Alter church the villagers would crowd around to give the glad hand to the distinguished Canadian statesman, As a rule he wore a black froek coat with vest, the dapels lined w a white frill. His collar was straight and high, while his tie was so and broad that you could not see his shirt. "It literally choked up the, opening of his vest with its splen- dor. The crease of his trousers was always perfect. His boots were the old-fashfoned elastic-sided ones. Whatever divergence of view as to Sir Wilfrids policies "existed, he was always honored and respected. In Parliament he was the doyen, and its most picturesque figure. He was there forty-five' years, and without him the place unquestion- ably will not seem the same. An Outstanding Canadian, = Sir William Hearst, Premier of Ontario, paid the following tribute; "I sincerely regret to learn of the death of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who has been for so long a distinguished figure in the affairs of this country. In very many respects he was an une usual man, with a rémarkable talent and culture, He had a very strong hold on the affections of his own province and people, and was in every sense an outstanding Canadien of undoubted purity of life and chaps acter, brilliant as an orator and the idol of his friends." "1 have learned with deepest gret of the death of Sir Wilfrid," said Hon. N. W. "Rowell.

Creelman, K.O;, went to Montreal as chief counsel for the C€.P.R., in 1901, he prevailed upor Mr. Beatty to go along with him, as one of his associatés. In less than five years' time--on July 1st, 1905, Mr. Beatty was appointed assistant solicitor of the C.P.R. and five years later his aptitude for «corporation law and railway operation had so ' impressed C.P.R. directors that his appointment as chief solicitor did nok-€ause any surprise. In a dopartment which 'specializes in defensive law, the young executive encountered real battles and found a. stepping stone to larger activities. And the hand of filte made Edward Beatty one of the most effective and necessary units of efliciency in the C.P.R. organization.' Id 1914 he became chief counsel and vice president, and was considered by some as Canada's foremost corporation lawyer and one of the strong yailway men of the Dominion. Mr. Beatty's appointment to the presidency of the C.P.R. was forecasted last September and took place shortly afterwards, . * , Mp Beatty 1s one of the most likeable and approchable men that has ever occupied a Canadian raflway president's chair, From the days when he was a student a) Tbronto University, where he captained the football team, right yp to the present time he has had a« host of ds, for, unlike many public men, he has continued to keep the fri ips made in early life. i - He is a prodigious worker, and no matter where he is, on trains or in other cities; he works with as much concentration as if he were in his awn office in Montreal.

The state of public sentiment in Am- erica, England, Australia and Canada has impressed their representatives here of the necessity of taking steps to return the soldiers home, which cannot be accomplished entirely in ad- vance of the conclusion of the peace treaty, No feasible plan for settling Russian question has developed dur- ing two days of hearings given the subject by the supreme war council. The effort will be resumed to-day, but the weight of epinfon in the council seems opposed to amy plan involving the use of force or any extension of the present military activities, even if the Prinkipo conference fails. gat BRITISH LABOR CONFERENCE ---- To Be Convened in London on Feb, : Lo Teh.

Later he conducted a tinning 'business here in company with Wil- liam Corliss, and then with a son conductéd a hardware store until 1913, when he retired.

The passing from the political arena of Sir Wiltrid Laurier recalls e analogy of the death of Sir Joh cdonald in June, 1891. In Parlia- ent at that time Sir Wilfrid's was /the most notable tribute. He said: "In his death he seems 'to have been singularly happy. Twenty years ago I was told by one who was a close personal political friend of Sir John A. Macdonald that in the intim- acy of his domestic circle he was fond of repeating that his end would be as the end of Lord Chatham, that . -. TORONTO WINTER REQORD.
