E. F. B. sOnnston Lert ESTATE OF $249.576 "You cannot apply conditions of the Middle Ages in England to Canada as It is toâ€"day," â€" satd Mr. Nickle, He Went on to state that in the _ prat titles had been bought and sold by the wealthy merchant classes of Engiano Frequently they were â€" obtained by contributions to the funds of a politiâ€" cal party._ As a result cotruption had become the dominant source of titie in the mother country. These recognitions, said Mr. Nickle, were not awarded on account of worrh or greatness. It was claimed by the advocates of titular distinctions thai men would not make their _ greatest elfort unless a reward of this nature was beld out to them. This view the speaker â€" strongly | disagreed with. Such a belief was debasing to buman nature, assuming, as it did, that humâ€" an beings would o little unless reâ€" warded. The consciousness . of duty well done should be a sufficient reâ€" ward. Mr. Nickle traced the institution of Knighthoods through the various orâ€" ders from the creation of the Order of the Garter. }He pointed ont that knighthood in feudal days was a priâ€" vilege. but it conferred an obligation, for the Knight was obliged _ to give inflitary service. so much so that _ in the thirteenth century men in possesâ€" sion of property qf a certain _ value were compelled to accept Knighthood, although exemption might be purâ€" chased . Mr. Nickie argued that in _ a demo:â€" cratic country class distinctions _ as far as possible should be done away with and equality of citizenship estabâ€" lished. A war for _ democracy had recently heen fought. "Let us." Mr. Nickle declared, "in our first legislaâ€" tion do away with this class of distine tions, not of intellectual attainment but with the class distinction _ that pretends to give one man a _ better social position than another simply by virtue of an influence," 1 do not consider such is necessar to day. Such action is not necessary toâ€"day. 1 consider that. so far as this country is concerned, we must come to one form of government, and aone only, and that is the party sysâ€" tem." (Opposition anplause.) Mr. Nickle‘s Resotution. Mr. Nickle moved that an address be presented to the King praying that no further titles be conferred on Briâ€" tish subjects aomicrled or living in Canada. it being understood that the prayer had no reference "to _ profesâ€" sional or vocational appeliations conâ€" ferred in respect to commissions | isâ€" sued by your Majesty to persons in the military or naval services of Canâ€" ada. or to persons engaged in the adâ€" ministration of justice of the Domir ion .. part to eupport thai policy . noweve ‘ much others inay diTer from me But my political faiths and tenets ar ' not changed.

W. Woolworth raarried Jennie Creighton of Picton, Ontario, Canada, in 1876. Of late the Woolworths have lived in New York city E. P. Charlton & Co., 53 stores; (C. 8. Woalworth. 15 stores. and W. H. Moore, two stores. Through this combinatfon of interests . a strong fnanclal organization was created that _ mpultiplied efficieney in <operaâ€" tion, standardized the selling syatem and got a greater buying power. in the seven intervening years the numâ€" ber of stores owned by the Woolâ€" worth company was doubled. Other men became associated with Mr. Woolworth in the early days of business and afterward left him to start stores of their own. In this way mix great chains of five and tenâ€"cent stores spread â€" all over the'{(}ni!ed States and @ll of the ownere were the greatest of friends. In 1912 it was announced that the F. W. Woolworth Company had been formed to take over the five and tenâ€"cent businesses owned by F. W. Wadslworth & Co., 318 stores; S. H. Knox & Co., 112 stores;: F. M. Kirby & Co.. 96 stores: S. H. Knox. a cousin to Mr. Woolâ€" worth, visited the Lancaster store in 1884 and liked the idea so well that he formed a partnership with F. W. Woolworth and they opened a fiveâ€" cent store in Reading, Pa.. under the name of Woolworth & Knox. Mr. Knox had but a few hundred doliars to put into the business. The Readâ€" ing store was a success, but Mr. Knox wanted a wider field and the firm sold the place and opened another in Newark. Later a store was opened In Erie, Pa.. and this. too, prospered greatly. In 1889, after Woolworth & Knox bad started a store in Buffélo, they dissolved partnership, Kgox takâ€" ing his partner‘s interest in the Erie & Buffalo stores. This was the beâ€" ginning of the great Knox chain of stores. Knox Joing Woolworth. The Woolworth brothers opened a store in Harrisburg, Pa.. but it was not ordingrily successful. But their next venture &t Scranton, Pa., soon became a bigger success than the orâ€" iginal Woolworth @tore. in 1886 the Woolworths opened an office in New York City. __ and he self me it. On brother Mr. Woolworth realized at once that be had opened a business which had infinite possibilities of expansion and he began associating with himâ€" salf men who coufld help him develop it. One was €. S. Woolworth, his In June, 1879, Moore & Smith of Watertown â€" backed Mr. Woolworth financially and he opened a fiveâ€"cent siore at Lancaster, Pa. It was a sucâ€" cess from the start, more than 30 per cant. of the stock being sold the first day. It is now the o‘ldest five andâ€"tenâ€"cest store in the world. Augsbury & Moore of Watertown. i dry goods firm, hired Woolworth when he fnisned his business schoolâ€" ‘ng, the agreem: nt being that he was not to receive any salary for three months and after that he was to get $3.50 a week. In two years and a half Mr. Woolworth was getting $6 a week and then he left Augsbury & Moore to take another job at $10 a week. This salary was later reduced to $$, because he was not selling enough goods. The Strattord Brass Company has Torms one of the greaiest bus‘ness romances in the history of the world.
