Graham, former Minâ€" ister of Railways in the King Gov‘t, was addressing the Toronto Womâ€" en‘s Liberal Association recently and in the course of his remarks, paid a fine compliment to women in generâ€" al and Agnes McPhail in particular. He said, that women in her reasonâ€" ing, goes straight to the core of the matter, while man takes a roundaâ€" bout way to get to the same place : that is one of the qualities which recommends her for public life. "Parliament would be better if we had a few more â€" Agnesâ€"McPhails," declared . the speaker. "She does not talk overmuch, but when she does speak, her remarks are couched in short, terse sentences and are right to the point," said Mr. Graham. MINISTER OF LABOR REâ€" ELECTED BY BIG MAJORITY The West Middlesex election on Monday was a great viciory for Hon. J. C. Eiliott, the new Minister of Labor in the King Cabinet. His maâ€" jority was 2651 over his opponent, Thos. Elliott, almost double hg maâ€" jority at the General Election. It is also a victory for Premier King who is succeeding well in filling the gaps in his ministry. Easter holidays once over, the House should get down to work in earnest to make up for the sceandalous waste of. time in Februâ€" Passing of Mrs. Edward Fee ary and Maréh with â€" interminable speeches leading nowhere. It is our sad duty this week to reâ€" cord the death of the above lady, which occurred on Thursday, 25th of March, 1926, at her home on 3rd con. Normanby. She was in her 74th year. For over a year she has been in failâ€" ing health from a heart trouble, but only from last Christmas was laid up and was tenderly cared for since by hoer daughters, Mrs lley and Mrs. John Morice, near by. Mrs Fee was before marriage, Miss Mary Ann Backus, born on the well known Backus farm on the townline, and lived there until her marriage on Feb. 11, 1874 to her now sorrowing husband, the officiating clergyman beâ€" ing Rev. Mr. Dudley. The move was a short one to her new home on lot 9 con 3, and here her life was spent? among neighbors who learned to love and respect her and who now mourn for her when she is gone. To Mr and Mrs Fee were born two sons and five daughtiers. One son Chester died in 1890, deeply mournâ€" ed. The survivors are : Martha, Mrs Wm. MceCalmon, Lanigan, Sask. ; Annie, Mrs Jno. Morice, Normanby ; Lizzie, Mrs J. J. Wilton, Egremont : Lottie, Mrs E. Iey, Liberty, Sask. ; Ethel, Mrs Chas. Anear, Rivers, Man., Elmer at home. Besides these as chief mourners, there will also mourn her only brother, Mr John Backus, Durham. Interment took place iuesdday 19 Maplewood cemetery, & service beâ€" ing first conducted in Varney church, Rev. Mr West preaching an approp riate sermon. Ethel arrived home on Monday night, delayed by her childâ€" ren‘s illness but in time for the fun: eral. en by t-t;;,- t‘afilly and grandaughters, Marjorie, Dorothy and â€" Billie Caldâ€" well. ¢ Sympathy of the Review is exâ€" tended to old neighbors and pupils in their bereavement. That there are many types of men striking to Northâ€" Western Ontario to the new gold fields at Red Lake is evident. But a letter we received last week from a friend who had been down to Hudson, the starting point by trail for these fields, deâ€" scribes it very neatly : "Hudson is certainly a hive of business with alt the dregs of humanity which gold rushes always attract (faces that onâ€" ly a mother could love.) Howsoever there is none so genial as a prosâ€" pector. Horse and dog teams in spite ;n: 7rrnild weather are still rushing in Two planes are also giving mail freight and passenger service." Beautiful floral offerings were giv place Tuesday to Matthew C. Beckett of Owen Sound Completes 21 years of Service Matthew C. Beckett, Owen Sound, License Inspector of Grey County, was given a flattering notice in the Sun Times last week end on comâ€" pleting 21 years of official life, in a position . that requires . tact, kindliâ€" ness, shrewdness and courage. #o THE DURHAM REVIEW much has he shown these qualities, . that today he is looked upon by his | supyrlors as one of the best InspeCtâ€" . ors in the Province. | To enter a man‘s premises, search in unlooked: for places, and finding stuff that is contraband make . seizure therof, is , not calculated to make friends of the : parties against whom â€" suspicion has been directed. _ Yet this he did in | such a conscientious manner thatl many today, who came disagrecably | under his notice, retain for him the! ’respect due to kindly efficiency. Asl the paper says : "he realized the rcâ€"| sponsibility of his position and made | it clear to all and sundry that noth E ing would be allowed â€"to lnterferti with the performance of his duty asg he understood it." ‘ He was born in Lreland 66 years ago, but is still vigorous in frame and in action. So valued is he by Athe Department that he has been freqâ€" uently taken to various parts of the province where roughness was ramâ€" pant, and his insight into charactes and circumstances was always recogâ€" nized. That this man who moved so frequently in stern situations had a kindly heart is shown by a story he relates himself when he was On duty in New Ontario, which we quote from the Sunâ€"Times : NESEt ooR "In â€" connection â€" with his duties there he relates a story of a woman who was being prosecuted in one of the courts. It was not a liquor case, but the woman was charged with theit, and the bigâ€"hearted Inspector, who is fairly quick to size up the evâ€" idence in a case, came to the conâ€" clusion that the woman, who had two small children was innocent, and he set to work to secure her freedom which he finally succeeded in doing. He thought no more of the matter after it was over, but the same evenâ€" ing he was at the railway station. he noticed the woman there also. She was a young woman and attractâ€" dve, and in a moment when the Inâ€" lspector had his mind on other things she just calmly stepped up and planâ€" ted a kiss right on his lips. She said nothing and the Inspector was 80 taken back that he could not say anything either, but it was just her way of expressing her gratitude for the kindness he had shown toward her in her time of trouble, and he tells this incident with just a little show of pride. â€" It was the only reâ€" ward he ever got for duty performed" The Week in the Legislature Toronto, March 26th, 1926‘ The Week in the Legislature was, the most exciting of the session and precipitated that usual terrible rush which seems to mark the closing days of each meeting of Parliament. Preâ€" mier Ferguson, backed by a huge majority, has ridden rough shod over everything and will continue to do so next week to finish the session beâ€" fore Good Friday. Once again this week the Conservative following were whipped into line and the province saw the amusing episode of a score or more Conservatives voting against the thing they have been advocating in and out of season since the Ferâ€" guson government was elected. The feature of the week, of course was the amendment moved by R. L Brackin to the motion to go into sup ply in the budget debate. Mr. Brackin moved for a government sale of liâ€" quor policy. The vote on it came at 9 o‘clock Thursday morning after the House had been in session since 8 o‘clock the previous afternoon. lt‘ constituted the longest sitting of the House in recent years. The Premier lashed the party whip and all the "wet" Conservatives except four votâ€" ed against their own pet scheme. The Liberals divided exactly as could have been predicted months ago. Those with "wet" ridings voted for the moâ€" tion. W.E. N. Sinclair, Liberal Leaâ€" der, voted against the amendment, as it is not in accord with the declared attitude of the Liberal party of allowâ€" ing the people to change the liquor | policy of the province by their votes. Outstanding from the long situng| and the vote on the amendment was the review of provincial financial atâ€" fairs by Harold Fisher, Liberal finâ€" ancial critic. Mr Fisher took some of the bloom off the rosy budget preâ€" sented by Provincial Treasurer Price. He showed that Ontario was not yet paying its way and had little hope ol‘ doing so until the government had either the courage to cut expenditure or raise more revenua. Both of these courses, he pointed out, would mak« enemies and as this government was lguided entirely by political expedâ€" jency, such a course was undesirable to it. He also pointed out that it was idle to talk of debt retirement when the budget was not balanced. A man might as well say he was living withâ€" in his means when he could not pay his rent as for Ontario to say it had a balance when it had no money with which to meet its interest payments on debt. A Worthy Official In the public accounts committee, the Conservative . majority again showed itself as none too eager to pry too far into~ suspicious affairs. The move to trace some MOFC 77 2"°j now famous "legals" or thousand dolâ€" lar bills, which were so much aisâ€" | cussed when the affairs of Pelen" Smith, former Prov. Treasurer, were being discussed, was blocked by thel Conservatives. Mr Sinclair com-l plained again and again about the1 conduct of the committee but his protests were in vain as far as the work of the committee was concernâ€" ed. It was brought out, however, that goods bought from the James Lyons Fuel and Supply Co. at Sault Ste Marie, had been resold by the purchaser back to the Department ovâ€" er which Mr Lyons presided. It was also proved that a huge road conâ€" tract in Northern Ontario had not gone to the lowest tender.

Trying again she found the women still talkâ€" ing. The third time she tried, she became exasperated and broke into the conversation. "Madam, 1 smeli your beans burning," she announced crisply. A horrified scream greeted the remark and the young woman was enabled to put in her call. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CAMPING ON THE LINE.

(This week‘s budget) It was neither our fault nor the printers that the items from this part did not reach the paper.
