Cole, George M., President and Manager of the Plattsburgh Gas and Electric Company, Plattsburgh, N.Y., U.S.A., was born at Brockville, Ont., December 31, 1862, his father being W. H. Cole. Receiving his early education at the Brockville Public and High School, Mr. Cole migrated to the United States in 1887 where, as a contractor, he was connected with the construction of several early street railways in that country; building the first in Columbia, South Carolina; Ansonia, Connecticut; and Newburgh, New York; in addition to an extension to existing lines in Brooklyn, New York. Two years later, in 1889, he purchased the Plattsburgh Gas Works in partnership with a New York capitalist and became the Manager of the business, which position he still occupies. So successful was the undertaking that Mr. Cole was approached by the owners of the Plattsburgh Electric Lighting Plant with the result that the two works were amalgamated in 1890 and very considerably enlarged. By this time the old-fashioned horse cars had become a thing of the past and George Cole obtained a franchise for the construction of a modern street railway, which he built and managed for some years in addition to supplying the necessary power for its operation.

Bronson, Hon. Erskine Henry, was born at Bolton, Warren County, New York, September 12, 1844. He is the son of the late Henry Franklin and Edith (Pierce) Bronson, the one man who, coming to Ottawa, Canada, in 1852, understood the feasibility of converting the large lakes and furious and foaming falls of the Ottawa River into a channel for the driving of saw-logs, and erecting mills on its banks, placed in operation a lumber industry that soon had in its employ hundreds, and afterwards thousands of employees. Having received a good education at Sandy Hill, N.Y., and at the Grammar School, Ottawa, when quite a youth, the Hon. Erskine Henry Bronson, joined his father’s company, The Bronson-Weston Lumber Company, and in 1867 acquired an interest in the company. In 1870 he became a member of the Ottawa City Council and chairman of the Finance Committee, and continued as such until 1878, when he retired. For fourteen years he was a member of the Ottawa School Board. He is ex-Trustee of Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. Unlike his father, who never interested himself in politics, in 1882 Mr. Bronson was an unsuccessful candidate to the House of Commons for Carleton County, Ontario; but in 1886, having had presented to him a petition signed by thousands of the best and most influential residents in the Capital urgently soliciting him to become a candidate for the local Legislature, he consented to run and was elected by a large majority, and re-elected at every succeeding election until 1898, when he retired from active political life. In 1890, September 10, four years after he was first elected, he joined the Mowat Government without Portfolio and held a similar position when the Hardy Government was formed. Had he so desired he could probably have remained a member of the local Legislature even to this date, as few, if any, in Ottawa were or are more appreciated or ever received more popularity than the same Hon. Erskine Henry Bronson. The poor of the city, to whom his firm in winter time never failed to extend the helping hand in furnishing them with winter fuel and in other ways, could never forget, nor overlook, his kindly and substantial consideration of their needs and his name was, and is to-day, cherished in every home. To others, with whom he came in contact, he was always a valuable friend and counsellor, and his advice on financial and other matters was eagerly sought and freely given. On his father’s decease Mr. Bronson succeeded him as President of the Bronson-Weston Lumber Company, in 1889. He was one of the inaugurators of the Ottawa Electric Company. Mr. Bronson is President of the Bronson Company, Water Power and Manufacturers of Ground Wood Pulp, 150 Middle Street, Ottawa; President, Ottawa Improvement Company; Vice-President, Ottawa Light, Heat & Power Company; President, Ottawa Power Company, and a director of the Ottawa Electric Company.

Wm. Patterson, and accompanied the Minister to England in 1902, doing the secretarial work there connected with the trade questions that were discussed at the Colonial Conference. His services were also utilized in connection with the trade negotiations with the French Government at Paris. He held the position of Assistant Commissioner of Customs of Canada for five years, and was Secretary of the Tariff Commission of 1906-07. He promoted and organized the Canadian Western Natural Gas, Light, Heat and Power Company, Calgary. He was appointed Imperial Trade Correspondent for Ottawa District for the British Board of Trade in 1909. Although one of the old, steadfast and prominent Liberals in the capital, he joined and became active in the ranks of the Unionist Party during the general elections in 1917, and, as publicity director, rendered valuable service to the Unionist cause. His pithy paragraphs and pointed questions, such as “How would the Kaiser Vote?” which were printed in the campaign literature and in the press throughout Canada, attracted widespread attention and were used with telling effect by the various public speakers during the campaign. Mr. Bain is the son of Robert and Agnes Bain and was born at Paisley, Scotland, June 8, 1869, where he received his education. April 5, 1899, he married Maude Buckley, daughter of P.

De Celles, Alfred Duclos, LL.D., F.R.S.C., C.M.G., Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, General Librarian of Parliament, was born at St. Laurent, near Montreal, in 1844, and was educated at Laval University, Quebec, where he graduated in letters.

In 1867, Mr. De Celles, on account of ill-health, left the Laval University to take up the editorial chair of “Le Journal de Quebec” during Mr. Cauchon’s absence in Europe. On the return of the latter he remained connected with the paper until 1872, when he entered the “Minerve”, chief Conservative paper of the province of Quebec, as editor-in-chief. He remained there until 1880, when he was appointed assistant librarian of the Parliamentary Library of Ottawa. In 1886, he became joint librarian with Mr. Martin J. Griffin. For several years after he entered the Library he had charge of “L’Opinion Publique,” a weekly paper published in Montreal, chiefly devoted to literature and history. Mr. De Celles, in 1896, published a History of the United States under the following title: “Les Etats-Unis, origine—institutions—development.” For this work he received a prize from the Academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques of France. A few years later he wrote in English, the Life of Papineau and Cartier, in “The Makers of Canada.” This work was subsequently published in French, in an enlarged form, together with a Life of Cartier, the three volumes forming a political history of Canada. Reviewing Mr. De Celles’ Papineau, the London “Outlook” (Jan. 13, 1906) summed up this work as follows: “Mr. De Celles has traced this out through the quarter of a century in which Papineau was the most brilliant, if not the most wise figure in French-Canadian politics, with the natural sympathy of a compatriot, though by no means without due recognition of his hero’s failings. . . . He has given us an admirable picture of a strange and picturesque career. Everyone has heard of Papineau, and most Canadians have some idea of his achievements, but little probably of his personality.” Mr. De Celles has also contributed to “Canada and Its Provinces,” a synopsis of the History of Quebec under Confederation and an extensive history of colonization under this title: “The Habitant”: and an outline of the municipal system in Lower Canada. He has contributed to The Chronicles of Canada the “Patriotes of 1837,” a history of the Canadian Rebellion. In 1904, he was named Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur, and in 1907 received the title of C.M.G. In 1884, he was received Member of the Royal Society, and since 1903 he has occupied the post of President of l’Alliance Française. Mr. De Celles is in religion a Catholic, and he resides in Ottawa.

His father Thomas Rees Brock, was of an ancient English family who were landed proprietors near Colchester in the County of Essex. His mother was Eleanor Thompson, daughter of Thomas Thompson, of Rusheen, Queen’s County, Ireland. The young couple, aged respectively 17 and 21 years, were married at the Parish Church in Guelph and after the ceremony rode on horseback to their new home five miles away in “the wild woods.” After a few years of life on the farm Mr. Brock was persuaded that a man of his education and attainments could do better in the town and he removed to Guelph where he held several appointments as Town Auditor, Secretary of the School Board, Superintendent of the Government Road and Surrogate Court Clerk. In the fall of 1850, while out shooting in the woods, he was accidentally shot and died at his residence, Park Place, a few days afterwards, aged thirty-eight years, leaving his widow with nine children surviving. The stone house he built on the York Road is still standing. The subject of this sketch was the second child and eldest son. He immediately left the Guelph Grammar School and went into the law office of the Hon. Ferguson Blair, where he remained about a year, deciding to enter commercial life, in which he achieved so conspicuous a success. His first employment was in a general store in Caledonia. About 1854 he located in Toronto, being engaged with Scott & Laidlaw. He married on the 23rd of September, 1857, Margaret Anna, second daughter of Captain John Segur Diamond, formerly of Clonenagh, Queen’s County, Ireland, who came to Canada in 1834, and served through the rebellion of 1837 as Adjutant of the 2nd Gore Regiment.

Although advanced in years Mr. Brock retained his keen business acumen right through and served to the last in an advisory capacity to the directors of the W. R. Brock Company. By virtue of exceptional ability, organizing genius, hard work, adaptability, generosity and an appreciative attitude toward those in his employment, he was able to develop one of the outstanding mercantile houses of the Dominion. He held the esteem of the merchants in practically all the primary markets of the world. In Canadian industry he was declared to be an international figure. The memory of William Rees Brock will long live as a man noted for his commercial integrity, splendid philanthropy, and public enterprises. He was endowed with a winning personality, and his influence in public affairs was always for good. He was a staunch supporter of British Connection, and believed in promoting closer trade relations between Canada and the Mother Country. He lived a long, useful, and upright life, an inspiration to others, who would merit the approval of their fellows, and the close of a career so full of years and honors was regarded as a public loss.

Bethune, the Rev. Charles Jas. Stewart, M.A., D.C.L., the distinguished subject of this sketch, was born at West Flamboro’, Ontario, on August 11, 1838. He is the third son of the Right Rev. Alexander Neil Bethune second Bishop of Toronto, and Jane Eliza, eldest daughter of the late Hon. James Crooks. The Bethune family traces its lineage very far back in Scottish and French historical records. The first of the name who left Normandy for the British Isles came to Scotland in the reign of Malcolm the Third, a contemporary of William the Conqueror, in the eleventh century. The first of the family to come to Canada was the Rev. John Bethune, a U.E. Loyalist from North Carolina, and chaplain to a Highland regiment, who settled with his comrades in the county of Glengarry, Ontario, towards the end of the 18th century. He was the father of the late Bishop of Toronto and Dean Bethune, of Montreal, and grandfather of the subject of this sketch. Young Bethune was educated at private schools at Cobourg and Upper Canada College, Toronto. After leaving the latter institution he entered Trinity College, Toronto, and graduated therefrom in 1859 with first-class classical honors and the B.A. degree. He took his M.A. in 1861, and received the honorary degree of D.C.L. from his Alma Mater in 1883, in recognition of his zealous and worthy services at Trinity College School. He was ordained deacon in 1861 and priest in 1862, by the late Bishop Strachan of Toronto. He was curate until 1866, with his father, then Rector of Cobourg, with the exception of a short period spent in England in 1863-64, when he was curate at Carlton, near Selby, in Yorkshire. In 1866 he was appointed to the charge of the Credit Mission in the County of Peel, Ont., where he was instrumental in building the churches at Dixie and Port Credit. In September, 1870, he was appointed Head Master of Trinity College School at Port Hope. From a very small beginning he raised up this school to be one of the most widely known and successful in the Dominion. He had a staff of eight assistant masters, about 140 pupils, and large and handsome buildings with extensive grounds. He resigned the headmastership in 1899, and removed to London, Ontario, where he remained for seven years. During the greater part of that period he was curator and librarian of the Entomological Society of Ontario. He assisted in forming the London Horticultural Society and was its president for two years. Dr. Bethune gave much of his attention to scientific pursuits and he is well known in the United States and Great Britain, as likewise in Canada, as an entomologist. He was one of the founders of the Entomological Society of Ontario and its Secretary-Treasurer for seven years. He was president of the same society from 1870 to 1875, and has continued since to be a member of its council. He was entomological editor of the “Canada Farmer” for nine years, and editor of the “Canadian Entomologist” from its inception in 1868 to 1873, and from 1887 to 1909, when he was elected editor emeritus. He has written a large number of papers on Practical and Scientific Entomology in these and other publications, and contributed repeatedly to the annual report on insects presented to the Legislature of Ontario. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the advancement of Science and has attended its meetings at various places in the United States, is a member of several Canadian scientific societies and a corresponding member of scientific societies in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, Davenport, Brooklyn, Halifax, and other places. He is also a member of the Corporation of the University of Trinity College. He was Honorary Clerical Secretary of the Synod of the Diocese of Toronto from 1869 to 1871, and has been repeatedly elected a representative of the diocese at the meetings of the Provincial Synod in Montreal. He was a delegate from the diocese of Toronto to the general synod of the Church of England in Canada at Winnipeg in 1896, and was appointed clerical secretary of the Lower House in 1902, holding that position at the meetings in Montreal and Quebec and resigning at the Ottawa meeting in 1908; elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1892, and became President of Section 4 in the year 1900; was one of the original promoters of the Sisterhood of St. John the Divine in Toronto and filled the position of Warden for some years. On the first of June, 1906, he was appointed Professor of Entomology and Zoology at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, which position he still holds. He assisted in the formation of the American Association of Economic Entomologists and of the American Entomological Society; of the latter he is one of the original Fellows. He was elected President of the Entomological Society of Ontario for its Jubilee year, 1913. He is Honorary President of the Wellington Field Naturalists’ Club, of the Guelph Horticultural Society and of the Trinity College School Cricket Club. Since going to Guelph he has published bulletins on insects affecting fruit trees and vegetables of which several editions have been issued by the Department of Agriculture of Ontario. He has frequently visited England and travelled in the United States and Europe. Dr. Bethune has always been a member of the Church of England and associated with the “High Church” school of thought. He married on April 21, 1863, Alice, second daughter of Lieut.-Colonel Forlong, K.H., of Toronto, late of Her Majesty’s 43rd Regiment of Light Infantry, and his wife, Sophia, daughter of the Hon.

Clark, John Murray, M.A., LL.B., K.C. (Toronto, Ont.), born at St. Mary’s, Ont., July 6, 1860, of Scottish descent, his parents being James and Isabella Clark. Educated at St. Mary’s Collegiate Institute, Toronto University and Osgoode Hall. His career at the University was particularly brilliant. He won the prize in Logic awarded by the late Professor J. P. Young, the Blake Scholarship on Constitutional Law, Economics and Jurisprudence, the McMurrich Medal in Natural Science and Gold Medal in Mathematics and Physics, and the prize on Minority Representation, graduating with the degree of B.A. in 1882, M.A. 1884, LL.B. 1891, and being called to the Bar in 1886, with honours, and winning the Law Society’s Gold Medal, since which time he has practised in Toronto where he is recognized as one of the leaders of the Bar and is head of the firm of Clark, McPherson, Campbell & Jarvis. Has been retained as Counsel in a large number of cases of great magnitude and importance, such as the Quaker Case, Ontario Express Company, Fisheries Case, and the Ophir case, and has frequently pleaded before the Privy Council in England. Appointed a K.C. in 1889; in early life was Mathematical Master of St. Mary’s Collegiate Institute and for several years Examiner in Physics, Toronto University, of which he was appointed as Senator in 1892. Is also Vice-President Toronto University Alumni Association. Formerly President Mathematical and Physics Society and University College Literary and Scientific Society. Few men in Canada have exhibited more scholarly attainments than the subject of this sketch, whose versatility in Science, Literature, as well as original research has been remarkable, and of great benefit. Notwithstanding the high place which Mr. Clark occupies in the field of letters and the wide knowledge he has of science and literature, he is widely known on account of his great abilities as a lawyer which have placed him in the front rank of the legal profession in Canada. Many of his cases have been of first-class importance and some of them of great public interest. Among the first in which he won a signal victory was that of Dorland and Jones, the famous Quaker Case from Prince Edward County, Ontario. The recent decision of the House of Lords, giving the “Wee Frees” the property of the Free Church of Scotland recalls the Quaker Case here. Mr. Clark argued before the Supreme Court at Ottawa that the Church had the right to make changes in its Constitution, even though that Constitution itself did not specifically authorize it to do so. The view was adopted by the United Free Church lawyers in Edinburgh in the case arising from the union of the Free and United Presbyterian Churches of Scotland, and the Court of Session, the High Court of Justice sustained that view. The “Wee Free” (as the Free Church minority was commonly called), appealed to the House of Lords, and contrary to all expectation, won, and obtained possession of the vast property of the Church. The situation was so tense that a special Act of Parliament was passed to adjust conditions. In quite a number of constitutional cases reaching through the Canadian Courts to the Privy Council, Mr. Clark has figured, and invariably with success. The same is true regarding commercial cases and large mining cases in which a long and extended experience has given him such a mastery as few of his compeers possess. Quite recently the “Ophir” mining case, which he brought to a successful conclusion, through a tedious and tortuous course of litigation, ending in the Privy Council, has excited the attention of the legal profession and of the public, both because it decided the question of the Indian title so far as Ontario is concerned, and because a similar situation is becoming acute in British Columbia. Mr. Clark has made several notable speeches in England where he is regarded as an accomplished jurist, and few men are so well versed in the political and constitutional history of this Dominion or more fully seized of its great resources. The London “Times” and several other prominent English papers a few years ago referred in high praise to Mr. Clark’s speech on “Canada and the Navy” delivered before a notable gathering, including Lord Strathcona the late High Commissioner for Canada. Mr. Clark is one of the foremost mathematical authorities in Canada and his work has been commended by so high an authority as Lord Kelvin, while he is regarded both in this country and in England as an authority on Constitutional law. He has won distinction as an author, and has written several standard works and papers, among which may be mentioned “Law of Mines in Canada,” which was written in collaboration with the Hon. W. D. McPherson, Provincial Secretary of Ontario. “Company Law,” “The Ontario Mining Law,” “International Arbitration,” “Canada’s Future and the Empire,” “History of the Theory of Energy,” and “The Functions of a great University.” Has lectured on the “Value of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council,” “Canada and the Navy,” etc. The work on Mining Law referred to is recognized as an authority on the subject dealt with, and has been highly praised by the Harvard Law Review of the Law Magazine of England as well as by the Canadian Press. The “Mining Journal” stated that “the book had the impress of clear and legal learning,” and the work has also been described as a monument of research, care and industry. Recently Mr. Clark has been elected President of the Royal Canadian Institute, founded by Sir John Lefroy (whose grandson, Lieut. Lefroy, gallantly fell on Vimy Ridge). In referring to the new President’s appointment “The Mail and Empire” said: “Mr. Clark well represents the best that we have in character, intellect, scholarship and public spirit. A distinguished graduate of Toronto University, the new President, far from leaving the avenues of learning, as some do when they graduate, has ever increased his stores, and has successfully striven not only to broaden and deepen his knowledge, but to devote it to the service of his fellow-men, as witness Mr. Clark’s strong and convincing advocacy of the Canadian Government availing itself of the great scientific attainments and progressive scholarship of men like Professors Macallum and McLennan. For many years one of the foremost advocates in Canada of that great constitutional change in Imperial relations which is to-day being forged on the anvil of war, Mr. Clark has been a powerful and sagacious leader in that movement on this side of the water. In the prosecution of that enterprise he has deservedly won the regard and friendship of some of the leading scholars and statesmen of our Empire.” The “Globe,” in the course of a favorable review, said that his Presidential Address on “The Reign of Law,” “will appeal to thoughtful readers as a scholarly contribution to a subject which derives fresh interest from the war.” Mr. Clark has given considerable study to the question of our gold supply which has proved a potent factor in the financing of the great war, and will be even a more important factor in the reconstruction period after the war according to the viewpoint of Mr. Clark, who takes the position that the increase in the production of gold be encouraged in every practical way. Politically, Mr. Clark has always been a member of the Liberal Party, and was formerly President of the Young Men’s Liberal Club of Toronto, but, in the Federal general elections of 1917 he supported the Union Government. He favors Canada remaining an integral portion of the British Empire, the utmost practicable extension of the principle of free trade, and the development of a vigorous Canadian National Sentiment. Married first Greta Helen Gordon, daughter of Rev. D. Gordon, and sister of “Ralph Connor,” 1890 (deceased 1894); second, Annie Macleod Anderson, daughter of late W. N. Anderson, Toronto, 1899 (deceased, 1910); third, Caroline Chaplin, daughter of late William Chaplin, St. Catharines; has three daughters, i.e., Mary Gordon (now Mrs. W. A.

His judgments are models of beautiful diction, in which the exposition of the law is clear and illuminating, while his grasp of the facts makes for that clarity of deduction which always characterizes his Lordship’s deliverances. Mr. Justice Riddell has been a generous contributor to various American and Canadian magazines and law journals, and the author of “The Canadian and American Constitutions.” As a lecturer he is recognized as possessing high gifts; his ripe erudition and polished style making his addresses of more than passing interest.

Paisley, Jas. K. (Ottawa). One of the best known and highly respected citizens in the Capital of the Dominion and in many other parts of Canada, both east and west, is the subject of this sketch. Following in his father’s footsteps, who owned and successfully ran a popular hotel in Orangeville, at an early age he became, and for years remained, cashier of the well known hostelry—the Walker House, Toronto. His experiences in that popular public resort and his popularity prompted aspirations and ambitions which caused him to launch out in enterprises of his own, and he soon became proprietor of several of the best hotels in the principal cities and summer resorts in Canada. In 1902 he was one of the owners of the New Royal in Hamilton where business success and increased patronage prompted the owners to remodel it in 1907. He took management of the Penetanguishene Hotel at Penetang and made it one of the attractive features of the place. He reached out and got management of the Sans Souci at Moon River, the Belvidere in Parry Sound, the Iroquois Hotel in Toronto, the Victoria Hotel at Aylmer, Quebec, the Grand Union, Ottawa, and, with the late Daniel O’Connor, built the Temagami Inn at Temagami, Ontario. In each and all these ventures success and popularity followed in his train and created for him unstinted fame as an enterprising, progressive and popular hotel proprietor and manager. And while so actively engaged in the hotel business Mr. Paisley, being an enthusiastic lover of the horse, found time to give to that noble animal the most assiduous care and attention, and much of his time for years was devoted to the purchase, the raising, and the training of some of the finest saddle, harness and trotting steeds to be found in any part of Canada. They established, for their owner, on many a race track and at many a horse show enviable records. His Sealskin Joe was one of those that won distinction on the Winnipeg racecourse many years ago. Later his saddle horse, Jardie, was accorded the admiration of all. Shortly after his arrival in Ottawa, where he first established himself as proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel, he became interested in such affairs—public, charitable, patriotic and social—as had for their goal the prosperity of the city and the happiness and betterment of its people, and his many years activity in these lines are well marked in the memory of thousands. Mr. Paisley, never allowing his enthusiasm for the horse to die, took a keen interest in, and became one of the original members of, the Ottawa Hunt Club; was Treasurer of the Horse Show while it exhibited here; became Chairman of the Construction Committee that built the Connaught Park Jockey Club Track, and is now a director and one of the Management Committee of the Connaught Park Jockey Club. For years Mr. Paisley has been a Director of the Central Canada Exhibition Association, and held the office of Vice-President, and for a considerable time was Chairman of the Special Attraction Committee. In 1915, owing to the resignation of Mr. Edward McMahon, who had held the position of Manager and Secretary of the Central Canada Exhibition Association for over twenty years, and to replace whose efficient management the Association had to select a competent and reliable successor, Mr. James K. Paisley was chosen, with the result that up to date the fair has been an increased success financially and in attendance. In his management of the Exhibition’s affairs he carries with him a geniality and a business acumen that attracts, establishes confidence, and produces good results. When the Great War broke out, Mr. Paisley’s son, familiarly known as “Pep” Paisley, who had graduated from McGill as an architect, enlisted with A. Battery, R.C.H.A., as a gunner and was soon, owing to meritorious conduct at the front, promoted to a Lieutenancy. His valor and good work at the firing line received much praise from his superior officers. Mr. James K. Paisley is the son of John Paisley and Mrs. M. J. Kenniston of Orangeville, Ontario. He was born in 1858 and was educated in Orangeville High School and Rockwood Academy. In 1888 he married Minnie Bairdsall Harris, daughter of the late Isaac Harris. He has one son and two daughters. His recreations are sports of any kind. He is an active member of the Elks, the Knights of Pythias, and the Foresters, and an executive member of the Hotelmen’s Mutual Benefit Association of America and Canada, Ex-President of the Ontario Hotel Keepers’ Association, and Ex-President of the Ottawa Hotelmen’s Association. In religion he is a Protestant, English Church. In politics a Conservative, and his address is Kenniston Apartments, Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Cowan, William Frederick, The Late, who died on October 28, 1918, at his home in Oshawa, Ont., was long one of the noted industrial and financial leaders of Ontario. He was born in 1832, at Fintona, County Tyrone, Ireland, the son of Thomas and Charlotte Cowan. In 1841, his parents having decided to remove to Canada, he made with them the long sailing and overland voyage to Toronto, the journey occupying some months. Shortly after the family’s arrival the father died and the mother of the subject of this sketch was left with five young children. She managed, however, to give her boys a good education at Boyd’s Academy, Bay St., Toronto (conducted by the father of the late Chancellor Sir John Boyd) and one of the pioneer educational institutions of Toronto. On leaving school, W. F. Cowan first found employment with “The Colonist,” a newspaper founded by Sir Francis Hincks, an eminent statesman of the mid-nineteenth century. Subsequently he entered the employ of Alexander Laurie & Co., dry goods merchants, at the south-west corner of King and Yonge Sts., Toronto. Later he served with Walter McFarland & Co., dry goods merchants, on Market Square, King St. East, Toronto, then the heart of the retail district. In 1856 he and his brother John founded a dry goods business of their own, at the south-west corner of Yonge and Richmond Sts., Toronto. In 1862 he removed to Oshawa, establishing a large general store, and with a branch at Prince Albert some twenty miles north of the town. A few years later he acquired an interest in the A. S. Whiting Mfg. Co. of Cedar Dale, manufacturers of scythes, forks, hoes, etc., the firm becoming Messrs. Whiting & Cowan. Largely through Mr. Cowan’s modern methods of business organization, the wares of this firm became known throughout America; and Mr. Cowan was also successful in developing a large market for them in Great Britain. In 1872, in conjunction with Messrs. Wood & Winterbourne, of Albany, N.Y., he founded the Ontario Malleable Iron Co., of which Mr. D. S. Wood was the first president, and on his death was succeeded by Mr. Cowan’s elder brother John. On the latter’s death Mr. W. F. Cowan succeeded to the Presidency. He had been a director of the company since its inception. He was largely instrumental in making Oshawa one of the leading industrial centres of the province. In 1893 he established Fittings, Ltd., of Oshawa, of which he was also President at the time of his death. Altogether his interests furnished steady employment to about 1,000 citizens of the town, of which he was recognized as the industrial leader. Mr. Cowan’s financial interests were even more widely extended. In 1875 he became Vice-President of the newly formed Standard Bank of Canada, and in 1883, on the death of the President, the well-known capitalist, Hon. T. N. Gibbs, succeeded to that office, in which he continued until his demise, making weekly journeys to Toronto to attend meetings of the board until within a few days of his death. In 1886, in company with Mr. T. H. McMillan, he also established the Western Bank of Canada, which, after twenty-six years of active life, was amalgamated with the Standard Bank in 1912. Though often pressed to enter Federal and Provincial politics, he contented himself solely with municipal service and held the post of Reeve of Oshawa, and of Mayor, after its incorporation as a town, for some years. He was a steadfast adherent of the Anglican Church in religion, and a Conservative in politics. In 1864 he married Susan, daughter of the late John Groves, a well-known citizen of Toronto. On his death he left one son, Mr. Frederick W. Cowan, of Oshawa, who succeeds to his interests, and one grandson, Major R. C. Cowan, who has been overseas for the past three years.

For twelve or more years Rev. Father Minehan has been connected with “The Catholic Register,” and has been identified with various organizations for the promotion of temperance, social welfare and the moral uplift of the city. He is Vice-President of the Ontario Branch of the Dominion Temperance Alliance and Vice-President of the Moral and Social Reform League. Father Minehan is as famous for his gifts as a pulpit orator as for his eloquence as a platform speaker. His magnetic personality, frankness and loyalty have given him an assured place in the esteem of all classes. He is a man of indefatigable energy, opposed to intolerance and bigotry, with a mind fixed on the promotion of the highest ideals in all walks of life. He is a frequent contributor to the press, and is a writer of force and choice diction. His reverence favors a Canadian Navy and the development of a policy of protection under the British Flag. He exercises a wide influence both as a clergyman and a private citizen, and at his Silver Jubilee, in 1909, was presented with many proofs of his personal worth, and great popularity. Of him it has been said that he is “truly Catholic in spirit and in service and charity.”

L’Esperance, Hon. David Ovide (Quebec City), Member of the Senate and Chairman of the Harbor Commission of Quebec, was born in the thriving town of Montmagny, in the County of Montmagny, in the Province of Quebec. He is the son of Edouard L’Esperance, his mother’s maiden name having been Morin. His career as a business man, banker and broker, has been a successful one, his connection with sundry influential exploiting firms having given him an influence in public circles which has been enhanced by his acumen as a parliamentarian.

He is President of the Amable Belanger, Ltd., Manufacturing Co., Montmagny, and of the General Car & Machinery Works of the same place. His prominence as a successful business man and his influence as a public-spirited citizen, did not fail to bring him into touch with the political circles of the Conservative Party; and in the year 1911 he was elected a Member of the Federal Parliament for Montmagny. While a member of the House of Commons, his influence as a deliberate speaker and his industry as a member of committees were acknowledged by all associated with him in parliamentary work; and, when the vacancy occurred on the Harbor Commission of Quebec, on the withdrawal of Sir William Price, he was selected to succeed the latter as Chairman of that Board. In July, 1917, he was called to the Senate. His efforts to improve the harbor facilities of the port of Quebec have been appreciated and seconded by the Federal Government and his associates in office, with due recognition of his public spirit and energy by his fellow-citizens and the country at large. In 1888, he married Miss Clara Dionne, of Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, of the Province of Quebec. Their family residence is on Ste. Genevieve Avenue, and their summer residence at Percé, Co. of Gaspé.

MacLean, Archie, R.R. No. 4, Paisley, Ont., was born in Bruce Township, County of Bruce, in 1868, of Highland Scotch parents, and glories in the fact that he has Highland Scotch blood flowing through his veins. He attended the public school in the section in which he lived until he was about thirteen years of age, when, being the eldest of the family, he had to leave school to assist on the farm. His ambition for an education was unquenched and he studied at home, and at the age of twenty-one took a three-months’ course in the public school, secured his matriculation. He went to Port Elgin and Walkerton High School and succeeded in creditably securing a second-class certificate. He taught school for a few years, but the profession at that time not being over-remunerative, he again took up farming, and also engaged in grazing and shipping cattle, which occupation he still successfully follows. In 1901 he was elected to the Township of Bruce Council, where he served for two years. In 1903-4 he was elected to Reeveship of the Township. In 1910 he again contested the Reeveship successfully and held the office until 1912. This office he did not covet for office sake, but being enthused with the true spirit of co-operation for the benefit of all he set the log rolling for the establishment of a municipal telephone system, for the benefit of nine different municipalities, his own native township being the initiating one. This enterprise is now looked upon as the greatest example of co-operation in the whole county. In his efforts he was ably seconded by men who caught his vision. He is at present one of a commission of three, the other two being, D. McNaughton, Ex-M.P.P., and J. J. Hunter, who handle the business of this system. Mr. MacLean is a man of splendid executive ability, which has been shown by his able judgment in all public enterprises with which he has been connected. It has been said that the farmer needs ideas. In his case he has ideas—big ones—and is not afraid to champion them even in the face of strong opposition. He is a leader and a safe one to follow, because of his canny Scotch nature. He is a good public speaker and has such splendid control of himself that he has never been known to show anger even under trying circumstances. In patriotic endeavor he is always to the fore, having done his part ably and conscientiously ever since the war began. As yet he has not taken unto himself a wife. He is a Liberal in politics, and his name has often been mentioned in connection with Parliamentary honors. He is a member of Port Elgin Lodge, No. 429, A.F. & A.M., Camp McCrimmon, S.O.S., and the I.O.O.F. His genial good nature, wide knowledge of municipal affairs and splendid physique, make him an outstanding farmer in any company.

Robertson, Norman (Walkerton, Ont.), author of “The History of the County of Bruce,” and Treasurer of the County of Bruce, Walkerton, Ont., was born on June 27, 1845, in Belleville, Ontario. His father, Peter Robertson, was a merchant of Scottish birth and the son of a Presbyterian minister, at Kilmaurs, Ayrshire. Mr. Robertson’s mother, Sarah Ross, was born in England, although of Highland descent, her grandfather being one of those who followed “Bonnie Prince Charlie” into England in 1745. Norman Robertson attended the Grammar School at Belleville, but left school when only eleven years of age, that he might accompany his father and assist him in his business when he came to the County of Bruce and settled at Kincardine in 1856. The disadvantage arising from leaving school at so early an age was in part overcome by private study and tuition. In 1863 he went to Montreal, taking a position in a wholesale dry goods warehouse, rising to the position of English buyer. In 1877 he returned to Kincardine and took over the business of his father, who retired. He was married at Montreal in 1871, to Lilla M. Warren, daughter of S. R. Warren, builder of church organs at Montreal, and afterwards at Toronto. His family consists of three sons and two daughters.

The position of Treasurer of the County of Bruce became vacant in 1887, and Mr. Robertson was chosen from among twenty-five applicants. A desire to have put in book form and so preserved, the records of the settlement of the County of Bruce, induced the County Council in 1896 to offer a prize for a Historical Sketch of the County. The sketch prepared by Mr. Robertson carried off, jointly with another, the prize. This initial effort was followed in 1906 by a volume of 560 pages bearing the title “The History of the County of Bruce.” This work has been very favorably commented upon and classed as one of the best of the County Histories of the Province that have been published. Mr. Robertson was with the Victoria Rifles, of Montreal, when that regiment went to the front at the time of the Fenian Raids in 1866, and has received his military medal therefor.

He has frequently acted as Crown Counsel at the Provincial Assizes, being retained in several important murder trials, and in that capacity has won distinction and success, by reason of the fact that he has perhaps conducted more criminal cases than any man in Canada. To cite a complete or anything like a complete list of the cases which he has been retained for, would read like a city directory. He was a gentleman of pleasing address, yet withal a forceful orator, and had the faculty of being in a position through his remarkable tenacity to hold the jury and convince them to his way of thinking.

From 1874 to 1879 he followed his trade in the Western States and in the latter year removed to New York City. In 1885 he became a builder on his own account in the American metropolis and continued there for the next twenty-one years. He prospered to an extent that in 1906, at the age of fifty, he was able to retire from business and return to the city where he had spent his youth and for which he had always cherished a deep affection.

Stewart, Charles, first saw the light of day in the pioneer homestead, lot 13, concession 11, Township of Ashfield, County of Huron. His father was David Stewart, of Caithness, Scotland, and his mother Mary McLean, of Ross-shire, Scotland. In 1842 this estimable Scotch couple set sail for Canada, and that same year began their pioneer life on the homestead now occupied by the subject of this sketch. To their son they have imparted their sterling qualities of character. Charles Stewart received his education in the public schools of his native county, but his heart was ever in his chosen occupation of farming and he has become one of the sterling sons of the soil, proud that he knows how to farm and do it well. He is unmarried. Studious by nature, his hobby has ever been municipal affairs, and for nine years he was a member of the municipal council. Four of these, 1914-15-16-17, he occupied the honored position of reeve, retiring in 1918. He was a member of Huron’s County Council, and there as in his own council he was ever found leading in movements for forwarding the country’s interests. He is an advocate of Hydro-Electric and Hydro Radials, feeling that the peculiar geographical situation of the township in which he lives can eventually be served by these two important public utilities. He is a good debater, states his case with Scotch deliberateness, and sticks to his point in the face of all opposition, until convinced that there might be some better way than the one he advocates. Kindly and generous by disposition, he has friends by the score, and has been attested by his continuous representation in the council for so many years. He is an ardent admirer of Highland games and fond of good driving horses, though of late the automobile has superseded his once famous pacer. He is perhaps one of the most aggressive farmers in his community, and his name has from time to time been mentioned for parliamentary honors, but he has refused to be lured into the wider field of political activity. If he should ever run and be elected, he will be a distinct asset to the farmers of Canada, because he knows what they want. He is a member of Lucknow Lodge, No. 184, A.F. & A.M. In politics he is a Liberal, and in religion a Presbyterian.

At college, in journalism, as an author and a writer on economic subjects, and as a Civil Service employee, he has distinguished himself and proved his worth. He captured the Bankers’ Scholarship in Economics and the Wyld Prize in English at the Toronto University; and from the time of his graduation in 1896, taking the degree of B.A. in Classics, to the present, he has given tangible evidence of his literary and constructive ability.

Scott, William Duncan, Superintendent of Immigration for the Government of Canada, is one of the best known citizens of this country both at home and in other lands. He was born at Dundas, Ont., on October 7, 1861, the son of James and Margaret (McEwen) Scott. He was educated at Dundas High School and subsequently entered a law office with a view to qualifying himself for the legal profession. He did not, however, complete his studies, for the virgin country of Manitoba, which was just then being opened up to the world, called him, as in the case of many another young man, from Eastern Canada. He went West in 1881 at the age of twenty and entered the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway, then in course of construction, and later was employed by the Manitoba Government. In 1887 he was appointed Immigration Agent for that government with offices at Winnipeg. In 1895 he removed to the city of Toronto and continued to act as Immigration Agent for Manitoba in that city, incidentally helping to populate the prairie province with many desirable settlers. His general knowledge of the resources of Canada and his qualities of good-fellowship led to his appointment as Canadian Commissioner at the Paris Exposition of 1899; and from thence until 1903 he acted in a similar capacity at other International exhibitions, at which the Government of Canada was represented by displays and bureaus of information. In the latter year he was appointed Superintendent of the Immigration Branch of the Department of the Interior and removed to Ottawa where he has ever since resided. The period of Mr. Scott’s appointment was that in which immigration to the Canadian North-West not only from Europe but from the United States was at its zenith and he was very active in assisting to build up population in the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 1911 the post of Chief Controller of Chinese Immigration under treaties newly effected with the Government of China was added to his duties, and he is now the most important factor in all branches of immigration in this country, with a large staff under his control.

Askwith, John E., is Ottawa’s Police Magistrate, to which position he was appointed by the Ontario Government, April 23, 1918. Mr. Askwith was born in Ottawa and, practically, Ottawa has remained his home to this day. For forty years Mr. Askwith was in business as a contractor, both on structural and railway work and the Government Bureau, the Halifax Armory, and many other public buildings bear testimony to his zeal. He has been of considerable benefit and has rendered good services to the city of Ottawa in more ways than one. For eleven years he sat in the City Council as representative for Rideau Ward. He served as Chairman of the Parks Commission and had much to do in the acquisition of Rockliffe Park. In 1901 the Conservatives of Russell County selected him as their candidate for the House of Commons and, while he met with defeat, he gave his opponent a sharp contest. For three years he was President of the Association for the Blind and was and is a hard worker in the interest of the Protestant Old Men’s Home. His contributions to the various Ottawa Public Institutions are numerous and his attentions to them so constant and earnest that he is rightfully called an unmistakeable philanthropist. Following in his father’s footsteps as an enthusiast for Volunteer Military Service, Mr. Askwith served for seven years in the Ottawa Field Battery, and on two occasions marched to the front in defence of home and country. Even now he walks with the military stride. Mr. Askwith was appointed Deputy Magistrate in 1907, and since 1916 up to the time when he received his promotion in March, 1918, had to administer the law alone as during the intervening time Magistrate O’Keefe was too ill to attend Court, and no Deputy was appointed. In addition, as Deputy Magistrate, Mr. Askwith presided over the Juvenile Court, and is doing so even now, and it is owing to his sound judgment and fatherly consideration for erring youngsters that a vast improvement has taken place in the conduct of the Juveniles in the city. In the Police Court as well as in the Juvenile Court he has been stern and wise in his decisions. He metes out law and justice with common sense and discretion and never allows technicalities or quibbles to interfere with his disposal of cases, and he holds the explicit confidence of the public. Magistrate John E. Askwith was born of English parents, in 1841, and was educated in the Little Red School House in Ottawa. On September 26, 1865, he married Annie, daughter of the late John Fotheringham, and has two sons, William R. and John F., who is a Lieutenant in service in France; he is 36 years old and in 1915 enlisted with a company from McGill University to reinforce the Princess Pats, but was transferred to a Western Battalion. He went through several important engagements in which the Canadian Forces took part, including Vimy Ridge; and two daughters Margaret F., and Bessie, who is married to O. E. Culbert, Barrister, Calgary. In religion Mr. Askwith is a Protestant, and in politics a Conservative. He resides at 24 Alexander Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Nickle, William Folger, K.C., B.A. (Kingston, Ont.), was born at Kingston, Dec. 31, 1869, son of William Nickle (Scotch), and Ellen Mary Folger (American). Educated at private schools, Kingston Collegiate Institute, Queen’s University and Osgoode Hall; graduated from Queen’s with degree of B.A. in 1892; called to the Bar, Osgoode Hall, 1895; member of legal firm of Nickle, Farrell & Day, Kingston. He was twice married: first, September 11, 1895, to Agnes Mary, daughter of Joseph McAdam, St. Thomas; second, June 6, 1911, to Katharine Louise, daughter of Rev. D. D. Gordon, Principal of Queen’s University. Five children, William McAdam 1897, Douglas Joseph 1899, Evelyn Marion 1902, Alexander Gordon 1916, and Catherine Maclennan Nickle 1918. He is a member of the following clubs: Kingston, Country, Yacht, Frontenac, The Rideau, Ottawa and the Toronto Club; is also a Mason, Oddfellow and a member of the Sons of Scotland. Mr. Nickle takes an active interest in all amateur sports. He is trustee of Queen’s University, Governor of Kingston Hospital; elected to the Kingston School Board in 1895, City Council in 1896, and again in 1897, for three years. He was member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for Kingston from 1908 to 1911, when he resigned seat to contest same constituency at the general election for the House of Commons, and was elected as the Liberal-Conservative candidate, and re-elected at the general elections in December, 1917. He is a Presbyterian in religion. The member for Kingston has played a very active part in the city of his birth and has been prominently identified with the municipal, educational and social life, and has carved a secure place in the confidence and respect of his fellow-citizens. He has greatly distinguished himself in public life, for which he has displayed much talent, and his sterling integrity is recognized by his fellow-members in the House of Commons. Mr. Nickle is a forceful speaker, with a convincing style and a pleasing and magnetic personality. His career in the House of Commons has been marked by a spirit of independence and adherence to conviction. In 1913 he took issue with the Government on the granting of certain additional aid to the Canadian Northern Railway; and maintained that if the people had to build the railroads they should own and operate them. His position at that time has since been justified overwhelmingly by public sentiment and the general course of events. In April of 1918 Mr. Nickle once more achieved great prominence as the effective voice of the Canadian people in connection with the titles controversy. He introduced a motion in the House of Commons requesting that representations be made to the Imperial Government that hereafter no hereditary titles should be granted in Canada. In a speech replete with convincing historical detail on the obsolete nature of hereditary honors he also stated his conviction that it would be better if no further titular distinctions of any kind were granted, except those of an officiary character. He felt, however, that public sentiment on the question was not sufficiently ripe to permit him to jeopardize his resolution on the subject of hereditary honors, by making it as wide as his personal views would indicate. Subsequently Mr. R. L. Richardson, M.P. for Richmond, Manitoba, moved a resolution demanding that no titular honors of any kind be granted thereafter. This was defeated on the Prime Minister declaring it to be a want-of-confidence motion. On this motion Mr. Nickle was placed in the peculiar position of having to abandon the Government or his personal convictions, but decided to stick by conviction. Another broad principle that was discussed as a result of Mr. Nickle’s original motion was whether the Government of Canada should not be consulted before titular distinctions were conferred by the Crown on Canadians resident in this country. The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, announced that he had accepted this principle, except in connection with military honors, so that Mr. Nickle may be regarded as having materially aided in checking an abuse which was becoming a cause of public unrest, by precipitating discussion of the matter.

Tory, John A. (Toronto), one of the leading life insurance men of Canada, was born at Guysboro’, N.S., November 17, 1869, the son of Robert K. and Anora (Ferguson) Tory.

While working in the printing department he also wrote local items and on leaving the “Conservator,” took up newspaper work, joining the staff of the “Evening Telegram” in 1902.

Workman, Mark (Montreal, Que.), was born in Buffalo, N.Y., on August 4, 1864, the son of Isaac and Sarah (Rosenthal) Workman. He received his education in the public schools, and came to Montreal with his father in 1876, joining with him in the clothing business. The lad became the head of the business in 1880, at the remarkably youthful age of sixteen years. With unusual business instinct and untiring industry, the young Workman piloted his enterprise along the course of steady growth until, in 1906, the company of which he remained head was incorporated, and expanded until its travellers covered the whole of Canada, from Atlantic to Pacific. For nearly twenty years now (1917) the Mark Workman Company has been contractors for the British and Canadian Governments for military clothing, and has been responsible for many enormous contracts during the present war. Beyond the confines of his own business, Mr. Workman also found scope for his enterprise and ability. He interested himself extensively in Canadian industry, notably the Dominion Steel Corporation, of which he is one of the largest shareholders and was elected President in 1916. Endowed with foresight and courage, attributes which helped to raise him to his enviable position in the business world, he believed that the formation of the Dominion Iron and Steel Company, with its adjunct, the Dominion Coal Company, would not only open the way for a gigantic steel enterprise in Canada which would take care of the big domestic business in the Dominion, but also extend to other parts of the Empire and to foreign countries. He believed in the future of the undertaking, invested money in it, fought it successfully through the dark days of its early experience, and won out.

He is a life Governor of the Montreal General Hospital and other hospitals and charitable institutions, to the funds of which he is a liberal contributor.

Canada is indebted to Col. Peuchen for his ingenuity in being the first man to grasp the possibility of utilizing the unmarketable portions of our hardwood forests in a scientific way. In travelling he observed that England and France had virtually no forests, and knowing that the Canadian lumberman was only taking from our woods the flotable timber, leaving the unmerchantable coarse hardwood, he conceived the idea of turning this waste into the manufacturing of valuable chemicals: Acetic Acid, Acetate of Lime, Acetone, Wood Alcohol and Formaldehyde, the latter being so important for the successful growing of wheat in Canada, and the former for the dyeing industry; also benefited the English War Office by being the first man under the British Flag to produce acetone direct from wood, which he supplied the Admiralty in large quantities for the manufacture of high explosives, such as cordite. Introduced our present system of charcoal distribution in paper bags. With Sir Wm. McKenzie and others he organized the Standard Chemical Company with a small capital, which he gradually through his unbounded energy increased to five millions—beginning in 1897 by distilling only 22 tons of wood per day, eventually by 1913 this distillation was increased to over 1,000 tons.
