Martin, of Saskatchewan, arrived In the city Friday to visit his father, Rev, W.. M. Martin, of South London, Mr, Martin; who was a prominent fig- ure at the recent Liberal convention at Ottawa will leave for his home at Re- s s "The school question in Saskatche- wyanis one that is not properly under- stood -111 the East, Most of the criti- cism that you have rend or heard is not Just. So Many untruths have been told you that you out here in Ontario have not the richt opinion on the act- ual conditions in our, province The whole trouble is that the critics in Torontp do not like the way we vote in Saskatchewan, so they turn from their criticism of Quebec to Saskatch- wan. The whole campaign as it has been carried on in some of the papers has been one of misrepresentation. Premier Martin said, when asked by The Free Press about the difficulty in the school question in his provtnce, particu!ary as regards the teaching of the English language: Use English Language "The English language is being used and taught in all schools in the prov- inve,, We insist on it. The Mennonite problem, if it may be called such, is not a serious natter, 'rfiere are only 6,000 old colonist Mennonites in the whole province and the number 1 b r ts f theiu • schools Is ts! 15. What is that . m- ber out of it total number of 4,300 schools to the 1'rovinee1 But some of the papers in Toronto would have you believe that the whole province has nothing but Mennonite schools. And as to the 15 schools t have reference to we will have six of them on.a regu- lation basis by September. While these people have been using their own text books, which area Bible and cate- chism. and their own language, which is a kind of low Dutch, and not Ger- man, I understand, for adhering to wand) you, perhaps, cannot blame blest, owing to the promise that was made to them by the Dominion Gov- ernment when they came out here, we are insisting that every child be given a thorough education in English and a practcal knowledge of the. language. The Other "Then there are the Galicians and Ruthenians, whose nationality and status during the war, owing to their being from the Ukraine, was uncertain. They comprise about 11 per cent. of the population in the province. There has been no trouble with them what- soever. They want to learn English and require that their children be taught the English language. If the people in the East understood the con- ditions and knew the 'facts there would not be the criticism there is." Premier Martin, when asked about the new Liberal leadership, said that he thought that the new leader would make good and that the party would be united. Mr. Martin was accompanied to the city by his `brother, Mr. J. A. Martin, manager of the Dominion ire Company of Kitchener, origin or a Title. The eldest son of the reigning monarch of Great Britain aad the heir apparent to the Imperial throne Is alavays known as the Prince ot Wales,, It is the only case in which the title of prince as applied to a member of a royal family is a ter- ritorial one, and the story of.how it came into existence has been told many time's, It is one of the most picturesque incidents. in .English his- tory, King Edward, I, one of the early Empire builders, ended the long series of. wars between the Eng- lish, and the Welsh by bringing Wales into the union. In the conference, at which peace was concluded with the people of Wales, ling Edward promised to give them a prince who could not speak a word of English. Evidently the prejudices of language existed then as they do to -day, Any- way the otter seems to have pleased the Welsh, but they discovered that the eaany old king had played them a trick. It was true that the eldest son of the royal household could not speak a word of English, but when pe was presented to Ole Welsh chief- tains, they found that their prince was a new -burn baby, who spoke no word of any language, A 'Parallel. Not since the Middle Ages has there been such a popular Prince of Wales in England as the son of George V. People going back over history remember how the youthful Henry V was beloved by his subjects, Strangely enough it was also a war in Franco that gave him his oppor- tunity to show 1118 metal, but in these days the English weve fighting against the French, instead of side by side with them. When one takes into consideration tlsat Henry V lived in the days when the medieval idea of an autocratic king existed and the present Prince of Wales belongs to the most democratic royal household that the world has ever seen, there are many parallels between the two young men, Both won the love of their ;'allow -countryman during the days of a. great war; both were young and magnetic; boli were fear- less in the field and .had the well- being of Ole auction at heart; and both of them accepted popularity in. a straight -forward manly way, To enable talose unacquainted with any sign language to converse with deaf mutes a Frenchman has invent- ed a device resemtling a typewriter which raises 1eteers to spell Words as keys are pressed, CLINTON MARKETS Clogs s 823,00 Butter , ..... , , . _40 40 to 45c Eggs 42 to 430 Spring wheat ,12.09.

A'IICTINI OF HIS OWN GENEROSITY A member of Congress from New England undertook to raise a stun of money for a charitable purpose, and in order to collect as much money as possible, he wrote eloquent letters of appeal to his wealthiest constituents. From one of them he received the following heart -breaking reply: "1 have your letter requesting a donation for what you consider a worthy cause. I flatter myself that 1 have a spirit of loyalty and generos- ity. 1 have contributed to each 'Ind every object that has been presented to she, but I have to decline helping veer cause along for the following reasons: I have been held up, held down, sandbagged, walked en, sat on, rolled over, flattened out and squeezed; first by the Federal War Tax, the excess profits tax, the Liberty Loan Bonds and the Boncls of Matrimony; in New Jersey for the State Tar., the High- way Tax, the Income Tax, the Auto Tax, School Tax, cat tax and syntax and every society and orgvuization the inventive mind of 111511 can invent to extract what you may or may not possess, from the Society of John the Baptist, tihe G.

Obeying its summons, he declared his candidacy in his home constituency of North Waterloo, and was elected in the general election of 1908. The following year he received recogni- tion at the hands of the Imperial Government by being appointed a member of the anti -opium commis- sion which met at Sihaughal, Celina, In 1909 Mc. King also received the portfolio of Minister of Labor in the Laurier Government. Hon, .14Ir, KIng's term as Minister of Labor was terminated by the general election of 1511, 111 which the reeiprorlly issue spelled disaster to the Laurier Aclnlinistration, but in the brieft tit nears ivht5h he held ca y e office the vlinisterg ave• abundant, earnest proof of his devotion to the cause of labor. The most notable piece of legis- lation introduced by him was prob- ably his bill providing for inveslig•t- tion of trusts and mergers. Iii' was also instrWuental 'in securing the passage of the bill guerunleoing an eight- hour day for Government em- ployes. Settlement cf the G.T.R. strike of 1911 is also ascribed to his tactful mediation, which resulted in reinstatement of loon who had been dismissed for their share in the strike. The next chapter in the public Life of Mr. King concerns his association with one of the foremost industries of the century—the Rockefeller 1oun- datlon, established by Tohn D. Rocke- feller for the promotion of closer and more sympathetic co-operation ne- tween capital and labor. On October 1, 1914, Mr. King accopied the chair- manship of the Industrial Relations Department of the Foundation, with the object of undertaking an investi- gation of ecenomie conditions, "as wide as the North American contin- ent." "I would not have accepted this post," said Hon. Mr. KIng in a sub- sequent address, replying to criti- cisms of his affiliation with an Amer- ican institution, "had it meant sac- rificing my citizenships or renouncing my career in Canada." • One of Mr. King's duties as head of the industrial department of the foundation was supervision of the distribution among thousands of starving miners of 'Colorado oaf the sum of ;100,000 appropriated by the foundation. Then followed a com- prehensive study of industrial condi- tions in the same state, and pains- taking efforts ter the construction of machinery designed to bring a new relationship between %employer and employe, The results of this investi- gation and study are largely em- bodied la the Industrial representa- tion plan .first set in operation be- tween the Colorado Iron. t Feel Co, and its er ployeo, The war having hampered to some decree the progress of the tounda- tton, Mr. King in 1917 resigned Ms position upon it. The election of 191tfound him again aligned with his chieftain, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in opposition to. Union. Government. Hon. Mr, Icing, contested the North York seat, but was defeated by J. A. M. Armstrong. Sines 1917, one of Hon. Mr. King's contributions to the ceruse of talker Wife been his book "Industry and Humanity," published last winter, in which lie predicts the triumph of the principle of industrial representation. He draws a parallel in the growth of responsible government in the British Empire. "Wherever, In the affairs of the state," Mr, Ring writes, "one class has sought to maintain a monopoly of government, there sooner or lat- er, conflict has been inevitable. In the struggle for a wider freedom, mankind will not rest until in in- dustry, as in the state, autocratic government, whatever its form, is superseded by a form of government representative of all the parties in interest, and, altlmately, by a system the corucr-stone of which is respons- ible government." It is not generally known that Hon. W. L. Macitenzie King is the hero of Mrs, Humphrey Ward's novel, "The Canadian .Born," sometimes known as "Lady Merton, Colonist," but those who have made a close study of the hook, state that the character of George Anderson, the virile young Parliamentarian and labor leader, is modelled after the ex -Minister of Labor. Semblance is lent to this be- lief by the fact that while in Eng- land in 1898.1900, Mr. King made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Ward and won 'the warm friendship and admiration 'of both, A biography of Mr, .King, by Rob- son Black, says: "The champions of Mr, King hold him to be feariese, conscientious, thoroughly tnodern In his outlook, ambitious, keenly industrious, of cool and accurate Judgment, with splen- did scholarship and plenty of prac- tice in the canoe of Public serviees. The political and other critics- et Mr. Ring, admitting his academic dis- tinction. and his zeal, point to his lack of sen8e of Manor as en awk- ward handicap in such human deal- ings as are the esse1100 of his . pro- fession.
