The Late Premier Repre-

ITH the passing of Hon.
Sir James Pliny Whitney,
R CrM.G., Canada loses
one of her strongest citi-
zens. Throughout the Do-
minion, and particularly In Ontario
few personalities have proven so
attractive to the public mind as that
of the lawyer from Morrisburg who
dominated the spirit of legislation in
the banner province of the Confed-
eration. He was essentially an Eng-
fish 'gentleman of the old Tory
Strain, and his rugged honesty .and
fearlessness, as well as the brusque
definite tone of his utterance, were
almost a fetich in the households of
the province for nearly nine years.
Of the value of his public service
even his moat vigorous opponents
expressed no doubt. He did not
move quickly, but everybody admit-
ted that when he did move the ad-
vance was permanent and the reform
came to stay. The conservative
British principle of refusing to legis-
late simply because an anomaly ex-
isted, but only passing a law when
a need for it existed, was his watch-
word, and his replies to members of
bis own party as well as to those of.
the opposing forces who would speed
up the machinery, as he thought un-
duly, were uncompromising and
fearless.
Deputations however strong. failed
to inspire him with awe', and his de-
cisions were proof against the at-
tacks of political organizations.
HIS WATCHWORD.
Early in his administration be
took for his watchword, "We stand
upon the impregnable foundation re-
presented by the rights and powers
of the people of Ontario through the
Legislature and we tear no attacks
from any quarter," and to this he
adhered until the day of his death.
He exercised the prerogative of a
general and when, after conclave
with his advisers, he saw fit to order
a general advance of his forces heJ
did so.
The story of his work as a politi-
cal leader is best told in the story
of his life, for the two were identi-
cal. Fie lived in his work, and no
leader of a Government in Canada
has ever given himself up more
completely to his task than did Sir
Janes Whitney. 'He never gave one
of his supporters a harder task than
he took himself and no servant of

SIR JAMES WHITNEY.
He led in labor as did in legisla-
tive and executive action.
James Pliny Whitney was born in
Williamsburg, • in Dundas .County;
Ontario, a few miles from Morrie on Feb. 7th and in the apportion-
;•ala nroke out we nna nim nulaing
a responsible position with the mili-
tia in Dundas. Finally ho came to
be lieutenant -colonel.
iIIS START IN POLITICS.
Politics also occupied him to a con-
siderable extent during this period,
and his natural strength of individu-
ality made him a prominent figure
in the Conservative councils of Dun-
das riding. When. in 1886, he made
his first appearance as candidate for
the Legislature he went down to de-
feat. Two years later his opponent
was unseated, and in the bye -election
which followed J. P. Whitney was
elected to represent the constituency.
From his very first appearance in the
Ontario House his ability was recog-
nized and he soon became known as
a trenchant and forceful debater.
From that time until the present he
has been returned to 1118 seat in the
Assembly without serious opposition.
When G. F. Marter retired from
the leadership of the Opposition in
1896 Mr. Whitney was chosen by the
party to• succeed him, and there en-
sued nine years of hard, ungrateful
work as generalissimo of the minor- ,
ity. His greatest ambition was for
purity in elections and in two conse-
cutive sessions he introduced a mea-
sure providing imprisonment as the
penalty for bribery. He clung so
tenaciously tg his proposals that, lit-
tle as a Government relishes taking
its cue from the Opposition, the ad-
ministration could not but recognize.

ed the spirit of it, in reform legisla-
tion.
BECOMES PREMIER.
In 1905 the Ross Government went
to the country and was@defeated, leav-
ing James Pliny Whitney master of
the field. There had been those some
years before who declared that the
member for Dundas would never be
Premier, but the nine years in .Oppo-
altion had proven tbe mettle of the
Conservative chief. A. Conservative
rally was held in the Queen's .Hotel"

later he relinquished the Attorney -
Generalship, and appointed J. T. Foy
to the position, retaining for himself
the office of President of the Council.
For all the dispute which rages
every' year at session time, nobody
will deny that the work of the Wliit-
ney regime has been notable. The
outstanding advance which Sir James
fostered under the more particular
guidance of Hon: Adam Beck, was
the Hydro -Electric policy, which has
been inaugurated, furthered and ac-
complished in the past nine years,

It was he who gave steadiness and

carried them out, and most people
in Ontario know how much his point
of view and personality were felt in
the Government.
The decoration of knighthood was
conferred on the late Premier at the
time of the Quebec Tercentenary in
connection with the visit of the
Prince of Wales. A little over a year

James and he was made Knight Com-

ANGLICAN BY RELIGION.
In: religion, Sir James was an An-
glican and took an active part at one
time in the work of the church. On
Cihi 1 d r en C r y two occasions he was delegate to the
FOR FLETCHER'S general synod of the church in Can-
ada and to the diocesan sgrnad of

He held three honorary university;
degrees. In 1902 the Senate of the'
University! of Toronto made him at
Doctor of Laws; in the same year
Trinity conferred the degree of Doc-'
for of Common Law. and Queen's,
honored him with a Doctorate of
Laws.
In later years his official duties
gave him little time for club life, but
he appears on the membership of the
Toronto Club, the Albany' Club and
the Royal Canadian Yacht Club.
sm GAMES IN THE HOUSE.
To none more than to the stranger
in the House was the figure of the
Prime Minister one of ceaseless ia-
terest. Brusque in manner, even
peremptory, his movements were al-
ways quick and direct. Rarely, too,
did he sit at repose. When not busi-
ly driving a pen or perusing docs;
meats, kis favorite attitude was to
sit with his chair slightly turned
from the Opposition to gain a tul11
view of the House. But he did not.
sit still long, as a rule.
Coining suddenly to his feet, he,
would check the misstatement of an
opponent grown bold in his oratory,

FIRE BLIGHT RAVAGES.
Wisconsin Orchards Are Suffering

One of the worst epidemics of fire
blight that ever visited Wisconsin is
gaining headway throughout many
sections of the state this season, ac-

of Agriculture.
The presence of the disease is :first
!indicated by the dying back of the
leaves, which turn reddish •or daril

The disease is caused by bacteria
which gain entrance to the plant tis•
sues through the fiowers or by means
of wounds on the surface, particularly
those made by insects. ' The method
of the development of the disease is
such that spraying cannot control it.
The only way of fighting the .trouble is
the removal of infected parts.
These are usually removed once or
twice during the season—once in sum-
mer and again In the fall before the
leaves are frosted: Mr. Moore states
that it is not advisable to leave the
infected parts on the trees until the
annual spring pruning, as it is then
difficult to detect .as infected twigs.'
In cutting out the blight it is advisable
to goat least four to six inches below
any signs of the disease and burn all
