Laurier and Our Merchant Marine.
A powerful condemnation of the late
Laurier Government is found in an of-
ficial Blue Book just issued by the De-
partment of Marine and Fisheries.
In simple figures it tells the story of
the ruinous decline of our merchant
marine under fifteen years of Liberal
rule,
Time was wllen the Canadian Ensign
was to be Been upon every sea, and its
presence proclaimed the largest, fast-
est, and finest ships, Way back in the
good old days of Sir John Macdonald,
when the nation was scarcely out of its
swaddling clothes, the Canadian flag
covered a tonnage of 1,800,000. Our
sailors were Been in every port, and
we challenged the supremacy upon the
seas of the greatest of MarintineStates.
With what pride does the Canadian
school boy scan those figures? And,
how eagerly doee he turn to the next
decade. hoping to see his country's
marine, the greatest in all the world?
DECLINED IN ELEVEN 'YEARS TO
706,000 TONS
Alas for those who pinned their faith
in Laurier and Conadian Liberalism!
After eleven years of the Laurier
regime --from 1806 to 1907—our marine
tonnage had fallen to 796,000. Think of
it, 0 ye children of Canadian sailors!
Hardly fifteen years after beneficient
Conservative rule had made the sails
of Canadian ships to dot the four seas
of the Universe, the Canadian Ensign
has almost disappeared from the ocean
and more than four•fifthe of our com-
merce is carried by the vessels of other
nations,
For fifteen years Laurier refused to
.raise a hand to aid Canadian ship-
building. He discouraged Canadian
shipbuilders by giving to their foreign
and outside competitors the contracts
for the construction of every vessel
used in the Government service, And
because of petty political considerat-
ions he refused to construct needed
facilities in a number of our bigg,r
porta.. With that lack of vision which
characterized h i s adminetration
throughout, he ,failed to provide for
the national development, and the
Conservatives came into power in
1911, to find—what? That this great
Dominion, with a sea coast of thou-
sands of miles, did not possess a single
dry-dock capable of accommodating a
vessel of even medium tonnage. And
this was the record of the. party that
last year represented itself as the
friend of the Canadian shipbuilder—
the champion of Canadian ships, built
by Canadians, and manned by Canad-
ian seamen.
A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER RAS COME
With the advent to power of Borden
and the constructive party, there has
come a change. In the three years
since 1911 there has been a substantial
increase in the tonnage of our mer-
chant marine. Premier Borden, has
laid down the policy that all ships re-
quired for the Government service,
must be constructed as far as possible
in Canada, In his great speech on the
Naval question last year the Prime
Minister went emphatically and un-
mistakably on record as being favour-
able to the immediate construction of
light cruisers and warships in Canada.
In addition, the Government is pro-
viding great shipping facilities in all
coast cities. A great dry-dock is be
ing constructed at Levis ; another at
Halifax ; another at St, John ; another
at Esquimault ; and another at Mon-
treal.) Shipyards are being establish
ed in all the bigger ports.
The criminal negligence of fifteen
years of feeble administration is being
redeemed. And Canadiai;s may again
look forward to the day when their
Country will have regained the proud
position she held under Conservative
rule in the past, among the Maritime
nations of the world.•.
A essay They Have In England.
For some reason or other the ser-

they could leo'.t after their daughter.
She received a prompt reply:

The Men Who Are Governing
Canada,.
Jobs Stanfield, Ali, P., wet govern.
went Whip,
John Stanfield, chief Government
Whip, will always be known In Ottawa
as the than who broke the "solid
eighteen," The solid phalanx of Lib-
eral members which Hon. W. S. Field•
ing had led to Ottawa year after year
from Nova Scotia received its death
blow when the young Conservative
stalwart from sColcbester, in the
fewoue by-election of 1907, was Victore,,
Itwas one of the signs which wa
rightly interpreted as marking the
beginning of the end for the rule • of
the Lanrier Government, And the
same qualities which impressed them-
selves upon the hard -beaded electors
of Colchester county in that famous
fight of 197!7 coop won, in the House
of.Oommons, for John Stanfield the
same eminent place in the esteem of
his fellow members.
John Stanfield is today chief whip
of the Conservative forces in the house
of Commons. That position he was
mimed to after the general election of
1911, when the Coneervative forces
came back victorious from the country
and received the reins of power. He
succeeded in that position lion. George
Perlev, whose fortune it bad been to
lead hie party through what the face-
tious alwa•vs nailed '"the nearly gates."
POSITION NO SINECURE.
The position of chief whip is no eine
cure, whether of Government or Oppo-
sition forces. In the former, in this
case, perhaps, it is the more difficult.
beceesse the large majority held by the
Borden Government was, in the begin•
nine, conducive to carelessness on the
part of Government members, who
imagined that their abstention from a
party division would not have any ap•
preciable effect. But to John. Stan-
field, who is responsible for the attend-
ance of members at important divi-
sions in the House, abstention from,
duty was and is a crime. Today
members have become so well schooled
in their duties in this respect that the
chief Government whip finds that his
precepts and teachings are well ob-
served, and within the last few days
Mr. Stanfield bad what to him must
have been an exquisite pleasure, when
there was rolled up on the first vote in
the 0. N. R, debate the largest major-
ty since the present Government came
into power.
HE HAS ASSISTANTS.
For the marshalling of the party
forces at Ottawa there is provided an
elaborate machinery. It is at the head
of this that the chief whip stands. He
must, through his lieutenants, be in
close touch with the whereabouts of
every member of his party at all times
when the house is in session and when
there is any liklihood of a division
taking place. For this purpose there
are appointed assistant whips for the
various provinces, one for a province
having but a few members, two and
even three for the provinces., which
send a large delegation to Ottawa.
The whole force is en duty in times
when critical questions are being dis-
cussed, and woe betide the lieutenant
who falls down in the duty of having
his men on hand. It is the practical
side of politics that has to be played at
Ottawa if the principles for which the
party stands are to be really carried
out,
DEMANDS SACRIFICE.
This devotion to duty demands nat-
urally considerable sacrifice' from the
chief whip, It is a tribute to the in-
herent principles of Conservatives that
they can attract young men with large
business interests like Mr. Stanfield to
spend six and seven months of the
year in Ottawa, far from their own
work, for the purpose of advancing
the cause of the people. To those who
are continually decrying the decay of
unselfishness in polities, there is be-
fore them the example of men like
Stanfield, who work hard for the sake
of their party and the people at what
must be to them a constant financial
lose, Other men with large business
interests criticize from afar, but take
care not to enter into the party
struggle themselves. Such men can
learn some lessons from many young
men in the Conservative party today
who are imbued with a strong sense
of the greatness of the 'Dominion and
of how they can exert strong influences
for its uplifting and betterment.
The interests of the chief whip are
not alone confined to politics and buei-
ness for he takes a keen interest in the
militia movetnent. Ho is today the
the Honourary Lieutenant Colonel in
the 7th Colchester and pante Rifles, a
regiment that has a record for shoot.
ing and for general efficiency, due in
no small degree to the personal in-
terest which Colonel Stanfield has
taken in their work.

than one occasion since the present
party came into power the leader of
the Opposition has given voice in the
Chamber to his appreciation of the
manner in which the chief Govern

THE GOOD OF THE PARTY,
Mr. Stanfield receives no pay for his
work. He sitilply carries out the task
alloted to him, expecting nothing but
that the good of his party may be fin-
ally sought. In the end to such men
the gode are good, and in a growing
country like Canada, where honour-
able positions in the state are continu-
ally requiring men of the calibre of
the chief Conservative whip, there is
sure to be found a place for the mem-
ber for Colchester, But for the pre-
sent he finds a daily delight in assist-
ing the Borden Government in carry-
ing out the mandates given to them
by the people. And in such a work
he plays no small part, and does it
well.

GLORIOUS HAIR
Girls and women of all ages want to
'be beautiful and attractive, but un-
sightl', thin and lifeless hair destroys
half the beauty of a pretty face,
If your hair is losing its natural
color, is falling out, dull, streaky, full
of dandruff, -too dry, or if the 'snalp
itches and burns do not be alarmed,
use Parisian Sage. Rub it well into
the scalp. It will go right to the hair
roote, nourish them, and etimulate the
hair to grow Iong and beautiful. It
removes dandruff with one application,
stops itching scalp, falling hair and
makes the head feel fine.
Parisian Sage supplies the hair with
what is needed to make it soft, fluffy,
thick and gloriously radiant. It is
sold in fifty cent bottles by J. W. Mc-
Gibbon and at all drug counters.
