An *In depen dent „Opinion_

From The Financial 'Post, April

A newestandard in tpanadian politics

federation party leaders have tacitly
excused graftas a form ,of social *evil%
which could not be prevented. Heelers

have gone An ;this ,way to grafters dad
form to -day part of our National Debt.

Possibly the 'worst feature or result
of such -a condition, hitherto regarded
as a necessary evil in ,natioaal affairs,
is that the example has affected and is
reflected in every day business. Every
One of uis is now being heavily taxed

nue from the money !thus secured.
The burden is borne by shareholders

corporatiOns, practieally all of them be-
ing ,Noble Who have lived carefully, and
'saved their money.' •
A hurried investigation by a Parlia-
mentary Committee 410W13 OA war .or-
ders have proved a liaryest for Conser-
vative middlemen and thieving contrac-
pea. Millions more will . pass into their
pocketi, to be added to our debt and
.pail off by then -esti of us in increased
taxes. In one easel alone a Canadiai
manufacturer paid al go-between heeler
over 915,000 before he was able te. get

This amount was added Ito the cost to

nounce the practice. -if we mistake not
Sir John 'McDonald was not able to do
more than drop the offenders -from the
cabinet and his list of friends. .
This week, however, the Prime Minis-
ter, In a speeoh in the House, Which
left no doubt as to his sincerity, con-
demned the praatice, read out of the
Conservative party his colleagues and
supporters Involved in the . graft, in-
sisted upon reatitution, asked the De-
partTent of Justice to see whether ,the
law cannot put them behind penitenti-
ary bars'and promised farther investi-
gations. Ile also announced the estab-
lishment of a Government purchasing

Post. The one weak teature• ah pth
erwise courageous speech was the ref-
erence to shnilar scandals under the
Liberals. The example! of one party hag

If Sir Robert Borden has risen, tend

letter written by Lieut. Broder Mc-
Taggart, Who is on the firing line in
France, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
G. D. McTaggart, of Clinton, under
date 'of, March 31st. Lieutenant McTag-
gart is a graduate of the Military Col-
lege, 'Kingston, and went to the front
with the first contingent. Re says:
'am just waiting for din ae„ which
is to be steak, fried potatoa, bread
and jam. We _fare pretty entail here al-
though the steaks are quite often ra-
ther tough. For breakfast we usually
have eggs and bacon, bread and .jam
and when we can get it porridge. Eggs
cost 'us five cents apiece but ;they are
fresh. The milk is rather thin sind the
bread and butter is rotten. -Occasion-
ally we get an fatale of tinned butter
from Canada: Lunch is usually bulte
beef or eome of the tinned rations
and bread and jam or cheese. The tin-
ned rations are stew e and with a lit-
tle heating are very (good, The belly
beef varies with the packere, some good
and some poor. The jam es ;nearly al-
ways plum and apple or plum and it is
beginning to become very tiresome. We

The battery moved into another po-
sition 'Monday morning at 4.304.m. All
our 'moves are made at night [Eibd ev-
erything is always hidden before dawn.
There have been a great number of
aeroplanes up lately, both German and
our own, It is quite a sight to see
them when they are being shot iat by
theeanti-air-craft guns. It is not ,very
often ithat one is hit.
I tate in our observing station ,,now.
It is about 600 yards in ,rear of our
own trenches. In our old position the
observing was done from the trenches.
We take turns among the ,captain and
three subs, two- days observing, two
days 'easy, two days orderly officer at
battery and two days at wagon line,

battery. 'All communication is by tele-
phone. Everywhere you go there are
telephone wires -and some places it is
as tad, as a city corner. In our old pp-
sition we, had about three miles of
wire out and four . telephones in
operation. •-
Up to date the only 'Germans ,I have
seen have been prisoners. We are able
to see their • trenches, communication
trenches and part of the country be-
hind' their lines. They themselves keep
out of sight.
he tcountrY is as flat 'as a pancake
and as it is impoeeible to eget very high
up our view* is limited. Most of the
towers have been knocked down
shells. It adds a great deal ,to,our im-
munity from artillery fire as •the tow-
ers :always give the best point for ob-
servation.
The 3rd Infantry Brigade were in
front of us in the trenches ,in our last
position. Bub Brewer is in that bri-
gade but I did not see him. 'They spend
four Idays in and then thave,four days
out so they have not been having a
• very 'strenuous time. ,
The infantry fire has very little ef-
fect against the parapets. ASV a rule
the only casualties are from snipers
and 'stray shots.
In. our Observing Station there is a
white bat which they delight to...snipe
at when it gets on the roof w!ireh
causes a few. shots to come our was

still ;the house we are tin has( not suf-

When they do come close we ;have our
funk pit -a hole in the ground cover-
ed With sand bags and sods. .It is pret-
ty well bomb proof and 'is the safest
place `to 'make for. •
We get English papers now almost
regularly. I have seen a few ex -cadets
who are in the Imperial Army ,since
came over.

March 24 -Life goes on here with ,the
usual routine, though one can hardly
say with monotony, for there alwaye
seems to be some excitement going.
Yesterday the Germans put a dozen
odd ,,sheils into a village about 2 miles
away, smashing the Church pretty bad-
ly. One of .t -he Jack Johnsons made a
hole six feet deep in the movement. Not
testi& man was killed. Otherwise our
artillery has as usual been doing .nearly
all the shooting. Unfortunately I have in it
no idea of what results they are get- to t

health considering everything. They 8,r

them a great deale of good. '
March 26 -Yesterday the rest of the
Field Ambulance having. moved from.
,the village where they were quartered,
I moved from the adVance dressing ate -
tion after it had been taken over by:
the English ambulances, with my 'little
ca,valcEides of about 60 men with three
anibulance wagons, tiro G. S. wagone
and a water cart. 1 felt quite proud
of my little command and was happyt,
in the 'thought that we were doing e.!
move (of our own without all ithe fuss
and bother usually - attendant upon
Moves of the larger bodice. We had
about 'six miles to go, And .although
was rainy and cold we were all looking
forward to good billets at the end Of
It. Our way lay through the village
that I told you had been shelled by
the Germans two days ago,. so we saw
the work of destruction at close tango.
A whole street of 'houses had been
swept 'as if by .a giant had. --the spats
torn -off and the Interior ripped to
pieces, While the church, an old brick
one, With a square tower, had suffered
very severely. The people were still
trotting about quite cheerfully, and we
saw a good -many troops about.
We arrived at oar town the ,same
one 'of he -cards), which consists prin-
cipally of one long street, and Vaned
the rest of the . unit ensconced 1/C -a
• girls' school --quite a good 'Place with
plenty of 'room for. the hospital. The
little infants are still havingltschool tin
one corner of the 'building. and .amuse
us all very much. We slept 4ast 'night
In the cubicles apstairs. MI orderly,
as usual, managed to make me as com-
fortable as possible under the circum-
stancea and I had. a lovely nine botms'
sleep. This is a fair-sized town with
a real betel, where we went Jest even-
ing and had a real dinner in dining -
room -the place simply swarming with
officers, •beth English and Canadian. I
think abaft a hundred of tie had „din-
ner -with two waiters.
Your th1rd paekage arrived yester-
day and was very 'welcome. What a
lovely selection of grub 1 We started
our ,own mess again to -night and ,had
the nice fruit cake.
We are now very fcletunate in ,our
billets. .We have a large house awfully
weU furnished where the people are
very kind and have turned over nearly
the whole house to us. We have a
dining -room and. a large sitting -room
beautifully furnished with inlaid tables,
etc. The old lady had the Germans
here for four days and evidently didn't
appreciate them very much -they dida
lot oe mean little things, such as.pick-
ing small bits met of ethe jnlaid tables,
etc.
To -night I expect to sleep between
sheets again. Captain - and I have
a room, with two beds, hnd.one of theae
actually has a cover of Valenceinnes
lace. There is guite a long garden ee-
hind, running down to the. canal, and
many of the fruit trees -apricot, pear
and apple -are ill bud ° now.
I don't know how long we ellen be
here, btat it is quite a Test. ,We are
abOut four or five miles from the firing
line, laed at present have no !night col-
lecting trips to make -our -sole duty
being to attend to the sick of our
brigade -a very light job.
About 5 o'clock this afternoon an of-
ficer 'galloped up to say \that ithe per -
mans were again shelling the little ruin-
ed village and that some people had
been hit. I jumped into a motor am-
bulance with a couple of men, some
Stretchers and a surgical haversack,
and we were soon on the ,spot. The
shelling had ceased and the place ;look-
ed even more of a wreck itea,n it did
yesterday. We found that three People
including a woman, had been killed.
The latter was evidently carrying a
baby across the street at the dirne,•but
the little thing escaped by some mire
axle. The one wounded man -a soldier
-had been carried off by some „other
ambulance before we arrived, so we
returned •empty-handed.
I am afraid this letter is rather
rambling, but I am sitting near a com-
fortable fire, and after a dey spent In
the • open air am feeling very sleepy.
