The facto are clearly established and well known. Mr. Bordeu. Mr. Foster and other Conservative leaders joioed with the Liberal Government in 1909 in setting forth the policy of a Canadian navy Then came the Drummond-Arthabaska election, which revealed to the Conser- vative leaders a means of making trouble in Quebec for Sir \\ ilfrid Laurier. They threw over the policy of a Canadian navy which they had so warmly espoused in 1909 and cast in their lot with the Quebec Nationalist•, with whose aid they won the election of 1911. The uopattiotie naval contri- bution scheme of last session was the direct result of. the alliance between theConserve( ives and the Nationalists, and the Liberals in Parliament took the right and proper course as patriotic Canadians in opposing that scheme. which the Senate fortunately was able to defeat. lo spite of fine words, Mr. Borden knows full well that the people of Canada are opposed to his contribu- tion scheme, and he has swallowed his own promises and outraged the principles of constitutional govern- tunnt in withholding from the electors the opportunity of pronouncing upon his policy. FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES. Viscount Haldane's Dinner. Montreal Herald. Viscount Haldane is said to object to paying more than twenty five cents for his dinner. It is a good thing that the Lori Higb Chancellor of Great Britain will be the guest of somebody or other all the time be is bere or he would be in a bad temper at least three time. a day. Redistribution Overdue. Tomato World. We believe that redistribution should be made at the first session metier than at the last season lteeiiameot chosen in the year of the census. At any rate all will ad- mit that the redistribution based upon the census of 1911 is now long over- due, and therefore that further post- pooetyect would be unjustifiable. Extensive.

This ie altogether out of pro- portion to increase of population, and amounts.to $1.50 per capita. The type of Minister of Militia represented by Col Sam Ijughes comes too high for a peace -loving people like the Canadians. The Canadian Spirit Ottawa Citlsae. Why not start now to crenae the Canadian spirit in the beerts of her own eons? Why not find Canadian soil a rooting -piers for pride of birth i. Why regard any part of the broad earth as more sacred or more worthy of veneration than that which com- prises Canada ? The time has arrived when Canada'must come to the reali- zttion of herself. and when every Can- adian must fiod pride. and loyalty. and inspiration. in the fact that he is .Canadian. A Political Comparison. Victoria (Daily Time.. Did you observe the hot shot that bold old warrior Sir Wilfrid Laurier poured into the ranks of the Nation- alists at St. Hyacinthe? The white plume of tbe gallant old chieftain waved defiantly right in what was once the stronghold of the llfactioo which Conservatives were wont to term "separatists." and none dared make him afraid. How different is the attitude of the Liberal leader from that of the timid, fearful, procrastin- ating. hold on to power at any prise and do nothing individual wbo is at the head of the Government of Can- ada. Mr. Borden compromised with the "separatists" and has three of them :n his Cabinet. with a deputy- epeaker who announced from the hust- ings that it was necessary to shoot boles in the British flag in order to ob- tain justice for French-Canadians. Squirm as they may, the Ministers of the Borden Government at present on this coast cannot deny the facts not disguise the still more important mat- ter that it was on the demand of their Nationalist colleagues that the policy of • Canadian navy. "some- thing that would take root in the coil" and grow with the growth of Canada, was abandoned and contributions sub- stituted therefor. The official nominations in the East York Provincial -bye -election were held at Mfarkham on Monday. Albert Chamberlain is the Liberal nominee and George S. Henry is the Conserva- tive candidate. Mr. Proudfoot, M. P. P. for Centre Huron, was present in behalf of Mr. Chamberlain and de- livered the principal address on the Liberal side, Hon. I. B. Lucas support- ing the Conservative nominee. The Liberals can hardly expect to do any- thing in East York except to keep the party organization in working order. For one thing, the liquor interest there is strong and will be exerted solidly against the Opposition candidate. At the same time it is good policy to place a representative of the party in the field on every possible occasion, in order that the public issues may be discussed before the electors. Supposing a Liberal Postmaster - General had introduced biliogtiel post- cards in Canada. what s howl there would have been from the Conserva- tive press! But Mr. Pelletier, Mr. Borden's Nationalist colleague, has done it and tbere it not a whimper. it is the same Mr. Pelletier who has been turning the English names nt postomces into French who now issues the postcards in halt-lioglish, half - French style. It is the most advanced step taken toward bilingualism in this country for a quarter of a century at least. Where are the ultra -British Tory newspapers that were wont to howl daily at French aggression (when the Liberals were in power)? They are taking their medicine quietly, like brave little fellows who do not want to divert any advertising patron- age that may come their way from the Postomce Department. And where is The Orange Seel/net P Has it. too, joined the crowd of Mr. Pelletier's humble admirers? Our local contemporary appears to 1e unduly perturbed ores the failure of the town council at its tam meet- ing to Leconte excited over tbe let- ter from the chairman of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board with reference to the proposed inve.tilta- Wm of Ontario West Shore Railway scatters.

The difference not, however. rrfr..in from raying a between the Laurier and Hoiden compliment tat the w'usb.r .1 the methods affords an illuminating con- trast as between the domineering methods of Toryism and the constitu- tional ideals of popular government as followed by the Liberal.. On January 26, 1911, Hoo. Mr. Field- ing, Minister of Finance, presented the reciprocity proposals to Pat•lia- meot. The Government then allowed time for tLe matter to seep into the public mind, and it was discussed uni- versally, as much outside as inside Parliament. The debate in Parlia- ment was continued, month after month, and an absolute deadlock developed in which the Tory Opposi- tion refused to vote supply. It was the boss[ of the Conservatives that they were deliberately preventing the Government from carrying on any public business, with the intention of forcing them to the country. At this time Sir Wilfrid Laurier had a majority of forty-seven in Parliament. There was nothing to prevent him from putting tbeough the closure resolution by the dead-weight of this majority- (as Mr. Barden said later ma) and then force the passage of the "gag." He was even urged by some of his follower'+ to adopt this course. Sir Wilfrid refused to avail himself of this power io a matter of such national Importance. He declined to consider closure and after six months of Conservative obstruction Parlia- ment was dissolved on July 29tb, 1911. At this time, the proposed reciprocity bill had not even received first read- ing, while public business was at a standstill. owing to t.be arbitrary course of the Opposition. ',Vhat is the Tory hbtot y in this conoectiou ? Mr. Borden presented his naval measure ou December -orb, 1912, in so faulty • manner that it was only by the consent of the Opposi- tion that hie methods were put into proper form. The naval discussion started on December 12, 1912, and con- tinued iotermitte• '.iy until February 27th, 1913, when the bill receieed second leading. When Parliament resumed in March, the bill was taken up in committee and Mr. Borden tried to bludgeon the Liberal Opposition into submission with two weeks of continuous day and night sessions, MINER'S 1MlFE ILNOST A WREC been considered by his Cabinet. But supposing Sir Allan Aylesworth had drattel proposals for is closure without tucceoe. Early in May Mr: Borden put through his closure measure, not its a con.titutionat wannie hut by a resolution forced through Parliament by • brute major- ity, and by a Parliamentary trick which made it impossible to fairly dis- cuss the rules or amend them in any •degree. Then the Naval Aid Bill was railroaded through Parliament by the aid of the "gag But during this whole debate. which had not lasted nearly as long as the reciprocity debate, msny other im- portant measures had been dealt witb, and the Opposition. instead of prevent- ing supply as the Conservatives had done, consented to the passing of one- third of the estimates en bloc and had assisted iff-khessage of other im- portant hills. The difference beteden the two de- bates was that in 1911 the Conserva- tives in opposing the reciprocity bill deliberately held up the country's busi- ness. Laurier could have clubbed thew into submission with the closure measure, but refused. and appealed to the people. The Liberals in opposing the Naval Aid Bill fought it alone with every weapon at their disposal. They did not obstruct any other business, nor did they witbbold supply. They were met with a drastic closure rule which was introduced in an unfair and unconstitutional manner and used as unfairly as it had been introduced, while abs Borden -Rogers combination recused to appeal to the people. If the Conservatives can get any satisfaction from such a competition. they must he badly in need of emu- fot t.
