' YEAR 790-NO. 201 be Bail ] KINGSTON, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912, LAST EDITION. THE MOWAT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WAS OPENED By the Hon. W. J. Hamma, the BUILDING THE BEST OF ANY OF THE KIND IN THE PROVINCE. Tribute Paid by Mr. Hanna to the Late Sir Oliver--Addresses by Dr. J. ©. Connell, Sherif Mowat, Dr. A. E. Ross, M.P.F., and J. G, Elliott, Chairman of the Ceres monies "It is work worth doing," said Hon. W. J, Hanna, provincial secretary, during the course of his address on Thursday afternoon, when he formally opened the Sir Oliver Mowat Memorial hospital, at "Kirkleatham," Ports- mouth, and these few words expressed the feeling of anyone in the large audience Jesu for the opening cere monies. The city has undertaken ao noble work, and the institution de clared open by Hon. Mr, Hanna now stands as a monument to the good . work commenced, and which will con: tinue, Ideal weather favored the opening exercises--in fact for the winter season, a better day could not have been' chosen, And everything in cofinection with the ings passed off very pleasantly. As stated in the Whig, a few days ago, the new hospital has received its first patient, in the person of Violet Bedore, of Sharbot Lake, and a coin cidence of the affair was that the Sen of the hospital occurred on ine ore's seventeenth birthday. While making an inspection of the > al, visitors paid a call to Miss Bedore's room, and left her a shaoring message. She is doing nice y. The speeches in cdpnection with the openi commenced shortly after three o'clock, but long before, a large crowd had gathered, and was shown through the aatiition by ae super: i x argaret. Mong, and | her staf. building and its equip- ment, was. muck admired, he all through the afternoon most favorable comments were made upon it. Reler ence has been made to the hospital, but a few more words are due at this point. ' Admirably Situated. In the first place, the hospital is admirably situated, on a hill, with beautiful grounds, from which a good view of the harbor and lake is secur. ed. Throughout the hospital, every- thing is most inviting. The bedrooms are upstairs, and one is a model. All the rooms, "recreation-rooms, din- ing-rooms, ete., are finished in white, and the furnishings have been chosen with great taste. In the large recrea- tion-room, where the addresses were delivered, there was a log-fire, and the room was quite cozy. Special atten: tion has been given to everything about the institution, and those hav- ing the work in charge, are to be con- gratulated. Of course, as time passes on, there will be many more changes, bat as the building stands to-day, it ia an ideal one for the service it will be called upon to er. Reference should also be made to the two shacks, erected close to the main building. They will be in a posi- tion fo do good work. Then, again, as an additional equipment, the institu- tion has eattle of its pwn, as well as poultry, and this counts for some- thing, in the running of the hospital. A great deal could Be said about the institution and its equipment, but space will not perinis. Every citisen should visit it. The best way to get ni § of the building and grounds is to make an inspection, and the general public is extended an invitay tion to make this inspection: The occasion was marked by the prosence of Hon. Mr. Hanaa, who de clared the i Kingston, but also to the entire t district. Dr. J. C. Conuell Speaks. At the close of his remarks Mr. Elliott called upon Dr. Connell who in an interesting manner gave a re view of the work of the association. He said that the hospital was now open, and those in charge of the man- agement of the institution would welcome criticism; it belonged to the citizonw, the board simply taking it over as a trust, Continuing, Dr. Connell spoke of the white plague, the sanitorinm treatment it had re- ceived, and the good results which had followed. In the start off, trou- ble had been experienced in financing the work, and as a result cases of tuberculosis had to be treated in the homes, with the result that they be- came a menace io others. However, later on, people commenced to show interest in the work. The Children's Aid Society was one body that took a great interest and did good work. Dr. Connell stated that Dr. Druce Smith, the inspector of public in- stitutions, had stated that eventually more room would be required at the hospital, and it would be required to serve the city and a great portion of this® district. The property con- sisted of thirty-two acres; of which there were eight acres for enltivation. Speaking of the new hospital Ir. Bruce Smith had stated thatit had all other institutions of the kind "beaten." There was not one that had as gopd a site as this. It could be easily reached; it was isolated, well lighted, with good drainage and water supply. The: latter, thanks to the provincial secretary, had been provided from Rockwood Hospital, Sums of money, received for the opening of the hospital, were then toforred to by the speaker, and tri bute was paid to the Daughters of the Empire and the ladies of Ports mouth for their help. Without the aid 'of the Daughters of the Empire it would not have heen yasible to have carried on the work, Special reference was also made to the good work of Dr. E. Ryan and Dr. Ross, of 'Rockwood Hospital, who had ren- dered valuable assistance in having the extension of the water pipe to the hosnital carried out. The outlook for the future was most encouraging. Offers of assist- woes had been roscived -from™ many quarters. Money had been offerad for the erection of two new ' cot tages. This was, indeed, most en- couraging. And all this was in the face of no canvass Deing made. He said that early in the™mew year il would be necessary to call upon somgp who had promised to help. The first three years would be the most strenuous in esrrying on the work, He was pleased to announce that the hospital was starting out free from debt. Sufficient money had been on hand to pay all the bills. This annoutcement was received with applause. Dr. Connell then read a letter from Dr. Bruce Smith. The latter had in- tended to be present at the pro- ceedings but could pot attend. How- aver, last Saturday he had made an inspection of the hospital and he congratulated the members of the as sociation on having erected such - a well-equipped building. The Insti- tution, he said, would give as good care as institutions elsewhere, - and would aldo 'serve as a great educa tional centre. {Continued on page 8.) R.&0.

Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 13.--The eagerness of a hound owned by Albert Bailey to go, after rabbits cost the life of his master, a well-to-do farmer, who resided near here.

Graham Challenges the Government to Go to the People on the Issue. Ottawa, Dec. 13.--~In ome of the greatest speeches of his career -- a speech dignified, brilliant, eloquent, logical, sanely Canadian and sanely Imperial--Sir Wilirid Laurier enuncia- ted anew the policy of effective and permanent Canadian fleet units in the British navy. Instead <i a policy of contribution and of hiring out our de- fence at the expense of the Dritish tax- payer, he proposed that the ¥35,000,- 000 asked for by Premier Borden should be devoted to the immediate 'creation of two fleet units, one on the Atlantic and one ou the Pacific coast, manned and maintained by Canadians, guarding our own shores and ready to co-operate with the Imperial fleet In time of stress in any part of the world. Sir Wilfrid spoke one hour and a half, evoking time and agsin the tu- multuous and persistent cheers of his followers, and concluding with an amendment to the government regpblu- tion, reiterating the consistent liberal attitude on the cognate questions of responsible government und participa- tion in Imperial defence, and declaring for a permanent Canadian naval pol. icy along the lines of the resolution unanimously passed by parliament in March, 1909, prior to the unholy al- liance of nationalists and conserva- tives, A Spectacular Scene. A remarkable demonstration follow- ed his eloquent peroration, Liberal rose and fed in the singing of he national anthem, in which the whole house joined, while crowded gal- leries looked on. 'I'he sceme wii per- haps even more spectacular 'and the interest keener than on the introduct- ion of the naval bill by Premier Dor-) den last Thursday. On the floor of the chamber practically every seat was occupied, while in the galleries not an inch of standing room was léit. The Old 'Chief was at bis best. 'Ihe sub- ject was one on which he could speak; with the assurance of a life-long con- sistency and broad Canadian and lm- perial statesmanship, as opposed to the political expediency of the govern: ment proposals. Sir Wultrid's argument and his con- clusions make a clear-cut issue. From the admiralty memorandum he show- ed that there was no "emergency," that no "'peril," immediate or pros- pective, confronted Britain, and that the moral to be driwn Irom the facts submitted by the admiralty was that the ships called from the outlying do- minions for concentration in the orth Sea should be replaced by vessels built, equipped, manned and main- tained by the dominions concerned Hon. Mr. Hazen, who followed, de- voted most of hia time to endeavoring to demonstrate tha. an emergency did exist, and that there was no need for evolving a permanent policy for the mt, He glossed over the larger issue presented by Sir Wilind, that of Canadian control of Canada's defence by land and sea Hon. George P. Graham. Hon. George P. Graham followed Hon. D. Hazen in a vigorous speech in the evening. The people of Canada, he said, would approach the consideration of this important sub- ject sensed of their duty and respgn- sibility as British subjects, and "of their rights and privileges as Cana- dians. Mr. Hazen had championed a policy of inactivity and inability. He had talked about being represented on the firing line of the Pritish navy. He would have Canada represented on the fifing line of a resolution, not on the firing line of real defence. What did the Englishman who had 1 this afternoon by Dr. Michael Clark, of Red Deer. Sir Wilfrid's Amendment, Sir Wilfrid Laurier's amendmect to the mavy msolution of the pre . mier is as follows: "That all the words after 'th be slruck out and the following substituted therefor:-- "This House declines to concur in the sald resolution, and orders that the same be referred back to the committee, with instructions to amend it in the following particu- lars: -- "Vis, to strike out all the words after clause 'A' and substitute therefor the following: -- The mem- orandum prepared by the Board of Admiralty on the general navy situ- ation of the empire, and communi- cated tq this House by the Hon. the Prime Minister on December §, shows that several of the most im- portant of the foreign powers have adopted a definite policy of rapidly increasing their naval strength. " 'That this condition bas com- pelled the United Kingdom to con- centrate its naval forces in howmn waters, involving the withdrawals of ships from the outlying portions of the empire. i " "That such withdrawal readers it necessary that Canada without further delay, should suter actively upon a permanent policy d naval defence " 'That any measure of Canadian aid to Imperial naval defence which does not embody a permanent policy of participation" in slips owned manned, and maintained by Canada, and contemplating construction as soon as possible in Canada, is ni an adequate or satisfactory expres- sion of the aspirations of the Cana- dian people in regard to naval de- fence, and is not an assumption hy Canada of her fair share in the maintenance of the naval strength of the empire. " "This house regrets to learn the intention of the government to indefinitely postpone the carrying out by Canada of a permanent naval policy. "It is the opinion of thix House that measures should be taken at the present session to give effect, ac- tively and speedily, to the perman- ent naval policy embodied in the Naval Service Act of 1910, passed pursuant to the resolution . unani- moudly approved by this house in March, 1809, "*"This house is further of the opinion that to increase the powers and mobility of the imperial navy by the addition by Canada under the above act of fleet units to | be stationed upon the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada, respec- tively, than by a contribution ot | money or ships, is the policy best calculated to afford relief to the United Kingdom in respect of the burden 'of impewial naval defence, and, in the words of the'admiralty memorandum, to 'restores greater freedom to the movements of the British squadrons in every sea and directly promote the security of the dominions,' and that the ' govern- ment of Canada should take such steps as shall lead to the accom- plishment of this purpose as speed- ily as posible.' mmr om ~ Clause "A" in Premier Borden's resolution referred to above reads as follows: "That from and out of the Consolidated Révéhiue Fund of Canada there may be paid and ap- plied a sum not exceeding $85,000 - 000 for the purpose of immediately increasing the effective naval forces of te empire."
