The Ramsay MacDonald of today wears the watch which- the old school master bequeathed, and I several years ago he wrote a moving tribute to his benefactor. Mr. MacDonald is regarded as His magnificent library, which contains all the H standard works of British, Continental and American history, shows that he is extensively read: Since his early manhood he has been an admirer of Cromwell, of whom he has a unique | collection of portraits, Mr. MacDonald is a writer of some note; having contributed to many Labor and other magazines for several years. He has been identi with the Independent Labour Party since its inception in 1894, and is said to have done more than any other man to determine the policy of the Party, being its leader from 1911 to 1914. Some people contemplate with dismay the pros of a Labour Govern- mn. The introduction of government by a Labour Party in Great Britain bears striking contrast to the transition from Czardom to Socialistic Goverment in Russia. Let us not forget that the men who compose Labour were considered of some account when 1918, and there are no grounds to base the sus- picion that they will not legislate for the good of the Empire, as they fought and sacrificed for the good of the world. It has been noticeable on more than one oc- casion that King George has singled out Mac- Donald at a big function, as has the Prince of Wales. There may have been reasons of State for doing so, but as the King is one of the closest students of domestic as well as foreign affairs, there is little doubt the British sovereign has felt it to be only a question of time before he would have to call on this Scotsman to form a Labour Government, and in consequence desired to know him better: The following statement made by Mr. Mac- Donald after the division in the House, gives an idéa of how seriously he regards the prospects of Leadership. : "It is not the moment for elation. It is a ter- rible responsibility. We shall have to do odr best to face it, fail or succeed. I can say this: that no Government responsibility for the affairs of this Country will more honestly try to serve. I am proud of the Labor Party, and it will be a great inspiration to every workman and work- woman in the country to work and to sacrifice to doctheir party honour and enable it to succeed." | appreciations of Mr. Sinclair's in- | outsiders who knew him Editor's Note--There are two helpful factors in the present British political situation. number of the labor leaders are wealthy, well educated men, to have Bolshevistic tendencies. One is that the !'red" element of labor is not in control. uite a and are unlikely The other feature is that the old line parties are sufficiently strong to be an effective check on rash legislation. Complimentary Banquet to W. E. N. Sinclair, M.PP. . Toronto Globe . Representatives of every section of the Province and of every walk of life, hundreds of Liberals assembled in the Y. M. C. A. building in Osha- wa on Tuesday evening to do honor to W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., the newly, selected Provincial Liberal Leader. Warm and enthusiastic as were the ty and ability as expressed by in political ETXexTT"X allied themselves with other forces. The Liberal Party would welcome them in private' life, he said, and it would welcome them in the Legisla- ture. As for a third party, there was no need of such, and the principal effect of one would be to split the forces of advanced thought. Besides Mr. Sinclair, there were as speakers at the banquet Hon, Charles | Stewart and Hon. Geo. P. Graham, members of the Federal Cabinet. ~ Outstanding among the addresses the point of view of public it was that of Mr. Graham, 10 declared that what the people Canada needed today was ~ which had maintained Can- "soldiers in the trenches. "If the people of Canada," he said, "are to get ahead, then we must stop | grouching about the present condi- tions of the country and see if we | cannot better them." s ' Speaking of general complaint | abdwt the new sales tax, he said, pressure had been so great 'from business men that this taxation be in one place, that Right Hon. Fielding had with prolonged applause. He pro- ceeded to take up satires thrown at the Liberal Party by former Premier Drury and the Farmers' Sun. The Sun had referred, to the Liberal Party as a "remnant." The Liberal Leader, amid laughter, that if the next election he did n6t give any better leadership than had Mr, Drury in the last, the Liberals would de- cline in number from fourteen to four. Several speakers replied to a toast to "Canada," proposed by Mr. J. B. Thompson, Export Manager of the General Motors, including L. 0. Clif- ford, M.P., Hon. Charles Stewart, | Minister of Interior; G. M. Gordon, MP, Hon, Duncan Marshall and | Hon, Geo. P. Graham, Minister of Railways. Port Perry Branch, - ing with about five hundred interested persons of the village and surround- ing community. The building is a fine modern, new school equipped with all modern con- veniences. The very latest in heat- ing and ventilating systems give as- surance of every comfort for the children attending. The water sup- ply comes from a bored well one hundred and fifty feet deep which has had a rigid test of three days, giving a supply of one hundred and fifty gallons of water per hour. Drinking fountains have been in- stalled to give the most sanitary drinking water. In short, everything has been included in the school that would be found in a much larger place. The approximate cost of erection and equipment is in the neighborhood of $40,000. Besides W. E. N. Sinclair, who opened the school and the chairman, Mr. Oscar Downey, Reeve of Whitby Township, the chief speaker for the evening, were: Mr. R. A. Hutchison, Public School Inspector, Dr. James Moore, Rev. J. R. Fraser, Dr. John Moore, Rev. A. Delve, Mr, Ormiston and Mr. Patterson, of Brooklin; 'Mr. McMillan, Warden of the County; Mr. Morrow, the architect and Mr. Gray- den Goodfellow, of Whitby. Each of the speakers complimented the village of Brooklin, the School Board, the teachers and pupils, on having such a magnificent building which would be asset to any community. Between the speakers there was a program given by the pupils of the school consisting of singing and club- swinging. Considerable time and energy was spent in the preparation of the program which was excellent in every number and was appreciated by all. Note--It is sometimes fitting to prophecy, and we'll risk it., The day will come when the people around Brooklin will wish this new school had been a Consolidated School. ---- (tm HOCKEY Gravenhurst 3...Port Perry 2 Our Boys lose round by one goal. Our intermediate team, along with a dozen supporters, journeyed to Gravenhurst on Friday last, where they were defeated in a fast game by one goal. This one goal was enough to put our boys out of the O. H. A. running, as they had only managed to play Gravenhurst a tie game here, on the previous Tuesday, two all. The game was fast and exciting, only a few penalties being handed out by Referee Brown, and these were for minor offences. Their rink is about ten feet narrower than ours, with square corners, which was a considerable handicap to our boys. The play in the first period was well divided, only one goal being scored by Port, McMillan doing the trick after Boe had passed it out from the corner. The second period was pretty much all Gravenhurst. They came strong and only for the the good work of Deshane in. goal they would have 'scored considerably more than the two they did get. The third period opened up even faster than the last, with the play about even again. Both teams were fighting hard and going a fast clip. Due to the narrow ice, there were many collisions among the players and the Referee seemed to lose con- trol of the game. However, there was ne deliberate rough playing by : Open a savings account with this Bank now. : STANDARD BANK _ H. GQ. Hutcheson, Manager Still another Gravenhurst player had his lip cut open in the last few minutes of play, which required three stitches to fix it up. The game finished with no more scoring and Port pressing hard for the tieing goal. The injuries to the three Graven- hurst boys in the last few minutes of play were all accidental, as the best of feelings existed between the players of both teams, and our boys came home feeling very badly for Frenchy as he was one of the best players on the ice and Gravenhurst will miss him in their next games. Port lost to a good clean team and only hope they will win their next round. Our boys were loud in their praises for the Gravenhurst players and town people, for the manner in which they were treated while in their town. They were met at the train by John Cowie and his famous band, also two or three sleighs, where a procession was formed and they paraded to the Albion Hotel, where the band played until their instruments were frozen up and had to stop. After dinner our boys were all treated to a sleigh ride down to the Ditchman Motor Boat Works, Where they looked over a fine lot of motor boats, especially the $28,000 boat being built for Mr. Gooderham, of Toronto. The boys arrived home next day with many a goed word for Graven- hurst, especially John Cowie and his band, the hockey boys and the pro- prieter of the Albion Hotel.
