OUROTTAWA LETTER ••. 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.

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- per training. They frequently do that in a newepeper office -set Justine. and Veritas, and Pro Bono Publico going. 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 Tannin. Sam sten analyzed hisown faults. He frail Lp admitted that he had faults. Whit gzeat- steam basun. ? Ma had a quick teopsa--like Napoleon. He uidn-t retention Napoleon, to Ise sure. 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, ALBERT VARNER Buckingham, Que., May 8rd, 1915. naEDOINo1, 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- tives ", and to everyone who has mise- rable health with Constipation and Indi- gestion and Bad Stomach, I say take " Fruit-a-tives", and you will get well"• ALBERT VARNER. 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size, 25e. At dealers or sent postpaid on receipt of price by Fruit -a -Uvea Limited, Ottawa, well,' said Sir Thorns*, "tor example, shcvele." Of course everybody re- 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 when Sir Thomas is m ' pa g them out" he doesn't forget that de has hi'. way to make. Excelsior -that 1s his 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., as our Id friend Euclid used to say, in tb course.of •n hour's speech Sir Thomas must have paused once is minute to hurl a bouquet at himself. Not meknioning names, of course, but looking straight at the party con- cerned. Carefully avoiding the first person singular, but leaving itto the common sense of the House to under. stand that only one man could he meant. "Lack of leadership !•' Sir 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 statement of this article -that the- hard-boiled hehard-boiled Ego rim plit must adver- tise. F. OADNHY. Authority was given to have Messrs.
