THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT
Those people who were anticipating
a lively session of parliament, are ap-
parently, not going to be disappointed
As a rule great bodies move slowly
until they- get their velocity, but this
session of parliament has *en very
much the exception thus far, as the
Government has been under fire, al-
most frem the opening moment. And
it is not the Otmosition either that
have se far caused great uneasiness
in the seats of the mightly, but loyal
supporters of both Borden and Union
Government. The first shot was -fired
by Mr. Hocken, one of the Toronto
members, -who bitterly attacked the
civil service commision, which was -ap-
pointed by the Government, to remove
t
the patronage evil from. the country.,
This comrnision did exactly as all
other :cox:emissions appointed by the
Government have done. Having been
needy friends of the 'Sowers that be
an having been provided with a soft
job at a fat salary, they immediately
,proeeeded to treat their_ needy friends
and relatives in a like manner, and all
at the country's expense. The result
inthiie• case has not been 'to remodel or
in any -way increase the efficiency of
of the civil eervice, but quite the op-
pob*.
The
second e blow to Union Govern -
mei by one of itsoown members,came
on uesday, when Sir Sam Hughes,
former Minister of Militia, made the
meek serious and sinister chargee a-
gain* the *sent Government, that
have ever been made against any.gov-
ernifitent in 'Canada. The fortner Min_
isteliasaf Militia chtveges
Government is owned body and soulby
Sir Joseph Flavelle. That it was Sir
JOSE:ta who organized the Union and
field' offered the Premiership to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, and that upon Sir
Wild's flat refusal of such a bribe,
Maielle subsidized the press of -Can-
ada t� gain its contol and suppress
free' speech then raised the Cry "Con-
demn Quebec." Sir Sam declared
that Sir Joseph Flavelle was the Cab-
inet maker and arch plotter behind a
Union Government -Conscription and
profiteering: eonspiracte and that Sir
Joseph Flavelle made one hundred
millions out of the war. Sir Sam also
charg4 that Canadian soldiers were
needlessly sacrificed at Cambria and
Monet for the self -glorification of
Governnient appointed Generals, and
that these generals should be court-
Siet Sam's speech was a remarkably
frank utterance, and coming from a
Man a his standing, they demand an
immediate and searching investiga-
tion. Whatever Sir Sam's capacity as
a critic', or whatever his reputation fee-
rasheseethe is the Man who managed
the military affairs `of this country
during the greater part of the war,
and he should have an intimate laiow-
ledge of the political affairs of Canada
during the pat five years. No one
but a fool would ctist such charges a-
gainst his former colleagues, without
foundation for his statements, and no
matter what filings Sir Sam Hughes
may have, he ia far from being a fool:
One thing, is certain, . the charges,
whether trua 'er false, will not be al-
lowed to drop by the people of Can-
ada until they are lifted to the bot-
tom by an impaittiO investiation.
DEAD MENS' SHOES
Daniel Donald Mackenzie of Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia, is the Joshua -o' -
the -pinch who will bridge the gap be-
tween the wilderness and the promises'
land until the Liberal party holds
its national convention next midsum-
mer. Then the real Saul, will be
chosen but meanwhile MacKelizie's

Leader MacKenzie will be assissted
by Chief Whip Robb and a committee
of four. The main duty of Mr. Robb
and his committee will be I take it, to

lead --under advisement—for the next
five months or so; to do the rough and
tumble, to endure the heat and shoul-
der the burden, to draw the salary—
which is a consideration—but not to
occupy the vacant chair, which is to
be kept sacred for Sir ,Wilfeid's per-
manent successor.
The vacaat chair by the way, is

For a while I understand the caucus
cast glances in the direct* of Mr.'
Fielding who, like the late Mr. Barldis
was ,not unwilling- if the choice were
unanimous But this was just whet the
choice could not be. In the opinion
of some Mr. Fielding had to come from
too far across and though it was ad-
mitted that his return to the party
would be the signal fot Unioniist Lib-
erals to follow it was felt that similar
opportunities would be offering all the
time now and meanwhile that some-
body ought to be chosen -who had not
"gone back on the Old Man." This
view was so stoutly held by a Quebec
block .of -twenty young members that
they finally brought the jury to their
side and the job to Daniel Donald
MacKenzie—otherwise known as "D„
D." and the "Judge—who has never
swerved from the straight -party path
since he came to Parliament fifteen
years ago.
There is every reason to believe that
D. 0, will he the right man in the right

Notes.—Mrs, A. T. Scott, wile has
been confined to the house for some\
days with a bad cold, is now able to be
around again.—Rev. D. W. McIntosh,
B.. A. conducts pre Communion ser-
vice in the Presbyterian church, Clin-
ton this Friday evening. Mr. James
Hill, who recently returned from over-
seas accompanied by his wife, were
visiting with their parents here last
week. Our citizens getting word of
their coming, arranged for a reception
which was very enjoyable.—Many
were the glad expressions of regard
that were bestowed upon John Aiken -
head, who arrived from overseas last
Friday. John had been in France for
nearly 'three years and hie brother
Clarence is still in England. John and
Clarence are sons of William Aiken -
head, just north of the village and en-
listed When they were but lads, and
are now returaing full grown men.
We say men 111r -the widest and fullest
meaning of the word. The sacrifice
they offered so freely and willingly
along with the training and expierence
received in the greatest war of the
ages and the consciousness of doing
their bit cannot fail but show itself
in life and conduct, and while Bruce -
field and vicinity feels justly proud of
all the boys who obeyed their countrys
call, have a tender feeling of regard
for the two small boys not long enter -
and chosen. The wet may get its
turn when the National Convention
'takes a look.
I make a guess that this will be a
brisk session with D. D. MacKenzie
in the van. He is full of impetus, but
he does not lack discretion. He was
a Judge for two years once upon a
time, but found the-., life dull end got
back' into -politics where liecould staply
is judiciousness to livelier. issues. The
matter which usuapy comes up for
D. D..1 judgment is the heat of de-
bate is, "Shall I kill him now or sim-
• ply disable him?" Sometimes he does
one, sometimes the other, very, often
both. He comes, as I said before, from
Nova Scotia where the parties al-
ways run true to form and where it
is ouite impossible to be a Grit and a
Tory at the same time or for any con-
siderable period This is why Union
Government coattinues to lose ground
in Nova acotia -now' that the first
fine carelesa rapture is over. In Nova
Scotia you must be either a Grit or a
Tory. There are only two sides to
the road (been there and the middle
is not used. This is why Nova Scotia
begins to lose faith in' her native son,
Premier Borden, who was greatly ad-
mired when he was a Grit and equally
respected when he became e Tory, but
who is by way of being misunderstood
now that his Gorenneent is camou-
flaged as both.
D. 'D inflexible orthodoxy is- move
intelligible to Neva Scotia than Union
Government which is like a chameleon
on a plaid shawl—liable to burst it-
self trying til make gisodi When Union-
ism invaded Nova Scotia it stopped at
Cape Bretoo which is an island, as
George the Third, with almost human
intelligence, aptly observed. Union-
ism failed to reach Cape Breton pos-
sibly because the del cannot cross
water or maybe because D. D. Mac-
Kenzie was there to wave it back. At
all events A didn't make a ripple.
And now having upheld the faith, D.
D. 'gets faith's reward.
The comment of the curious is con-
cerned with the initials D. 0, which
the new leader might as well wear
afttr his 'name as before—so much
does he know about theology.. D. D.
was brought up on the Bible and the
Westminister Companion—not bad
nourishment for the growing, mind,
especially when mixed with Nova
Scotia politics, a combination which in-
sures lively interest both here 'and
hereafter. New 'that he has become
leader of his Party .13. D. has, of course
a firmer belief in predestination than
ever. Indeed it is not often that pre-
destination works out so comfortably.
D. D. has read the Bible three times--
- once as Holy Writ, once as the su-
preme example of English literature
and once as a weapon of offence. Many
a poor victim has D. D. stunned with
Bible quotations. The Bible is to him
a sword, a buckler, a big club, and a
fencing -foil. It di.kes knowledge to
handle the Bible that way! The word
of peace, or the trumpet of thunder,
D. D., has it at his tongues end. Give
him the Bible and a few statistics and
D. D. will smite- antr Amalekite that
bobs up—smite him hip and thigh
and elsewhere. His wit is full bodied
—not delicate and tripping, but mas-
sive. I recall at the moment one of
his many pet phrases when he spoke
of "the glacier like progress of the
Trade of Commerce Departnient."
D. D.'s first name is Daniel which
indicates that he has dared to stand
alone .on more than one occasion. The
last time he did it was when he stood
up in the House of Commons and gave
Sir Joseph Flavelle's profitable'pietism
what was coming to it. Pais perform-
ance then convinces me that he will -
handle the political situation with
courage mid boldness I he enters
