EDITORIAL PARAORAPHS. of the affair.
The members of the opposition •on
the Committee called. for all the
papers in connection with this tran-
saction, These were at once produced
and laid before the eommittee. Mr,
Taylor was called to give evidence and
to explain the item. Ib appears that
in 1005, the Government entered into
a contract with Taylor & Co. to utilize
the labor of the prisoners at the Cen-
trig Prison.-Titylor to pay four cents
per hour, and to be supplied with
power 80011 afterwards, owing to the
establiehmeet of the prison farm at
Gnelph, the Government was unable
to furnish. the rermired amount of
labor, and Teylor & Cos began to claim
damages. When the contract expir-
ed in 1010, Taylor etill primed his
claim for settlement, claiming $50,000
damages, Not being able to secure a
settlement, Taylor applied for a fiat
(that is the right to sue the Crown)
and this WaS granted by the Attorney
General' e Department. Before, how-
ever, the case cam 6 for trial it was
decided at the suggestion of Mr, 1'10
Naught M. P. P, to sabmit the clues
-
tion to arbitration, Some time pre-
vious to this the Govertament in order
to have its case ready, engaged L. C.
Thorne, an expert accountant to pre-
pare its case, Mr. Thorne had been in
the employ of the Government some
time before and was fully acquainted
with all the circumstances surround-
ing the contract.. Me, Taylor named
Thorne as his arbitrator, and the gov
ernnaent being satisfied with this,
Thorne was made sole arbitrator. (1)
As Thorne was already familiar with
the accounts, from beieg in I he govern-
ment employ, (2) haeiug been already
preparing tbe government case, he
naecle his reward in a few days, awaid-
ing Taylor & Ca, not $50,000 as claim-
ed but $21068. This amount wets paid
by the government.. All the above
facts came out in the public accounts
committee, where all parties were ex-
amined under oath. Taylor refusecl
to answer two queations. L Had he
threatened any of the ministers ?
2 Had he cOntributed to the Conserv-
ative campaign fund ? As the com-
mittee had fully investigated the
matter, and as Thorne swore he had
made his award honestly and had not
been influenced by either Teylor or
the government, it was not. considered
necessary to proceed farther, Mr,
Ploudfoot brought the matter up in
the house, and Sir James Whitney
stated that not being a member of tbe
committee be was 'not familiar with
what had been done, but that he
would give his agswer at the next sit-
ting of the House. At the next sisting,
Sir James stated that in 1907 Taylor
had contributed $500 to the conserva-
tive funds, that the Eton. Mr, Hanna
had indiscreetly accepted the same,
that the money had been hoeestly
spent. Here the matter ended for the
day.
It now appears that Thorne being
dissatisfied vsith the sum paid him
as arbitratoe, wrote to his friend
ISIarsonville, a dismissed employee of
the government, a letter giving a very
highly colored view of all the proceed-
ings:. This letter, Marsonville placed
in the hands of the opposition,
and upon what it contained, Mr:
Proudfoot based his charges, These
are two in number. (I) That Her
Mr, Hanna and Sir james Whitnts
corrtiptlyand improperly gran ed
a fist to Taylor, (2) That the same
two ministers corruptly and improper-
ly granted an arbitration, or ire other
word' that Teylor by tlereats of ex-
poztare had cnnapelled the istaie of a
fiat and then compelled them to sub-
mit to arbitration, These two charges
were referred to the committee on
priveleges and. eleetions,
-Senate Reform should be a winner
at the next electione. '
* *
-The Senate of Canada is tired of
life. It wants to be abolished and
thinks that by killing the naval hill
abolition will follow, They may be
right, at that.
* * *
-Mr. Geo. Ress proclaims that hs.
is an ineperialist and in the same
breath moves to kill the grew est,
measure for the good of the Empire
ever proposed in 0aoada.
* * *
-No wonder though Sir Wilfrid is
angry at the Netionalists. Their lead-
er, Mr. Bourassa, is now revealing in
his newspapete Le Devoir, the fran-
port and. sympathy of his followers in
the House.
* *
-Sir George Ross, the Liberal leader
in the Senate, saw immense possibil-
ities for graft in the Highways hill!
Having headed the most corrupt pro-
vincial government in the Dominion,
Sir George may be regarded as an ex-
pert in the graft line.
* s *
-The man who now wishes to impose
his will upon the Canadian people
was rejected by the people at the last
elections. It is difficult for Laurier to
believe that he is now on the front
seat of the Canadian chariot, holding
the reins of power.
* * *
-Laurier, the martyr of yesterday,
is the Separatist of to -day. He believes
that we owe nothing to the mother-
land for her faithful protection in the
past, and that Canada can best fulfil
her destiny by dropping "like the ripe
fruit from the parent tree."
• * *
-The people are merely waiting for
a chance to slaw Laurier, and his hand
of Separatists, what they think of the
anti-British policy which has been
preached from the housetops of late.
Oana,dians wet e never more thorough-
ly British than they are to -day,
*
-And Sir George it3S9 declares that
he is not concerned to the extent of a
brass farthing in the political eituation
in the House of COM03.01113 and forth-
with proceeds to do the work assigned
to him by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the
rest of the anti-British obstructionists,
* * *
-Ottatva despatches sa.y that when
Sir George Ross was moving the de.
struction of the naval bill, Sir Wil-
lrid was there, a careful listener.
Evidently Sir Wilfrid wanted to make
sere that nothing went wrong in tbe
carrying out of the plot against the
0
majority of the Canadian people,

•,With tip record of felfilled pro-
mises, the Borden Government is
bringing its second session of nadir!,
Merit to a close in business like and

Subsequetitly, Mr. Proudfoot was
celled to state under oath what he
kuew of the matter but when handed
the bible he refused to take the oath,
showing that whilst he might make
etatements, yet he was afrald to be
swarm Not one tittle of evidence
was adduced to conneot Sir janaes
Whitney in any way, neither was
there anything against Ron, Mr.
Hanna, but the acceptauce of $500
from Taylor which Sir James adinitted
in the Hoose. When the ballot box
in No. a Colborne was tampered with,
when Capt, Sullivan debauched the
Electors of West Huron, William
Proudfoot was Secretary of the Lib-
eral Association, yet we never heard
of any protest against these rascalitiee.
He and his leader Mr. Rowel defended
to the last the corrupt Ross administra-
tion, and it is not from any desire of
purity but partizan advantage that
now urges them on,

Frotn the Address of Canada's
Premier, Hon. Robert Laird
Borden at Toronto.
"These two ideals are before the
Canadian people, Tlaey are undoubt-
edly divergent. One points to the full
assumption of nationality within this
Empire. The other points •first to
neutrality and then to independence.
I do not doubt what the verdict of the
Oamedian people thereon will be."
"Confronted with a dreary and
impenetrable jungle of vain and un-
profitable verbiage which obstucted
our progress in the business of the
country, we cut a path through it by
the only means available."
"The Senate is an important part
of our Constitutional machinery and
is entitled to every respect, but it is
not, never has and never will be above
the Canadian people,"
"In 1902, in 1907 and in 1911 at any
and every Imperial Conference he (Sir
Wilfrid Laurier) has maintained the
same recalcitrant and reactionary at-
titude against every proposal for co-
operation by this Dominion to the
common defence of our Umpire."
"The policy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
means one result, and one result only,
the severance of every tie that binds
this Dominion to the Empire."
Mr. Cartwright, Deputy Attorney
General, a life-long Liberal swore
that the fit had been applied for by
Taylor's solicitor, also a Liberal, and
had been granted in the usual course
of business, that he 114d COMMUrliCa.

The Late John McCracken.
The passing of Mr. John Ma..3racken,
who died at the advanced age of 78
years on the 28.1 day of May, removes
another of the highly esteemed and
sturdy pioneers of Morris township.
The late Mr. McCracken was born in
the county of Donegal, Ireland, and.
came with his parents to this country
when a mere child. The family settled
in York County near whet is now the
city of Toronto and remained there
engaged in farming until after the
Crimean War when they, with many
other, proceeded westward as the tide
of emigration was then fleWing. Mr.
McCracken's father, the late James
McOraeken, purchased a farm on the
4th con. of Morris where a family of
eight was reared, foor sons and four
danghters. The old homestead being
still in the possession of William Mc -
Crockett, John acquired his own farm,
one of 40 acres on the boundary line
of Morris and Turnberry, known as
the Dinevale Road. The land had
been formerly qakert up and A, few
acres cleared, but the country around
wet practically a wilderness. The
deceased experienced all hardships,
sacrifices and disadvantages of a
pioneer but as a result of his thrift
and tell and the aid of his devoted
helpmate, formerly Miss Sat ah Partly,
of Middlesex County, the farm was
pleated and the comforts ahd luxuries
of a home for them and their family
were aequired, About twelve years
ago he retired from the farm and re-
moved to Wingharn vhere he resided
until hie death, Thre,e brothers and
two sisters still survive Mr, McCrack-
en, The surviving family consistof
five daughters and. three sons -Mrs.
