SEAFOldH, Friday, March 5, 1920.
THE NEW HOME
"The way tie get into a building" Ete
Cabinet Minister explained "is to get
in." In other words Parliament has
left the Museum for the Hill. although
the new home is not quite finished.
As a matter of fact it will be an-
other year befere the building is out
of the contractors' hands and that
means a course that a certain num-
ber. of Senators will die before their
quarters are ready.
They tell me that one of the
reasons why Parliament was in such
a hurry to move in was because the
Senators wanted to prepare them:
selves for heaven by dwelling in
marble halls for a short time on
earth. Of course you can get marble
balls at the Chateau Laurier or any
other big hotel but that is not the
same thing—it lacks the uplift. The
new- home has about two miles of
marble halls and the hope is gen-
erally expressed that they will have
an ennobling influence on the Farm-
ers." Party.
In assigning_the private rooms for
the :members, great care has been
taken to provide the U.. F.'s with
S'unny southern exposures to melt
their hard hearts and give them a
broad outlook. That ought to help
some.. The accoustics of the Green
Chamber, which is really a White
Chamber with the old faded carpet
to give it greenery, are excellent.
Maharg of Saskatchewan .tried out
his stoke there the other day and
people who heard him said: "This
is the man who will put the cow in
acoustics if it was not there be/ore."
This COMMOTIS chamber is .said to
,be the largest in the world—but its
_proportions are so just that it leaves
an effect not of immensity but of
easy spaciousness. e Its beautiful
windows drink. in the light from both
sides of the room, the pure white
light, which .so many politicians lack.
In course of time these windows are
to be supplied with stained glass but
this will* not happen. imtil the coun-
try has settled down to a mellower
frame of mind. Meanwhile, Parlia-
ment will operate in a clear white
light which ought to show just where
every man stands.
The Press Gallery—which occupies
its usual perch above the Speaker's
chair—boasts of many modern im-
provements including two swinging
rnirrcirs on the posts at either end.
The Object of these mirrors is to angle
the man under the gallery •to the
journalist in the back row but -they
do not work very well. They will
probably be removed and that is
reasonable enough because the press
is well able to reflect public opinion his attitude toward personal freedom.
in the good old way. I got it all right—wasn't I sitting
This noble room would require
more words to describe than I have
space to use—so it must be enough
to say that it is a wonderful confec-
tion of cream, colored stone, panelled
oak, bronze grills and marble screens,
the whole making for a splendor
-which is chaste but warm. Just now
it is disfigured by the old desks and
the old chairs, but with new trappings
to match, it willibe the most dignified
legislative chamber in or out of the
British Empire.
The Senate in Clover.
The Senate Chamber is smaller,
just as dignified, but more severe, as
becomes the august character of its
prospective occupants. At present,
the Senate Chamber is a raffle of
seaffolding, cement bags and builder's
gear, but when it takes shape it will
be a -thing of beauty and a sempi-
ternal joy, even if the Senate be-
comes elective or is abolished. The
Farmers' Party, when it gazes on so
much beauty may relent and decide
to let the Senate live on, sooner than
close a room of such surpassing mag-
nificence. Indeed great things are
expected of the statues and the paint-
ings, with which our artists will be
adorning the nation's temple for many
years to come. They will have an
aesthetic influence on the radicals who
Will be disposed to say "We will not
level down. Rather we vvill level up
to these beautiful surroundings."
Just now the Senate moves.
breathes and has its being in the
Railway Committee rooms, a lofty
apartment whose very ante -room is
�t for Kings. The touch of local
color which makes it a Senate rather
than a committee room is the red
carpet which is sadly in need of the
eraeuum cleaner. The old furniture
looks ragged and shabby against the
vivid freshness of the new back-
ground. Just here is the place to
say that the nen" Parliament build-
ing is scientifically ventilated and
does not smell either of carnets, rub-
ber matting or Senators, which were
the familiar odors of bye -gone days
before and during the Great War,
It augurs a noble eagerness for
beauty that Sir George Foster,
Gran'pere Doherty and other aged
members of the Cabinet were just as
anxious as the younger fry to get in
touch with the new environment be-
fore they died or were turned out at
the next election. Many 'members
likewise spoke ma. They said, We
want to know how all this grandeur
feels before we get the grand
bounce, somewhere about September,
1921." In this sense the building is
more than a Parliament—it is a
mausoleum, crowded with tenants who
look forward 'with more or less com-
posure to the day when they will be
tumbled out.
The new home is just a bit noisy.
The workmen go about their accus-
tomed tasks in the uncompleted parts
of the building. The hammers can
be plainly heard but what is one ham-
mer more or less to a Union Govern-
ment that has long done business to
the tune of the "Anvil Chorus?"
The Temperature of Loyalty. •

lobbies, the caucus rooms, No. 16 and

lage fin- the storing of machinery.—
Judging by the number of farmers

that many farms are changing hands

Mr. Rowell's Boudoir.
If the members have private rooms
which cause them to exclaim "Home/
was never like this," the Cabinet
Ministers have sanctums which would
not shame a king. The Premier's
panelled ceiling high in walnut is on
the first floor;' Mackenzie . King's,
half -panelled to show he is on the
way upwards, is on the floor above;
and Brother Rowell's, no panelling or
conceahnent of any kind, just tinted
walls—is on the floor above that.
The arrangement suggests dicta -
,phones and holes bored in the floor,
so that the statesmen may keep
watch on each other.
It will /be seen that Leader Rowell
operating from the highest level, can
always look down on the rest. If I
must pass criticism it is that Leader
Rowell's room is not as austere as I
had expected. The walls are a dull
red with an undertone of yellow—too
passionate, I should say, for such a
chaste crusader. I dropped into Sir
Galaha&s empty chair, just to get
the feel of it—to absorb, if I could,
on it?
I am bound to say that the Min-
isters have done themselves well in
the matter of TOMS. Not only the
Ministers but the ex -ministers of
yesterday, to -day and perhaps of to-
morrow. The lion. Sydney Mewburn
has one of the best—a reward, no
doubt, for past performance. The
Hon. A. K, Maclean grabbed off a
good one just before . he sent in his
-resignation and of course he keeps
it on. In other words a Cabinet Min-
ister may lose his home in the Gov-
ernment but he is always sure of a
good room with a fireplace to take
the ,chill off the political situation,
and plenty of windows facing north,
south, east and west—in,fact where -
ever votes are to be had.—H. F. G.

The Late Mrs. Sawers.—We made
brief mention last week of the death
of Mrs. (Die) C. W. Sewers, which
occurred an her home in Watford on
Tuesday, February 23rd, after a short
illness from pneumonia.' The follow-
ing facts which we take from the
Guide -Advocate of Watford Will be
of interest to the many friends of
the deceased and her husband in this
vicinity. Mrs. Sewers was a daugh-
ter of the late George Hart and was
horn in. Stanley township, but spent
the greater part of her life in this
village. After graduating from the
Clinton Collegiate, she taught school
in Zurich and in 1910 she was married
to Dr. Sewers, who is a son of Rev.
E. H. Salvers, formerly pastor of
Union church. The Guide -Advocate
says: "Seldom has this community
been so shocked as it was Tuesday
evening when the news spread that
Mrs. Sawers, wife of C. W. Sewers,
M.D., had passed away at her home
on Ontario Street. The fact of her
serious illness from' that dread
disease pneumonia was not generally
known until a day or two before her
death and the sad tidings were there-
fore a sudden shock to many. Her
illness was of about a week's dura-
tion. Mrs. Sewers passed to her re-
ward in the full bloom of woman-
hood. She was a model wife and
mother, of an exceedingly affection-
ate disposition, bright' and winning in
her ways. Her circle of friends - was
large, as all admired her beauty of
character. Deceased came to Wat-
ford with her husband from Napier
four years ago. Besides her hus-
band she leaves two little daughters,
Ruth and Edith, about six and three
years old, rsepeetively, to mourn the
loss of a loving and affectionate wife
and mother. The funeral was held
Thursday afternoon to the Watford
cemetery and was private. The heart-
felt sympathy of- the community in
which she was so highly esteemed
is extended to her sorrowing husband
'and motherless children.

their lingers badly burned last week when
mav,ket dropped all the way to $1,50 per
hundred pounds last Monday, combined with
a hold-up by snow in nuraerous parte of the
country made this morning's offering iii
-cattle a remarkably light one, Only one
thousand head were penned and while buyers
did not betray any unusual keenness to oper-
ate they had to pay from 75 cents to a dollar
more per hundred pounds than they did last
Monday. The advance in prices did not de-
lay the market to any appreciable extent and
the pens were cleaned before 11.30. To-
morrow's offering It is fully antiohnsted will
make up for to -day's shortage. One load
of heavy steers were sold by Rice and Whaley
at $14.25 the top price, while the United
Farm,ers disposed of a load of medium -weight
steers at $18.90. Other loads and part loads
of butchers and steers castled in from $12;75
to 118.50, but a'. fair proportion, of the offer-
ing found values between 19.50 to $11.50.
All grades of killers were affected by the
advance, the larger increases affecting the
better grades. Butcher cows were an equally
active and stronger market and while best
bulls were proportionately firmer these re-
quired a little snore pedalling.
Milkers and springer& were in good de-
mand at from $90 to $150 per head, bat the
trade in stockens and feeders continued to be
of trifling seeauat-
, All small meats. were active and firm at
the higher values of bust week. fhe best
lamb° and vests selling from $21 to $23
and best light sheep from '1112 to 114.
Last week's closing price of $18.50 fed
and watered, Was paid for a light consign-
ment of hogs. .Paaker-bnyers talk of $11.2.1
f.o.b. and $18.5 .fed and wired, for the
net of this week but these are really only
the pricee they are anxious to serve up to
the newspapers and are not to be taken in-
to 'account vers. seriously. Given light offer-
ings for the rest of this week the market
will very, likely bold steady iT not Tara a
little.
This morning's receipts were 82 carloads
with 1,008 cattle, 267 calves, 1,764 hogs and
128 sheep and lambs.
