N= RED PITT, DRYDEN, Ont. 02 December 10th, at Monireal, Death stilled the keen mind which for forty-two years had been ever at the disposal of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the strong hand which for twenty years had held the lever of that gigantic machine, the gallant heart which had ever been attuned to the music of the giant company's locomotives. Taking away Lord Shaughnessy, he took away with him the last of the old guard of the great pioneers of Canada's ploneer trans-continental. The de- parture of this monumental man is significant of the changing times, & mark of the Dominion's passing into manhood. The details of Lord Shaughnessy's truly wonderful career have been re- capitulated so often of late that thers is little need to run over them here. Born in 1853, at Milwaukee, of Irish ancestry, he studied for the law, felt the lure of great railway work, en- tered the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway as clerk at the age of sixteen, and in ten years .ose to the position of General Storekeeper. In 1882, when Sir William Van Horne took over the management of the Canadian Pacific Railway, he at once engaged the young man he had known with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, offering him the position of General Purchasing Agent. Two years later came the promotion to Assistant General Manager, in 1891 the Vice-Presidency, and in 1898 the Presidency. This position he held until 1918, when he retired to accept the office of Chairman of the Board of Directors, which he retained to Mean- while came many honours--in 1901, a Knight Bachelor, in 1907 a Knight Commander of the Victorian Order, in 1916 a Baron, and high appoint- ments in the many civil organiza- tions in'which he was interested. Lord Shaughnessy was a man of vision, of tremendous energy, brill- iant and incisive, a great executive, a great financier--almost everything but a politician. Canada will never realize the full extent of what it owes to the stead- fast faith, buoyant optimism, fore- sight and sheer hard work of Lord Shaughnessy in his desire to build up Canada through the agency of the vast company he headed. Lord Shaughnessy was unsurpassed as an administrator. His discipline was strict but tempered with justice, kindliness and a keen sense of humor which made his followers love him. His attitude towards Labour was well known. It was rightly said by the company's employees that any dis- pute might safely be left to him, and his frequent pronouncements in fav- our of giving the workingman as ~reat an opportunity for self-im- ~~ovement and enjoyment as the em- _loyer caused the employer of the The late Right Honorable Lord Shaughnessy, First Baron Shaugh- nessy of Montreal and of Ashford, Lowy Limerick, Ireland, K.C.V.0., F.R.C.I. old school to tremble. Finally, he 'was a great Canadian amd a great believer in the British Empire. From all parts of the world have come stirring tributes to this leader among men. H. M. the King cabled Lady Shaughnessy as follows: "The Queen and I are grieved to hear of your bereavement, in which we offer you our sincere sympathy We shall always preserve the-pleas- antest memoriés of Lord Shaugh- nessy and of Lis unfailing kindness and consideration, both to ourselves and to members of my family." H R. H. the Prince of Wales, His Excel- lency the Governor-General and the Hon. W. H. Taft, ex-President and now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, stand out among the thousands who also cabled or wired their tributes. From the Press came such appre- ciations as this, published by the Montreal Star: "Great builders are few and the British Empire counts herself fortunate in the long roll of brilliant servants who have spent themselves unsparingly in her in- terests. . . . These builders are few because in them are assembled many talents, great aspirations (often seemingly contradictory) and idio- gsyncracies of temperament that, leavened with unselfishness, the noblest gift of the gods, make up that indefinable quality which the world calls greatness. They are men of far vision and of the rugged de- termination that refuses to he balked by imposing obstacles, with an in- finite capacity for work and a joy in its accomplishment; men who can dream great things and impress their fellow-workers with the reality and \ the practicability of those dreams after dawn. "Lord Shaughnessy, whose passing Canada mourns teday, was a man ot this calibre, and because of the in- tangible nature of that essence which makes for greatness and crystallizes leadership, the record of his char- acteristics, his gifts and his achieve- his friends and associates, in the firmness of purpose and the strength of character displayed, in the very ascent of the ladaer of success, rung by rung, Lord Shaughnessy has be- queathed a heritage to the youth of Canada of splendid inspiration and to the men who have lived through the historic years with him he has left a glad remembrance. . . . "I have £3t up a mon ment more lasting than bronze' wrote the great Horace two thousand years ago. The words might be carved upon every line of railway of the system which Lord Shaughnessy did sq» much to '| bring to greatness as an epitaph of his life. Himself of strict integrity, he carried the principle of the siraii- est code of ethics into the adminis- tration of the = road he (loved 80 warmly and for which he laboured so untiringly. . . . The Empire mourns a great pro-consul." And this, from the London Times, ever the spokesman far the heart of that Empire: "The romance, ima gina- tion and fine courage of the Erupire builder are blended in the life story of Lord Shaughnessy. Himself a native of the United States, he lived to become not only & citizens of the Dominion of Canada 'across the bor- der but most essentially a citizen of the British Empire, for his whole- hearted and efficielat work was net merely dedicated to the service of his country. Under his administra- tion, the double track branched and extended so as tg carry new settlers every year into "hie farmlands of On- tdrio, through the gateways of the West into the, wheat-fields of. the prairies, and "beyond the Rockies inte the valleys ¢af British Columbia. In building thes greatness of the com- pany he served, he helped to build the greatness of his beloved country and of the Empire as well. . . . Of Lord Shaughnessy it may be said that he wag a living instance of the manner in which Britain's overseas dominions assimilate the many ele- ments 'of which they are composed. He came to Canada from a foreign country as a servant; he remained to be honoured by the King, to whom he gave such loyal allegiance, and to be recognized universally among his fellow-countrymen as the fir'st citizen of the Dominion."
