Red Two -Cent Stamps.
Several letters were rezeived in
the Post office last week bearing red
two -cent stamps. Ase red two -cent
stamps were supposed to be as ex-
tinct as the dodo, an inquiry was
made at the postoffice about it. No
official word has been received at the
office here, but there lute been inti-
mation given that the color of the
two -cent stamps would be changed
from green to red as i1 was in the
clays "befo' the war."
The Mails During Christmastide.
The postoffice department is urg-
Mg that Christmas mail, be forward-
ed Earlier t ban usual this year.
Christmas day falls upon Saturday,
and unless the mail reaches many
places by Thursday night, ',..hey will
not reach their friends on rural
routes, as there will be no delivery
on Saturday, and Sunday following,
th,us presents would not be delivered
until Monday. In the cities prac-
tically the same condition exists, as
the postmen only make an early de-
livery. Early mailing of Christmas
gifts is sensible any year, but it is
quite necessary this year to ensure
delivery on time. It also greatly
facilitates business at the varmus
post offices.

Compensation Benefits.
Workers in industry under com-
pensation in Ontario enjoy the bene-
fit of very considerable protection.
This has been done without unduly
burdening employers by spreading
the cost of these accidents over the
ind.ustries in the various classes set
up by the Workmen's Compensation
Board. Itis interesting to note that
of the six Provinces in Canada in
which there are Compenntion
Boards, Ontario, being more 'moor -
tent industrially, pays out by far the
largest sum each year. In this Pro-
vince the maximum weekly award
which can be made is $25,334 which
represents two-thirds of the maxi-
mum of $2,000 per annum on which
compensation can be paid under the
Ontario Act. The benefits to injur-
ed workers or their dependente in
Ontario are extremely liberal. In
New York State, for instance, the
maximum award possible is $20 nor
week or more than 20% less than
can be awarded in this Province., al-
though the costs to industry in New
York State are in the main higher
than in Ontario. This is doubtless
due to several factors, one being thc
efficient administration of the Work-
men's Compensation Act by the On-
tario Board and, another the con-
stant campaign against accidents
which is being carried on in a large
percentage of the plants under com-
pensation here. Costs, however. of
five and a' half or six million dollars
per annum, as we have had in On-
tario for the past several years must
continue to focus the attention of
industry on an extension of the acci-
dent prevention work being done.
Making Christmas Sane.
There are two bits of advice which
it is folly to ignore in this season.
The one is, "Do Your Christmas
Shopping Early," and "Send Your
Christmas Mail Early" is the second.
Careless people heed neithee, but if
the, observance of both is proof of
rare wisdom then the world is be-
coming wiser. lt was but a few years
ago that the major portion of Christ-
mas shopping was done during
Christmas week and the Christmas
rush in the mails did not begin until
the eleventh hour. The result was
that unfavorable shopping eonditions
and congested mails ruined Christ -
i0111 Day for countless theusands.
How much saner and how much
more satisfactory for all concerned
are the modern practices of start-
ing the gift -buying season a month.
before Christmas and of starting the
gifts through the mails in ample time
to insure ' their' punctual delivery.

TOURIST TRAVEL TO
OUR NATIONAL PARKS
Increase in Number of Visitors Dur-
ing 1926 -Rocky Mountain Re-
sorts Popular
The 1926 summer season witness-
ed the establishment of new records
in the number of persnns visiting
Canadian National Parks. As the
value and importance of these great I
scenic and recreational reserves be-
come better known to the people of
Canada, the United States and other
parts of the world, each succee '.:ng
season brings a greater influx of visi-
tors.
While this increase has been gen-
eral it has been most noticeable in
the matter of motor tourists. Ad-
vances made in the automobile in-
dustry and in construction of good
roads have brought corresponding act-
vances in the growth of motor travel
until this traffic has become of great
importance -in the development of the
country.
Highways play an important part
in :drawing a large number of the
tourists wbo visit Banff and Kooten-
ay National Piteks,by inoto. Through
the Kananaskie gateway, which is the
eastern entranee to Banff park, and
the Radium Hot Springs gateway,
which is the eastern entrance to
Banff Park, there passes .each year
the greater part of the motor traflia
to the Canadian Parks in the Rock-
i('s.
The volume of travel whieh poured'
into hese two parks by motor is
shown by the registrations. At the
Kananaskis gateway. at the end oil I
October 18,069 motet. cars had been ,
registered as incoming; at, Radium
Hot Springs gateway, 6,503 entries
were recorded, making a total of 24,-
6132 cars entering.' the two parks.
This number shows an inceease of
5,780 over the 18,882 entries record-
ed in 1925,
Waterton Lakes National park, in
southern Alberta on the Tnternation.
al Boundary, drew an innoune of
tourist travel in excess of that re-
corded in 1925. The possibilitiee of
this scenic wonderland are accentu-
ated by the plans for extensive de-
velopment announced in 1926.
The opening, in June, 1926, of the
motor mad Pxt-rision from Lolen
Louise to Field brought !Yoh.)
Nt-
tional Park for the first time into
prominence in the motor tourist
world. The further extension of this
road which will enable Motorists to
proceed through to Golden, is ex-
pected to be opened to travel eerly
in 1927. Traversing Yoha park and
thence leading on to Golden, along
the Columbia river to the junction
with the Banff -Windermere Highway,
this newest motor way opens up a
field which is wonderfully rich in
scenic resources and has hitherto
been unknown except to travellers by
pack. train.
Jasper National park, in the nor-
thern part of Alberta, had a most
euccessful season, nearly 7,000 hotel
registrations having been recorded
prior to the end of October. Thie
great playground is rapidly finding
wider favor with the tourist public
as the steady growth in di.e number
of visitors attests.
The National Buffalo park at
Wainwright, Alberta, drew more vis-
itors than in former years. A very
keen interest is being taken in all
countries, particularly in Canada And.
the United States, in the efforts, of
the Canadian Government to pre-
serve the buffalo and alao in the mt-
periments that are being conducted
at Buffalo park in cross -breeding.
Reports received from the smaller
parks follow those of the larger re-
servations. A larger ninber of per-
sons than in 1925 visited Fort Anne
National Park, Annapolis Royal,
Nova Scotia. The recreatioind re-
serves comprising the St. Lawrence
Islands parks were also very popular
during the summer.

Over in England the "Faller of
t
birthday. In Ottawa on Nov. let the
"Father" of our own House, Mr.
Speaker Lemieux, also fill 0111 .i01.1101^
;WA fuld a similar celebration on at -
tattling the age of 110. -Thirty cif
those yeare-exactly one half of his
life -have been spent in Peril ',meet
When the Sixteenth Parliament of
Canada meets - on December 0111 he
wili re-elected to the same offiee
he has 11.'1(1 in the Fourten th and
Fifteenth Parliaments.
I first saw Rodolphe Lemieug at a
political gathering hi' Gases., Quebec,
away back in '06. As a very young
man he had 'just come from amilemit
triumphs at Ottawa and Laval uni-
versities, and ii! lime:tripes liveliheed
' in law and journalism, to launch out
int() political life, Hf! ellest01 no
env road to success, for Gaspe, in
those far days, was a stronghoki of
the Bleus, E. 3. Flynn, eon of a
Perim fisherman, had risen to be Pre-
mier of Quebec, and Gaspe, proud of
the eminence of her native ism, fol-
lowed hie Con,servative banner with
warm and persistent devotion. More-
over, those were the clays when the
Church flourished its mitre intainet
the Rouges. The Bishops, disecreing
little difference between political and
Catholic Liberalism, marshalled in
solidarray in support of remedial
legislation, and no Liberal candhlate
in '90, appeared 4afe in anv part of
the province.
Lemieux, however, won a dose
victory. Fiery in his eloquence. en-
gaging in personality, a favorite of
the great Laurier himself, he capti-
vated the Gaspe fishermen. It 'wee
among notable Liberal triumphs in
that memorable, historic campa go.
For Moen years thereafter Lem-
ieur's star wa.: steadily !.n tiiasc
dant. Solicitor -General, Mininter of
Labor, Postmaster General, envoy ex-
traordinary to foreign ands, right
band of Laurier in 'Quebec, parlia-
mentary orator -few had achieved
the summit of fame with such seem-
ingly effortless ease. He was the in-
timate of Laurier. Other men had
the "Chief's" ear, but none to the ex-
tent of Lemieux. The two were al-
most constantly together, in the Corn -
mons, on the platform, in Sir Wil-
frid's library, in political campaigns.
And in many ways they were iden-
tical. Both had dabbled in polttical
journalism. They were both stu-
dents of oratory. Both were lovers
of literature.
Lemieux's Liberalism was less ro-
bust than Laurier's. Sir Wilfrid was
often reactionary, but he walked
backwards toward it, while Lemieux,
who would have been a Whig in
England and a Royalist in France,
showed a temperamental affection
for Toryism. He would qnote Bright
and Fox and O'Connell with revels
encs, but in the next breath he
would voice sentiments that would
have quickened the, pulse of Disraeli.
At an orator Mr. Letnieux stood,
and still stands, in the forqront of
his contemporaries. On the plat -
f01111 (where it was my misfortune
once to meet him as an antagonist)
he Is tempestuous, fiery, onreehing
stirring the mob witit his passion,
beating down opposition with a tor-
rential flow of eloquence. In the
House he adopts a more rapiered,
powdered style, charming wir ap-
prating imagery, swaying' I! t'at
choicest rhetoric, captivating aa
artistry of words that enrich »..1itt-
'limitary literature.
Lemieux's greatest triumph on the
platform 11118 when, in the campaign
cf 1911, he met and silencer: Henri
Bourassa. Up to that time the No,
tionalist chieftain, famed as an ora-
tor, was universally feared ,upen the
hustings. When he met Lemieux at
St. Hyacinthe in great open air
"Assemble Contradictoire," fi [leen
thousand people gathered from the
countryside to witness the •luel. Lem-
ieux, that day, achieved a aeignt of
eloquence that he had never before
attained. Long before he had com-
pleted his oration the vast erowd had
been captured for Laurier; and when
toward the end, he pointed his tingca'
at Bourassa and accused hint of jeal-
ousy toward his old leader, of a de-
sire for spite and revenge, of little-
ness in his public character, the Na-
tionalist cause had been put tr. flight
in St. Hyacinthe.
Lemieux's finest oratorical time •
in the COMMOnS NITA his panegyric
on Laurier. For half an hour the
House sat hushed as he spoke with
poignancy and beauty 'of the life and
achievements of his. dead Piglet His
peroration may be here quoted as an
exampleof his style:
"We say farewell and we thank
you, We thank you for tho shining

With the passing of Laurier the
light went out of politics for Lem-
ieux. There was no longer it "white
plume" to follow; and altheugh he
remained in the Comments the tones
of his silver eloquence were but r.s.1-
don1 heard. There were etoriee that
Lemieux could not bring himself to
serve in a cabinet under Mr, King.
It was said that he was tried of the
toil and strife of practical politics;
.11111•••
that he was anxious te retire t hi
111 )1117 and his books A3 to the
truth of these stories, one cermet
tell, but Mr. Lemieux took the
Speakership instead of a post '0 the
Ministry-. What honor could one ask
higher than first Commoner in the
land?
As Speaker, Mr. Lemieux has
been a picturesque figure. Parlia-
ment has seen more learned Speak-
ers, more profound Speakers; It has
st en none more colorful in personal-
ity, or who fitted 'more naturally into
he role. For Lemieux, although 11.•
bee made mistakes (some feNV of
them :seemed inexeusable in it num
of lie gifts) is imbued with the Par-
liamentary tradition; a lover of ar-
chaic ceremony and forms; a student
of House of Commons ritual -the
"Grand Seigneur" in politics.
And to the end he has remained
the journalist. Now, as of old, his
hand leaps lightly to his pen; hie
spare time is spent on a new life of
Laurier; and in the Press Gallery he
is always at home. Public life has
seen few figures with more of chal-
lenging appeal.
