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 the man. 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 counsel prudence and moderation, for • Leader MacKenzie has fighting blood in hire ,and. likes nothing better than to slay die Philistines twenty-four hours a day Leader MacKenzie's job is 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 d wistfully- by certain Liberal .ionists en the other side of the - frouee who remember what a lovely thy it Was when the armistice was aped, what a fine day, for example, it Was for jumping and how near the vacant chair they could have been now if they had jumped then. I 'name uo names but I look straight at them. it would - have taken a bouquet of scoteb. thieties, points upward, on the seat of that chair to- keep them out of it, if they had been properly placed. Meanwhile the empty chair is -quite safe with MacKenzie whd is Willing to 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 osed place. The government is supp to be "reconstructing" on a large scale the the ucy. and Leader MacKenzie has just critical spirit required to keep reconstructors from getting too sa Certain timid souls in the Government _side who were apprehending a "swingthat e of they hack to Laurier" are now, saying' his empty chair will be an appl discord. But bless their heats, don't know D. D. MacKenzie. Any will apples of discord he has in stock never be hurled at that empty chair. He knows a better place to hurl them. Is that the Tresury Bench I see. that ducking? Somehow or other I always felt D. D. MacKenzie would land that temporary leadership. He answered the specifications, so to speak. He was the Man's trusted lieutenant last h is session—also his desk enate whic a strategtcal position. D. D. had, as it were, his hooks on -it. He ran straight—never bolted—and he came from a province where the Grits are The s D. the the granite though the heavens fell. caucus just naturally couldn't pas D. MacKenzie over. He had ell marks that led one to him—like • Grand Llama of Thihet. • s What does the old rhyme say? Look to the east—nobody seems to have thought of looking anywhere else—and look to the west and choose the very one that you love best. If he is not here to take your part, choose the one that's next your heart. This is the temporary leadership to the smallest detail, D. D. is the one that's next the heart. The other aspirant— for the permanent leadership—are not here to take our part. That is to say they axe not at present in the House of Commons. Look to the 'east and look west.

I3RUCEFIELD 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.
