There were doubtless very many in his own Par- ty who expected fo see a new leader chosen, not out of dissatisfaction with the man who had gone under with his party, but asa natural se- quence to be expected under such cir cumstances, That, however, was not the result. There was no Canadian Gladstone, coming unobtrusively in and taking place near the door, a casual visitor only. Instead, the same tall, picturesque and striking figure took the most) prominent seat first-tession of the new Parliament opened, and there was no visible dif ference between past and present other than this change-of sides. That change was necessary because a big built man, with rugged face and strength visible in every gesture was now seated where, for fifteen years, he had been wont to sit.

There were fo Hines visibly deepened on that face that that has so few Faces alter so many creasing age, tio traces of the dis- appointment that must have been felt when things melted away on that historic September evening, no signs of the regret that is inevitable over mistakes that now cannot be rectit ed. , If these exist they have their marks below the surface, not on it. But there is amexplanation. Here, as everywhere, the luw of compensa- tion is working and when Fate took things away from Laurier she left much in recompense.

At any rate they standout as the most striking figures in the House, just as they were when they occupied opposite sides to those now assigned them. There Is Laurier, just the saine as of old usually sitting stiffly upright through hours of debates, courteously intent, when the question s worth listening to, courteously intent, often when few otherssare as much, But Still he has the Iittle customs that al- , ways amuse the House as they have amused embers - for a generation back. A snap of his finger to call a age and a moment later the. lad comes into the House, bearing the big Webster dictionary. Then for an hour, maybe; or even more, the Lib- eral Jeader finds solace and actual enjoyment in the book that seems least of all inviting. Yet to that practice, continued through long years, does he owe much of that great facility in the English lan- guage and of that wonderful gift of choosing the-right-word, that has made him preemingnt among Canadi- an orators. Sir Wilfrid had a new volume the other night that interest- ed-him through two or three hours of as dull discussion as the House gets occasionatly. It was small pocket atlas, and members smiled as the leader of the opposition renewed his study of geography with interest and enjoyment. A Relingsisked Habit. One of his old customs he has re- linguished in lange degree, probably feeling it now unnecessary. That is the habit, that was so marked in days of power, of spending dull after- Toons and evenings in the House In going about through the embers of his party and having littletalks with the individual members.

There have been many judgments: on Laurier, past and present These will count as Tittle im the light of that mote final judgment. That will come only when; to use again Mark Twain's simile, the last rope has been cast off from the last pier abd th ship bas launched out into the great unknown deep. Canadian pitbie-mem have been the victims alike of undue adulation and/of harsh judgment. Nor have they. been free themselves ft that of which they were the victims. Sir Richard Cartwright s recently published memoirs do grave injustice to one whom Canada reveres in memory. Yet, what is the petty gossip of those memoirs compared with the stinging arrows that were shot against that same man through a large part of his public life.
