OF DEATH AND THE HEREA.FTER
The oldest Ottawa correspondent
.voles that this is the most listless
session he has seen in twent-five
years. From the way matteridawdle
it is evident that the Govetninent is
waiting for something to turn up -
Premier Borden or its own toes.
Some believe that Sir Robert will
come back -the date set is May I,5th
-others believe that he can't Among
those who believe that the robin will
return is -Dr. Reid, who' visits the
-premier from time to time in his
bunny southern home. It is to be
observed that tt's Doctor Reid who
always goes on these father dear-
father-comeshome-toeus-now appeals.
Doctor Reid is a practical politician
and he tens the absent one what is
what, in plain language. Calder
'would never do because he is too diplo-
matic, nor Mr. Rowell because he is
-too full of hope that Providence will
intervene. Mr. Rowell is so immers-
ed in the public good that he can't
see his own fate coming, His is the
faith that looks the worst in the
face, confident that the Almightly
will perfolen a miracle to save Union
Government because there is one just
man in the Cabinet.
Not that Mr. Rowell itlies entirely
on faith -not at all. He knows that
faith without works is dead and COn-
sequently he works everybody and
everything that can boost 'llewton
Wesley Rowell. The Bureau of In-
formation, having been deftly hidden
away in the Department of External
Affairs', Mr. Rowell^ comes foeward
with another gay balloon in the
shape of an Imperial News Service,
subsidized of course, by the Govern-
ment, whose chief function is to cable
f' daily to the English newspapers that
Mr. Rovrelt is the-, one really great
man in Canada'in reply to which the
English end of the combination cables
back that Max Aitkin and Grant
Morden are two best bets over there.
As Minister of All The Residuary
Powers, Mr. Rowell does everything
that the other Cabinet Ministers leave
undone and gets good advertising at
every stage of the game. It remains
to be seen whether this advertising
pays. Mr. Rowell firmly believes that
it does.
.Mr. Meighenis another statesidan
who thinks that public opinion needs
a little stimulatieeeHe looks for -
Ward to the time when Union Govern-
ment will pass away and .Arthur
Meighen will be looking for a soft
spot in the hearts of the people. To
that end a little paper has been start-
ed in Toronto" called the Onlooker,
which repeats from week to week
what a clever fellow Arthur Meighen
is.. Incidentally it tells also what a
great man Sir George Faster is but
as evEc-rybody knows that Sir George
is as old as Enoch and like him about
to be translated the inference is that
Arthur is the real cheese and that
Sir George has just hien slipped in.
to give an artistic verisimilitude. to
an otherwise bold and unconvincing
narrative.
Ready For Death.

and otherwise, to ease,
fr preachers -Mr. Rowell,
adminiiter spiritual coin -
fort -evert hing, in fact, except an
undertake e and embalmer to nail
down at the finish. So far the Gov-
ernment has not done the necessary
things to make & peaceful death bed
-that is to say it -has not retrenched
in the right places,- taxed the right
persons, or deflated the paper cur-
rehey-e-but there is reason to believe
that it would face its end manfully
if it only knew which end it was
facing. It is, so to speak, bewilder-
ed.
The, complaint among newspaper
men is that everything is dead -Gov-
ernment, Parliament, Opposition, Far -
mets -all dead, not a kick anywhere.
No fighting. The only person that
rises to a point of order is the statute
of the Sieur de Champlain, and the.
Nepean, Point he rises to is half I
mile away from the Speaker's eye.
It has been suggested that Macdonald,
Cartier, Brown, IVIackehzie, Baldwin,
Lafontaine, Magee instead of stand-
ing around on Parliament Hill doing
nothing might be brought in to mix
things up in the Green Cinonber.
Failing this miracle, it looks like a
dull session. ,
Anything to let up a scrap. The
map -for inetance-why not_fill its
hollow, gilded head with cocktails
and then spray Parliament with high
spirits?
Still another idea. ' Divisions are
as scarce RS heft% teeth. Why not
kill two birds witli one stone? In -
mese the sessional idemnity-with-
out appearing to do so -and at
the same time start a little excite-
nient by paying $20 to each member
of Parliament for every division he
takes paft in. Fifteem hundred dol-
lars being the void between the pres-
ent indemnity and the four thousand
dollars so ardently desired,* follows
that seventy-five extra divisions at
twenty dollars per Would bridge the
chasm. It would do more than that
-it would mean a full, and constant
attendance of members and a Paella-

The Doctor's Golden Future.
Dr. Reid, 1 am told, is not interest-
ed in newspaper reclame because long
before Union Government passes out,
he intendes to make himself President
of the Canadian National Railways
at fifty thousand a year. The doctor
knows as much about railways as I
do about the fourth dimension, but
that does not alter the fact that he
has his old age to provide for and
Canada is the only country that will
do the providing. The doctor is al-
rmdy buttressing' his prospectiee pos-
ition as president by refusing to
answer questions of railway mange -
merit on theground that it is "not
in the public interest."
Assuming that Dr. Reid, Minister
of Railways, foreshadows Dr. Reid,
President of the Canadian National
Railways, the public can rely on gette
ing as much information out of him
and his Canadian 'Northern associates
as the average citizen can get out
blood out of a stone. It is the doctor's
policy never to cough up -and that
'policv applies not only to his job, but
!also to any information he possesses
'about it.
If Sir Robert decides to vacate his
shoes, Mr. Calder is another contend-
er. So far Mr. Calder has no special
voice- in the Canadian press, but that
Matter can doubtless be attended to
Intel " on. Meanwhile Mr. Calder has
announced at one little dinner and an-
other, that vilification of public men
-that whom none is more public than
Mr. Calder himself -must cease. Just
how Mr. Calder is going- to head off
brisk criticism is not apparent but
doubtless he will find a way by order -
in -council or otherwise. And of
course, after the criticism has ceased
the band will -begin to play.
Outside the four names I have men-
tioned ambition does not exist. The
rest of the Cabinet Ministers are will -
'frig to let things drift. No new Cab-
inet Ministers are likely to occur 'be-
cause entering the Cabinet now is
like stepping into an open boat in

Dam Breaks -A teagedy was nar-
rowly averted here about 1.30 Satur-
day afternoon when only prompt
action in putting the brakes on his
auto and reversing the car prevented
Roy Mundy, a local grocer, from be-
ing carried down the river with
masses of debris, when the upper
Wingliam bridge and dam suddenly
collapsed in front of him. Mr. Mundy
had stopped on the far aide of the
bridge, which was a narrow wooden
structure, to allow two antoists corn-
ing from the opposite direction to
cross and had just started his car to
cross over when he was -startled to see
