••. H. F. (jADSIYH•
Ottawa Feb. 12.-Tn discriminating
persons the best show of the seesioo
was the clash hetween the two bard -
boiled Igoe --Sir tlatu's and Sir
Thomas's. It has always been non•
ceded that Sir Ilam doesn't ju.trx•ctly
bate himself, but the Finance Minister
adores himself with passion tenderer
still.
Sir Sam's ego was under some re-
straint. He was explaining wby the
Conservative patty loved biw so much
that it kicked biw downstairs. More-
over, he was expleining under diffi-
culties. Sir William Mackenzie had
been down during the week and bed
removed his detonators. Likewise
the (xoveroment was not disposed to
let tiarao too far without taking •
crack back. Altogether Man wee un-
der wraps, but hie Ego pranced well
fust the same.
When Sir Sem got up -to speak, peh
haps ten faithful souls broke into ap-
plause. When be sat down be got e
full round from his side of the House.
Everybody seemed relieved. including
Sam, that nothing had been said that
could back -fire. Sam made it quite
plain that be wouldn't joiu the Liberal
party, because its principles were re-
pugnant to him, and &leo, no doubt,
because, as he was a Liberal many
years ago hefore be was a Con a-
live, he couldn't very well join it
again. As Winston Churchill says,

west breakwater was reeutned in April
and closed for the season in Novem-
ber.
Up to date, berths bays been
dredged, five caiesous plaoed, the
superstructure constructed and riprap
placed, also threedpissons conutruc.ed
ready to he sunk Ri position..
Work of renewal of the north pier,
south pier and river breakwater
was cowmeoled on lltb May
and was completed on 31st
March, 1916, and consists of the
tenewtog of the decking on the north
and south piers and river breakwater
and the placing of twelve new rein
forced concrete mooring -posts.
Total expenditure for the fiscal year
1915-18 is $TAI. 24.12.
"You can rat once. but you Casoni re.
rat, don't you know."
Sam made it plain that he didn't
wait to leave the old Conservative
part y so Iia as there wee a chance of
Isla becoming • Cabinet Minister
again. Sir Sam is under edvieement
that there is to be a shake-up wbich
will shake Premier Bolden out and
that then is his chance. if be gee
thrown down then be can go out and
form a Third Party and become Pre-
mier alopg that route. He can easily
fix it up with Hilly Macieen. who has •
that party, too, but would lump it In
with Sir Sam's if Billy Maclean was
wade Finance Minister. Let W. F.
handle the revenuer of the country
and he doesn't give • hoot who makes
the laws.
U things don't go just right Sir Sam
has •mb.tion and the Third Partyto
hack biro up. Also hope sprngs
eternal in the Kamen t'reast, and, be-
sides, Kir Sam has forty thousand litho-
graphs of himself with • battle back-
grouud, and that ought to he good
o•wpeign literature,If the Third Party
ever had to make • start.
\Vorking under hobbles though it
did, $rim's !Biro made fairly good go-
ing. The letters he quoted -no doubt
written by hintself to himself -gave
full credit to his great qualities of
Mind and heart That letter trick is a
good one. A letter can often say for
you what you can't say for yourself.
It shows that Sant has had • newspa-

the whole tnihe being only the editor
under pen disguises. Same Inters are
taken for what they are worth. They
have ibe.general sone of the letters
written by Sam flow South Afticn.
incidentally Sam fought and won the
Boer war all over again -thio time
without the aesirtatce of his mao

hut be left the comparison to he infer-
red. Also he was autocratic -like
Julius Useaar, or Alexander the Great.
But let that pea. What did Sam do
when he was in the Militia Depart-
ment ?
epart.ment? And bore his Ego had full
scope. Sam told the wonderful story
over again. How he had stripped the
halos from the British War Office and
put Loyd George and the crowd in
their places and had fought for and
won Canadian control of Canadian
troops overseas, and manyother deeds
of high emprise, in whicthere is no
space to follow him here. Sant was
the whole winks while he lasted and
the reason he didn:t last was that he
could 't he the whole works'..niy-
longer. This is the whole secret.
Sam's ewe on the Hon. Mr. Per -
ley, Minis, of Militia Overseas, es
ornamental a superfiuoue,were high-
! entertainin ; also his opinion of
the British offi in general and his
frank criticism o he V. A. D. hos-
pitals in England as' •rriage bureaus,
where hatchet-faced boy spinsters
who had no other ch �es married;
our Canadian officers win they were
too weak and ill tb resist. S threw
most of this information ifl o bit
asides and hie asides are always very
illuminating. Incidentally Sam threw
in a few remarks about British staff
officers which will. no doubt, make
their hair curl when they read them
in the Canadian twrrespondence, shall
we say, of The London 'Times. it
seems that they suffer, not only from
the red -tape worn, but from the army
worm, the hook worm, and a few
others.
Sir Maw's five years of association
with his Nationalist colleagues in the
Borten Cabinet have evidently had
their effect. He gave a certificate of
character to that "vouch misunder-
stood young officer, Armand La-
vergne,' which, of confess, would make
the Nationalists feel tweet •s far as It
went. But, alas, in the vet y next
sentence be was trampling their most
tittered doctrine underfoot and advoca-
ting conscription of the most tbot-
oughgoMQ NOr•t.
Thus and so did Sir Sam awing the
bull by the tail to the glorification of
himself and all his works. it was
when his Ego ran ,Into Tom \Vhitds
that he Invited trouble. Sam has a
talrlyy RRood Ego, but it is old and sh'ert-
wfnded. Tom's Ego is young and
strong and quick at the uptake. Sam,
AN 1 remember, took four separate
cracks at the Finance Minister. You
can look them up for yourself. But
the one that caused trouble was when
he said that Sir Thomas was poking
his noire into ever body's estimate*,
and how he had told Mir Thomas that
his burin/tea war to find the revenue
and to quit middling.
It was this assault that Sir Thomas
arose to defend hittwelt against. He
defended himself for two reasons- be-
eause he wafted to Deka a atop at HOC]
led became it was his chance do
boost himself. Kir Thomas mate
mention of "extravagant and unstew
expendltnres." Sir Sam fairly mapped
at it. "As what ?" he fumed. "Uh,

For seven years, I suffered terribly
from Severe Headaches and Indigestion.
I had belching gas from the stomach,
bitter stuff would Dome up into my
mouth after eating, while at times I had
nausea and vomiting, and had chronic
Constipation. I went to several doctors
and wrote to a specialist in Boston but
without benefit- I tried many remedies
but nothing did me good. FioaIr, a
friend advised " Fruit-a-tives' . I took
this grand fruit medicine and it made
me well. I am grateful to " Fruit-a-

membered the McAdam shovel with
the bole in the middle. The House
rocked with laughter. "Yes," shouted
Sam, "1 knew that was what you had
in your mind."
Which will prompt the reader to
ask why, if be knew that was whet
Sir Thoglss had in his mind, he
reached for it that Way. What A
creek Tom gave Sam with thatehowel,
and after Sam being so kind and con-
siderate of the Conservative party,
too ! Another sly dig was Sit
Thomas' statement that Sir Sam had
once thought so much of him as to
offer to make him an honorary oolonel.
Sir Thomas refused and naturally he
welcomed a chance to tell the public
that be refused and thereby to acquire
merit with sensible people. Even

Motto. And if he can do it by mak-
ing • fool of Sam, why so much the
better !
But taking a whack at Sam was the
least part of Sir 'Thoma.' speech.
What he was out to prove was that
Sir Thomas White was the David
Lloyd George of this Canadian situa-
tion and that Premier Borden was the
Asquith. so to speak. If Sir Thomas
hadn't this in view, why did he quote
at length the letters which he kept
writing to Premier Borden from the
beginning of the war right up to date
-letters all of which showed Premier
-Borden holding back and .Finance
Minister White prodding him on to
take the overseas situation in hand
and get come check on the expendi-
ture which totalled sortie eighty mil-
lion dollars a year. That was the
quarrel -responsibility for the expeod-
itu{'e, not worrying over who should
be brigadier and who not.
•'-'13ieffrornaeletters revealed Premier
Borden as the monkey oo the stick,
and Tom White u the fellow that
made him jump. Which was just
what Tom set out to prove. Q7E. D.,

Thornes would exclaim, and then go
onto tell all the plain and fancy bor-
rowing this country had done and the
trade it had built up. Yoy b..d only
one guess ae to who was responsible for
all these wonderful things. The
Finance Minister disclaimed all praise,
but he intimated that history was
hanging just around the corner to
hand him his wreath when he came
that way.
All of which bears out the opening
