On Sunday, August 12, at 2:30
p.m., an historical plaque
commemorating the outstanding
Canadian journalist, Sir John
Stephen Willison, will be unveiled
on the grounds of the Zurich
Community Centre on Main
street, in Zurich. This plaque is
one of a series being erected
throughout the province by the
Historical and Museums Branch,
Ministry of Colleges and
Universities, acting on the advice
of the Archaeological and
Historic Sites Board of Ontario,
Sunday's ceremony is being
arranged and sponsored by the
Zurich village council and Reeve
J. M. Turkheim will act as
programme chairman. Others
expected to take part include:
Mr. J. Hoffman, Reeve of Hay
Township; Mr. A. McKinley,
Reeve of Stanley Township; Mr.
J. K. Riddell, M.P.P. (Huron);
Mr. R. E. McKinley, M.P.
(Huron); and Leslie Gray of
London who will represent the
Archaeological and Historic Sites
Board of Ontario.
The plaque will be unveiled by
Mr. James McAllister, a lifelong
resident of Hay Township, and
will be dedicated by Reverend A.
C. BlaCkwell, Lutheran Pastor of
Zurich, and Father A. Durand of
7.ttrieh
The son of a Htit-on County
farmer, Willison was born near
Hills Green Huron County on
November 9, 1856. In 1881 he
joined the staff of the "London
Advertiser", and two years later
he joined the "Toronto Globe". In
1890 he was appointed chief editor
of this newspaper, regarded by
most at the turn of the century as
the most influential organ of
Liberalism in Canada. In 1902,
however, he resigned from the
"Globe", claiming ,"In fact,
party journalism meant for me
simply a succession of quarrels
and at last I withdrew."
A year earlier (January 29,
1901), he had written to his friend
Clifford Sifton, Minister of the
Interior, resenting "the
assumption of every Liberal
politician that I am his hired man
. . .". He admitted that , . . "I am
a Liberal and the Globe is a
Liberal paper but it seems to me
that under the circumstances a

little more gratitude for what we
do and a little less censure for
what we do not do would be more
becoming."
From 1902 to 1917 he edited the
independent "Toronto Daily
News" and served as well as the
Canadian correspondent for the
London "Times". It may be that
he treasured this connection with
a newspaper he seems to have
viewed as the model of indep-
endent journalism. In an early
message to the readers of the
"News" he insisted:
"The party press has its own
field of service and we cannot
think that a legitimate alliance
with a political organization is by
any means a contemptible
connection. Some of the best
journals in the world maintain
such a connection with self-
respect, dignity and to the
distinct advantage of the people.
Such journals as the New York
"Post" , . , and the "London

Times" serve in another field -
although the "Times" is perhaps
a standing counsel for all ad-
ministrations - and they too
discharge important functions in
the great scheme of popular
respect if it cannot always carry
the judgement of the country."
Despite this striving for in-
dependence, Willison moved
more and more into open support
of the Conservatives. His op-
position to the building of a new
transcontinental railway, his
objection of the provision for
separate schools in the Autonomy
Bills for the creation of the new
provinces of Alberta and
Saskatechewan, and his intense
disapproval of Laurier's coolness
to the idea of Imperial
Federation alienated him from
his erstwhile allies. His
uneasiness at what he regarded
as the unethical practices of
some Ontario Liberal politicians
further underscored this
dissatisfaction. The result was
that in the election of 1911 he
openly supported the Con-
servatives.
Willison was knighted in 1913.
As he saw it the title was con-
ferred on him because ". . it
was desired to honour journalism
in the Dominion and I was
selected as the medium through
which the desire of the Crown
should take effect". His con-
tributions included The Railway
Question in Canada (1897); The
New Canada (1912); Lessons
From the Old World.
His major work, however, was
a sympathetic biography of Sir
Wilfred Laurier entitled Sir
Wilfred Laurier and the Liberal
Party: A Political History, first
published in 1903. In 1925 he
founded "Willison's Monthly", a
national magazine devoted to the
discussion of public affairs af-
fecting Canada and the Empire.
It was edited by his son until it
ceased publication in 1929,
He died on May 27, 1927, in
Toronto. A biographer wrote,
with a great deal of justification:
"There isiscarcely a parallel in
the political annals of Canada to
the silent authority he wielded in
politics, in social legislation and
in constitutional discussions."
The day after his death, the
"Times" wrote:
"A distinguished figure in
Canadian journalism, he was not
only intimately versed in the
changing problems of his native
Dominion, but his adept sense of
the community of British in-
terests throughout the Empire
enabled him to write of Canadian
affairs with a detachment and
