T. McMillan Opposes
Divorce Bill
Thomas McMillan, M. P. fgr South
Huron made an earnest appeal for
home life in moving an amendment
to the hill providing divorce courts
for Ontario. Mir. McMillan spoke
in the following terms:.
“The House views with alarm the
spreading and increasing of di
vorces and divorce applications in
Canada, and instead of providing ad
ditional means of obtaining divorce,
the House should favor the encour
agement and carrying on of a cam
paign of education for the purpose of
impressing on the hearts and minds
of the Canadian people the sacred
ness of the matrimonial tie and the
permanent stability of the Canadian
home.”
M'r. M'ciMillan, in moving his
amendment, said:
“I believe I am voicing the feel
ing of a vast majority of the citizens
in my section of Ontario when I say
that they do not want to encourage
divorce, It may be that in the city
of Toronto there are a great many
people who want to get rid of their
consorts, and we know that in the
vast majority of cases it is for the
purpose only of enabling them to be ,
remarried. I am glad to say that
in all my acquaintaceship with the
people. in my section of the country
I do not know of anyone who is di
vorced, and if there was ever a time
when this Parliament of Canada
should think seriously ere they take
a step such as has been proposed
in this bill, I think the time is now.”
Pl<‘a for Higher Tilings
“Should we not see to it, in tli.e
present age, when there is such a
struggle for wealth, property and
material possessions, that We do not
neglect the higher things, the build
ing up of the home and humanity?

In the ^midst of all its wondrous

that- the fatal weakness of their

with the result that we now read
that over the spurious grandness of

Last year wc added about
14,000 miles of talking chan

system.
Associated apparatus —

been vastly, extended and

And lower rates on calls to
points 75 to 800 miles distant
are now in effect.
Long Distance now gives
you quicker and better com

ever before.
Remitted, bemuffled, highbooted, besmiled, with coat collars
high above their ears, the citizens of this good town were abroad
bright and early Monday morning enjoying to the full the late call
of their friend dear Old Man Winter. Let those of thin blood and
of ’flabby muscle and shaky nerves amuse themselves with such
pastimes as 'tobogganing or skating or skiing or curling or wood
cutting or lumbering, but for pleasure unalloyed .give the hardy
souls of Exeter such and experience as fell to their lot last Monday
morning. To describe the occasion every epithet found in the vo
cabulary of man is said to have been wrought overtime. Fat men
and lean men, longwinded men and shortwinded men, tall men and
short men, all of them were out on their right of way shovelling
drifts or pushing carts into the zone of progress. It may have been,
all right for the big boss to lie in his bed persuading himself that he
was enjoying the performances of his fellow citizens as he noted
their activities through the window or noted their achievements as
he strolled to counting-house or office, but satisfaction unalloyed

man as he smiled and served, broke into song as follows:—
“O happy is the man who hears
The By-law’s warning voice;
And who an iron shovel makes
His early morning choice.”

Strange, isn’t it? But labor may be it’s own worst enemy
when it comes to employment. Take, for an instance, the matter
of baling .binder twine. ‘ In one of our big manufacturing estab

bales. The work was hard and disagreeable. The men protested
accordingly. Philanthropists sympathised with them. It was no
job for men, they urged. One morning the balers were informed
that their services no longer were needed, as

Balfour. He was no smart-stepping, sharp-spoken modern,
stead he was a languid Englishman, an aristocrat to the finger tips,
soft-voiced, an exquisite in his tastes, a fine performer on tire
piano, a fine writer of philosophy, a devotee of golf and a fine con
structive critic on religious subjects* His ojte boast was that no
situation ever bored him. To the.,superficial he had no enthus
iasms. He seemed perfectly willing to let the world have its way
while he allowed himself to be lulled into a quiet restfulness and
contentment with things as they are.
Yet this soft-spoken, languid-spirited Briton in debate worst
ed Gladstone and Joseph Chamberlain when at their best. In a
few minutes with foot on chair or bench and hand on knee with
forefinger drooping as if in utter exhaustion, Balfour would tear
his opponent to tatters and place him before the country a dis
credited public man. This foremost statesman of his day who
seemed so. willing to let things have their way did more to deter
mine the destiny of the Anglo-Saxon race than has been accom
plished by any other man living or dead. 1-Ie was the controlling
force at the Washington Conference. He made the Jewish people
the friends of the Empire. He was the chariot and. horseman of
the Allies'in the 'darkest hour of the Great War. To recite his
exploits is to mention the essential history of Britain for fifty years.
There was nothing dazzlingly brilliant about him, but he had the
happy faculty of pointing the way to the greatest and most impor
tant thing the hour demanded.
Patrician though he was, he proved himself the poor man’s
friend. His last act was to thank the servant who had attended
to his few personal wants. He was among his people as one who
served. England was his life and for her good he poured out his
' spirit to the full measure of dev.otion. Civilization has need of

the expression of his - utter detestation of humbug,
fence. He was among his people as one who served,
his love and for her he gave the full measure of devotion.
Like his life, his passing and his burial were marked by noble
simplicity. Like the gre.at servant he ivas, he was laid in his grave
under the broad and starry sky by those who loved him and who
served him. Well may the Empire mourn him, for many a day
she will not see Iris like.
