Harrison Co, Limited Po 9 zenith of the imperialism which found expresilon in the gala days of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, What Kipling's Recesslonal gather ed up as an essence in commemorat- ing the might of England, Newbolt's ceiebration of the great deeds and mighty figures of England's sea his- tory, spreadsesas a fierce light of pride and power upon the pomp and ceremony of the consciousness of that historic year. One of the best (kmown of Sir Henry Newbolt's poems, which he calls Vitali Lampada, but which thousands of his admirers know as Flay the Game, explains and places him, bis clean pride in his country and her sons, and his fealty to No- blesse Oblige, "the obligation of noble conduct imposed by nobility." "There's a breathless hush in the Close tonight, Ten to make and the match to win-- A bumping pitch and a blinding light, An hour to play and the last man in. \ And #'s not for the Sake of a rib- boned coat, Or tie selfish fore. of a season's fame, But his captain's hand on his shoul- der smote: "Play up! Play up! and Play the Game!" The poem Clifton Chapel, scarcely less widely known, carries" on the same theme, "To set the cause above renown, To love the game bevond the prize, To honor while you strike hin down -[* The foe that comes with fearless eyes, To count the life of battle good; And dear the land that gave you birth, And dearer yet the brotherhood, - That binds the brave of all the earth, Today and here the fight's dSgun Of the great tellawship you're free, Henceforth the School and you are rd what you abs fn u you the Race shall The Island Race, Sir Heury New- bolt's second book, struck its note upon the patriotic key, but with a fainter echo resounding from pub- Mec appreciation. The Sailing of the Longsh and Songs of Memory and Sir 'Henry's exuberant iy, although with cifferent signific- ance, struck the chord of patriotism for England. Although for a time somewhat overshadowed by the ruthless self- assertive art of the younger English , Bir Heary 'Newbolt maintains iH {his passion for adventure, Not alone in the Devon country, and fighters of England illustrates In .his blood is of roll and surge of Saxon | courage and Saxon d¥ring and his ac- f tion kiows no narrower limits than | broad and &pectacular stage of Bri- | ton's empire building. His maval songs give witness to this. A Ballad of John Nicholson, his poems that deal with the Soutia African war. and of India, show how 'his mpods are filled with the dreams of the sons cf England who extend the King's high- way to all of tha four corners of the | earth. Yet for him, waerever the | feet may roam [or Englishmen, the | heart is anchored in love and allegi- ance to the island home, . . . One of Sir Henry's npblest and most beautiful poeme is He Fel! Among Thieves, and anyone reading this poem of the Englishman who paid his score in a far-away land, and before paying askad only for a | few hours that he might live over his youth egain in memory, will know somehow what England means to | the poet, It will tell how much Sir | Henry loves his own Devon, from which he springs, the "Devon" of which he sings-- Deep-wooded combes, ed hills of morn, Red sunset tides against a red sea- wall, High lonely barrows where the " curlews call, Far moors that echo to the ringing | horn-- Devon! thou spirit of all these beau- ties born, All those are thine, but thou art more than all; Speech can but tell praise can but fall, clear-mound- thy name, There is the beauty of hardy vigor in Sir Henry's verse, a tender-- ness when he sings of English scenes that-'have the illusive charm of 'spring hedgerows. Nobility is the quality in human haracter which he celebrates time and again with a distinction thet is refreshing. In his own verse he shows how one may get excellent results in practicing the principles of English metrics which he has propounded in his book, A Study of English Poetry. In all that he writes, whether it is as in Drake's Drum, or Fidele"s Grassy Tomb, or Among the Tombs, or a Song of Ex- moor, or Benedict's Song, he strives for lyrical beauty and accomplishes it with perfect spontaneity, . . Ll Clifton, Oxford, the bar, he has had the best kind of English train- ing. He - "carries on," does this friend of midshipmen, admirals, and all good saflormen. He knows what they stand for, what the midshipman may attain to, Admirals. all, they said their say (The echoes are ninging wtill), Admirals all, they went their way To the haven under the hil.

Sin clair, Loberal member for South Ontario, spoke to his motion on the agricultural situation in the legisla- ture yesterday afternoon. Mr. Sin- clair's motion practically amounted to7a vote of want of confidence In the government. He stated that he did not think there was '80 much dynamite in it as has been said in the press. The papers had stated that a division on 'the issue might have meant a defeat of the govern- ment. He did not think it would, but if it did he would not shed any tears. He outlined the importance of the agricultural industry in Ontario, with forty per cent. of the popula- tion engaged in it. There were fif- ten million acres of cleared farm- ing land in the province, with erops valued at 222 millions fh 1921, with live stock valued at 2285 millions." Egress of Farmers. . % Mr. Sinclair admitted that there. had been a decline in the rural population, but stated that it was limited. It was rue, in his opinion, to economic causes, farmers having 'moved to the north-west, machin: ery having reduced the need for men. He gave figures to show that the rural depopulation was greatest on the poorest land, but submitten that conditions were not right and there was room for improvement. This improvement should be given by the government. They had in- vestigated everything but agricul tural conditions. They had spent much money on' committees' ana there had been only one agricultural committee although the government was elected a8, an agricultural goy- + ernment. PROBS: fair and cold.
