They are shorter than they used to be, for the gout has laid Sir Richard's left leg under tribute, and it ‘is really painful for him to stand for any time.â€"Day by Day, in Toronto News. Sir Richard Cartwright's Speeches give evidence of careful preparation, although the Ministe1 of Tra_de and Commerce has been known to make excellent im romptu eflorts. The conâ€" sideration t at alwatys strikes one on hearing Richard’ s speeches is that the Minister has so much ma- terial to use that he must put his {acts thyough a winnowing process before presenting them to the public. That is about the case, too. Sir Richard's tremendous intellect has at its disposal such a tremendous may of information that the diffi- culty with him must be, not what to‘ say, but what to leave unsaid- Andi yet the old gentleman is not nearly 1 On the Supreme Court bench sits Mr. Louis Davies, who is, by way of gbeing, the direct antithesis of his ; brother judge. If ever there was a l more slapâ€"dash debater than Mr. ? Justice Davies was, he was not deâ€" ltected at Ottawa when the judge was a member of Parliament. When there was campaigning to be done, there was seldom to be found in Ca- nada a more effective man on the stump than the Liberal leader from Prince Edward Island. Audiences which were field and unresponsive to other men's efforts, an‘oke suddenly when Davies commencod to speak. His taking personality and his line appearance made him one of the Liberals' strongest cards when it came down to a case of campaign: ing. But in the House of Commons it was differ.ent There Sir Louis al- so made excellent speeches, but he did not always take the time neces- sary to verify his facts. His efforts ’ were undeniably able, but they were hardly so full of reliable statements? as those of Mr. Justice Mills. It; must not be understood that Sir Louis went in for misstatements, for he did not. But he Was not always 5 i a systematic worker, that was all. i Here in Canada we have few public men who will waste precious hours in getting a speech ofi by heart. Sir Wilfrid Laurier never prepares a speech in the sense ’of getting it structurally complete, let alone mem- orizing it. His notes do not often take up more than one side of note- paper, or the back of an envelope. Of course, if authorities have to be quoted, the- books are used. But the argument comes largely to Sir Wilâ€" frid’s mind as he progresses through his speech. Before he makes it the' plan is plotted, but there is never any attempt to go any farther than the skeleton of the address. If the Prime Minister had to trust to his memory for these periods which so often have electrified the land, he would go out of public life. He has said on himself. Sir Wilfrid has many good qualities, but he has not the patience which allows other and . perhaps smaller men to get by note page after page of matter.

When in the House of Commons, Mr. I Mills was known as one of the most erudite of its members, and also as 9999; the wt xyluminous of i_ts debaters. When Mr. Mills had to participate in a “£111 dress debate: i as they call it in England, the desk in front of him was piled high with books, manuscript, pamphlet, and all kinds of paraphernalia. The then member for Bothwell was not the man to allow the most minute point to escape him, and he was a terror to the Hansard men with his un-i usual phrases and recondite refer-‘ ences. Sir John Macdonald was not in the habit of paying compliments to the Liberals, but he is said to have remarked that if Mr. Mills, should decide that there Wore two: “e’s” in “the,” he would be inclin-f ed to believe him offâ€"hand. The mem- 7 her from Bothwell was aIWnys pret-i ty accurate in his referem‘es. = mier departed for Plymouth, ywhere the speaking was to take place,'- withâ€" out his notes. Consequently he had to make an extempore address, and very ordinary stun ‘it was. It is evident that Lord Roseberyis one of those gentlemen who require "stud- ied impromptus." Disraeli, they say, used to con over his Speeches until he had virtually memorized them. His epigrams were not drawn forth by i the spur of the occasion. Beaconsfield is reported to have confessed that he had the biting sentences . ready for pretty nearlynny occasion. And the facts about his system of keeping these smart sayings on tap, ‘ so to speak, never became public property until after the death of the great man. John Bright, it is said, did not memorize his speeches, but trust- ed to what he called his “islands." The “islands" were central ideas ,for a speech. From one to the other in succession it was Bright’s plan to "swim," as he put it. The great tribune of the people was not one of the kind who would memorize a. speech. He had plenty of things to spend his time on, and would never have consented to the drudgery of ' memorization.
