LAI RIER THE MAN.
The country is filled with the sense of
Cie great Ins that it has sustained in the
death of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The press
has published columns of appreciative
comment on his life and work; the pulpit
has delivered its eulogies; Parliament and
other public bodies from the Atlantic to.
the Pacific have paid their tributes. They
have spoken of his silver-tlmgued oratory.
of his s.tccass as a political leader, of his
breadth of view and prudence of counsel.
of his passionate love of country. of his
eminent services to Canada as Prime
Minister for fifteen years -and in all
these things Laurier Nas great --but in all
the refrrencss that are made to him that
which touches the hearer or reader most
deeply ani truly is the tribute to Laurier
as a man.
The knightly character, sans peur et
sans reproche, was even and rec +Beiized
from the very beginning of his career as is
political leader. but perhaps few knew
what a grip it had upon their hearts until.
first, the chieftain's defeat in 1911, and,
again. in the hour of his death. Many a
Liberal who fought hard and earnestly
for reciprocity in the campaign of 1911
found himself after the contest at the
poll
of the
fate
about the
•
k
ss concerned
reciprocity issue than about "how the old
man would take it." And the hearts of
his followers grew warm within theta
when the west chief -great in defeat as in
victory -refused to be downcast or bitter'
but came back smilingly to the fray with
undiminished courage and new hope for
the future. When the news of his death
flashed over the country. one of the first
th nights in many minds, we are sure,
was, "If he could only have lived to be
Premier again. even if only for a day'."
Not only his voice. his face. his figure,
but his very name seemed to be in fitting
with the knightly charact r. To one who
knew Laurier as his political leader from
boyhood days, the name Wilfrid Laur.er
seemed to shine out with a grace and
brightness from the printed page. and
even when the "Sir" was added a demo-
cratic mind could find no fault with a
titk that fitted so well the name and the The political cynic says it is lust ' a flash

THE LiBERAL LEADERSHIP.
before normal conditions can be estab-
,ished in thew countries, and there will be
a reflex influence that will tend to unrest
and uncertainty in other lands. Perhaps
our own country, with its strikes and
rumors of strikes. is but reflecting the
disturbances of the old world.
In connection with the organization of
the Board of Trade at Ridgetown the
suggestion was made that the newspaper
men bre- excluded from all offices in the
organization, the idea being that they
would:thus be freer to offer criticism of
the actions and policy of the Board than
if they were themselves taking an active
part In its proceedings. The Ridgetown
idea is perhaps the right one. What
strikes us forcibly. however. is the (act
that any body of men should so pointedly.
The question of the Liberal leadership
at Ottawa is under discussion. The
name of Mr. Fielding, who was Minister
of Finance throughout the period of the
Laurier Administration. has been brought
forward prominently. and probably car'
ties more weight at the present time than
that of any other possible choice. Mr.
Fielding was defeated in his Nova Scotia
constituency' in 1911 and was not in the
last Parliament, and therefore had no part
in the proceedings of the session of 1,
1917 which developed such a cleavage in
the Liberal Parliamentary party. Ile was
elected by acclamation at the general)
election of 1917 as a conscriptionist Lib-
eral, but did not cast in his lot with th'e
Unionists, and in several divisions in the
session of 1915 he voted with Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and the Opposition. Some of the 1
Opposition members. it is understood,
make the objection that his attitude has;
not been "sun -clear," and. in addition,
Mr. Fielding is pretty well advanced in j
years and mitht not be as energetic and 1
aggressive in leadership as a younger man
would be. Others mentioned are George
P. Graham, Mackenzie King and W. M.
Martin, Premier of Saskatchewan. None
of these is in the Dominion Parliament at
the present time, and there we uld be some
delay in procuring a seat for any one of
them. Premier Martin, who, by the way,
i• a Huron old boy (a son of Rev. W. M.
Martin. for many years minister of the
Exeter Presbyterian church). is looked
upon as a strong factor in Western
politics. hut in the Federal field he is un-
tried and inexperienced. At any rate. it
seems to he generally agreed that a per
manent leader will not be chollen by the
Opposition members at Ottawa, but that
the choice shall be left to a convention
representing the whole party throughout
the Drtminien. to be held some time this
year. This isan eminently proper decision
and is evidence of the common sense and
democratic feeling which actuates the
members of the Opposition. The Quebec

1917 „ . . 82.935,2118

March 31st. it is quite probable that the
sales during the present fiscal year will
exceed those of last by over 30 per cent.

the week ending January 11. 1919, sales
