Martin J. (:renin has already won the
reputation of being the most colossal and
reckless liar on the t'a,.adi.n'presa So
bed is ISIS reputation for truthfulness
that no unsupte.rted editorial statement
..f the .11.u/ will be atrepted in any quar-
ter. His latest uupudeut falsehre'd was
promptly nailed by the 1 hltarie premier
on Tuesday night in the House.

current for several day. and not without
fem,datien, that Mr. Mowat bas express-
ed a dewire to retire from the Cabinet.
The matter has been under the consid-
eration of his colleagues. Mr. Pardee
has been named es his succear,r."
Mr. Mowat said there were probably
as many murepresentatlens in the para-
graph as there were sentences. He had
never eapreseed • desire to withdraw
from the Cabinet, as the writer mid, and
he had no such maim. He had ressnu
to know that there was never a time
when he enjoyed the confidence of his
colleagues. and the Liberal party in the
House and out of the House, more com-
pletely than he did at the present time.
Aa long as he continued to enjoy that
c nfidence, s, long would he continue to
hold the position. The paragraph rent
un t.. say that the matter has been "un-
der the consideration of Is. colleagues."
This was entirely false. Mr. Pardee was
timed as his successor, which was also
tale. He Moped that Mr. I'ardee would
an. day occupy the place he now occu-
pied, and that the other members of the
Cabinet might also advance to the tint
position. but at the present tuns neither
Mr. Pardee nor any other person had
been named as a candidate for the tint
posit In the Cabinet. The paragraph
proceeds "The rnmor has been cur-
rent for several days.. He never heard
of such a•rumsr, avid he had been unable
to discover any person on this side of the
House who hail heard of such a rumor.
