LIVINGSTON'S 75-79 BROCK STREET "If Of Your Route It Pays To Walk" * FROM THE VISITORS GALLERY. Tuesday's Debate in the Ontario Legislature. { It is only two o'clock but already the ushers in the Visitors' Galleries | are hard pressed to make sitting | room for one more, please, on those | {crowded, uncomfortable benches. | Nickle is to speak, and the perspir- ing rows of spectators patiently fol-| {low the antics of the page boys who |are attempting to slide on the august {cocoa-nut matting of the Legislative | Assembly. Such a temperature in| {summer would set every one to fan- | ning themselves, but because the | tmonth happens to be February they | |nurse their overcoats and Swelters | without 1fting a hand. Two or three Kingston people and over half a doz- | en Queen's graduates can be distin- guished in that upholstered hen-roost. Mrs, Nickle takes her seat in the centre of the Member's Gallery and finds vent for her suspense in ani- mated conversation accompanied by the play of flying needles. But despite that she seems aware that an exalted personage is about to make history-- or does one merely imagine this? The | ancient sergeant-at-arms moves about | and pauses to be agreeable to a group of ladies no longer young who might nevertheless be his grand-daughtersa "I wonder how many heads he has cut off with that tin swort of his?" chuckles a farmer. It is five minutes past three. "Oh, dear," sighs an auburn haired young lady re-arranging a lapful of text books, "I wish they'd come. I'm so hot!" Many of the members are in their seats and every little while a) letter is flipped on the floor and snapped up by a page. At last they come, led by the ser- geant-at-arms carrying the gold mace and followed by the speaker clad in gown and three-cornered hat. The speaker mounts to his chair and be- gins to read the prayers. One is so accustomed to having this duty per- formed . by ministers only that it seems rather impertinent for a lay- man--even one in a cocked hat---thus publicly to address the Almighty. A number of bills are introduced in rapid succession, the one by Mr. Mc- Keown on Church Union starting a momentary hum. An echo of the Stanley Barracks. affair is put to sleep and suddenly Mr. Nickle is speaking. The seats on either side are empty and the only other one on his left is occupied by a very satisfied looking premier. Under his left hand stands an imposing stack of port- folios and documents, a page places water at his right while behind him the gallery leans forward to catch his flying words. Mr. Nickle opens with congratula- tions to the newly-elected speaker and with no change of tone suavely EE -- ~ ANDERSON'S | tay--Lagrrt Serie Retail Market Phones 408-459.

It is a mouth-filing phrase and he employs it repeatedly and with relish. As he draws a picture of the starry-eyed child of tem attending his first political meeting the House smiles 'and then roars. The speaker is struggling to maintain the gravity which his position demands. Those in the gallery who do not happen to know the member for West Ottawa feel that the true flavor of the ridi- cule is belng lost on them. When this member has been smartly slapped and dismissed an arm and pointed fore-finger shoot out towards the 3 in store for them. Mr. Doherty fid- {gets and toys with a pencil or a pink | news sheet while the other braces his {elbow on his desk and rests his head {on his palm, Mr. Nickle waves aloft the finan- | cial statement of the preceding Gov- ernment and alternately raps it and points with his free hand. It is un- fortunate that one is reminded of identical gestures by a vendor of pat- ent medicines one summer, evening long ago on a Sudbury street corn- er. He challenges the Progressiva leader to use his pencil and check his statements. Instead of accepting, Mr. Doherty makes frequent asides across | Mr. Raney's empty seat. a Mr. Nickle is as much thé master of the situation as is a shadow box- er. He is quick on his feet, prepares his openings carefully, lashes out with stinging phrases or battérs with massed millions. There i8 a consum- mate cleverness about it that is the delight of all but his victims. But whether the performance carries con- viction or not seems to depend more on the listenér's politics than on Mr. Nickle's logic. For the whole busi- ness rings as hollow as the provincial treasure-chest. The money is gone and this is merely an attempt to prove that the others spent it. But it is excellent jugglery. His supporters pound their desks at every oppor- tunity. The premier pencils him a note which he reads without inter- rupting his argument. Apparently though the strain is telling for the {sheet trembles as he reads. The time has come+to draw out the Progressive leader who sits glower- ing in his seat. "Whatever else my friend the late minister of agricul- ture may. be he is not slow witted,"" declares Mr. Nickle. "And yet I notice that he has not a word to say!" Instantly he drops into his seat to allow his more heavy oppon- ent to tumble into this pitfall. Mr, Doherty, rather red with conflicting emotions, proclaims that his silence springs from gentlemanly instincts which impell him to-allow a speaker to finish, no matter how wrong his statements may be. He.ls done for. In a flash Mr. Nickle has stabbed him with his own phrase and glides along to his peroration and takes his seat amid enthusiastic applause from all but the Progressives. The late hour and a lengthy maid- en speech combine to empty the gal- leries of all but a few who hope to hear from Mr. Raney, who has just arrived. With only a minute or two left Mr. Doherty takes the Yloor and begins a statement to which the premier object on a point of order. But the other is allowed to conclude what the premier characterizes as a most unfair infraction of the rules of the House. "Not at all," declares Mr, Rafiey. "One would not expect the late attorney-general to notice any ir- regularities," retorts the premier. But the chair is vacated and the exits are thronged. "We've been listening to Mr. Nickle," calls one co-ed to another across the snow-banks of St. George street. '""He's the most independent man," answers the other. "Oh, he's wondértul!" the first. exclaims Progressive benches and the real work begins. Mr. Raney Is absent but! Messrs.
