The Best Newspaper Value In Western Ontario Ube loon bon RRDnertiser All Mail Editions SP Per Year OUR OTTAWA LETTER! MISERABLE FROM 444••••• BY M. t. GADSBY Ottawa, Aug. 4. -Just for the mo est toe chief topic is the misadventure of Sir Joseph 11'lavelle. bir Joseph' misadventure is that he has hroten the eleventh comwandwent-he bas been found out. Most punctilious in observing al the other cowwaudweuts in the dec elogue--that is to say, obseCrving them w far as they do not interfere with a legitimate profit --Sir Joseph has Callen down on the eleventh. It may be said in extenuation that it wasn't his fault -he didn't find himself out - the O'Connor report did it for him. Even now Sir Joseph is not convinced that if he is foupd out be is Leat. On the contrary,he not only explains thst 5.05 cena gross profit per pound to bacon but gives it a moral naoct,on. The explanations and moral sanc- tions of course extend to the discrep- ancy in taxes which he paid to the Dominion treasury. If Sir Jueepb was right in paying war taxes on a half million profits then Mr. O'Connor is wroug in figuring that be should have paid war taxes on five millions. It is one gentleman's ivied against another. lu making your choice you will kindly remember that Mr. O'Con- nor bar no bacon to sell. Mr. O'Connois figutes deal with the export price of bacon. What the purchaser by the pound at home paid for bacon is another story. The im- pression Mr. O'Connor !raves on this subject is that the profits iu the home market are not fit tr. print. Neither the O'Connor report nor ?air Joseph's fall -page ten-cent.a-line-come-beck in the chief metropolitan newspaper deals with this aspect of the case. Consequently we are entitled to hr- lieve,tbe worst. Sar Joseph's neere.t competitor in the export 03a1'het man- aged to sell bacon at a little over three rents per pound grnss profit. The extra two cents which SriJoseph made on his product was the reward of virtue. Sir Joseph puts it down to cheaper production, but there is no doubt that Sir Joeepb's piety has a great deal to do with it. There is no doubt that prayer is answered : if Bir Joseph chooses to prey for two extra tents a pound why shouldn't he be answered as well an persons who are far less diligent in good works ? Such is the pet vereity of human na- ture that the O'Connor report is being read bymost people in connection with he Memisge air Joseph was bursting with when he came back from England. That message as de- livered W the Ottawa Canadian Club was that all true patriots should be ashamed to make money out of the British Empue's agony. "To hell with profits, ' said Sir Joseph and he wiped his streswiug eyes. Yee, like another (amour person In sacred ,his- tory. Sir Joseph wept. Weeping is one of the best thing. air Joseph does. Moder the stream of an emotion he does it readily and copiously and without the eaeistance of onions. At Cha time Sir Joseph wept and said "To hell with profits" toe O'Connor report was not extant. It was not even begun. %Vheu Mir Joseph saw the O'Connor report iris manuscript -trying a friend of a section of the Borden Govern- ment he always has a tint look at these things -be did not like it and as a matter of fact wrote Mr. O'Connor a very attentive letter about it which Mr. Connor answered in a reason- able tone but did not go Lack on his conclusions. Rumor has it that Food Controller Hanna became intereeted at thief !uncture in the O'Connor re- port and suggested that it would be s fine thing to print. In fact, Food Controller Hanna thought it was far too good a report to suppress. Food Controller Hanna, representing as he does Standard Oil, which is a farmore powerful interest than the %Valiant Davies Company, was not afraid of Sir Joseph Flavelle. So the cold stor- age part of the report was promptly published. it mysteriously fell into the hands of an Ottani' j.lurnalist who had been defeated a year ago in a municipal election by the high -cost - of -living interests sed naturally he went to it with zest. This is the story of how s report, so detrimental to Sir Joseph Flavelle, the man whom the Borden Government delights to hon- or. came to be published. Tbe surprising thing to Sir Joseph -but not to those who have been watcbing the drift of public opinion - was the merely passive resistance that was put up to having the report made public. Somehow or other there seemed a disposition on everybody's part to let the people hear the wont about the great and good Sir Joseph and then hear what he bad to sty about it. The gentlemen who bad made profits and who bad winced when Sir Joseph said to hell with them were glad, so to speak, that Jo- seph was now bring discovered by his brethren and that be had nothing on them. The members of the Cabinet, with the exception of Sir Thomas White, felt that it was almost impos- sible for anybody to be as good ea Sir Joseph said he was and that it would be a good thing to be a considerable distance off when his reputation blew up. The Premier was sore at Sir Jo- seph conspiring with Sir Thomas to oust him from the premiership and Bob Rogers, so the etory goes, slapped Mr. O'Connor on the back and said, "Go to it. We're all with you." In fact, for such a great and good man Sir Joseph had mighty few friends on either side of politics. Of course the Borden Government can't dissociate itself from the high- cost -of -living by kicking tree of Sir Joseph after he bee had his own way for three yeere. But it's revenge. Mir Joeeph, as a public man, falls like a thunder -smitten oak. And a month or two later the Borden (4overament falls at a general election,wbich shows that there is such a thing as s Govern- ment keeping too good company. In fact Sir Joseph le pious enough to ruin almost anybody. Nobody here is anxious about Sir Thomas White's political career. He Is supposed to be Flavelle', man, but there is nothing in Mir Thomas' past to warrant the belief that he will stick to the butcher baronet when he is going down. As long as they are going up Sir Thomas is with them -hut when they start to toboggan Sir Thomas looks the other Way. Up to date Sir Jomeph's come -back has not been very effective. it con - 1 STOMACH TROUBLE Felt Wretched Until He Started To Take "Fruit -a -tires it 594 CHAMPLAIN Sr., MOtt5CAL. "For two years, I was a miserable sufferer from Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble. 1 had frequent Dizzy Spells, and when I took food, felt wretched and sleepy. I suffered from Rheu- matism dreadfully, with pains in my back and joints, and my hands swollen. A friend advised "Fruit-a-tivea" and from the outset, they did me good. After the firsi box, I'M / was gelling well and I baa truthfully say that "Fruit -a -twee" is the only medicine tbathelpedme". LOUIS LABRIE. 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial rise, 25c.

The advertisement was almost Targe enough to influence editorial opinion, but of course it didn't. in his telegram, which was characterized by usorevehewence than argument, Sir Joseph came se near swearing as a pious men can. The re - mute of his detractors he .character ized as "fllppaut impudence." In hie full-twµe advertisement Sir Joseph took a milder tone but still displayed a certain amount of heat, mingled with aristocratic scorn of "G:,vern- went officials" who bring in repor s which do not agree with Sir Jo.eph's view. As a baronet, Sir Joseph feels that these person. should be kept in their place. Sir Joseph also deplores the blow to a baric industry like agri- culture which such a report must he and intnnates that Mr. O'Connor is no political economist. Sir Joseph has a D•>litical economy shop of his own in Tutrunto University with Sir Rohrer Falcooer behind the counter. Pot. the rest Sit Joseph made his argument on the difference between "wsrginr" and gross, profits which he says .Mr. O'Connor did not. take into account. MIICb a deft reasoner is Sir Joseph that if the argument had run another column he would probably have shown that, instead of bis making, profits. the public was actually owing bins money for bacons Everybody agrees t at it was well that he stopped whet be did, other- wise there would have n no excite- for the investigation which he has demanded. Sir Joseph needn't even, demand an investigation. All he bas to do te to ask for it gently in his usual low, soft. sweet voice and he will get it on the jump. H. F. OADIiBY.

What About Bacon 4 "The primary duty of a Food Con- troller in Canada and the United States'," said Hon. W. J. Hanna in a recent interview, "is to sen that the men at the front do not suffer front want Of food, and that our Mother Country and our European Allies should not suffer from want of food." "Have you power to cheek prices Y" Hon. W. J. Hanna was asked. "Certainly." "Are you going to exercise it ?" "in the cases where we have the necessary data we will not hesitate to check prices," declared Mr. Hanna. Pir William Hearst, Premier of Ontario, fears that Shortage of food supplies will hinder the Allies in win- ning the war. "We mutt look calmly and fearlessly at the present Situation Unless there ie greater thriftp econo- my and conservation of food, there will be a shortage 0l supplies ti Great Britain and her Allies that will hinder her dieresis •.f winning the war," said Premier Hearst. 7IM-BUK Pwly pra.am/ 5- 6s6tsg41r--gMp YselF7eiems Imehne--feds -err emoting. eta Sam -1W tw belt/~ slakes.
