A QUESTION OF 'SMELLS
"And what might the smell be?"
.isked the youngest Ottawa correspon-
dent. "Rats."
"No," replied the Ord Hand, "it isn't
rats. 'There are no rats in this room.
The rats are -well the rats are else-
where."
"It's a strange miler," Mused the
youngest 'correspondent, "as if some-
thing, lingexed around unburied, like
Limberger 'cheese or a shantyraan's
socks. Whateven it is, it's pretty
rotten. Do yen think it could be the
Wer Itreasures Act?"
"No," answered the 'Oki Hand, "ft
isn't the War. Measures ace. - The last
time. they 'took it oat to grab the G.
T. P., it smelt a little mouldy, but that
was all It's crurnmy, admit, but
it isn't putrid -at least not yet,"
"Might it be theseven thousand
orders -in -council passed by Union Gov-
ernment" persisted the youngest cor-
respondent. "Now that peace is prac-
tically in sight, they can't be keeping
very well."
"Nett- grunted the Ohl Hand, "it
isn't the seven thousand orders -in -
council. Ileighen brought in a little
bill to post -cure them the ether day._
So they'll pass a little longer without"
offence to the Health Officer. You'll
have to guess again my boy."
• "Do you think it could be the Tar-
iff?" ventured the Youngest Corres-
pondent "It's pretty high you Imam
The 'Western fellow's go round licdd-
ing their noes -but they don't seem
to be trying to disinfect it."
"No," said the Old Hand, "it isn't
the taeff, A lot of nasty things can
be said about the tariff, but it is at
least a live issue. This smell you
notice is a dead one."
"-Perhapa," guessed the 'Youngeit
Correspondent, "It's the Department
of Public Information: Itti-been dead
from the start. It's high time it was I
decently interred?'
"No,". growled the Old Hand, tit .
isn't the Department of Public Infor-
mation. That belongs to Mr,. Rowell
who, as everybody knows carries With
him_ nothing stronger than the odor of
sanctity. The attempt to use the
Department of Public Information as
a poison gas factory failed, and
it is now quite harmless, though
absolutely unnecessary and absurdly
expensive." a
"Might it be the Censors Depart-
ment?' asked the Youngest Corres-
pondent. "The war is over now; the
the overseas censorship' is lifted, and
we have about as much need. of a
censorship here as a camel has for a
third stomach. The Censors Depart-
ment has outlived its -usefulness and
ouglat to be buried forthwith!'
"Slowly, my lad," chided the Old
• Hand, "You've eltating on thin ice
there. Remember that the Censors
Department distributes one hundred
thousand dollars a year in salaries to
deserving but impecunious newspaper
men. It's part of the Union Govern-
ment propaganda to mellow public
opinion by keeping poseible agitators
quiet."
"And the Repatriation and Employ-
ment 00,MMitteer" girded the Young-
est Correspondent • "It seems to de
nothing but issue diagrams shovring
labor how many miles away it is
from the neereet job. Wouldn't it. be
/better to shut the thingeneff and let
„ nature take it course?
"Softly. ,my boy," smiled _the 011
.Hand. "Lay Ito hands en the Rep -
triation and Employment camellia e
;seedier refuge of tired and retit d
jonrnalists. another sanctuary of
superfluous, peopagandai Remember
our friends are there, as -snug as
mites in the cheese."
"Cheese is gocelti remarked the
Youngest Cotrespendent, "but this
smell ig more like Argyll House.
Every returned officer seems to raise
a ,etirei 'bout Feeley and Kemp and
Ttirrier. Could it be this stench that
permeates the corridors ?"
!We," answered the Old Hand
• "It isn't Argyll House. Argyll House
may be rotten but it's three thousand
miles away and this .smell is right
here in the House," _
"Could it be the War Trade Board'
zuggested the Youngest Correspond-
ent "It is still drawing pay and
expenses and sheltering distinguished
refugees from ,the Food Board. It's
• pretty rank considering the fact thet-
a. the trade it gets Canada pays for.
Seventy million credit to Greece, Rou-
mania and Belgium -three busted
countries to give -us bad notes!"
"Save your indignation, my, boy,"
admonished the .01d Hand." "We've
got to expect this sort of fman.ce as
long as Flavelle has bacon to unload
at war prices. But there are worse
things in the `garbage pail. This
smell you complain of comes from
something a good deal rottener, some-
thing much deadlier to the national
health than anything you have men-
tioned. Have you noticed where the
smell Is strongest?" .
tWity yes," said the Ye-h./meet
▪ Comespondent, tree strongest in the
Cabinet. The honorable gentlemen
seem to have it -even ,metheir hair
They're steeped, soused, pickled in it
The members of Parliament are
•••anr
"lautiti-tft''''
plastered with it; but not so mnuch
The 014,4Line Tory crowd are the
highest flavored."
"You've said it," grunted the, Vit
.Hand e "The mess you smell is the

ways a rotten trick and now it rot-
Itener than even It is an offence to

"It's.thAt bad; is it?" asked ,the
Youngest Correspondent. tt ,
-"It's that bad," grunted the Old
Hand "and, worse. I seem to de-
tect a reek of fresh evil in it Per-
haps it's the new Franchise Act - If
iit's half as rotten as the War Time
Election Act, it will be too rotten
by half; We mint beware haw • we
carry War visages. over into times
of peace." '
-"They wouldn't have the nerve,"
chirped the Y•esingest Correspondent
"It would be too raw. Hasn't, the
world been made safe for democracy ?"
"Perhaps, sonny; but that isn't the
question. Has Canada been made safe
for Union Government and will a
Franchise Act do it?"
The Old Hand and the Youngest
Correspondent sniffed again -the
mell was stronger than ever. .

ROWELL PROPAGANDIST
METII0D5
Apropos of Mr. Rowell's well-known
anabition to the • leadership of Sir
Clifford Sifton's Meer Party, some of
the Tory members, who are known to
be anything but friendly to the eult
of Rowellism, are incensed at the
methods resorted to .by the President
of the Council in order t aehieee
his ends. They have discovered What
they tregard as a flagrant abuse -of
the privilege of the mails in thesprom
aganclist activities of the three tatters
of Tooley Street who make ap the
Rowell party'. It is notemlikely that
the matter may be brought to the
notice of the House. It certainly is
the duty of the Opposition to takes
immediate stees to bring the Govern-
ment to account for &ease. of the
franldng system ,by some ,of its sup-
porters.
Thousands of copies of a paniphlet
have been circulated broadcast through
I
the maile by the Rowell- party of
three. ,Thm pamphlet is s printed on
expensive paper and has an experes
sive cover. It in entitled. One •Year
of IT/don Government; Addiese !of
Hon, N. W. Rowell at Bowinanville,
December 17th, 1918. This pamph-
let . has found E its Way chiefly Ito
women voters. It is a crafty and -dis-
• ingenuous speech, made in. reply to
the attacks upon the -author in the
House by Hon. Charles' Murphy.
These thousands of copies of. Mr.
-Rowell's speech have beert sent
throegh the mails free of charge.
• Has the country thus been defraud-
ed of stamp revenue by the - 03W of
the franking privileges accorded Min-
isters and members of Parliament?
The franks used in this case are ,"Ht
M., M.P." and "Je H., M.P." These
Mit-Ws axe understood to be the Parl-
• iamentary franks of Mr. . Herbert
Mowat and Mr. John Harold, ,who con-
•stitute Mr. Rowell's entire Parlia-
mentary following.
The. title given to the speech ap-
parently is hitended to convey the im-
pression ,that the pamphlet is a
Government publication, but it is no-
thing of that kind. It is -merely a
belated attempt to escape from the
tdea,dly effects of the exposure made
in theellouse last session by Hon.
"Charles Murphy, and to which Hon,
J. W. Rowell made no reply tn Parl-
iament where his accuser was mimed
with further ammunition which would
have completed the huiniliation of
the leader .of the Union brigade- thatfr
betrayed Laurier and Liberalism.
The pretence that there was some
rule or procedure to prevent.' Mr.
'Rowell from replying in the House
to the chargec so specifically made, a-
gainst him is pure fiction. On Mar.
19th, .1918, -when Mr, Murphy rose,
at six o'clock and caughe the speak-
er's eye, just before the adjournment
for dinner, Mr. Rowell was in his
seat. Therefore he knew that Mr.
Murphy would be the first speaker
when the House resumed its sitting
after eight o'clock the same even -
It was therefere his ditty to be
iia his seat when the House met af-
ter eight. But he had received scene
inkling of what 'was dealings and
while he was in the precincts of the
House of Commons on the evening
in question, could not pluck up cour-
ge enough to enter the chamber a-
gain. No one =dared reitly to Mr.
Murphy, nor would one of Row.ell's
colleagues pay him even, the small
tribute of moving the adjournment of
the debate. Concluding that the eas-
iest way out was the best, they al-
lowed the debate to- collapse..
•- The next day, Wednesday, March
20th, 1918, Mr. Rowell was in els seat
and spent . some time reeling Han-
sard. He could thee have risen en a
question of privilege and mede any,
defence that he was Ole to make.
But he never stirred. Again, on
Thursday, Meech 2 -1st, he was, in his
seat, and again he could have risen
and made his defence, but agatn he
remained silent. On the night, of
March 21st; 1918, he handed out a
statement to the press saying :that
his colleagues (who were rejoicing
over his political extinction) did not
think it was necessary for him to
make a reply to the Murphy charees
arid that, as he was sidk, he was .going
away to the south or a, rest His
• journey south did not take him far-
ther than the Clifton Inn, at Niagara
Falls, After enjoying the "South-
ern" dime of the Falls, he returned
to the House of COM1Y10/1S and, al-
though twice challenged by Mr. Mc-
Master and Mr. Bureau toreply° to
Mr. Murphy, he remained silent as
the Sphinx., ,
These facts have to be borne. le
mied in order' he properly appreciate
the peculiar psychology of Mr. New-
ton Wesley's Bewmanville speech in
December last. They are here set
out in detail, to that the Opposition
in Parliament may have them fet
use; when they Move for particulsten
about the 'defrauding of the resienue
