SIR WILFRED LA URIER, CA
NADA’S GRAND OLD MAN
PASSED BEYOND TO DA Y
OTTAWA, Canada,' Feb. 17:—Sir Wilfred Laurier, Cana
dian Statesman, and one time premier of Canada, died this
afternoon suffering a stroke of paralysis on Sunday. He was
Seventy-eight years of age.
Sir Wilfred was bom at St. Lin, Quebec, Nov. 24, 1841. He
studied law and was called to the bar of Lower Canada in
^•865. He edited a French paper for a short period, and was
a strong prohibitionist. Inn the provincial elections of 1871
he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec for the
constituency of Drummond and Athabaca. This seat he re
tained until 1875 when he resigned to take the same consti
tuency for the Dominion House of Commons. He proved so
brilliant a statesman he was then invited to enter the cabinet
being allotted the portfolio of internal revenue till 1878.
When Mr. Blake in 1887 withdrew from Canadian politics,
Laurier took his place as the recognized leader of the Liberal
party. As an orator he was without a peer in Canadian pub
lic life. ’•Throughout his career he has been unswerving
ly faithful to three objects: the maintenance of the principle
of federalism, advocacy of civil and religious freedom, and re
sistance of the injurious influences of racialism, sectarian and
provincialism.
Fittings salvaged from the steamer
Mariposa were recently taken to
Seattle by the Hodondo, according to
tlTe following item from the Times:
“With a shipment of fititngs from the
wreck of the Mariposa off Strait Is-1
land, Sumner Straits, the steamship
Rod end o of the Alaska Steamship Co
mpany arrived in port. The Rodondo
was at thf scene of the wreck one day
and her officers and crow were able
to salvag.- a quantity of the brass fit-!
tings, thg vessel’s steering gear and'
her binnacle. While the crew was at!
work a southeast gale ca ne up and
were forced to steam for Seattle”
Shoe manufacturers warn that to
save leather. 1 Is on women’s shoes
will not be h' 1 int.hg future. Once
mere, what has leather to do with
wooden heels, ask the men In unison.
The war at least, effectually silen
i eed those old timers who used to
rt 'ate with smug satisfaction the ter
ribly high prices they paid for food
stuffs In Civil war days.
The question Is not so much what
kind «f clothes th-u shorn! wear, but
where they are to get the cash to
buy any at all.
With coal c-utt off from breweries It
Is estimated the fuel saving for the
country will be over three, million tons
■ n'luxlly. In other words, Instead of
drinking our beer we shall burn It.
FLAWS SAFETY
INSTRUCTION
Safety work will be introduced in
the curriculum of every technical
;='•})ool in the country, if possible, by
Hie Working Conditions Service of
tbe Department of Labor, as a means
of promoting its plan for safety in
industry, "
it Is not planned to introduce speci
al courses on safety work, but rather
to inculate principles of safety in con
necticn with the usual instruction in
engineering courses. The prevention
of industrial accidents will mean a
great economic gain to the Nation for
the annual loss In labor power is tre
mendous. Recently figures were given
to show that 300,000 industrial acci
dents occur each year in Pennsylvania
alone, these accidents including only
those which required absence from
work. *
The training of technical men In
such a way as to keep safety princi
ples before them in their work in fac
tories, engineering proJ<‘Cts, mines,
and Uie like will be an important fac
tor, it is expected, in reducing thopres
ent heavy drain oji industry from ac
cidents.
