Formerly the Canadian Speaker,
pn' leaving office, was entitled to
take away the chair in which he sat
as a perquisite, but this perquisite
will now be lost. It is probable that
there are some of the chairs of the

showed exceptional promise in news-
paper work after his university car-

pire when. after all other company
officers had been wounded in 1918,
lie refused to take a "blighty" for a
severe wound he had received and led

that was successful, but that brought
him a glorious death, Three daugh-

His widow, his life-long inspiration

Just this year they had celebrated
their golden wedding, amid Detain -

1n addition to his life work, Mr.
Preston gave freely of hie time and

newspaperdon recognized his merit,
naming him as their representative
at the King -Emperor's Durban at Del-

As well he was present of the Can-

In other ways, too, he freely plac-
ed his services at the disposal of his
city and country. He served as pub -
lie school trustee, was president of
the Board of Trade in 1894-5 and
was elected to the Oxttarlo Legisla-
ture in 1899 as a Liberal, being re-
elected in 1902 and 1904. He re-
tired In 1908 after setting such a re-
eox'd for constructive legislation along
socialreform lines, including secur-

labor, that when the Ontario Parole
