William Lyon MacKenzie King. Swinging on his two fingers uplifted high in the air he draws a halo about his own personality and sanctlfies the re- juvenated Liberal party and, from that moment to the time his voice sends in a pathetic appeal for sympathy, Mr. King typitles the political reincarnation of the late venerable chieftaln. _The new Liberal leader is a wonderfully clear and forceful speaker. He is a master of all the wlles of the platform orator. Oraiorlcal illusion is his stock in trade and he is able, like his great predecessor, to lead his bearers where he will and they will follow, not his words, but his eloquence, along the most torturous paths of understanding. When he has finished they applaud him, they cheer him._ yes, they give him an ovation, not for what he has said, but for the manner in which be has 'done lt, and verybody loves an orator, no matter what his shade ol' political opinion may e. _ With th morning comes recollection and calculated thought analysis, and people `k themselves has Mr. MacKenzie King justified himself? Are his explanatl ins thorough and satlsfactory'.' After all, wasn't the whole affair a pleasant e mpie of the political hyperbole, the old, old song put to a new tune? Dldn’ the speaker’s expressions ol' modesty and sell-sacrifice quiver ui. their own finconsistency? The dwelling place ol' patriotism is in a mania own soul and limi is Mr. Klng's doctrine, and the love of country is sacred, it is confidential, it should be locked up in a man's innermost heart and the key consigned to the bot- tomless “Loke of Portage.” It should not be willspened, it is as sacred as the confessional. ‘ When the war came on Mr. King could not do the dramatic thing und that is what he said last night. By dramatic action, the Liberal leader meant what millions of other men did. What a drama it was and what a caste! No, the new Laurier could not fancy himself in a hero's role. He was con- tent with a mere walking part or shifting the properties behind the back drop. He was not going to swank about booted and spurred, arrayed like Solomon in all his glory, in red and gold and fine khaki whip cord, and he was not go- ing to be a' Carton de Wlar, oneeyed and one-armed who, in moleskin leather- fop boots and mustard colored gloves, went "over the top" to win the Victoria Cross. No, his modesty and his aversion to parading his patriotism before the vulgar gaze forbade it. Modesty was the greaf canopy which shielded MacKenzie King from the glare of the military lime light. Yet he glories in the brilliant rays oi’ the political sun. Mr. MacKenzie King was meant for greater things. Years of study, of assiduous application to the problems which beset humanity, deepest interest in the suffering, the woes and the wrongs of his fellow men, his engrossing review of social science, political economy; in brief, politics called him to self ordination in the hierarchy of the Liberal party, that dlsintel'ested instrument of ameliorntion. "I, Macliensie King, deeply versed in all that goes-to help my fellow men. my bosom overflowing with pity and sympathy with mankind in its wretched- ness and racking agonles, who in the seclusion of my library pored ove`r books and treaties, and wrote masterpieces which no one else dared attempt. "I am qualified to know exactly how best to serve my country in its hour of need. It is mete and right that other men should do as they are told, but I decide my own destinles. and I, the student of politics, am indlspensible.” Mr. MacKe'i1zie Klng’s modesty forsooth. “The Government did not want me when the war broke out.” That was the plalntlve cry which soared to the ratters.of the Crystal Rink. Genius unrecognized, the flower of capacity left to wither and die so he hied himself to_ the United States! His Colorado reputation had cast a shadow in the offices of the great steel magnates, the Rockefeller Foundation, the base oi’ Mr. King‘s industrial sky scraper, was the magical influence which _caused steel corporations across the line to trip one another up in their scramble to get him. Tile service he gave them must Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation. In short, it is u letter froma great Ameri- can trust recommending the Canadian people to give Mr. King ri job as Prime Minister, and setting forth that his assistance was evidently of real value, fromiheir point of view in helping to win the war. Later in the evening he emphasized his belief in the open door to a great number of commodities in- cluding raw materials. "I pledge my word that this will be done," he said. Can there possibly be any connection? At any rate one must associate the ideas. _ - - ' | ._ l The Liberal Leader dwelt at great 'the standards of living.

Prac- tically all of London’s subway lines are now working a restricted service and al-though congestion is still ser- ious on all available means of -trails- port mornings and evenings there ls likely to be a constantly decreasing congestion unless the transport work- ers declare a strike. The Government is being praised for its effective handling of the situ- ation and its success in providing the huge populations of London and other big cities with food.
