The Men Who Are Doverniog
Canada,
Hon. Robert Rogers, Minister Of
Public Works,
Hon. Robert Roger Minister of
Public Works in Mr. ideti's cabinet,.
controls the largest spending depart-
ment in the Thereto Service, and from
the point of view of the man in the
street it is the most important. To the
adminietration of that department the
Minister of Public Works caste well
equipped with a record of business and
political success behind hiw, wbich
.has been further enhanced since he
took office after the reeignation of
Hon, F. D, Monk in 1012, About no
other personality in Canadian life to-
day is there so much speculation and
so much mystery due to hie reserve,
resourcefulness and quiet repose.
The Minister of Public Works is a
shining example of the public man,
who though aseailed and attacked
most bitterly by his political enemies,
is, in the public esteem, stronger and
more trusted than ever. His eminent
position bas Dot bean won by chance
or fortuitous circumstances, but
by
exhibiting the qualities of a man en•
dowed with etreugth of character and
administrative ability. It is question•
able if any man in the public life of
Canada ever had concentrated upon
him during any period of his public
life more systematic and organized
slanderous and roue abuse at one time than
t>;t that
heaped by the Liberal leaders and
press during the first two sessions of
the present parliament upon Hon.
Robert Rugere.
After the rout; of the Liberal party
in 1911 and when they had recovered
partial coneciousaese, the Liberals dis-
covered that the Hon. Robert had.
proved too many for them. Hon.
Frank Oliver found his cohorts from
the West reduced in numbers and his
own reputation as a political organizer
despoiledoilsd of ite lustre. At once the
latent venom of the ex -Minister of the
Interior found vent in abuse of the
most vulgar kind. He introduced the
slogan of the Federal Liberal party,
.,
Actaek Rogers all the time." In
parliament and out of parliament the
work was kept up. Everything evil
was laid at the door of Rogere If a
postmaster was dismissed in the
most eastern portion of the Dominion
of Canada for violent partisanship,
behold the man from the West was
ret puustble, until many Liberals re-
garded the Minister of the rnterior, as
Mr. Rogers was then, as fleet cousin to
the Prince of Darkness himself.
But it is true in the life of most pub -
lie men that there comes a period when
even their enemies revolt against con-
sistent and persistent distortionsof
facts concerning them. The awaken
ing came when Premier Barden show-
ed his confidence in Hoe. Mr. Rogers
b giving g ing him the portfolio of Public
Works and transferring him from the
Interim. Dep.ert mr+nt lifter i he re eigna•
tion of Ron. Mr. Monk. Liberals then
began +u rrouguize that they nad been
deceived and hood -winked by. their
leaders and newspapers. Hon. R•ebert
Rogers was feared by Frank Oliver
and his Weeteixi' political followers.
It was their detain:nati n to ruin by
foie eue.etaee the Western etatestnar.
And Liberals all over the Dotuieion
saw through the game. The falsehoods
iri the Toronto "Globe" and the Win-
nipeg "Free Press" soon lost their
hoped for effect, and the people want-
ed none of them. They were repulsive
to the Canadian mind with its Anglo-
Saxon instincts of fair play and justice,
and to day there is not a word utile -
pored for the Liberals dare not. Since
the opening of the present session
there has been more than ever a mark-
etrl ah'ence of reference to Hon. Ruhr.
Rogers on the part of the Oppo7,ition.
1s, hay ail beeu a personal triumph
for the Minister of Public Works.
Another man, the °eject of shark
from such a strong party machine,
would have lost his head and gone
under. But not so with "Bob" Rogers
as be is effeotinnatelycalled by all who
know him. He stood square ag,unet
all the winds which blew. Ele knew
better than all the rest that his only
weakness was bis political strength.
It be bad been less significant and less
successful Itis enemies would have left
him severely alone. But hie masterly
qualities of or'lganizaUon and leader•
anis proved the magoete for the darts
of his foes, and he accepted them as
ordinary oircumstanees in the working
day e,f a busy man's life.
The Minister of Public Works is a
kindly man to meet and to knnw. Of
his predeeeseor in the same office in
the Laurier cabinet, Ron, William
Pugsley, the same might have been
,.at,,. teat with a different meaning
Pugsley exhibited a suavity of manner
and ec smoothness of voice and expres-
sion which was moot pleasant to the
stranger who for the first time way
meeting the man from New Bruns-
wick. But to know him was different
He promised much but did little. The
Conservative .Minister of Public Works
is both kindly to those who meet him
for the first tim+'and what he promises
he carries on-. He never shirk-) aducy,
and when it ie unpleasant he faces it
with cheerfutne•sa and courage, ..
In a politicians' life there ie often a
temptation to achieve cheap popular-
ity by catering to poppniar demands,
which would prove ir+jerious to the
country g•airc
afterwards,
rds
The
le obi ft
y
to
distinguish between tat
which seems
good in legislation and that which is
good constitutes the difference be-
tween a politician and a etatesniin.
Hon. Robert Rogers is a statesmen.
If be bad acceeded to the populae de-
mand in the West in 1011, Reciprocity
would have been a certain" y now.

advice of eowne of his pnlitieat friends

The Rouse of (eotnmone is a Creature
of many moods,. 8ometimee it is sad ;
sometimes it la gay, and sometimes it
shows no emotion at all. It has its
likes and its dislikes, and it takes time
to change a first impression, But in
all that assembly there is one man
who has conquered the prejudices of
enemies, and while not winning them
over to tale political ideas, yet he has
softened them toward$ the creed he
preaches.
Hon, Robert Rogers has accomplish-
ed much in the matter of legislation
Educe he entered politics, but his great-
est victory bas been achieved in that
quieter sphere where the lovable quali-
ties of the man and the strength and
sincerity of his character had the op-
portunity to reveal themselves, De -
spire abuse and slander he has triune-
phed, and amongst his warmest ad-
mirers now are those who formerly
maligned him. That in itself is as
warm a tribute to the good senee of
his former opponents as it is a compli-
ment to the Han. Robert hitnself.
