Editor iament, I could not help but think of the curious twists asd turns of which public life gives so many evidences, when I saw the former leader of the Conservative party (Mr. Meighen), one who had held the position of Prime Minister of Canada occupying a position to the left of His Excell- ency, the Governor-General, as leader o.' the Upper House, when I knew that his ambitions had always been more clo?ely p.ssociated with the House of Commons and when I re- flected thiit to tho right of the Parliament Opened Parliament is once again opened with all pomp and ceremony. The main body <!' the Senate Chamber had leathered within it the high dignitaries the Judges, in their .-scarlet and ermine vert- .sitting back on the woolsack immediately below the Governor- General's Thron". representative; of other countries, heads of the different churches, senators, and the Crated ladies of Social Ottawa were sauted beautifully dreroed, in pre- cise rows. On the right hand ot the Governor-General stood the Prime Minister, looking not too com- fortable in regulation Windsor uni- form, white statin breeches and all Last year you may recall he wore a dark suit, brightened only by gold buttons. A little distance away from the Governor sat his lady, the Count- ess of Bcjsborough. She is a beau- tiful woman and looked especially regal the day of the opening. Stand- ing near her in Windsor uniform wa? the Rt. Honorable Arthur Meighen new leader of the Government force? in the Senate. The members of the House of Com- mons were summoned to the Senate by the General Usher of the Black Rod, who announces his desire to be admitted to the Green Chamber by three thunderous knock* on the door. The Sergeant-at-Arms goes to see what the noise is about and on recog- nizing the Black Rod, he turns and, after bowing stiffly, announces to the Speaker of the Commons that the !ack Rod desires to be admitted. The .Speaker rises and say-.?: "Admit the Black Rod." The Black Rod, dressed in black velvet lavishly trim- med with cream lace, walks slowly up the great aisle, which separates one pary from the other in the Com- mons. At intervals he bows low and when not far from the Speake 1 - he informs him that the presence of the members of the Commons is desired in the Senate. He then backs out again bowing at intervals. The members if the Commons now troop to the <.i-, .-t;il chatting and laughing as they go. They crowd close to tho bar, presumably to listen to the speech being read from the Throne by UN Excellency, the Governor- fit it nil. but su?h a din do thoy kick up that not a word of the Throne spt-cvh could be heard. It \\a the shortest speech from the Throne in eleven years. It forecasts almost no legislation. It nui'.i mention ol negotiations with the American Government regarding the St. Lawrence waterway, tells us that the railway problem is being in. i tigatrd by a commission, that a Canadian delegation has gone to take part in a Disarmament Conference in Geneva, and that the Economic Conference would meet here in July. All of whi.-h we knew befoiv. The :|.h anii'.-unced that a bill relating In ins;n-aii<T, bills relating to patent* and trade marks, bill-.t to amend the Ciiiiii'la Shipping Act and Fish. . Act would l,c brought dawn. That is ul!. V.Y ought to be out of hen in a month if ir-tHr,;; More develops! but of course we won't be. The' Tin .lie -|-(;-h .-aid that Canada was! Fin (!-; fully meeting difficult dom- estic problems, and comforted u? with this n-'iinrkahle sentence: "CON- DITION'S ARE GRADUALLY IM- PROVING," and many paper--, h-"-- aliled this as a courageous utterance. The working people of Canada would cnly be too glad if it were true. There was a good deal of talk ovci the appointment of Rt. Hon. Arthui Meighen to the Senate. It seems a sad end for a brilliant man. Gov- ernment friends say ho will put life in the Senate. It will become more like the American Senate; the Upnor Chamber, in truth. I have always greatly admired the mental capacity -of Mr. Meighen, hut whether any- fhing on earth can liven the Senate remains to be seen. 1 The day after the opening lh<? House met for less than an hour The Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, the leader of the Liberals in the House of Commons, commented upon Mr. Meighen's appointment. While say- \r." that he did not agree with the polidw which .Mr.,, lieighen advocat- ed, he ilid admire greatly Mr. Meigh- n'.- ' >ut: tnding attainment:, r)i a pprlimr.ontnrian and exceptional qua!- ificati--.ni for the leadership of the TJnr~" Hou<">. Mr. King went n ''Yestcrd' y i i wi'nWsing the imnoi- ipg :; . .:iy of thi* opening of Parl- Governor-General, of the present in the person Prime Minister was one who, if I am not mistaken, at one time had ambitions which k-d him rather in the direction of the Upper House and which ambition he wa-, only prevented from realizing, because his leader of the day would Mot give him ithe ; appointment to which he aspired. As I looked at these two gentlemen, one at eithei side of the Throne, I could not help 'ordering what, in the course of time, this double-barrelled leadership of the Conservative party was going to mean." MR. BENNETT: "It will mean two or three fewer Senators at an early date." There is great -speculation as to just what the Prime Minister's re- mark means. Does it mean that thi> three Senators connected with the Reauharnois are to be read out? Time only will answer the question.

LET THE OTHER FELLOW DO II Every newspaper know* full well how many people shirk responsibility in public affairs. People come to a newspaper time after time and want the editor to fire some hot shot which they dare not do. The editor asks them to sign their name to certain a'-y position of the country and its charges or statements, and it is sur- iiuying power.
