SIR HENRY THORNTON
The passing of Sir Henry Worth Thornton, presi
dent of the Canadian National Railways until last year,
removes another of the great empire builders contem
poraneous with Baron Thomas Shaughnessy, James J.
Hill, Lord Mount Stephen and others who have left their
mark upon the new world and whose deeds will outlive
their memories.
Sir Thomas, born at Logansport, Ind., and rising
successfully from draughtsman in the office of engineers
of the Pennsylvania system, to that of assistant general
superintendent of the Long Island Railroad. From that
system he passed to the management of the Great East
ern Railroad of England, and in 1920 was chosen general
manager of the Canadian National Railways. It was in
this capacity that Sir Henry displayed the same execu
tive ability by lilting the government system from a
heavy liability to a valuable asset and placeci it on a pai
with the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
The Cana dan National system embraced the Inter
colonial and the Canadian Northern, the latter having
been tossed back upon the government’s hands by its
surrender by McKenzie & Mann, in part liquidation of
bonds guaranteed by the Dominion government.
He rehabilitated the Canadian Northern and re
deemed what had been variously described as a political
football and visionary project, having been built through
a section of Western Canada during the boom years.
One of the results of the Canadian Northern, which
stood in a position analagous to the Alaska Railroad, was
to add immeasurably to the development of West Canada
and emerge self-sustaining and a great railway system.
This result was due to the farsightedness and business
ability of Sir Henry Thornton.
Having been a bear in Wall Street Bishop Cannon
cannot claim he’s a goat in the investigation of his mark
et dealings.
It is quite evident the name of Woodin does not ap
ply to the Secretary of the Treasury's head.
The Shipping Board seems to be rapidly approaching
the “Slipping Board.”
The Kodiak natives shoot brown bears at a distance
of 75 yards. Politicians shoot the bull at any old distance.
