On Parliament Hill
By R. J. 1)eachmain, Press Gallery
"The li';hts are out
And ,:'one are all the guests,"
The chilliest of all ,.r'ssiona of Par-
liament Itis passed into history. Vir-
gin members, full of high,hopea and
lofty conceptions of their ewll power
of startling the world, 11000 gone to
their homes --sadder, but more cm
lightened men. Poinpous and purse
proud duffers who sit and smoke and
sometimes only sit have packed up
and departed --the cynic who views
all things as wasted effort will no
longer repeat to the ,/(ember's of
1027 the sad tale of: `"twa; ever
thus and I told you so." Bright
stars, and there were come who flar-
ed upon our vision for r, brief day
are no more, Their light flashed
once. or maybe again
"Then ii7e the 0novwlleke in the

A moment seen and gone forever."
Such is l;:e at the Big House on the
Hill.
It was dull. One wrote .;f l,:_t i
e::_ion 10 terms of war. Always'
there was before the eye; the hell
of battle. One could :-;.;ion the Su-
prente Command, the Board of tits-
tegy. Sniping went on continuously.
You could see the infantry moving t
into position --the rattle 01 machine

his stat -far into the night the 'fierce
battle raged, whtde• 111as11 inlawerod
flash and tawdry politic+tl reputat-
tionswea'e torn to Mitred:. and tatters.
Sometimes the Government was eo
close to defeat that holding the line
was more a demon:cry: t an e_ naa-
shaken valor than • the maintenance
of an important position.

This year it was cl'fferaltt. The
whole ;;cele made one think of crick-
ets chirping in n iustnnt field, of
contented cows chewing tits tooth-
some cud --of the sm"mn hum of
bees and all that careless attitude to
life which calls for monuments to
mental 1lugor and flowery beds of
dalliance and of 01150.

they were going -nothing would

through. Snbjects worthy o care-
ful consideration were ehnxed alone

be scorned im a Parliament by boys.
Thoughtful members er.re disgusted

sion, 3Ir. Cannon had made the ob-
servation that at the onthl'unic of the
war American citizens in many coun-
tries had gone to the British F'mbae-
sites, then followed this eol?ouuy:
Mr. Bennett: "It seems to nue ab-
surd fol• anyone to soy that people
tied to the 'British Ill osay in any
comriry engaged in the war."
3Ir, Cannon: "I never sant nail."
Mr. Bennett: "The Hon gentle -

Mr. Cannon: "My Mei. friend

Mr. Bennett: "I assure my I -Ion.

Some Honorable members: "Oh,

33r. Bennett: "It is perfectly ridi-
enlous for anyone to soy that 1te-
grica 1 citizens Ilea to the British

Mr, Cannon: "I never said that."
111r. Bennett: "That k what the
1-Ionoreble member said."
Some Honorable member.: ".No.,,
Mr. Bennett: "What slid he say?"
lIr, Cannon: "In view of the Flon.
gentleman's state of mind I would
rather not discuss th matt(r with
him now. Perhaps we can consider
it later."
Mr. Bennett: "I ran only arty that
such a remark is perfectly natural to

We have for sale the only motor car mads entirely in Canada,
a product that has held the leadership of all cars during the
past twenty-five years and proved its superiority as an invest.
meat in motorized transportation.
But our business has not been organized for the sole purpose
of selling Ford cars, trucks and tractors. We are here to give
service. Both those who now own a Ford, and those who
are going to buy one, will find that our service facilities and
our service staff are unequalled in this part of the country.
Our investment in this community is large because we are
operating a permanent business. That means you can come
to us with confidence and be sure of honest value and
square dealing.

P.ut there was a solemn side 10 the
session and a fair 111e00017e of aerom-
plishment. Let us sire up the credit„
]trot.
( 1) The Amendment to.ttet 5',Idiera'
Settlement Act providing foe re-
valuatir•n of land sold to soldiers.
(2) lima1 credits.
(3) 010 Age Pension,
(1) Amendments to the Grain Act,

nate the terminal to which his grain

(5) Forward inurement towures the
completion of Hudson i;a; 1 111tvay,

Civil Service.
( 7) Martine. Settlement. (A man
may be pardoned for presenting this
as debit),
(R) The Anne nil meets to the Rules
of the House.
There were many other things of
some importance, these are the tuctj-
or items.
The debits flay be listed a soi-
laws:
(1) Failure to provide for definite
sinking fund to take care of the Na-
tional debt.
(2) Wild expenditures, 'specially in
the larger items, There is always an
effort made to economize in the pur-
chase of paper towels, soap and
drinking cups, but millions of matey
slip away with great celerity.
The Government has been criti-
cized for failure to lower the thrill',
but the judgment ought to b,, -`Out
on suspended sentence, • That. will
conte next year or mortification will
sot in. We can do nothing but aw-
ait events. Then there is on the
part or the Government too much of
a tendency to autocracy. The Gov -
comments will have to broaden down
or Democracia's will flatten out. Tho
average member wants 17 be smut. -
thing more than a rubber stamp,
Thee Western members were dis-
111031g this one day. Om: said "why
is a private member?" and the an-
swer was "God know;," The third
chromed in with the remark- that he
was not coming hack next year, he
would send his Power of Attorney
and the answer was, "Yes they nlieht
mail us our intlemnityy .01111out ask-
ing us to come down." As wet have
remarked on a pr'e'vious occasion,
the •march of the human mind is
slow and revolt conies only after
long agitation. The private member
must have more influence, That is
the message of the Parliament of
the 00th year of Confederation.

scheme of penalties, Hi pointed out
that subs could be juniDr players who
would he thus brought .long for sen-
ior company, a thing that is now lack-
ing owing to the leek o' junior
clubs.
L. W. Appel stated that 11? was not
talking rebellion, but he thought that
if the D. F. A. refused to listen to the
suggestions in September that the W.
F. A. would either have to eat adrift
from the 1), P. A, and 0. P. A. or go
out of existence.
Strong objection v'as 1111")] by
several dfleg'atfs to Die preeent pen-
alty system of soccer which provides
for a 101)11 being sent ell for the en-
tire game only when al penalty is war-
ranted. Owen Sound, Hanover and
Kitchener delegates oppose=; staving
subs,, stating that condition was a
factor in the game and that it is di-
fficult to get 11 good mels without
}netting 13.
Secretary'Muir's ststemet:t that 90
per cent. of the penalties handed out
to soccer were due to the clumsiness
or lack of 113111ty on tha part of the
111011 penalized, Wal 111et with a chorus
of "No, no's!' while P. V. Smith, of
Listowel, stated that ie$ per cent, of
penalties were due to the rasdal117 of
their opponents.
When the vote was tasen it was 2
to 1 in favor of asking the D. 1+. A.
to give associations power to legislate
for themselves at these tvvo matters.
The secretary -treasurer's report
showed that there 1,7e1.0 -10 teams in
the association last year composed of
eight seniors, 21 intermediates, six
juniors and five Hough cup clubs, and
they played a total of 152 games,
with the respective winners being
Hespelcr, Kitchener, Walkerton and
Listowel. The receipts during the
year were 41,854,32, and the balance
Is 4312.80, This was a 860 d&crease
from the preceding year owing to the
1n1p1•oductivencss of the play-offs.
Last year there was some difficulty
in regard to the transferring of
players and protests developed which
were handled by the. 0. F. A. Offi-
cials of the latter body to -day point-
ed out that according to soccer rules
there could be no transferring of
players from the senior to the in-
termediate series. As this involved
protests on the part of Walkerton
the latter club was given back its
protests fees in connection with pro-
tests disallowed by the W, F. A.
but subsequently all allowed on ap-
peal fly the 0. F. A, The eloeing
date for entries was ant at May '2.
To date 20 teams have entered the
association, 15 of which are in the
senior -intermediate division, four. in
the junior and one in the Bough
cup,
