When "Charlie" Cross in 1897 turned his back on 
college halls and set out from Toronto to 
Edmonton, Alta., it is scarcely probable he 
foresaw his own rapid advancement, Ten years 
have made him a man of prominence in Premier 
Rutherford's cabinet of all the virtues he is 
one of the shining lights. It is no exaggeration 
to say that the skill with which he had 
conducted the attorney general's department has 
given him a reputation for sagacious 
administrative ability such as many an older 
statesman might well envy. His action this last 
summer in enforcing the Lord's Day act and in 
prosecuting the Retail Lumber Dealer's 
association for combine, which by the way, is 
still pending has drawn upon him the attention 
of the whole Canadian West. An this too, indeed 
without any attempt to pose in the limelight.  
Mr. Cross, will be able to count 35 years on 
November 30 Born at Madoc, Hastings county, 
Ontario, he obtained his education at Upper 
Canada College, Toronto university and Osgoode 
Hall. At varsity he belonged to the year "95, 
famous for the brilliant group which was 
graduated from the course in economics. In this 
group Cross was a leading figure. More to
