John Oliver, Premier of British Columbia, # at present on a trip to eastern Canada during which he intends to visit Ottawa. While there the chances are that he will call at Rideau Hall and pay his respects to the Governor-General. There is a peculiar topsy-turvy as- peet to this visit. For Mr. Oliver's family were tenants of the Duke of Devonshire's grandfather, small yeo- man farmers of Devonshire. He was born at Hartington, from which the, heir of the duke takes his title as Marquis "of Hartington, in 1858. Now, as premier of a Canadian pro- vince Mr. Oliver has the right to meet the duke on a footing of some- thing like equality. There is a deal of romance in the story of this English farm boy who rose to be premier. He never went to school after ten years of age; from that time he helpbd his mother keep a poultry farm of six acres. At fourteen he came to Canada with his parents and settled in Maryboro township, Wellington county, On- tario, In 1876, at 21 years of age, he received from his father $100, and went to British Columbia, where he took a homestead. Survey- ing for the C.P.R., farming and con- tracting, John Oliver gradually, quietly made good. First councillor of his parish, then reeve, then mem- ber of the Legislature, and later pre- mier, this hard-working, uneducated man made his way onwards and up- wards by honest worth. His journey to power is the slow, & climb of rugged merit rather than the sen- sational jumping of quick genius. There is scarcely a high light in his career; it is a succession of sombre tones. Robert Oliver, the Hon. John's father, is still living with his som James, on the south line of Arteme- sia township, near Flesherten. An- other brother, Joseph, lives nearby. -------------- Practical Utllily Breeding. for practical utility | should be the Zim of the farm ultry keeper, regardless of whether Be ck is kept for the production of meat and eggs or with a view to sales of breeding stoek. ---- p-------------------- Any who doesn't care how her hate Jogks In the back Js despeps ashy ll, OTR' SPEAKER'S CHAIR. | Origin of Gift to Canada From British Commons. The Right Hon. James W. Lowe they visited Canada to present to the ® Canadian Parliament = the Speaker's chair that is the gift of the { British members to replace the one | destroyed by the fire of February, 1918. Addressing the annual meeting of the .Empire Parllamentary associa- j tion in Westminster Hall recently Mr. Lowther discussed the origin of the gift. 'It was," he declared, "the happy thought of Mr. Percy Hurd, M.P. Feeling that some such ems+ blem of Imperial goodfellowship should Have its place -in- the new Canadian Commons: building, Mr. Hurd, when visiting Ottawa in Sep- tember, 1919, consulted the Cana- dian speaker, the Hon. N. Rhodes, M.P. Acting in a purely personal and informal way as a private mem- ber of the British House of Com- mons, he asked Mr. Rhodes whether the Canadian Commons would be likely to welcome the gift from members of the British Commons of a replica of the chair or table of the British House. Mr. Rhodes said most emphatically that they would. In the Canadian chamber the table has not the parliamentary signifi cance attaching to the table in the British chamber, by reason of the fact that each Canadian Minister and | member has his own desk. Hence the greater suitability of a replica of the chair as a gift. There has also been this difference in British and Canadian procedure that in Canada it has been the custom to regard the chair as the personal property of the Speaker at the end of his term of Mr. Hurd his belief that were so gracious an offer made by the Brit- ish Commons the Canadian Commons manent feature of the House. Upon his return to England Mr. Hurd enlisted the ready support of the leader of the British House of Comuons, Mr. Bonar'Law, and the | movement was shortly afterwards | taken up and carried to a successful | Issue by the United Kingdom | branch of the Empire Parliamentary | Association, of which Sir Howard | @'Egville is the zealous secretary. It is understood that a brass plate will be affixed to the chair to com- | memorate the circumstances of the gift and its presentation by the | Speaker. Behind the chair in the Canadian House will be seen a | screed which is being. designed by | | 8ir Frank Baines, Director of Works | | of H. M. Office of Works, who has undertaken request of J. A. Pearson, architect of the Canadian Parliament Build- ings, and at the expense of the Canadian Government. It should be addeéd that the chair has been sub- scribed for by members of all par- ties in the British Parliament-- Unionists, Liberal and Labor. The Royal Arms over the chair are carv- ed out of the original oak from the roof of Westminster Hall, which is believed to date back to the reign of Rufus. "The new chair will be," to quote Mr. Lowther again, 'an outward and visible tokem of the similarity and continuity of our Parliamentary tra- ditions as between this country and Canada." Sir Robert Borden, the then Prime Minister of Canada, in accepting. the offer of the chair, spoke of it as "another illustration of the spirit of comradeship" be- tween two Parliaments which are "united by the ties of like inatitu- tions and traditions, and of common allegiance"; and Mr. Mackenzie King, leader of the Canadian Opposi- tion, said: "If there is one.thing above another we in Canada have reason to be proud of and to be grateful for, it is that our constitu- | tion and parliamentary institutions | are, to all intent and purposes, a | replica of the constitution and par- | Hamentary institutions of the moth- er of parliaments in the old world. | A visible sign of this great invisible | | which make for that unity we all | desire in those things which are fundamental to liberty and to the preservation of it." ---------------------- His Idea of Marriage. He was crusty and rude, but as a celebrity he was entitled to indul- gence in these matters. And his pretty hostess was not one to shirk any conversational encounter with him, "Tell me, Mr. Highbrow," she in- quired, "what is your idea of mar- riage?" The celebrity frowned. "Madam," he replied, "my idea of marriage is very much the same kind of vague but inarticulate protest as a dog's conception of a tin can that is tied to his tail!" ------------ King's Gift to 21st. At a meeting of the 21st Battalion Club, at Kingston, Lieut.-Col. H. T. Pense announced the receipt of the silk "Union Jack, the gift of his Ma- Jesty the King, to the battalion. It will be consecrated at an early date by Major W. T. Kidd, M.C., battalion chaplain and the Battalion clubs at Ottawa and Peterboro, will be con- sulted as to its disposal. A Universal Game.
