ADAM SHORTT, FORMERLY : OF QUEEN'S, Head of Canada's Civil Service Com- mission.--His Native Hamlet, Near London, Ont., Has Disappeared From the Map--Always a Keen Stadent. By Prancis A. Carman. There are not many men, even in this land of "mushroom' growths, who 'have lived to see extingnished the village in which they were born. Villages are usually slow growing and usually are persistent as well. Especially is this true in the old settled province of Ontario. Yet the tale that I am now telling is of such a man. He was born in the village of Kilworth in the valley of the Thames, and he is yet in the prime of life. The man is Dr. Adam Shortt, civil service commissioner. The villagéi in which Dr. Shortt saw the light was one of the old mill villages of the early days in On- tario. "It was situated on the River Thames, not far below Springbank, which, again is not far below the { City of London. London was chos- {en as the site of the capital of Can- ada by Sir John Graves Simcoe, who was governor of Canada at the end of the eighteenth century, and this ! portion of the province was settled early in the century that followed. Kilworth consisted of a mill, a store, and a half dozen houses. Its reason for existence was the mill, to which the farmers from roundabout brought their grain to hav. it ground. In the middle of last cen- tury [the mill was prosperous, and give a living to two partners of whom Dr. Shortt's father was one. With the growth of London and the drift "of business thither, however, the mill fell on evil days, and had eventually to he closed down, and then mismantled. A few ye irs ago Dr. Shortt visited his native village and found not a building standing. Even the old bridge was gone.. The only means of identifying the spot were: the few remains of founda- tions that it had not been profitable to carry away. Theo place has gone, and the name has been) picked up and bestowed upon another hamlet in a slightly varied form. KXilworth Bridge is in the same valley of the Thames, but is somé miles distant from the hamlet, in which the pre- sent civil service commissioner was horn. A Broad-Minded Citizen. | There is a tendency to consider {university men as narrow Dr. {Shortt is an outstanding figure among university men in the dominion. Yet whatever Justification there may be ! for the tendency just referred. to, | there is no justification for regarding Dr. Shortt as narrow. He came into public notice first-an an economist, ! | ana perhaps the dry-as-@ust reputa- tion 'of political economy may have attached itself to kim. But Dr. Shortt was not one of those men who was a "calculator and economist" from his youth up. His first love in the balls of learning was philpso- phy, and his turning to political science was an. evidence of his under- lying practical hent. He was a | gold medalist in philosophy at | Queen's university; and he began his career as a teacher in the depart- ment of philosophy at the same uni- versity. In the meantime, how ever, his"mind had turned to the practical problems of the science of wealth, and at the end of the eighties he transferred into the department of political science. It wad while engaged in branch of university work that he became a public figure in the domin ion. Seon after the organization of the labor department by the do- chairman of commissions Under the Conciliation act, and later under the Lemieux act In his capacity of combined mediator and judge he showed a keen insight into labor | troubles, and won a peputation as a i skilful adjuster of relations between employers and employees. He enter: ed upon this work known only as a college professor. By his success in it he became a national figure in the world of practical affairs. Always a Keen Student. Dr. Shortt has always been a stu- dent, and he is a student wo-day. He { will be a student as long as he lives. {He was a close student when he was , attending high school at Walkerton. { He was » student while he was teach- ing scugol and putting himselr {through Queen's by the extra-rural course which has made that univer- sity a blessing to so many men, who have had the zeal for knowledge, but not the financial basis of leisure. When he was teaching philosophy, he * was delving into economics, and when he was teaching economics he was studying the problem of labor and capital at first hand in goveru- ment commissions. is a civil service commissioner, hg is devoting his evenings to the investi- gation of the history of the dominion. If he over takes to historical study 48 a means of livelihood, one may be confident that he will acquire Soma new branch of learning as a hobby. : : i As civil service commissioner, Ad- am Shortt is the eynosure of the | eves of all politicians and of all civ- il servants. He is also the head at which all criticism is directed. It is doubtless human. and consequently he may err.

Many of the men bathed in what a native of the "Old Ontario Strand" would call mud holes, after having been "used to the great lakes and rivers. But they were greatly refreshed. : i The rations and messing conditions were quite satisfactory. Wednesday was a comparatively easy day for the 14th. The fight continued, but the "cease fire" had been sounded be: fore the 14th and the regiments in its igade had gotten well into 'the. firing line. A cavaky charge from the rear was pepulsed, part of the local battalion being in the engage ment.

The black and the rising sand'gave the men a very dirty appeara But after the "march past," upon } hich they were complimented as well ax upon all work in camp, 14th ra- turned to camp, and for hour the water troughs were "the centre of operations. The 14th brass band met and played the regiment into camp. Rain Gell in the afternoon but this did not affect the men much.

Shdddods - TWO FACED POLICY. i dededes SBP BBL ebb en "A clergyman has no moral right to carry politics into the pulpit."'--8ir James Whitney at Toronto in 1914. In 1905 Mr. Whitney ap- pealed to the clergymen of Ontario to assist him in ar- ousing the people. He pub- " liely thanked them for their assistance? " As you all know," he said, "the clergy have done their duty. They deserve the thanks of all men." The Toronto Mail and Em- pire in 1905 said: "When the issue is moral, it is Bot at all improper for the clergy to pronounce against the evils that are af- flicting the - country and threatening its future. If a clergyman cannot declaim against public wrong-doing, why have a pulpit at all?"

In Taking Away of Trousers he Also Found $2 in a Pocket--Nervy Theft Pulled Of Wednesday Night by Smeak\Thief. Sneek thieves are ever on the job. Both day and night they are alert fo take advantage of any apportun- ity which comes their way. During Wednesday night one who ranks in this class was in the vi- cinity of 'Bagot and Queen strebts. The exact time is not known, but it was in the wee sma' hours. Every- thing was very quiet in the vicinity. Not even a lonesome policeman was in sight. + ¢ "Now is my opportunity," said Mr. Burglar, as he spied a tent, erected on the corner of Bagot and Queen streets. "I'l "just step into that ient and see if there is anything do- ing in my line." And into the tent he walked. The man who owns the tent and who has been conducting a little business along, the lines of reading one's fi ture from the head was sound asleep. The midnight prowler was very care- ful not to disturb the sleeper. On tip-toe he went about the tent. ° And the other fellow continued to sleep. The thief spied the man's trousers and picking them up made off. On the outside he searched the pockets and discovered that he had $2. He had expected e, and was disappointed. However, he did not go back to the tent, He thought it-would be taking too big a chance. So he went on his way. When the sleeping man awoke in the morning and went to look for his trousers he found them missing, and reported to the police. They are still missing, also the $2. STOOK MARKETS F. B.
