WHY WAS TAYLOR SILENCED ?
Toronto aloha
The most significant 'feature of the
big gathering at Goderich to endorse
the action of Mr. Proudfoot in the
Legislature was the series of questions
put by the member for Centre Huron
to the Premier of Ontario, questions
that the people are determined shall
be answered.
Take the first two. Mr. Proudfoot
asks Sir James : "Why did the Com-
mittee of Privileges and Elections
refuse to permit an investigation into
the circumstances surrounding the
payment by George C. Taylor of $5011
to Hon. W. J. Hanna P Was it be-
cause Mr., Taylor was asked for a con-
tribution of $1,000, and that the $500
was only the first imMellment r'
How can Sir James remain in office
and permit that question to go un-
answered? The plain inferenoe to be
drawn from it is that Taylor did not
offer the money, but that it was re-
quested: Under the circumstances a
request was a command. Mr. Taylor
was a Government contractor. Fric-
tion had arisen as to the terms of the
contract. The possibility of serious
trouble was clearly in sight. ' If Mr.
Hanna asked Mr. Taylor for a thous-
and dollars under such circumstances
the latter probably thought he was
lucky In getting out of it at fifty cents
on the dollar. And if the $.,00 was
regarded as a first instalment, was the
second ever demanded ? 4,nylitow tl»s
the demand received P
Why not give Mr. Taylor an oppor-
tunity of answering these questions
They will he asked on every platform
in the Province at the next election if
Sir James Whitney sits silent now.
THE THORNE LETTER.
The Signal charged The Goderich
Star with p.iblishing ialitch..ods in
connection with the Pi oudfoot
charges. The Star replies, cbiracter-
istically, with a half -column of super-
cilious
upercilious balderdash. There is no
Attempt to justify the false statements
to which it had given publication.
But what is lie or two to The Star?
It has published so many in its day
that a few more here or there make.
no difference in the editorial record.
We did not expect The Star to
publish the Thorne letter. It is too
damaging to the Government at Tor-
onto which tt slavishly supports.
That letter. which incriminates the
Provin.•oil Secretary, was written by
L E. C. Thorne, Mr. Hanna's confi-
dential adviser, and stall, so far as is
known. Mr. Hanna's friend. Maiwn-
ville. to whom the letter was addressed,
was brought to Ontario by another of
steje•..en Whitney's colleagues, Hon.
Dr. Resume, and wbatever be may he
neither Mr. Proudfoot nor any other
Liberal is responsible for him. Nor
does it make the slightest difference
who or what the addressee of tbe
letter may be. It was Thorne, Mr.
ttannis friend and confidential man,
who wrote it. and Thorne swore at the
recent investigation (before the Mock-
ers could step him) that the statements
made in the letter were true. Those
statement* are a part of the proof in
Mr. Proudfoot's posesesion that there
were corrupt dealings het ween mem-
hers of the Government and a Govern-
ment contractor. Mr. Prnadfoot of-
fers to prove his charges if he is gives
Use opportunity to do so before an im-
partial tribunal that will not cake

James Whhaey. Se made them more
pr•eclee, if possible. than ever, and
added a broad insisluattoa that more
in known than bas yet been allowed to
Goole out.
Mr. Proudfoot ingested that if •
chanes for investigation offered It
would appear that the $500 contribu-
tion was really only an installment ref
$1.000 that Mr. Hanna asked for. The
question, "Why was the *500 not paid
over to the treasurer of the Conserva-
tive Association for the Proviood of
Octavio r was in line with one of the
banner mottoes of the meeting,
"Who Has the swo r Mr. Proudfoot
brought out that Sir James Whitney
knew two years ago about these
things, but bas gone on parading his
honesty. A scathing indictment was
made of the Premier for deceit, trick-
ery and abusive language.
What is to be thought of a Goven-
tient on ill defence that resorts to
blackguarding the aoeuser P "That
pale -faced creature," was Mr. Donor s
counsel's term for Mr. Proudfoot
"that man with the face of triple
brass," said Sir James. Either the
Premier or his lawyer must be color
blind.
It is notable that Mr. Proudfoot now
makes his charges publicly, and apart
from any protection of parliamentary
privilege. It is open for Sir James
Whitney and his Secretary of State to
bring action "trainee their accuser, as
Mr. Foster, to bis grief, brought suit
against the editor of The Globe. They
will not likely try It, if they evade a
royal commission of investiation.
THE bENATE DOES ITS DUTY.
The Senate has taken . an unassail-
able position in regard to the naval
bill. It must be submitted for the
approval of the people before it re-
ceiveb the sanction of the second
chamber.
The Government is not, at all likely
to appeal to the country. It realizes
the unpopularity of the measure born
of the "unholy alliance" between the
Conservatives and tbe Nationalists,
and it will not risk its fortunes upon a
vote of the people. Thus the action
of the Government itself --rather, its
inaction—is a vindication of the coulee
pursued by the Senate and by the
minority in the House of Commons;
it is en acknowledgment that there
1s no "ea►ergeney " no "mandate," no
general desire for the measure which
was forced through the House of Com-
mon..
The Senate has checked a politica
plot which if successful would have
set back the hands of the cloa hun-
dred years in the matter of imperial
developnienL The British Empire
has been atilt up during tbe last cen
fury on the solid foundation of self-
government for each of its component
Darts. As ••a sound Iniperialiet" (so
described by Premier Borden n few
days ago) Sir George Ross, the leader
of the Senate majority, found it im-
possible to endon.e a measure which
flagrantly violated the principles of
tiue lu'perlalient.
MR. PROUDFOOT VINDI ;ATED.
Toronto btar.
The den.onstt at ion at Uodericb shows
that the Liberals of ()entre Huron 'ap-
prove of Mr. Proudfoot's course and
condemn the manner in which the
Taylor invebtigation was conducted.
it is adrniited that Mr. raylcr, a
Government contractor, contribut ed
Le rite Government campaign fund. It
is sdn.itted that Ibis practice is wrong.
The Government ought to have ex-
pressed its regret and returned the
money. Instead of that. it chokes off
the investigation, persuades its fol-
lowers to "censure" the investigator,
and actually has the nerve Lo ask him
to resign his seat in the Legislature.
Mr. Rowell says that this election
contribution from a Government 000 -
tractor is not an isolated case. but
repreeenta a practice.
'No one for a moment supposes that
the particular contribution secured
from Mr. Taylor was the only contribu.
tion secured from Government con-
tractor's or parties having relations

gation has probably only slightly

EDITORIAL NOTES.
What will 8outt Druz say on the
navy question ?
Conservative organs are talking a
lot just now about Senate reform
Well, let them go ahead and reform
the Senate ; nobody's stopping them.
Some of the weathers of Parliament
at Ottawa are agitating for an increase
of the sessional indemnity to *6,000.
That is another little question that
might be submitted to the people.
Those princely graftes., Mackenzie
and Mano, are again before Perlia
ment with a big subsidy proposition.
The sum they want this time is fifteen
million dollars odd. And they will get
it.
We have no particular use for the
Senate a1 a permsasnt institution, but
fancy the Conservatives auemp,ting a
campaign against it because it asked
for an expression of the opinion of the
people f — — —
Sir James Whitney spoke at a Con-
servative demonstration at Markdale
on Tuesday, but made no mention of
the Proudfoot charges. It is a sore
subject for Sir James ; no wooder he
avoids it.
The Goderich Star virtuallyacknowl.
edges that charges of corrupt dealings
against the Government which it
supports are as nothing to its calloused
soul. And it must be admitted that
nobody ever expects anything better
of The Star.
The list of Hing'a birthday honors
includes knighthood for Major-Gen-
eral W. D. Otter, wbo receives the
order of Keigbt Ootamaeder of the
Bath. The distinguished soldier, wbo
will now be known as Sir William
Otter, is a native of Huron and was a
student in Goderich in his youth. J.
M. Barrie, the noted author, receives
a baronetcy, and other well-known
names are in tie list.
The death of J. P. Brown, M. P. for
Chateauguay, opens a Quebec seat in
the House of Commons. There are
already two Ontario vacancies --South
Lanark, formerly represented by the
late Hon. John Haggart, and South
Bruce, whose representative has been
appointed to the Senate. If the Gov-
ernment does not call a general elec-
tion, there will be some interesting
bye -elections before the next session
at Ottawa.
A severe criticism of the 'mintier in
which immigration to the Dortrir.iue
is handled, so that Ontario receives
very few farm laborers, was made I.y
Douala Sutherland, member for South
Orford. According to the re,i oras of
the Department. Ontario gess a good
share of the in.taigraticn coaling to
this country, but apparently it goes
to the cities and not on the land. The
conditional reopening form labor in
Ontario are serious iodeed ; but no
sdequote remedy .eems to be in sight.
Th-' c'ty of Strst.'ord has rt•y-iced
en intMistion that the pr'ple &bind
the Stratford elf est railway project
wit! not scceot the franchise under the
condition that power const be obtained
from the Ontario Hydro -electric
Power Commission. Thus the arbi
trary course of the Legislature in
interpreting the city's contract with
the Commission prevents Stratford
from securing a valuable railway
connection, for the street railway was
to have connection with the O. N. R.
Conservative papers appear to be
unanimous in saying there will he no
general election as the result of the
failure of the Borden naval hill to pass
the Senate. As Mr. Borden stated in
the most positive terms that be would
sppeal to the people if Paritameet
rejected his proposals. the Conserva-
tive organs evidently do not regard
the Premier as s moo of bis word.
Perhaps it is another inst.noe of the
dominance of Hon. "Rob" Rogers,
wbo doesn't cares hoot for the Prem-
ier'. promises.

sta the people, the position taken be-
ing that the Senate was 'not justified

unimpeachable. Parliament must be
