SLINEY Richmond Hill Richmond Hill Ontario Political biography holds little more tragic than the story of D’Arcy Mc- Gee, born at Carlingford, Ireland in 1825, poet, orator and journalist at the ‘age of eighteen, Young Ireland rebel and fugitive from the British Government in 1848, tribune of his people in the anti-Irish agitations in America/ in the 50’s, McGee lived to become one of the Fathers of Confedâ€" eration and, in 1868, when he was at the zenith of his power, and when in the words of Lor'd Mayo, he had be- come “the most eloquent defender of British rule on the face of the globe," he fell in Ottawa by an assassin’s hand. ' The Tragic Life Story of D’Arcy McGee, One Of The Fathers of Confederation McGee's early mind was nourished in a revolutionary Irish school. He had been a follower of O’Connell, but when the light of the “Liberator” waned McGee joined The Nation. a newspaper which made the written word a power in Ireland and awaken- ed a new spirit of Celtic nationality. His colleagues were John Mitchell, an uncompromising rebel, Thomas Davis, famous as essayist and poet, Charles Gavin Duffy, who lived to become Prime Minister/ in Australia and Thomas Francis Meagherâ€"“Me- agher of the Sword,” who later won fame and glory in the American Civil War. Their object was the over- throw of British rule by resort to violence. No more brilliant band of young enthusiasts ever battled for a cause in any land, but it was the old Irish story of forlorn effort, of crush- ing disaster and of miserable defeat. ‘With a price upon his head, and after lstirring adventures McGee escaped to iAmerica. The native American party, antag- onistic to the Irish .was then at the flood tide of its power and from it McGee imbibed a keen dislike for re- publicanism. On a) lecture tour through Canada he was struck with the wide measure of liberty enjoyed by his church and his race under British rule, and, in 1858, after hav- ing pased through a number of jour- nalistic ventures and memorable con- troversies under the Stars and Stripes he turned once more to the British flag and came to Montreal. McGee’s expansive intellect with its histor- ic sweep, immediately visualized the , Lots of Jobs For Lindy .

Expect Big Strawberry Crop Strawberry producers and fruit of- ficials of the Provincial and Federal governments estimate that this year’s strawberry crop will be one of the largest on record. The record straw- berry shipment from British Columbie to the Fairies of Western Canada was in 1921 when 130 cars were shipped by British Columbia growers. This year the estimate is 114 cars, not in~ eluding less than carload shipments, which are much heavier nowadays. Government permits are $2, cash, government liquors are also cash, but groceries, oats and shoes and other necessaries f life, and gas tooâ€"well they can be charged.

He caught at once the vision of a great Confederationéthe union of our pr0< vinces in a federal system; and in 1860, years before many contempor- ary statesmen had even dreamed of Confederation he made this prophet- ic utterance:â€" “I see in the remote distance one great nationality bofind like the shield of Achilles by the blue rim of the ocean. I see within the mun". of that shield the peaks of the western moun- tains and the crests of the eastern waves, the winding Assiniboine, the/ five-fold lakes, the St. Lawrence, the Saguenay, the St. John, the Basin of Minas. By all these flowing watâ€" ers in all the valleys they fertilize in all the cities they visit in their cour- ses, I see a generation of industrious, contented, moral men, free in name and in factâ€"men capable of main- taining in peace and in war, a consti- itution worthy of such a country. The years that followed saw McGee in opposition to the Cartier-Macdon- ald administration, a member of the Sandfield Macflonald-Sicotte Governâ€" ment, the Minister of Agriculture in the cabinet of Sir E. Tache. But it was as the prophet of Confedera- tion that he became best known. His was the sweep and range of mind which germinated the idea; his elo- 1quent pen and tongue which fastenâ€" ed it upon the consciousness of the disunited provinces; and to the very 'end, when faint hearts contributed but doubts and fears, his was the voice that soared most confidently and perâ€" suasively on to the final victory. Without the statesmanship of Mac- donald, the patriotism of Cartier, and the moral courage of Brown, union could not have been achieved, but it still stands true that withoutthe vis- ion and eloquence of McGee their co- operation could not have been secured. “It was D’Arcy McGee,’[ declared Ar- thur Meighen, “who was the trium- phant missionary of Union.
