was educated at Chicoutimi Seminary and the Commercial Academy of
Quebec, graduating at Quebec in 1902. As a student, Mr. Sainte-Pierre
was a frequent contributor to the Society Magazine. He was married on
7th October, 1913, to Miss Noemi Decary, daughter of the late A. C.
Decary, N.P., Registrar. He has two children, Helene and Jean
Sainte-Pierre. He is a member of the Maccabees and a Roman Catholic. Mr.
Sainte-Pierre is a Liberal in politics, in which he takes a keen
interest, his name having been suggested as a candidate for
parliamentary honors on more than one occasion. Mr. Sainte-Pierre is an
enthusiastic motorist and also keenly interested in motor boating and
fishing. Having been a dealer in a very large way in municipal
securities, Mr. Sainte-Pierre has for the past few years given a great
deal of attention to the improvement of municipal borrowing. He favors
the appointment of a Government Expert Officer to safeguard and study
the best methods of borrowing money, realizing that many municipalities
have not the expert financial knowledge that enables them to decide on
the most propitious times to float loans, he believes that the suggested
reforms would be greatly in the interest, not only of the
municipalities, but of the financial houses that deal in these
securities. Mr. Sainte-Pierre, as the executive head of Credit Canada,
Limitée, has been very active in the financing of large school
municipalities and cities. His firm has handled some of the largest
issues floated in the Province of Quebec in recent years. He has made
various suggestions for the improvement of School municipalities in the
province. Mr. Sainte-Pierre is also well known as an expert accountant,
and systematizer. He is a member of several fraternal societies and it
is well recognized that the prominent position obtained by Credit
Canada, Limitée, is due to the energy and financial skill of Mr.
Sainte-Pierre.

=Johnston, Ebenezer Forsyth Blackie, K.C.= (Toronto, Ont.), was born in
Berwickshire, Scotland, December 20, 1850, and received a thorough
scholastic training in his native country. He came to Canada in boyhood,
and for a short time looked to farming as an occupation and became also
interested in educational matters. The bent of his mind being in the
direction of the law, he pursued the studies thereof, and in 1876 was
sworn in as a solicitor, and in 1880 he was called to the Bar, and
practised at Guelph for a few years, where he met with big success. Upon
receiving the appointment (in 1885) as Deputy Attorney-General and Clerk
of the Executive Council, he came to Toronto, and held the position for
four years. He then resumed the practice of his profession and was
subsequently appointed for three years Inspector of Registry Offices,
which office, by reason of his increasing practice he was compelled to
resign in 1894. 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. He had a ready
mental grasp, quick and clear conceptions, and was ever ready to see a
point and turn it to the advantage of his client. In 1887 was appointed

removal to Fort William. His recreations are golf, curling and fishing,
and he is a past president of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association.
His clubs are the Engineers and Canada, Montreal; the Kaministiquia,

=Allan, John=, Member for the riding of West Hamilton in the Ontario
Legislature, was born at Guelph, Ont., on May 22, 1856, the son of James
and Agnes (Rodgers) Allan. His boyhood was spent in the city of which he
is now an elected representative, and he was educated in the public
schools there. On leaving school in 1871 he qualified himself for
mechanical pursuits with William Hancock and John Taylor of Hamilton,
remaining with them for three years. 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. His friends
persuaded him to enter municipal politics in 1908 and he has proven a
most useful public servant. He was Alderman, 1908-9; Controller,
1910-12; Chairman of the Parks Board, 1911; Mayor for the years 1913 and
1914. His regime was marked by businesslike methods and he was popular
with all classes of the community. In 1914 on the retirement of Sir John
Hendrie, the present Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, who had long
represented the riding of West Hamilton in the Ontario Legislature, Mr.
Allan was nominated by the Conservative party and elected. As a
legislator his services as a member of the standing committees of the
House are especially valued. In religion he is a Presbyterian and is a
member of the following organizations: Commercial Club, A.F. & A.M., and
Knights of Pythias. In 1881 he married Catherine, daughter of Conrad
Euler.

=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.

of the Company, and in 1898 was elected a Director. In 1906 he became
Managing Director of the Sun Life and in 1915 President, succeeding his

=Campbell, Colin=, Montreal and St. Hilaire, Que., is one of the most
widely known horsemen of the Dominion and a very prominent figure in the
social and business life of his province. He is a son of Major Campbell,
C.B., of Inverawe, Scotland, an officer of Her Majesty’s 7th Hussars and
a member of the same family as the famous Col. Duncan Campbell, of
Inverawe, who was on the staff of General Lord Howe at Ticonderoga, and
whose death in that battle, and the accompanying psychical phenomena,
form the theme of one of Robert Louis Stevenson’s most thrilling
ballads. Another relative was Col. de Salaberry, who commanded the
French-Canadians in their heroic resistance at the Battle of Chateauguay
in the war of 1812. The mother of the subject of this sketch was, prior
to her marriage, Miss Duchesnay of Quebec, and he was born at St.
Hilaire, on May 28, 1860. He was educated at Lennoxville Academy and
later engaged in business as a merchant with great financial success. At
the outbreak of the great war he organized and commanded the Mounted
Section of the 1st Regiment of Reserve Militia, in which he holds the
rank of Captain. Strong advocate of and keen worker for the “Daylight
Saving” measure, which was passed in 1918. All legitimate sports have
from youth claimed his enthusiastic support and he is noted not only as
a breeder of horses, but as a skilled equestrian. As a steeplechase
rider of his own horses, he won the Montreal Hunt Cup on four occasions
and the Allan Cup on three. As an expert on the subject of horses he is
widely known and has acted as Judge at the Olympia Horse Show, New York,
as well as at similar events in Boston, Philadelphia and other cities.
He is a member of the Montreal Board of Trade and of many social
organizations in that city, including the Mount Royal, St. James,
Montreal Hunt, Forest and Stream, Montreal Jockey, Canada, and Canadian
Clubs, as well as of St. Andrew’s Society. He is a Conservative in
politics and an Anglican in religion. On April 23, 1888, married Mabel
G., daughter of the late Sir Hugh Allan, K.C.B., of Montreal, by whom he
has had three children, Enid, Phoebie and Archie (deceased).

=Coats, Robert Hamilton=, Dominion Statistician and Controller of the
Census, is one of the live wires in the employ of the Dominion
Government. 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. Having served on the staff of the “Toronto
World” and the Toronto “Globe” from 1898 to 1901, in January, 1902, he
became Associate Editor of the “Labor Gazette,” the journal of the
Department of Labor, afterwards editor, and continued in that capacity
until 1914. On the death of Mr. Archibald Blue, in 1915, he succeeded
that gentleman as Census Commissioner. Within a brief period afterwards,
largely as a development of Mr. Coats’ constructive work, the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics was established by Act of Parliament, and its value
to the State, under Mr. Coats’ direction, is duly recognized. Robert
Hamilton Coats is the son of Robert Coats, merchant, and Mary Park. He
was born in Clinton, Ontario, July 25, 1874, and was educated at the
Toronto University (B.A., 1896). He is a contributor to the “Journal of

1914 a member of the Cost of Living Commission. Mr. Coats is a Fellow of
the Royal Statistical Society of England, of the American Statistical
Association, of the American Economic Association, and of the Canadian
Political Science Association. In June, 1905, Mr. Coats married Marie
Halboister, of Paris, France. For recreation he favors canoeing and
ski-ing. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church and resides at 176
Manor Avenue, Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa.

=Ward, Lt.-Col. Henry Alfred=, Judge of the United Counties of
Northumberland and Durham, is the son of George Charles Ward and Harriet
Amelia (Brent). His father was fifty-four years Registrar of the County
of Durham, and of East Durham, when the County was divided into two
ridings. He was born at Port Hope, Ont., on August 20, 1849, and
educated in the local schools of his native town; called to the Bar in
1871, and created a K.C. in 1908, he successfully practised his
profession in Port Hope for many years and was Mayor for a considerable
period. Judge Ward is a grandson of Thomas Ward, who came from England
as Secretary to Attorney-General White, in 1792, settled in Toronto, and
then went to Port Hope, where he afterwards became judge of the district
of Newcastle. The subject of this sketch was for a long period in the
Volunteer Military Service of Canada, joining the Port Hope Rifle
Company as a private in 1866; became Lieutenant in the 46th Regiment on
its formation in 1867, and from 1902 to 1909 was Lieut.-Colonel of the
same, and is now on the reserve of officers. Entered the House of
Commons as member for East Durham in August, 1885, as successor to the
late Lieut.-Colonel Arthur T. H. Williams, and represented that
constituency until 1891; he was again elected in 1900. In 1904 he
defeated the Hon. A. B. Aylesworth for the County of Durham, and retired
from political life in 1908. In 1916 he was elevated to the Bench, a
post for which his experience well qualified him. In referring to
Lieut.-Colonel Ward the “Montreal Standard” said of him: “A genial
gentleman, but with perhaps too fine a spirit to make a great success of
the rough and tumble game of politics.” He is a member of the Masonic
Order. In religion an Anglican, and a member of St. Mark’s Church of
Port Hope. He has always taken an interest in amateur sports and was
President of the Port Hope Baseball Club. Married July, 1895, Annie B.,

Army, and is the father of two children, Marjorie Lesley and Madeline
Aylwin.

=Garland, John L.=, is one of the most prominent business men of Ottawa
and President of the firm of John M. Garland, Son & Co., Ltd., wholesale
dry goods merchants, Queen and O’Connor Streets in that city. He was
born at Ottawa on January 9, 1867, the son of John M. and Isabella
(McKinnon) Garland. He was educated at Ottawa Collegiate Institute and
by private tuition in England. In 1884 he began his business career as a
clerk in the firm founded by his father and of which he is now the head.
He became Senior Partner, December, 1906. Mr. Garland as a young man
took a deep interest in military affairs and organized “F” Company of

commission of Captain from 1896 to 1903. He is a member of the following
clubs: Rideau, Ottawa Hunt and Royal Ottawa Golf. In religion he is a
Presbyterian and in politics a Conservative. On January 18, 1888, he
married Joanna, daughter of John Hancock, Ottawa, and has three sons and

capital.

=Pringle, Robert Abercrombie, K.C.=, one of the leaders of the Ottawa
Bar, was born at Cornwall, Ont., December 15, 1855, the son of J. F. and
Isabella (Fraser) Pringle. He was educated at the public and high
schools of Cornwall, at Queen’s University, Kingston, and Osgoode Hall,
Toronto. He was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1881 and practised in
his native town from 1883 until 1911. In 1906 he was created King’s
Counsel. In 1911 he removed to the capital and established his present
practice, and is head of the firm of Pringle, Thompson, Burgess and
Coté, Barristers and Solicitors, Quebec Bank Building, 122 Wellington
Street, Ottawa. He has been entrusted by the Federal Government with
several important commissions, notably that to inquire into news print
prices and the paper industry generally in 1918. Mr. Pringle has also
been a prominent figure in the politics of Eastern Ontario and is a
lifelong Conservative. As candidate for that party he was elected to the
House of Commons for the riding of Stormont in 1900 and proved one of
the most useful members of the then Opposition. He was re-elected in
1904, but defeated at the general elections of 1908. In 1911 he was
again tendered the party nomination by his own supporters, but having
decided to enter into practice in Ottawa, declined. As a member of the
House his courteous bearing and solid attainments made him generally
liked by colleagues of all shades of opinion. He is an Anglican in
religion. His chief recreation is motor boating. He belongs to the
Masonic Order and is a member of the following clubs: Rideau, Royal
Ottawa Golf and Albany (Toronto). In 1884 he married Ada, daughter of I.
H. Vanarsdale, and has two sons. He resides at 232 Daly Avenue, Ottawa.

=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. In addition to his official labors he pursues the calling
of a practical farmer. He is a Presbyterian in religion and his
recreation is indicated by the fact that he is a member of the Royal
Ottawa Golf and Laurentian Clubs. He is also a member of the A.F. & A.M.

=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. He was educated at the public
school of his native town, at the Guysboro’ Academy and Halifax Business

remained until 1908, when he was transferred to the management of the

extending the power and influence of the Sun Life in Canada. Mr. Tory is
keenly interested in all movements for social betterment, and
particularly in building up a clean and healthy manhood in this country.

French-Canadian organizations, taking a strong interest in sports and in
all measures to promote mutual goodwill among the French and English
people. He is Grand President of L’Union St. Joseph du Canada, with head

Ontario, was born at Embro, Ontario, on December 6, 1868, his parents
being E. J. Cody and Margaret L. (Torrance). Educated at Galt Collegiate
Institute and Toronto University, where he had a most distinguished
career, winning the gold medal in classics, first-class honors in Mental

the reorganization of The University of Toronto, 1905-6, and a member of
The Ontario Commission on Unemployment, 1914-15. One of the founders of
Havergal Ladies’ College, Toronto. In May, 1918, on the resignation of
the Hon. Dr. R. A. Pyne as Minister of Education of Ontario, Dr. Cody
was invited by Premier Hearst to assume the duties of that most
important portfolio and, on May 23, he was sworn in as Minister of
Education of the Province and at once took up his duties, and was
subsequently nominated for the riding of North East Toronto. His
election was opposed by Sergt. William Varley, a popular soldier, who
had distinguished himself overseas on active service. Dr. Cody was
returned by a very large majority. The Minister of Education has special
gifts for the office he has been called upon to fill. His wide learning
and eminence as a scholar, his tireless energy and organizing ability,
caused his selection to be acceptable by all classes and few Canadians
occupy a more secure place in the confidence, respect and esteem of
their fellows. Splendidly informed in all great National questions and a
brilliant orator, his services have been in constant demand. Shortly
after assuming the duties of his present position, the Minister, at the
request of the Premier, made a trip overseas and visited the soldiers in
the firing line for the express purpose of familiarizing himself with
the conditions existing at the front, with a view to make his Department
more efficient in the reconstruction period after the war. The Minister
also conferred with leading educationalists in England and acquired a
vast amount of useful and necessary information. Hon. Dr. Cody holds the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Militia, is Senior Chaplain
of the Queen’s Own Rifles, and is recognized as one of the outstanding
figures in the Canadian public life. In 1894 he married Florence L.,

Maurice Cody, Captain in C.A.M.C.

many men afterwards famous in many fields of activity have been—“A
printer’s devil” in the office of the Brampton “Conservator,” where he
spent six years under Samuel Charters, now member of the House of
Commons for Peel. 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. While with that
paper he represented it in the Legislative Press Gallery. Subsequently
he spent a year in London, England, as correspondent of the Canadian
Associated Press, “covering” the general election in Britain in 1905-6
for the Canadian papers. On his return to Canada he rejoined the
“Evening Telegram” staff and continued as a member of it till June 1,
1909, when he was appointed Secretary to the Minister and Department of
Agriculture. During the same year he served as Secretary to the Ontario
Government Milk Commission. On the retirement of the late C. C. James,
LL.D., from the position of Deputy Minister, March 1, 1912, Mr.
Roadhouse was promoted to his present position—being probably the
youngest man ever appointed a Deputy Minister in the Province of
Ontario. He has made many addresses and contributed numerous articles to
the press on the subjects with which he is specially familiar. He
married, July 3, 1912, Lillian Maud Wyndow, daughter of Wm. Wyndow,
Toronto. He is a Protestant and a member of the A.F. & A.M. In his
dealings with the public, Mr. Roadhouse is extremely courteous while in
the conduct of his department, his guiding idea seems to be clear cut
thinking and practical action. His address is Parliament Bldgs.,
Toronto.

=Poulin, Stanislas, K.C.=, Advocate of St. John’s, Quebec, is a son of
N. Poulin, farmer, and Marie Surpremant, his wife. He was born at

College, L’Assomption College and Laval University. From the latter
institution he graduated in 1905 with the degrees of B.A. and LL.L. He
entered the practice of law in St. John’s shortly after his admission to
the Bar, and has been solicitor for that city since 1913. In 1916 he was
appointed King’s Counsel on the recommendation of the Prime Minister of
Quebec, Sir Lomer Gouin. He has distinguished gifts as a public speaker

Affairs. For years previous to his aspiring to civic honors he was a
conspicuous figure in all kinds of sports and was active and skilled in
the games of lacrosse, football, etc. As an Alderman he was one of the
men that never faltered in his duty and his value to the city may well
be judged by the number of years he has been elected as Controller.

leader began in 1910 with the organization of the Burlington Steel
Company of Hamilton, Ont., of which he is still President. In 1912 he
organized the Bankers Bond Company, Limited, Toronto, and in the same
year the Dominion Steel Foundry Company of Hamilton, Ont. Shortly after
the commencement of the European War in 1914 he organized the Canadian
Cartridge Co., Ltd., of Hamilton, of which he is President, to undertake
the much needed work of manufacturing cartridge cases for the British
Government. He personally equipped himself with knowledge of the
technical work of munition making and so successful did he prove as an
industrial organizer that he was able within two years to return to the
British Government over $750,000 profits earned from war contracts, as a
patriotic gift. Subsequently the Canadian Cartridge Company engaged in
the manufacture of anti-aircraft cases for the United States Government
on a large scale. In December, 1916, Sir Frank was appointed Director of
Aviation for Canada, and in the same month acting for the British
Government, organized and became President of Canadian Aeroplanes,

to become a sacrifice candidate in order that the party organization
might be kept alive. The contest that ensued was one of the cleanest and
most courteous ever conducted in Canada, the two candidates being on

=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.
In 1911 he became a director of the Corporation, and his active interest
in the management resulted in his being made chairman of the finance and
selling committees of the directorate. Mr. Workman is also the
Vice-President of the Federal Parquetry Company, of Lexington, Ky.;
vice-president of the Jacobs Asbestos Company, Ltd., of Thetford Mines,
Que., and is interested in the B. Gardner Company, of Montreal. While
the success that came to Mr. Workman brought him great wealth and
influence, his business activities did not prevent a generous and
personal interest in many charitable works, his yearly benefactions to
worthy causes and individuals being estimated at fifty to sixty thousand
dollars. 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. He has given most generously to the Patriotic
Fund and to the various regimental funds, and was a subscriber to the
extent of $200,000 to the Canadian War Loan. Mr. Workman is also
prominent in philanthropic work among the Jewish population of Canada
and is president and actual upbuilder of the Mount Sinai Sanatorium for
fighting the white plague. A sample of his deep interest in the race was
his remarkable response to the appeal of Mr. Leopold Rothschild since
the outbreak of the war on behalf of Jewish sufferers in Russia. Mr.
Workman forwarded an immediate cash contribution of $5,000, with an
appended offer to supplement that gift by the subscription of $1,000 per
month. Mr. Workman married, when twenty years of age, Miss Rachel Lewis,
of Syracuse, N.Y., on February 18, 1886. He has one son, Edward, a
Lieut. in the Canadian overseas army, and four daughters, Mrs. Nathan
Gordon, of Montreal; Mrs. Harry Rosenthal, of Ottawa, and the Misses
Nina and Daisy Workman. He is a member of the Masonic and the Royal
Guardians.

member of the Harbor Commission of Quebec, was born in that city on
February the 14th, 1868. He is a son of William Pennington of Preston,
England, who for many years lived at Montmorency Falls, while engaged in
the office of the G. B. Hall Lumber Company. Entering as a junior clerk
of that company, the subject of this sketch worked his way up to the
post of general manager of the Company’s branch of operations in the
Eastern Townships. Eventually buying out the interests of the Company in
the Townships, he established himself at Lyster, there possessing two
saw-mills, a large dressing lumber mill, and a pulpwood storing station.
His business activities were soon felt in the community, making it, as
they did, an important business outlet on the Grand Trunk Railway route
between Quebec and Richmond, for the adjacent counties of Lotbinière and
Megantic. During the twelve years he resided at Lyster he was Mayor of
the place for nine of them, besides being Warden of the County of
Megantic. In 1908 he was elected to represent that county in the Local
Legislature at Quebec, where his intimate knowledge of French as well as
English, won an influence for him at once. In 1912 he sold his
properties at Lyster, and returned to Quebec, there to continue his
successful career as a lumber merchant. During these years there has
passed through his hands an annual output of from sixty to seventy
thousand cords of pulpwood alone. He was among the first to export
pulpwood to the United States, and was one of the promoters of the
Wayagamack Pulp and Paper Company of Three Rivers. He has been largely
interested for years in the asbestos industry in the Thetford Mining
district, and has a large business interest in timber limits on and near

was a Railroad Contractor in South America and built a railroad from
Laguero to Caracas, Venezuela; his grandfather was manager of the
London, Brighton and Midland Railway in England. 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.
The production of these chemicals meant a tremendous export trade. He
erected factories at: Fenelon Falls, Deseronto, Longford Mills, South
River, Sault Ste. Marie, Fassett and Cookshire, and operated factories
at Thornbury, Parry Sound and Mount Tremblant; erected refineries in
Montreal, London, England, France and Germany, where crude alcohol was
shipped and refined; bought and operated blast charcoal furnaces at
