the
past forty-four years, took place on

of respect was paid his memory for
the services he bad rendered his com-

drawn during the hours of the service

Church, of which he was one of the

many a tear trickled silently down faces
in choir and Sudltoriu.m and gallery

C3ODERICH SIGNAL
The death of Me. W. H. Kerr, the
veteran editor of The 'Brussels Post,
is the cause of keen regret among his
brethren of the press. Mr. Kerr, be-
sides being a. good newspaperman, had
a kindly quality which won for hint
snore than an ordinary degree of af-
fection. ` lie wall be sadly missed . in
the !gatherings of Huron county pub-
lishers, in• which he had always taken
a helpful part.
STRATFORD BEACON -HERALD
The County of Uiuron has lost one
of its outstanding men in W. H, Kerr,
editor and proprietor of the Brussels
Post. He took a leading part in muni.
cipal and county affairs, and he was a
driving force in all welfare work. What
Mr. 'Kerr's attitude was toward any
question was a good enough lead for
Most of his fellow -men.
Forty-four years is -a 'Jong time to
be associated with one newspaper.
Such was Mr. Kerr's control of the
Brussels Post, and although he was a
stalwart Liberal, he never allowed his
private views to color the pages of his
newspaper. He was one of those men
who take a broad, view of :their respon-
sibilities in owning a newspaper. He,
recognized the fact that ,proprietorshla
of a newspaper was to a large extent
a public trust, .carrying with fit an- db.
ligation to give equal opportunity of
expression for all shades of opinion
in its columns. For that ,reason. the
Brussels Post always commanded the
respect and confidence of its readers
and a high ,prestige among ,week!
journals. The public scarcely realires
the hard work (and faithful' service

Ottawas—A merry tilt between
members from Western Canada, over
the 'right of the recent offshoot from
the Progressive party to representation
on the Special Committee named lo
deal with the Government's proposal to
obtain control of ocean freight rates
was one of the enlivening features of
the week in the House of Commons.
Another was the rather startling
speech of Miss MacPhail in which she
related her experiencces and her ob-
servations In the Cape Breton strike
region, also the equally sensational
erf
p ormances of William buff,
Liberal
member f
o Lunenburg, N. S., in seek-
ing to show that her statemnts were
exaggerated and that Nova Scotia
would rather take care of its own
poor and destitute. Then as a starter
on Monday there was the announce-
ment of Hon. James A. Robb, Acting
Minister of Finance, that he would
drop the proposed clause to widen the
powers of the 'customs officers in the
administration of the anti-dumping
clause.
Costly Loquaciousness
More than twenty members during
the week took part in the Budget de-
bate which certainly will not be con-
ducted before the Easter recess which
commences April 9th and ends on
April t3. It has already been made
evident that the Conservatives are
determined to prolong this and other
debates so that the session cannot
possibly end before the middle. of June
at the earliest, their purpose being to
prevent the Federal Liberals( from
giving any assistance of any kind in
the provincial general elections to be
held before the end of the present year
in Nova, Scotia, New Brunswick and
Saskatchewan. On 'the other hand,
the Liberals and Progressives, as well,
are as determined to eliminate need-
less debate and save both time and
money fur the people of -Canada. They
are also resolute in their purpose 'f
making the Conservatives alone re-
sponsible for waste of time and money.
Anti -Dumping Clause Dropped
A considerable surprise to business
interests -throughout the country was
the announcement on Monday after-
noon by Hon. James A. Robb, Acting
Minister of Finance, that the resolu-
tion contained in his Budget speech
providing for a change in the anti-
dumping provision Would later be
dropped when the House came to deal
with the fiscal proposals. Before this
ecified
proposed
customs collectore there s the s (methodby .
t the
valuationdutiable
hof they uadtticleearrive Ryy the
change proposed In his Budget speech
Mr. Robb would have left the whole
matter of valuation wtthi
nhe
t power
'and discretion customs he f officers,
and It even extended to goods not
otherwise dutiable. In the early stages
of the Budget debate .there was lively
opposition to this proposal from the
Progressive members. 1t is known
that the poposal itself had been hast-
ilyprepared and submitted to the De-
partment of Finance when the prepar-
ation of.the Budget speech was almost
competed and that when Mr. Robb
after his speech, had fuller opportun-
ity to observe the 'passible effect of
this great widening of the powers of
the Ceshoms lCalledtors he promptly
decided to drop it. As a result of
his announcement the Progressives are
greatly elated, and a highly satisfactory
Majority for the Budget proposals is
assured when the House votes on the
question about two weeks hence.
A Family Row
The first ,really animated day of the
present session Ca 'Ad on Tuesday when
a faasi'ly row eiavetoped'betweent Prog-
ressive party and the "Thirteen" woo
recently formed themselves (no a new
group with W. C, Crood('Brant)'astheir
leader In the House. The cause of the
trouble was the absence of Any re-
presentation for the "Thirteen' on
the special committee named by the
House to deal with the Government's
proposed agreement with Sir }Valiant
Petersen to get control of ocean freight
rates. After some warm exchanges,
especially between. Robert Forke,
leader of the Progressives, R. 'H. Hal-
bert (North Ontario) and Mr. Good,
two members of the Progressive party
who were proposed tor the Comm.ttee,
;Mr. Halbert and Harry Leader (Port-
age La Prairie) offered to vacate their
places to make way for a member of
the "Thirteen". The offer of Mr.
Leafier w
as , secs ted and•
the e ex
n t day
the Prime Minister announced that .lir.
Leader's place on the !Committee
would be taken by Joseph T. Shaw
(West Calgary).
Speeches of the Week
important contributions to the Bud-
get debate were made during the weex
by two members of the Cabinet.' -Hon.
Charles Stewart, Minister of the ln-
ter:or, and Hon. Dr. James H. King,
Minister of Public Works (Kootenay,
B. Co) , Both of these ministers de-
livered excellent speeches, the best
from either in two or three sessions.
While both were subjected to consider-
able interruption bath from the Con-
servatives and the Progressives they
made guud headway and firstly estab-
lished points they sought to snake. To
Dr. King must be credited one of the
neatest retorts of the session, Hon.
H. H. Stevens (Centre Vancouver),
one of the 'Conservative speakers who
took part in the debate earlier in the
week, spoke rather boastfully of the
fine response which had met his ui-
teranees fa Great Britain dart summer.
Dr. King reminded .lir. Stevens the;
the latter had probably confused re-
sponse with courtesy.
Hon. Mr. Stewart, in his speech, de-
voted considerable time in refuting
Conservative arguments calculated to
show that Canada's position, financ`aily
and commercially, was very bad and
that the future offered no bright pro-
mise unless rthe Conservatives were
returned ru power. His concluding
words were:—"I have pointed out to
Hon. gentlemen opposite that the pic-
ture they have painted is not the pic-
ture that should be .painted of Can-
adian industry or agriculture, but rath-
er that we in Canada are suffering only
in common with the United States and
Great Britain and the continent; that
we are going through exactly the sante
experience. I wish to point out the
fallacy that Hon. gentlemen hold up
to the House and country, that a
change in the tariff, high protection,
will be the panacea and cure for all
our ills. Upon that statement I rest
content, leavingit to the judgment
of the country and of this House,"
No Sectional Appeals •
Hon. Dr. King denied the Conserv-
ative stories that in his visit last Fall
to Western Canada the Prime Minister
delivered speeches different from, what
he delivered in the East. He told of
a newspaper man who had accompanied
the Prime :Minister through the West-
ern provinces and who also went to
Toronto to report the great meeting
in Massey Hall, Dr, King said the
reporter told him that after the meet-
ing he simply wired to his Vancouver
paper that the Prime Minister delivered
the same speech in Toronto that he
had made in the West and that thele
was no need of wiring a report of it
again. '9 believe", said Dr. King in
conclusion, "the 'people are desirous
that the Government should proceed
in an even and proper manner with
the .lousiness of the country, 1 ani
satisfied that there exists throughout
Canada fo-day a general opinion among
the people that the affairs of the
country are being properly administer -
ad, particularly having regard to the
difficulties which the Government have
to confront and to the conditions
which have been prevailing."
