Those who speak of Oliver Mowat's ac- ceptance of a title as the weakness of a vamn. old man ignore Oleg:possibility that it may be the strategic move of aremark- ably brilliant politician. Sir Oliver is not going to allow herGoverrinient to be tarred with the suspicions excited by false charges against the Dominion Liberals. Nor is he or any of his collea- gues tnclined to unduly advertise the questionable excellencies oftthe United States. They constitute a government of Canadians for Citna"diane, and the Ministry favours a titled leader, because it may thus gain a vote that could not be won by a party whose leader was un- identiaed with the popular preference for British connection. MR JOHN A13130TT. MO it was deemed expedient to say that the offer of the order has been consid- ered by a Cabinet Council, and that its re- ceipt had been officially determined upon. This was designed to relieve Sir Oliver of responsibility for his decoration. Bat the statement, instead of excusing Sir Oliver, extended the area of responsibility. All the Liberal leaders who are of the Cabinet are now declared to be consenting parties to the principle involved in the acceptance of knighthoods.
