Tuesday mornintt, February 18, before the daily newspap- ers of the Dominion, flooded with simi- lar tributes, had reached our town: WILFRID LAURIER—An Apprecia- tion Yesterday afternoon tate news flashed over the wires that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had passed away at his home in Ottawa. It carte as a shock to all Canadians who are interested in the coming session of Parliament. Momentous issues are to be discussed, and the advice of that sa- gacious statesnen would have been of the greatest da th Bates value to Canada. fi Many will be the opinions expresses on the life, career, and character of the Late Sir -Wilfrid Laurier, some by bigot- ed "Tories," some by radical "Grits" but whatever these opinions are, we cannot ignore Use fact that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the greatest Canadian states- man since Sir John A. McDonald. His forme will go down in Canadian History as one of the greatest benefactors the Dominion has ever had. Liberals: fond 'Conservatives will have different opinions. A Liberal will exalt his successtee -and hide his failures, while a Conservative may exaggerate his failures, and belittle his successes. From ilii standpoint of our Dom1' pon Sir Wilfrid Laurier has rendered etg3sal service in uniting the country, increas- ingit's general prosperity, and,•by his sarong. d''eannciation of igraff °, party patronage and many allied evils, he.has won the respect and admiration of even his greatest:' political -enemies. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was a great im- perialist and has done much to solidify the Empire by Adopting imperial pre- ference and by revealing the true spirit of the Dominion in his various speeches delivered' Ln. the Motherland. it was his firm, conviction that an empire is stronger• when based' on the affections .cf the'various component parts rather than out any imperial parliament or cab- inet. Quebec has been the stumbling - block rn. Sir Wilfrid's career. Sine has been, instrumental in relienatitrg the af- fections of ar k eat many people from this great statesman. But when we con Sider- the probtent with which he was faced and the manner in which he solved them, we cannot help admiring his sagacity rout wisdom. He may have made mistakes but he lois had his suc- cesses and he succeeded in doing what no, other statesman could have done. Ills epponenls never tried to aid him in unfEy'iug Cttnada; on the contrary they have greatly hindered him; Whether a stun be it Liberal or a Con nervitive, a Roman Catholic or a Pro- testant, he cannot find a Not an the hang and i'flustriottg career r r Sir Wil- frid Laurier. us 01 rity, 11e has ;alwaaleysavis ola ,eyetad hei ;tics dict - of his conscience. and whether -it Bas in. the Hour of victory or of de- feat, Ite firstly believed his principles to be right and true. There are no scandals with which the name of Laur- ier may be connected. 11e always car- ried out his elections in a clean and fair maturer. Whether it was .an the Press or On the public platform, or in the House of Commons, Sir Wilfrid Laurier has always advocated tate principles of government by the people and for the peopte, Sir Wilfrid Laurier ttas left a gap wlticft it will be difficult to fill. He has pleyed a very prominent part in the public affairs of Canada for the last 25 years, Itis principles may not have been the stupe as oars„ nevertheless we must respect. his principles. ile may not nitrite's have dote what we thought was in the best interests of the country but when we think of what he actually has done for the country, his failures seem to vanish.
