, he became identified with the Active Militia of this country, -and commanded the 16th Horse, a Western organization, from 1907 to 1911. -In 1911 and 1912, he was in command of the 7th Cavalry Brigade, and in -1913 he was appointed to the Headquarters Staff at Ottawa as Director of -Cadet Services for the Dominion. In 1914, the year of the outbreak of -the great war, he became Director of Mobilization, with the rank of -Brevet-Colonel and in that capacity performed very important services in -connection with the organization of Canada’s overseas forces. In 1916, -he was promoted to the rank of Director-General of Mobilization, a post -he filled until the close of the war, and in the following year raised -to the rank of Brigadier-General. In 1919 he was appointed -Deputy-Adjutant-General for Canada. In recognition of his services he -was created by His Majesty a Companion of the Most Distinguished Order -of St. Michael and St. George. On May 16, 1894, he married Mary Mayall, -daughter of S. Taylor, J.P., and Janet Mayall Taylor, of Hathershaw, -Oldham, England, and has one daughter, Evelyn Violet. In religion he is -an adherent of the Church of England, and he is a member of the Rideau -Club, Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=King, Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie, C.M.G.= (Ottawa, Ont.), Leader of -the Liberal Party of Canada, was born at Berlin (now Kitchener), Ont., -on December 17, 1874, the son of John King, K.C., and his wife, Isabel -Grace, daughter of William Lyon Mackenzie. He was educated at Toronto -University (B.A. 1895; LL.B. 1896; M.A. 1897), the University of -Chicago, and Harvard University (A.M. 1898; Ph.D. 1909). He was one of -the first Canadian students to specialize in social science. For a time -he was a reporter on various Toronto newspapers. In 1900, when Sir -William Mulock, then Postmaster-General in the Laurier Cabinet, -established the Federal Department of Labour, Mr. King was chosen as -Deputy-Minister to organize it. In 1908, he was elected to the House of -Commons for the riding of North Waterloo, and subsequently was promoted -by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the post of Minister of Labour. He was -defeated, in company with the majority of Liberal candidates, in the -Federal elections in 1911. During his years of service in the Labour -Department, Mr. King was responsible for much important permanent -legislation with regard to industrial disputes, immigration, and the -opium traffic, and served on numerous Royal Commissions on matters -pertaining to Labour and to the problem of Oriental Immigration. On -different occasions, he represented Canada on important missions to -England. In 1909, he was appointed by the Imperial Government one of the -British representatives on the Anti-Opium Commission, which met at -Shanghai, China. In June of 1914, he was appointed Director of an -Investigation of Industrial Relations under the auspices of the -Rockefeller Foundation. In this position, he was instrumental in -bringing about better relations between employers and employees in the -coal mines of Colorado, where for years there had been serious -industrial strife. Throughout the period of the War, he rendered a like -service to several other of the largest industries in America engaged in -the production of war necessities. His researches were subsequently -incorporated in a volume entitled “Industry and Humanity,” which has -obtained international recognition as one of the most searching and -advanced considerations of an all-important question. Mr. King has -always maintained his connection with the Canadian Liberal Party. From -1911 to 1914, he was President of the Ontario Reform Association. In -December, 1917, he was the Liberal candidate in North York. At the -National Liberal Convention, held in Ottawa, August, 1919, he was -elected Leader of the Liberal Party in succession to the late Sir -Wilfrid Laurier. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and a -member of the following clubs—Rideau (Ottawa), Ontario (Toronto), -Century (New York), Harvard (Boston and New York). He is a Presbyterian -in religion and unmarried. - - * * * * * - -=Hanna (the late), Hon. William John, K.C., M.P.P.= (Sarnia Ont.), was -born in Adelaide township, County of Middlesex, Ont., on October 13, -1862, the son of George and Jane (Murdock) Hanna. The son of a farmer, -he was educated at the local schools and soon developed great capacity -as a student, and decided to put himself through for the legal -profession, graduating from Osgoode Hall, Toronto. He was called to the -Bar in 1890, and commenced the practice of law as a barrister at Sarnia, -Ont., eventually becoming head of the firm of H. Le Sueur and McKinley -of that place, and was created a K.C. in 1908. He soon became active -with the Conservative party, and in 1896 became the candidate of that -party for the House of Commons in West Lambton against the late Justice -Lister, and was defeated. His party still had confidence in him, and in -1900 he was again nominated for the Federal House and again defeated, -West Lambton always having been a great Liberal stronghold. Two years -later, in 1902, Mr. Whitney, then leader of the Opposition in Ontario, -in looking for a strong man to help him in Western Ontario, prevailed -upon Mr. Hanna to run for the Provincial Legislature and undertake the -work of organizing Western Ontario. He accepted, made an amazing -turnover in that portion of the Liberal stamping grounds, was elected, -and came to Toronto in 1905. When the Conservative government came into -power, Mr. Whitney invited him to become one of his cabinet, and he -chose the portfolio of Provincial Secretary, as in this position his -duties would neither come in contact or conflict with the position he -held as chief legal adviser to the largest oil corporation in Canada. -His public life was free from reproach of mixing up private interests -and friendships with his public duties, and as a legal practitioner an -extraordinary fact is recorded of him: that while representing one of -the most important corporations in the country, no case he had to handle -ever went into court; he had a singular and commendable theory that it -was the duty of a lawyer to keep his clients out of court. He was -elected again to the Ontario Legislature in 1908 and 1911, and appointed -a member of the Inter-Provincial Conference held at Ottawa in 1910. His -desire for a rest and to complete his great work in connection with his -pet hobby of prison reform led him to decline a portfolio when the -Hearst government was formed, although he remained in the cabinet as -minister without portfolio; and in connection with his services as a -public servant in Ontario, it may be said that, though not a -prohibitionist by conviction, he was the most efficient administrator of -the liquor license system that this country has ever known. He created -the machinery for the administration of the prohibition law, which has -proved as effective as was possible. His natural taste for politics did -not die out on his retirement from office, and he became one of Sir -Robert Borden’s most trusted private advisers on public policy. He -perfected a system of prison reform which, perhaps, is the most sensible -and humane prison system in the world; in fact, his ten years or more of -service given to the Province of Ontario as administrator of its public -charities, its license laws, its prisons, asylums, and other -institutions, constitute a record so progressive and enlightened that -the full value of his services will long continue to be recognized by -sociologists with a habit for research. In 1917, Sir Robert Borden -induced him to accept the post of Food Controller of Canada; and Mr. -Hanna at once applied himself to the task of organizing that department, -making his single aim the increase of production and the conserving of -foodstuffs in order to ensure a steady supply to the soldiers in the -field and the civilian populations of Britain, France and Italy. He -encountered great difficulties owing to the misapprehension of the -public, which demanded a reduction of prices, a measure that, by -increasing consumption, would have defeated the above-named object. He -however, refused to be moved by popular clamor, and in co-operation with -Mr. H. H. Hoover rendered great service toward relieving the overseas -populations of the danger of starvation. His exertions told on his -physique, and early in 1918 he resigned this office, leaving it well -organized for his successor. On the retirement of Mr. Walter C. Teagle -from the post of President of the Imperial Oil Company to become -President of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, Mr. Hanna was -elected his successor. In that capacity, he, in December, 1918, -introduced the Industrial Relationship plan in all the plants of the -Company from coast to coast, and also a series of sickness, death and -insurance benefits for workmen. Grief at the death of his only son, -Flight-Lieutenant Neil Hanna, who was killed by accident in Italy in -November, 1918, a few days after the signing of the armistice, -undermined his health, and on March 20, 1919, he died suddenly while on -a vacation in Georgia. When he was borne to his last resting-place at -Sarnia, his funeral was attended by public men from all parts of Canada -and many sections of the United States. The late Mr. Hanna was twice -married: first to Jean J. Neil, who died in 1891, leaving one son, the -late Neil Hanna; and secondly to Maud McAdams, by whom he had two -daughters. In religion he was a Methodist, and a member of many -important clubs and philanthropic organizations. - - * * * * * - -=Gale, Robert Henry=, one of the leading public men of Vancouver, of -which city he has been a resident for nearly a decade, is a native of -the city of Quebec. After an excellent business training in the ancient -capital of Canada, he went to British Columbia in 1910, and located at -Vancouver. He engaged in business as a contractor, and is at present -manager of the British Columbia Contractor’s Supply Company, Limited, -one of the largest enterprises of its kind in the province. Less than -five years ago he entered municipal politics, and was elected alderman -for 1916 and 1917. His services during his comparatively brief term on -the City Council made him so widely popular that his friends urged him -to run for Mayor in 1918. He accepted the nomination, and in January of -that year was elected over the retiring mayor, Mr. Malcolm McBeath, who -had sought re-election, by a majority of 300, the largest ever given to -a mayoralty aspirant in the history of Vancouver. In January, 1919, he -was re-elected by acclamation, it being generally conceded that it would -be futile for any rival to contest the office with him. In April of -1919, the provincial government of which Hon. John Oliver is the head -appointed him to the newly-created office of Public Utilities -Commissioner for British Columbia. By the tax-paying public, the -appointment was considered an admirable one, because of the high -capacity Mr. Gale had revealed as a municipal administrator. The Great -War Veterans’ Association, however, made a vigorous protest on the -ground that all new offices within the gift of the government should go -to returned soldiers. The Oliver administration deemed it necessary to -yield to the agitation, and cancelled the appointment of Mr. Gale, -accepting the nominee of the G.W.V.A., Lieutenant-Colonel Retallick, a -civil engineer by profession, who had rendered excellent service -overseas. Under the circumstances, the cancellation of the appointment -was in no sense a reflection on the character or capacity of Mr. Gale. -In politics the latter is a Liberal, but has never sought election as a -political candidate. During the general strike that was started in -Vancouver during the early summer of 1919 as an outgrowth of a general -strike at Winnipeg and other Western towns, Mr. Gale showed great tact -and firmness in handling a very difficult situation, so that the attempt -to disorganize municipal government and upset the present economic -system was of comparatively brief duration. - - * * * * * - -=Elson, John Melbourne= (St. Catharines, Ont.), was born in Byron, Ont., -Dec. 25th, 1880. Son of George and Charlotte (Wilkin) Elson. Educated at -London, Ont., Collegiate Institute and Western University of that city. -He entered journalism in 1903 as a member of the staff of the London -“News,” since merged, and thereafter his rise was rapid. Shortly joined -the staff of the Montreal “Gazette” and in 1905 during the late Joseph -Chamberlain’s Tariff Reform Campaign he went to Great Britain to study -political and economic conditions and wrote special articles thereon to -Canadian papers. On his return to Canada he became a member of the staff -of the Toronto “Globe” and in 1907 was appointed editor of the Toronto -“Sunday World.” Subsequently in 1909 he became Assistant Managing -Director of the World Publishing Company, and in 1910 purchased the St. -Catharines “Evening Journal” which he has ever since conducted. Mr. -Elson is a terse and gifted writer, with a wide fund of information. He -has travelled considerably on this continent and abroad, and is a gifted -public speaker. When acting as a newspaper correspondent he secured the -only interview granted by Baron Komura, the Japanese plenipotentiary, -who negotiated the peace treaty between Japan and Russia at Portsmouth, -New Hampshire, except the official statement given to the Associated -Press in the United States. Since becoming a resident of St. Catharines, -he has been active in public affairs, and in patriotic objects like the -Red Cross and the Canadian Patriotic Fund. He was elected Mayor of St. -Catharines, Jan. 1st, 1919, by an unusually large majority. He is a -member of the Council of the Board of Trade; and has served as President -of the St. Catharines Canadian Club, and was for seven years President -of the Lincoln County Liberal Association. He was formerly -Vice-President of the Niagara District Hydro Radial Union, and has been -an active member of Soldiers’ Aid Commission ever since it was organized -in St. Catharines in the early part of war.

Faulds of -Mount Brydges, Ont., and has two children: a son and a daughter. - - * * * * * - -=Gill, Robert=, of Ottawa, a gentleman well known to the seniors of -Canadian finance, is one of the best known citizens of the Canadian -capital, where he has resided since 1876. He has been especially -identified with the history of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, of which -institution he was a trusted officer for over forty years. He was born -at Dundas, Ont., on September 30, 1851, the son of William and Alison -(Sanderson) Gill, both his parents being of Scottish Border origin. He -was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto, and entered the service -of the Bank of Commerce at the age of nineteen. This was in 1870, and -the Bank was but three years old. In its expansion during the next few -years Mr. Gill actively participated; his promotions were rapid, and in -1874 he was appointed manager of the Galt, Ont., branch. In 1876 he was -transferred to the Ottawa branch, which was regarded as one of the most -important in the Bank of Commerce chain of agencies. In 1880 he was -appointed an Inspector of the Bank and retained that position until 1887 -when he was appointed Manager of the Ottawa branch, which had attained a -very important position in the financial life of the capital. Under his -regime it attained a wide expansion of business and he continued to -direct its affairs until 1911, when he retired on pension after -forty-one years’ service. During his career with the Bank of Commerce he -proved himself not only a practical banker with a complete understanding -of the needs of the business community, but an able thinker and essayist -on financial questions. Among his publications was one on the subject of -Post Office Savings Banks reprinted in the “Canadian Banker’s Journal” -for the use of the United States Currency Commission. Since his -retirement from active business he has lent his services and influence -to the promotion of patriotic and other objects of public welfare, and -during the late war was Vice-President of the Executive of the Ottawa -branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund. He is also a Life Governor and -Vice-President of St. Luke’s Hospital in that city, and in June, 1916, -was appointed a member of the Military Hospitals Commission. From 1899 -to 1906 he was honorary captain and paymaster of the Governor-General’s -Foot Guards. He is a prominent figure in the social life of his chosen -city, and in 1914 was elected President of the Rideau Club of Ottawa, a -position he still holds at the time of writing. He is also a member of -the following other clubs: Country (Ottawa), St. James (Montreal), York -(Toronto), Ottawa Golf, R.C.Y.C. (Toronto) and the Constitutional -(London, Eng.). He is a Past President of the Ottawa Literary and -Scientific Society, member of St. Andrew’s Society (Ottawa), the Royal -Canadian Institute and the Archæological Society of America, and a life -member of the Royal Colonial Institute (England). His recreations are -golf and angling; in religion he is an Anglican and in politics, a -Conservative. Mr. Gill was first married on September 20, 1881, to -Caroline, daughter of John Gilmour of “Marchmont,” Ottawa, by whom he -has one surviving son, Major Allan Gilmour Gill, who during the late war -commanded the 45th Battery, Canadian Field Artillery, overseas. This -lady passed away on April 19, 1884, and Mr. Gill married again on -November 20, 1899, Anna Louise, daughter of the late W. R. Thistle, by -whom he has three sons, Henry Robert Thistle, Evan William Thistle and -Francis Egan Thistle. His permanent residence is at 281 O’Connor Street, -Ottawa, and he has a summer residence, “Gillcairn,” at St. Andrew’s, -N.B. - - * * * * * - -=Wright, Alexander Whyte=, late Vice-Chairman Workmen’s Compensation -Commission of Ontario, was born in the township of Markham, York County, -Ontario, December 17, 1847, the son of George and Helen (Whyte) Wright, -who came to Canada from Glasgow, Scotland, some years previously. He was -educated in the public schools of New Hamburg, and after a short time in -a drug store, learned the woollen business, later engaging in the -woollen manufacturing business at Linwood, Waterloo County, and -subsequently in Preston, St. Jacobs and Guelph. At an early age he -joined the 29th Battalion, and responded to the call to arms for the -Fenian raid. When the first Riel rebellion broke out he joined the Red -River Expedition under General Sir Garnet Wolseley (afterwards British -Commander-in-Chief Earl Wolseley), serving as a sergeant. On returning -he rejoined the 29th Battalion as sergeant-major. In his later teens and -early twenties he had quite a local reputation as a fine lacrosse player -and fast runner. He had always been a great reader and taken an interest -in politics, and in 1873 left the woollen business to become a reporter -on the Guelph “Herald,” soon after being engaged as editor of the -Orangeville “Sun.” He next edited the Stratford “Herald,” then the -Guelph “Herald.” In 1878 he came to Toronto as editor and joint -publisher of “The National,” making it an ardent advocate of the -national policy, which the late Sir John A. Macdonald had adopted as his -platform after having been urgently pressed to do so by a deputation -consisting of the late Hon. Isaac Buchannan of Hamilton the late William -Wallace, M.P. for Simcoe, the late John Maclean (father of W. F. -Maclean, M.P. of the “World”), the late Thomas Cowan of Galt, the late -W. H. Fraser and Mr. Wright. During the election campaign, he wrote many -articles in the “National” that were extensively quoted by the -Conservative press. Shortly after his return to power, Sir John A. -Macdonald wrote Mr. Wright a letter in his own hand, in which he -said:—“I wish to thank you most sincerely for your splendid work in the -campaign which has just ended so satisfactorily. Your speeches and -writings did more, I believe, than anything else to convert the people -to protection. I only had the good fortune to hear you once—in the -amphitheatre—but I was then struck with your wonderful grasp of the -question and the extraordinary fund of information you possessed, and no -less struck with the admirable way in which you marshalled your facts -and presented your arguments. I hope to be able to express my gratitude -to you in a more substantial way, and will be delighted if you will give -me an opportunity to do so.” Mr. Wright returned to Guelph in 1879 as -editor and joint publisher of the “Herald.” The proposed Government -agreement for the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway did not meet -with Mr. Wright’s approval, and, as the “Herald” had always been a -Conservative paper, he gave up his interest in it, and wrote a series of -articles published in the “Mercury,” advocating its being built and -owned by the Government and paid for by a national currency—not notes -or promises to pay, but bills of different denominations, reading “Legal -tender for all debts, public and private.” He called a meeting to -explain his plan in Guelph city hall, which was packed. At the -conclusion of his address he moved a resolution calling on the -Government to adopt the plan. On sitting down, the late Mr. Donald -Guthrie—father of Hon. Hugh Guthrie, and at that time member of the -legislature—arose and said that he had attended for the purpose of -opposing the scheme, but Mr. Wright’s explanation had so clearly -demonstrated its feasibility and incalculable value that he was -converted to it, and had much pleasure in seconding the resolution. On -those in favour being asked to raise their hands, the audience, with the -exception of one man, rose to their feet and cheered for several -minutes. In thanking the audience for their almost unanimous endorsation -of this plan, Mr. Wright declared that the one exception was an -unlooked-for further compliment. For his independent thought and action -the “Mail” undertook to read Mr. Wright “out of the party.” Sir John A. -Macdonald wrote Mr. Wright, repudiating its assumed authority, -recognized his right to personal opinion, good standing as a -Conservative, and assured him of his personal friendship, and continuing -said: “I have read a report of your speech at Guelph, and, while I am -sorry you saw occasion to make it, I confess I was struck with the plan -you outline for the building of the railway. Possibly, under different -conditions it might be practicable, but do not think it could be carried -out now.” His ideas, however, were over a generation in advance of the -people’s desire for public ownership, and, as a consequence private -capitalists draw some $40,000,000 in bond interest and dividends yearly, -besides adding large sums to reserve, which the people pay; while the -people are out a huge land and money bonus, have neither the national -railway nor a national currency, but instead a huge octopus of -capitalists that dominates our legislation and is an ever-watchful and -valiant defender of “vested rights”—whether rightly or wrongly -obtained. Mr. Wright was invited to speak at the convention of the U.S. -Greenbackers in Chicago in 1880, and accepted, as well as during the -subsequent campaign. He returned to Toronto in 1881, and became -editorial writer on the “World.” The following year he became Secretary -of the Canadian Manufacturers Association, continuing till 1886, when, -owing to the lines of cleavage between capital and labor becoming -marked, he resigned and established the “Labor Reformer,” the first -paper in Canada to advocate public ownership and a workmen’s -compensation act. While secretary of the Canadian Manufacturers -Association he drafted a factory act which he urged the Dominion -Government to pass, providing equal protection and conditions to the -workers in all provinces, as well as for manufacturers against unequal -labor conditions. This the Government failed to adopt. The draft, -however, was made the basis of the Factory Act passed by the Ontario -Government shortly after; but this, of course, could give no protection -to the Ontario manufacturer (and indirectly to the workers as well) -against the longer hours and lower labor conditions obtaining in the -Province of Quebec. In 1886, he was appointed Dominion Government agent -for the Antwerp and the Indian and Colonial Exhibitions, and acted as -one of four commissioners representing Canada in London at the latter. -In 1887, he represented Toronto District Assembly at the General -Assembly of the Knights of Labor, and was the first Canadian elected -member of the General Executive Board, and immediately after was -appointed editor of the “Journal of the Knights of Labor,” Philadelphia, -official organ of the order, continuing to hold both positions till -1892, when he removed to New York as editor of “The Craftsman.” In 1896, -he was appointed by the Laurier Government special commissioner to -investigate and report on the sweating system in Canada, and was -subsequently asked by that Government to investigate and report on the -Japanese difficulties in British Columbia, but was unable to accept. -From 1898 to 1904, he was organizer of the Conservative party in -Ontario, engaging in three campaigns, being in charge of the campaign -that resulted in Sir James Whitney becoming Premier. For a number of -years he was president of the Canadian Public Ownership League, which -did valuable work in educating the public as to the advantages of the -idea now so firmly rooted in the Province of Ontario. He was a candidate -for the Ontario Legislature in West Toronto, on the public ownership -platform in 1908, but was defeated in the three-cornered contest. In -1910-11, he spent about eight months in Britain writing and speaking in -the interest of Imperial preferential trade. On the Ontario Government -in 1914 constituting a commission to put in operation the Workmen’s -Compensation Act, Mr. Wright was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Board, -his appointment said to be the last in which Sir James Whitney took any -personal interest. The appointment met with the unanimous approval of -organized labor. During the recruiting campaign, Mr. Wright took a very -active and effective part in speaking throughout the city and elsewhere. -He married, January 26, 1876, Elizabeth R., eldest daughter of the late -Robert Simpson, at that time of Guelph, but formerly and latterly of -Toronto. Mrs. Wright died in 1913. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. -W. E. Hunter of Toronto, a grandson and granddaughter, and a brother, -Daniel W., of Cashmere, Washington, U.S. For some time he had been -troubled with blood pressure and in September, 1918, sustained a slight -stroke at his place in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where he delighted in birds, -flowers, and fruit, in the cultivation of which he was well versed. In -April he had a severe attack of neuritis, which, together with heart -trouble, resulted in his death, June 12, 1919, at his home, 105 -Macdonnell Avenue, Toronto. Of him, Dr. James L. Hughes wrote: “A. W. -Wright was a vitally progressive force in Canada for half a century. He -was a true democrat who recognized the right of women as well as men to -freedom. Few men of his time so fully represented and so powerfully -expressed justice and consideration for others as the basis of -brotherhood. He was a charming comrade, a faithful friend, and an -eloquent orator. All who knew him were better for his influence. No man -could think a mean or base thought in his presence.” In a touching -letter to Mrs. Hunter from Washington, D.C., T. V. Powderly, formerly -General Master Workman of the Knights of Labor, wrote, in answer to a -notification of Mr. Wright’s death:—“It was withheld from me until this -morning; for a good reason, I suppose. . . . Anyway, I want to remember -your father as I last saw him at my home here four years ago. His going -was a blow to you and all his friends. He drew his sunshine from no -niggard store, and spread more of it across life’s dark pathway than any -man I ever met. His picture, framed, had a vase of Marie Pavia roses -before it this morning. I understood—for your father gave that rosebush -to me thirty years ago, and when we moved here from Scranton in 1899 we -took it with us; we call it Marie Pavia Wright. I have known your father -for forty years, and though for part of that time we were officially -associated in the K. of L., our friendship was confined within no -official band. . . . For years I had a dream. It was that some day I -could so manage as to live close to your father and John Devlin. D. died -a year ago. Perhaps we may live together yet—who knows? Soon I shall -take up the journey they have begun, and when that hour comes I hope it -may be said of me as I now say of your father:— - - “Out through the portals of death he passed - To that ultimate, Unknown land; - The chart of right and of deeds well done, - Held in his cold, dead hand. - For the words he traced to his latest breath - Are unclouded by wrong or ruth; - And stamped on all, as he met his death, - Was the seal of love and truth.” - -Writing in the “World,” W. F. Maclean, M.P., said “The late A. W. Wright -was an able man who played a leading part in making the destiny of -Canada. . . . He had wit, a beaming way, and a radiant kind of -sociability.” The “Hamilton Herald” said:—“Few Canadians of the last -generation contributed more to the upbuilding of Canada than A. W. -Wright. Much of the success of the Workmen’s Compensation Act is due to -his sagacity and clear, swift insight. As a newspaper writer Alex. -Wright was one of the most forceful of his time. As a platform speaker, -when dealing with a subject with which he was familiar, he was -unsurpassed. He had bright, incisive style and a talent for keen -analysis. He was at his best when heckled. He courted interruption, for -no one could get the better of him in a clash of wits.” In a review of -his career, “Saturday Night” spoke of him as “a man of remarkable -intellectual powers and charming personality,” and of his youth, “he -made a hobby of economics and by the time he was thirty was recognized -as one of the ablest writers and speakers on such subjects in this -country.” When nickel was discovered in Ontario he urged on the -government to establish a customs smelter to treat it, to sell at cost -to actual users of it in Canada, and to place a heavy export duty on it, -thereby giving Canadians a great advantage in manufacturing high-grade -machinery of nickel steel, thus greatly stimulating industry here, and -assuring Canada millions of dollars annually from export duty on nickel -which outsiders must have at any cost. Instead of this a foreign concern -was given a practical monopoly to refine Canadian nickel in the U.S. -with the right to sell to Germany or any other enemy of Canada and the -empire. Both as writer and speaker he was keenly analytical, logical, -and constructive in his chosen style, but in dealing with an unfair -opponent he was equally at home in using forceful denunciation, bitter -irony, scorching sarcasm, or ludicrous burlesque, while in flashing and -apt repartee he was unrivalled. He was widely read in prose and poetry, -and, possessing a remarkable memory and facile power of expression, was -a charming conversationalist, usually the centre of a group of -appreciative auditors in any informal gathering. As raconteur he was -inimitable. Continual optimism, constant cheerfulness, and unvarying -kindliness were his outstanding characteristics, and won for him the -friendship of all who knew him. - - * * * * * - -=Roche, Francis James= (Toronto, Ont.), Clerk of Assize of the Supreme -Court of Ontario, was Conservative candidate for Parliament in West -Ontario in 1900, as also for North Toronto 1904, opposing Sir William -Mulock, then Postmaster-General. He practised law in Toronto for several -years, and served as a member of the Collegiate Institute Board of -Trustees of Toronto from 1902 to 1905. He was appointed Official Referee -of the Supreme Court in 1914. Mr. Roche was born at Whitby, Ont., -October 10, 1865, the son of John R. Richmond Roche, M.A., and Sarah -Danford Bryan Roche.

He was born at Williamsburg, Ont., in the St. Lawrence Valley, -on October 29, 1844, the son of Richard Leet and Clarissa Jane (Fairman) -Whitney. The Whitney family is of United Empire Loyalist stock and -descended from Henry Whitney, who came to New England from -Herefordshire, England, in 1640. The late Sir James Whitney, Prime -Minister of Ontario from 1905 to 1914 was an elder brother of the -subject of this sketch. Edwin Canfield Whitney was educated at the -public schools of his district, and subsequently moved to Minneapolis, -Minn., where he engaged in the lumbering industry, and in the course of -years built up a substantial fortune. He later removed to Ottawa, where -he engaged in the lumber business as General Manager of the St. Anthony -Lumber Company, Ltd., until 1912, when he retired from active business -with the winding up of the company. He is also Vice-President of the -Crow’s Nest Pass Coal Company. He was also one of the directors of the -Keewatin Flour Mills Company, Ltd. He is a Director of the Bank of -Ottawa and of the Toronto General Trusts Company, Ltd.

In the same year he was -appointed a Trustee of the University Residence Fund, and in 1906 became -one of the Governors of the University proper. Among his other gifts to -the institution have been a valuable collection of works on Egypt and -its antiquities, now in the University library. In 1911, he made a -standing offer of $30,000 toward the erection of a general hospital in -Ottawa, if the balance of the required sum could be raised. The -good-heartedness and generosity of Mr. Whitney in connection with -charities is indeed proverbial with all who know him, and during the -great war his gifts to patriotic and other funds were on a generous -scale. In association with Mrs. Whitney, he gave $5,000 to Trinity -University (of which his brother, Sir James Whitney, was a distinguished -graduate), and also a memorial church to the Anglican parish of -Williamsburg, Ont., of which he was a member when a boy. Mr. Whitney is -an adherent of the Anglican communion, and has on many occasions been a -delegate to the Synods of that church. In March, 1879, he married Sarah, -widow of the late Glossop McQuire, C.E., and daughter of the late J. P. -Chrysler, M.P.P.

When but a boy in his early student days, he interested himself in -public affairs, and early gave evidence of talent both as a writer and a -public speaker. Mr. Wylie is noted particularly for his work as a -prohibition propagandist. He was the chief instrument in organizing the -Ontario Young Manhood Association, which in 1914 presented a petition -signed by 10,000 young Conservatives in Ontario to the late Sir James P. -Whitney, then Prime Minister of the Province, asking provincial -prohibition, and which contested unsuccessfully the constituency of -Parkdale in the general election of June in that year. Mr. Wylie is also -credited with having originated the Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred, -of which he became General Secretary, and organized the six months’ -whirlwind campaign throughout Ontario which resulted in the passing of -the Ontario Temperance Act in March, 1916. Previous to that he had -participated in the provincial prohibition campaign in Alberta in 1915, -touring that Province and speaking in all the chief cities, as well as -invading some of the mining districts. Mr. Wylie is a close personal -friend of “Billy” Sunday, and has spoken on “No Booze” in the noted -evangelist’s tabernacles in Trenton, Baltimore, and Boston.

At the National -Liberal Convention of August, 1919, he unwillingly allowed his name to -go before the delegates chosen to elect a leader, yielding to pressure -from his Scottish friends in Nova Scotia, but on the election of Mr. -King extended to the latter his heartiest co-operation and support. At -the conclusion of the regular Parliamentary session of 1918-9, he had -the honour of seconding Sir Robert Borden’s resolution of thanks to the -Canadian troops who had fought and died on the battlefields of France -and Flanders.

In June, 1916, during the heavy fighting at Ypres, -known as the “June show” he was seriously wounded and after two months -in hospital was sent home to Canada. In April, 1917, he was discharged -as permanently unfit for further service at the front, and in May of -that year was appointed Secretary of the Pensions Board of Canada. He -showed a very exceptional capacity for dealing with the problems which -came before the Board, and his military record gained him the confidence -of the many injured soldiers with whom his duties brought him in -contact. In 1918 he was appointed a Commissioner to fill the vacancy -created on the Board by the resignation of Major J. L. Todd, and the -choice was generally approved in military circles throughout Canada. He -is a Protestant and a member of St. Paul’s Lodge, A.F. & A.M. His -recreations are golf and tennis, and he is a member of the following -clubs: St. James and University, Montreal; Rideau, and Country, Ottawa. -In 1909 he married Nina, daughter of John McLean, Montreal, and has -three sons: Philip, born 1910; Edward, born 1912; and James, born 1918. - - * * * * * - -=Watson, Senator Robert=, moved from Ontario to Portage la Prairie, -Manitoba, in 1876, where he built a mill, and later built another mill -at Stonewall. He prospered, became popular, and was well received and -appreciated by the entire community, irrespective of politics. Owing to -his enterprising activities, his generosity, and his sympathetic and -tangible conduct towards those less fortunate than he, he was soon -elected to the Municipal Council, and as a councillor was instrumental -in the adoption of municipal measures that aided in a marked degree the -progressive and harmonious state of affairs in that thriving town. The -Provincial Government and the Province’s representative in the House of -Commons had been Conservative from the time, July 15, 1870, the Province -entered Confederation, and with the return of the Conservatives to power -at Ottawa in 1878, and Hon. John Norquay as Prime Minister, President of -the Council, and Provincial Treasurer at Winnipeg, and four Conservative -spokesmen for the Province occupying seats in the House of Commons, the -young Province was but a helpless political toy in the hands of those -who were elected to, and should have, looked after its best interests. -Suffering for want of proper railway facilities, the situation became -unbearable. Led by Hon. John Norquay, Provincial railway charters were -being issued, only later to be disallowed by the Dominion Government, -all of which, while the public was being led to believe differently, was -fully understood and agreed upon beforehand by both Governments. -Something had to be done to save the Province, and to place it on a -higher plane. An agitation arose, several indignation meetings were held -and finally, in the town of Portage la Prairie, the Provincial Rights -Party was born, and Robert Watson, Portage la Prairie’s millwright, -became the ideal candidate of the party to carry the banner for -Marquette at the general Dominion election. In each of the five Manitoba -Dominion constituencies (a new constituency for the Province had been -created by the Dominion Government), a Provincial Rights Party candidate -was nominated, and three of the five were elected, Winnipeg and -Provencher, with Captain Thos. Scott and Joseph Royal, remained -Conservative, but Lisgar, Marquette and Selkirk, with A. W. Ross, Robert -Watson and Hugh Sutherland, became Provincial Rights constituencies. Out -of these three, however—Ross, Watson and Sutherland—from and including -1882 and 1887, Mr. Watson was practically the only Liberal member in the -House of Commons west of Lake Superior, and he is just as true and -reliable to-day as he was when he first entered political life in 1882. -Senator Robert Watson is the son of the late George Watson, of -Edinburgh, Scotland, who came to Canada in 1847, and his wife Elizabeth -McDonald, of Inverness-shire, Scotland. He was born at Elora, Ontario, -April 29, 1853. In 1876, he moved to Manitoba, and was elected to the -House of Commons for Marquette at the general elections in 1882, 1887 -and 1891. He resigned to accept the portfolio of Minister of Public -Works in the Greenway Administration, 1892, and was elected at the -general elections of that year to the Legislature for Portage la -Prairie, and again at the general election of 1896. At the general -election of 1899 he was defeated. January 29, 1900, he was summoned to -the Senate. July, 1880, Senator Watson married Isabella, daughter of -Duncan Brown, of Lobo, Ontario. He is a Presbyterian, and his home -address is Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. - - * * * * * - -=Sutherland, Fred C.=, Stock Broker, 12 King St. East, Toronto, was born -March 17, 1880, in West River, Nova Scotia, and received his education -at Pictou Academy. He entered his present business in 1909 and became -actively engaged in the development of Northern Ontario’s natural -resources, being instrumental in bringing in hundreds of thousands of -dollars for the advancement of mining interests in the districts of -Porcupine, Kirkland Lake, West Shining Tree and Fort Matachewan. The -firm of F. C. Sutherland & Co. is one of the largest of its kind in -Canada, besides its large and finely appointed head office, having -branch offices in Montreal, Boston, Springfield, Buffalo, Detroit and -New York. He has surrounded himself with a staff of the most capable -mining experts, and his sound judgment, based on first-hand information -has proven of great value to his large clientele of investors. Though -his time is constantly in demand by his clients and the investing public -as well as in directing both internal and external affairs of his -extensive interests he is invariably genial and unruffled, having the -happy faculty of being able to divert his attention rapidly from one -subject to another yet keeping closely in touch with each till disposed -of. He is a member of The Board of Trade, the Lambton Golf Club, a -Protestant, a Unionist in politics and the possessor of an unusually -pleasing personality. - - * * * * * - -=Taylor, Lt.-Col. Hon. George= (Gananoque), the second son of the late -William Taylor and his wife Ann Graham, both of the north of Ireland. -Was born at Lansdowne, County Leeds, Ontario, March 31, 1840, and has -been for years one of the most popular figures in the public life of -this Dominion. Educated in the Public Schools of Lansdowne, the Hon. Mr. -Taylor began life in the mercantile business as a clerk in a country -general store at the age of eleven years, where he worked for £1 a -month, and continued with the same firm as partner over twenty-five -years. On retiring from the mercantile business above mentioned, the -Hon. Mr. Taylor re-organized the Ontario Wheel Company, to manufacture -carriage wheels, and has been President of the Company for thirty years. -He has been Reeve of Gananoque for seven years, and Warden of the United -Counties of Leeds and Grenville, of which he was County Auditor, 1881. -Was first elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative candidate -for the County of Leeds in the general elections of 1882, and was -re-elected at every general election held since up to 1911 when he -resigned his seat to create a vacancy for Sir Thomas White, who had been -appointed Minister of Finance in the Borden Cabinet. During his long -parliamentary career Hon. Mr. Taylor was chief Whip of the Conservative -party for twenty-five years under Sir John A. MacDonald, Sir John -Abbott, Sir John Thompson, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Sir Charles Tupper and -Sir Robert Borden. Shortly after his retirement from the House of -Commons, on November 17, 1911, the subject of this sketch was summoned -to the Senate, and since his appointment to the Upper Chamber has taken -an active part in its deliberations. On retiring from the House of -Commons, he received a handsome testimonial of esteem from his -colleagues. Hon. Mr. Taylor, during his career in public life, has -always received the good will of all classes of citizens. He is the soul -of good humor, broadminded, generous and a liberal gentleman, and has -been called “The John Hampden” of this Dominion. He is the Honorary -Colonel of the 156th Battalion of Leeds and Grenville and President of -the Peace River Land Company and a member of the following societies: -Orange, Masonic, Oddfellows, United Workmen, Royal Arcanum and -Foresters. Senator Taylor was married on September 10, 1863, to Margaret -Ann Latimer, daughter of James and Ellen Latimer and ward of Major James -Kirker of Gananoque. They celebrated their golden wedding Sept. 10, -1913. Mrs. Taylor died Mar. 12, 1917. Mr. Taylor afterwards married -Lilian Coleman, daughter of the late Mr. Anson Clark Coleman and his -wife Hannah Witton, of Delta, both Canadians of English descent. - - * * * * * - -=Richardson, John= (Toronto, Ont.), was born in Scarboro Township, -County of York, Ontario, in 1843, on the farm of his father, the late -Ezekiel Richardson. He received his education at the Public School, -Scarboro Village, at the Grammar School, Markham Village, and at -Victoria College, Cobourg. After completing his education he returned to -his old home and engaged in the business of farming until 1894. Early in -life he took an active interest in public affairs in his native -township. In 1875 he was induced to accept nomination and was a -successful candidate for a seat in the Township Council and was -re-elected for nineteen years consecutively, three years as Councilman, -two years as Deputy Reeve and fourteen years as Reeve. In 1885 he was -elected Warden of the County of York, the highest municipal position in -the County. The City of Toronto and the County of York are united for -judicial purposes. Mr. Richardson was for many years Chairman of the -Legislation Committee and as such had much to do with framing -legislation beneficial to the Metropolitan City and County. In December, -1894, he retired from the Reeveship of Scarboro, he having been elected -by the constituency of East York as their representative in the Ontario -Legislature, which position he held for ten years, being re-elected in -1892 and 1902. He was a Liberal in politics and was a supporter of the -administrations of Sir Oliver Mowat, Hon. A. S. Hardy and Sir George W. -Ross. In 1902 he lost his health, the strenuous life of a politician was -too severe for him. In 1904 he was compelled to forego his political -ambitions and withdraw from political life. In December of that year Sir -George W. Ross, then Premier of Ontario, appointed him to the position -of Clerk of the County Court of the County of York, which position he -held until his death. Mr. Richardson’s father emigrated from the North -of Ireland in 1824, and settled in Scarboro. In 1831 he married Miss -Mary Hunter, an English girl. Their descendants being five sons and four -daughters. James and Ezekiel, who were ordained Methodist Ministers, and -Joseph and Samuel, who graduated in medicine, now deceased. Three -sisters survive—Mrs. A. Barber, Bowmanville; Mrs. E. Draper and Mrs. H. -Aylard, of Toronto. He was a Director of the York Fire Insurance Co., a -member of the Acacia Lodge A.F. & A.M., and a Methodist in religion. He -was a philanthropist, in a quiet way, many owing their success in life -to his generosity. By his honest and straightforward actions in both his -political and private life, he won the confidence and respect of the -community at large. Mr. Richardson died at Toronto, in September, 1914, -after a very active career. - - * * * * * - -=Doughty, Arthur George, M.A., C.M.G., Litt.D., LL.D., F.R.S.C., -F.R.C.I.=, Archivist for the Dominion of Canada, is perhaps the greatest -living authority on Canadian history, and a scholar of international -repute. He was born at Maidenhead, England, on March 22, 1860, the son -of William John Doughty. He was educated at the public schools, -Maidenhead, Lord Eldon College, London, New Inn Hall, Oxford University, -and Dickenson College, Carlisle, when he was awarded the M.A. degree in -1890. Ten years later he became Docteur de Lettres of Laval University, -Montreal, and in 1912 received the Honorary Degree of LL.D. at Queen’s -University, Kingston, Ont. As a young man Dr. Doughty contemplated -entering the Church, and was engaged in religious work at All Hallows -Mission, Southwark, London, and in other institutions. Circumstances, -however, altered this intention and in the nineties he came to Canada -and was engaged for a time in commercial pursuits at Montreal, utilizing -his leisure for literary work. In 1897 he was appointed Private -Secretary to the Minister of Public Works at Quebec, and in 1899-1901 -served in a similar capacity with the Provincial Treasurer of Quebec. In -the latter year he was appointed joint librarian of the Quebec -Legislature, and on May 16, 1904, became Dominion Archivist and Keeper -of the Records for Canada, with headquarters in the Archives Building, -Ottawa. His indefatigable labors in that office have raised it to very -large importance. In 1907 he was appointed a member of the Canadian -Historical Manuscripts Commission, and in 1908 a member of the literary -committee of the Quebec Battlefields Commission. In 1909 he became a -member of the Dominion Geographic Board. One of the greatest historical -services he has been able to render Canada was at the conclusion of the -great war in 1918 when he went to Great Britain and France and secured a -magnificent collection of war trophies as the permanent possession of -Canada, to be apportioned among various Canadian cities. Dr. Doughty -early acquired rare skill as an illuminator on vellum and decorated the -book presented to the present King and Queen on their visit to Quebec in -1901. He is also an expert in shorthand, and has published an edition of -Tennyson’s “In Memoriam” in that script. At the same time he has been -prolific in many forms of literary effort, as the following list of -publications shows: “The Life and Works of Lord Tennyson,” 1893; “Rose -Leaves,” 1894; “The Song Story of Francesco and Beatrice,” 1896; “Nugæ -Canoræ,” 1897; “The Site of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham,” 1918; -“The Siege of Quebec,” in six volumes, 1901-2 (written in collaboration -with George W.

Dr. -Doughty has also contributed to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, -Encyclopedia Americana, the Catholic Encyclopedia, and to many magazines -and historical journals. His lighter efforts have included the libretto -of a comic opera “Bonnie Prince Charlie.” He is a member of the Canadian -Society of Authors, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of the -Royal Colonial Institute, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of -Great Britain, and a member of the Literary and Historical Society of -Quebec. In 1905 he was honored with the decoration of C.M.G. He married, -first, Bertha Van Kehrweider, in June, 1886, who died January, 1910; -secondly, Kathleen Rathbun Browne, daughter of George A. Browne, -Montreal, in June, 1911. In religion he is a Roman Catholic, and is a -member of the Rideau Club, and the Ottawa Golf Club. He resides at 490 -Wilbrod St., Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=McFall, Robert James, B.A., A.M., Ph.D.=, of Ottawa, Ont., is one of -the best known economists and statisticians of Canada. He was born at -Somerset, Nova Scotia, on January 7, 1887, the son of Rev. Thomas -McFall, a Reformed Presbyterian clergyman, and his wife, Anna Lyons. His -education was remarkably complete. After studying at the public schools -of Nova Scotia he went to Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Penna., -graduating with the degree of B.A. in 1912. This was followed by -post-graduate courses at Glasgow University, Scotland, and Columbia -University, New York City. He took a scholarship at the latter -institution in 1913, and in 1914 captured the Garth Fellowship in -Political Economy—a much-coveted honor. He received the degree of A.M. -in 1914 and Ph.D. in 1916. For two years, 1915-17, he had charge of the -work in Transportation and Commerce in the Department of Economics at -the University of Minnesota, and in 1917 returned to Canada to become -Chief of the Internal Trade Division, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, at -Ottawa. In August of that year he also became statistician of the Canada -Food Board, an office he held until February, 1919. He served also as -Cost of Living Commissioner from May, 1918, to August, 1919, when the -work of this office was merged in that of the Board of Commerce. During -his tenure of office as Cost of Living Commissioner Dr. McFall proved -most efficient and won high encomiums for his fearless performance of -his duties. Among his publications is a valuable treatise on the -transportation question “Railway Monopoly and Rate Regulation,” -published in 1916 by Longmans, Green & Company. In addition to various -official reports he has written numerous magazine and newspaper articles -on the subject of transportation and food supplies, for American and -Canadian publications.

His residence is at 353 -Frank St., Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=Amyot, Lieut.-Col. John A., C.M.G.=, Deputy Minister of the Federal -Department of Public Health, Ottawa, is an authority on the subject of -public sanitation and the prevention of disease. He was born at Toronto -on July 25, 1867, the son of John F. Amyot, a railroad man, and his -wife, Sophie Féré. He was educated at the separate schools, St. Thomas, -Ont., Assumption College, Sandwich, Ont. and at the University of -Toronto, from which he graduated with the degree of M.B. in 1891. He was -immediately appointed a house surgeon of Toronto General Hospital, -serving for one year; and from 1892 to 1900 was Demonstrator in -Pathology on the University of Toronto Medical Faculty. From 1894 to -1898 he was Assistant Surgeon at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, and -from 1898 to 1900, Surgeon. Among other professional offices he filled -were those of Lecturer in Comparative Physiology at the Ontario -Veterinary College, 1898-1908; Director of the Laboratory of the -Provincial Board of Health, Ontario, 1900-1918; Associate Professor of -Pathology, University of Toronto, 1900-09, and Professor of Hygiene at -the same institution, 1909-1918. A year before the outbreak of the great -war he had become identified with the Canadian Army Medical Corps and -held the commission of D.A.D.M.S. (Sanitation) for the 2nd Canadian -Divisional Area, from 1913 to 1915. In that capacity he had much to do -with preserving the health of large bodies of troops who were placed in -training in that area after the outbreak of the war in 1914. In the -spring of 1915 he went to England on staff of No. 4 Can. Gen. Hospital, -was made officer in charge of Sanitation, 2nd Canadian Division whilst -in England, and in the latter part of that year was transferred to -France as O.C. of the Sanitary Section of the 1st Canadian Division. In -1916 he became Chief Adviser in Sanitation with the Canadian Army Corps -in France, and later in the same year was seconded to the Imperial -forces as D.A.D.M.S. (Sanitation) with the 2nd British Army in France. -From 1916 to 1918 he was also Consultant in Sanitation with the Canadian -Overseas Forces, England. The low percentage of deaths from communicable -disease in the British and Canadian armies during the war, was regarded -as miraculous when compared with the statistics of all past wars, and to -this desirable condition, which greatly aided in the victory, -Lieut.-Col. Amyot is considered as having largely contributed. He was -twice mentioned in despatches for service under fire while in France in -1916, and three times won similar recognition for his zeal in combatting -disease among the troops in England. In recognition of his abilities he -was personally decorated with the C.M.G. by His Majesty. In July, 1919, -he was appointed by the administration of Sir Robert Borden, Deputy -Minister of the newly created Department of Public Health, and entrusted -with the work of organizing it on modern lines. Col. Amyot’s writings -include various papers on questions of public health published in Canada -and the United States. He has also collaborated on Technical commissions -in connection with the United States and Canadian Public Health -Associations, and the Ontario and Canadian Medical Associations. He is -also a co-director of the International Waterways Commission, and in -that capacity has conducted investigations on the pollution of the -waters of the Great Lakes. He is a Roman Catholic in religion and a -member of the Toronto Board of Trade, the University and Canadian Clubs, -Toronto, and the Faculty Union of Toronto University. On May 21, 1895, -he married Mary J. Keller, daughter of Francis and Mary (Stuart) Keller, -Whitby, Ont., and has five sons and two daughters, John Francis, Gregory -Féré, William Keller, Joseph, Mary, Francis and Sophie. His residence is -at Slater St., Ottawa. - - * * * * * - -=Owens, Edward W. J., K.C., M.P.P.= for South-East Toronto, has -represented that constituency for two parliaments, having been -re-elected by a handsome majority at the general elections in 1914. He -was born in Dublin, Ireland, and received his early education there, in -Manchester, England, and in the Forrest City. He became a student-at-law -in the office of Cronyn and Greenlees, of London, and shortly after -passing the bar removed to Toronto, where he joined the firm of Leys, -Reid and Owens, the head of the firm being the late John Leys, Q.C., -M.P.P. He later practised for a number of years by himself, subsequently -forming the firm of Owens, Proudfoot, and Cooke, with offices at 32-34 -Adelaide Street East. He is now head of the firm of Owens and Goodman at -the above address, and enjoys an extensive and constantly growing -practice. His manner is extremely affable, never ruffled, and constantly -active. Since coming to Toronto, he always took an active part in the -Conservative interest, and for years was President of the Central -Conservative Association before being elected member of the Legislature. -He can speak well and to the point when occasion demands, but has earned -the reputation of taking up less time on the floor of the house than any -other member of equal ability. He is unmarried, but has none of the -crotchety characteristics sometimes attributed to the bachelor of middle -age. - - * * * * * - -=Hook, Thomas, M.P.P.= for South-East Toronto was born in England, and -when a very small boy came to Canada with his parents about the time of -Confederation. The family settled in London, Ont., where his father -engaged in business as a contractor. The firm of Hook and Toll built the -Military School in London as well as other buildings well known in that -city and vicinity. On leaving school, the subject of this sketch spent -three years in the office of E. Jones Parke, Q.C., and then joined the -staff of the Dominion Savings and Investment Society. He resigned his -position in this company some twenty years ago, and removed to Toronto, -where he became engaged in the real estate business, which he still -conducts at 79 Victoria Street. At an early age he took great interest -in politics, and on his arrival in Toronto soon became a well known and -active worker for the Conservative party in the city. For years he held -different offices in the local Conservative organizations, and in 1907 -he was elected President of Ward 3 Conservative Association, holding -that position for the unprecedented period of seven years, till elected -to his present position in 1914 for seat “B” in South-East Toronto by a -large majority. During the war he was untiring in his recruiting -efforts. He is a fluent and forceful speaker, with marked executive -ability, a genial manner, and sociable disposition. Though a straight -party man, he is independent and outspoken, and may be expected to leave -the impress of his personality on the Legislature in the not distant -future. The family—including a son recently returned from service -overseas—reside at No. 1 Rathnally Ave. - - * * * * * - -=Donovan, Albert Edward, M.P.P.=, representative of the riding of -Brockville in the Ontario Legislature, is one of the most widely known -publicists of that province, and is also known throughout the Dominion -as an insurance expert. He was born at Portland, Leeds County, Ont., on -February 5, 1859, the son of John and Margaret Donovan. His grandfather -was a native of Tipperary, Ireland, who adopted the profession of law, -and coming to Canada settled at Forfar, Leeds County, where he became -the first legal practitioner in that district. His father was a mechanic -and ship’s carpenter. The subject of this sketch was educated at the -public and high schools of Athens, Ont., and afterward taught school for -a number of years. Subsequently, he entered the life insurance business, -and became one of the most successful writers of policies in America. In -the early nineties, he represented the Sun Life Assurance Company of -Canada in Great Britain for two years, and subsequently returned to this -country to associate himself with the Mutual Life Insurance Company of -New York, the oldest Company of its kind in America. He was appointed -Superintendent of Agencies for the Maritime Provinces, with headquarters -at Halifax, and subsequently moved to Toronto as Superintendent for -Ontario. In 1905 he became manager for this province, a position he -still holds. He has become largely identified with the financial -interests of the province, and is one of the greatest authorities on -life insurance as an investment proposition in this or any other -country. The sum total of the policies he has written would run into -millions, and many of them have reached large sums like $100,000 or -$200,000. After moving to Toronto, he still maintained a home at Athens, -Ont., where he became largely interested in agriculture, and at one time -owned farm property in the Brockville district. It was because of his -loyal attachment to the county of his birth that in 1905 the -Conservatives of Brockville riding tendered him the nomination for the -Legislature in opposition to the sitting member, Hon. George P. Graham, -at that time a member of the Ross Government. Though his party was -successful at the polls, Mr. Donovan was unable to overcome the personal -following of Mr. Graham in the Brockville district. Subsequently, in -1907, when Mr. Graham retired from the Ontario Legislature to join the -Laurier cabinet at Ottawa, Mr. Donovan was again nominated and at a -by-election in October, 1907, was successful in redeeming the riding by -a large majority. His victory was the more signal, inasmuch as -Brockville had sent a Liberal member to the Legislature at every -election for many years, and was regarded as impregnable by that party. -Though on each occasion strongly opposed, Mr. Donovan was again elected -by large majorities at the general elections of 1908, 1911 and 1914. -From the occasion of his first speech in the Ontario Legislature, he has -been recognized as an important factor in the deliberations of that -body, his fine oratorical gifts being as marked as the sound -intellectual quality of his deliverances. On many occasions regret has -been expressed that Mr. Donovan’s business interests have precluded his -accepting cabinet preferment. During the late war he turned his -abilities as a speaker to patriotic uses, and is credited with having -recruited more men for the Canadian army than any other member of either -the House of Commons or the various legislatures of this country. His -efforts covered the entire province of Ontario, and in the year 1915 he -individually secured the enlistment of 1,260 soldiers. Personally, he is -popular with men of all shades of opinion, and is a member of the Albany -Club, Toronto, the Brockville Club, and the Canadian Club, Toronto, and -of the Executive of the Empire Club of Canada. In religion he is a -Methodist, and is a member of the A.F. and A.M. and the I.O.O.F. He -married Ella B., daughter of Duncan Fisher, and has two sons, Albert -Edward and John Alexander, and one daughter, Helen M. Donovan. His -residence is at 284 Huron Street, Toronto. - - * * * * * - -=Crannell, Levi=, is one of the leading lumbermen of Ottawa, with -interests that embrace both Canada and the United States; and has also -played a prominent part in public affairs at the Canadian capital. He -was born in Albany, N.Y., on October 7, 1842, the son of Henry and Eliza -Crannell. His father was a prominent lumberman of the ante-bellum period -in New York State, and the subject of this sketch was educated in the -public schools of Albany, with a view to taking up the same line of -activity. At the time he attained manhood, Ottawa was, as now, a centre -of the lumbering industry. Coming to Canada many years ago, Mr. Crannell -became associated with the business now known as the Bronson Company, -Limited, ground wood pulp and lumber manufacturers, Ottawa, of which he -is still an active partner. This company is the offspring of an old -lumber firm established at Bytown (the early name of Ottawa) in 1852 by -J. J. Harris and Henry Franklin Bronson, both of whom came from the -United States to operate newly-acquired timber limits. Mr. Harris -retired in 1864, and for over forty years thereafter the business was -carried on under the name of the Bronson and Weston Lumber Company, -until the present title was adopted. Mr. Crannell threw himself heart -and soul into the aspirations of the young Canadian nation, and became a -naturalized citizen in 1875. His interests have expanded with the times, -and now include California as well as the Ottawa Valley. A good many -years ago, foreseeing the growth of the redwood industry on the Pacific -Coast, he acquired timber properties there, and twelve years ago the -Little River Redwood Company, of Budwinkie, California, commenced -manufacturing operations. Of this company Mr. Crannell is President, and -other members of the Bronson firm directors and shareholders. By this -industry Budwinkie has been turned into a happy and flourishing -industrial centre. Direct railroad connections with the mills have been -established, and handsome houses built by the company for all employees, -married or single. For the latter class, the company operates a -community dining room, at which from 350 to 400 meals are served daily. -It is evidence of the growing international importance of the redwood -industry that over one-third of the company’s manufactured product is -exported to other countries, and the demand both foreign and domestic is -constantly growing. It is a cedar of exquisite quality, and in its -finished condition makes a very handsome article.

The -benefactions of the Bronson firm since its earliest days are well known, -and have brought cheer and happiness to hundreds of poor homes at -Christmas time and during hard winters. Mr. Crannell has been an -especially good friend to the Orphans’ Home, the Old Men’s Home, and, -indeed, all hospitals and charitable institutions in Ottawa owe much to -his generosity and initiative.

H. -MacBrien, C.B., etc. Colonel Marshall served with General MacBrien -through the Battle of the Somme, and for his part in this operation -received the Distinguished Service Order.

In 1886 the scope of the work was unique, so far as this -country was concerned, for previous volumes of the kind had confined themselves -to the careers of Canadians who have won fame in either a political or military -capacity. The aim of the editors of the first volume of “Representative Canadians” -was to give recognition of the emergence of Canada from a colonial -to something like a national status by recording something of the achievements -of those who had contributed to the intellectual, industrial and commercial -growth of the country, as well as of its political leaders. The purpose remained -the same in the second volume published in 1888, and is once more the impulse -of the present book.</p> - -<p class='pindent'>The vast majority of those whose careers were recorded in 1886 have -passed away; and the same is true of those who figured in the second volume -of the series. Consequently, the earlier issues of “Representative Canadians” -grow every day more precious, for, in many cases, they contain the sole records -of men who initiated great enterprises or furthered important movements -which have left a lasting mark on the history of Canada. We cannot but think -that the reader who, thirty or forty years hence, may chance to scan the pages -of the present volume will gather a very vivid picture of Canada as it was -in one of the crucial periods of the world’s affairs—a picture in which the -characters of those Canadians who lived and “carried on” through the years -of the greatest war in all history may be discerned in the records of their lives. -There is hardly a page in this book into which the war does not enter directly -or indirectly in some form or other, by way of allusions to services rendered, -bereavements endured, or honours gained on the field of battle. In that sense -the 1919 volume must remain unique, and a mine of useful information for -students in future generations.</p> - -<p class='pindent'>Generally speaking, in comparing the biographies of the Canadians of -to-day with those of 1886 and 1888, the reader gains a sense of this country’s -continuous expansion. The present century has witnessed a marvellous -development in the Canadian West, so that in these pages we find numerous -records showing not merely the commercial, but the intellectual, progress of -the Provinces West of the Great Lakes—stories of brilliant careers built up -by men who were mere children in the East when the first volume was published. -The reader will also note in the biographies of business men which abound in -these pages, the ever-increasing scale on which Canadian commerce and enterprise -everywhere is conducted, so that what seemed large in 1886 is relatively -small to-day. Though some of the men whose names figure in the index are -of less importance than others, all play their part in our complex and vigorous -social life, and the story of their progress and fortunes cannot be really tedious -to any sympathetic student of humanity.</p> - -<p class='line' style='margin-top:0.5em;'><span class='sc'>Toronto, 1919.</span></p> - -<hr class='pbk'/> - -<div><h1 class='nobreak'>INDEX</h1></div> - -<table id='tab1' summary='' class='center'> -<colgroup> -<col span='1' style='width: 23em;'/> -<col span='1' style='width: 1em;'/> -<col span='1' style='width: 2em;'/> -<col span='1' style='width: 1em;'/> -</colgroup> -<tr><td class='tab1c1 tdStyle0'>Adamson, Alan Joseph,</td><td class='tab1c2 tdStyle0'></td><td class='tab1c3 tdStyle1'><a href='#adam1'>124</a></td><td class='tab1c4 tdStyle0'></td></tr> -<tr><td class='tab1c1 tdStyle0'>Adamson, John Evans,</td><td class='tab1c2 tdStyle0'></td><td class='tab1c3 tdStyle1'><a href='#adam2'>121</a></td><td class='tab1c4 tdStyle0'></td></tr> -<tr><td class='tab1c1 tdStyle0'>Aikenhead, Thomas E.,</td><td class='tab1c2 tdStyle0'></td><td class='tab1c3 tdStyle1'><a href='#aike'>47</a></td><td class='tab1c4 tdStyle0'></td></tr> -<tr><td class='tab1c1 tdStyle0'>Aikins, Lieut.-Col.

Hon. Sir Robert Laird</span>, -P.C., K.C.M.G., K.C., LL.D.</span>, Premier of -Canada (Ottawa, Ont.), eldest son of Andrew -Borden and Eunice Laird, was born at -Grand Pré, Nova Scotia, on June 26, 1854. -He was educated at Acadia Villa Academy, -Horton, and for a time a Professor in Glenwood -Institute, N.J. His great-great-grandfather -went to King’s County, Nova Scotia, -with early settlers from New England, in -1760, and upon returning to Massachusetts -gave his land in Nova Scotia to his son, the -great-grandfather of the subject of this -sketch. Upon returning to Nova Scotia, Sir -Robert studied law and was called to the -Bar in 1878. He first practised at Kentville, -N.S., and later moved to Halifax, succeeding -the late Sir John Thompson, then Prime -Minister of Canada, in the firm of Thompson, -Graham and Tupper. Before removing to -Ottawa he was head of the law firm of Borden, -Ritchie & Chisholm, of Halifax, and for ten -years was President of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ -Society. He was made a Q.C. in -1900; an Honorary LL.D. of Queen’s University -in 1903; an Honorary LL.D., St. -<a id='francis2'></a>Francis Xavier University in 1905; an -Honorary LL.D. of McGill University in -1913. In 1896 he was elected to the House -of Commons from Halifax in the General -Elections, and re-elected in 1900, but was an -unsuccessful candidate at the General Elections -in 1904. Upon the retirement of -Edward Kidd, M.P., for Carleton, Ont., he -was elected by acclamation in his stead at -the by-election held on February 4, 1905, and -was re-elected by a large majority at the -general elections in 1908, when he was also -elected in Halifax, N.S. He later resigned -his Carleton seat, preferring to represent -Halifax. At the General Elections of 1911, -he was again returned for Halifax, and continued -to represent that constituency up to -the present time (1918). On February 6, -1901, he was chosen leader of the Conservative -Party in the House of Commons, and -upon the resignation of Sir Wilfrid Laurier -and his Cabinet on October 6, 1911, following -the defeat of the Liberal Government on -the question of Reciprocity with the United -States, he was sent for by His Excellency -Earl Grey and was entrusted with the task -of forming a Cabinet. With a very large -majority at his disposal, he found the task -an easy one, and was successful in gathering -around him men who have since carried on -the government of the country in one of the -most critical periods of its existence. At the -time the first Borden government assumed -office the world war was unthought of except -as a vague speculation, which few students -of world finance and world politics believed -would ever become a fact, and the new -Premier did not foresee that before him lay -the most difficult task that had ever confronted -a Canadian Government. In the -summer of 1914 the conflict which ultimately -developed into a war between the Central -Empires and most of the other civilized -powers, came like a bolt from the blue. On -August 4, 1914, there was great curiosity in -the chancelleries of Europe as to whether the -overseas dominions of the British Empire -would stand behind Great Britain. Germany, -on the day she started the war, believed -that they would not, and it was prophesied -in Berlin that Canada would seek -separation from the Empire. Sir Robert -Borden at once gave the answer by placing -the entire resources of the Dominion at the -disposal of the Motherland; and on receiving -an intimation from the late Lord Kitchener, -that men were the first necessity, immediately -called Parliament together to vote -the necessary money. His government commenced -the training and equipment of a first -volunteer expeditionary force of 35,000, with -provision for its further extension at need. -This expeditionary force was partly trained -at Valcartier camp, Quebec, and partly at -Salisbury Plains, England, and first went -into action at the second battle of Ypres in -the spring of 1915. In the words of Viscount -French, at that time Commander-in-Chief of -the British forces in France, it “saved the -situation” and barred the way to the Channel -Ports from the Germans. In 1915 Sir -Robert, who had been honored with the title -of G.C.M.G. shortly before the outbreak of -the conflict, visited Great Britain and France -and, convincing himself that the struggle -would be very long and difficult, pledged -Canada to provide an aggregate of 500,000 -trained men should the need arise. He and -his government also made arrangements -whereby Canadian manufacturers should -engage largely in the production of munitions, -the credits for such contracts being financed -by the Canadian administration. The same -policy was pursued in connection with contracts -for food supplies, with the result that -throughout the war there was a continued -trade expansion and financial opulence that -enabled Canada to make sacrifices that would -otherwise have been impossible to her. -During his visits to the front Sir Robert kept -himself fully in touch with the needs of the -Canadian army, and resolved to make it a -first consideration in all his policies. A trip -to Great Britain and France in the early part -of 1917 convinced him that, in view of the -dark outlook for peace, it would be necessary -for Canada to adopt the policy of conscription, -which had already been reluctantly -adopted in Great Britain by Mr. Asquith, -and had become the policy of the United -States, which had recently entered the war. -It was clear to Sir Robert that this policy -could only be effectively imposed by consent -of both parties in the House of Commons, and -on his return to Canada in May, 1917, he -announced conscription as his policy and an -abandonment of party government. He was -at first stoutly opposed both in the ranks of -his own party and by his political opponents. -Nevertheless, after long and patient negotiations -he was successful in winning practically -the entire body of English-speaking Liberals -to his way of thinking, and conscription carried -in the House of Commons in the latter -part of July, 1917, by the greatest majority -ever given so momentous a measure. He -then proceeded to form a Union Government -almost equally representative of Conservatives -and Liberals. Early in December of -1917 this government, with Sir Robert as -Prime Minister, appealed to the people, and -was supported by almost the entire mass of -English-speaking constituencies, giving him -the largest majority that any political leader -has ever enjoyed in this country. As a result -of the adoption of conscription, Canada was -enabled by the time peace was declared to -fulfil her pledge of sending 500,000 men to -aid in the war against autocracy—a contribution -which has made this country famous -throughout the world. Already, on January -1, 1912, Sir Robert had been sworn in as a -member of the Imperial Privy Council, the -highest office that up to that time had been -held in the Motherland by a Canadian. On -his arrival in London in June, 1918, he was -invited by the Prime Minister, Hon. David -Lloyd-George to become a member of the -Imperial War Cabinet, a post which he held -during the duration of the war. This was -followed in November of 1918 by an invitation -to become one of Great Britain’s Imperial -representatives at the negotiations preliminary -to and coincident with the Peace Conference -to resolve the disasters of the war and -at once proceeded overseas. Sir Robert’s Imperial -services have been such, and his legal -attainments are so well known that at the -time of writing his elevation to the peerage -as a colonial representative on the legal committee -of the Privy Council, which is the -Court of Appeal for the whole Empire, is -being strongly advocated in the Motherland. -In his private relations Sir Robert is greatly -beloved, and though his duties have brought -him in contact with all the leading figures of -Great Britain, France and the United States, -he is a thorough democrat in bearing. His -favorite recreation is golf and he has played -with many world-famous statesmen, though -he does not claim to be a champion. He is -an Anglican in religion and a member of -many clubs on both sides of the Atlantic. In -September of 1889 he married Laura, -daughter of the late T. H. Bond, of Halifax, -and never fails to acknowledge the great aid -and assistance that has been rendered him -by Lady Borden in building up his illustrious -career.

As a law student he entered the -office of the late Hon. R.

In the earlier years of his -professional career he edited and contributed -to several newspapers. In May 13, 1868, he -married Miss Zoe Lafontaine.

In -October, 1878, he resigned with the Mackenzie -Government, and was elected leader -of the Liberal Party in the House of Commons -in 1887. He issued a call for a Dominion -Liberal Convention in 1893, which -was held at Ottawa. Upon the defeat of the -Tupper Government at the general elections, -June 23, 1896, he was called on by Lord -Aberdeen, Governor-General, to form a ministry -on July 8, 1896, on which date Sir -Charles Tupper resigned office; was sworn -in as President of the Privy Council, July 11, -1896, and formed his Ministry, July 13, -1896. He was appointed by a sub-committee -of the Privy Council to arrange for the settlement -of the Manitoba School Question and -an agreement was reached in November of -the same year.

While in England he succeeded -in securing Her Majesty’s Government’s -assent to the denunciation of the commercial -treaties with Germany and Belgium, which -stood in the way of Canada’s new tariff, -extending a preference to the United Kingdom. -On his return to Canada he was -accorded public receptions at Quebec, -Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, and received -from Toronto and Queen’s Universities the -honorary degrees of LL.D. In November, -1897, he went to Washington in the interest -of better relations between the two countries, -and was a member of the Joint Commission -which met at Quebec, August 23, 1898, to -discuss questions affecting jointly Great -Britain, Canada and the United States. He -welcomed the present King, then Duke of -Cornwall and York, to Canada in September, -1901, and accompanied the Royal Party -through the Dominion; was invited, and attended, -the Coronation of King Edward VII, -in 1902, sailing June 14, arriving in Liverpool -June 21, and in London, June 22. The Coronation, -fixed for June 26, was postponed on -June 24, but took place on August 9. On -June 30 he attended a Colonial Conference at -London, and on July 26 received the freedom -of the City of Edinburgh, and was honored -with the degree of LL.D. by the Edinburgh -University. He was entertained by the City -of Glasgow, July 28, visited the continent, and -sailed for Canada on October 7, arriving at -Quebec, October 17, and at Ottawa, October -18, receiving a great civic welcome at the -City Hall. On New Year’s Day, 1904, he -was presented by His Excellency the Governor-General, -with the Fenian Raid medal -for services as a volunteer in 1866. In -1907 he attended the Imperial Conference -at London, Eng., as a representative of Canada, -and was accorded the freedom of London, -Bristol, Liverpool and other cities; and in -1911 he attended the Imperial Conference in -England and represented Canada at the -coronation of King George and Queen Mary. -Following the defeat of his Party at the polls -on September 21, 1911, on October 6 he -tendered the resignation of himself and -Cabinet to Earl Grey, and advised His Excellency -to call upon Mr. R. L. Borden, to -form a Cabinet. From that date until -his death on Feb. 17, 1919, he continued -to lead the Liberal Party, and in -1917 celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday. -He again led his party in the general election -of December, 1917, but was defeated owing -to the fact that many followers had parted -company with him on the issue of Conscription. -Sir Wilfrid’s end came suddenly as a -result of an effusion of blood to the brain. -He was stricken while preparing to go to -church on Sunday, Feb. 16, and passed away -the following afternoon. The death of no -Canadian had previously evoked such tributes -as were printed and uttered, not only in -Canada, but throughout the British Empire -and the United States. His remains were -accorded the honor of a State funeral in Ottawa -on Saturday, Feb. 22, 1919, which was -the most impressive function of its kind -known on any continent since the death of -Lincoln.</p> - -<hr class='tbk101'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='ames'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Ames, Sir Herbert B.</span>, K.B., LL.D., -M.P.</span> (Montreal, Que.), born June 27, -1863, at Montreal, of which city he has been -a life-long resident.

The -direct descendant of Duncan R., chief of the -clan of Robertson of Strowan, 1347; eldest -son of the late John Robertson, wholesale -dry goods merchant, Toronto, and Margaret -R., daughter of Hector Sinclair, Stornoway, -Island of Lewis, Scotland. He was born in -Toronto, Dec. 28, 1841, and educated at -Upper Canada College; married, 1st, in 1871, -Maria Louisa (d. Aug., 1886), daughter of -Edward Earle Matthew Gillbee, Northamptonshire, -Eng., grandson of the late Rev. Dr. -Edward Gillbee, Vicar of Barby, near Rugby, -descendant of the noted Anthony Gilby, one -of the translators of the first edition of the -Geneva or “Breeches” Bible, 1560; 2ndly, -1888, Jessie Elizabeth, daughter of George B. -Holland, a prominent insurance man of Toronto. -While still at college he occupied his -spare hours in acquiring a knowledge of the -printer’s craft, and was a fairly rapid compositor; -commenced a small office which he -established in his father’s residence, John St., -Toronto, and with a few fonts of type he -issued to the boys at Upper Canada College -a paper under the name of the “College -Times,” which later took the name of the -“Boys’ Times,” a monthly publication that -existed 1857-60. He also published in succession -to the “Boys’ Times,” during a year -at the Model Grammar School, a newsy -paper for boys called “Young Canada.” -Picking up a general knowledge of setting -type and small job work in city offices, his -face was a familiar one in the old “Christian -Guardian” office, where occasionally he used -to work off odd jobs, the composition of -which he did in his own office; in the “Globe” -Office, where in 1859, when opportunity offered, -he sometimes used to feed one of the -Hoe single cylinder presses when printing -the inner pages of the four-page “Globe,” -for the inside was always printed the afternoon -before the morning issue; in the -“Leader,” where he at times worked off on -a small job cylinder Hoe press, the “Grumbler,” -the weekly that he issued in 1860; the -following year he equipped a newspaper and -job office, and issued “Sporting Life,” the -first paper in Canada to be devoted to -athletic sports, and subsequently continued -the publication of the “Grumbler,” a weekly -satirical paper, at one time edited by W. J. -Rattray, W. A. Foster, and the late Chief -Justice Thomas Moss. He worked on the -reportorial and advertising staff of the -“Leader,” when Charles Lindsey and Charles -Belford were editors and Ephraim Roden, -City Editor, continuing at the same time the -management of his printing office. He also -issued for a year, Robertson’s Canadian -Railway Guide, the first of its kind in Canada, -and early in 1865 joined the Toronto “Globe” -staff as city Editor, in May, 1866, becoming -one of the founders of the “Daily Telegraph,” -a journal that had a high reputation among -the newspapers of Canada. Owing to political -complications it ceased publication in 1872. -Prior to this, in December, 1869, Mr. Robertson, -then of the “Daily Telegraph,” made a -trip to the North-West, accompanied by Mr. -Robert Cunningham of the “Globe.” They -travelled by rail from Toronto to the end of -steel at St. Cloud, Minn., and there with a -French half-breed guide and a two-horse -farmer’s sleigh, fully equipped, began a -journey of about 400 miles over the prairie. -Snow storms raged and the thermometer ran -from zero to 20 below. The travellers -camped every night in the woods along the -Red River, and arrived in Fort Garry after -a perilous journey of ten days, to be locked -up by the so-called “President” Riel, in -Fort Garry for a week, and only allowed -out to see their friends in the town, under a -guard. They both secured interesting information, -but were ordered out of the -territory, as Riel thought they were “dangerous -characters,” so they left Fort Garry -for Pembina, U.S., the boundary post, one -day when the thermometer was about 40 -below zero. They declared they would not -do the trip again for the whole North-West. -Mr. Robertson, after the “Daily Telegraph” -ceased publication, proceeded to London, -Eng., where for three years he acted as -resident correspondent and business representative -of the Toronto “Daily Globe.” On -his return to Canada, 1875, he assumed the -business management of the “Nation,” edited -by the late Prof. Goldwin Smith. It is said -that during his managership of the “Nation,” -his friend, Mr. Goldwin Smith asked his -opinion as to the opportunities offered for an -independent daily evening paper in Toronto, -and that this conversation led up to the establishment -of the “Evening Telegram,” which -first saw light in April, 1876. It is said to -be the only daily paper in Canada that has -paid its way from the start. Mr. Robertson -continued to conduct it until his death, -May 31, 1918. “The immediate success of -this paper,” said the “Globe,” in a sketch of -his career published during his lifetime, -“is ample evidence that he has graduated -from a good school of journalism. Neither -accident or luck had aught to do with his -success. He launched out in new and -original lines, and the good fortune that -attended his efforts was the outcome of -his energy, enthusiasm and experience, -reinforced by a persistence and resource -that would admit of no failure; it is these -qualities that he brings to his every undertaking, -and on the “Globe” he left behind him -a reputation that is worthy of his later -achievements.” This was publicly demonstrated -by his Masonic career and his -management of that great charity—the Hospital -for Sick Children. From the first he -has held high rank in the Masonic order. He -entered the Craft in 1867, and was W.M. of -his Mother Lodge, King Solomon’s, in 1880-1, -and of Mimico, No. 359, in 1879-80. After -having served successively as Grand Senior -Warden, as District Grand Master of the -Toronto District in 1886, he became in 1890 -Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada, -and was subsequently chosen Grand First -Principal of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter -of Canada, 1894-5, and Provincial Grand -Prior, Ontario Centre, Sovereign Great Priory -of Canadian Knights Templar, 1882; was -Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of -England in Canada, having been appointed -to succeed Sir John A. Macdonald in that -office on the latter’s death, 1891; indeed, -every honor at the disposal of his fellow-craftsmen -had been accorded him. In September, -1902, in commemoration of the coronation -of His Majesty King Edward, the -Duke of Connaught (q.v.) then and now -Grand Master, was pleased to confer the -honorary rank of Past Grand Warden of -England upon several eminent personages, -including the subject of this sketch. For -many years Mr. Robertson was president of -the Canadian Copyright Association and -rendered important services in that regard, -and also Vice-President and President of -the Canadian Associated Press, and Hon. -President of the Toronto Press Club. He -was present, with his wife, by invitation, -in Westminster Abbey, at the coronation -of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. -As an author of Masonic works, Mr. Robertson -is well known, having written the -“History of the Degree of the Cryptic Rite -in Canada,” etc. (1888); “History of the -Knights Templar of Canada, from the Foundation -of the Order to the Present Time” -(1890); “Talks with Craftsmen” (1893); -“Freemasonry in Canada,” 2 vols., 1,000 -pages each (1899). He was a contributor to -the U.C. College Memorial Volume, 1893, -edited the “Diary of Mrs. John Graves Simcoe, -wife of the First Lieutenant-Governor of -Upper Canada, 1792-6” (1911), as a press -notice said, “The book of the year, a superb -work,” and the author and compiler of “Robertson’s -Landmarks of Toronto” (7 vols.). In -1888 the ambulance system in Toronto was -unsatisfactory, and with a view to making it -efficient, he imported from London, Eng., a -modern ambulance, fully equipped, and presented -it to the city. There are about sixty -ambulances in Canada made from this model. -The presentation marked a new era in this -branch of humane work. He later gave -a collection of 4,000 Canadian historical -pictures to the Toronto Public Library, the -largest collection of its kind in the world, -valued at $150,000. In January, 1917, he -acquired and presented to the Public Library -a magnificent ornithological collection of -birds and game of Canada, done in water-color -by William Pope, an English sportsman -and artist, who resided for forty years at -Port Ryerse, Ont. This collection of water-colors -is pronounced by eminent Canadian -biologists to be equal of and in some respects -superior to, the work of Audubon. Mr. -Robertson later added to this another collection -of Canadian birds, exquisite reproductions -in color of hundreds of birds that are -not in the Pope Collection, so that the entire -collection is unparalleled in Canada. He -founded and gave three magnificent silver -cups, made by eminent British silversmiths, -from special patterns, for the promotion of -cricket, hockey and bowling; but it was as -chairman of the Board of Trustees of the -Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, that he -will be most gratefully remembered. For -thirty-five years he carried the chief burden -of this important charitable institution, -bringing to its needs not only much money -of his own, but aiding it with the full force -of his powers as a financier and organizer. -He took an active part in the management -and visited the Hospital every day. -His gifts to the Hospital amounted to about -half a million dollars during his lifetime, -for he completely equipped the Hospital -buildings on College St. and on Elizabeth -St., and built and founded, in connection -with the Hospital, the Lakeside Home -for Little Children, at Lighthouse Point, -Toronto Island, with an accommodation -for 250 patients and an entire hospital -equipment; here, during the summer months, -the suffering little ones are won back to -health and strength with the aid of the cool -breezes which sweep across Lake Ontario. -Included in his benefactions to the Hospital -he erected, equipped and presented to the -Hospital (as a memorial of his first wife) a -five-storey nurses’ brick residence, containing -125 rooms, which has been declared to be the -most perfect building of its kind ever erected; -in July, 1911, he presented to the Heather -Club an extension to the pavilion for tubercular -children in connection with the Lakeside -Home. He built and established a complete -plant for the pasteurization of milk, on -the Hospital grounds, College St., Toronto, -the only one of its kind in the Dominion. -By his will the whole of his estate will -ultimately go to this philanthropy. He was -an all-round amateur athlete, and has been -sometimes called “The Father of Amateur -Hockey in Ontario”; was President of the -Ontario Hockey Association, 1899-1905. He -sat for East Toronto in 1896-1900 in the -House of Commons as an Independent -Conservative, pledged to oppose any Government -which would attempt to establish -separate schools in Manitoba, to support -the “National Policy,” and to vote for -the general good of the country. According -to Sir Charles Tupper (q.v.) he was in all -respects “a model member,” and a devoted -Imperialist. In religion he was a Presbyterian. -In February, 1917, Mr. Robertson -was offered in the New Year’s honors -a knighthood and a senatorship, both of -which honors he gratefully declined. A -well-known politician said, “It is the first -time in the history of Canada that anyone -declined a knighthood and a senatorship in -the same day.” He was a member of the -National, Victoria and Arts and Letters -Clubs; Constitutional (Conservative) Club, -London, Eng. “A born journalist”—“Canada,” -of London, Eng.; “A truly independent -man”—D. McCarthy, Q.C., M.P.; “Possesses -a heart as big as that of an ox”—Hamilton -“Spectator”; “The good angel of many of -Toronto’s charitable institutions”—Hamilton -“Times”; “No man need desire a more -noble monument than these Hospital buildings, -which would keep Mr. Robertson’s -memory green if all other achievements were -forgotten”—Toronto “Globe”; “He has risen -step by step until he is to-day recognized as -one of the keenest, most practical and successful -publishers of the Dominion.

Subsequently -he studied for the legal profession at -Osgoode Hall, Toronto, and was called to the -Bar of Ontario in 1888. He commenced the -practice of law in Sault Ste.

He was an unsuccessful -candidate in Algoma East in 1894, -but in the Ontario Legislative elections in -1902 he helped to organize a group of newly -defined constituencies in Northern Ontario -for Mr. (afterward Sir) James P. Whitney, -and by his effective methods largely assisted -in placing them in the Conservative column. -When the Whitney Government was formed -in 1905 Mr. Hearst was appointed Government -agent in connection with the guarantee -loan furnished to the Lake Superior -Corporation, under the provisions of -which the Government had a voice in the -management of the corporation until the -loan should be liquidated.

On -the death of Sir James Whitney in 1914, he -was asked to form a Government, all his -former colleagues accepting office under him. -He was sworn in as Prime Minister and President -of the Council on October 2, 1914, this -being practically the last official act of Sir John -Gibson, as Lieutenant-Governor.

On February -13, 1917, he was created a Knight -Commander of the Order of St. Michael and -St. George. The Premiership of Sir William -Hearst has been marked by energetic administration -and progressive legislation. He took -office at a time of peculiar difficulty in Canadian -affairs, when the great war had been -in progress for two months and when it was -becoming evident that it would be necessary -for a vast and united effort if it was to be -successfully prosecuted. Perhaps his most -radical step was his act of 1916, to prohibit -the sale of intoxicating liquors throughout -the province of Ontario. Subsequent orders-in-Council -by the Federal government gave -this act the effect of absolute prohibition. -In 1917 he introduced and carried an act -to confer the Parliamentary franchise on -women. Under his leadership a comprehensive -measure previously enacted providing -for compensation to workmen for injuries -was put into successful operation and extended. -An important measure of his provides -for loans to settlers, and he has also taken -practical steps to deal with the housing -problem. The policy of Sir James Whitney -and Sir Adam Beck of government control -and operation of the water powers of the -province, known as the Hydro-Electric -system has been amplified under Sir William -Hearst.

Mr. Cockshutt took -great interest in the recruiting of the 125th -Battalion at present overseas and has the -honor of being the father of three sons, all of -whom are serving in the army at present -and have all reached the front at least once. -His son, Major Ashton Cockshutt, now of the -125th but formerly of the 10th Battalion, -1st Contingent, was a fully qualified Lieutenant -in the 103rd Calgary Rifles when the war -broke out and immediately enlisted and went -overseas with the first Contingent, training -during the winter at Salisbury Plain, crossing -to France in the early spring, saw heavy -fighting at St. Julien, Festubert, and Givenchy, -was wounded on June 6, 1915, and after -convalescing at various military hospitals was -given furlough back to Canada and after a -long hard struggle regained his health and -immediately re-enlisted with the 125th -Battalion and is now serving at Bramshott -Camp.

Finishing the full -course of study at the College of L’Assomption, -he became a member of the Provincial -Bar, establishing himself as a legal practitioner -in the city of Montreal, where in a few -years he came to be recognized as an astute -advocate as well as a prospective candidate -for political honors. In 1870 his legal fame -was enhanced by the part he took professionally -in the famous Guibord Case, and by his -service before the Privy Council in England -in behalf of the Provincial Government of -Quebec. At length, in 1872, he was elected -member for Montreal East, defeating Sir -George E. Cartier, the French-Canadian -colleague of Sir John A. Macdonald. When -the Liberal Leader, the Hon. Alexander -Mackenzie was Prime Minister, Mr. Jetté -was offered the position of Minister of Justice, -but accepted in preference a place on -the Bench. This he retained for twenty -years up to 1898, when he was appointed -Lieutenant-Governor of his native province. -While still practising his profession in Montreal, -he became Professor of Civil Law in -Laval University and a Dean of its Faculty, -having been honored by the same with the -degree of LL.D., as well as by Bishop’s College -University with a D.C.L. and by Toronto -University with an LL.D. In 1891 he -was appointed Chairman of the Royal Commission -charged with the investigation of -affairs connected with the Baie-des-Chaleurs -Railway, finally refusing to agree, however, -to the decision of his two colleagues.

And at the end of his second -term he was appointed Chief Justice of the -Court of King’s Bench, retiring in 1911. Few -Canadians have had so many honors conferred -upon them as has Sir Louis Jetté.

He began his business -career in 1887 as a clerk in the offices of the -London and Canadian Loan and Agency -Company, Toronto, at that time one of the -best known financial corporations of the -province. With this company he remained -until 1897 when he accepted an offer to go -to Windsor, Ont., and engage in the oil and -natural gas industry. In 1903 he became -President of the Windsor Gas Company and -continued in that office until 1917. At the -present time he has many interests in the -city of his adoption.

From early manhood -Mr. Kennedy had been a Liberal in -politics and in 1917 when Sir Robert Borden -formed a Union Government and decided to -carry out the policy of conscription without -submitting the question to the Canadian -people through the medium of a referendum, -he was one of those Liberals who stood back -of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in opposing such a -course.

In the two months’ campaign -that ensued Mr. Kennedy made many -friends by his sane and reasonable methods -of electioneering and when the ballots were -counted on December 17, 1917, it was found -that he had been elected by a handsome -majority, which was not annulled by the -vote of the soldiers overseas, details of which -were received later. During the parliamentary -session Mr. Kennedy made -his maiden speech as a legislator in the -budget debate, and made a very fine impression -on friends and political opponents -alike by his brilliant handling of financial -questions.

Sir William Thomas</span>, -P.C., M.P.</span>, Finance Minister of Canada, is -a Canadian statesman whose meteoric rise to -fame during less than a decade, has attracted -more than national attention. He was born -at Bronte, Ont., November 13, 1866, the son -of James and Elizabeth (Graham) White. -His father was a farmer and his early education -was obtained at Oakville public school -and Brampton High School. Later he entered -Toronto University and graduated in -1895 with the degree of B.A. and honors in -classics. During his university career he won -two first-class scholarships and a gold medal. -Subsequently he took up a course of law at -Osgoode Hall, Toronto and was called to the -Bar of the province in 1899, but never practised. -During his period as an arts and law -student he supported himself, first as a reporter -on the Toronto “Telegram,” where his -writings showed singular eloquence and ability; -and later, as one of the assessors of the -Civic Assessment Department. The knowledge -of real estate values and of financial -questions which he had gained in the latter -capacity, as well as his general abilities, led -a group of Toronto capitalists to tender him -in 1900, the General Managership of the National -Trust Company, which they had recently -formed. This post he held for nearly -eleven years and during that interval attained -a high status in the financial community. -Though a Liberal in politics, he had never -been known as an active politician. In the -summer of 1911, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier, -then Prime Minister, appealed to the country -to ratify the Knox-Fielding pact calling for -reciprocity in natural products between Canada -and the United States, Mr. W. T. White, -as he was then known, was one of eighteen -prominent Toronto Liberals who issued a -manifesto against the proposals of their -former political chieftain and decided to support -Mr. Robert Borden. He himself took -the platform against the pact as liable to -disturb the equilibrium of trade at a time -when Canada was enjoying unexampled prosperity. -The result of this and other appeals -was that many thousands of voters, previously -Liberal, abandoned the party lines and -defeated the Laurier administration by a -large majority. When called upon to form -a government in the latter part of September, -1911, Mr. Borden felt that it was due to the -large number of Liberals who had supported -him, that they should be represented in the -Cabinet. On consultation with the leaders -of the group, known as “Borden Liberals,” -they were unanimously of the opinion that -Mr. White was the best available choice. -Despite the fact that he was without previous -political experience, the Conservative Leader -decided to offer him the most important portfolio -in the Cabinet, that of the Ministry of -Finance. On Mr. White’s accepting the -office, a seat was found for him in the House -of Commons by the elevation of Mr. George -Taylor, M.P. for Leeds, and formerly Conservative -whip, to the Senate. At a by-election -held on November 4, 1911, Mr. White -was elected to Parliament by a considerable -majority, despite the fact that the election -was marked by severe personal attacks on -him, because of his so-called “desertion” of -the Liberal party. Mr. White answered the -challenge by the statement that he “believed -that there was no healthier sign of the times -than that an honest man should change his -party in the interests of his country.” His -maiden speech in the House of Commons, -which was delivered on Nov. 29, 1911, was -awaited throughout the country with great -interest, and at once stamped him as one of -the coming men in Canadian politics. Since -then his budget speeches have proclaimed -him as a financier of masterly intellect. Had -Mr. White known in 1911 that the task lay -before him of financing Canada’s contribution -to the prosecution of the greatest war -the world has ever known, he would possibly -have declined office. When in 1914, Germany -made war against all Europe, and Canada -decided to support the Motherland, perhaps -the gravest task of all fell on the Minister -of Finance, because up to that time -Canada had been a heavy borrower from -the Motherland, and these sources of supply -would naturally be cut off if the war continued -for a lengthy period. In fact, in 1914, many -eminent financiers believed that the financial -resources of the world would not stand the -strain of a war of more than six months’ -duration. The Canadian Minister of Finance -however laid his plans for a long war; and in -addition to the task of financing Canada’s -magnificent military effort, applied himself to -the problem of keeping up Canada’s trade at -a figure that would enable her to continue -as a belligerent. He had also the task thrust -upon him of acting as banker for Great -Britain, France, Russia and other belligerents, -who made the finance department at -Ottawa the clearing house for their enormous -financial dealings with the merchants and -manufacturers of the United States. During -the first year of the war Great Britain was -able to render financial assistance to Canada -and others of the overseas dominions; and -Mr. White floated some large loans in the -United States. But it was already apparent -that Canada must shortly finance herself. -In 1916 he visited England and fully acquainted -himself with the situation, and in -the same year was created a Knight Commander -of St. Michael and St. George, in -recognition of his war services. Sir Thomas -decided to test Canada’s own resources -and floated a large war loan the -bulk of it being taken by Canadian -capitalists, although a certain number -of small investors were also attracted to it. -Up to 1917, however, there were only about -60,000 holders of Canadian bonds in this -country. In the summer of 1917, when Canada -seemed to face a serious financial crisis, -Sir Thomas decided to try the experiment of -a great popular loan to be known as the Victory -Loan, on the lines of the popular loans -floated during the American Civil War, by -the celebrated financier Jay Cooke. He collected -a superb organization, embracing all -the leading financiers, newspapers and selling -agencies of Canada and asked the people to -lend their government $300,000,000, to be -spent entirely in Canada for war purposes. -The result passed all expectations, for the -loan was over-subscribed by more than one -hundred million dollars, and about 875,000 -became holders of Victory Bonds. Canada -was enabled to do this by the fact that Sir -Thomas and the Borden administration as a -whole had, by adopting the policy of financing -British credits in this country, secured -enormous war orders for agricultural supplies -and munitions for her farmers and manufacturers, -so that the flow of money during the -war reached unexampled heights. The first -Victory Loan of 1917 was fruitful of good -results, because it enabled Canada to continue -this policy on a more extended scale, -so that, though this enormous sum was invested -in bonds, and added to the savings of -the people, a few months later the average -of deposits in the savings banks of the country -was larger than it had been before the -first Victory Loan was floated. In the latter -part of 1917 the health of Sir Thomas broke -down as a result of his stupendous anxieties -and labors, but after a vacation of several -months in California he returned to this country -restored in health. In the autumn of -1918 he decided to float another Victory Loan, -asking, as in 1917, for $300,000,000, but setting -the real objective at $500,000,000. The -result was another enormous over-subscription, -nearly $700,000,000 having been subscribed. -That such a showing should have -been made by a country so limited in population -as Canada, is the best proof of his skill -as administrator of the nation’s finances during -the most trying epoch in the history of -the world. So thoroughly has Sir Thomas -the confidence of his leader, Sir Robert -Borden, that when in November, 1918, he -left Canada for an indefinite absence as a -member of the European Peace Conference, -he appointed the Minister of Finance Acting -Prime Minister, to take charge of the hazardous -task of re-organizing the country on a -peace basis. Sir Thomas is a profound student -and thinker and a public speaker of rare -ability. Among his activities prior to his -removal to Ottawa were those of a member -of the Board of Governors of Toronto University -and Trustee of Toronto General Hospital. -He is a Methodist in religion, and a -member of the Rideau Club, Ottawa, and the -York and Toronto Clubs, Toronto.

He -has been prominent in the public life as well -as the business circles of Quebec, having -been a member of parliament for one of the -electoral divisions of the place and afterwards -Chairman of the Harbor Commission. -It was while he held the latter office that he -took service as one of the organizers of the -Valcartier Military Camp, earning high -praise from the Governor-General and the -Militia Department, and finally receiving his -knighthood at the hands of King George. -As Colonel in Command he raised the 171st -Battalion, which he took over to England in -1916, continuing his services with the army -as one of the officers of a Railway Construction -Battalion in France, after the 171st had -been absorbed in other battalions, in terms -of what is known as the Territorial System. -No citizen of Quebec has earned higher credit -for patriotic effort than Sir William. Setting -aside his many business duties and resigning -a lucrative government position, he ably -fulfilled the duties assigned to him as a -soldier. The responsible positions he has -held as a business man and a public-spirited -citizen have been manifold. Besides being -President of the Price Brothers & Company, -he has been Director and Honorary Chairman -of the Union Bank; a Director of the Quebec -Railway, Light, Heat and Power Company; -Vice-President of the Canadian Lumberman’s -Association; as well as being President -of the Metis Lumber Company, the Jonquiere -Pulp and Paper Company, the Gravel Lumber -Company, and President of the Canadian -Export Co. Nor did his business -engagements hinder him from taking an -active part in civic and charitable enterprises -to which he has given beneficently of -his means. At one time he was a Governor -of the Jeffrey Hale Hospital, President of -the Board of Trade, Director of the Trans-Canadian -Railway project, an energetic supporter -of the movement in favor of the -National Battlefields Park, and President of -the Quebec Turf Club. As far back as 1887, -he took a practical interest in local military -affairs, having been a lieutenant in the -Eighth Royal Rifles, and being raised to his -captaincy before his withdrawal from that -company in 1903. As a prelude to his activity -as a military organizer at the Valcartier -Camp, he raised two companies for service -during the Boer War, and encouraged rifle -practice by presenting the Price Cup for -competition at the targets. As a parliamentarian -he had a term of three years; but his -earlier defeat in the Rimouski constituency -was repeated by Quebec West in 1911. As -has been well said of him, he has proved -himself to be a citizen of whom any community -might well be proud. He was married in -1894, to Miss Amelia Blanche Smith, daughter -of Mr. R. H. Smith, another of Quebec’s most -prominent and worthy lumber merchants. -His family consists of four sons and two -daughters. Sir William has since his early -days been an enthusiast as a “portageur,” -and a keen sportsman. He owns two salmon-breeding -rivers and extensive hunting -grounds.

He is a member -of the Board of Regents of Victoria University, -Toronto; a member of several Orders, -among which is included the Orange Order, -and many National and Philanthropic Societies. -Mr. Kemp was first elected to the -House of Commons at the general elections -in 1900, and again returned in 1904. In 1908 -he was defeated, but was re-elected at the -general elections in 1911 by a very large -majority. Upon the resignation of Sir -Wilfrid Laurier and his Cabinet on October -6, 1911, following the defeat of the Liberal -Party at the polls the previous September, -he joined the Borden Government as Minister -without Portfolio, and was sworn in a -member of the Privy Council for Canada on -October 10, 1911. After the outbreak of the -war he was called upon by his Government -to assume many important positions, among -which was included the Chairmanship of the -War Supplies Purchasing Commission, a position -that required the keenest foresight, -courage and action, and which practically -demanded all his time. It later developed -that the Government made no mistake in -placing him at the head of this Commission, -and great credit is due him for the manner -in which he conducted its affairs. Upon the -resignation of Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of -Militia in the Borden Government, in November, -1916, Mr. Kemp was asked by Sir -Robert Borden to accept the position as -Minister of Militia, and accepted, and on -December 14, 1916, was re-elected by acclamation -by his constituents in East Toronto. -Subsequently he was asked to accept the -post of Overseas Minister, resident in London, -and in this capacity he served throughout -the momentous period of 1918, when he was -directly in touch with Canada’s Army in -France. In social life he has many friends, -and is always ready to receive them in a -manner that draws them closer to him. As a -public man there is a great future before -him, and he has won praise for having accepted -office at the most critical moment in -the history of Canada. When the greatest -war the world has known draws to a close, -and the history of the noble sons who fought -and worked with the Allies in their different -nations is written, the name of Hon. Albert -Edward Kemp will come in for a full share of -credit for the able and systematic methods -adopted in helping the Motherland to continue -to wave the flag that stands for freedom -and justice.

At this -time the firm of James Gibb & Company was -one of the largest of the wholesale grocery -and provision houses in what has always been -known as the Lower Town of Quebec; and -there the Scottish lad laid the foundation of -his business career, which was eventually to -place him among the wealthiest merchants -of Canada. In 1843, Mr. Thomas O. Gibb, -son of Mr. James Gibb, returned to Quebec, -after finishing his school education in Edinburgh; -and in the same year a company was -formed in which Thomas O. Gibb, John Ross, -and James G. Ross were the partners, until -the first mentioned of the three died in 1845. -Eventually, on Mr. James Gibb’s death, the two -Ross brothers took the business name of Ross -& Co., and as such continued in active operation -up to the year 1868. By this time the -firm had amplified its business by other -branches of trading; and in 1868 the older -of the two members of the firm withdrew to -conduct a business of his own, for the most -part confined, as it was, to the grocery and -provision trade. With him was associated -his youngest brother, Frank Ross. At the -time of the Senator’s death, in 1888, the firm -of Ross & Co. had developed into one -of the wealthiest business concerns in the -country, having depots for the distribution of -their wares in nearly all the larger cities of -Canada and the United States. With millions -at his command, the sole partner of the -firm took an active interest in shipbuilding -and railroad construction. Nearly every -branch of industry was enhanced by the -money advances of the multi-millionaire. -The shipping interests, especially, felt the -effects of his business acumen, especially when -he took in charge for sailing purposes the -ships the building of which he had assisted -with advances of money, but which, for -market reasons could not for a time be -sold. The railroads which came in for -assistance included the Quebec and Lake -St. John Railway and the Quebec Central, -both of which may trace their success -as paying concerns to the financial foresight -of Senator James G. Ross, who thus -both directly and indirectly aided the -colonization of the country and its trading -interests by the assistance he extended to -their promoters. Nor was it easy for -one so prominent in the commercial interests -of the ancient capital to refuse to be -nominated as a candidate for parliamentary -honors. On two several occasions he was -called upon to contest the electoral division -of Quebec Centre, once in the Conservative -interest in 1872, against Mr. Cauchon, afterwards -Governor of Manitoba, and a second -time as an Independent, in 1878, against Mr. -Malouin. In both instances he was defeated, -though afterwards he was considered worthy -to succeed the Hon. David Price as Senator, in -1884. He was unmarried; but in the families -of his two brothers, John and Frank, he is -notably represented to-day by Mr. John -Theodore Ross, the only son of the former, -and Frank W. Ross, surviving son of the -latter, both of whom have evidently in them -the desire inherited from their uncle, James -G. Ross, to advance the interests of their -native city. The Hon. Senator Ross was a prominent -citizen other than in business and political -circles. He took an interest in school improvements -and church advancement. He -was for many years President of the Quebec -Bank, a Director of the Quebec High School, -and an elder in Chalmers Church. As may -well be said of his beneficent uncle, James -Gibb, Senator James Gibb Ross was a liberal -benefactor to the institutions of Quebec, both -before his death and after it. He accumulated -his millions in Peter Street, and every -Protestant institution in the city of his -adoption benefited by his wealth in some -way or another.</p> - -<hr class='tbk121'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='goui'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Gouin, The Hon. Sir Jean Lomer</span>, -K.C.M.G., LL.B., LL.D.</span>, Premier of the -Province of Quebec, was born at Brondines, -of the County of Portneuf, on March 19, -1861. He comes from a French-Canadian -stock whose lineage can be traced as far back -as 1662. His father was J. N. Gouin, M.D., who -married Miss Victoire Seraphine Fugère in -1852. In his earlier years, their son Lomer became -a pupil of Sorel College, thereafter entering -as an under-graduate the College of Levis, -and afterwards graduating at Laval University. -His collegiate honors include the degree -of LL.D., received successively from -Laval in 1902, from Bishop’s College University -in 1913, and from Toronto University in -1915. He was called to the Bar in 1884, after -studying law under the late Sir John Abbott -and the Hon. B. Laflamme. He had thus -been a student under the supervision of a -Prime Minister of Canada and of a Minister -of Justice. During his partnership with -Judge Pagnuello and the Hon. Premier -Honore Mercier, whose daughter Eliza he -married in 1888, he came into prominence in -the law courts of Montreal, being finally elected -Batonnier-General in 1910, after having -served a term as Alderman of that city, and -elected a Member of the Local Legislature. -In 1900 he became Commissioner of Public -Works in the Parent Administration for four -years. Resigning his place in the Parent -Cabinet in 1904, he was called to the premiership -the year after, holding the portfolio of -Attorney-General up to the present time. -During the general election of 1916 his administration -of public affairs was upheld by a -majority never before vouchsafed to a Quebec -premier; while the list of honors conferred -upon him since his advent to power is -perhaps one of the longest on record. He -was knighted by the reigning Sovereign of -the Empire at the Quebec Tercentenary -Celebration of 1908, and was made a -K.C.M.G. in the year 1913. Ever animated -with a desire to see his native province an -advancing factor in the general progress of -the Dominion of Canada, as well as of the -British Empire, he has been diligent in promoting -the public works that have to be -fostered within the counties and parishes, -as well as in the cities and larger towns, in -line with the general advancement of the -commonwealth. He has done his best to -improve the educational conditions of the -communities, not forgetting likewise to improve -the highways and the industrial activities -all over the province. His zeal in establishing -and liberally subsidizing Industrial -Schools and Technical Colleges has become a -proverb in all the provinces; while, in view -of his support of a provincial grant -of one million dollars to the Canadian Patriotic -Fund during the time of war, his reputation -as a broad-minded Canadian citizen has -been placed beyond all questioning. Senator -David has pronounced a eulogium on Premier -Gouin that places him in rank <a id='with'></a>with, if not beyond, -those who have preceded him in the Quebec -premiership. Within these war-times he has -advocated a National War Service in the -most fervent terms, illustrating Senator -David’s estimate of his statesmanship as -that of a highly capable servant of the State, -in his impartial judgment, prudence, eloquence, -and administrative acumen. His -share in the Bonne Entente mission to -Ontario in 1917, to plead, with others, -for a closer mutual understanding between -the two leading races in Canada, has given -an éclat to his statesmanship. He would -see Canada a unit while aiding the mother -lands in Europe by force of arms, and -thus uphold the prestige of the British -Empire. And the various offices Sir Lomer -Gouin has held from the day he entered -public life in 1891, indicate the strenuous -part he has played as a public-spirited -Canadian. In 1891, he was President -of the National Club in Montreal, which -was virtually “the Executive of the Liberal -Party” in the Montreal district. That year -he was defeated in his first election contest. -Six years after he was elected representative -for the St. James Electoral Division of Montreal, -and thereafter has been member for -his native County of Portneuf. He has continued -to be a Member of the Council of -Public Instruction since 1898; became President -of the American Fish and Game Protection -Association in 1910; was Chairman -of the Ottawa Inter-provincial Conference in -1906, and afterwards a delegate to a like -Conference in 1910. As from one “learned -in the law,” his edition of the Municipal -Code is a standard work; while no one has -so well at his command the details of parliamentary -law-and-order as he has, as leader -of the House of Assembly. The record of -his regime is concisely given in a neat little -volume published in 1916, under the title of -“Le Gouvernment Gouin et Son Oeuvre.” -Another volume referring to the federal subsidies -in favor of the provinces was published -in 1903, giving the amplified record of an -address delivered by Sir Lomer under the -heading of “The Actual Question.” These -volumes, together with the reports of his -speeches from time to time, indicate how Sir -Lomer Gouin has ever had in mind the -public interest—seeing to the improving of -the conditions in his native province, even -to the widening out of its area as in the case -of the annexation of the District of Ungava, -building government works, and highways, -and bridges, and never forgetting to urge it -to keep pace with its sister provinces in the -federacy which includes them all within the -Dominion of Canada. In seeing to the advancement -of the province he has in charge -as premier, he has made fame for himself as -a loyal statesman and dignified scholar, duly -honored by the King and his country’s seats -of learning. He was married to Miss Alice -Amos, his second wife, in 1911.

From that institution -he graduated in 1890. After serving as a -Lieutenant in the Hazara Expedition, wherein -his bravery was mentioned in dispatches -and by the award of a medal and clasp, -his advancement has proceeded steadily -with his experience in active service. He -took part with the International Forces in -the occupation of the Island of Crete, and -was there raised to the rank of Major. During -the South African War, he joined the -Canadian Contingent, and won his D.S.O. -with other honors, during the several engagements -of the campaign. In command of a -regiment of mounted infantry he shared in -conflict after conflict with the Boers, taking -part in the relief of Kimberley, and in the -engagements of Paardeberg, Poplar Grove, -Prefontaine, Johannesburg, Pretoria and -Diamond Hill, and many others. After -serving in Nigeria, he was given the rank of -Lieut.-Colonel, his name from time to time -occurring in the dispatches to the War Office. -As an interruption to his service in Nigeria, he -was called to China during the Boxer uprising, -and was present at the relief of Pekin by the -International Forces.

Later -on he was gazetted as Inspector-General of -the West African Field Force, with the rank -of Brigadier-General, a position he was holding -when Germany declared war in 1914. -Since then he has gained further distinction -and promotion. With a combined force of -French and English troops numbering nearly -ten thousand, he shared in the conquest of -the German Colony of the Cameroons, a territory -covering an area in all of 300,000 -square miles. On New Year’s Day, 1916, -the order of C.M.G. was bestowed upon him -by King George, and eventually, at the close -of the Cameroon Expedition, he received -the honor of K.C.B., as well as the Legion -of Honor from the President of the -French Republic, being at the same time -gazetted as a Major-General of the British -Army.

Four years afterwards he took the -degree of Bachelor of Applied Science in -Laval University, where for a period he was -Titular Professor of Analytical Chemistry. -For a time he held the position of assistant -engineer on the construction staff of the -Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, previous -to his being taken in as a partner in his -father’s wholesale dry goods establishment. -Aside from his business pursuits, he identified -himself with civic affairs, and on being elected -alderman, he was chosen as Mayor in 1906, -and at the close of his term was unanimously -re-elected for a second term of two years. It -was while he was Mayor that he became -Chairman of the National Battlefields Commission, -in 1908. During that year there -occurred the Tercentennial Celebration of the -founding of Quebec.

The Transactions -of the Royal Society and of the Literary -and Historical Society bear testimony -to his industry in preparing historical -and antiquarian matter for publication, -which otherwise might have been lost. -For instance, he successfully located the site -of the fountain from which the founder of -the colony, Samuel de Champlain, had water -drawn to supply his habitation, as well as -the site of the house in which General Montcalm -lived during his sojourn in Quebec, and -the house in which he died; the site of the -place of abode of Abraham Martin, whose -name is perpetuated in the name of the historic -battlefield; the site of Dumont’s Mill, -near the baylet curvature of the St. Lawrence -known as Wolfe’s Cove; the location of -Claire Fontaine, that gave its name to the -street which, as an elevated pathway on the -brow of Perrault’s Hill, saw the marshalling -of Montcalm’s troops in three divisions; besides -the locations of many other historical -landmarks in the Ancient Capital.

The patronymic -Cole is of very ancient Saxon -origin: It appears in the “Domesday Book.” -The public records show that in the year -1640, Sir John Cole, of Shenley, in Hertfordshire, -England, was a landed proprietor. His -son, Adam, married and had issue a son, -Cornelius. This Cornelius Cole emigrated -to America in the year 1708; in 1711 he became -a justice of Albany County comprised -within the limits of what was called “Livingston -Manor.” His land was next to that of -W. T. Livingston, and extended from the -Manor House road to Jansens’s Kill, or -creek, and was one of the finest farms in the -Manor. He had three sons, named Nicholas, -John and Adam. On the breaking out of -the rebellion, Cornelius Cole and his sons, -John and Adam, espoused the cause of England, -and the sons joined the Royalist forces. -As the war proceeded the feeling ran so high -against the “Tories,” as the Royalists were -called, and Cornelius Cole, although an old -man, was seized and imprisoned, where he -died a victim of fidelity to Motherland. His -property was confiscated, and his sons forced -to seek a home in the wilds of Canada. In -1773 John and Adam Cole with his wife and -her two brothers, Jonathan, Jr., and Abel -Fulford, left with other United Empire Loyalists -for Canada, and passing up the St. -Lawrence, they landed and settled in the -County of Leeds, in that part now called the -Township of Elizabethtown, at a point on -the River St. Lawrence about five miles west -of the present town of Brockville, which -place is still called “Cole’s Ferry.” Here -Adam Cole settled, being, as he was frequently -heard to say, the first person to begin a settlement -in the Township of Elizabethtown. -Some years after the close of the war, Peter, -a son of John Cole, returned to his grandfather’s -old home in Ulster County, to ascertain -whether he could recover some of the -family estate, which had been confiscated, -but failed, as the authorities had granted the -property to other persons. Adam Cole’s wife -was Thankful Fulford, also descended from -Loyalist stock. Her father, Jonathan Fulford, -sen., with the rest of his family came in -1784, and settled in the same neighborhood, -and left numerous descendants. Adam Cole’s -family, in 1812, consisted of nine sons and -seven daughters, besides four who died in -infancy. Five of the sons served in the -War of 1812, the eldest, Peter, having -assisted in the capture of Ogdensburg, -and subsequently held the rank of captain. -The house of Adam Cole was the general -headquarters of the military, when they -were in that section of country, or when -moving between Montreal and Kingston. It -is related of Peter Cole, the eldest son, that -in the year 1810, the mail carrier was taken -sick at his father’s house, and Peter took the -mail to Kingston, where he received that -from Toronto and carried it back to Montreal. -At Montreal he took charge of the mail for -the west, which had been accumulating for a -month and weighed upwards of sixty pounds, -and carried it to Kingston. He accomplished -the whole trip, going and coming, of 430 miles -on foot, in fourteen days, and this was in -March, when the trail most of the way -was through the forest and very difficult. He -received for this service, from the Government -the sum of fifteen dollars. Abel Cole, -who was the youngest son of Adam Cole, died -December 9, 1893, aged 88 years. His -wife, Catherine Seaman, a grand-daughter -of Caleb Seaman, died Nov. 2, 1893, aged -83 years, being one of the sons of Caleb -Seaman who was with Lord Cornwallis at -York Town. Wilmot Howard Cole, second -son of Abel Cole, was educated at Brockville. -He commenced mercantile business in 1855, -and continued in the same until 1882. The -old spirit of loyalty which he inherited, -prompted him upon the organization of the -Volunteer Militia of Canada in 1855, to become -a member of the old “Brockville Rifle -Company,” commanded by Major Smythe -(later of the 100th Regiment, British Army). -The late Col. James Crawford, William Fitzsimmons -(a former postmaster of Brockville), -the late Samuel Ross, William Morris, -Thomas Camm and other business men of -Brockville, shouldered their muskets and -learned the drill at the same time. Wilmot -Howard Cole filled every position in rank -from private to colonel of battalion. In December, -1864, he went with the Brockville -Rifle Company, as lieutenant, to Amherstburg, -in the County of Essex, remaining there -on duty until the following May. In November, -1865, the fear of a Fenian Raid was so -strong in the vicinity of the River St. Lawrence, -that the officers of the Brockville Rifle -Company (who were at the time, the late -Col. Crawford in command, Lieut. Cole, -Lieut. Robert Bowie, and the late Lieut. -Windeat), offered their services without pay, -and to increase their company to 100 men -to do duty for the protection of Brockville -and vicinity, by drilling the men and mounting -a heavy guard every night, with sentries -posted in different parts of the town, the men -only being paid twenty-five cents per day. -The offer was accepted by the government -and that duty performed until the ensuing -March, when a large portion of the volunteer -force were called out, and a provisional battalion -formed at Brockville, under command -of Col. Crawford, Lieut. Cole assuming command -of the Brockville Rifle Company, with -which he remained on duty until the next -November, part of the time at Brockville -and part at Cornwall. Again in 1870, as -major of the 41st battalion, he was on duty -at Cornwall during the Fenian excitement. -On June 28, 1871, he was appointed to -the command of the 41st battalion; on -June 28, 1898, he resigned, having held -the command for 27 years, and was a member -of the active force for 43 years. In 1913 -the Militia Department honored him with -the full rank of Colonel. Col. Cole occupied -various positions of trust and importance -in the gift of his fellow-citizens. He was -a member of the Town Council of Brockville -for fourteen years; a director for many -years, and president of the Johnstown -Mutual Fire Insurance Company; a member -of the Independent Order of Oddfellows -for many years, filling various offices in the -local lodge and also in the Grand lodge and -Grand Encampment. He was chosen by his -brethren to fill the position of Grand Master -the year the Sovereign Grand Lodge met in -Toronto, in September, 1880, who were entertained -by their Ontario brethren. He -always took an active part in everything that -would advance the interests of his native -town. In connection with the late Allan -Turner, he worked for many years to obtain -a system of waterworks for Brockville, and -in 1881 they organized a company, consisting -of Allan Turner, John McMullen, Thomas -Gilmour, George A. Dana, and Wilmot H. -Cole, to construct waterworks; and as a -result of the efforts of these gentlemen, -Brockville has now a most excellent system -of water supply for all purposes. Colonel -Cole was elected a member of the Legislature -of the Province of Ontario for the Brockville -riding, in the Liberal interest, at the -general elections in 1875, and was a warm -supporter of the Mowat Government. He -received the appointment of Registrar for the -County of Leeds in February, 1882. He was -president of the Brockville Loan and Savings -Company. Col. Cole was a member of the -Methodist Church, and for over fifty years -a trustee of the Wall Street Church in Brockville, -and was looked upon by his fellow -church members as ready to assist in carrying -forward all enterprises for the benefit of -the church. Col. Cole married Jane Adelaide, -youngest daughter of the late Abram -Philips, of New York. Their family consisted -of four children, two sons and two -daughters. The sons, following the traditions -of the family, entered the volunteer -force very early. The elder, Eugene Maurice -Cole, was bugler in the Brockville Rifle Company -in 1866, and did duty with that company -whenever on service; he subsequently -became lieutenant, after which he resigned, -having removed from Brockville. The -youngest son, Capt. George Marshall Cole, -was captain of No. 4 company, 41st battalion. -The latest enterprise which Col. Cole had -been connected with and will eventually benefit -his native town more than all the others, -was the Brockville, Westport and Sault Ste. -Marie Railway. The idea of a railway from -Brockville to Westport had been entertained, -and a charter was procured, but nothing -further was done, and after a time the charter -expired. Subsequently, Eugene M. Cole, -who was in business in New York City, and -enjoyed commercial relations with gentlemen -interested in building railways and other -public works, conceived the idea that a line -of railway from Brockville to Sault Ste. -Marie would prove an advantageous route -in many ways, and at the same time benefit -his native town. After much labor in gathering -statistical information, he laid the -whole matter before his father, who had it -brought before the leading men of the County -of Leeds, and the proposition made that if -the municipalities would bear the expense of -preliminary survey and obtain the charter, -and grant aid by way of bonus to the extent -of $125,000, Eugene M. Cole would work up -the scheme and obtain the capital and contractors -to build at least the first section of -the road to Westport. This was agreed to, -the last bonus by-law being passed on -July 15, 1885, and work on the construction -of the railway commenced on January -13, 1886. Although ably assisted by -many persons in the County of Leeds in connection -with the enterprise, the credit of the -inception of the scheme, and the labor in -working it up materially and financially, belong -to Eugene M. Cole. Colonel Cole died -December 13, 1915, in his eighty-second -year, being pre-deceased by his wife by about -two months.</p> - -<hr class='tbk130'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='scot2'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Scott, James Guthrie</span></span>, the prominent -railway manager of Quebec City, was born -in that city on February 13, 1847, the son of -Hugh Erskine Scott. His mother’s maiden -name was Margaret Chillas. The family of -the Scotts has filled an important place in the -community since the days of Mr. Scott’s -grandfather, who came from Scotland. Mr. -Henry S. Scott, hardware merchant, was his -uncle, and Mr. William C. Scott and Mr. -Charles Scott, his brothers, all of whom took -an active interest in the progress of the city, -as has their distinguished relative. The -latter received his early education at the -Quebec High School. In his seventeenth -year he had his first start in business in -the offices of the Montmorency Lumber -Mills, where he eventually became head of -one of the departments. In 1879, he entered -the service of the Quebec and Lake -St. John Railway, becoming, in time, its -general manager and assuming the onerous -task of having that line completed as far -as Chicoutimi and extended, under the -name of the Great Northern, to Hawkesbury, -Ont., across the Ottawa, a distance in -all of five hundred miles. But for Mr. -Scott’s supervisory tact and engineering -skill, Quebec would hardly have become -the important railway terminal that it -now is, not only of the Canadian Northern -System, but of the National Transcontinental. -During the earlier operations of the -Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, Mr. -Scott and his Board of Directors organized -a system of assisted colonization that peopled -the parishes all along their line, as many as -from ten to twelve thousand families being -induced to take up homesteads in the districts -opened up for settlement. For twenty-five -years Mr. Scott was <span class='it'>facile princeps</span> in -these beneficent operations; and it was only -when the Canadian Northern Railway Company -took over the properties supervised by -him in 1908, that he decided to retire from -office to take up other work involving -the commercial advancement of his native -city. In 1916 he was elected President of -the Quebec Board of Trade, after many years -of active service as one of its members, and -is also President of the British Columbia -Skeena Coal Company. For many years he -has been a member of the Quebec Geographical -Society and other associations; and his -contemporaries can look back with satisfaction -at the civic progress he awakened as a -railway projector and business man, and the -manufacturing centres he succeeded in locating -from the time he undertook to complete -the Lake St. John Railway. In June, 1908, -upon his retirement from the management -of the railway, he was given a banquet by the -citizens of Quebec at the Chateau Frontenac, -in recognition of the enterprising and successful -work he had done while completing -extensions north and west from the city, -and at the same time was presented with -testimonials of value. And in addition -to the story of his life as a railway manager -and projector, Mr. Scott has to his credit -twelve years’ service in the Militia, having -been called out to frustrate the advance -of the enemy in certain border raids near -Windsor, Ontario, in 1865, as well as to -protect Canada from the Fenian Raids, -during the four years succeeding that date. -In 1873 he married Miss Sophy Mary Jackson; -and in 1901 was married, for a second -time, to Miss Cordelia Mary Jackson, daughter -of Dr. Alfred Jackson, Dean of the Faculty -of Medicine, Laval University.

At the time of his graduation, the -Civil War between the Northern and Southern -States of the American Republic was -nearing its climax, and in the excitement of -events an opportunity offered itself to the -young student to mature his skill in surgery -and the healing art on the battlefield. He -was given employment in the army in North -Virginia, which was then under the command -of General Ulysses Grant. As an assistant -surgeon he remained with that army up to -the time of General Lee’s surrender, his -faithfulness and skill bringing him to the -notice of his medical associates and eventually -to the notice of the General in person. After -the war, Dr. Bender proceeded to New York -to gain further professional experience in the -hospitals, before entering upon the first period -of his residence in Quebec as a medical practitioner. -During that period he came into -touch with several of the rising public men -of the town, who made a kind of literary -rendezvous of his residence, much as years -afterwards the Circle de Dix used to hold -their seances out at Spencer Wood, under the -hospital auspices of Sir Adolphe Chapleau. -The social gatherings at Dr. Bender’s had -no doubt the effect of turning the attention -of the successful physician to literary work, -leading him to publish two volumes, respectfully -titled, “Literary Sheaves,” and “Old -and New Canada.” In 1884 he removed to -Boston, where he practised as a homeopathist, -and won a reputation among the literary men -of that city, as a contributor to the magazines -and reviews. Within the last ten years preceding -his death in 1917, he had his residence -again in Quebec.

In the -Dominion by-election of November 22, 1905, -made necessary by the death of Dr. Johnston, -the sitting member, Mr. Pardee was chosen -by the electors of West Lambton to represent -them in the Dominion House of Commons. -He was re-elected at the general elections of -1908 and 1911. In November, 1909, on the -nomination of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then Prime -Minister of Canada, he was unanimously -chosen as Chief Government Whip, and still -retains the important position of Chief -Liberal Whip to the present time (1917). In -the Dominion Parliament, as well as throughout -the country, Mr. Pardee’s public work -soon won him a position of usefulness and -responsibility. He is a forceful and effective -public speaker, and few public men are so -universally popular and so highly esteemed. -During his parliamentary career he has presided -over, and served upon, many of the -most important legislative committees of the -House of Commons and Senate. In 1910 he -was chosen by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to accompany -him on his memorable tour through the -Canadian West, making the first visit with -the then Prime Minister to the new Pacific -port of Prince Rupert. When, in 1911, the -Administration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier was -defeated at the polls upon the issue of reciprocal -trade in natural products with the United -States, and the Liberal party passed into -Opposition, Mr. Pardee continued as Chief -Whip and had a large share in the arduous -parliamentary and organization work which -ensued. Following the outbreak of the great -war it was he who defined in Parliament, -amid hearty approval from both sides of the -House, the patriotic obligations which devolved -upon Government and Opposition. -He devoted his time and energy, both in the -House and out of it, to patriotic endeavor, -addressing recruiting rallies and contributing -to the various national efforts of service and -sacrifice. He moved in Parliament for the -appointment of a special committee to consider -national steps to recompense and aid -returning wounded and maimed soldiers and -was named by the House as a member of that -committee. In 1918 he resigned the post of -Liberal Whip and supported Sir Robert -Borden on the question of Conscription, but -declined a portfolio in the Union Government. -In the general elections of that year -he was again re-elected for West Lambton -by a handsome majority. Mr. Pardee is -strongly democratic in spirit, and during -the parliamentary session of 1913-14, made -a vigorous plea to the House against the -indiscriminate bestowal of titles in Canada, -and issued a warning against the danger of -creating a pseudo-aristocracy in this young -Dominion. In religion he is an Anglican -and is a member of St. George’s Church, -Sarnia.</p> - -<hr class='tbk136'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='hind'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Hinds, Leonard D’Arcy Bernard</span></span>, Judgment -Clerk of the Supreme Court of Judicature -for Ontario, born Oct. 19, 1868, at -Barrie, Ontario.

Mr. Bronson is of mixed Scottish -and Welsh descent, and the family, which -is now scattered through most of the Northern -States, at an early period settled in New -England. Members of this enterprising and -clever family were the Hon. Greene C. Bronson, -of the New York bench, and the Rev. -Asa Bronson, who was for many years pastor -of the First Baptist Church, at Fall River, -Massachusetts. The first of the family to -find his way to Canada was the subject of -our sketch, and shortly after he came here -he led off in the lumber business. H. F. -Bronson spent his youthful days at Queensbury, -Warren County, New York, in the -family of the late J. J. Harris, and he concluded -his education at the Poultney Academy, -of Vermont. “Young Bronson,” says -a reliable authority, “became an apt scholar -in agricultural sciences, but soon showed -a preference for woodland foraging, pre-destined, -as he was, to become a great marauder -of pine forests.” In 1840, Mr. -Harris, already alluded to, purchased extensive -pine tracts, erecting mills on one -of the upper Hudson lakes. He formed a -partnership with his young and trusted friend, -Mr. Bronson, “whose assets consisted of a -sound constitution, a resolute will, unbending -integrity, skill with the hand, and a mind -to work.” The partnership continued for -twenty-two years, and during the last ten -years of the association, the greater portion -of the business responsibility fell upon our -subject, owing to the failure of Mr. Harris’ -health. It soon became plain that the pine -was rapidly disappearing from the upper -Hudson; therefore, in 1848, Mr. Bronson -passed over to Canada, proceeding along the -Ottawa Valley till the thunder of the Chaudiere -Falls burst upon his ears. At once he -was satisfied that here was an excellent place -to begin lumber operations; for the timber -seemed inexhaustible, and the water power -magnificent. He returned home, but in 1852 -he persuaded Mr. Harris to accompany him -to the Ottawa Valley. When they reached -again the region of kingly pines and booming -waterfalls, they were everywhere met with -testimony from river experts, saying that the -Ottawa was not suitable for the safe driving -of saw logs, but Mr. Bronson recommended -to his partner the purchase of hydraulic lots -at the Chaudiere Falls, then held by the -Crown. At the sale of the lots, made by Mr. -Horace Merrill, general superintendent of the -Ottawa River works, a purchase was made, -and here, under the personal supervision -of Mr. Bronson, their mills were built -within sound of the thunder of the falls. -The mills having been erected, Mr. Bronson -removed his family to Ottawa, and -there they were established permanently. -The relation of Mr. Bronson to the sawn lumber -trade of the Dominion of Canada will be -better understood when it is learned that his -was the first movement in the Ottawa District -for the manufacture of sawn lumber for -the United States market. The original mill -embodied all the modern improvements of -the times, including iron gates of novel model, -a contrivance planned by Mr. Bronson himself, -and afterwards used in most of the gang -saw mills on the Ottawa River. Several -other gentlemen, stimulated by the enterprise -and success of Mr. Bronson and his -partner, likewise set out for Ottawa; and, -after a time, chiefly owing to the persistency -of Mr. Bronson, a series of costly river improvements -were constructed, which made -the driving of logs upon the Ottawa a matter -of greater convenience than upon many a -smaller stream, which has no large lakes to -act as a reservoir for checking the fury of the -spring freshets. In 1864, Mr. Harris retired -from the business, Mr. Bronson still continuing -the extensive manufacture of sawn lumber, -and owing to his splendid abilities as a -manager, his operations not alone maintained -their ground, but gradually increased. -The present firm at Ottawa is known as The -Bronson Company. Mr. Bronson married, -on November 5, 1840, Editha E. Pierce, of -Bolton, N.Y., and had four children. Gertrude, -the only daughter, is the wife of Levi -Crannell. The sons are Erskine Henry, -Frank P., and Walter G. The family are -members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. -Bronson, like another great prince of business -men, Sir Hugh Allan, did not care for -political life, and held himself aloof from -parties, but he was connected with several -benevolent institutions and business enterprises. -In 1889, death called this pioneer -Canadian lumberman and high-principled -citizen. His private and social relations had -won for him everywhere good will and highest -regard. Men had learned to esteem the man -because of his tested and sterling worth. In -the commerce of Canada Mr. Bronson’s name -will go down in history as the first lumberman -in the Ottawa Valley to manufacture sawn -lumber for the American market, and as a -pioneer in the development of the resources -of that section of Canada to the point where -its principal city was deemed worthy of being -named as the Capital City of the Dominion. -Business courage and keenness of perception -were required to accomplish these ends, but -in more ways than one Mr. Bronson had -shown himself to be a man of practical vision -and rare foresight.

The family crest bears the -motto “Sapiens et Fidus.” His father -was born in Vermont, U.S., Feb. 12, 1810, -and came to Upper Canada in 1815, locating -in the County of South Leeds. After -attending school at Potsdam, N.Y., he -entered the Medical College at Fairfield, -N.Y., after which he returned to Harlem, -South Leeds, and began the practice of -medicine, which profession he followed -with more than common success, until his -death at Athens, on February 20, 1883. -He was Past Master of Harmony Masonic -Lodge, Leeds, one of the oldest, if not the -oldest, Masonic lodge in Upper Canada.

The early education of the subject -of this sketch was gained from parental -instruction at night around the old home -fireside, and at the Township School. He -attended the Grammar School at Perth for -some months in 1851, and then served some -two years as clerk in the general mercantile -establishment of Henry Laishley, at Elgin, -where he gained the business training and -experience that stood him so well in later life. -In 1851 he served as Lieutenant, under Capt. -Wm. J. Smith, and Col. Young, in the 8th -Battalion of Leeds Militia. Later he took -up the study of dentistry in the office of F. -D. Laughlin, Ottawa. After practising his -profession for some time, he went, in the fall -of 1857, to New York City, but later, yielding -to solicitations of his father, he returned -to his home in Athens, to take up medicine. -He matriculated at Queen’s College, Kingston, -in 1859, and passed the final examination -in March, 1862, receiving the degree of -Doctor of Medicine and Surgery, and his -license to practice in Canada, from the hands -of Governor-General Monk. On the 13th of -April following, Dr. Chamberlain located at -Morrisburg, County of Dundas, on the St. -Lawrence River, and during the succeeding -years built up a large and lucrative practice. -In 1859 he was requested by the government -of Sir Oliver Mowat to take the Inspectorship -of Public Institutions of Ontario. The -history of the doctor during these years is the -history of a busy life. Besides following his -profession, he served as Reeve of his municipality, -member of the Counties’ Council, -and Warden of the United Counties of Stormont, -Dundas and Glengarry, Justice of the -Peace, Health Officer, member of the High -and Public Board of Education, Director of -the Agricultural Association, and Director of -the Parry Sound Lumber Company.

Rose, Superintendent of the -Williamsburg Canals, and with other members -of the company was out night and day -on guard at the locks, and in the village, as -an attack was daily expected to be made by -General O’Neal. On the 1st of July, the -General with 1,600 men appeared on the -bank of the river opposite Morrisburg. The -Government of Sir John A. Macdonald, realizing -the seriousness of the situation, and -desirous of keeping informed of O’Neal’s -movements, appointed a man to keep in -touch with O’Neal’s forces, but this man failing -to accept, Dr. Chamberlain, a strong -personal, but not a political, friend of Sir -John’s, was detailed for this duty. He accepted -the appointment, and taking his -horses and buggy, and accompanied by a -young man named Leslie Weaver, set out to -follow the Fenian force, and to report as -fully as possible their movements and designs. -Crossing the river to Waddington, N.Y., on -Capt. Murphy’s Ferry, on July 9, he found -that the Fenians had moved, and he followed -them to Malone, about 50 miles distant, over-taking -them about dark. Staying over night -and having obtained all information possible, -he left the next morning for Plattsburgh, -which place he made that evening. After a -wearisome and anxious night, he left Plattsburgh -for Whitehall, at the foot of Lake -Champlain, arriving there the next morning, -and at Saratoga in the evening. He continued -the journey to Troy and Albany, and -returned thence to Ogdensburg, Prescott, and -home to Morrisburg. The result of this close -espionage, and prompt reports by the scouts, -and the careful guarding of the river, was -that the invaders were compelled to abandon -their design of crossing the river, and to turn -their faces to the west. The doctor’s services -on this occasion were most effective and -valuable, yet he never applied for nor received -land grant, or medal, nor refund of his expenditure. -In 1879, the doctor, as Warden, -was appointed by the Counties’ Council, then -in session, to go as their representative to the -eastern boundary of the province, to meet -their Excellencies, the Governor-General, the -Marquis of Lorne, and the Princess Louise, -and welcome them to Ontario. Later in the -year he presented to their Excellencies at -Government House, Ottawa, an address on -behalf of the inhabitants of the United Counties -of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. -The doctor has always been an ardent politician, -an indefatigable worker, and a vigorous -but generous opponent. He was the candidate -of the Reform Party for the Legislative -Assembly for the county in 1879, and was -defeated by 81 votes. In 1882, he was again -the party candidate, this time for the House -of Commons, and again defeated by 79 votes. -Nothing discouraged, he again came before -the Electors, in 1886, for the Assembly, and -was elected by 25 majority. He was defeated -next election by 28 votes, and again -in 1904, was defeated for the Commons. In -conjunction with his brother-in-law, Mr. W. -G. Parish, of Athens, he established in the -seventies, the first three cheese factories in -Eastern Ontario. He carried on an extensive -drug business in Morrisburg, from 1886 -to 1873, when he sold it to Messrs. Carman -and Brown. In 1871, he received the degree -of L.R.C.P.S. from Queen’s College, Kingston, -as well as that of F.B.S. During his -practice in Morrisburg he had as students, -Messrs. Hart, McLean, Howes, Musgrove, -Lane, Shibbley, Beckstead and McKay, all -of whom became successful practitioners. -He was always a strong advocate of temperance, -and a member of the Methodist Church. -He became a member, under dispensation of -the Grand Master, of Rising Sun Masonic -Lodge, Athens, in 1857, and joined Excelsior -Lodge, Morrisburg, No. 142, G.R.C., in 1862, -and is yet an honorary life member, having -filled every office in the gift of the lodge, and -having received various decorations and gold -medals. In 1867 he became a member of -the Grenville Royal Arch Chapter, No. 23, -at Prescott. In 1869-70 he was elected by -the Grand Lodge, District-Deputy Grand -Master for St. Lawrence District. In 1885 -he received the 95 degrees in the Supreme -Rite of Memphis, known as the Sovereign -Sanctuary Degrees. In 1873 the doctor explored -the country east and north of Lake -Superior to the height of land, examining for -timber and minerals. In 1878 he explored -the country along the shores of Georgian Bay, -the “Soo,” and to the head of Lake Nipissing. -In 1883 he visited part of the southern, middle -and western States, including California, -Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and -Mexico. In 1889, leaving Montreal, he -travelled through the North-Western Territories, -and Victoria, Vancouver, Puget Sound, -and Washington Territory. From 1889 to -1904, he acted as one of the Provincial Inspectors -of Asylums, Prisons, Gaols and Hospitals, -serving in that capacity until 1904, -when he resigned, owing to ill health. In -1906 he was appointed by the Dominion Government, -under the Public Health Department, -Inspector of all the doctors employed -on Public Works, from the Red River to the -Pacific Ocean. In pursuance of the duties -of this position, he had to travel distances of -from 1,000 to 1,500 miles at a trip, ford rivers, -make his own trail over prairies, sleep in a -tent wherever night overtook him, in that -great lone land. In the winter of 1907, he -sent in his resignation, and in the spring of -1908, inspected and estimated the timber on -the Dokis Indian Reserve, Lake Nipissing. -The pine timber on this Reserve was sold by -the Government at Ottawa in June, and the -doctor bought one of the limits, and in the -fall had buildings, appliances, and materials -complete for lumbering operations. During -the winter he took out, and in the spring sent, -2,300 pieces of board timber, for the English -market, by way of Lake Nipissing to Callender, -thence by rail to Kingston, and rafting -it thence to Quebec. He closed up this -deal, and in 1910 went to California, visiting -by the way, the principal cities in the West. -During the past 30 years, he has bought and -sold large quantities of pine timber in Ontario, -and prospected for and located mines -in the Rainy River and Lake-of-the-Woods -Districts, and explored almost every part of -Northern Ontario mining and timber lands. -Dr. Chamberlain married, in 1862, Annetta, -third daughter of Arza Parish, Esq., merchant, -Athens.

Richard first appears -in the New Haven Colony in 1638, and was a -man of some note in his day. Thomas first -appears in the records in 1646, and settled in -Milford, Connecticut.

Next we find him at Stratford, -Connecticut, where he acquired land in -1660 and was chosen “Town Crier” in the -following years, being allowed fourpence “for -everything he should crye and every time he -cryed.” He signed the Articles of Agreement -for the Wallingford Plantation in 1670, and -was granted a “house lott” there in 1671. -He appears fourth in a list of six persons of -“Hiest Rank,” July 29, 1672, and in 1675 -was one of a committee to establish a Church, -dying between the years 1678 and 1680, the -ancestor of a large number of Beaches, scattered -over United States, Canada and South -America. Mahlon Ford Beach, the subject -of this sketch, was born November 10, 1833, -in Oxford Township, Grenville County, Province -of Ontario, where his father, Mahlon -Beach, son of David Beach, arriving from -New Jersey, was one of the first settlers. -His Mother, Mercy May, born in New York -State, May 12, 1798, was a daughter of -Lyman Clothier, who migrated to the vicinity -and built the first mills in what is now known -as the Village of Kemptville. Married -Louise C. Wickmire, of Augusta Township, -Grenville County, in 1865, and leaves a -family of ten boys, all of whom are living, -born as follows: Charles A., of Cornwall, -1866; Fred.

Barber, of Winnipeg, -in 1912, by whom he is survived. Although -controlling probably a quarter of a million -dollars at his death, Mr. Beach started life -like thousands of other poor boys, with only -his native industry, wit and enterprise to raise -him above his restricted circumstances and -give his talents a larger field of activity. He -was a born captain of industry and remarkable -in many ways, exciting a big influence -not only in his community, but throughout -the county. Possessed of a strong personality, -an untiring energy, quick perception and -bold and fearless in his business enterprises, -he left his stamp on the community in which -he lived and his name will always be connected -with the village and township of Winchester. -This place was hardly a settlement -when Mr. Beach first came there, and when -he erected his first mill it was the beginning -of a new life in the community, as previously -the nearest mill was at Iroquois. He was -educated at the common schools of his native -place and set out to carve his own fortune -early in life. He first worked at the millwright -business, and in 1856 went to the -Township of Winchester, Dundas County, -where he built a small saw mill, later adding -other machinery and buildings, such as -planing mills, sash and door, and flour mills. -During the years 1861-1864 he engaged in -square timber operations, taking the timber -to Quebec. In the spring of 1883 he bought -a water privilege on the St. Lawrence Canal, -at Iroquois, and moved there in June of the -same year, where he commenced a roller flour -mill, which was put in operation in the fall of -1884. At Mr. Beach’s place in Winchester, -where the old business is still continued, he -saw grow up what is now a flourishing village. -Between the years 1861-1878 Mr. Beach was -connected directly and indirectly with the -general store business and has always been -successful in his undertakings. In 1884 his -mills at Winchester were destroyed by fire, -and a number of other valuable buildings, -also a quantity of sawn lumber, flour and -wheat to the amount of about $75,000, were -all swept away without any insurance to -cover the loss. This naturally crippled him -financially, but nothing daunted, he commenced -again, rebuilding the mills in a much -better manner than before and adding a furniture -factory to them, thus showing that the -spirit of the man was bigger than any adversity -and that he did not know the meaning -of failure. He met every obstacle with indomitable -faith in himself as the biggest asset -of human enterprise, which, more than any -other, was a characteristic of Mr. Beach. He -had absolute faith in his own judgment and -with great capacity and resource he soon recovered -his losses. He was President of the -Beach Foundry Co., Ltd., of Ottawa, and -also with his son Charles A., established the -Beach Furniture Factory, at Cornwall. In -1909 he completed a water power development -in Iroquois, one of the latest and most -improved hydro-electric power plants in America. -In order to carry out this undertaking, -he was obliged to resort to the European -markets for the electrical apparatus. The -generators came from Sweden, where they -were designed and made especially for the -conditions met with in development. It -might truly be said that this was the pioneer -plant in Canada for the vertical type, direct -connected to wheel, operating under a low -head of water.

The name -of Massey is known throughout the length -and breadth of Canada, not only on account -of the vastness of the business interests associated -with that name, but because of the -great philanthropies with which it is also -synonymous. As the surviving head of the -family that has built up Canada’s greatest -individual industrial enterprise, the figure of -Mr. Chester Daniel Massey, the subject of -this sketch, is doubly fraught with interest. -He is the son of the late Hart A.

Both the brothers who had -also been identified with the growth and -management of the enterprise, Charles A. -Massey and Walter E. H. Massey, have also -passed away. But Mr. Chester D. Massey -is splendidly carrying out the traditions -of the family. He was born on June 17, -1850, in Haldimand Township, in the -County of Northumberland, Ontario, and -received his education at the Public Schools -of the province. While still a boy he -entered the business establishment of his -father, then centred at Newcastle, Ontario. -Literally speaking, he has grown up with the -business, which in turn has grown up with -the country (coincident with the vast expansion -of agricultural enterprise in Canada). -In 1879 the headquarters of the Massey firm -were removed to Toronto, where Mr. Massey -has resided since the year 1882. In 1884 his -eldest brother, Charles A. Massey, died, and -the duties devolving on him became the -heavier. The period that has elapsed since -then has been one of immense expansion, -which the firm attained by a judicious policy -of amalgamation and by extending its agencies -not only from the Atlantic to the Pacific, -but beyond the seven seas in all the corners -of the earth. As has been intimated, commercial -interests do not by any means -absorb the entire attention of Mr. Massey. -He is largely interested in all religious and -philanthropic movements. He is a member -of the Methodist Church, to which he is -greatly attached, and his voice is at all times -valued in its councils. He is a Governor of -the University of Toronto; a Regent of -Victoria University, and a Trustee of the -Metropolitan Church and the Methodist -Deaconess Home and Training School, all -of Toronto. He is also a Trustee of Massey -Music Hall, one of the finest buildings -that unselfish citizenship ever gave to a -community. As chief executor of his father’s -estate, he necessarily takes a deep interest -in the valuable works of philanthropy which -have been carried out under the provisions -of the will. On March 17, 1886, Mr. Massey -was married at Erie, Pa., to Miss Anna D. -Vincent (deceased, London, England, November -11, 1903), and secondly to Miss -Margaret Phelps, of Gloversville, N.Y., -Jan. 3, 1907; has two sons by first wife, -Charles Vincent and Raymond Hart Massey.</p> - -<hr class='tbk173'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='smit3'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Smith, William</span>, M.P.</span>, for South Ontario -(Columbus, Ont.), was born in the Township -of East Whitby, November 16, 1847, is the -son of William Smith and Elizabeth Laing, -his wife, natives of Morayshire, Scotland. -He was educated at the public school, Columbus, -and Upper Canada College, Toronto. -He was Paymaster of the 34th Battalion for -a number of years.

Mr. -Mackintosh has led an unusually active life, -succeeding in making his way, unaided, to -positions of honor and influence. He was -educated at the Galt Grammar School (Tassie’s), -and Caradoc Academy (Middlesex Co.), -two well-known institutions at that time. -When the Prince of Wales (afterwards King -Edward VII) visited Canada in 1860, an ode -of welcome from the pen of Mr. Mackintosh, -then a youth of seventeen, was presented to -His Royal Highness. Two years later, under -the title of “Fat Contributor,” he wrote for -the London “Free Press,” a series of articles, -characteristically entitled “Hurry-Graphs.” -These attracted wide attention, and the entrance -of the young writer into journalism -was a foregone conclusion. He relinquished -the study of law, and became, first, reporter, -and soon afterwards city editor of the “Free -Press.” Believing that the early history of -pioneer life in Upper Canada should be heard -from the lips of those who had passed through -the ordeal, Mr. Mackintosh organized a Committee, -the result being a Pioneer Banquet, -at which 400 old settlers from local and distant -points were in attendance. Col. J. B. -Askin, one of the early pioneers acted as -chairman, Mr. Mackintosh, as the youngest -Canadian, acting as Secretary. Subsequent -to this, he assisted in promoting the Western -Fair, which to-day has expanded to noticeable -proportions. His journalistic career was -marked by rapid progress. In 1864 he was -city editor of the Hamilton “Times.” A year -later he founded the “Dispatch,” of Strathroy, -which he conducted until 1873. In 1868 he -married Gertrude Cooke, daughter of T. -Cooke, J.P., of Strathroy. In 1871 he founded -the Parkhill “Gazette,” which he controlled -for some time, while still managing the “Dispatch.” -In the same year, he unsuccessfully -contested North Middlesex as Conservative -candidate for the local legislature. In 1871 -he visited Chicago during the fire, and wrote -a description of the terrible event; 60,000 -copies being sold in two weeks. He was also -elected a member of the town council of -Strathroy, in which capacity he exhibited -talents, which afterwards showed to better -advantage in a wider sphere. Believing in -himself, as all men do who come to the front -in human affairs, he proceeded to prepare for -a higher sphere in public life which he was -destined to fill. Deciding that the protection -system which had long been established -in the United States, deserved consideration -in Canada, he accepted the position of managing -editor of the Chicago “Journal of Commerce.” -While resident in the western metropolis, -he studied carefully the protection system, -as well as other issues in the United -States. He also wrote a graphic account of -the United States’ “panic of 1873.” Returning -to Canada, at the request of Sir John A. -Macdonald the day after his government was -defeated in 1873, he declined an editorial position -on the “Mail”; sold out his interest in the -Strathroy “Dispatch,” and went to Ottawa, -being appointed editor of the Ottawa “Citizen,” -the Conservative journal of the capital. -He at once attracted attention, not only because -of the vigorous management and writing of -the “Citizen,” but because of knowledge of -public questions. At the celebration of the -O’Connell Centennial, he wrote a poem -which won the gold and silver medal over -many others submitted. He was an ardent -protectionist long before the Conservative -party accepted that system as a plank in -their platform, and must be counted as one -of the leaders in that economic movement. -In 1877, the late John Riordon, of St. Catharines, -urged Mr. Mackintosh to co-operate -with him in reorganizing the “Mail,” but the -offer was again declined. His active interest -in public affairs, combined with an unusual -share of those qualities which make men -popular with their fellows, caused him to be -nominated for the Mayoralty of Ottawa in -1879, the result of the election being his return -by a large majority. He promoted the -first Dominion Exhibition, which was opened -by the then Governor-General, Lord Lorne—afterwards -Duke of Argyle. In the two -succeeding years he was re-elected, and -though unseated on a technicality after the -third contest, was a fourth time favored with -the support of the people. As Mayor of the -Capital of Canada, he inaugurated many reforms, -which proved of great benefit to the -city. When retiring from the Mayoralty, -the city presented him with an address; also, -citizens generally passed resolutions and presented -an illuminated address. In the General -Election of 1882 he was one of the Conservative -candidates in Ottawa for the House -of Commons, and was elected senior member -by a sweeping majority. During his term in -Parliament, he made several speeches which -were notable for keen common sense. He -spoke but seldom; when he did he always -secured an attentive hearing. He became -President of the Ottawa and Gatineau Valley -Railroad, now a part of the Canadian Pacific, -and was also a Director of the Canada Atlantic -Railroad, now a part of the Grand -Trunk System. Mr. Mackintosh resigned -his seat for Ottawa in July, 1886, but at the -request of friends agreed to hold it until the -dissolution, which he did. The Capital of -Canada is no bed of roses for any active or -generous man, and thus the senior member -found it, hence his positive objection to being -again a candidate at that time. In the General -Election of 1887, Mr. Mackintosh, by -the unanimous wish of the Conservative -party, contested Russell against Mr. W. C. -Edwards, the largest lumber manufacturer, -and most popular Liberal in the County, and -was defeated by a narrow majority, owing -mainly to the feeling against the Government -among the French-Canadians, aroused by the -execution of Riel. He polled 2,146 votes, or -between 400 and 500 more than were ever -given to a Conservative candidate in that -county. The Home Rule and Riel cries concentrated -at least 1,600 votes solidly against -any Conservative nominee, the Constituency -being largely Catholic. It should be said, -however, that Mr. Mackintosh was an ardent -advocate of and believer in Ireland’s right to -control her own local affairs. But he had -voted in favor of Orange incorporation, publicly -declaring that such would, in the end, -ameliorate the bitterness between Protestants -and Catholics. Mr. Edwards upon a protest -was unseated for Russell, and a score of his -supporters reported for corruption. The -Conservative party let the matter drop; another -election took place with the same result, -Mr. Edwards (now Senator) being returned. -In 1888 Mr. Mackintosh declined to accept -nomination for the Mayoralty, and also to be -a candidate for the County of Carleton. In -1890, upon the death of the sitting member, -Mr. Perley, a requisition was presented, -signed by prominent Liberals and Conservatives, -asking Mr. Mackintosh to be a candidate. -There were four candidates in the -field, but he was elected by over 1,000 majority, -and was again returned at the General -Election of 1891. During this time he became -interested in the “Lake Manitoba Railway -and Canal Company,” which subsequently -was merged with the Canadian -Northern Transcontinental Line. His leader, -Sir John A. Macdonald, died in June, 1891, -and until Sir John Thompson became -Premier, Mr. Mackintosh took little interest -in political affairs, disposing of his newspaper -the Ottawa “Citizen.” In October, 1893, he -was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the -Canadian North-West Territories, then including -the Yukon. Before leaving Ottawa he -was presented with a testimonial and address -by the workingmen of Ottawa, the Conservative -Association, and a dinner tendered by -the members of the Rideau Club, at which -Judges of the Supreme Court, Sir John -Thompson and other Ministers were present. -During his term, he organized a Dominion -Territorial Exhibition in 1895, spoken of as -inaugurating a very beneficial settlement in -the North-West. Prize competition entries -reached nearly 8,000 in the various departments. -It was opened by Lord Aberdeen, -then Governor-General. On this occasion -the city of Regina presented him with an oil -painting of himself and a complimentary -address. In January, 1898, Mr. Mackintosh -resigned his high position, going to British -Columbia, successfully organizing the British -America Mining Corporation, of which he -was Managing Director, until he resigned, -about 1900. In 1902, when King George V -(then Duke of York) visited Canada, Mr. -Mackintosh, upon behalf of the Miners of -British Columbia, presented him with unique -gold specimens extracted from the western -mines. Mr. Mackintosh remained in the -western province for several years, engaging -in literary work. In 1908 he was awarded -the 1st prize for an essay on “British Columbia—Its -Resources.” He was for some time -in Toronto, where (in 1910) he wrote a series -of articles for the “Mail and Empire,” forecasting -Germany as the storm centre of a coming -war. In 1911, when the Reciprocity issue -was before the electors, he wrote a series of -articles against the proposition, visiting nearly -every constituency in Ontario, publishing a -signed telegram in the “Montreal Star,” the -day before the election, forecasting the defeat -of the Laurier Government and allowing -them not more than fourteen seats in Ontario. -When his party returned to power, he accepted -a position as Inspector of Customs, -and has also written many articles on the -European War, which broke out in August, -1914. In May, 1917, a pamphlet written -by Mr. Mackintosh, dealing with the Home -Rule issue and entitled “Are Ireland’s -Problems on the Eve of Solution?” attracted -much attention, being quoted from at the -Irish Conference by several delegates. Mr. -Mackintosh spends much of his time in -British Columbia where he is Chairman of -the Halcyon Springs Company, and is -greatly interested in the development of that -province’s mining resources.</p> - -<hr class='tbk179'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='meek'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Meek, Edward</span></span> (Toronto, Ont.), Barrister, -was born in the village of Port Stanley, -Ontario, on December 27, 1844. His -father, James Meek, came to Canada at the -early age of three years with his parents, in -1818, from Ballymena, North of Ireland. -They settled in the same year in Talbot District, -and took up a tract of land near Port -Stanley, being among the earliest pioneers -of that part of the country. At the time -of Edward’s birth his father was a carpenter -and builder, but afterwards became a partner -in a foundry which was carried on successfully -for a number of years; but a disastrous -fire destroyed the whole of the extensive -establishment, and he returned to his farm, -on which he remained till his death. Edward -received his early education at the Port -Stanley school, and afterwards at the -Grammar School, St. Thomas. After leaving -school, at the age of seventeen, he was -granted a certificate to teach, which occupation -he followed for three years. He -then accepted a position as bookkeeper -in a grain warehouse, at which he continued -for a short time only; but thinking a -short journey among strangers would improve -his prospects, he went to Boston and -engaged with a publishing house of a prominent -firm there. After a short sojourn he -returned to London, Ontario, and there commenced -the study of law. In 1873 he removed -to Toronto, where he continued his -studies and finished his law course in the -office of Harrison, Osler and Moss, three gentlemen -who afterwards became distinguished -judges. He was called to the Bar of Ontario -in the spring of 1874, and he then formed a -partnership with the Hon. John O’Donohoe, -which continued for four years, when it was -dissolved. He then opened an office of his -own until he formed a partnership with -the late William Norris, of Woodstock, which -lasted till Mr. Norris returned to Woodstock. -In 1877 he commenced to take an active -part in the politics of the country, and -especially in the promotion of the National -Policy; in fact, he was one of the originators -of the word, and travelled over Ontario -assisting in the formation of political organizations -to enable the National Policy -party to carry their new platform to a -successful issue. He continued from that -time to take an active part as one of the -political writers and speakers on the platform -until the winter of 1884, when he -and a number of other politicians conceived -the idea of forming a coalition government -for the Province of Ontario, their object being -to do away with partyism in the local legislature. -Others were brought into the scheme -who were impatient of the slow method of -bringing about the change by argument, and -thought that a sufficient number of the members -of the Legislature could be secured by -offers and promises to at once defeat the -Mowat Government, when the coalition could -be immediately formed during the spring session -of 1884. The plans were disapproved -of by the originators of the idea, but the hot -heads could not be kept under control, and -the public know the result of the unfortunate -conspiracy case which sprung from it, involving -those more actively concerned in the long -and tedious investigation and prosecution -before a Royal Commission and in the criminal -courts. The Royal Commission brought -in a divided report, which the House never -acted upon. The verdict of the jury in the -criminal court, in the trial of May, 1885, -acquitted the accused. Since that time Mr. -Meek has devoted himself strictly to the -practice of his profession in Toronto, and the -promotion and formation of joint stock and -other companies. Mr. Meek was joined in -marriage, on June 30, 1873, to Anna -Margaret McBride, daughter of Samuel McBride, -of London, Ontario, by which union -they have issue two sons and one daughter. -Mr. Meek and family are members of the -Church of England. Since the publication -of the preceding matter in the second edition -of “Representative Canadians,” about thirty -years ago, Mr. Meek has continued to practise -law in all its branches in the city of -Toronto, and is considered a well-read lawyer, -a sound legal adviser, and a successful practitioner. -While carrying on his legal practice, -during the past twenty-five years, he -has written many thousands of “Legal -Opinions,” published weekly in the Saturday -edition of the “Mail & Empire” newspaper. -These concise and clearly expressed statements -of the law have been widely read, and -highly appreciated by many thousands of -readers of that journal, and have been copied -in other newspapers. Mr. Meek has also -written and published pamphlets; and -essays on Legal and Constitutional questions -in reviews and magazines which have been -favorably criticized and commented upon—notably -two essays comparing our Canadian -System of Federalism with the American -System of Federalism, entitled, “Some -Observations on the Constitution of the -Dominion of Canada,” published in the -American Law Review of 1895, 1896; -“The Legal and Constitutional Aspects -of the Manitoba School Questions,” published -in the “Canadian Magazine” and in -pamphlet form in 1895; “Political Lessons -from the Time of Cicero,” “Representative -Government and Federalism,” the “Plebiscite”—an -answer to an Essay published by -the late Sir Geo. W. Ross—and other Essays, -all to be found in the “Canadian Magazine” -between 1898 and 1904; “Sunday Laws,” -published in the “Canadian Law Review” in -1904; “The Mistakes made by the Framers -of the Constitution of the United States of -America,” and “Government and Political -and Municipal Corporations,” etc., published -later. In 1913 Mr. Meek published a book -of 600 pages, entitled, “Business and Law,” -which has had a wide circulation. Mr. Meek -was created a Q.C. in 1896, but for political -reasons the patent was never issued. He -was, however, made a K.C. by the Ontario -Government in 1908. He has recently published -a few short poems which have been -much admired. Now 72, he is in robust -health, and his writings are as clear and concise, -and his forensic abilities as convincing -as 30 years ago, with the added copiousness -and accuracy acquired by long years of experience. -His eldest son, Mr. Charles S. -Meek, is managing director of the British -Pacific Engineering & Construction Company, -of Vancouver, where he resides with -his family, consisting of a wife and two -daughters. His second son, Mr. E. J. Meek, -is the chief accountant of the Canadian Bank -of Commerce, and resides in Toronto with -wife and two children—a son and daughter. -Mr. Meek lives at 177 Jamieson Ave., with -his wife and unmarried daughter, Miss -Gertrude Meek.</p> - -<hr class='tbk180'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='harr'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Harris, Reginald V.</span></span> (Halifax, N.S.), Barrister-at-Law, son -of Rev.

Formerly President Mathematical -and Physics Society and University -College Literary and Scientific Society. -Few men in Canada have exhibited more -scholarly attainments than the subject of -this sketch, whose versatility in Science, -Literature, as well as original research has -been remarkable, and of great benefit. -Notwithstanding the high place which Mr. -Clark occupies in the field of letters and the -wide knowledge he has of science and literature, -he is widely known on account of -his great abilities as a lawyer which have -placed him in the front rank of the legal -profession in Canada. Many of his cases -have been of first-class importance and some -of them of great public interest. Among -the first in which he won a signal victory was -that of Dorland and Jones, the famous -Quaker Case from Prince Edward County, -Ontario. The recent decision of the House -of Lords, giving the “Wee Frees” the property -of the Free Church of Scotland recalls -the Quaker Case here. Mr. Clark argued -before the Supreme Court at Ottawa that -the Church had the right to make changes in -its Constitution, even though that Constitution -itself did not specifically authorize -it to do so. The view was adopted by -the United Free Church lawyers in Edinburgh -in the case arising from the union -of the Free and United Presbyterian Churches -of Scotland, and the Court of Session, the -High Court of Justice sustained that view. -The “Wee Free” (as the Free Church minority -was commonly called), appealed to the House -of Lords, and contrary to all expectation, -won, and obtained possession of the vast -property of the Church. The situation was -so tense that a special Act of Parliament was -passed to adjust conditions. In quite a -number of constitutional cases reaching -through the Canadian Courts to the Privy -Council, Mr. Clark has figured, and invariably -with success. The same is true regarding -commercial cases and large mining -cases in which a long and extended experience -has given him such a mastery as few -of his compeers possess. Quite recently -the “Ophir” mining case, which he brought -to a successful conclusion, through a tedious -and tortuous course of litigation, ending -in the Privy Council, has excited the attention -of the legal profession and of the public, -both because it decided the question of the -Indian title so far as Ontario is concerned, -and because a similar situation is becoming -acute in British Columbia. Mr. Clark has -made several notable speeches in England -where he is regarded as an accomplished -jurist, and few men are so well versed in the -political and constitutional history of this -Dominion or more fully seized of its great -resources. The London “Times” and several -other prominent English papers a few years -ago referred in high praise to Mr. Clark’s -speech on “Canada and the Navy” delivered -before a notable gathering, including Lord -Strathcona the late High Commissioner for -Canada. Mr. Clark is one of the foremost -mathematical authorities in Canada and his -work has been commended by so high an -authority as Lord Kelvin, while he is regarded -both in this country and in England -as an authority on Constitutional law. He -has won distinction as an author, and has -written several standard works and papers, -among which may be mentioned “Law of -Mines in Canada,” which was written in -collaboration with the Hon. W. D. McPherson, -Provincial Secretary of Ontario. -“Company Law,” “The Ontario Mining -Law,” “International Arbitration,” “Canada’s -Future and the Empire,” “History -of the Theory of Energy,” and “The Functions -of a great University.” Has lectured -on the “Value of the Judicial Committee of -the Privy Council,” “Canada and the -Navy,” etc. The work on Mining Law -referred to is recognized as an authority on -the subject dealt with, and has been highly -praised by the Harvard Law Review of the -Law Magazine of England as well as by the -Canadian Press. The “Mining Journal” stated -that “the book had the impress of clear and -legal learning,” and the work has also been -described as a monument of research, care -and industry. Recently Mr. Clark has -been elected President of the Royal Canadian -Institute, founded by Sir John Lefroy (whose -grandson, Lieut. Lefroy, gallantly fell on -Vimy Ridge). In referring to the new -President’s appointment “The Mail and -Empire” said: “Mr. Clark well represents -the best that we have in character, intellect, -scholarship and public spirit. A distinguished -graduate of Toronto University, the new -President, far from leaving the avenues of -learning, as some do when they graduate, -has ever increased his stores, and has successfully -striven not only to broaden and deepen -his knowledge, but to devote it to the service -of his fellow-men, as witness Mr. Clark’s -strong and convincing advocacy of the Canadian -Government availing itself of the great -scientific attainments and progressive scholarship -of men like Professors Macallum and -McLennan. For many years one of the -foremost advocates in Canada of that great -constitutional change in Imperial relations -which is to-day being forged on the anvil of -war, Mr. Clark has been a powerful and -sagacious leader in that movement on this -side of the water. In the prosecution of -that enterprise he has deservedly won the -regard and friendship of some of the leading -scholars and statesmen of our Empire.” The -“Globe,” in the course of a favorable review, -said that his Presidential Address on “The -Reign of Law,” “will appeal to thoughtful -readers as a scholarly contribution to a subject -which derives fresh interest from the -war.” Mr. Clark has given considerable study -to the question of our gold supply which has -proved a potent factor in the financing of -the great war, and will be even a more important -factor in the reconstruction period after -the war according to the viewpoint of Mr. -Clark, who takes the position that the -increase in the production of gold be encouraged -in every practical way. Politically, -Mr. Clark has always been a member of the -Liberal Party, and was formerly President -of the Young Men’s Liberal Club of Toronto, -but, in the Federal general elections of 1917 -he supported the Union Government. He -favors Canada remaining an integral portion -of the British Empire, the utmost practicable -extension of the principle of free trade, and -the development of a vigorous Canadian -National Sentiment.

Following in his -father’s footsteps, who owned and successfully -ran a popular hotel in Orangeville, at -an early age he became, and for years remained, -cashier of the well known hostelry—the -Walker House, Toronto. His experiences -in that popular public resort and his -popularity prompted aspirations and ambitions -which caused him to launch out in -enterprises of his own, and he soon became -proprietor of several of the best -hotels in the principal cities and summer -resorts in Canada. In 1902 he was one of -the owners of the New Royal in Hamilton -where business success and increased patronage -prompted the owners to remodel it in -1907. He took management of the Penetanguishene -Hotel at Penetang and made it -one of the attractive features of the place. -He reached out and got management of -the Sans Souci at Moon River, the Belvidere -in Parry Sound, the Iroquois Hotel in Toronto, -the Victoria Hotel at Aylmer, Quebec, -the Grand Union, Ottawa, and, with the -late Daniel O’Connor, built the Temagami -Inn at Temagami, Ontario. In each and -all these ventures success and popularity -followed in his train and created for him -unstinted fame as an enterprising, progressive -and popular hotel proprietor and -manager. And while so actively engaged in -the hotel business Mr. Paisley, being an -enthusiastic lover of the horse, found time -to give to that noble animal the most assiduous -care and attention, and much of -his time for years was devoted to the purchase, -the raising, and the training of some -of the finest saddle, harness and trotting -steeds to be found in any part of Canada. -They established, for their owner, on many -a race track and at many a horse show -enviable records. His Sealskin Joe was one -of those that won distinction on the Winnipeg -racecourse many years ago. Later his saddle -horse, Jardie, was accorded the admiration of -all. Shortly after his arrival in Ottawa, where -he first established himself as proprietor of -the Grand Union Hotel, he became interested -in such affairs—public, charitable, -patriotic and social—as had for their goal -the prosperity of the city and the happiness -and betterment of its people, and his many -years activity in these lines are well marked -in the memory of thousands. Mr. Paisley, -never allowing his enthusiasm for the -horse to die, took a keen interest in, -and became one of the original members of, -the Ottawa Hunt Club; was Treasurer of the -Horse Show while it exhibited here; became -Chairman of the Construction Committee -that built the Connaught Park Jockey Club -Track, and is now a director and one -of the Management Committee of the -Connaught Park Jockey Club. For years -Mr. Paisley has been a Director of -the Central Canada Exhibition Association, -and held the office of Vice-President, -and for a considerable time was Chairman -of the Special Attraction Committee. In -1915, owing to the resignation of Mr. -Edward McMahon, who had held the position -of Manager and Secretary of the Central -Canada Exhibition Association for over -twenty years, and to replace whose efficient -management the Association had to select -a competent and reliable successor, Mr. -James K. Paisley was chosen, with the -result that up to date the fair has been an -increased success financially and in attendance. -In his management of the Exhibition’s -affairs he carries with him a geniality -and a business acumen that attracts, establishes -confidence, and produces good results. -When the Great War broke out, Mr. Paisley’s -son, familiarly known as “Pep” Paisley, who -had graduated from McGill as an architect, -enlisted with A. Battery, R.C.H.A., as a -gunner and was soon, owing to meritorious -conduct at the front, promoted to a Lieutenancy. -His valor and good work at the -firing line received much praise from his superior -officers. Mr. James K. Paisley is the son of -John Paisley and Mrs. M. J. Kenniston of -Orangeville, Ontario. He was born in 1858 and -was educated in Orangeville High School -and Rockwood Academy.

In 1872, in conjunction -with Messrs. Wood & Winterbourne, -of Albany, N.Y., he founded the Ontario -Malleable Iron Co., of which Mr. D. S.

In 1893 he established -Fittings, Ltd., of Oshawa, of which he was also -President at the time of his death. Altogether -his interests furnished steady employment to -about 1,000 citizens of the town, of which he -was recognized as the industrial leader. Mr. -Cowan’s financial interests were even more -widely extended. In 1875 he became Vice-President -of the newly formed Standard Bank -of Canada, and in 1883, on the death of the -President, the well-known capitalist, Hon. T. -N.

Mr. Askwith -was appointed Deputy Magistrate in 1907, -and since 1916 up to the time when he received -his promotion in March, 1918, had to -administer the law alone as during the intervening -time Magistrate O’Keefe was too ill -to attend Court, and no Deputy was appointed. -In addition, as Deputy Magistrate, -Mr. Askwith presided over the Juvenile Court, -and is doing so even now, and it is owing -to his sound judgment and fatherly consideration -for erring youngsters that a vast improvement -has taken place in the conduct of -the Juveniles in the city. In the Police Court -as well as in the Juvenile Court he has been -stern and wise in his decisions. He metes -out law and justice with common sense and -discretion and never allows technicalities or -quibbles to interfere with his disposal of cases, -and he holds the explicit confidence of the -public. Magistrate John E. Askwith was -born of English parents, in 1841, and was -educated in the Little Red School House in -Ottawa. On September 26, 1865, he married -Annie, daughter of the late John Fotheringham, -and has two sons, William R. and -John F., who is a Lieutenant in service in -France; he is 36 years old and in 1915 enlisted -with a company from McGill University -to reinforce the Princess Pats, but was -transferred to a Western Battalion.

Mr. Nickle -takes an active interest in all amateur sports. -He is trustee of Queen’s University, Governor -of Kingston Hospital; elected to the -Kingston School Board in 1895, City Council -in 1896, and again in 1897, for three years. -He was member of the Legislative Assembly -of Ontario for Kingston from 1908 to 1911, -when he resigned seat to contest same constituency -at the general election for the -House of Commons, and was elected as -the Liberal-Conservative candidate, and -re-elected at the general elections in -December, 1917. He is a Presbyterian in -religion. The member for Kingston has -played a very active part in the city of -his birth and has been prominently identified -with the municipal, educational and social -life, and has carved a secure place in the confidence -and respect of his fellow-citizens. -He has greatly distinguished himself in public -life, for which he has displayed much -talent, and his sterling integrity is recognized -by his fellow-members in the House of -Commons. Mr. Nickle is a forceful speaker, -with a convincing style and a pleasing and -magnetic personality. His career in the -House of Commons has been marked by a -spirit of independence and adherence to -conviction. In 1913 he took issue with the -Government on the granting of certain -additional aid to the Canadian Northern -Railway; and maintained that if the people -had to build the railroads they should own -and operate them. His position at that time -has since been justified overwhelmingly by -public sentiment and the general course of -events. In April of 1918 Mr. Nickle once -more achieved great prominence as the -effective voice of the Canadian people in -connection with the titles controversy. -He introduced a motion in the House of -Commons requesting that representations be -made to the Imperial Government that -hereafter no hereditary titles should be -granted in Canada. In a speech replete with -convincing historical detail on the obsolete -nature of hereditary honors he also stated -his conviction that it would be better if no -further titular distinctions of any kind were -granted, except those of an officiary character. -He felt, however, that public sentiment -on the question was not sufficiently ripe to -permit him to jeopardize his resolution on -the subject of hereditary honors, by making -it as wide as his personal views would indicate. -Subsequently Mr. R. L. Richardson, M.P. -for Richmond, Manitoba, moved a resolution -demanding that no titular honors of any -kind be granted thereafter. This was defeated -on the Prime Minister declaring it -to be a want-of-confidence motion. On this -motion Mr. Nickle was placed in the peculiar -position of having to abandon the Government -or his personal convictions, but decided -to stick by conviction. Another -broad principle that was discussed as a result -of Mr. Nickle’s original motion was whether -the Government of Canada should not be -consulted before titular distinctions were -conferred by the Crown on Canadians resident -in this country. The Prime Minister, -Sir Robert Borden, announced that he had -accepted this principle, except in connection -with military honors, so that Mr. Nickle may -be regarded as having materially aided in -checking an abuse which was becoming a -cause of public unrest, by precipitating discussion -of the matter.</p> - -<hr class='tbk284'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='tory'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Tory, John A.</span></span> (Toronto), one of the leading -life insurance men of Canada, was born at -Guysboro’, N.S., November 17, 1869, the -son of Robert K. and Anora (Ferguson) -Tory.

It was only natural -that our subject should at his birth be christened -after the renowned Liberal Leader, who -in 1877 was already in the political limelight. -Four generations of Gariepys were born and -lived on the same homestead at St. Lin, -three miles from the parochial church.

Needless to say, streets were unpaved -and there were not even any sidewalks. -Still the town had a Mock Parliament, and -we find our subject a member of it, with a -portfolio in its government. Mr. W. Gariepy -was elected one of the secretaries of the -Liberal Club and also became, in 1894, at its -foundation, secretary to the Société de St. -Jean Baptiste of Edmonton.

In December, 1906, he -was elected an alderman of the city of Edmonton, -and although running for the first time -in the city at large, as there are no wards, he -came second on the list, the first one beating -him only by one vote. Two years later Mr. -W. Gariepy was re-elected, this time at -the head of the list, having some 300 more -votes than the next man. While an alderman -he held the chairmanship of several important -committees and was delegated on -two occasions: first, to Chicago with ex-Mayor -J. A.

It was -during Mr. Gariepy’s term of office that the -Edmonton automatic telephone system was -installed; that the street railway system was -completed and put in operation; and that -the C.P.R high-level bridge was completed -and opened for traffic; and that negotiations -for the amalgamation of Edmonton and -Strathcona were begun. In 1910 Mr. -Gariepy was chairman of the civic committee -that organized such a splendid reception as -was tendered to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then -Prime Minister, on the occasion of his visit -to the Capital of Alberta, and it was at that -time that Mr. Gariepy secured the adoption -of a resolution by the city council giving to -a park the name of “Laurier Park.” Mr. -Gariepy took a leading part in the federal -campaigns of 1904, 1908 and 1911. In 1909 -he was the unsuccessful Liberal candidate in -the provincial constituency of St. Albert, his -successful opponent being also a Liberal, as -there was no Conservative candidate running. -In 1911 he was elected Grand Knight -of the Edmonton Council of the Knights of -Columbus; in 1907 he was elected president -of the Edmonton Société de St. Jean Baptiste; -in 1912 he was elected vice-president of the -French-Canadian Alberta Convention, held -in Edmonton, and by that convention was -elected as the only delegate to represent it -at the French-Canadian Congress held that -year in the city of Quebec; in 1913 he was -elected president of the Society du Parler-Français -of Alberta, and as such presided -over the French-Canadian congress of Alberta, -held at Edmonton in 1914.

His grand-uncle -was Robert Montgomery, who was for many -years a mill-owner and manufacturer in -Johnstone. From school he entered the -Glasgow E. C. Training College, after taking -a Queen’s Scholarship, and graduated as a -teacher from it with the highest certificate -of his year granted by the Lords of the Council -of Education, London, and with special -certificates from the Science and Art Department, -Kensington. After coming to -Canada he became a graduate of Queen’s -University, Kingston, and thereafter received -the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, from the -Illinois University, after completing the three -years’ post-graduate course in the section of -metaphysical science. In 1881 he was unanimously -elected a Fellow of the Educational -Institute of Scotland, an honor seldom conferred -on teachers laboring outside of Great -Britain. For a time he acted as principal of -the Model Schools of Nova Scotia, and afterwards -as principal of the Victoria High School -of St. John, New Brunswick. While there -he was asked by the Premier of Prince Edward -Island to become Superintendent of -Education in that province, which he declined -to accept. But when the Victoria School -buildings were destroyed in the great fire of -St. John, he was induced to accept the -principalship of the Provincial Normal School -in Charlottetown and the Supervisorship of -the City Schools, while St. John and its -school buildings were being rebuilt. At the -end of three years spent in inaugurating the -new system of schools in Prince Edward -Island, he was invited, in face of his inclination -to return to his former position in New -Brunswick, to take charge of the Quebec -High School as its Rector; and, accepting -the appointment, he thus became identified -with the educational interests of the Province -of Quebec, where he has labored ever -since, closing his career as an educationist in -active service as Inspector of the Protestant -Superior Schools of that province. While -holding that office he entered upon his vocation -as an author, having been for many -years editor-in-chief of the “Educational -Record,” a contributor to the “Educational -Monthly” of Ontario, the “Queen’s Quarterly,” -and other periodicals, besides being associated -with Dr. Thomas Morison, of -Glasgow, one of the most distinguished -of the educationists of Scotland, in the -compilation of sundry text-books. His -earlier essays and addresses on “The New -Education,” and “Cause and Effect in -School Work,” led to his issue of “A Manual -on Moral Drill,” in line with his pleadings -for an educative “Mental and Physical -Drill” in the schools of the day. His plan -for a definite moral training is thus -spoken of by a New York educationist and -author of high standing: “Dr. Harper’s -work is entirely original. It is sound. It is -eminently practical and it should be most -heartily adopted by all who have the training -of the young in hand, and who earnestly -desire that the rising generation may develop -into a ‘coming race,’ in whom moral rectitude -will be natural and spontaneous.” As -an author, Dr. Harper has had a career as -full of the best kind of literary work, as has -been his career as an educationist in advice -with his co-workers in school progress -throughout Canada. The list of the books -he has written is all but incredibly large. -His <span class='it'>chef-d’ouvre</span> is unquestionably his drama -of “Champlain,” which has given him rank, -as one critic says, as the greatest of our Canadian -dramatic poets since the days of -Heavysege. The late George Murray, of -Montreal, a writer of just discrimination, -claimed that Dr. Harper is one of the most -versatile and prolific of Canadian litterateurs. -A partial list of his literary output from year -to year includes the following: “The Development -of the Greek Drama,” “The Chronicles -of Kartdale,” “Sacrament Sunday and -the Bells of Kartdale,” “The Earliest Beginnings -of Canada,” “The Montgomery -Siege,” “The Little Sergeant,” “The Seer of -Silver Lake,” “<span class='it'>Domini Domus</span>, or the Chateau -St. Louis,” “The Songs of the Commonwealth,” -and “A Guide to Good Will in the -Empire.” Three uniformly bound volumes -of his series of “Studies in Verse and Prose,” -have so far appeared, including “The Battle -of the Plains,” and “The Annals of the War,” -supplementary to his “Champlain, a Drama.” -With the influence of his earlier years clinging -to him, he has not failed to produce many -pieces that depict the scenes of the land of -his birth; and his poetic status as a versifier -in the Doric of the Scottish Lowlands has -been duly recognized by Dr. John D. Ross -in his volume on “The Scottish Poets in -America,” as well as by the gifted author of -the book entitled “The Scot in America.” -Dr. Ross pays a high tribute to the author -of “Sacrament Sunday,” “Saint Andrew’s -Day,” “The Old Graveyard,” “Auld Jeames -and His Crack,” “Horace in the Doric,” -and others of Dr. Harper’s Scottish odes, in -such words as these: “Sweet as the note of a -bird in the wildwood, strongly embued with -patriotism, fervent in religious sentiment, -eloquent in thought, pure in expression, and -noble in purpose, form a few of the characteristics -of Dr. Harper, the Canadian educationist -and author.” In addition to all this, -Dr. Harper is a loyal Canadian. In all his -public utterances and in the pleadings of his -prolific authorship in book or magazine or -newspaper, he is a Canadian citizen who -upholds as a British subject the ample patriotism -of the British Empire. He has been -twice married, his first wife’s maiden name -having been Miss Agnes Kirkwood, daughter -of William Kirkwood of Stanley Muir, near -Paisley, and his second, Miss Elizabeth -Hastings, daughter of Andrew Hastings, of -St. John and step-daughter of William -Nossack, a former Mayor of Quebec.

From -school and after some preliminary training in -municipal work, he passed into the “Chronicle” -office, when Mr. John J. Foote was manager -and proprietor of the paper, and there -worked his way up through the various departments -of journalism, until he finally -became the managing director of the establishment. -He has held the office of President -of the Quebec Press Association, and -visited London for a first time as a delegate -to the Imperial Press Congress, held in that -city in 1908, and a third time as commander -of the 8th Royal Rifles during the royal celebration -of 1901. In the military life of -Quebec he has been interested for over -twenty years, and during that time was given -promotion step by step until he was in command -of his battalion as its Colonel, a position -which he had held for two or three years -before the European War broke out. Having -been selected to take charge of the 2nd -Battalion in the 1st Brigade of the 1st Canadian -Division, in August, 1914, he proceeded -from the Valcartier Camp with troops -in charge, for their further training at Salisbury -Plains; and, after spending the early -winter months there, he proceeded to the -front in January, 1915. He was by this time -a Colonel in full rank. At the seat of war he -was continuously engaged as a commanding -officer all during the campaigning up to the -summer of 1917, having taken part with his -Division in the operations of Neuve Chapelle, -in March, 1915, as well as in the second battle -of Ypres in April, in the fight at Festubert -in May, and that of Givenchy in June. In -recognition of his skill and prudence in these -engagements he was promoted to command -the 5th Brigade of the 2nd Canadian Division -in the month of August following, and forthwith -as a Brigadier-General, he led his -Brigade in the successive engagements -of Wytschaete, Kemmel, and St. Eloi, during -the spring of 1916. Subsequently he was -placed in charge of the 4th Canadian Division -and made extended raids in the Ypres -salient and at St. Eloi, and thereafter, -for forty-nine days without intermission, -he and his Brigade shared in the exciting -engagements along the River Somme. -No less than three attacks were made by -General Watson and his Division, one on the -11th of October, another on the 22nd of that -month, and one on the 18th of November, -1916, all of these accumulating renown by -their intrepid approach on the enemy. Nor -was the commander’s bravery overlooked by -the War Office, since General Watson has -come in for special mention in the despatches -exchanged between the general Field Staff and -the War Department no less than four times. -He was awarded the high honor of Commander -of the Bath, and in 1918 was further -honored by a Knighthood in that order. -The record of the General’s active service -at the front is a fitting complement to -a career of over twenty years’ experience in -military operations, from the days of his -entering the 8th Royal Rifles, made up of his -Quebec fellow-citizens, to the time of his -being a General in full command of the battlefields -of Europe.

He was -educated at the public school of his district -and later at Strathroy Collegiate Institute. -Going to British Columbia in 1893 when -but eighteen years of age he first engaged -in school teaching at Sidney, B.C. Later he -located in Victoria, B.C., and entered on a -business career. At the time the war broke -out he was the head of the firm of Currie & -Power, one of the leading real estate concerns -of Vancouver Island. Nearest to his -heart, however, were military pursuits, and -he early identified himself with the 5th -Canadian Garrison Artillery, in which he -served fourteen years, rising ultimately to -the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. With him, -however, military activity was not merely a -case of dress parades, but a real pursuit. -He devoted himself seriously to the study of -modern tactics, not only in connection with -his own arm of the service but infantry as -well. He used his influence to encourage -rifle shooting, and from 1907 onward was -President of the British Columbia Rifle -Association. On the outbreak of the war -followed by the decision of the Canadian -Government to send an Expeditionary Force -to the front, Col. Currie was recognized as -one of the most efficient volunteer officers in -this country, and when Sir Sam Hughes -telegraphed him asking him to accept a -command he did not hesitate to offer his -services. He was assigned to the command -of the Vancouver Highland Battalion, which -trained at Valcartier Camp, and went -overseas in the late autumn of 1914 to complete -its training on Salisbury Plain. The -regiment was one of the first Canadian units -sent to France, and in the terrible fighting -at St. Julien and Langemarck in connection -with the second battle of Ypres, April, 1915, -had its baptism of blood. This was the -engagement of which Viscount French -reported to the War Office “The Canadians -saved the day.” In this severe test Colonel -Currie won a reputation for leadership and -courage of the highest order which has distinguished -him ever since. He received -enthusiastic praise from General Alderson, -the Imperial officer then in command of the -Canadian division, and on the latter’s -recommendation was accorded the coveted -D.S.O. and given command of a brigade. -His service as brigade commander proved so -completely successful that his work won the -attention of the British Headquarters Staff, -and when a reorganization of commands -ensued as a result of the arrival of two new -Canadian divisions in the field, he was -elevated to the rank of Major-General and -placed in charge of the First Division of the -Canadian Army. In this post he commanded -his division at the Battle of Hooge, when it -resisted the full force of the German assault -in what was described as “this particular -hell of Hooge.” His cool and brilliant -handling of what was admittedly a critical -situation for all forces on the bloody Ypres -salient won him the unstinted praise of his -immediate chief-in-command, General Sir -Julian Byng, and all the other British -military experts. The correspondent of the -London “Times” reported that nothing finer -was ever seen in warfare than the manner in -which the lines over Maple Cape, Observatory -Ridge and Armagh Wood were held by -the troops under General Currie’s command. -Sir Julian Byng in his report said “I am proud -of the Canadian troops under my command. -Their behaviour has been magnificent. I -have never known fiercer or more deadly -barrage, nor have I seen any troops fight -with more earnestness, courage and cheerfulness.” -He especially praised General Currie’s -counter attack with the Canadian -division at 1.30 on the morning of June 13, -1916, on a front of 500 yards extending from -Sanctuary Wood to Hill 60, when heavy -losses were inflicted on the Germans and -prisoners taken. The spring of 1917 was -marked by glorious achievement on the part -of the Canadian troops, including the captures -of Messines Ridge and Vimy Ridge, and -finally attaining the investment of Lens. In -the midst of the spring campaign Sir Julian -Byng was shifted to the command of a -British Army. General Currie was at once -recognized as his logical successor and -became the Chief-in-Command of the Canadian -Army in the field with four divisions -under him. The victory of Vimy which was -heralded throughout the world as a great -military achievement, was generally credited -to General Currie’s masterly powers of -preparation and organization. It was in -recognition of these services that His Majesty -King George knighted him on the field of -Vimy as a member of the Order of St. Michael -and St. George. Earlier still he had been -made a Companion of the Bath. It was on -June 19, 1917, that he assumed the chief -command, and one of his first achievements -was the capture of Hill 70 on his own initiative, -rendering the important mining city -of Lens, which had been in German occupation -for nearly three years, untenable for -military uses by the enemy. General Currie -could have occupied Lens any time during -the summer of 1917 that it was deemed -desirable, but owing to the belief of the -French Government that its capture would -only result in further destruction, without -military advantage, the word to advance was -withheld. Instead, during the autumn of -1917 General Currie and his army were -assigned by Sir Douglas Haig to one of the -most terrible tasks that was ever allotted to -a military force. It was that of taking -Passchendaele Ridge in Flanders with a view -to getting to Roulers and cutting off the -U-Boat bases of Zeebrugge and Ostend. Sir -Douglas Haig assigned the task to the -Canadians because he believed that under -the command of General Currie they had -developed into the best “shock” troops in -the world. The Germans on the other hand -believed that Passchendaele Ridge was -impregnable, and many military experts -agreed with them; but the U-Boat menace -was such that the attempt was deemed to be -justified by necessity. Before the attack -General Currie personally addressed his men, -and did not disguise what they had to face, -but so fired them with the spirit of victory -that despite terrible losses they carried the -Ridge. It was one of the tragedies of the -war that the Flanders winter closed down so -suddenly that it was impossible to reap the -full fruits of victory by advancing to Roulers. -By spring the situation had been absolutely -changed by the great German offensive of -March, 1918, and Passchendaele was temporarily -abandoned. This circumstance did -not alter the greatness of the original achievement, -attained in obedience to the orders of -the Headquarters command. In the final -stages of the war which gave the Allies -victory the Canadian army under General -Currie played a role of immortal lustre. -They entered in the fighting in full force on -August 8, 1918, and from thence onward -until the signing of the armistice on November -11 victory after victory crowned their -banners. The greatest of their achievements -was perhaps the breaking of the Drocourt-Queant -Switch Line, a part of the great -“Hindenburg” defence system, which the -Germans had also boasted was impregnable. -When General Currie achieved this victory -and opened the road to Cambrai it was at -once recognized by war experts, and even by -German critics, that Marshal Foch’s strategy -could succeed in a much shorter period than -had been anticipated if such efforts could be -repeated on other parts of the Allied front. -As everyone knows this prognostication was -not falsified. Before the war was over -General Currie and his army had to their -credit the capture of Cambrai and of Valenciennes, -two of the most vital points in the -German resistance. Two hours before the -armistice was signed General Currie rode as -a conqueror into Mons, the point where the -old “contemptibles” of the original British -Army had first shown their prowess against -the Germans in 1914. During the cleaning-up -operations following the war, his administrative -abilities have proven most valuable. -On New Year’s Day, 1919, his services were -further recognized by bestowing on him the -honor of Grand Cross of St. Michael and -St. George, an order in which he was already -a Knight. It must not be forgotten also -that in the critical period when Canada’s -maintenance of her forces in France was in -doubt, General Currie’s voice had great -weight in determining the action of the -people of this country. He strongly urged -on Sir Robert Borden and other ministers -that this country should do everything in -its power to help win the war and meet the -condition caused by the falling off of enlistments, -a condition which was threatening -the dissolution of his ever-victorious army. -The result was the decision of the Canadian -Government to adopt the policy of conscription. -During the election campaign that -ensued he sent the following message to the -Canadian people on behalf of himself and -his staff: “We sincerely sympathize with -endeavors to arouse our countrymen to the -necessity of remaining united and firm in -their determination to furnish troops in the -field all necessary support. We deeply deplore -the fact that the wisdom of doing so -has become a subject for debate and controversy -by those at home. If support is -now withheld or even delayed it means that -additional burdens will have to be borne by -men already doing the seemingly impossible.” -This message coming from the most eminent -of Canadian soldiers and one who in private -life had been a political opponent of the -Borden administration, could not fail to -bring thousands of electors to a sense of -their duty to the soldier in the field. There -have been rumors that an effort would be -made to induce General Currie to enter -Canadian politics as a Liberal leader on his -return from the front, but so far he has -refused to assent to any such proposals. -He is an Anglican in religion and was married -in 1901 to Miss L. S. Chaworth-Masters of -Victoria, B.C., by whom he has one daughter. -A quiet man of iron determination and -marvellous powers of organization, he is, -however, certain to play a prominent role in -the life of Canada in future, whatever path -he may elect to follow.</p> - -<hr class='tbk421'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='gira'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Girard, A.

Of him, -an eminent public man gives us the following: -“Canada, though in some senses a young -country, has already produced a group of -noted artists, whose depiction of her landscape -and life is helping to make the Dominion -known throughout the world. Among -the leaders in this group is John Wycliffe -Lowes Forster, than whom none of our artists -has done so much for our national portraiture. -Not only has he painted more of our public -men than any of his contemporaries, but he -is the only Canadian artist who has devoted -his whole genius to the painting of portraits. -If all Mr. Forster’s portraits of famous Canadians, -which hang in public buildings and -noted homes, were gathered together, they -would in themselves constitute a large national -portrait gallery, and this gallery would -be quite representative of the great leaders -in all walks of life. Among our statesmen—Sir -John A. Macdonald, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, -Alexander Mackenzie, John Sandfield Macdonald, -Sir John Thompson, Robert Baldwin, -Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, William S. Fielding, -Sir George Ross and Sir James P. Whitney, -constitute a comprehensive group. In divinity, -such noted personalities as Punshon, -Cavan, Carman, Primate Archbishop Machray, -Primate Archbishop Sweatman, Bishop -O’Connor, Milligan, Kellog, Maclaren; in -the Judiciary—Chancellors Moss, Boyd, -Meredith and Mulock; in University life—Paxton -Young, Geikie, Nelles, Burwash, -Rand, Wallace, Loudon and Galbraith; -among noted military men—Wolfe, Brock, -Roberts, Denison, Merritt and Otter; in -other walks—Strathcona, Goldwin Smith, -General Booth, Egerton Ryerson, Sir Sandford -Fleming, Senator Cox, Senator Jaffray, -MacKenzie King, Sir Gilbert Parker and -George Brown are representative of a brilliant -galaxy preserved to posterity by Forster’s -indefatigable genius. Added to his -Canadian clientele, Mr. Forster has in recent -years painted many distinguished portrait -subjects in the United States. Born in Halton -County in the middle of the Nineteenth century, -of cultivated English stock, he was -reared, like other men of genius, amid the -simpler pursuits of country life, and his pictures -are therefore remarkable for subtle -insight into character, and have at the same -time the refined atmosphere of old world -culture.”</p> - -<hr class='tbk431'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='engl'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Englehart, Joel Lewis</span></span> (Toronto, Ont.), -Chairman of the Temiskaming and Northern -Ontario Railway (owned by the Province of -Ontario), is the son of Joel and Hannah -Englehart, and was born on November 2, -1847, in Cleveland, Ohio, and received his -education there.

In 1909 he gave an X-Ray equipment -to St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, and in -the following year a chime of eleven bells, -one of the finest in the Province, to Christ -Church, Petrolea, and it is safe to assume -that his private generosity has more than -kept pace with his public benefactions. In -March, 1905, Mr. Englehart was appointed -Chairman of the Temiskaming & Northern -Ontario Railway Commission and his success -in developing what he is pleased to call -“Greater Ontario” has amply justified the -late Sir James Whitney’s choice in placing -him in this responsible position. He has -been accustomed to business on a large scale, -involving powers of comprehension, quick -perception and careful calculation, and on -his appointment, turned his ability and experience -to good account in the service of -the Province. He is very much interested -in the extension of the road and the development -of the vast farming, timber and mining -country it serves, as may be judged from the -fact that only eleven times during the twelve -years he has been Chairman of the Commission -has he missed his monthly trip over the -road, and only once has he taken a month’s -holiday. He believes that “Greater Ontario” -is the biggest asset Canada has and -is firmly convinced that no spot on the continent -affords such opportunity for success -as the territory traversed by the T. & N.O. -Railway System and that to which it has not -yet extended. In support of this claim, Mr. -Englehart refers to a series of articles published -in the “Globe” of August, 1916, which -has previously been somewhat critical, written -by that paper’s farming editor, and giving -statistics to show that the production both -in roots and grain per acre in “Greater Ontario” -was far in excess of the best returns -in the older sections of the Province. Mr. -Englehart is both the apostle and the prophet -of the North, enthusiastically proclaiming its -unrivalled potential possibilities, and as he -is better informed on the subject than any -other man, his statements may be accepted -at face value.

Wellington and O’Connor -streets, Ottawa. Its authorized capital was -$500,000 and its paid-up capital $343,875. -An unique happening is connected with the -founding of this bank, viz., that some twelve -days before the head office in Ottawa was -opened and ready for business, a branch office -was established in Arnprior under the management -of Mr. David Maclachan Finnie, who -was then a young man of 25 years and who -in 1903, 29 years later, became Assistant -General Manager and in 1916, General -Manager, which position he held up to the -time, April 30th, 1919, of its amalgamation -with the Bank of Nova Scotia. Mr. Finnie -was, therefore, the first manager of the Bank -of Ottawa to do business with the public in -its solitary branch in Arnprior in 1874, when -authorized capital of the bank was $500,000, -and the last General Manager of the bank in -1919, when its Capital was $4,000,000; when -its reserve fund was $4,750,000; when its -branches numbered 95; when it had contributed -228 members of its staff to the great -cause of liberty in the world’s great war; -when its total assets were $70,243,000, and -its liabilities $60,539,000, showing a surplus of -just under $10,000,000; and when it was -paying the shareholders over 12 per cent. -on the par value of the stock. The Bank of -Ottawa, from the start, established a high -character which it always retained. Its -management had a reputation invariably for -generous dealings with its clients and never -more than of the late years; and to Mr. -Finnie’s affable manner, generous, yet wise, -consideration of its clients’ requirements -and his undoubted ability both as a banker -and as a financier, the success achieved by -the bank was considerably attributable.

He has published -three volumes of poems and one book -of short stories.

John</span></span> (Victoria, B.C.), son of -Robert Oliver, of Derbyshire, England, and -Emma Lomas, his wife, of Staffordshire. -Was born on July 31, 1856, at Hartington, -Derbyshire, England. In April, 1870, his -parents, with eight children, of whom the -subject of this sketch was the eldest, left the -Motherland, and eventually settled on a -farm in Wellington County, Ontario. There -he worked on his father’s farm in the summer -and went to the woods in the winter, and, -in his spare time, picked up stone masonry. -In 1877, the future premier set out for -Victoria B.C., with only a few dollars in his -pocket and no particular job in sight. -Twenty-three years later he returned to the -capital as a member of the Legislature, and -forty years afterwards he became head of the -Provincial Government. Shortly after going -to British Columbia, Mr. Oliver took up land -in the Delta municipality, and to-day he is -the proprietor of one of the finest farms in -the province. Mr. Oliver has always evinced -a genius for public service, and has always -taken a keen and intelligent interest in public -questions. He had not been long in the west -before he was elected a member of the Delta -Municipal Council, and was later reeve for -several terms. He was first elected to the -British Columbia Legislature at the general -elections in 1900, and re-elected in 1903 and -1907. At the general elections in 1909, as -leader of the Opposition, he contested two -constituencies, Victoria and Delta, and was -defeated in both. A similar experience -awaited him in 1911, and again in the campaign -in 1912. In 1916, upon the formation -of the Brewster cabinet, he was appointed -Minister of Railways and Agriculture. On -the death of Premier Brewster, after one -session in office, Mr. Oliver was called upon -by the Lieutenant-Governor to form a -Government, which he did, retaining his -former portfolios, besides acting as Premier. -His reputation as a parliamentarian of the -first rank was firmly established by the part -he played in the exposure of what was known -as the “Columbia and Western Railway -Scandal.” He was chiefly instrumental in -having grants for some 650,000 acres of coal -mining land in the Kootenay district cancelled. -Premier Oliver was married on June 20, 1886, -to Elizabeth, daughter of William Woodward, -of Mud Bay, British Columbia. He is -the father of the following children: Robert, -William Arthur, John Thomas, Charles -Edward, Joseph, Elizabeth Alice, Sarah Ellen, -Mildred Emma. Premier Oliver has for -years been known as “Honest John,” and his -long record for probity and fair dealing justly -entitles him to this distinction. Although -somewhat handicapped in early life by lack -of scholastic training, the Premier was by -nature a student, and he became a wide -reader. He is a man of rugged honesty, -industrious and aggressive, and enjoys a -measure of public confidence which is indicated -by the title conferred upon him by the -people of his province. The Premier’s candour -and courage are recognized as his -greatest assets, while his long association -with public affairs and foremost position in -the Liberal party has made his name a household -word in British Columbia. The Premier -possesses sufficient property, acquired by his -own industry, to make him independent of -political fortunes. He is undoubtedly one -of the most interesting and picturesque -figures in Canadian public life.</p> - -<hr class='tbk486'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='ferg'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Ferguson, Hon.

His enterprise -in that country laid the foundations of -a substantial fortune, and on his return to -Victoria, he became Liberal candidate for the -House of Commons for Vancouver Island at -the general elections of 1900. He was re-elected -both in 1904 and 1908, and became -one of the most popular figures in Ottawa -during that period. Shortly after his election -in 1908, he resigned his seat in order that the -late Hon. William Templeman, who had been -Appointed Minister of Inland Revenue, might -be elected as his successor. For eight years -Hon.

He was re-elected at -the general election in 1908, 1911 and 1914, -and is to-day the most popular man in the riding. -A few years ago the member for North -York originated the “Lennox Picnic” which -has been declared to be the biggest affair -of its kind in the world.

Lennox, where they -gave a splendid account of themselves. -This battalion had one of the finest brass and -bugle bands in the Canadian forces and also -the fully equipped Brian Boru Irish War -Pipe Band, the first of its kind in Canada, -made possible by the splendid generosity of -Mrs. Ambrose J.

His parents decided that he -should adopt the career of a physician, and -after a good general education in his native -city at Heriot’s Hospital school, he entered -Edinburgh University, and graduated in -1884 with the degree of M.B., C.M. -In the same year he came to Canada, -and commenced the practice of his -profession at Deloraine, Manitoba. He -became well-known throughout the province, -and, in 1896, was elected President of the -Manitoba Medical Council; and, later, President -of the Medical Council of Canada. -Among other matters in which he interested -himself was that of horticulture, a neglected -pursuit in the western country, and became -recognized as a pioneer horticulturist of the -prairies, and an inspiration to others to -adopt such a hobby. He became identified -with the Liberal party, and, in 1907, was -elected to the Manitoba Legislature for -Deloraine. Though defeated in 1910, he -was again elected in 1914, and also in the -general elections of 1915, which resulted -in the overthrow of the Roblin administration. -He had taken a very strong -stand against the indifference of the -authorities to school problems; and when -Hon.

In no section of the world -is the problem of education more difficult, -owing to the great number of nationalities -represented in the numbers of unlettered -immigrants that poured into Manitoba in the -years preceding the great war. With the -problem of making the children of these newcomers -good Canadians, conversant with the -language and institutions of the land of their -adoption, Dr. Thornton grappled, in 1915, -and three and a half years later it was the -testimony of the Winnipeg “Tribune,” -that the change of government had -been worth while, if only for what had -been accomplished in making the schools of -Manitoba Canadian. Before he became -Minister of Education, large numbers of the -public schools were nondescript, and breeding -centres of foreign speech and ideals. In a -determined and unflinching way, Dr. Thornton -put into action, through the machinery -of the schools, the ideals of true Canadianism, -and for the first time enforced the law with -regard to an English education for every child -of school age in Manitoba.

Subsequently, in 1670, -he was married a second time to Jehanne -Dandonneau de Sables, of which union were -born nine children. The eldest grandson of -this couple was Hon. Jacques Duperon Bâby, -who was born in 1731, and lived until 1796. -While he was still a young man, the British -conquest of Canada occurred, and Detroit -falling into British hands in 1760, Jacques -Duperon Bâby and his wife, Suzanne de la -Croix Rheaume (who lived until 1812), became -British subjects. In all they had twenty-two -children. The name of Hon. Jacques -Duperon Bâby is intimately interwoven with -the history of the Essex peninsula. He played -a prominent part in the defence of the Detroit -district during the conspiracy of the Indian -chieftain, Pontiac, in 1760. He was a man -of great worth and integrity, who enjoyed the -confidence alike of the French, English, -and Indian population, and consequently was -able to be of great assistance to the British -government in the establishment of the new -regime. Hon. Jacques Duperon Bâby was the -eldest of his many children. He was born in -1762 and died in 1833, and held positions of -honour and influence in the young colony of -Upper Canada. Jean Baptiste Bâby, grandfather -of the subject of this sketch, was a -younger brother, and served as Treasurer of -the newly-organized County of Essex. Two -other brothers entered the British army, one, -Daniel, rising to the rank of Major-General; -while four of his sisters married British officers, -one of whom was Lord Bellingham. The eldest -son of Jean Baptiste Bâby was William -Duperon Bâby, afterward sheriff of Essex, -born at Sandwich in 1819; and the subject -of this sketch was William’s sixth child. -Since most of the various generations had -large families, the Bâby family connection -in Western Ontario, and indeed throughout -America is literally enormous, and all have -preserved the high tradition of “noblesse -oblige.” Mr. Dixie Bâby was educated -at the Separate Schools and at Assumption -College, Sandwich, Ont., and at the Christian -Brothers’ School, Toronto, in 1876. At the -age of eighteen he was appointed to the -Inland Revenue service, and detailed to -Rae’s distillery as assistant officer to the -late Pierre Ramon. He qualified himself so -well as a vigilant watcher of the government -interests in connection with the important -revenue derived from excise that he has -since served in many parts of Canada, -including Paris, Woodstock, St. Catharines, -Belleville, Brantford, Portage la -Prairie, and Berthierville, Que. He was -first stationed at Hamilton in 1886 as second -officer to the late William Donaghy, and in -1890 transferred to Berthierville. In 1892 -he went back to the Hamilton distillery, and -was appointed officer in charge in October, -1898. On November 21, 1914, he was appointed -Collector of Inland Revenue in -charge of the entire Hamilton division. His -duties have always been of a character which -required expert knowledge as well as rigid -probity, and during his forty-three years’ -service he has won the unfailing confidence -of the Department, no matter which party -was in power. In December, 1880, he married -Mary McDougall, of Belleville, Ont., who was -born April 7, 1861. He has had seven children: -Christina Caroline, deceased; Julia Fortier -and Mary Louisa (twins, also deceased); -Frances Jeanette, wife of Henri Bâby, notary -public, Lachine, Que.; John Dixie; George -Raymond; and Madeline Cecilia. Capt. -George Raymond Bâby, M.D., C.M., who -was born at Berthierville on April 1, 1892, -went to France with the McGill University -1915 unit, Canadian Army Medical Corps, and -was awarded the Military Cross for bravery -and devotion to duty during the great British -advance which began August 8, 1918, and -only ended when the armistice was signed. -The other son, John Dixie Bâby, is a civil -engineer by profession, who assisted in building -the Canton Hankow Railway, China.</p> - -<hr class='tbk549'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='bell2'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Bell, Hon.

In 1916 Hon. Walter -Scott was obliged to resign the Premiership -of Saskatchewan owing to ill health and -Mr. Martin’s party friends in the West -urged that he resign from Federal politics and -accept the Premiership. He assented and -at a by-election on November 13, 1916, -was returned for Mr. Scott’s seat, Regina -City, by acclamation.

He was educated in Ottawa at -the Grey Nuns’ Convent and the Christian -Brothers’ School. Building it on a sure -foundation—according to the laws of economics, -well equipped, and capably managed -by experts—Mr. Henry made his school an -enviable success. At the opening in 1913, -the school was located at the corner of Bank -and Gloucester Streets, and within three -months, having outgrown its original premises -it was removed to its present premises on the -corner of Sparks and Bank Streets—the -Capital’s busy corner—which from time to -time have been enlarged as the requirements -of increased attendance demanded until -to-day they are some five times the original -size, and are likely to be enlarged still further -at an early date, although his school is to-day -the largest in Eastern Ontario. When the -school was transferred from the corner of -Bank and Gloucester Streets to the corner of -Bank and Sparks, Mr. Henry had but 40 -day pupils. In 1918, the number had increased -to 562, which students are to-day -holding good positions in the Dominion -Government offices, manufacturing and -wholesale establishments, banking houses, -etc., all of which bears tribute to the high -standard of efficiency of the school. For -eleven years before Mr. Henry went into -business for himself, he was in charge of the -shorthand department of the Willis Business -College in Ottawa, when S. T. Willis was -proprietor. In his school, his staff consists -of experts in shorthand, typewriting, -business penmanship, practical English, -spelling, punctuation, transcription, correspondence, -etc., etc., and those who receive -instruction in any one of these receive the -best that can be had. At the age of 16 years, -Mr. Henry was awarded a Fourth Form -Certificate and honours for composition, -spelling and penmanship. He acquired a -systematic course of self-instruction, studied -shorthand (French system) and afterwards -English, and made himself proficient in the -Isaac Pitman, Ben Pitman, Graham, Munson, -Scott-Browne, Beale, Calligraphy (a Canadian -production), and the Gregg systems. -He studied French, English, German, Greek -and Latin, and received special study in -penmanship at the Zanerian College, Columbus, -Ohio. To acquire a practical business -education, he had experience as stenographer -and bookkeeper with big business firms such -as Perkins & Fraser, barristers; Alexander -Mutchmor, auditor, etc. From 1894 to -1896, Mr. Henry made a special study of -scientific methods for imparting shorthand -and typewriting, and during 1895-6 -taught shorthand at the Capital City -Business College, at Ottawa, and had -charge of the Y.M.C.A. classes for several -months. In 1896, he attended the Rochester, -New York, Business Institute, to acquire a -greater qualification for teaching, and, in -1899, established a shorthand school, -which later he closed to join the staff of the -Metropolitan Business College at Ottawa. -For two years, he attended Rev. Dr. -McMeekin’s “Ottawa College of Oratory,” -and gave several successful recitals in the -Albert Hall. In 1899, Mr. Henry corrected -a text book on Pitman’s shorthand for Messrs. -Powers and Lyons, of Chicago, Illinois. -Mr. Henry is a graduate of the New York -College of Phonography; the Phonographic -Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio; and is the only -personal graduate in Canada of the well known -Gregg School of Chicago.

From January, 1892, -to July, 1894, he taught in rural ungraded -schools, after which he returned to the farm -for five years to care for his father and mother. -Deciding to equip himself as a commercial -teacher he took a course at Stratford Business -College, and after graduation taught in that -institution for six months.

In -1904, he became Principal, and under his -guidance built up the institution into one of -the most important of its kind in Western -Ontario. In Woodstock he also took an -active part in public and business affairs. He -acted as auditor for several large commercial -houses, and sat in the municipal council as -alderman. In the latter capacity his business -acumen and sound judgment made him one -of the most useful of public servants. His -faculty for acquiring knowledge of every -detail of civic business made him very valuable -in the consideration of measures for the -city’s welfare, so that when in August, 1909, -he decided to leave Woodstock, expressions -of regret were universal. In Woodstock, also, -he became very active in the temperance -cause, and served as Secretary-Treasurer of -the North Oxford Prohibition Association. -As Treasurer of the local branch of the -Y.M.C.A., he rendered very important service -in connection with the erection of new -buildings, and he was very prominent in -church work as a member of the Methodist -body.

About -1880 he joined his father in the publication -of a monthly insurance journal called “The -Budget.” From its first issue the new paper -was independent in policy and aggressive in -tone, and its strictures upon some of the -loose practices of insurance companies, and -especially its denunciations of wild-cat -concerns carrying on a business of plunder in -the name of insurance, made it a power in its -field. A fairly extensive printing business -was developed as a side line of the business, -but ultimately this proved too complex a -load for the periodical to carry. The result -was that other people acquired the rights in -“The Budget.” But the Campbells, father -and son, at once came out with a new venture, -“The Bulletin,” virtually a continuation of -the old. In 1905, feeling the need of greater -freedom in editorial and business policy than -his surroundings permitted, Mr. Campbell -dissociated himself from his father, and began -the publication of “Office and Field,” a -weekly—in its time the only weekly journal -in the world wholly devoted to life insurance. -The world-wide upheaval in life insurance -business arising from the investigation by a -committee of the legislature of the State of -New York in 1905 threatened the new venture -with early extinction, but by daring and skilful -guidance Mr. Campbell brought his craft to -success. He demanded and insisted upon -service of the public as the one justification -for life insurance. It was largely through -his influence that the life insurance agents -were organized as the Life Underwriters’ -Association of Canada, an institution which, -carrying out the policy which he and other -leaders laid down, has achieved a splendid -success.

His father was -an extensive and prosperous farmer, and this -afforded the subject of this sketch the opportunity -of exercising in his boyhood his innate -love of horses which he still retains. While -afforded, like other members of his family, -all the facilities for pursuing the highest educational -course, he was satisfied with that of -the common schools which have produced -so many successful Scotchmen. He served -with the Rothes (Elginshire) Volunteers from -1882 till 1888, when he came to Canada, and -shortly afterwards joined the 48th Highlanders, -serving for five years. After leaving -school he pursued his own inclinations, and -before coming to Canada had gained practical -experience in a general way, besides -having considerable knowledge along useful -technical lines as a reserve to fall back on. -In 1888, he became connected with the Empire -Tobacco Co., with which he remained -as Toronto representative till 1897, when he -established in Toronto the wholesale tobacco -and Cigar firm of W. B. Reid & Co., which -was the foundation of the present extensive -corporation of which he was the originator, -and has always been the head and controlling -genius. The firm was incorporated as the -United Cigar Stores, Limited, in 1902, with a -capital of $20,000, and opened several cigar -stores in Toronto. In May, 1914, the company’s -capital stock was increased to $250,000, -and the number of stores largely increased -and extended to outside cities. A -year later, United Cigar Stores, Limited, of -Canada was incorporated with a capital of -$3,800,000, with Mr. Reid still in full control. -The Company now has 164 stores, extending -from Quebec City to Port Arthur, including -39 in Toronto, 13 in Ottawa, 11 in Hamilton, -and one or more in almost every important -town in the province. Remarkable as this -achievement is in so short a time, it falls far -short of the goal set by Mr. Reid, who intends -to have stores in every city and town -of consequence in the Dominion, and no -doubt would have already made this goal -an established fact before now if the war -had not put a temporary stop to further -expansion. Besides operating this great -chain of stores, the company has two -large cigar factories, and as a holding company, -also controls a chain of Drug Stores -with about a dozen branches, and a constantly -and rapidly increasing business. The annual -turnover of the cigar stores and cigar factories -is between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, -all directed by Mr. Reid personally from the -head office. This immense volume of business -enables the company to buy goods in -such large quantities that it obtains better -terms than are available by small purchasers, -and at the same time minimizes the percentage -of overhead expenses. Mr. Reid -married Edith E. Rogers, daughter of A. C. -Rogers, Newmarket, Ont., November 8, 1896. -He is a member of the Toronto and Montreal -Boards of Trade, of the Scarborough Golf -Club, Lakeview Golf, Mississauga Golf and -Ontario Clubs; member of the A.F. & A.M., -a Presbyterian, and independent in politics. -His chief recreations are bowling and golf. -He resides at 42 Lakeview Ave., Toronto. -Mr. Reid is genial in manner, a systematic organizer, -with sufficient of the imaginative -faculty to prompt enterprise and enough determination -and reserve force to ensure the -carrying out of anything to which he lays -his hand. He was the first man in the province -of Ontario to place on the market the -product of Canadian grown tobacco, and the -expansion of this business has proven his -foresight beyond question. The great war -made heavy drafts on the staff of the Company, -but Mr. Reid is too good a Britisher -to complain of that; in fact, in addition to -contributing thousands of dollars to patriotic -purposes, so strong along this line is he that -he never has allowed any foreign element to -obtain a footing in his company, which he -says will be strictly Canadian, without outside -influence, so long as he is at its head—and -that means as long as he desires to remain -in active business.</p> - -<hr class='tbk562'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='johnson'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Johnson, Hon.

His paternal grandfather -was a native of Scotland, who became -a member of the bar and later went to Jamaica, -where he took an active part in the -agitation for the abolition of slavery, which -became a fully accomplished fact in 1838. In -this movement Robertson was in correspondence -with Clarkson, Macaulay (father of Lord -Macaulay), Wilberforce and others active in -freeing the British Empire from this reproach. -Later, he came to Canada, where Gavin -Robertson, father of the subject of this sketch, -was born, and where he became a farmer and -school teacher on the Niagara peninsula. -Gideon Decker Robertson was educated at -the public and high schools of Welland and -as a youth took up telegraphy in connection -with railroad work. A strong believer in -trades unionism, he soon became active in -the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, an international -body, of which he was some years -ago elected Vice-President, an office he still -holds.

In -1917, when Sir Robert Borden decided -to abolish party lines and form a -Union Government, he offered Mr. Robertson -a position in the Senate and a seat -in his Cabinet.

Winnipeg was chosen as -a strategic point, because of its peculiar -geographical position as the chief divisional -point of three transcontinental railways. -The aim was to cut Canada in two in the -matter of communications, and then by -broadening the strike Eastward and Westward -secure complete control of Canadian -transportation and industry, after which the -movement was to be carried into every -section of the United States. Senator -Robertson himself went to the scene of -operations, and by his fearless, though moderate -handling of the situation, and his influence -with the saner labor elements, rendered -the conspiracy abortive so far as the rest -of Canada was concerned, and fruitless in -Winnipeg. He thus secured a triumph for -legitimate trade unionism, of which he is the -chief sponsor in Canada. He is a Freemason, -a Presbyterian, and in politics a member of -the Independent Labor Party. On June 10, -1896, he married Mary Berry Hay, daughter -of Alexander Hay, Watford, Ont., and has -six children—Edwin J., John McElroy, Gain -Elliot, Alexander Lorne, Mabel Letitia, and -Alma Lauretta.

William</span></span> (Ottawa, Ont.), -the subject of this sketch, was born in New -Edinburgh in 1843, a suburb of the city of -Ottawa. He was educated in the Public and -Grammar Schools. When about seventeen -years of age Col. Hutchison commenced to -learn the Milling business with his uncle, the -late Thos. McKay, who was then owner of -the McKay Mills at the Chaudiere and also -a partner in the New Edinburgh Mills. At -the age of twenty Col. Hutchison left for the -United States where he followed the milling -business for several years. On his return he -took charge of his uncle’s business and -shortly afterwards was made a partner. -In 1885 he was elected to City Council, -and served for seven years. It was -during Col. Hutchison’s service in the -City Council that the question of the -proper drainage of the city attained its -greatest importance, and it is owing to his -keen foresight and wise counsel and persistence -that Ottawa to-day has the excellent -drainage system of which it now boasts, and -that is but one of the many happenings for the -benefit, progress and beautification of Ottawa -that were brought into existence through his -instrumentality during his term of office in -the City’s Civic affairs. From 1888 -to, and including the year 1905, a period -of eighteen years, Col. Hutchison was -a member of the Board of Directors of the -Central Canada Exhibition Association, and -from 1895 to 1905, 10 years, he was President. -On retiring in 1906 he was elected -Honorary President of the Association and -has been re-elected to that position every -year since. Col. Hutchison, with the assistance -of Messrs. Ahearn and Topper, was -instrumental in converting the old horse car -line to electric, giving Ottawa one of the -best street car services on the continent. -He ran for the Dominion House in 1896, -with the result that both he and his -French colleague, Napoleon A. Belcourt, -were elected by a sweeping majority. At the -time the Conservatives felt that they had a -serious grievance, but ere long the good-hearted, -good-natured and genial new Member -became the friend and companion of both -Liberals and Conservatives in the House of -Commons. In 1901, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier -needed a competent man to travel to -all parts of the world to exhibit Canada’s -mineral, cereal and industrial resources, -Col. Hutchison was asked to accept the -position of Canadian Exhibition Commissioner. -He accepted and since his appointment -he has had charge of Canada’s -exhibits at the following times and places:—1901, -Buffalo, U.S.A.; 1902, Osaka, Japan; -1903-04 St. Louis, U.S.A.; 1905, Liege, -Belgium; 1906, Milan, Italy; 1907, Dublin, -Ireland; 1908, Shepherds Bush, London, -England; 1909, Seattle, U.S.A.; 1910, Brussels, -Belgium; 1911-12, Crystal Palace, London, -England; 1913, Ghent, Belgium; 1914-15, -San Francisco, U.S.A.; 1916-17, San -Diego, U.S.A. The great world war has caused -a cessation of the valuable exhibits, but the -whole display is located in commodious quarters -on Wellington St. in Ottawa, under Col. -Hutchison’s special care, waiting and ready -to be shipped at a moment’s notice. -In 1902 Col. Hutchison was decorated by the -Emperor of Japan with the Order of the -Rising Sun (with rank of Colonel in the -Army). In 1905 he was decorated by the -late King Leopold II. of Belgium, with the -Order of Leopold, and in 1906 by the King of -Italy with the Order of the Crown of Italy, -in 1910 he was made Commander of the -Order of the Crown of Belgium by King -Albert I. Col. William Hutchison is the son -of the late Robert Hutchison of Ayrshire, -Scotland, who came to Canada in 1830 and -in New Edinburgh married Mary McKay, -niece of the late Hon. Thos. McKay, who -was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. In September, -1874, he married Electa Blanche, -daughter of S. T. Willett of Chambly, -Quebec. Two sons have blessed the union. -In religion he is a Presbyterian, and in -politics a high tariff Liberal.

His mother, Mary Sinclair, -was born in Scotland. Her people had -settled in the township of Nelson, in the -County of Halton. The family removed -from Toronto township when the subject of -this sketch was only eight or nine years of -age to the County of Haldimand, where he had -some experience in the Log School House -education of the primitive settlements of that -County in the early 50’s. He afterwards -went to the Central School in Hamilton, the -late Dr. Sangster then being Superintendent -and Head Master. In due course, and working -against great disadvantages, he became -head boy of the public schools of Hamilton, -a position which he maintained until he -passed the matriculation examination of the -University of Toronto in 1859. As head boy -of the school, he with the second boy, was -selected to open the waterworks system of -the city of Hamilton in 1858. His course at -the University was a very successful one, -taking scholarships all the way through the -various years, and graduating in 1863 as the -highest honor graduate with the Prince of -Wales Prize, then given for general proficiency, -including honors at graduation, the -Silver Medals in Classics and Modern Languages, -and the prize in Oriental languages, -including Hebrew, Chaldee and Syriac. After -taking his B.A. degree, he commenced the -study of law in the office of the late Sir George -Burton in Hamilton, at the same time taking -the law course of the University, and receiving -the degree of LL.B. in 1869 with the gold -medal. One thing of note in connection -with General Gibson’s life is that he has -always endeavored to repay the educational -institutions from which he received his education. -For many years he was a member -of the Board of Education in Hamilton, and -was its Chairman for two years. During that -time the Collegiate Institute was brought into -prominence as one of the leading secondary -educational institutions of the country. He -served as a Senator of the University of -Toronto, being elected at the first election of -graduates in 1873 and re-elected in 1878 and -1883. He subsequently founded a general -proficiency scholarship for matriculation -candidates. When a student of the University -during the Trent affair, he joined the -University Rifles, being one of the first to -sign the roll of that company in 1860. He -has been in the Militia ever since, for now -nearly 59 years, and at the present time is -the senior officer in the Canadian Force -among all who are not following military life -as their regular occupation. In 1863, he -transferred to the 13th, and has served from -private up through all the ranks to the position -of commanding officer, which position -he held for 9 years, and at the present time -is the Honorary Colonel of that corps. He -was present at Ridgeway as a lieutenant. He -subsequently commanded the 15th Brigade, -having headquarters at Hamilton, and later -on at the beginning of the great war received -the rank of Brigadier-General. As a marksman -he always has had a very high reputation, -having been a member Canadian Wimbledon -teams in 1874, ’75, and ’79, being a frequent -prize winner, and taking the much coveted -Prince of Wales prize in the last-named year. -He took part in several of the early international -long range rifle contests with British, -Australian, and American rifle teams. In -1881 he commanded the team which defeated -the British team in the competition for the -Kolapore Cup. He was president for three -years of the Ontario Rifle Association, was -also President of the Canadian Military Rifle -League, and from 1893 for thirteen or fourteen -years was President of the Dominion Rifle -Association. In 1907 he again commanded -the Canadian rifle team at Bisley. He has -also been President of the Canadian Military -Institute, and was President of the Canadian -Red Cross Society from its original organization -throughout the South African War, and -subsequently for a period of about 14 years, -and has been throughout the recent great -war one of the most active members of the -Executive Board. He was for two years -President of the Hamilton St. Andrew’s -Society. From an early age he has been a -very prominent Freemason—was Grand -Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of -Canada during the years 1892 and 1893, -being now the representative of the Grand -Lodge of England, and for nine years was -Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme -Council of the Scottish Rite Masons in -Canada. He has always taken a prominent -part in politics. As a young man he was -Secretary of the Hamilton Reform Association, -which position he held for many years. -He was first returned to the Legislature in -1879, representing Hamilton for a period of -19 years, and afterwards East Wellington for -7 years. He entered the Government as -Provincial Secretary in 1889, became Commissioner -of Crown Lands in 1896, and -Attorney-General in 1899. He was an -honorary A.D.C. to their Excellencies, Lord -Aberdeen and Lord Minto, when Governors-General, -and in 1897 was selected by the -Militia Department to proceed to England -in connection with the celebration of the -Queen’s Diamond Jubilee; was present -by invitation, at the coronations in Westminster -Abbey of the late King Edward VII, -and of the present King George V. He has -always taken a leading part at the Bar, and -was made a Queen’s Counsel in 1890, is a -Bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada, -and as a young man was an examiner in the -Faculty of Law at Toronto University. In -1903 he received the honorary degree of -LL.D. from that institution, and subsequently -also from McMaster University. In 1908 -he became Lieut.-Governor of the Province -of Ontario, being the last to occupy the old -Government House on King Street West, -Toronto, continuing for over six years. -During his term, on the recommendation of -His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, -then Governor-General of Canada, he was -created a Knight Commander of the Order -of St. Michael and St. George. As a -public man he shrank from prominence -in the public eye; he was most industrious -and faithful in the performance of any duties -he undertook to discharge. He had an -excellent training for many years under the -greatest of law makers this country has -ever produced, Sir Oliver Mowat. While a -private member of the Legislative Assembly -he was selected as Chairman of the Private -Bills Committee, which for fifteen years -he presided over with eminent ability, -fairness and impartiality. During the -short period when the license branch -was under his control some of the most -advanced measures of temperance legislation -were introduced by him, including the -local option law, the validity of which was -stoutly contested, but in the end affirmed by -the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. -Though not himself a practical sportsman, -almost immediately after entering the legislature -he led a movement for better protection -of game birds and fur-bearing animals, -first securing the abolition of spring shooting -and other improvements in the law, and -afterwards the appointment of a Royal Commission -followed by a thorough revision of -the game laws and the establishment of a -departmental branch, with a chief game -warden and other provincial wardens entrusted -with the enforcement of the laws -relating to game protection. While Provincial -Secretary he was always an industrious -legislator. The laws relating to Joint Stock -Companies were thoroughly revised, modernized, -and simplified by him. The old laws -relating to building societies and loan companies -were completely overhauled, and became -the present Loan Corporations Act. -It was at this time also that he undertook -to stem the tide or flood of benefit societies, -many of them of the fake order, which threatened -to inundate this Province—a subject -of legislation requiring at the time very -cautious and skilful handling, but which, -with the able assistance of Mr. J. H. Hunter, -M.A., was ultimately put on a very satisfactory -footing. One of the most important -laws of comparatively recent years owes to -him its existence, and has generally been referred -to as the “Gibson Act”—the Act relating -to neglected and dependent children—and -the establishment of the Children’s -Branch, with Mr. Kelso as its chief officer. -This law has been most beneficial in its operation, -and has been followed more or less -closely in most of the other Provinces. During -his comparatively short incumbency as Commissioner -of Crown Lands he introduced and -carried through the House the important -legislation prohibiting the exportation of saw -logs—a measure affecting very large interests -but meeting the entire approval of the public. -He also dealt with important changes in the -mining laws during a period of great mining -excitement in the Province. It is probably -not generally known that while Commissioner -of Crown Lands he introduced a short but -very important measure preventing any -absolute alienation by the Crown of Provincial -water powers, and providing for leasing same -for short renewable terms of years subject -to conditions in the public interest. It is -somewhat singular that a public man who -has often been unfairly criticized as a champion -of monopolies should never have been -credited with this act directly aimed against -and prohibitive of monopoly. In the matter -of forest preservation or reforesting, Mr. -Gibson aimed at carrying out a programme -which probably time would justify as the most -effective and productive policy possible. He -aimed at the selection and setting apart every -year a portion of the Crown domain unfit for -agricultural purposes as a timber growing -reserve. Many such sections in Northern -Ontario, which have been cut over or burnt -over, and now more or less covered over by new -growth, could be set apart and treated as territory -to be guarded as timber growing areas. -In the Eastern part of the Province certain -old limits were repurchased from the license -holders and so set apart, and again another -area in Western Ontario. The plan of year -after year reserving areas in this way would -in a generation or so result in well defined -sections of the Province producing a new -crop of timber which would not fail to become -an extremely valuable asset to posterity. -It was in Sir John Gibson’s time that the first -steps were taken for the establishment of the -Temagami Reserve very effectively carried -out by Mr. Davis, his successor. As Attorney-General -he had, of course, the responsibility -of legislation generally. The assessment laws -had been the subject of investigation and -report at the hands of two Royal Commissioners, -and amid the distressing conflict of -opinion on the various questions which arise -whenever this subject is touched, the difficulty -of framing a generally acceptable measure -seemed insuperable. Whatever may be -thought of the present act, Sir John Gibson’s -tact as a legislator was mainly instrumental -in having it passed through the House, and -probably as time has passed and the public -have become more and more familiar with -its provisions it may be considered to give -general satisfaction. The collection and revision -of Imperial Statutes in force in this -Province in the shape of a brief third volume -of the Revised Statutes carried out with the -aid of a committee of the judges has been a -boon to law students, and a great convenience -to the legal profession. (The foregoing facts -and observations regarding Sir John’s career -have been contributed by Mr. James Innes -Macintosh, who was for several years his -private secretary when a Minister of the -Crown.) He was one of the pioneers, along -with the late John Patterson and the late -John Moodie, in introducing Hydro-Electric -power and long distance transmission of same -in this country utilizing surplus water from -the Welland Canal, and transmitting the -power to Hamilton, where very soon many -of the industrial and electric railways -adopted the same, to the great advantage of -the companies. For many years he was -President of the Cataract Power Company. -He is a Director of the Canadian Bank of -Commerce, the Canada Life Assurance Company, -the Toronto General Trusts Corporation, -the Toronto Conservatory of Music, -the Homewood Retreat at Guelph, the Dominion -Power and Transmission Company, -the Canadian Westinghouse Company, and -several other industrial companies in Hamilton. -He was married first in 1869 to Emily -Annie, daughter of the late Rolph Birrell, of -London, who died in 1874; second, in 1876 -to Caroline, daughter of the late Senator -Adam Hope, who died in 1877; and third, on -May 18, 1881, to Elizabeth, daughter of the -late Judge Malloch, of Brockville. He had -six children, viz., John Gordon Gibson, who -died shortly after taking his B.A. degree at -the University of Toronto; Eugenia Elizabeth -Emily; Margaret Mary Stewart, wife of -Robert S. Waldie, of Toronto; Archibald Hope -Gibson, Barrister; Captain Colin W. G. -Gibson, of the Royal Fusiliers, who was twice -severely wounded; and Francis Malloch -Gibson, who went to the front as an officer -of the 48th Highlanders at the commencement -of the war and was killed in action near -Armentieres. Sir John’s manner is dignified -but affable, his style of speech clear and precise; -in his movements he is deliberate, but -with the elasticity of well-preserved middle -age, while his expression is kindly but alert, -with evidence of unlimited determination -and unmistakable inclination and power to -lead. When an active officer of the Militia -he was recognized by his fellow-officers as a -master of field manœuvres. The beautiful -family residence, “Ravenscliffe,” is delightfully -situated on the lower slope of the mountain, -looking down Ravenscliffe Avenue, -through a vista of stately elm trees.</p> - -<hr class='pbk'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='kennedy'></a></p> - -<div class='figcenter'> -<img src='images/kennedy.jpg' alt='' id='iid-0042' style='width:400px;height:auto;'/> -<p class='caption'>W.

Walter George</span></span> -(Quebec City), Treasurer of the Province of -Quebec, was born at Danby, in the County -of Drummond. He is the son of the Hon. -Senator William Mitchell, his mother’s -maiden name being Miss Dora Goddard. -His early education was matured at the Montreal -High School and at the Bishop’s College -school of Lennoxville. Thereafter he entered -McGill University as an undergraduate, -finally taking his degree of B.C.L. in 1901. -On being admitted to practice at the Bar, -he became connected with the law firm of -Greenshields, Greenshields & Heneker. Two -years after he became a prominent member -of the firm of Laflamme, Mitchell and Callaghan, -receiving his K.C. in 1912. In view of -his being chosen by the Lieutenant-Governor -to assume the duties of the Hon. P. S. G. -Mackenzie, who had died suddenly, he was -subsequently elected by acclamation as -representative of the constituency of Richmond, -a county which he continues to represent -as Member of the Provincial Parliament, -after a second election by acclamation. -Prior to his assuming the office of Provincial -Treasurer, Mr. Mitchell was in possession of -a large and lucrative practice in Montreal. -While actively engaged with his professional -duties, as a leading lawyer, he did not fail to -take an active interest in political affairs, -and came into public prominence in the administration -of the Montreal Reform Club. -Through his efforts in co-operation with his -associate members, new and attractive -quarters for that club were erected on Sherbrooke -Street; and, in 1913, he was chosen, -by way of reward for his active services, the -President of that flourishing institution, and -in the following year was re-elected to the -same office. From the date of the famous -Drummond-Arthabaska election contest in -1910, Mr. Mitchell became more and more -intimately identified with the political life -of the Eastern Townships and its various -electoral movements. During the winning -of the constituency of Drummond-Arthabaska -back to the Liberal interest in 1910, -he was associated with Dr. Beland, later -a prisoner of war in Germany, and was -acclaimed everywhere as an eloquent and -persuasive pleader in behalf of the naval -policy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. In fact, in -1911, it was to a large extent through Mr. -Mitchell’s influence as an organizer, not to -speak of his father’s unbroken popularity as -a public man, and other influences, that the -constituency of Drummond-Arthabaska was -won over to the Liberal interest. As Provincial -Treasurer, Mr. Mitchell has made a -name for himself as a most successful financier, -taking a prominent rank almost immediately -as a parliamentary debater. Nor has -he failed to share in remedial legislation, -whenever such came up for consideration in -the Provincial Parliament. He has interested -himself particularly in modifying the -Quebec License Law, fathering amendments -to that law restricting the number of licenses, -increasing the license fees, prohibiting treating, -increasing the age limit, shortening the -hours of sale, and urging an enactment to -abolish the bars on the 1st of May, 1918, -with immediate sanction to the Minister of -Militia and Defence to declare any or all -districts throughout the Province of Quebec -“out of bounds” for soldiers and sailors. At -his instance also the Quebec Insurance Act -has been amended from time to time, so as -to give better protection to the public. One -of his most notable and highly patriotic acts -in parliament since the war in Europe began, -was his presentation of a Bill, asking authority -to subscribe out of the public revenues in -behalf of his native province a million of -dollars to the Canadian Patriotic Fund—a -proposal which met with an instant and unanimous -approval from both chambers. Under -his mature financial advice the Province of -Quebec has spent millions of dollars in constructing -and improving highways of nearly -every district. And yet so prudently have -the finances of the province been husbanded -under his judicious oversight, that the provincial -debt has virtually remained as easy -a burden on the people as it ever has been, -notwithstanding the large amounts spent -on the highways, and the large increase in -the grants to education, agriculture, and -public works. Altogether Mr. Mitchell has -won the highest credit as a parliamentarian -and a financier, enjoying the full confidence -of his colleagues and of many of his fellow -legislators, irrespective of party lines. He was -married on February the 4th, 1907, Mrs. -Mitchell’s maiden name having been Miss -Antonia Pelletier.

He received his education -in the Public and Grammar Schools of -that town and began business with the firm -of James Campbell & Son, at that time -extensive manufacturing stationers, and -publishers of Toronto. After six years’ -association with this firm he removed to -Winnipeg and subsequently engaged in the -wholesale stationery business as senior partner -in Parsons, Bell & Co., which afterwards -merged with the Consolidated Stationery -Co., Ltd., of which he was President for a -number of years. In 1882 Mr. Parsons -married Anne Kate Helliwell, daughter of -Rev. Thomas Lord Helliwell of Winnipeg, -and has three daughters, Mrs. Chas. A. -Withers, Mrs. Henry F. Gooderham, and -Mrs. Errol A. Hethrington, all of Toronto. -After sixteen years of successful business in -Winnipeg, Mr. Parsons was compelled to -leave the northern climate in the interest -of his health and returned to Toronto where -in 1906, along with others, he established -the extensive business of which he continues -the moving spirit. He has always taken an -active interest in religious, social and philanthropic -work and for many years has been -a director of the Methodist Union. Since -1900 he has been Chairman of the Ontario -Board of Directors, Canadian Fire Insurance -Co., and is a member of the Northern Ontario -Fire Relief Committee, and the Organization -of Resources Committee of the -Province of Ontario, also of the Ontario -Executive of the Bonne Entente at whose -meeting in the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, -in 1916, he was one of the principal speakers -and put forward this three-plank platform: -First—We ought to live together in sincerity, -friendship and justice; Second—We ought -to strive for a cleaner public life; Third—We -ought to help maintain the integrity -and strength of our great Empire. But it -is in connection with his work in the Canadian -Manufacturers Association that Mr. -Parsons has come most prominently before -the public, for though naturally being far -from an aggressive man, when the burden of -office was laid upon him he realized his -responsibilities to the full and has frequently -from the platform, in the press and in action -given evidence of the reserve force that was -in him. He was elected for four successive -years (1911-1915) Chairman of the Transportation -Committee of the Association; -Second Vice-President in 1915, First Vice-President -in 1916, and President at the -Annual Meeting of the Association in Winnipeg -in 1917. He was Chairman in 1917 -of the Committee of Employers of Labor -for the Province of Ontario to secure men to -help in the harvest fields, an organization -responsible for the saving of many millions -in food stuffs. On assuming office as President -of the C.M.A. Mr. Parsons delivered -an inspiring inaugural address of a thoroughly -business character, but progressive, loyal, -ethical, liberal and humanitarian as well. -In 1918 he was appointed a representative -of the C.M.A. on the Federal Board for -the settlement of Labor disputes. Writing -of him on this occasion, “The Monetary -Times” says: “He is a capable, energetic -business man, with a frank and alert manner -that wins confidence. The welfare of the -Canadian Manufacturers Association is in -good hands under his care. He is a type of -Association President well able to smooth -out many of the difficulties between capital -and labor, having appreciation of the problems -met by both.” Mr. William Lewis -Edmonds writes at the same time in “Industrial -Canada”: “While Mr. Parsons is strong -as a business man, and particularly in the -quality of executive ability, that is not the -only direction in which his strength lies. -He is a strong man all the way round. He -is a man of strong opinions and particularly -on subjects that approach the ethical in -character, and having cultivated the habit -of looking at controversial subjects from the -other fellow’s perspective as well as his own, -it is not a difficult thing to persuade him to -change his attitude, provided the other -fellow is right and he is wrong, but when -once after carefully weighing the pros and -cons, he is persuaded that he is right he’ll -not surrender principles, although where -non-essentials are the issue he will readily -agree to a compromise. In judgment he is -sound, and in insight keen and quick. Although -not connected with either political -party, Mr. Parsons takes a keen interest in -public affairs, and practical movements -which have for their object a betterment of -conditions in state and society have his -warm, and in many instances, his active -sympathy.” Writing in the “Toronto Star -Weekly,” Arthur Hawkes says: “Mr. Parson’s -service in the Manufacturers Association -has been real service, and not a still hunt for -glory. In committee he is as cautious as -strong, and as strong as wise. He looks -often before he leaps and he can take a pretty -good leap—the fundamental condition of -which is that he shall have examined the -jumping-off place and surveyed the spot -where he intends to land. When he has -made up his mind he doesn’t change it, which -is because he is sound in judgment.” In -concluding his quite lengthy sketch and -referring particularly to Mr. Parsons’ political -platform he says: “This is a pretty -good creed. It is just like Parsons.

After living the life of a pioneer -farmer for twenty years, he founded “The -Farmer’s Advocate” of London in 1866 as -a means of assisting other settlers who were -continually coming to him for advice, and -it is through his long association with this -journal and its colleague, “The Farmer’s -Advocate and Home Journal” of Winnipeg -that the subject of this sketch became so -widely known. After receiving his early -education in the London schools, Mr. Weld -learned the printing business in a local shop -and completed his apprenticeship with a -short post-graduate engagement with a large -New York publishing house. Returning to -Canada, he was attracted by the West, -which was then opening up for settlers, and -he staked his claim in Saskatchewan, where -he “proved up” on a half-section in 1885. -The growth of “The Farmer’s Advocate” -then necessitated his return to London, -where he became business manager of the -publication until his father’s death on -January 3, 1891. He then became general -manager, and when the Wm. Weld Company, -Ltd., was organized and incorporated in -July of the same year, he acquired a controlling -interest in the firm, which he has since -held. The first issue of “The Farmer’s -Advocate” of Winnipeg appeared in 1890. -It was edited in the West, but a separate -company was not organized until July 31, -1905, when The Farmer’s Advocate of -Winnipeg, Ltd., was incorporated with Mr. -Weld as President. A building was erected -on Princess Street in that year, but it proved -inadequate to meet the ever-growing requirements -of the business, so it was sold -in 1911, and a five-story concrete, fire-proof -building was constructed at the corner of -Notre Dame and Langside Streets. In order -to keep the two publications inseparably -linked with practical and progressive farming, -as well as to provide means whereby the -editors might keep constantly in touch with -varying agricultural conditions, a farm was -purchased in the neighbourhood of London, -and, incidentally, a separated portion of this -is a part of the Weld homestead which has -always been owned by the family under the -original Crown grant.

In 1685, hundreds of -thousands of these Puritans went into exile, -going to Prussia, Holland, Switzerland, England, -Scotland, and America, and Mr. Butterworth’s -ancestors found a resting-place, a -place of safety, in England, where they remained -and industriously added to the wealth -of the country, and took part in the Peninsular -War at the beginning of the 19th century. -Being seafaring, enterprising, and -ambitious men, and with a desire to make -their mark in the new world, where they -would have large scope to exercise their -talents, they left the old country and arrived -at Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, where, -eventually, they became builders and owners -of merchant ships and captains in the merchant -fleet, and married into United Empire -families. Tiring of seafaring life, and in -compliance with the wishes of the sons, and -at the suggestion of the mother, Mr. Butterworth, -Sr., sold out his shipping interests -and the valuable lands and wharves which -he owned at Port Hawkesbury, and with his -wife and family arrived in Ottawa, which was -then in its infancy, having been incorporated -just one year, previously. When they grew -up, Mr. Butterworth and his two brothers, -E. B. and C. A. Butterworth, following in -the ambitious footsteps of their ancestors, -not satisfied with their then existing opportunities -for advancement, left for the United -States, and engaged in business and met -with success. Their love for the British -Empire, however, was still dominant within -them, and they decided to sell out, return to -Canada, and make it their future home. In -1874, they entered into business in Ottawa -as hardware merchants and metal workers, -and later, in 1881, started in the coal business. -Eventually, C. A. and E. B. retired from the -coal business and continued in the hardware -business, while J. G. B., the subject of this -sketch, retired from both of these and remained -alone as the coal merchant, which -business he has carried on to this day most -successfully, and which to-day holds the lead -of all others. Mr. Butterworth has three -plants, with large storage capacity sufficient -to hold at any one time 25,000 tons, and -enabling him to constantly carry a heavy -stock of coal during the summer to provide -against delays in winter transportation and -during the winter season. Over $100,000 -is invested in these plants. In the severe -winter of 1917, had it not been for the provision -made by and the ability of Mr. Butterworth -to supply large quantities of coal, there -would have been great hardship in not only -Ottawa, but in Carleton Place, Perth, Almonte, -Arnprior, Renfrew, and many outside -places in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, -to which points he was able to and did ship -thousands of tons of coal. He, in that terrible -winter, became the great provider of the -people of Ottawa and her surrounding neighbours -by supplying them with the coal they -needed. For 1918 he was equally prepared -to meet any emergency that might arise, but, -luckily, the winter was not of a nature so -severe as that of the previous year. In 1917, -in order to cope with all demands that were -likely to be made, Mr. Butterworth practically -took care of the coal trade. He took -the whole output of the Independent Coal -Mine in Pennsylvania, shipped the small -sizes to N.Y. and N.J. to the textile and -munitions factories, and the prepared sizes -into Canada. In so doing he secured large -quantities of coal which otherwise could not -have been obtained, and his foresight and -enterprise prevented a serious coal famine in -Ottawa and the other places before mentioned. -The name of John George Bissett Butterworth -will always be held high in gratitude -and esteem by the people of Ottawa and of -many other cities and towns in the Provinces -of Ontario and Quebec.

The responsible duties of -the office will be well discharged by one who -never failed in duty.” Brigadier-General -William St. Pierre Hughes, D.S.O., Superintendent -of Penitentiaries, and brother of -Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, was born -in Durham County, Ontario, June 2, 1863, -and is the son of John Hughes and Caroline -Laughlin. From both sides of his family he -inherited military tastes, his father being the -son of a surgeon-major in the Imperial army -who spent eighteen years in India, and his -mother the daughter of Colonel Laughlin of -the 10th Royal Irish Artillery and the granddaughter -of Colonel St. Pierre, one of the -most famous of Napoleon’s colonels. General -Hughes was educated entirely by his father -until his eleventh year, when he went to -Toronto where he remained six years. After -a year at home he went to Winnipeg, where -in 1885 he enlisted with the famous “Little -Black Devils.” During his stay in Winnipeg -he won the amateur championship of Manitoba -and the North-West as a one-mile foot -runner. After the Rebellion he returned to -Ontario, spending a year at college in Belleville; -then a year in Orillia where he played -lacrosse with the Orillia team when that -team won the championship of Ontario; then -to Cornwall, where he played with the famous -Cornwall lacrosse team during its years of -national triumph. In 1893, General Hughes -became Warden’s Secretary and Clerk of -Industries in the Kingston Penitentiary, taking -up what has become his life’s work. After -filling a number of different positions in -penitentiary work, during which he took a -deep interest in criminology, General Hughes -became Inspector of Penitentiaries in 1913. -With great earnestness he started to put into -effect many cherished plans for prison reform, -but the call of 1914 put an end for the time -to this work. During all the years of prison -work General Hughes has kept in close touch -with military affairs. Starting as lieutenant -in the old 14th Battalion of Kingston, he, in -course of time, became lieutenant-colonel -commanding it, and was also brigade-major of -the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade. General -Hughes was in the West when war was declared, -and on his return in September, 1914, -hurried to Valcartier, but was then unable to -get a place in the 1st Contingent, which had -already been mobilized. He then returned -to Kingston and mobilized the famous 21st -Battalion. He commanded this battalion -continuously until July, 1916, when he was -promoted to the command of the 10th Canadian -Infantry Brigade, which he commanded -in France until the spring of 1917. He then -returned to England, where he commanded -the Canadian area at Crowborough until it -was taken over by the Imperial army. General -Hughes then became president of a -board for adjusting the financial differences -between the Imperial and Canadian authorities -as regards barrack damages, etc., and -succeeded in writing off over $225,000 of -charges made by Imperials against Canadians, -and also saving an amount of almost -$50,000 which was paid to Canadian Paymaster-General -by various units in settlement -of these charges. During his service in -France General Hughes was awarded the -D.S.O., and was twice mentioned in despatches. -Owing to a reorganization of the -Penitentiary Branch, General Hughes was -forced to return to Canada in the summer of -1918, and was appointed Superintendent of -Penitentiaries in April, 1919. Prominent relatives -of General Hughes, besides Major-General -Sir Sam Hughes, are Major John -Hughes and Dr. James L. Hughes, brothers. -February 5, 1900, General Hughes married -Jessie Williams, daughter of William Macleod, -of Cornwall, Ontario.

G.</span></span> (Ottawa, -Ont.), has been connected with the military -system of Canada since 1905. Except for -rather less than two years—between 1909 -and 1911—his service with it has been continuous, -and he has been intimately concerned -alike with the preparations which -were made for the Great War and with the -staff work at Headquarters during the course -of the war. A Cambridge University man, -he joined the Manchester Regiment in -1882, and served as Subaltern, Adjutant, -Company Commander and Second in Command; -in 1894 he passed the Staff College; -and in 1898 he began a long career on the -Staff. Early in 1899 he went to the War -Office to work in what ultimately became the -Mobilization Section, the organ of the War -Office which had a great deal to do, first, -with the rapid and efficient supply of troops -to South Africa, and afterwards with the -careful preparations which enabled the -regular army to show to such advantage in -France. In the War Office during this period -he served under Colonel (now Lieut.-General) -Sir Percy Lake. In 1904, General Lake -came to Canada to be the first Chief of the -General Staff, and in 1905 he brought Colonel -Gwatkin (who had been serving with his -regiment in South Africa) to Ottawa to -serve as Director of Operations and Staff -Duties—in other words, to be his principal -technical assistant. The reorganization of -the Canadian Militia which followed the -South African War was beginning. In the -years between 1904 and 1914 the Militia -force was remodelled, and a staff system was -founded which proved able to carry through -the work of raising and sending overseas -an army of half a million men. Colonel -Gwatkin’s services were so highly regarded -that the Minister of Militia specially asked -the War Office for an extension of his services, -and he remained in Canada, not for -the regulation three years, but for four. -After a period of staff service in England -his services were again requested by the -Canadian Government, and he came to -Canada early in 1911. At that time the -military authorities of the Empire had become -seriously apprehensive of war with -Germany, and Colonel Gwatkin’s work -largely comprised such measures of organization -for this emergency as were undertaken -in the circumstances. In particular he drew -up complete plans for the raising and despatch -of a contingent to England in the -event of a war in Europe in which Canada -might wish to participate. The plan drawn -up anticipated a large number of the points -which arose when the war actually came. -In November, 1913, he succeeded Major-General -C. J. MacKenzie as Chief of the General -Staff. He was filling this post when the -war came. The work done in the Militia -Department in preparation for such an -eventuality proved of the utmost service. -Cable censorship was established, harbours -were closed, dangerous points were guarded, -the transition from peace to a war which the -general public had not expected was made -with remarkable smoothness. When the -first contingent sailed General Gwatkin was -desired by the Government to stay at Militia -Headquarters to keep the machine working. -During the entire course of the war he performed -enormous labours. To recruit, give -preliminary training to and ship overseas -so large an army meant administrative ability -of a very high order and the discharge of -an immense amount of thankless labour. -He has done his work to the high satisfaction -of the Government of Canada, whose principal -military adviser he has been. It -showed its appreciation of his services by -insisting on retaining him, though the Imperial -Government repeatedly expressed a -desire to recall him for service in Great -Britain or France. The details of his career -are as follows:—Major-General Willoughby -Garnons Gwatkin, C.B., C.M.G., born -August 11, 1859; was appointed Lieutenant -Manchester Regiment May 10, 1882; Adjutant, -Manchester Regiment, April 18, 1888, -to April 17, 1892; Captain, Manchester -Regiment, January 17, 1890; Major, Manchester -Regiment, April 7, 1900; Brevet Lieut.-Colonel, -January 6, 1904; Brevet Colonel -November 20, 1907; Major-General, October -21, 1914.

Under Mayor -Willis’s advice, the town of Whitby was the -first municipality in Ontario to avail itself -of these proposals by extending municipal -support to a hydro-electric radial railway -linking up Toronto with the towns of Whitby, -Markham and Port Perry; and it is expected -that the road when constructed and put in -operation will do much for the entire section -immediately east of Toronto. Another local -enterprise which was in the main due to Mr. -Willis’s progressive spirit was the installing -of a sewerage system, which was essential to -the establishment near the town of Whitby -of a great provincial hospital for the insane, -which, during the war was turned over to the -military authorities, and was the largest -soldiers’ hospital in the Dominion of Canada. -When the plans which Mr. Willis has done -so much to promote are carried out, Whitby -will have a close suburban connection by -electric railway with Toronto, and it is expected -will become an important residential -centre for the wealthier families of that city. -When the late Major Harper, who had formerly -served as police magistrate, passed -away in 1918, the Attorney-General of -Ontario appointed Mr. Willis his successor; -and the choice was applauded not merely -locally, but in wider circles where the activities -of Mr. Willis for the development of -Whitby had rendered his name familiar. -He is recognized as one of the most forceful -and progressive municipal authorities in -Canada. In his younger days he took an -active interest in outdoor sports, such as foot -racing, cricket, baseball, and was secretary -of the Whitby Curling Club for many years, -and took part as skip in many Tankard and -friendly matches. He has been from his -youth a reader, and is one of the best posted -men on general and scientific subjects in his -native town. It has been his policy to -strongly advocate any movement that would -be for the good and uplifting of the people -as a whole; and he has often been heard to -say: “I wish I could do some lasting good for -my fellow man, and leave the world a little -better than I found it. If I can do no permanent -and lasting good, I feel that I have -lived in vain.”</p> - -<hr class='pbk'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='mcinenly'></a></p> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='shortly'></a></p> - -<div class='figcenter'> -<img src='images/shortmcin.jpg' alt='' id='iid-0045' style='width:400px;height:auto;'/> -<p class='caption'><span class='sc'>Orville B.

He -was born on March 31, 1859, at Eganville, -Ont., and is of Irish descent. He was educated -at Iroquois and Morrisburg High -Schools in the St. Lawrence Valley. He early -became identified with journalism, and as -editor and manager of the Brockville “Recorder,” -made it one of the best known -provincial papers in the Dominion. An -earlier newspaper enterprise of his was the -Morrisburg “Herald,” which he successfully -conducted for eleven years; and he was for -a short time associate editor of the Ottawa -“Free Press.” As a young man, Mr. Graham -became identified with the organization of -the Liberal party in his district, and was in -great demand as a platform speaker. Entry -into public life was a logical outcome of his -career as a moulder of public opinion. -During his residence in Morrisburg, Ont., he -was Reeve of the village and a member of -the County Council, and in 1894 the Liberals -nominated him for the riding of Dundas -against no less an opponent than J. P. -Whitney, afterwards Prime Minister of -Ontario. At the general elections for the -Legislature in 1898 he was Liberal candidate -for Brockville, and was more successful, -securing election by a substantial majority. -He at once achieved a prominent position -in the Legislature owing to his wit and skill -as a debater. Those were the days when Mr. -Whitney was making his long and ultimately -successful fight for the overthrow of the Ross -Government, and the former contestants in -the riding of Dundas frequently crossed -swords in debate. At the Legislative -elections in 1902, Mr. Graham was re-elected -for Brockville, though his party suffered -heavy losses elsewhere, and on November 25, -1904, on the resignation of the late Hon. -J. R. Stratton from the post of Provincial -Secretary, he was called to the cabinet as his -successor. At the general elections of the -ensuing winter he was again returned for -Brockville, but the Ross Government, of -which he was a member, was defeated. On -January 25, 1907, the Liberal caucus elected -him leader of His Majesty’s loyal opposition, -but he served in that capacity for only one -session of the Legislature. In August of -1907, Sir Wilfrid Laurier induced him to -abandon the provincial field, and offered him -the portfolio of Railways and Canals in the -Federal cabinet. He was sworn in as a member -of the Privy Council on August 29, and -on September 18, 1907, was elected by acclamation -to the House of Commons for the -Federal riding of Brockville. He continued -as Minister of Railways for four years, and -took an active part in the organization of his -party in Ontario. In September, 1911, the -Laurier administration was defeated at the -polls. Mr. Graham was elected in a by-election -in South Renfrew, and for the next -six years continued to sit in opposition as the -desk-mate of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He did not -seek re-election at the general elections of -1917, but has retained active connection with -the Liberal party, and in many quarters his -name was urged as the fitting successor of -Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the party leadership. -In addition to his journalistic and political -activities, Mr. Graham is widely known in -connection with fraternal insurance organizations. -He was Grand Master of the Ancient -Order of United Workmen for two years, and -for a considerable period a member of the -Finance Committee of that body.

Lieutenant-Colonel Leonard -has had a wide experience in several branches -of his chosen profession of engineering, having -occupied positions of increasing importance -in railroad, hydro-electric, and mining development. -After completing his education -in 1883, he took service with the Canadian -Pacific Railway as instrumentman on surveys -and resident engineer on construction of the -Lake Superior Division. At the outbreak of -the North-West Rebellion in 1885 he was -appointed Staff Officer of Transport, and -served in other capacities during the uprising. -After the Rebellion he re-entered -the service of the Canadian Pacific as engineer -of surveys and construction in Manitoba -and Ontario. From 1886 until 1890, he was -chief engineer of the Cumberland Railway -and Coal Co., in Nova Scotia. 1890-1891 he -was again with the Canadian Pacific Railway -on surveys of important branch lines in -Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. In -1891-92 he was engaged in railway contracting. -In 1892-93 he was in charge of the -construction of the first hydro-electric development -at Niagara Falls, Ont., for -the Park and River Railway Co. In -1893-94 he was engineer-in-charge of railway -surveys for the Canadian Pacific Railway. -From 1895 until 1899 he was chief engineer -and manager of construction of the St. -Lawrence and Adirondack Railway, and of -the Montreal and Ottawa Short Line (C.P.R.) -respectively, and consulting engineer for the -Canadian Rutland Railway. His next step -was again in the field of mining engineering, -being engaged as engineer with the Lake -Superior Corporation in developing their iron -and nickel mines in the Sudbury and Michipicoten -districts. In 1900, he returned to -railroading as chief engineer and manager of -construction of the Cape Breton Railway. -From 1902 to 1904, he was engineer in charge -of the construction of a hydro-electric plant -at DeCew Falls, near St. Catharines, for the -Hamilton Cataract Power Co., and in 1905-06 -he was engaged in similar work at Kakabeka -Falls, near Fort William, for the Kaministiquia -Power Co. In 1905, when silver was -first discovered in Northern Ontario, Colonel -Leonard was one of the first prospectors in -the Cobalt district and staked the Buffalo -mine, and in the following year he acquired -a controlling interest in the Coniagas mine, -and promoted the Coniagas Mines, Ltd., of -which he is President. This mine has been -one of the largest and most consistent producers -of silver ore in the rich Cobalt district, -and during its ten years of operation has -produced 25,000,000 ounces of silver, and is -still one of the few silver-producing mines of -Canada. In 1908 a subsidiary company—the -Coniagas Reduction Co., Ltd., was formed -primarily for the purpose of treating ore from -the Coniagas mine, but a large custom trade -has also been developed in the smelting and -reduction of cobalt ores for the production -of silver and lesser products. In 1911, -Lieutenant-Colonel Leonard was selected by -the Dominion Government for the position -of Chairman of the National Transcontinental -Railway Commission at Ottawa, -with jurisdiction over the construction of the -Government Railway from Moncton, N.B., -to Winnipeg. This position he occupied, at -much personal sacrifice, until the practical -completion of the railway in 1914. Next -to the mining industry, Colonel Leonard’s -principal interest would appear to lie in the -direction of the steel business, as his name -appears on the directorate of several industries -engaged in the manufacture of steel and steel -products. He has recently promoted the -organization of a new steel company, under -the name of Electric Steel and Engineering -Ltd., which is an amalgamation of several -engineering enterprises in which he is interested, -and whose different lines of manufacture -he found could be co-ordinated to -advantage. He is also a Director of the -Toronto General Trusts Corporation. It -may be said here that he is one of those men -of business who are not content to be Directors -in name only, but who believe in the -principle that a Director should take a part -in the actual direction of the enterprises -with which he permits his name to become -identified, and in conformity with this rule -he has consistently declined to accept office -as Director of commercial enterprises when -he felt he was not in a position to give the -necessary time and attention to the affairs -of the business. Colonel Leonard has -always taken a keen interest in the welfare -and advancement of the engineering profession, -and is an active member and past -vice-president of the Canadian Society of -Civil Engineers and the Canadian Mining -Institute; President Engineering Institute of -Canada, 1919-20. He has always been the -friend of the young engineer, and ever ready to -lend a hand in helping him along the road to success. -He is also a past corresponding member -of the Council of the Institute of Mining and -Metallurgy, London, England, and a member -of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. -Member Institution of Civil Engineers, -London, England. In spite of his -many business activities, he finds time -to devote to educational interests, and -is a close student of all questions -involving the well-being and good government -of the State. He is a true Imperialist -and advocate of closer unity between the -component parts of the Empire; and any -movement which promises to assist in attaining -this end has his moral and financial support. -He is a member of the Board of Governors -of the University of Toronto; the Kingston -School of Mining; Wycliffe College, Toronto; -and Ridley College, St. Catharines, Ont. -He has recently established scholarships -under “The Leonard Foundation” in several -of these Institutions to assist in the education -and support of sons of clergymen, -school teachers and officers and men of the -Canadian and Imperial army and navy who -require assistance in order to complete their -education. His other benefactions are widely -distributed and unheralded, and it is safe to -say that few appeals on behalf of deserving -objects are made to him in vain. A characteristic -which strikes one forcibly is his -ability to quickly analyse and grasp the -essentials of things, and this faculty enables -him to get through a large amount of work -in a limited time, and also to readily appreciate -the merits or demerits of things, -whether in business, politics or the various -public movements with which he may be -asked to become identified.

He was born at -the city of Quebec on October 30, 1865, the -son of the late George Maclean Rose and his -wife, Margaret Levack Manson, both natives -of Caithness, Scotland. Sir Oliver Mowat, -the famous Liberal statesman, who was for -nearly a quarter of a century Prime Minister -of Ontario, and held other very important -public offices, was a cousin of the late Mrs. -Rose. The subject of this sketch was -educated at the Model School and the -Wellesley School, Toronto, and later took a -course at the Ontario Agricultural College, -Guelph, with a view to embarking in a -career of scientific agriculture, a project -subsequently abandoned. He began his -business career with the Williams, Greene -& Rome Company, Ltd., manufacturers of -men’s wear at Kitchener (then Berlin), Ont., -and became secretary and a director of the -company. Severing connection with the -enterprise, he went to New York, and -was engaged in business there for ten -years, returning to Canada in 1902 to join -the Hunter-Rose Company, established many -years previously by his father. He acted as -secretary of the company for two years, and -in 1904 became President and Manager, the -position he holds to-day. The Hunter-Rose -Company is one of the historic commercial -concerns of Canada. Its founder, the late -George Maclean Rose, was a native of Wick, -Caithness, who, as a young man in Scotland -acquired complete familiarity with every -phase of the printing and publishing business. -In the middle fifties he came to -Canada, and settled in Montreal, but in -1857 went to London, Ont., and in company -with the late Hamilton Hunter established -the printing firm of Hunter & Rose. This -partnership was, however, short-lived, and -in 1859, Mr. Rose joined forces with the -late Samuel Thompson, of Toronto, who had -received the contract to execute the printing -for the parliament of Canada. This necessitated -removal to Quebec, at that time capital -of Canada. It shortly became necessary -for Mr. Thompson to retire from business, -and to carry on the work of government -printing Mr. Rose formed the firm of Hunter-Rose -& Company, in the ancient capital, -taking into partnership Robert Hunter, -a practical accountant. The completion -of the parliament buildings at Ottawa -in 1865 and the establishment of the -government there, necessitated removal -to that city, which remained the headquarters -of the firm for several years. Confederation, -in the meantime, having become -an established fact, Hon. John Sandfield -Macdonald, the first Premier of Ontario, induced -Mr. Rose to establish a branch in -Toronto, to take charge of the provincial -printing. In 1871, Mr. Rose came to -Toronto to reside permanently, and since -that time the name Hunter-Rose & Company -has been identified with the commercial life -of Toronto. In 1877, Mr. Robert Hunter -died, and Mr. Rose became sole proprietor. -The firm was incorporated under its present -name in 1895. Government printing ceased -to be the staple of its business many years -ago, and book publishing became a very -important part of its activities. From its -plant have been issued many reprints of the -leading authors of the past and present -century. Incidentally, it may be mentioned -that the first volume of “Representative -Canadians,” edited by the late George Maclean -Rose, was published in 1886. The -present head of the company, who has carried -on the historic traditions of the firm, is a -member of the Canadian Manufacturers -Association and of the Toronto Board of -Trade. As a young man, he took a deep -interest in military matters, and was a -Lieutenant in the 48th Highlanders of -Toronto, when that regiment was first -established. He was also a lacrosse enthusiast, -and played with the old Ontarios of -Toronto and the Crescents of Brooklyn, -N.Y. His present recreation is golf, and he -is a member of the Ontario Club, the Simcoe -Club, the Lakeview Golf Club, and the -Ontario Jockey Club.

C. Blair, Inspector of -Customs, Ottawa, and Grace Ewart Blair. -He received his education in the common -schools of Truro, and was a commercial -traveller when he enlisted at Saskatoon as a -private on the outbreak of the war. He -was married early in 1916 to Dulcie, daughter -of Captain Brooks of the Indian Army, and -Mrs. Brooks, and is survived by one son, -James K. Blair, whom he never saw. After -enlisting, he trained with the 28th Battalion -in Winnipeg, and on receiving a commission -in February, 1915, joined the 46th Battalion -at Moose Jaw, and left for England with a -draft from the battalion in July, 1915. He -qualified at Hythe as a musketry instructor, -and was attached in that capacity to the -32nd Reserve Battalion, where he served for -one year. He went to France on August -2, 1916, where he joined the 2nd Canadian -Entrenching Battalion, and then went to his -old battalion the 28th. The following extract -from a letter written by the Commanding -officer of the 28th is a tribute to Lieutenant -Blair’s military abilities:—“Poor Jimmie -Blair never had a chance to do more than -show he had the grit to stick the worst the -Boche could do. He joined us when we -were on our way south, and fitted easily into -the very happy family our mess then was. -He did what he had to do well, and gave -entire satisfaction. As our Battalion was -then in a high state of efficiency, that is a -good recommendation to any officer. In the -big attack of September 15, we only took in -half our officers, and Lieutenant Blair was -left out, so he did not get the chance which -two of the officers of his company got, and -which resulted in the award to them of the -M.C. We went in again on September 24-25, -and Blair’s platoon was in the centre, and -was subjected to very severe shelling during -all of which he carried himself coolly and -bravely, and came through in good shape. -After a couple of days back we went in again -on another sector to hold. Blair’s company -was in Kenora trench, just where it joins -Regina trench, of which so much has been -said in the papers. This was really a communication -trench, but had to be held on -account of the command it gave us for future -operations. It was, however, badly enfiladed, -and we had practically all our casualties -there. The battalion we relieved had -just captured it, and it was subjected to a -good deal of shell fire, and it was during one -of these poor Blair was killed by a small -shell which landed in the bay in which he -was posted. I gave orders that his body be -brought out for burial, but a heavy rain and -resulting mud, together with the exhausted -condition of our men, made this impossible. -He was, therefore, given a soldier’s grave near -where he fell, and on ground which should be -considered sacred to Canadians, as many of -our officers and men had fallen, and have -fallen since, before Regina trench was finally -captured. He died, therefore, as so many -have, just ”holding the line,“ nothing -spectacular; just a matter of duty well and -bravely done under very trying circumstances. -He gave promise of doing -well, but he was not given the opportunity -which the real attack gives. His -people, however, will have the satisfaction of -knowing that he did his duty well, bore -himself bravely in the face of fire, and died -like a soldier.” Another officer friend. -Captain Quinan, writes:—“I well remember -Jim when he left England for France, as full -of spirits as old Allan Richardson before him, -who, too, has been killed. Jim was full of -life, and only asked for a chance to help to -avenge his chum. He will, I assure you, -always remain in my memory as ‘Jim,’ a -very fine and gallant gentleman.” He was a -Presbyterian and a Liberal Conservative. -Lieutenant Blair was very proud of the -Canadians, and in a letter to his parents, said;—“The -Canadians have no black marks -against them, and do not intend to have.” -He had a high reputation both as an instructor -and as a soldier. One of Lieutenant -Blair’s ancestors, Captain William Blair, -fought at the siege of Louisburg in 1745, and -his father joined the militia.</p> - -<hr class='tbk611'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='bell1'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Bell, Clarence A.

The son of a -farmer, he was educated at the local schools -and soon developed great capacity as a -student, and decided to put himself through -for the legal profession, graduating from Osgoode -Hall, Toronto. He was called to the -Bar in 1890, and commenced the practice of -law as a barrister at Sarnia, Ont., eventually -becoming head of the firm of H. Le Sueur and -McKinley of that place, and was created a -K.C. in 1908. He soon became active with -the Conservative party, and in 1896 became -the candidate of that party for the House of -Commons in West Lambton against the late -Justice Lister, and was defeated. His party -still had confidence in him, and in 1900 he -was again nominated for the Federal House -and again defeated, West Lambton always -having been a great Liberal stronghold. Two -years later, in 1902, Mr. Whitney, then -leader of the Opposition in Ontario, in looking -for a strong man to help him in Western -Ontario, prevailed upon Mr. Hanna to run -for the Provincial Legislature and undertake -the work of organizing Western Ontario. He -accepted, made an amazing turnover in -that portion of the Liberal stamping grounds, -was elected, and came to Toronto in 1905. -When the Conservative government came -into power, Mr. Whitney invited him to -become one of his cabinet, and he chose the -portfolio of Provincial Secretary, as in this -position his duties would neither come in -contact or conflict with the position he held -as chief legal adviser to the largest oil corporation -in Canada. His public life was -free from reproach of mixing up private interests -and friendships with his public duties, -and as a legal practitioner an extraordinary -fact is recorded of him: that while representing -one of the most important corporations in -the country, no case he had to handle ever -went into court; he had a singular and commendable -theory that it was the duty of a -lawyer to keep his clients out of court. -He was elected again to the Ontario Legislature -in 1908 and 1911, and appointed a member -of the Inter-Provincial Conference held -at Ottawa in 1910. His desire for a rest and -to complete his great work in connection with -his pet hobby of prison reform led him to -decline a portfolio when the Hearst government -was formed, although he remained in -the cabinet as minister without portfolio; and -in connection with his services as a public -servant in Ontario, it may be said that, -though not a prohibitionist by conviction, he -was the most efficient administrator of the -liquor license system that this country has -ever known. He created the machinery for -the administration of the prohibition law, -which has proved as effective as was possible. -His natural taste for politics did not die out -on his retirement from office, and he became -one of Sir Robert Borden’s most trusted -private advisers on public policy. He perfected -a system of prison reform which, perhaps, -is the most sensible and humane prison -system in the world; in fact, his ten years or -more of service given to the Province of -Ontario as administrator of its public charities, -its license laws, its prisons, asylums, and -other institutions, constitute a record so -progressive and enlightened that the full -value of his services will long continue to -be recognized by sociologists with a habit -for research. In 1917, Sir Robert Borden -induced him to accept the post of Food -Controller of Canada; and Mr. Hanna at -once applied himself to the task of organizing -that department, making his single aim the -increase of production and the conserving of -foodstuffs in order to ensure a steady supply -to the soldiers in the field and the civilian -populations of Britain, France and Italy. -He encountered great difficulties owing to -the misapprehension of the public, which -demanded a reduction of prices, a measure -that, by increasing consumption, would have -defeated the above-named object. He however, -refused to be moved by popular clamor, -and in co-operation with Mr. H. H. Hoover -rendered great service toward relieving the -overseas populations of the danger of starvation. -His exertions told on his physique, -and early in 1918 he resigned this office, leaving -it well organized for his successor. On the -retirement of Mr. Walter C. Teagle from the -post of President of the Imperial Oil Company -to become President of the Standard Oil -Company of New Jersey, Mr. Hanna was -elected his successor. In that capacity, he, -in December, 1918, introduced the Industrial -Relationship plan in all the plants of the -Company from coast to coast, and also a -series of sickness, death and insurance benefits -for workmen. Grief at the death of his only -son, Flight-Lieutenant Neil Hanna, who was -killed by accident in Italy in November, 1918, -a few days after the signing of the armistice, -undermined his health, and on March 20, -1919, he died suddenly while on a vacation -in Georgia. When he was borne to his last -resting-place at Sarnia, his funeral was attended -by public men from all parts of Canada -and many sections of the United States. The -late Mr. Hanna was twice married: first to -Jean J. Neil, who died in 1891, leaving one -son, the late Neil Hanna; and secondly to -Maud McAdams, by whom he had two daughters. -In religion he was a Methodist, and a -member of many important clubs and philanthropic -organizations.</p> - -<hr class='tbk637'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='gale2'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Gale, Robert Henry</span></span>, one of the leading -public men of Vancouver, of which city he -has been a resident for nearly a decade, is -a native of the city of Quebec.

Less than five years ago he entered -municipal politics, and was elected -alderman for 1916 and 1917. His services -during his comparatively brief term on the -City Council made him so widely popular -that his friends urged him to run for Mayor -in 1918. He accepted the nomination, and -in January of that year was elected over the -retiring mayor, Mr. Malcolm McBeath, who -had sought re-election, by a majority of 300, -the largest ever given to a mayoralty aspirant -in the history of Vancouver. In January, -1919, he was re-elected by acclamation, it -being generally conceded that it would be -futile for any rival to contest the office with -him. In April of 1919, the provincial government -of which Hon. John Oliver is the head -appointed him to the newly-created office -of Public Utilities Commissioner for British -Columbia. By the tax-paying public, the -appointment was considered an admirable -one, because of the high capacity Mr. Gale -had revealed as a municipal administrator. -The Great War Veterans’ Association, however, -made a vigorous protest on the ground -that all new offices within the gift of the -government should go to returned soldiers. -The Oliver administration deemed it necessary -to yield to the agitation, and cancelled the -appointment of Mr. Gale, accepting the -nominee of the G.W.V.A., Lieutenant-Colonel -Retallick, a civil engineer by profession, who -had rendered excellent service overseas. -Under the circumstances, the cancellation of -the appointment was in no sense a reflection -on the character or capacity of Mr. Gale. -In politics the latter is a Liberal, but has -never sought election as a political candidate. -During the general strike that was started -in Vancouver during the early summer of -1919 as an outgrowth of a general strike at -Winnipeg and other Western towns, Mr. -Gale showed great tact and firmness in handling -a very difficult situation, so that the -attempt to disorganize municipal government -and upset the present economic system was of -comparatively brief duration.</p> - -<hr class='tbk638'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='elso'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Elson, John <a id='melbourne'></a>Melbourne</span></span> (St. Catharines, -Ont.), was born in Byron, Ont., Dec. 25th, -1880.

He has been especially identified with -the history of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, -of which institution he was a trusted -officer for over forty years. He was born at -Dundas, Ont., on September 30, 1851, the -son of William and Alison (Sanderson) Gill, -both his parents being of Scottish Border -origin. He was educated at Upper Canada -College, Toronto, and entered the service of -the Bank of Commerce at the age of -nineteen. This was in 1870, and the Bank -was but three years old. In its expansion -during the next few years Mr. Gill actively -participated; his promotions were rapid, and -in 1874 he was appointed manager of the Galt, -Ont., branch. In 1876 he was transferred -to the Ottawa branch, which was regarded as -one of the most important in the Bank of -Commerce chain of agencies. In 1880 he -was appointed an Inspector of the Bank and -retained that position until 1887 when he -was appointed Manager of the Ottawa -branch, which had attained a very important -position in the financial life of the capital. -Under his regime it attained a wide expansion -of business and he continued to direct its -affairs until 1911, when he retired on pension -after forty-one years’ service. During his -career with the Bank of Commerce he -proved himself not only a practical banker -with a complete understanding of the -needs of the business community, but an -able thinker and essayist on financial questions. -Among his publications was one on -the subject of Post Office Savings Banks reprinted -in the “Canadian Banker’s Journal” -for the use of the United States Currency -Commission. Since his retirement from active -business he has lent his services and influence -to the promotion of patriotic and other -objects of public welfare, and during the late -war was Vice-President of the Executive of -the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Patriotic -Fund. He is also a Life Governor and Vice-President -of St. Luke’s Hospital in that -city, and in June, 1916, was appointed -a member of the Military Hospitals -Commission.

At an early age he joined the 29th -Battalion, and responded to the call to arms -for the Fenian raid. When the first Riel -rebellion broke out he joined the Red River -Expedition under General Sir Garnet Wolseley -(afterwards British Commander-in-Chief -Earl Wolseley), serving as a sergeant. On -returning he rejoined the 29th Battalion as -sergeant-major. In his later teens and -early twenties he had quite a local -reputation as a fine lacrosse player and fast -runner. He had always been a great -reader and taken an interest in politics, -and in 1873 left the woollen business to become -a reporter on the Guelph “Herald,” -soon after being engaged as editor of the -Orangeville “Sun.” He next edited the -Stratford “Herald,” then the Guelph -“Herald.” In 1878 he came to Toronto -as editor and joint publisher of “The -National,” making it an ardent advocate -of the national policy, which the -late Sir John A. Macdonald had adopted -as his platform after having been urgently -pressed to do so by a deputation consisting -of the late Hon. Isaac Buchannan of Hamilton -the late William Wallace, M.P. for Simcoe, -the late John Maclean (father of W. F. -Maclean, M.P. of the “World”), the late -Thomas Cowan of Galt, the late W. H. Fraser -and Mr. Wright. During the election campaign, -he wrote many articles in the “National” -that were extensively quoted by the -Conservative press. Shortly after his return -to power, Sir John A. Macdonald wrote Mr. -Wright a letter in his own hand, in which he -said:—“I wish to thank you most sincerely -for your splendid work in the campaign which -has just ended so satisfactorily. Your -speeches and writings did more, I believe, -than anything else to convert the people to -protection. I only had the good fortune -to hear you once—in the amphitheatre—but -I was then struck with your wonderful -grasp of the question and the extraordinary -fund of information you possessed, and no -less struck with the admirable way in which -you marshalled your facts and presented -your arguments. I hope to be able to express -my gratitude to you in a more substantial -way, and will be delighted if you -will give me an opportunity to do so.” Mr. -Wright returned to Guelph in 1879 as editor -and joint publisher of the “Herald.” The -proposed Government agreement for the -building of the Canadian Pacific Railway did -not meet with Mr. Wright’s approval, and, -as the “Herald” had always been a Conservative -paper, he gave up his interest in it, and -wrote a series of articles published in the -“Mercury,” advocating its being built and -owned by the Government and paid for by -a national currency—not notes or promises -to pay, but bills of different denominations, -reading “Legal tender for all debts, public -and private.” He called a meeting to explain -his plan in Guelph city hall, which -was packed. At the conclusion of his address -he moved a resolution calling on the Government -to adopt the plan. On sitting down, -the late Mr. Donald Guthrie—father of Hon. -Hugh Guthrie, and at that time member of -the legislature—arose and said that he had -attended for the purpose of opposing the -scheme, but Mr. Wright’s explanation had so -clearly demonstrated its feasibility and incalculable -value that he was converted to it, -and had much pleasure in seconding the -resolution. On those in favour being asked -to raise their hands, the audience, with the -exception of one man, rose to their feet and -cheered for several minutes. In thanking the -audience for their almost unanimous endorsation -of this plan, Mr. Wright declared -that the one exception was an unlooked-for -further compliment. For his independent -thought and action the “Mail” undertook -to read Mr. Wright “out of the -party.” Sir John A. Macdonald wrote Mr. -Wright, repudiating its assumed authority, -recognized his right to personal opinion, -good standing as a Conservative, and assured -him of his personal friendship, and continuing -said: “I have read a report of your speech -at Guelph, and, while I am sorry you saw -occasion to make it, I confess I was struck -with the plan you outline for the building -of the railway. Possibly, under different -conditions it might be practicable, but -do not think it could be carried out now.” -His ideas, however, were over a generation in -advance of the people’s desire for public -ownership, and, as a consequence private -capitalists draw some $40,000,000 in bond -interest and dividends yearly, besides adding -large sums to reserve, which the people pay; -while the people are out a huge land and money -bonus, have neither the national railway nor -a national currency, but instead a huge -octopus of capitalists that dominates our -legislation and is an ever-watchful and valiant -defender of “vested rights”—whether rightly -or wrongly obtained. Mr. Wright was invited -to speak at the convention of the U.S. -Greenbackers in Chicago in 1880, and accepted, -as well as during the subsequent -campaign. He returned to Toronto in 1881, -and became editorial writer on the “World.” -The following year he became Secretary of -the Canadian Manufacturers Association, -continuing till 1886, when, owing to the lines -of cleavage between capital and labor becoming -marked, he resigned and established -the “Labor Reformer,” the first paper in -Canada to advocate public ownership and a -workmen’s compensation act. While secretary -of the Canadian Manufacturers Association -he drafted a factory act which he urged -the Dominion Government to pass, providing -equal protection and conditions to the -workers in all provinces, as well as for manufacturers -against unequal labor conditions. -This the Government failed to adopt. The -draft, however, was made the basis of the -Factory Act passed by the Ontario Government -shortly after; but this, of course, could -give no protection to the Ontario manufacturer -(and indirectly to the workers as -well) against the longer hours and lower labor -conditions obtaining in the Province of -Quebec. In 1886, he was appointed Dominion -Government agent for the Antwerp and -the Indian and Colonial Exhibitions, and -acted as one of four commissioners representing -Canada in London at the latter. In -1887, he represented Toronto District -Assembly at the General Assembly of the -Knights of Labor, and was the first Canadian -elected member of the General Executive -Board, and immediately after was appointed -editor of the “Journal of the Knights of -Labor,” Philadelphia, official organ of the -order, continuing to hold both positions till -1892, when he removed to New York as -editor of “The Craftsman.” In 1896, he was -appointed by the Laurier Government special -commissioner to investigate and report on -the sweating system in Canada, and was -subsequently asked by that Government to -investigate and report on the Japanese -difficulties in British Columbia, but was unable -to accept. From 1898 to 1904, he was -organizer of the Conservative party in Ontario, -engaging in three campaigns, being in -charge of the campaign that resulted in -Sir James Whitney becoming Premier. For -a number of years he was president of the -Canadian Public Ownership League, which -did valuable work in educating the public as -to the advantages of the idea now so firmly -rooted in the Province of Ontario. He was -a candidate for the Ontario Legislature in -West Toronto, on the public ownership platform -in 1908, but was defeated in the three-cornered -contest. In 1910-11, he spent -about eight months in Britain writing and -speaking in the interest of Imperial preferential -trade. On the Ontario Government in -1914 constituting a commission to put in -operation the Workmen’s Compensation Act, -Mr. Wright was appointed Vice-Chairman -of the Board, his appointment said to be -the last in which Sir James Whitney took any -personal interest. The appointment met -with the unanimous approval of organized -labor. During the recruiting campaign, -Mr. Wright took a very active and -effective part in speaking throughout the -city and elsewhere. He married, January -26, 1876, Elizabeth R., eldest daughter -of the late Robert Simpson, at that -time of Guelph, but formerly and -latterly of Toronto. Mrs. Wright died in -1913. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. -W. E. Hunter of Toronto, a grandson and -granddaughter, and a brother, Daniel W., -of Cashmere, Washington, U.S. For some -time he had been troubled with blood pressure -and in September, 1918, sustained a slight -stroke at his place in Niagara-on-the-Lake, -where he delighted in birds, flowers, and fruit, -in the cultivation of which he was well versed. -In April he had a severe attack of neuritis, -which, together with heart trouble, resulted -in his death, June 12, 1919, at his home, 105 -Macdonnell Avenue, Toronto. Of him, -Dr. James L. Hughes wrote: “A. W. -Wright was a vitally progressive force -in Canada for half a century. He was -a true democrat who recognized the right of -women as well as men to freedom. Few -men of his time so fully represented and so -powerfully expressed justice and consideration -for others as the basis of brotherhood. -He was a charming comrade, a faithful friend, -and an eloquent orator. All who knew him -were better for his influence. No man could -think a mean or base thought in his presence.” -In a touching letter to Mrs. Hunter from -Washington, D.C., T. V. Powderly, formerly -General Master Workman of the Knights of -Labor, wrote, in answer to a notification of -Mr. Wright’s death:—“It was withheld from -me until this morning; for a good reason, I -suppose. . . .

He courted interruption, for no -one could get the better of him in a clash of -wits.” In a review of his career, “Saturday -Night” spoke of him as “a man of remarkable -intellectual powers and charming -personality,” and of his youth, “he made a -hobby of economics and by the time he was -thirty was recognized as one of the ablest -writers and speakers on such subjects in this -country.” When nickel was discovered -in Ontario he urged on the government -to establish a customs smelter to treat -it, to sell at cost to actual users of it -in Canada, and to place a heavy export duty -on it, thereby giving Canadians a great -advantage in manufacturing high-grade machinery -of nickel steel, thus greatly stimulating -industry here, and assuring Canada -millions of dollars annually from export duty -on nickel which outsiders must have at any -cost. Instead of this a foreign concern was -given a practical monopoly to refine Canadian -nickel in the U.S. with the right to sell to -Germany or any other enemy of Canada -and the empire. Both as writer and -speaker he was keenly analytical, logical, -and constructive in his chosen style, but -in dealing with an unfair opponent he -was equally at home in using forceful denunciation, -bitter irony, scorching sarcasm, -or ludicrous burlesque, while in flashing and -apt repartee he was unrivalled. He was -widely read in prose and poetry, and, possessing -a remarkable memory and facile power of -expression, was a charming conversationalist, -usually the centre of a group of appreciative -auditors in any informal gathering.

He was immediately appointed a -house surgeon of Toronto General Hospital, -serving for one year; and from 1892 to 1900 -was Demonstrator in Pathology on the -University of Toronto Medical Faculty. -From 1894 to 1898 he was Assistant Surgeon -at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, and from -1898 to 1900, Surgeon. Among other professional -offices he filled were those of Lecturer -in Comparative Physiology at the -Ontario Veterinary College, 1898-1908; Director -of the Laboratory of the Provincial -Board of Health, Ontario, 1900-1918; Associate -Professor of Pathology, University of -Toronto, 1900-09, and Professor of Hygiene -at the same institution, 1909-1918. A year -before the outbreak of the great war he had -become identified with the Canadian Army -Medical Corps and held the commission of -D.A.D.M.S. (Sanitation) for the 2nd Canadian -Divisional Area, from 1913 to 1915. -In that capacity he had much to do with -preserving the health of large bodies of troops -who were placed in training in that area after -the outbreak of the war in 1914. In the -spring of 1915 he went to England on staff -of No. 4 Can. Gen. Hospital, was made -officer in charge of Sanitation, 2nd Canadian -Division whilst in England, and -in the latter part of that year was transferred -to France as O.C. of the Sanitary -Section of the 1st Canadian Division. In -1916 he became Chief Adviser in Sanitation -with the Canadian Army Corps in France, -and later in the same year was seconded to the -Imperial forces as D.A.D.M.S. (Sanitation) -with the 2nd British Army in France. From -1916 to 1918 he was also Consultant in -Sanitation with the Canadian Overseas -Forces, England. The low percentage of -deaths from communicable disease in the -British and Canadian armies during the -war, was regarded as miraculous when compared -with the statistics of all past wars, and -to this desirable condition, which greatly -aided in the victory, Lieut.-Col. Amyot is -considered as having largely contributed. -He was twice mentioned in despatches for -service under fire while in France in 1916, -and three times won similar recognition for -his zeal in combatting disease among the -troops in England. In recognition of his -abilities he was personally decorated with -the C.M.G. by His Majesty. In July, 1919, -he was appointed by the administration -of Sir Robert Borden, Deputy Minister of -the newly created Department of Public -Health, and entrusted with the work of -organizing it on modern lines. Col. Amyot’s -writings include various papers on questions -of public health published in Canada and the -United States. He has also collaborated on -Technical commissions in connection with the -United States and Canadian Public Health -Associations, and the Ontario and Canadian -Medical Associations. He is also a co-director -of the International Waterways Commission, -and in that capacity has conducted -investigations on the pollution of the waters -of the Great Lakes. He is a Roman Catholic -in religion and a member of the Toronto -Board of Trade, the University and Canadian -Clubs, Toronto, and the Faculty Union of -Toronto University. On May 21, 1895, he -married Mary J. Keller, daughter of Francis -and Mary (Stuart) Keller, Whitby, Ont., -and has five sons and two daughters, John -Francis, Gregory Féré, William Keller, -Joseph, Mary, Francis and Sophie. His -residence is at Slater St., Ottawa.</p> - -<hr class='tbk654'/> - -<p class='pindent'><a id='owen'></a><span class='bold'><span style='font-size:larger'>Owens, Edward W.

He became a student-at-law -in the office of Cronyn and Greenlees, -of London, and shortly after passing the bar -removed to Toronto, where he joined the -firm of Leys, Reid and Owens, the head of -the firm being the late John Leys, Q.C., -M.P.P.

He was born at Portland, -Leeds County, Ont., on February 5, 1859, the -son of John and Margaret Donovan. His -grandfather was a native of Tipperary, -Ireland, who adopted the profession of law, -and coming to Canada settled at Forfar, -Leeds County, where he became the first -legal practitioner in that district. His father -was a mechanic and ship’s carpenter. The -subject of this sketch was educated at the -public and high schools of Athens, Ont., and -afterward taught school for a number of -years. Subsequently, he entered the life -insurance business, and became one of the -most successful writers of policies in America. -In the early nineties, he represented the Sun -Life Assurance Company of Canada in Great -Britain for two years, and subsequently -returned to this country to associate himself -with the Mutual Life Insurance Company of -New York, the oldest Company of its kind -in America. He was appointed Superintendent -of Agencies for the Maritime Provinces, -with headquarters at Halifax, and -subsequently moved to Toronto as Superintendent -for Ontario. In 1905 he became -manager for this province, a position he still -holds. He has become largely identified -with the financial interests of the province, -and is one of the greatest authorities on life -insurance as an investment proposition in -this or any other country. The sum total -of the policies he has written would run into -millions, and many of them have reached large -sums like $100,000 or $200,000. After -moving to Toronto, he still maintained a -home at Athens, Ont., where he became -largely interested in agriculture, and at one -time owned farm property in the Brockville -district. It was because of his loyal attachment -to the county of his birth that in 1905 -the Conservatives of Brockville riding -tendered him the nomination for the Legislature -in opposition to the sitting member, -Hon. George P. Graham, at that time a -member of the Ross Government. Though -his party was successful at the polls, Mr. -Donovan was unable to overcome the personal -following of Mr. Graham in the -Brockville district. Subsequently, in 1907, -when Mr. Graham retired from the Ontario -Legislature to join the Laurier cabinet at -Ottawa, Mr. Donovan was again nominated -and at a by-election in October, 1907, was -successful in redeeming the riding by a large -majority. His victory was the more signal, -inasmuch as Brockville had sent a Liberal -member to the Legislature at every election -for many years, and was regarded as impregnable -by that party. Though on each -occasion strongly opposed, Mr. Donovan was -again elected by large majorities at the -general elections of 1908, 1911 and 1914. -From the occasion of his first speech in the -Ontario Legislature, he has been recognized -as an important factor in the deliberations of -that body, his fine oratorical gifts being as -marked as the sound intellectual quality -of his deliverances. On many occasions -regret has been expressed that Mr. Donovan’s -business interests have precluded his accepting -cabinet preferment. During the late war -he turned his abilities as a speaker to patriotic -uses, and is credited with having recruited -more men for the Canadian army than any -other member of either the House of Commons -or the various legislatures of this country. -His efforts covered the entire province of -Ontario, and in the year 1915 he individually -secured the enlistment of 1,260 soldiers. -Personally, he is popular with men of all -shades of opinion, and is a member of the -Albany Club, Toronto, the Brockville Club, -and the Canadian Club, Toronto, and of the -Executive of the Empire Club of Canada. -In religion he is a Methodist, and is a member -of the A.F. and A.M. and the I.O.O.F. -He married Ella B., daughter of Duncan -Fisher, and has two sons, Albert Edward -and John Alexander, and one daughter, -Helen M.

He -was born in Albany, N.Y., on October 7, -1842, the son of Henry and Eliza Crannell. -His father was a prominent lumberman -of the ante-bellum period in New York -State, and the subject of this sketch -was educated in the public schools of Albany, -with a view to taking up the same line of -activity. At the time he attained manhood, -Ottawa was, as now, a centre of the -lumbering industry. Coming to Canada many -years ago, Mr. Crannell became associated -with the business now known as the Bronson -Company, Limited, ground wood pulp and -lumber manufacturers, Ottawa, of which -he is still an active partner. This company -is the offspring of an old lumber firm established -at Bytown (the early name of Ottawa) -in 1852 by J. J. Harris and Henry Franklin -Bronson, both of whom came from the United -States to operate newly-acquired timber -limits. Mr. Harris retired in 1864, and for -over forty years thereafter the business was -carried on under the name of the Bronson -and Weston Lumber Company, until the -present title was adopted. Mr. Crannell -threw himself heart and soul into the aspirations -of the young Canadian nation, and -became a naturalized citizen in 1875. His -interests have expanded with the times, and -now include California as well as the Ottawa -Valley. A good many years ago, foreseeing -the growth of the redwood industry on the -Pacific Coast, he acquired timber properties -there, and twelve years ago the Little River -Redwood Company, of Budwinkie, California, -commenced manufacturing operations. -Of this company Mr. Crannell is President, -and other members of the Bronson firm -directors and shareholders. By this industry -Budwinkie has been turned into a happy and -flourishing industrial centre. Direct railroad -connections with the mills have been established, -and handsome houses built by the -company for all employees, married or single. -For the latter class, the company operates -a community dining room, at which from 350 -to 400 meals are served daily. It is evidence -of the growing international importance of -the redwood industry that over one-third of -the company’s manufactured product is exported -to other countries, and the demand -both foreign and domestic is constantly growing. -It is a cedar of exquisite quality, and -in its finished condition makes a very -handsome article. The American interests -of Mr. Crannell have not prevented his -playing an important part in public life. -He served as alderman from 1889 to 1892, -and sat on the following municipal committees: -Water Works, Board of Health, -Printing, Fire and Light, and Court of Revision. -When nominated for mayor of that -city in 1896, his requisition paper was signed -by over one thousand ratepayers, representing -all creeds and classes. His integrity, -energy and independence of thought are -proverbial among those who know him, and -he is generous in his contributions to philanthropic -objects. The benefactions of the -Bronson firm since its earliest days are well -known, and have brought cheer and happiness -to hundreds of poor homes at Christmas time -and during hard winters. Mr. Crannell has -been an especially good friend to the Orphans’ -Home, the Old Men’s Home, and, indeed, all -hospitals and charitable institutions in -Ottawa owe much to his generosity and -initiative. He has twice been married: on -the first occasion on November 11, 1863, to -Julia A. Woolcott, and secondly, on January -26, 1876 to Gertrude E., daughter of the late -Henry F. Bronson, of Ottawa. He has three -sons, Edward Wilber, Alfred Raymond, and -Levi Wilfrid, and two adopted daughters, -Edith L. and Jennie G. Crannell.

In May, -1916, he was passed fit for duty, shortly -after being appointed Staff Captain to -Brigadier-General Lord Brooke’s Brigade in -the newly-formed 4th Canadian Division, -and served under this officer until Lord -Brooke was wounded in September, 1916, -and the 12th Canadian Infantry Brigade -came under the command of Brigadier-General -J.
