DEATH OF SIR CLIFFORD SIFTON BRINGS FORTH TRIBUTES FROM Leas CEN EE 3 " adh TEAR REARIS RE SRAM MY PRR LAR eRRE A ~ NANY OFF Men of All "Honor to Sir Clifford as a Who 'Was a Leader in and Wide Usefulness Toronto, April 18.--From all over Canada, regardless of political opinion, poured tributes last night to the memory of Sir Clifford Sif- ton, who for more than 30 years had played a leading role in Cana- dian affairs, and who died yestur-] day in New York. Conservatives, Liberals, Progres- sives joined in expressing sorrow at the passing of a man they de- ed as the great colonizer of the prairies, Old friends in Manitoba who had known the Ontarian who 45 years ago arrived at the strug- gling little community of Winni- peg and grew to be a power of the prairies, added glowing tributes to the list. Hon. Justice C. A. Masten, who has been an intimate friend of Sir Clifford Sifton since they were room-mates at Victoria college, Co- bourg, over B0.years ago, spoke yesterday with deep regret of his friend's death. He had not known that Sir Clif- ford's condition was serious and was. shocked when the news was broken to him, He said: "I ex- pected him home in a few days and hoped we would have a game of golf." Memories of college days togeth- er returned as he talked of his friend. "I think his greatest char- acteristic was his loyality to his friends," he said.

O f all men who have held high and prominent positions in the affairs of Canada sinte con- federation, none had rendered more valuable service to the dominion than he, In parliament he was a powerful debater and his able and affairs was of immense benefit to the country. Hig death is a na- tional loss." Were Students Together Justice W. R. Riddell said: "I knew him very well, for we were contemporaries at Victoria college, and deeply regret that he has gone, He was a keen student of political economy and Canadian history. A valuable asset in the political life of the country, who was highly re- spected for his great abilities and for his desire to do the right thing to further the best interests of the dominion and its citizens." George W. Beardmore, master of the Toronto and Eglington Hunt clubs, was grieved to hear of the death of Sir Clifford of whom he could not speak too highly. He was a great man and a great horse- man, a man who served his country faithfully and well, Mayor McBride said: "In the death of Sir Clifford Sifton, Can- ada has lost a great man, He ae voted all his life to the Interests of the dominion and put forth un- tiring efforts to promote its wel- fare." Sif Robert Borden sald: "I have learned with deep regret of the very sudden death qf Sir Clifford Sifton, whom I have known for more than 30 years. He was a man of remarkable, indeed excep- tional ability, of very strong char- acter, of great foresight and of wide vision. For many years in the House of Commons I opposed him strenuously. He was a redoubts able opponent and a powerful de- bater. Later in the reciprocity campaign of 1911, and throughout the war, I had his invaluable aid and co-operation. In 1911 it was suggested and indeed urged that he become a candidate, but he thoughs it better in the interests of the cause he had so much at heart that he should remain in the back- ground. From time to time dur- ing the war I consulted him on very difficult questions and I have a most grateful memory of his as- sistance, especially during the ex- tremely trying months of 1917." General A. D. McRae, chief Con- servative whip, said: "I regret very much to hear of the death of Sir Clifford Sifton. It was my privi- lege 25 years ago, when I was ac- tive in colonization work, to be very closely in touch with the de- partment of interior; and I may say, without any hesitation, thas the department which he directeu was one of the most efficient with which I have come into. contact. The deviopment of the west was due in no small degree to Sir Clif- ford's breadth of vision." Speaker Pays Tribute Hon.

We came to par- liament together in 1896, As a minister of the crown, he was cer- tainly very energetic. The prairie provinces owe him much of their development. No one was more familiar with the needs of western Canada, with the exception perhaps Frank Oliver. Though ndicapped in some respect by his firmity, as a debator in the house, was most direct and his cold lo- gic was overpowering. Sir Wilfrid Laurier admired his ability. They differed on a certain issue in 1905, and later on the gap widened, but with the old chief there never was any rancor." Loss To Canada © Winnipeg, April 18.--' The news of the sudden death of Sir Clifford Sifton comes as such a severe blow to me that I am absolutely unable to express adequately my feeling at the present moment," said Lieu- tenant-Governor J. D. McGregor. "I have known and have been so close- ly associated with Sir Clifford ever since we pioneered together in the early days of Brandon. I have so watched his career and so rejoiced as each successive honor was con- ferred upon him; I have enjoyed hig friendship to such a marked de- gree that his passing leaves me un- utterably sad. My admiration or his achievements is swallowed up in deepest grief at the loss of my friend." "Sir Clifford Sifton was a great force in his time," said H. A. Rob- son, K.C., leader of the provincial Liberal party. "His practical com- tribution to the settlement of the great west was inestimable in its value to the country. It was a pleasure to observe his great acu- men. He was a great Canadian and his loss will be seriously felt." Premier King's Tribute Ottawa, April 18.--'The death of Sir Clifford Sifton, which must come as a shock to the country, re- moves a foremost figure in our na- tional life," said Premier Mack~, enzie King in an expression of tri- bute. "Few public men have been more gifted in the variety of their btalents or in capacity for action. In law, in politics, in finance, in journalism, not to mention other spheres of activity. Sir Clifford Sif- ton's influence had long since come to be recognized as far-reaching and his position as outstanding. r. was widely versed in inter-imperia, and international affairs. Wit the more important political mov ments of the last 40 years and with the growth of Canada toward the fullness of nationhood, his name will always be identified. "Though differing from his party on more than one important issue, Sir Clifford never hesitated to assert hig firm belief in and ad- herence to Liberal principles and ideals. His death brings to mind the group of distinguished men by whom Sir Wilfred Laurier sure rounded himself in the formation of the Liberal ministry in 1896. It was due to his vigorous adminis- tration of the department of in- terior 'that immigration attained a large volume, that the settlemeny of the prairie country was rapidly advanced, and that it became one of the granaries of the world, thus giving impulse to the general pro- gress of Canada. He was a bold and original thinker. His views were broad. He never fndulged in petty or venomous criticism of po- litical opponents, and he was him- self unaffected by any kind of cri- ticism which was merely personal and did not go to.the root of tue policy he was advocating, I feel deeply the loss of one who has been a life-long personal and political friend." Born in Middlesx The youngest son of the late Hon. John Wright Sifton, he was born in London township, Middle- sex county. He attended Dundas collegiate, London high school and Victoria college, graduating from the latter in 1880, with his B.A. degree and winning the Prince of Wales gold medal. After taking the course at Osgoode hall he was called to the bar in 1882, and in C ds Checkec Arie 1905 was created a king's counsel. Early 'in life he had evinced an interest in Western- Canada which at that time was just beginning to assume an important part in Cana- dian affairs. Setting up practice at Brandon, Manitoba, he was soon appointed city solicitor and soli¢i- tor for the western judicial district. "Phrough contact with public life while occupying these positions, he became interested in the political growth of the west and in the Mani- toba election of 1888, accepted the nomination for North Brandon. This seat in the legislature he re- tained until 1896, when he joined the administration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Enters Federal Sphere . In 1896 he was elected federal member for Brandon, retaining the seat until his resignation from the Laurier administration in 1911. During that period he was minister of interior and superintendent of Indian affairs, and while occupying this portfolio instituted a vigorous immigration policy which resulted in a decided influx of settlers. In February, 1905, he had dif- ferences with Sir Wilfrid Laurier over the school administration of Alberta and Saskatchewan and re- signed his portfolio, Following severance of close re- lations with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Clifford fathered an aggressive campaign for the conservation of the natural resources of Canada and became chairman of the con- servation of natural resources com- mossion, a position which he held until 1916. High Light of His Career In 1911 came the high light of his career, Sir Wilfrid Laurier had announced his polic yof reciprocity, based on the Taft-Fielding agree ment. Sir Clifford immediately championed with all the vigor he commanded, a policy directly aa- verse to that of his former leader. He campaigned Canada and his coldly logical, direct method of ad- dress won many electors, To him, more than any other man, has been attributed the downfall of tuw Liberal administration which haa held power for many years, Following his retirement from political life he entered the wonld of finance and commerce, and im- mediately rose to the front ranks of the industrial life of the domin- fon. He became the largest stock- holder in the Canada Western Light, Heat and Power company, managing director of the Imperial Pulp and Paper company, and was interested in numerous other en- terprises. Owner of Newspapers Tn business life his activities were also felt through the press. He acquired the Manitoba Free Press and several other papers, and built up one of the strongest news chains in the dominion, owning papers throughout the western provinces. Despite his myriad commercial connection, he yet found time to engage in sport and became known internationally as one of Canada's Quick Pile Relief Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid is guaranteed to banish any form of Pile misery, or money back.

His stable was known ughout the continent, and he won high show ring honors, In 1903 he was elected president of the Ottawa Racing association, and was presi- dent of the 'National Bureau of Breeding in 1909. In 1884 he married 'Miss Eliza- beth Burrows of Ottawa, who pre- decased him three years ago. Five sons blessed the marriage, and the father .prided bh If on their suc- cess in. business life, That pride felt grief, however, in the death a few months ago of Major Winfield Sifton, his son, who also succumb- ed to heart affection. With Lady Sifton, the late Sir Clifford was presented at the cor- onation of King George and Queen Mary in Westminster Abbey In 1911. In the same year they were presented to their majesties at St. James, and while in England, again renewed the acquaintances which had been made while Sir Clifford was attending the imperial confer- ence in London in 1907. .
