NATURALIZATI.ON LAW
The bringing about of a uniform natur-
alization -law within the confines of the
British Empire is an ideal that Hon 'Mr.
Doherty has long cherished, and that
within a short time now will be realized. ,
There have never been more able pre-,
sentations of this subject in this subject
in the Canadian House of Commons than
those of Judge Doherty year after year,
until, by the united action of legislation in
Canada and else« here throughout British
Dominions, the plan was taken up and
carried through to what will soon be com-
pletion. It is an evidence of the interna-
tional outlook of the Minister of Justice, ,
Penal reform is today a live 'issue in
Canada, as it is in all other civilized coun-
tries. In Canada it has been made even
more prominent than usual by the results
attained in some of the separate provinces,
Ontario, for instance, having gone far
with its prison farm methods: To the
broad question as affecting the whole Do-
minion, the present Minister of justice has,
since he assumed office, given a great
deal of attention and thought. It is recog-
nized that the day is past when alt crimin-
als should be classed in the same way,
There arc "good" criminals and there are
"bad" criminals, meaning that there are
varying degrees of criminality., To the
proper solution of the question of crime
and its varying degrees the Minister of
Justice has been devoting much .of his
time. Last year he travelled" through the
Dominion on the mournful task of an in-
spection of all the penitentiaries where
conditions were examined and the founda
tion for future"legislation was laid.

When Premier Borden formed his first
cabinet after the famous election cf
September 21, 1011, there was no doubt
as to who would be appointed to the
post of Minister of Justice. The choice
of Charles J. Doherty was a foregone
conclusion. Though a private member
of the House for but three years prev-
ious to elevation to office, he had earn-
ed his spurs, and made for himself a
place in Parliament that was in many
respects unique. He had secured the
confidence of his own party associates
by the sanity of his views and excellent
judicial temperament. He had gained
the respect of the Liberal party by his
fairness in debate, so that when the
news of his appointment became known
there was general approval.
Such a reward4seldom falls to the lot
of any man, but the events which have
transpired since show that the confi-
dence which Mr. Borden had in the
member for St. Anne's, Montreat, was
not misplaced. His administration of
the Department of Justice bas been
characterized by sympathy, insight and
reform. The Minister of Justice came
to his new office web equipped for his
duties He had been a judge of the
Superior Court in the Province of Quebec
for five years, from 1891 to 1896, and
when he retired from the bench he com-
menced to build up one of the most
important legal practices in the great
City of Montreal. There his reputation
among business men of all descriptions
always has been of the highest, for he
displayed in all walks of life the great-
est probity of character. The import-
ance of all this is evident when the in.
tricots and delicate workings of the
Justice Department are considered. Day
in and day out there conte before the
minister for Consideration the sins and
failings of humanity all over Canada.
Ile is the final tribunal, and to him
there comes the 'last appeal for mercy
and for help. It is a comforting thing
that at the head of the Justice Depart-
ment there is a man who id possestcd
of in more than an ordinary degree the
elements of human sympathy and of
kindness.
OP STRONG CHARACTER.
But it must trot he forgotten that un-
derneath alt the charm. of manner and
good nature which the Minister of Jus-
tice inherits from his Irish parentage,

H1S PERSONALITY •
Hon. Mr. Doherty has a personality
that makes him much beloved among the
members of the House of Commons. An
industrious worker, he interests Ottawa.
by his rather curious - habit of doing a
large part of his work at night, due, no
doubt, to a habit contracted when a judge
of reviewing evidence at night before giv-
ing his judgment ina case the next morn-
ing. In Ottawa it may also be due to the
fact that the head of a large department
finds his time very much taken up during
the day with those having business avid=
his department, and consequently must
seek the opportunity to do his own work
at an hour when he will not likely be. dis-
tributed.
Hon. Mr. Doherty is really the final
court of resort for alt the other ministers.
In scores of cases in the House, after the
head of another department has carefully
explained a matter of business or announc-
ed a policy, there comes to the front some
legal aspect of the matter which calls for
elucidation and elaboration,• and, without
opportunity for research in most instances,
the Minister of Justice must deliver an
opinion. The call made upon a man in
this respect is extremely heavy, and it is
to the credit of the present minister that
in no case has 'a judgment of this kind;'
rendered even hastily in the House of
Commons, been questioned.
STILL •A YOUNG MAN.
Mr. Doherty is stilt on the sunny side df
sixty, and has had a life crammed with in-
cident and industry. A judge ot the
Superior Court at the age of but thirty-
six, and Minister of Justice for all Canada
exactly twenty years later, he has thus
secured the highest positions in his profes.
sion that any government could give: It
says much for the minister that he has
never allowed himself to become a mere
legal axiom, dry and abstract, but has al-
ways retained his Celtic qualities of kind-
liness and. good humour. He is always
quick in repartee, 'and while eeget to
avoid unnecessary conflict, yet never rune
away when there is a fight. He is univer-
sally recognized today as one of the.
strong men of the Borden Cabinet. .
The country has been fortunate, not.
only in its choice of prime ministers
but also in its choice of the men who
have governed the justice department,
and in the list of those who have filled'
that highly important office in the Gov'
ernment of' the Dominion the name of
Charles J. Doherty Will always 'be
honoured and respected.

Considerable interest is beiug ntani-
fested about town in the sale of liquor
which Provincial Constable proposes
to bold next Saturday, April 4th.
.The liquor wee seized for debt by Mr.
Phippen acting as bailiff eef the divi-
sion court. It is understood that the
defendant's lawyer contends that the
bailiff has no right to disponi of the
liquor without holding a license, but
Mr. Phippeu has consulted the in-
spector .of Division courts at Toronto•
who has advised him to go ahead with
the sale, Unless there are further
developments in the case the sale will
take place as scheduled. There is
seats speculation as to what success
will attend the sate which will be by
public auction. The prospect of bar-
gains in booze it is thought by some,
will be sufficient to attract a large
number of buyers, while by others
'the publicity of the sale, it is considers
ered, will restrain many consumers
who in a quiet way would be ready
buyers.
