everyorie, that we feel it will be diffi-
cult to fill your. place,
As a tender your example has al-
ways been of an uplifting nature, and
we feel deeply grateful for the influence
for good which you have scattered in
our midst. Moreover, we feel that our
time has not been misspent, but that we
have profittecl very materielly, and that
the knowledge which we have obtained
Will be remembered in the years with
pleasure and profit.
In our game and amusements you
have always been a willing sharer, and
we feel that the pleasure which you
have brought into our lives will not
soon be forgotten.
While we regret your deeision to leave
tie, we hope and trust that your field of
labour and usefulness may be broadened,
and that wherever you may go, prosper-
ity and happiness may follow.
Feeling as we do We could not allow
yen to depart withoet some tangible
tribtite of our love end esteem so we
beg you to aecept this email gift as a
slight taker, of our regard for you and
hope that we may often act as a re-
minder of the many bappit been spent
together ie the Jusicticai sehool.

THE LIBERAL COURSE ENDORSED.1
A few days ago, Liberal incompetence
and real -administration in the handling
of publie contracts was a favorite theme
with opponents of the Laurier cabinet.
Theee were insinuations of rake -offs,
graft and naiddleznen. There were
assertions that contracts were given to
favorites and that the interests of the
country queered in consequence. It
was charged that men and firms were
given contracts whice they were not
competent to handle. That was the
Conservative story in the years preced-
ing 1011.
There is another story now. It is
told by no less an authority than a mem-
ber of the Borden Government.
"When we took office," declared Hon,
Sam Hughes, inspeaking of work under
his department, as reported in the Ur -
revised Hansard for June 6,th last, "we
became virtuous and tried to change
the eontractors, but we met with loss
and delay and all sorts of trine:de on the
part of men, who, in the course of years,
would probably have become as expert
as the employees of the old contractors.
The old men have been doing this kind
of work for years and can do it mud
more satisfactorily and, therefore, we
are still giving them the contracts.
The Government has found that the
best work was done by the =traders
who were employed by the former ad-
ministration. It cannot have found that
there were improper acts on the part of
these contractors in other years unless
it is to be assumed thatPrernier Borden
and his colleagues are prepared to trust
the business of the country in tbe hands
of men whom they know to have been
guilty of wrong -doing. The feet is
plain -and it is emphasized by the ad-
mission of Colonel Hughes -that under
Liberal rule contracts for public business
were awarded only to eompetent men
or firms and that the country received a
dollar's worth of value for every dollar
paid. Slander cries were used by Mr.
Borden and his allies in gaining power
The Government's acts expose the eland
er now.
