Doherty, Minister of Justice, and one of the Roman Catholic members of the Cabinet, wax a novlee In the college at the time of the visit of the military po- lice, and Roman Catholics see In the whole unfortunate affair "nothing but a conspiracy to hold in contempt the Jesuit Order in Canada," to quote the words of Hon. Rodolphe Lem- ieux. In the course of his argument, Oen. Hughes charged that the Jeauits In authority at the Novitiate assumed the attitude that "we are above the law„” and resisted Capt MacAulay, the officer in charge of the eleven military policemen who carried out the raid. Sir Sam alleged that the Depart- ment of Justice ordered the press of the country to maintain silence, and that the order could be reared to Hon. Kr. Doherty himself. The whole thing wax to be hushed up, and Capt. MacAulay was rapped over the An- gers for his unseemly conduct and "shipped to Winnipeg in disgrace." The Military Service Act, Sir Sam de- clared. ♦ clared. was "not administered equit- ably," and the favoritism which was shown "bred a *plait of rebellion." In his opinion, "the Intolerance was all on the part of the Novitiate," and the young Jesuit novices were hold- ing back when "our men were beteg pounded by the Hun and driven back from St. Quentin."

If one large hospital were estab- lished it might be considered necessary to maintain also one or two of the smaller ones and the cost to the county would be much increased without. perhaps, adding much w the efficiency of the work done. If each of the three hospitals already established were made memorial hospitals andolarger a yearlygrants sin ere t ven by the the county, perhaps people would be served. This plan has a good deal to commend it, as compared with the proposal to establish one memorial hospital with a, large county grant. Setting aside the difficulty of locating the one hospita. so that it would serve the needs of the whole county, there is the financial question. if a large hospital were established in any one town• under county auspices. its maintenance would c r-;itute a heavy financial burden upon both the county and the town. paesuming that the county; would not undertake) to establish and maintain it in perpetuity. With smaller hospitals distributed about the county, local assistance would be greater and the burden of maintenance bein; distributed would be more easily borne.
