SOUTH HURON LIBERALS
A convention of the Liberals of
South Huron as constituted for Pro-
vincial purposes, will be held in the
Town Hall, Hensall, on Wednesday,
March ath, at one o'clock pan., for
the purpose of selecting a candidate
to contest the riding, in the Liberal
interests at the next provincial elec-
tion. Mr. .1 C. Elliott, M.P.P., of
East Middlesex, a lady speaker and
others will address the meeting. It
is hoped that each polling- sub -division
in the riding, will send a full quota
of delegates.
THE NEW OPPOSITION LEADER
At -a caucus of Liberal Senators and
members of Parliament held in Ottawa
on Monday, Mr. D. D. MacKenzie was
chosen to lead the Opposition uzitil
a national- coovention selects a per-
manant leader for the Liberal party
in succession to the late Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. The new leader. will be
assisted by a committee of which Jas.
A. Robb, the chief Liberal whip will
be chairman. •
Mr. MacKenzie was the deek mate
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier last session
He entered Parliament in 1904, but
had. had experience as a school- cone-
miseioner, as mayor of his home town
of NiartkSydpey, Cape Breton, and ao
a member of the Nova Scotia Legis-
lature before he ,entered the Com-
mons. In 1906 he was appointed- to
a Judgeship, but resigoed tWo years
later to become the Liberal candidate
in Mirth Cape, Breton. He was elect-
ed then and re-elected in 1911 and
1917 an in fact has never been defeat-
ed atthe polls. -
The new leader, unlike the old one,
iii net a picturesque figure. He is a
solid looking, stockily built man of 60
and in Parliameot he has not shone as
an oiator, _but poss•isses a style that
is hitt own, and "a caustie wit and has
always cornnianded the respect a both
sides of the House.
The following is the personell of the
Committee. which will. assist the Op-
position leader: Prince Edward .Is-
land—J. E. Sinclair, Queens. Nova

cher. Alberta—W. la White, Vietoria
Mr. Robb and Mr, MacKenzie are also
members of the committee. -
SIR WILFRID AND AFTER
The unexpected expected was hap-
pening. An aged statesman, well be-
yond the Psalmist's span, was paying
the debt we all owe to nature. The
apoplexy that struek him down, al-
though a painful surprise. was .an ap-
prehended accident of his advanced
years. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had said
hims61f, not more than a fortnight ago
now, his soul's peace made, he was
passing Out and Beyond.
The correspondent scribbled °rapidly
up there in the Press Room, answering
queries from excited managing editors,
sending "flashes," trimming their. big
story into shape. While their hands
were busy with pencil and paper their
ears strained for the telephone. The
Dark Angel -Was at the other end of the
wire. They mist not miss one of his
messages. Sir Wilfrid was dying and
the whole country, through that little
telephone booth in the corner of that
room wailed at 'his bedside. Great
men do not live for themselves alone,
and they must die the same way.
The telephone could not say much.
He was making a good end He was
going out as he had wished to go,—
quickly and without pain. He was
conscious but he could not speak. The
paralysis had robbed him of his vice
but he could press tenderly the hands
of those, who addressed loving words to
him. About noon, there as a distinct
slackening tif the pulse. After that he
faded minute by minute—his heart
feeble r isith every tick of the clock. He
lees se old man --a very old man and
very tired—and his, work was done.
He glided into sleeep and from that
sleep into death. Sir Wilfrid breathed
his last at ten minutes to three in the
afternoon. It was' a day of glorious
sunshine—as clear, bright and strong
as the luminious intelligence which has
just been extinguished.
The talk in the Press Room did not
< centre about the honours and achieve-
ments of his long career. No one,
that I can remember, made that St
pseudo -sage remark—a great page in m
history has been written. What the W
correspondents said was "we have lost int
a friend" That the men who were in wo
daily touch with him, 'who were obliged me
some times, to take sides against him„ die
should suffer no abatement of affection ' fitt
in their long intimacy, is as beautiful a pr
tribute sas any that will be laid on his sp
grave. None who came under the spell cit
of the magsician no matter how politics re
sundered them, ever escaped from that' to
'
mellow. influence. Sir Wilfrid in de-
feat had as many friends as he bad in
the plenilune of success perhaps rnore .
friends, perhaps better ones, because
he waii. free of the turmoil and bitter -
nes s Of active ridership and could
round out his \destiny as a serene
philosopher. ' \
For some time before he shifted into
the Infinite, Sir Wilfrid was living in a
sort of Nirvana which takes small aaa
count of earthly strife. He had thrown
away ambition. He was willing to
stand aside for the Coming Man—if
the Coining Man would only hurry.
Who is the Corning Man? Has death
solved the problem? At all events
Sir Wilfrid died as he had lived—a
peace -maker.
"I shall never forget" said one griz-
zled correspondent, "how he took me,
an awkward, cub reporter, put me at
my ease and enfolded me in his smile.
That smile of his has kept me warm to
him all my life."
"Yes" said another, "he was a true
friend. I took a lot of my troubles to
him. He was always willing to share a
burden He helped me over some hard
spots. Better times he used to say—
for you and for ine.
"I wonder" said atlother fingering an
old Hansard "if h will find anybody
to speak as eloomently for him as he
did for MacDoriala. What a funeral
oration. that was/ Tom White will
.have something to do to top this stuff
here."
"Its a good thing" said another
"that we've had eL war to accustom us
to great bereavernerits. Sir Wilfrid
leaves a big gape Ottawa will never be
quite the same to ine now that the
"Old Man" has gone.;
"I'm glad," interjected 'another,
"that he lived to see the end of tne
war. It would have been a great disa-
ppointment to that eager mind of Ms
not to know how the great tragedy
came out Now that the War is over
we begin to know what it meant. Now
that Sir Wilfrid's life i over we may
begin to know what, it/ineant too." * .
And so the talk drifted. The state
funeral provided. another topic for
comment, , i
"Its, my opinion"; said one "that"'
Union Government auries a great deal
of its peace of mind when it buries
Laurier. He was a steadying influ-
ence. ' Who will keep the young lions
from Quebec in order now that there
isno one. to, whom , to transfer their
personal devotion? Sir Wilfrid's death
puts a new sharp edge on the whole
situation."
' "Let us° hope for the best" said
another. "If the solid Quebec has no
one to be solid about, the solid Ontario
may also disappear. Perhaps the day
is near when we shall cease to play one
against the other. What we want is a
healthy cleaverage of opinion all over
the-countryeNo blocs—or other obsta-
cles to straight thinking. If the guns
over in Europe have taught us any-
thing it must be to be honest in our
difference of opinion. The New Deal
whatever it is, should cut athwart the
whole of Canada, leaving no province
"It's my opinion" said g Winnipeg
man, "that_ Sia Wilfrid's death puts a
new fissure in Union Government,
What with the Premier and one fourth
of the Cabinet absent in- Paris, and
Sir Wilfrid, who sat on the Opposition
lid, gone, this session which merely .
threatended to be turbulent may now
become disruptive. -Eyerybody might
to be on thea job if. we . are to come
good Wages in - factories, etc. His
work was intended to make the return-
ing men not only uaeful citizens but
also to make them feel independent of
charity, or any resemblance of it and
to restore their self confidence. 'Young
men, Who, when inlistink hael not
completed their' education or trades,
were taken in hand and assisted lib-
erally to do so. Surveys of factories
and other places._ of employment were
being made to . assist those looking
for employment or wishing to learn
trades., Any returned soldier, wish-
ing any information of this °nature,
should drop a card .giving his name;
regimental number, date of discherge
and place of discharge to A. Murray
Alla, Industrial Survey Office, Strat-
ford, and his case will receive im-
mediate attention. -
The clerk presented. aueh correspon-
dence and information as he had gath-
ered, and thecommittee discussed very
fully all the phases of the question so
far as the Soldiers, Land Settlement
scheme has developed. The legisla-e
tion .so far enacted is in the formative
,stage and nothing very definite can be
determined until- that is complete.
- But every reeve and his council, and,
every other citizen can do much to-
wards furnishing the names and other
information looking to absorbing these,
brave boys into the civil life, of oar
county: This work can be begun at
once, and the sooner the better, to
head off any murmurings of discon-
tent that may possibly arise through
any real or apparent indifference on
our pat. Cards will be sent out to
each reeve and such -information will
in due course be collected.
The following resolutions, which
ee
ex-
plain themselves, were adopted beeThe
conarattee, and ordered to beiforward-
ed to the proper Authorities and 'pub-
lished in our county papers.
The first, while expressing apprecia-
tion on the efforts so .far in attempts
at repatriation, calls attention to a
Phase of that work which needs very
serious attention. Farming being the
basic industry of our country, upon
which all others -depend, it was felt
that very generous ineadures must be
adopted to induce the boys to get back
to the land. This is made more ap-
.parent,. when we consider the liheral
inducement held out in other walks of
life. Canada being essentially an agri-
cultural country, the lack of labor am
the farms is the most serious obstacle,
to production that the farmer is up
against, and any measure of liberal
bonuses or other inducements, Minna/.
to that rendered those wishing to
learn trades or go to school; to induce
our young m 1
eno settle on farms,
will do much to -restore farming to
hormal conditions and help put it
where it belongs as the greatest and
most needed of occupations.
. The resolution, which was moved by
Mr. B. W„ F. Beavers, of Exeter, and
seconded by Mt. Jas. A. Ford, of Clin-
ton, is as follows: "That we, the
Comittee of Huron 'County council 'ap-
pointed to consider the Soldiers' Land
Settlement proposition, wish to place
on -record our appreciation of the efa
fort of our governments, both Dornitee
ion .and Provincial, towards repatilita
tion of oue breve soldier boys andt
recognizing in a tangible manner taeir
patriotism, sacrifice and bravery, 4nd
we pledge our support to the further-
ing of any scheme whereby these et;
forts for world freedom on the part
of our heroic MU will be-recogn4ed;
not onlv. accoedhig tatheir merits ibjet
through the reconstruction period , al
right."
"What's to prevent" asked a nervou
Toronto corresieendebt, "The Western
Liberal Unionists, whether in or out o
the Cabinet from gravitating to th
new -English Protestant Liberal leade
especially if he is sound on lower tar
iff ? They mai, have felt a little,deli
cate about going back to Sir Wilfri
for various reasons but what's to sto
them bolting now if °the right man
conies along? It looks to me as if th
sceptre is about to pass to the west.
"How aboet MacKenzie ' King?'
somebody suggested. •
"A rising hope—clean record, excellent abilities—youth and vigor. But
hoe, does he stand with the Old Guard
Besides aie is net in the House. He has
to eorne from too far behind. Anyhow
there's not enough Ontario Liberals in.
Parlament to make anybody leader.'
Events may stultify Press Room
comment—this story is written tee
days ahead of the date of issue— but
the general opinion was that Mr. Field-
ing .a Liberal Unionist, or Mr. D. D.
Maeken.zie, a Laurier Liberal would be
chosen temporary leader and that the
national coovention would probably
settle on Premier Martin of Saskatch-
ewan or perhaps a Western Liberal,
now in the • Cabinet, , as permanent
clieice. Regret was expressed that
Mr. Carvell had not resigned his Cab-
inet position as soon as the armistice
was signed. He would have been
a better Position for the Liberal
leadership as a private member than
as a Cabinet Minister in Union Gov-
ernment. A similar regret was ex-
pressed in regard to Messrs. Calder,
Sifton, and Crerar, who are not so to
speak 'tactically placed" for this sud-
den change in the front Hoe.
It will be interesting to note how
near or how far the Press Gallery is
from the actual solution of the prob-
lem. No doubt the conclusions of the
men on the spot are just as pertinent
as those made by wise editors at a
longer distance. In the midst of death
we ,are in 'life and the biggest ques-
tions for both the political parties in
Canada is, "What Next."

SOLDIERS LAND SETTLEMENT
This committee of the County
Council to whom it was entrusted
to collect data and to investi-
ate to what extent the Govermnent
ould assist the returned heroes of
uron to settle down in civil life, met
Clinton on the 20th instant.
The committee was composed of
arden Campbell, chairrnan Laporte
x -Wardens Livingston and Goven-
ck, and Councillors Ford, Beavers,
tty, Young; Saunders and Moffat
unty officers Holman and Lane were -
so in attendance.
13y request, Mr. A.. Murray Allan, of
ratford,, representing the Depart-
ent of Soldiers' Vocational Training
ork, was present and gave a very
eresting and instructive talk on the
rk being carried on by the Govern-
nt in re-establishing returned. sol-
rs in their former occupations, and
Mg the disabled ones for useful and
ofitable employment in every
here of life Instances .1.- •
ed of the good work where soldiers
turning to all intents and puroses
tally disabled, were now earning
1 that they will be dealt with in a nifan-
er commensurate with our appreeiae
s tion of their heroism and our ability
to deal generously with them. But
f we are of the opinion that more at-
e teniion should be given by our, goVern-
✓ ments to devising schethes for the re-
- training of our boys on the farms by
assisting such after the manner of the
a benefits allowed others for vocational
P training or further education, said as-
sistance to take the form of bonuses

who wish to return to farm life, and
that the Legislature of the Province
I be asked to pass legislation empoweie
ing county councils to supplement
such -grants or bonuses made for such
• purposes.",
The following resolution, moved by
Messrs. Young, of Colborne, and GeV-
, enlock, of McKillop, was also adapted:
"That the reeves and council of each
municipality be requested, to act as
look out committee to collect in the
speediest way possible all particulars
regarding our returning. soldiers that
they may be assisted so far as pos-
sible in resuming their former poste
tions or occupations in the chin life of
each community, and to take all neces-
sary steps to carry out the wishes of
the people regarding the repatriation
of our county boys. ;
