John Burns Turns.

Sidney Brooks. in McClure'S.
A change began to come over John
Burns when he was elected to the Lon
O common council. The agitator
turned by degrees into the admins
traitor. He was the only labor repre-
sentative on the council. and his ex-
p%erience, sanity and good humor quick
ly mad themselves felt. He proved
himself an interchangeable councillor, in
speeding and inquiring into everything
on his w account, and securing re-
form after reform in the treatment and
wages of the councils employees. the
conditions OF it's contracts, the provi-
sion of parks, drainage works, asylums.
public control of the London street
car system, the erection of artisans
dwellings and so on.
When he entered parliament in 1892
he found the same sort of work waiting
to be done on a far larger scale. He
gained the ear of the house at once
first. because he never spoke without
having something to say; secondly. be-
cause the breezy, vigorous confidence
of the man, his sincerity and enthu-
siasm. made indifference impossible:
and, thirdly. because on many subjects
he probably knew more at first hand
than all the rest of the house put to-
gether. Everything that concerned
the we'll being and interests of the
working classes found John R,,rns
equipped at all points. A great deal of
the social and industrial legislation of
the past 20 years bears the mark Of
his influence, and you would have to
search long and deep to come across
another M. p. whose career has been
SO demonstrably useful and construc-
