ment the last word.
This last word is not as affective as
last words ought to be because, so far
the jury persists in looking upon it as a
rather tiresome and expensive joke in
which the laugh somehow or other has
gone wrong. What makes it such a
saucy document is the nature of the
charges to which it is put forward as a
reply. Satan rebuking sin is not a
circumstance to this to quoque per-
formance of
er-formanceof the land grafters. To turn
away wrath an answer should be soft
but not soft enough to poke holes init.
The Ferguson report went back fifteen
years in a futile attempt to "get" Frank
Oliver. and the main thing it discovered
was that the lessee of certain lands, be-
longing to the former Ministerofthe
Interior, was behind in this mining
i royalties to the Government, a small
matter of detail' for which Dr. Roche
I was willing to make the usual allowances
until it became necessary "to have -
something on Frank." Whereupon the
Ferguson report got busy and such
slackness toward a Liberal ex -Cabinet
Minister was found to be a grave
scandal although nobody- had thought
it worth bothering about• up to that
moment.
Like Tartarin of Tarascon, who set
out to shoot lions and brought back a
harmless inoffensive camel, the Ferguson
report was something of a fizzle. It dug
down fifteen years and didn't get
enough' gold filling to stop 'a tooth. It
tunnelled among the long dead and
buried and met with the usual result—
