Youthful obscurity may be a ‘barrier to rapid ‘progress into the orbit of greatness; but it Is the kind of barrier which brightens brain. toughens ‘fibre and iwhets the edge of ambition.

One of bls flivorltes, when stuck was to say: "Well. as Burke has observed. ‘a man may smile and be a villain 8101'." I tried In vain to win him away from this sbonoedged quota.- tlon, ‘which often enough was inept; yet be invariably fell back upon It when puzzled for something more appropriate. ‘Slr Mackenzie was also inquisi- lllfe. possibly as the outcome of bis newspaper instinct and habits. When I was with him in Australia. In 1899, he was smaied at the wealth of the country and ‘the prices rich men paid for things. One Sunday. in the outskirts of Mel- bourne, he got a series of shocks while indulging his tendency to be lnierrogutive. It was at the home of a ‘multi-milllonuire named ‘Wag- ner, who had gone to Australia from near Cornwall. Canada, in 1852 iu search of gold and made a great fortune out of stage coach lines and sheop. I have hem to interpolate an db- scrvalion about the magnitude of the sheep industry in Australia.

John J. Hawkins was there to represent the Tories, and for the Grits. right at the start. and although we 13111118 away at daylight not fifteen minutes of speaking had ‘been done. There were a lot of sore beads along the ‘townline that night. The lute Hon, John Morrissey, of New Brunswick. belonged to the old school of political fighters. lie ‘came down from Newcastle to take part in the famous contest of 1900 George E.

Things weren't going to John's lik- ing; so at the first ‘pulbllc meeting he sold: “You haven't got an elec- tion golng on here at all I've been here for two days and haven't yet heard one man call another n liar. You're not In earnest." There was a great deal of that sort of ‘thing in the long ago. But It is not difficult to discern other changes In the political realm. There are fewer outstanding person- alltles in Parliament ‘today, and l1 seems to me the debates have lost In force. There ls more talking; but It is not all up to the old sland- ard. Parliament has In considerable degree ‘been turned Into s hustiugs, and to that extent has ceased to be a deliberative body. That element has . of course, always been present and rows directly out of the ‘party system; ‘but I am confident then‘ has been degeneration In that re- gard. The Introduction of a strong Third Party three or four years ago has not ‘tended ‘to correct that dis- ability. When I entered the Press Gallery of the House of Commons in 1885. tho ‘public debt was $264,703,607. ‘It is now $Z,888.827,237. Th war accounts for no more of this vast increment than does our railway problem. coupled with a universal disposition to spread out on -bor- ‘rowed money. I am confident we need e more courageous spirit in Parliament if our obviously serious position as respects obligations is to be corrected. ‘And that ‘rueans strong men.
