capital is- thai the Borden Government doesnt want an election particularly but is resigned lo have one come It realizes that lo ask for further extension would be crowding the mourners The Borden Government has been thinking more or less of a general election ever since the war started- In hud the pamphlets all ready Borden Backs Britain and a few touches like thai but was scared off the nest by the money magnates who said brook no such thing at a time so perilous The Government held breath did not change its mind It was still of the opinion that a general election was what was needed in their business and Hon went so far as lo dis cover Ihe voice of thunder with which the people were demand ing it However it was only stage thunder and Ihe election did not come off though the Gov ernment made special prepara tions for it in the shape of a Voles for Soldier Act which was to take care of the army at home a no abroad One remembers lb what ardor Premier Borden at lhat championed the Voles for Soldiers Bill which he said was to enable Ihe who fought for Canada lo exercise the second highest privilege of his citizen ship namely to vote for it Premier Borden calculated that when the soldiers voted for Can ada they would vote for the Bor den Government and under that impression ballots were printed and sent across the ocean lo the High Commissioner in London in whose office they remain stacked lo this day It was no surprise when Pre mier Borden at the last session of Parliament recanted all be had said about votes for soldiers He took the ground that voles for soldiers were impossible because the soldiers were scattered all over the map and thai besides it was an impertinence to ask them to intermit their high killing the Germans for anything so trivial comparatively as a gen eral election Plainly something had happened lo change Premier Bordens mind Not lo make a long of il Ihe things that had happened and which had come to Ihe soldiers ears and had luckin crops were these Sir Sam Hughes Lieutenant Col John Wesley Allison Paper Shoes Foundered Horses Profiteering Camp Borden Hosg Biflo High Cost of Living for Soldiers Fam ilies at Home Separation Allow ances and Assigned Pay Soaked up by Ihe Governments Friends the Cold Storage Kings and other things too numerous to mention In short Premier Borden be- to suspect bat Ibe soldier vole was agin him and when the British Columbia soldiers put the hoots to the Bowser outfit as soon got the chance Pre mier Borden was confirmed in bis auspicious Premier Borden may lie a little thick but he doesnt need more than one house lo fall on him before he tumbles Be sides the t British Government told him would be mat- for to lake the soldiers vole any way and Premier Borden was very glad to agree with them So in Ibe Borden Govern was in a chastened frame of mind so chastened that it forgot all its for a general election and willingly took what the people gave them namely an extension to October They took it because it was all they could get They knew it was heir last chance Some was made thai they would CAS converted a Conservative major ity of majori ty of This was in Ju ly smell the crowd has not been laid yet The next Prince Edward Island a Conservative majority of 10 That election look place in September andit was enough to hold the Bprden Government for that year The year was a horrible one for the Borden Government It got three wallops in rapid succession Quebec had a gen eral election which increased its Liberal majority In Legisla ture from to Nova Sco followed suit and showed its confidence In a Liberal Govern ment which had been in the sad dle for 35 year by raising its majority from These blows were probably expected but when British Columbia took rotten crowd in baud and turned a Conservative majority of into a Liberal one of the Borden Government felt- III at the end was in sight At any rale lhat was all want ed for Early in 1917 only last month in fact came perhaps the worst facer of all New Brunswick which had a Conservative Gov ernment a majority of and about as many scandals threw the scandals out with such force lhat a landslide took place The Liberal Government in that fortunate province now has a ma jority of six and New Brunswick goes on Premier Bordens black list The victory under Provi dence is largely due lo Mm moral force and lighting quality of J who is as vigorous a crusader in his own province as lie is at Ottawa New Bruns wick is the blow that almost kill ed father is Ihe final proof to Premier Borden and his col leagues lhat the majority expected in the Maritime Prov inces has gone glimmering Thus Premier Borden who bad at bis back when he came into office five provinces with Con servative administration now has only two Evidently the rapids are near and the daylight is past Add Id Ibis the fact lhat Con servative papers in the Northwest are beginning to advertise their independence and one under stands Premier Borden has that haunted look Meanwhile the Government is gelling ready to meet ils fate with a good front To do this a little windowdressing has lo be done The firsl effort along this line was firing Sir Sam after lie bad done his worst Tho tiling was the registration cards questions instead of a straight answer lo the volunteer problem The next thing was Ihe application of a dehorned Militia Act to coax fifty thousand cau tious souls into a Home Guard guaranteed to conflict with noth ing more hostile than the Esquk maux or the hyphenated Ameri cans not conscription you know but a safe substitute The next thing was to cancel the Ross rifle contract and expro priate the factory thus throwing 2000 men out of employment af ter they had been kept working two years and a half on a rifle the British authorities refused to make use of on the battlefield Incidentally some seven or eight million dollars was wasted in Ihis way before government made up mind lo slop the expense at a chosen with a view to doing Ibe least harm to the shareholders and- making the most of it as a Campaign argu ment The rifle reported against tinkered with reported against again but stilt thrust on our soldiers Until Ihe British Generals absolutely look out of their hands and substituted the field is one of the most shameful of many stains on the Borden Government The last bit of windowdress ing is perhaps the boldest after wailing months Postmaster Genera volunteers for oversees service Bui the Gov ernment will not take advantage of his impulsiveness He is not lo be sent overseas where the
