Exciting Runaway A most exciting runaway took place a few days ago, Dick Johnston's horses were tied at the (sack of Alex, Ross' hardware store, Breaking an inch and a half rope with which they were tied, they dashed through the alley and out through Victoria street !tushing westward up Victoria street, they missed a number of vehicles only by a hair's breadth, At the corner of Victoria and Scott streets they came in contract with a telegraph pole, which was badly damaged by the im- pact. The horses were hurled sense- less on the road and the wagon badly damaged, There was no one in the wagon, as the owner was up town at the time of the acoident, Spoilt His Pleasure The young Scot never liked his mother.in-law, and this weighed heav- ily on the mind of his wife who was ill, Calling her husband to her bed side, she said to him; "Sandy, lad, I'm vera and I think I'm about to dee, 'and before Idee, I want you to 'gie mo a promise," "I'll promise," replied ,Sandy, "What is it?" "Weel, I ken that when I dee, I'll bae a fine funeral, and I want you to . ride up in front in a carriage wi' rea mither," =re.

In his youth tl'e present Prince Minister was, line so many other Nova Scotiane, ;su rdtrtlrcr of those Liberal teztete apd prinolples so faithfully interpreted and eloquent- ly proclaimed by Joseph Howe. But when tate rise of Sir Wilfrid Leerier threatened threatened to divert Liberalists from channels which led to closer British. connection, and the policy of unrc- strioted reciprocity with the United States in 1801 bad dampened, the ardor of leading Liberals, among whom was Edward Blake, Robert Lahti J3ordt n turned to the Conservative party re the most formative instrument of British purpose and Canadian national growth. Six years later he appeared as the Conservative candidate in Bali - fax, and his election turned out to be the one blight spot in the disaster which overtook the party in 1800. When in 10Q1 he was chosen leader of the then Opposition the outlook for Conservatism was dark. The party was suffering from lack of cohesion, from disunion, from inexperienced leaderehip and from the lowest ebb of determination and purpose it had known since Confederation. Sir Wil- frid Laurier was then at the zenith of his career, and backed ' with all the prestige of office and the undecided support of a dooile and none too scrup ulous majority, was an antagonist of formidable power, Leadership of the Opposition under such obstacles was a task demanding brains and courage and a perseverance.that would not ad- mit defeat. Sir Robert Borden soon showed that he possessed such quail. ties to an eminent degree. For ten years be pitted courage and steadiness against strategy and numbers, and in the end he won—won, as he had always won, and, etrangely enough on the same old trade iesue that bad brought him into the Conservative party twen• ty years before, The great battle of 1011 was above all else &Borden battle, He had achieved his place in the esteem and confidence of his country- men, had earned the respect and de- votion which will always. come to a clean and fearless fighter battling to preserve his country's highest interest, He fought the reciprocity compact as a leader who cared less for party than for state. He cared lege )about defeat- ing the Laurier Government than be did about killing the "adjunct" agree- ment. It was his good fortune, and the country'P, too, that he triumphed over both. Sir Robert Borden's career as Prime Minister will some day maks a fascin• acing volume of political biography He has had to contend with iesueo and Iabor under difficulties such as never before burdened a Canadian leader, It would be foolish to etre that in grappling with those manifold and increasingly difficult problems the Premier has not made mistakes; for, in the desperate haste and confusion which followed upon the sudden out- break of war mistakes were inevitable, But weighing his mistakes against hie achievements it can be said of him that his•leadeeship has ever been in the right direction, ever toward the goal which the Canadian people hays set for themselves in this war•—that its policies have been the right policies its impulses the right impulses, its motives the right motives, Nothing succeeds like euceess and nothing fails like failure. And some among us, in- spired perhaps by unworthy motives or—tnieled by extenuating ignorance, have been all too prone to minimize the achievements and to emphasize the defects; to set too little value upon the vastness of the problems encoun- tered when appraising the manner in which they were met, Only those who have watched the Prime Minie- ter's untiring devotion to duty, who have dome inside knowledge of the tremendous difHeulties he has had to eontend with, have as yet any ade- quate appreciation of what his leader- ship has meant. But by -and by, when the full truth is known, the Country will take the whole record of his years of war leadership and, setting the suc- cesses against the failures and reckon. ing at its proper value all that was inchaote and tentative and experimen- tal, do justice to the great pail, that he has played in the national effort. Already his wotk has won for him the ungrudging gratitude of the Brit - bin people. His recent Visit to Eng - laud marked the beginning of anew era in the relations of t.1raat Britain and the Qveaaeas f oa lhaloes—an era which British Publicists truly proclaim, Sir Robert Borden was among the first b predict, To -day he stands as a-recog• nited Imperial statesmen. He is not the prophet or the disciple of an im- perialism that necessitates the subvt r - soon Of Canadian rights and Canadian nationality, bit is a believer in the doctrine that the highest future for this Dominion lies within the Empire upon conditions of equal status; one who reverences Britain's past and sees the Empire as an august growth of liberty, widening out from precedent to precedent, but always true to the spirit and the genius of its ancient oat.
