Fraser. Ottawa, June 24, ---- There are many things in the parliamentary life of Canada which those who have {had experience on intimate knowl- edge of the other of Parliaments at | Westminster will find strange; and there are features of life there which are missing here. The amenities of political life, in particular, have not been very much cultivated at Ot- tawa. The Briton takes his political life, like his athletics, in a sporting spirit which is too often missing here. It is true that in the British 1 House, particularly during the time | when there was a large representa- tion of Irish members, and feeling ion the Home Rule question ran high, {large bluebooks and other missiles were hurled across the floors of the House accompanied by very unparli- amentary language. Such a degree of lack of control has never been witnessed at Ottawa, where there never has been any general mele, al- though members have at times re- quested others to 'step outside' and Sir John A. Macdonald is on record "lick that fellow Smith (Sir Donald); quicker than Hell would scorch a feather." But the general feeling be- tween opposing political parties -- particularly the two older partifes-- is apparently very much less friend- ly here than it is in the old country. There, as may be repeatedly noted in books of political reminiscences, men on opposite sides who have baen attacking each other in what seems like an acrimenious manner, walk away from the House together arm- {in-arm, or meet at some private { home "later in the evening to enjoy {in uproarious fashion the things they have said about each other an hour or two before. There is no such comaraderie In | nolitics here in Canada. In the House Mr. Meighen sits glowering at tha | leader of the government, and the | latter is always ready to reply in re- | sentful tone to any advance the lead- jer of the Opposition may make. | They do, it is true, ask each other {to official or semi-official Yunctions {over which they have control, but that is about as far as their inter- course extends. Politics with them appears to be a career in which there must be war to the knife. 17 the always gdod-natured Mr. Crera- remains long enough in the game and takes it up as a life avocation, he will probaply find himself infect- ed with the same virus eventually. To a large extent, this feeling ap- phes to the respective followers of the different leaders. Quite fre- quently there is some irresponsibly "good fellow' who is persona grata with all parties, and mixes on terms of fellowship with his opponents; but, as a rule, "the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans," and there are even men in all parties who go so far as to look with suspic- ion on the opponent who makes ad- vances in comradeship, suspecting the possibility of his being a spy. Unhappily, parliament is not im- proving with age; and in its new ex- pensive, but wretchedly planned home, the tendency is towards fur- ther isolation of parties and of mem- bers rather than the reverse. In the oid parliamentary buildings, whether by chance or by inspiration, the architect had managed things so that there was every opportunity for mingling and the promotion of good- fellowship. There was also--and it cannot be denied that it helped to thaw the frozen currents of genial souls--.he bar, and all that it con- noted. All this is gone. In this marble palace there are acres of room, magnificent distances, and lit- tle or no acquaintanceship., When the House is dismissed the members scurry away to their remote corners like rabbits to their burrows. There are lobbles of striking grandeur, but nobody uses them. The place is all to big, and too much of a maze; and for the old gatherings of men of all parties around the festive bowl, where rich nuggets of parliamentary gossip could often be glanced, there is substituted the air of the hermit- age, with members cooped up by themselves, and any convivialty of a very selfish character. It may be suggested by the advocates of a dry Canada that this all makes for effic- fency. Well, the records of parlia- ment are before the world, and will speak for themselves. Certainly, the romance and the good-fellowship are largely gone. The nearest approach to general kindliness witnessed this session was on the occasion of the fortieth anmi- versary of the entrance to political life of Hon. W. 8. Fielding. The Minister of Finance is probably the most outstanding figure in parlia- ment. He stands with a firm foot on the parliamentary history of two centuries; and his undoubtedly great bold on the House and on the country is founded on a great respect for him as a man and a parliamentarian. One year younger than Sir rge Foster, they both entered political life in the same year, 1882, and both have been valiant fighters for their respective parties. Last year, Sir George en- tered the Senate, the Valhalla of old political watriors; Mr. Fielding still fights on, holding the most onerous portfolio in the government. He de- livered his sixteenth budget speech this year, and a few weeks later cele- brated his fortieth year in the poli- tical wild On both ns he was made the recipient of quite unusual tributes from all sides of the House, and there Was more expression of kffidly feeling than is often seen, especially from opponents, There could be no doubt of the genuineness of the good wishes expressed, which were ex- tracted by admiration and respect rather than love, because Mr. Fiela- as having expressed his ability to | men's affection. So far as is known, {he has never had an intimate friend, {and no one has ever got back of the ! reserve, verging on royal dignity, with which he has always surround- ed himself. Yet he will leave a re- |putation in parliament for courtesy | to opponents rarely equalled, and an | ability to take care of himself in any situation which is the admiration ot every politician. sumed that Mr (from the cabinet before long, and it {is understood to be his Intention to quite nnusual interest stored memory for men, and from the Senate grants, | derfully levents, and incidents; seclusion which the Brunswick, he could round out his experiences. ILLUMINATED ADDRESS FOR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Express Their Appreciation at Kindness. The Frontenac Council No. 728, Knights of Columbus have received |from the patients at Sydenham hos- | I pital an illuminated address express- | ling their warm appreciation of ths gifts of cigarettes, tobacco, pipes, chocolates, cards, and other comforts which have been supplied by this or- ganization, The address reads in part as follows: "To the officers, members- and donors of funds of the Canadian Branch of K. of C--We,; the patients at present in Sydenham hospital, and on behalf of former patients of this institution, desire to place on record our warm appreciation of the gifts of cigarettes, tobacco, pipes, cards, and other comforts which have been dis- tributed weekly with unbroken re- gularity, highly commendable for those whose immediate duty it was to do this work; and also for other comforts such as concerts, boat ex- cursions and other entertainments which have been dispensed to us." "We are aware that the funds which made such generosity possible were the proceeds of a drive organ- ized throughout the Dominion to provide for the needs of the soldiers overseas and returned men, and we beg respectfitlly to congratulate the officials in charge of these funds on the manner in which they "have ful- filled their trust in applying all the nioneys so obtained for the purposes for which they were collected. The address was signed on behalf of the patients by R. M. Reid, T. D. Hussey and F. Nixon. The address has been framed and placed in the Knights of Columbus council chamber. The appreciation of the address was expressed in a let- ter to the patients on behalf of the officers and members of the Fronte- nac council as well as on behalf of all donors to the Catholic Army Hut fund. 4 TRY, TRY AGAIN. } 3 Every man is taught from earliest childhood the great importance of "keeping at it."' Try again, some one was sure to say to the youngster who showed signs of quitting. When that youngster grows up he has peraistency, courage, hope and faith In himself, He takes all of those qualities with him in business; he uses all of them, especially per- sistency. He uses persistency in his advertising where it is all important, because advertising finds the best market and eells goods to best ad- vantage.

Held Confirmation and Dedication Services. A beautiful, impressive and sol- emn service was held in St. Paul's church, Sydenham, on Sunday last, 18th inst.,, when Rt. Rev. Dr. Bid- well made his annual visit to the parish of Loughboro and administer- ed the apostolic rite of confirmation or laying ont of hands, The incumbent, Rev. T. Leech, M. A., presented the candidates, eight in all, and a large congregation was present. The bishop's sermon, whick was very impressive, was clear, definite, eloguent and stressed the fact that could St. Paul have been present on the occasion he would have witness- ed the very same rite as recorded in the eighth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles administered nearly nine- teen centuries ago. John Sedgwick was the soloist for the occasion. In the afternoon service was held at St. Peter's church, Harrowsmith, a large congregation being present, when the bishop dedicated a beauti- ful memorial window erected by the late Mrs. W. J. Watts to "the Glory of God and in loving memory of her late husband and adopted son, the late Pte. Jobn L. Watts, a returned soldier from the Great War." Bishop Bidwell then motored to Gananoque for evening service. If there should be a promt from Chautauqua, July 1st to 7th, it will be used by the Rotary Club in com- munity welfare work. It could be used to no bétter purpose. There- fore support it. Ye pull down the old to Hulld the new, riag out the old, ring 'a the new. It is a dangerous thing to dig pits for other folks.
