Liberals In Power Stifled Every
Attempt Made To Investigate Their
Conduct Or Public ' Affairs.
"The Dominion Government bas
shown a creditable willingness to
investigation irregularities in con•
nection with the letting of Militia
ecntracte, There has been no gag
rule, no appeal to narrow con-
temptible technicalities in order to
prevent the production of evi-
dence."—Manitoba Free Press,
In these days, when the well organ-
ized invaginate of the lower class of
the Liberal press is working overtime
distorting facto and endeavouring
with industrious dishonesty to destroy
the reputation of the Government, the
fore -going tribute from the groat or-
gan of the Liberal party in the West
should be pondered well by the Cana-
dian people.
It will stand to the everlasting cred-
it of the Borden administration that
despite the efforts of certain individ-
uals to prove their own virtue by de-
crying that of others, it has stood four
square for the white light of the most
pitiless publicity, prepared to let the
great jury of the people judge of its
innocence or guilt, to stand or fall on
its record. Men do not commit for-
gery when the public is looking on.
Secrecy has ever been the hand -maid
of crime. And in the willingness of
the Borden administration to court
the fullest and fairest investigation.
there is opened a new chapter in the
story of political morality or immoral-
ity in this country.
Too Soon Forgutten.
Political memories are short. And
the public is liable to forget the foul
reoord of the Liberal Government in
stifling each and every attempt that
was made to drive out the parasites
from its rule of corruption and politi-
cal crime. For fifteen years this coun-
try was gagged, blinded and misruled.
The plainest rule of political hygiene
was violated, the very foundation of
democracy undermined, inasmuch as
the people were kept in abysmal dark-
ness concerning the operations of the
men to whom they had confided the
carrying on of government with all
that that word implies. G•aft is
bound to thrive in such measure as tee
public are not permitted to note what
is going on behind the scenes, and the
natural result of Leurier'a reign of
secrecy was fifteen years of political
criminology unparalleled in the whole
history of party crime.
Evaded Investigation.

gled to let in the light, but with

To Miss Lizzie Fleuty
Dear Friend and Fellow Worker:—
We take this opportunity, on behalf
of the Sunday School and the Angli-
can Young People's Association of
St. Paul's Church, . to express our
deep appreciation of your many years
of faithful service and our sincere
regret that you are soon to remove
from our midst.
We desire also to extend our earnest
wishes for your future happiness in
your new sphere of life, and we would
ask you to accept this tangible ex-
pression of our friendship for you
and your self-sacrificing efforts on
behalf of the welfare of St. Paul's.

That Labyrinthic By=law. .
In this week's issue of the Timer,
Chairman Currie of the Street Com-
mittee takes a silly, kiddish little fling
at the Advance Editor. This is fully
answered by the Times Editor. As
pointed out by the Time., the word
'maze' means a winding and turning,
etc„ etc.
At first we had the word 'labyrinth'
but after seeing some of the motions
that Billy writes at the Council Board,
which would make good merriment at
a moving picture house, we changed it
to 'maze' thinking he would under-
stand it.
Now this Berlin Traffic By-law is a
bad thingfor Wingham, Btit just stood
up like a little tin soldier and adopted
the Berlin By law almost in its entir-
ety. We have letter after leiter from
ourfarmer friends resenting it, butBitly
and a few others sa,-y, they dot,'t give
a --for the people. Ndw our bu)•inet s
men will just have to suffer what they
deserve as they took no in. crest in the
election last year.
Now we have neither the time,
space, or desire to quarrel with Billy.
He is a good fellow, but r)o wirer than
he thinks he is, and we would most
respectfully suggest that as t byre is
great dispute among the collet:Mere
theinselvee as to the meaning of this'
by-law, and binge the town ovens a
horse and wagonette that Chair man
Currie drive this outfir, (with the
other three members who railroaded
it through,) on July lit, immediately

ings and turnings in going from store

Early Monday morning, April 26.b,
a quiet wedding took place in St.

Lewis was solemnized by the rector

presence of the immediate relatives.
The bride Was brought in and given
in marriage by her brother, Mr

Collapse of The
Boot '.Scandal"
Liberals deserted their own Report and all
their efforts end in a fiasco
PARTIZANSHIP Vs. PATRIOTISM
The famous army boot "scandal" has collajised.
From the moment the first criticism of the Canadian boots was heard, the
Liberals in Parliament set out to find a scandal area to nurse it along to ma-
turity. They did not know tbat the boots were bad, but they were willing,
for a political purpose, to tell the world that the boots were bad, that the Can-
adian boot and shoe industry was in the hands of crooks, that the militia
system in Canada was not efficient, and that the equipment of the Canadian
army was rotten.
The allegations circulated by the Liberal Opposition were good news for
the enemies of the Dominion and good news for rival commercial interests in
other countries. That would have been bad enough had the allegations been
true. They were not true, have been proven to be untrue.
The Opposition in their hunger for political capital, were not willing to
wait for the facto. They were content to foul their own nest as Canadians,
and to do it on the basis of what has been shown to have been a lying rumor.
LIBERALS DESERTED THEIR OWN REPORT
From the nolee which these Liberals made. both before and during the
parliamentary investigation, it might have been expeeted that they would
have stood by the issue they bad raised. But they did not. They brought in
a minority report which was nct based upon the facto brought out in the in-
vestigation, which they knew to be contrary to those facts, and which they
dared not support by a record of their votes on a formal division of the House.
The fact is that so poor a case was presented in support of the minority
report that the Liberals dared not place theinselvee on record as subscribing
to it. The report was declared "lost on division", no yeas and nays being tak-
en or asked for, Even the mover of the minority report, Hon, Charles Mur-
phy, himself a member of the investigating committee, was discreet enough to
absent himself from the Chamber when the debate came to an end. Every
otber Liberal, with the exception of five, did the same thing, The five were
Hon. William Pugeley, F. B. Carvell, Edmund Prouix, Hon. Charles Marcil,
and Dr, Warnock. Of these only one man. Macdonald, had served on the
committee. Only one Liberal from Ontario, Proulx, was in the Chamber.
Never in the history of Parliament did a "scandal" flatten out so quickly
and so completely.
TOOK THE BREAD OUT Or THE MOUTHS OF THE WORKERS
As pointed out by Sir Robert Borden, the Opposition has sympathized
with an effort to discredit those engaged in the boot and shoe industry in
Canada. "Because I have not the slightest doubt," said Sir Robert Borden,
that statements which have been made in the press, even before this matter
could be thoroughly investigated, have led to the detriment of business con-
ditions in Canada and have deprived this country of contracts which it other-
wise would have obtained, and in that way have taken the bread out of the
mouths of Canadian workmen. That is a gory poor kind• of business for any
man in Canada to be engaged in, whether he is a member of the House or
not,"
The Prime Minister pointed out that the boot was selected by the late Ad-
ministration. He ridiculed and demolished the contention that it was only a
peace boot, that the Laurier Government proposed to equip soldiers who were
war soldiers with a peace boot when every other part of the equipment was
intended for war, and when, as argued by the Liberals, the boots were the
most essential part of the equipment. The Premier commented forcibly upon
the suppression by the Liberals in their report of any reference to the weath-
er conditions to which the boots were subjected at VaIcartier and at Salis-
bury Plain. "Their partsianship,' he said, "collided with their patriotism
and the latter was very quickly dissipated."

TUE WORK OF TIIE COMMITTiEE MOST EXIIAUSTIVE.
The Parliamentary Boot Committee's investigation was most exhaustive.
No fewer than 87 witnesses were examined under oath at the 51 sittings of the
Committee, The Government had insisted upon the fullest investigation and
the investigation had, in fact, been wide open.
This Committee appointed two experts to examine and report upon all the
boots which had been condemned. These experts were appointed unanimous-
ly. All the boots rejected by regimental boards and sent to Ottawa were ex-
amined with the following result :—
Nuumber of said condemned or discarded hoots forwarded and
examined, of which 381 were singles and (365 were pairs .. . . 1,713
Of these there were rendered useless by the soldiers burning them, 112
1,601
Of this, again, there were repairable boots to the number of, say1,448
Leaving unrepairable 153
Of these, again their unrepairable condition was due to the fol-
lowing causes:

While 63 had not originally been
being too light in the backs.
The Government records show that out of 86,000 boots issued to
and now in use by the soldiers in training in Canada since the war
began, only 7,867 have been condemned, or about 9 per cent. but apply-
ing the same average and teat to these boots as was found by the
experts so appointed by the Committee, it will show that out of these
total condemned hoots in Canada:
There are repairable 6.599
Mutilated by soldier by knife, spur or toe 819

equal to sample chiefly by reason of
Leaving only those rendered useless from other causes 379
13o that it is clear that the number of bad boots so far as can be
• ascertained is less than one-half of one per cent of three istuel.
One-half of one per cent of a "scandal," Small wonder then that the Op
position deserted the Chamber, leaving only five of the hardy ones to see the
end.
