A FAITHFUL DOG. Great Britain. Canada. General. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO TCRONTC CORRESPONDENGE Reminisconc.. of Sir George W. Rossâ€"As Fascinating as a Remanoeâ€"A Questionabie Play Suppressed. During the last few months there have been published many volumes of reminisâ€" cences df prominent public men which have constituted m distinct addition to the literature and historic records of the Dominion. Among these may be mentionâ€" ed the works of Sir Richard Cartwright, Hon. James Young, and Mr. Goldwin Bmith. It is doubiful, however, if any similar volume has ever been published in Canada which combines the interest, the entertainment and the historic data which are to be found in a volume juet published by Hon. Bir George Ross. It is entitled "Getting Into Parliament and After" and is published by William Briggs. INTERESTING BiTS OF COSSIP FRONM THE QuEEN CiTY. Bir George‘s book is free from the inâ€" vective and bitterness which characterizes many portions of Bir Richard Cartwright‘s Reminiscences. But it does not lack grip upon the reader on that @ccount. To the average Canadian who is interested in the history and progress of his country, the book will be as fascinating as a roâ€" mance. It is couched in the language, embroidered with imagery and quotation which has done much to make Sir George Ross the most finished and attractive orator Canada has ever produced. And like his speeches, too, the volume sparkles with humor. * Distinguished as hé became in later life 2s a platform orator, it is interesiing to note the process by which 8ir George beâ€" came such an effective speech maker. For the ten years preceding Federation the budding statesman taught school in his native county of Middlesex. Occasionally he heard a political speech. Once he borâ€" rowed a horee and saddle and rode fiftcen miles to bhear D‘Arcy McGee. But it was to the "Bous of Temperance" that he gives credit for his schooling in the art of public speaking. As a member of the organization it became his privilege to share in the honors and to work side by side with men many years his senior. ‘Then occasionally," he says, "there was a fieldâ€"night for the good of the Order, which meant a debate on some preâ€"arâ€" ranged topic, with essays and speeches on temperance or other nonâ€"political subâ€" jects. In these fieldâ€"nights the schoolâ€" master, as the highest authority on all literary and polemical questions, was by virtue of his office a designated exponâ€" ent. Bo from necessity, more frequently than from choice, I was obliged to wrestle, not always logically, I fear, with the protagonist of every proposition on which it was possible for opposites to contend." In later years the young schoolmaster, after an apprenticeship in the newspaper business, first as proprietor of the Strathâ€" roy "Age," after as part owner of the Beaforth "Expositor," and also in the capacity of public school inspector, beâ€" came a member of Parliament. ‘ Exceedâ€" ingly interesting is his deecription of his maiden effort as a speech maker in the House. Me says: "For some mysterious reason I had the utmost dread of rising to my feet, and often while waiting for an opportunity some other member would perhape rise and appropriate the few ideas I had collected. After much indeâ€" cision and resolves and reâ€"resolves, howâ€" ever, I concluded that I could not learn to swim without getting into the water, and even if I were to drown 1 would make the attempt. My maiden efforts consisted first of a speech on immigration of about ten minutes, next of a spcech on th6 neâ€" cessity of restricting the eale of intoxâ€" icating liquors of about fortyâ€"five minutes and m speech on the Pacific Railway of about twentyâ€"five minutes. M Pcl "I spoke from notes, as was my habit before 1 entered the House, but such was my state of nervous excitement that I dreaded m moment‘s pause to look at them. My knees trembled as if alarmed at my presumption in addressing the House. ‘To prevent my attention being distracted by the restlessness of the memâ€" bers present, I fixed my eye upon the Bpeaker, who seemed to be the only perâ€" «on who took any interest in what I had to eay, and poured into his ears with reckless rapidity the arguments that I inâ€" tended for the House. 1 never lost enâ€" tirely the thread of my subject, although more than once I wandered from my preâ€" meditated course. A few members who I fear had not listened to me very attenâ€" tively congratulated me on my maiden effort. To myself the effort was far from satisfactory. I pitched my voice several points too high and I galloped along from start to finish like Tam O‘Shanter when. pursued by the witches of Auld Kirk Alloway. I thought my experience on the platform and in all sorts of forenâ€" sic combats would have so hardened me for the ordeal that I could face the House of Commons without a quiver. Vain delusion. The House bore no resemâ€" blance to any audience I had ever adâ€" dressed. It was as solid as the Sphinx and as unimpressionable as an obelisk." In the course of his career, Sir George has come in contact with praciically every public man of importance in the Dominion of Canada. Of many of them he gives delightful pen picturee, each delineated with the utmost good humor though with perfect insight into their real characters. Of Sir John Macdonald he speaks in kind terms. He recalls that at the time of the big reâ€"distribution his opponent in West Middlesex asked for the reâ€"casting of the constituency and went to Sir John about it, telling him how a Conservative majority could be made perfectly eure. 8ir John looked at him rather doubtfully, and remarked, ‘"‘You may put this townehip in West Middlesex and you may take that one off, or you may make any shuffle you please, but that little devil Rose will beat you in spite of what you do." "My opponent told me of this interview a few months after his defeat, as an instance of Sir John‘s political eagacity, and withâ€" out" any feeling of disappointment." He speake in admiration of Sir John‘s adroitness in debate, and chiefly of his capacity for picking men. Personally he seldom came in contact with the great Conservative leader, On one occasion they met in the lobby during Bir George‘s first seesion and without the formality of an introduction Sir John shook hands with the youthful member, quoting the lines from Pope: ¢ "Who taught that heavenâ€"directed epire to rise? ‘The man of Ross‘ each lisping babe reâ€" plies." In contrast with this may be set down an extract from another portion of the book where Sir George recalls having made a speech on Reciprocity, Hon. Edâ€" ward Blake then being his party leader. He says: "Though not particularly imâ€" pressed with my effort to inetruct the House, I ventured to say to Mr. Blake a few houre afterward, ‘Well, I have done my best for Reciprocity. How did you like my speech?‘ ‘My dear boy,‘ he said, ‘I did not hear a word of it. I elept the whole time you were speaking.‘ Whether to take his repose as a mark of perfect confidence in my ability to do justice to the subject, or asâ€"showing a lack of inâ€" terest in anything I might eay, was my dilemma. It was, however, the last speech about which I asked his opinion, either hbefore or after delivery." Mr. Llake, he says, was always on his good behaviour.. He enjoyed a good «tory but never "swapped" with anybody. E: could not make himself "one of the ye." The moet sensational@incident in recent years in connection with local theatrical matters otcurred the other day when Poâ€" lice Magistrate Denison and the police oongemned and suppressed the play "Dobâ€" orah." Toronto felt that it was being put to the test with this play. In ninetyâ€"nine cages out of a hundred when questionable plays come to Toronto it is only after they have appeared for weeks or months or perhaps years in other cities. When they arrive in Toronto it is felt that it would be an exhibition of prudishness or at least of a "holier than thou" attitude if Toronto was to declare it would not have that which other citiee approved or â€"at least tolerated. In the case of "Deborah," however, the situation was diffcrent, be eause Toronto was selected as the place The Suppression of "Deborah." Learning to Make Spesches. First Sneech in Pariiament. Picture of Sir John A. And Mis Leader Sleat. As a matter of fact most of those who eaw the first presentation were not really alive to the character of the play that was being presented. They were so captiâ€" vated by the art of the actors and acâ€" tresses and the skilfulness with which the piece had been conetructed by the mauthor that they failed to see that the whole thing was impossible. It was only next day, when they came to attempt to tell the story of the play to their friends, that they realized what a disgusting piece of stage craft it was. The plot was such that it could not possibly be related or described in any mixed company. With perhaps one or two exceptions it was the rawest thing that has ever been put on in a local theatre. The dramatic censors who see all first performances and who, acting under authority of the police deâ€" partment, give the theatres permission to go on each week, failed, like other spectators, to recognize the character of Deborah as a play. They cut out certain scenee, but they could not alter the gigâ€" nificance of the whole story. A Clergyman Acted. for the first performance or premiere of the play. 8 % It remained for Rev. John Coburn, actâ€" ing for the Committeo of Vigilance, to take the action which resulted in the suppression of Deborah. Having witâ€" nessed the first performance personally he laid a charge against all the performâ€" ers in the company of producing an imâ€" moral play. Mr. Coburn told his story before Magistrate Denieon, a number of witnesses were called for the defence, but the upshot of a day‘s deliberations was that the magistrate rendered a convicâ€" tion and the company was notified that they must not repeat the play. Thus endâ€" gd Deborah after a short life of three aye. It is to be expected that as a result Toronto will be further advertised in American cities as the most straightâ€" laced city in America,. But it will prob ably be found that there will be many other cities that will supprese Deborah if, indeed, attempts are made to revive it. Already Hamilton, London and Oltawa are reported to have turned it down. The example set by Toronto may also have a wholesome influence in making other cities more carefully ecrutinize first proâ€" ductions. It is a common allegation of theatrical people that the reformers are pharisaâ€" ical and hypocritical. But it would not be possible to have any more hypocritical statements than those made by the people responsible for some soâ€"called "problem plays" that these productions are put on for the purpose of teaching great moral lessons or to preach eermons.
