Book excerpt: Excerpt from Record of Four Years: Some Chapters From the History of the Laurier Government Coming into power after eighteen years (if Opposition, with a 'cabinet composed of men most of whom had never before held office in a Federal Government, Sir Wilfrid Laurier was in a singularly happy position for effecting such legislative and administrative reforms as he and his colleagues desired to establish. The Ministers of Finance and Customs, the heads of the large spending departments of Railways and Public Works, the Minister of the Interior, with the great west under his charge, the Minister of Militia, the postmaster-general, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries and the Minister Iof Agriculture, were all new to official life at Ottawa. They, had all demanded reforms and pointed out the various extravagances and other evils in the system of Government. Hampered by no traditions, restricted by no prece dents, they were free to deal with any evils and weaknesses that might have been developed m a long period of administration by one party, and were in a position to introduce such reform in law and custom as they deemed good.
