He /3 the man around when. the pleasant fiction .was being built! 'He may be ',eccentric, but be does things." There seem to have been :methods ire his madness. George Kyte has shown some of the 'thinge he doles — to say the least • of it he hurtle Canadian moneye likewise Brit- bish, by the, millions. This Royal Cornmiesion ,' stingy, as it is, is a desperate emeasure to save theGovej'nment. Govetnment. It marks the, end of Sir Sarnte power over his colleagues. Sam must obey orders now, cancel his Lone don banquet',put off the family ren unions of Hughes colonels, and hike leitme to eave his bacon if he can. If he can't lied goes out. Even such a staunch aupporter a Premier Borden hese no use for a discredited War Lord. The Royal Commission proves no change of heart• in the Cabinet. It was brought about by dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Conservative party in the House. It was the silent hote that spoke up, the humble, hohest back+benchers who were not sweet on Sir Sam and his vagaries. They were pained and surprised at George Kyte's revelatlons. Sam's rstmifications in the trotted States via .Colonel 3. Wes- ley tellieon an his crowd of Yankee high Indere was news to them. There is reason to suppose that it wesn't news to , his Cabinet colleagues because when Prlanier Borden and Sir Sam cambe beck from England last Sep- tember, they Wert( met In Naw York by Allison and Yoakum, , who, no doubt, told- them that .they were* fall- ing out with their- partner, Eugene Lignanti, I the -flute player, and 'were eettling up with as little noise as poesible. Consequently, the horror' dist- played by the Cabinet has ,more con- cern' with the Eleventh Commandment which read: dThou, shalt . not ' be found out." Sir Sam' life-long friend soul, mate, c onfidential advisee., disin- tereSted -patriot, and chief money eaver to the Britieh Empire, is in process of being found out. Hence the stern command to Sam to come back and face the music. One finds in the Conservative rank and file every degree ,of -indignation from lukewarm to boiling. °Stealing, said, one of them to me, not drinking, 13 the vice of this 'couOtry."
