From other ooantiee we have had similar opinions advanced- some in fact placing the ratio in favor of Mr. Mvras at ten to one.

Usually Tile SP:N..t. endorses the opinion of Sir Olives Mower in natters of low, but in the present instance we are bound to rest our case on the opinion of the Dominion Minister of .lus- t ire. And on this line we have yet to see a published statement sivnedl by the Atty.- General that he is of opininn that a man who believes in Continental Inion, and who has the courage to advocate it on a platform or in the press is a traitor to Canada. He has made no such statement, and it would not be a wise doctrine for any man to lay down. Sir OLIVER Mow.

The ad- vocacy of Continental neon by an officer ot the crown may be • grave matter, though we do Dot view it in that light when it u made in • quiet and coretitutinnel man- ner, and oertainly the open and fearless al. rocate is to be preferred to the craven who harbors nnpnpular or disloyal views but refrains from an etprewiob of them[ Brough fear of lotting his bread and batter.
