A few eyes laz- turned in his direction, the voice the lone debater droned on, and tne interruption ended before it had 10 guardian of the occasion was J Glackmeyer, familiarly known to the House as the sergeant at-arms, and a figure who has been associated longer with Ontario legis lative proceedings than present mem bers of the assembly well realize Tt 48th year in which he has served in his capacity, and many political reputation has risen and failed during his tenure. Men whe are remembered now througt their' association with the basic sta- tutes of the province plac on the records years ago, talked from the benches in the vigor of their prime and then passed out--some te obliv ion, and. some to honorable memory The appellation, sergeant-at-arms to convey Lo the mind ol the an entirely different con from that corresponding tx One might Be led to expect the vigion of a short, chunky, red-faced any Kind = red carpet le 8¢ to the Immediately 8 is.the a only ed glranger | officer bristling with importance, and resplendent in scarlet and gold lace As a matter of fact ithe contrast tween the fact and the popular con ception is as sharply drawn as could There is no splendor about Mr Glackmeyer; his trappings are not brilliant, and his demeanor is not os- tentatious. He has a dignity that 1s unassuming but none the Tess im- pressive. Looking down from the galleries on formal occasions visitors are wont to ask, "Who is the benevolent-look ing old gentleman in uniform?" For if there is one outstanding character: istic he possesses,'it is a kindliness and gentleness of expression. He fairly beams with sympathy for his fellowman, and to new members coming in from outside' pmints where a knowledge of Parliamentary con- stitution is mainly gleaned from local political conventions, he is a guide, philosopher and friend. There is no one more familiar with constitutional procedure than the sergeant-at-arme. He is the embodi ment of decoruni as he carries the Speaker's mace, a long ornate instru ment, to its place on the table, or removes it as the House rises in the evening., While the legislative ses- sion-is under way his duties are. more or less formal, concerning as they do the carryving-on of the routine of the House. But doing the year he is a sort of honorary bodyguard of the Speaker, and a capable authority on the management of the social func tiong which provide so brilliant part of Ontario Parliamentary life, Although even frequenters of the gallery and those most conversant with the doings of Ontario statesmen in the last fifteen years are not gen erally aware of it, there is a cere mony of the Legislature that with one exception, has not been perform ed since the Assembly moved to Queen's Park from the old be- a Front street site many years ago. No man has been called to the Bar for dishonorable conduct. It would be a safe guess to say that of all those who take a casual interest in provincial doings the great major- ity are in ingorance of the fact that there is an official bar before which offenders may be summoned.

It is also a matter of great credit to the pro- vince.

Ross, Sir James Whitney and Hon. Ww. H.
