Major-General Sir Sam Hughes is
getting lathe bard knocks from hie
party "friends." As a result of a dis-
pute between Sir Sam and Mr. J. A.
We.tman, the Conservative candidate
for the Commons at Regina, concern_
iog the purchase of horses and other
army supplies in the Regina disUict,
some interesting correspondence has
come to light. Mr. NVestuiao in a
letter to the Minister refers to the
batter's "exaggerated ego." In • letter
to Hon. Arthur !llrighen Westtaan
says Sir Sam hes 'Ione clean batty.'
The Evening I'nociore and Standard
the Comet votive newspaper at Regini
puts in the followingcarfdid comment
"With the publication of these let-
tere, it feria free to present frankly
its i k pion of the man who today
oeclipses the highly important position
of Minister of Militia and Defence.
We will not descend to the level of
Billingsgate customarily employed by
that gentleman himselt. Suffice it to
say that he is lack.ng in the instincts
of • gentleman, that he is tempera-
mentally unfit for aoy posit'on of
responsibility, that his vagaries are
past all accounting, and that his
further retention of his present office
constitutes a metier. to the country
and to his party. His !mete offences
against decency. his disregard for
truth. and his lack of honor speak for
themselves. All - the major charges
are frilly eetahlr.bed by the correspon-
dence published in this paper today.
Premier Sir Robert Borden ham the
full confidence of the Canadian people.
To him The Evening Ptnvinc. and
Standard is willing to confide the issue
diecloeed by this correspondence, and
we well know that Mr. Westman, too,
will he content to abide by his judg-
ment."
Hard words : hut Sir Sam's "ego''
can survive all these things
A New Zea'ani correspondent writes
ae. follows to The London Spectator,
the leading Unionist weekly :
"There et evidently a strong im-
pression in London that the Domin-
ions are aoxiour about their pert in
the settlement of the war, and are an-
noyed will the Imperial Government

quently get cable messages expressing
.uch a view, especially extract, from
the Times leaders, severely criticizing
the Imperial Government tor the4c
refusal to hold a conference Today
we have a fairly long extract from The
Moo ning Poet on 1 be same pines cabled
to lir, and we find Mr. T. P. O'Counor
saying that the pledge of the Govern•
went to consult the Dominion. hoe
'removed a reproach' felt in these
council... All this solicitude is puz-
zling to colonials. Leader -writers it
London are quite mistaken about !eth-
nic opinion with us. The 'reprrarh dis-
cerned by Mr. O'Connor no. never
existed. There t• not the slightest
anxiety here about our part In the
slent of thIn about

We trust the Imperial (ioresnment in
this as we trust them in navel and
military matters. Seeing that we glue
them absolute control over the best of
stir manbu od, which they can send to
Timbuetoo or Jericho if they want to,
it would be strange if we were to
worry about their capecit to make •
favorable peace 'l'nfaith in aught
is want ofa► ith in all.' Thew London
criticisms do not Interest tie here. We
would far rather have good war news."
The New Z-alandet's letter is timely.

P1iv3lityand pleasure will have far
less sway in Canada this winter than
in past seasons, but there are still a
large number of people who haven't
yet greened the fact that the wpreme
thing just now is to carry the war to
atriuwphant finish and are planning
"good times." At this time energy

"There are many unmarried men
who have not given one cent to any
patriotic fund," was the remark of a
well-known gentleman in our hearing.
We feel that it is true. For exatupbe.
on the night of the band concert in
aid of the British Red Cross appeal, a
score amen, chiefly young men, were
standing on the street corner within a
block of the opera house. They were
too indifferent, too mean. or too
"'mart-" to have anything W do with
the great business in which the beet
people of the town were engaged. It
is such as these that our friend doubt-
less referred to, and it is such as these
that should be reached by way of
taxation. We commend to Hon. J.
8. Duff and his colleagues the sugges-
tion of amend log the municipal act by
tbe addition of a clause providing for
the levy of a special war tax on un-
married men without property. There
is not one who is in receipt of a daily
wage who could not contribute •
reasonable amount without • strain.
They are receiving the protection of
the British Ewpire and enjoying all
the rights of citizenship and should
pay their .hare.
