It reads just as well that way as any other. Th signature appsaring to the letter is, "A Conservativeâ€"Conâ€" setvative." It may be that the writer stutters, at least he may have an impediment in his mind. ‘There are people like on ell counts, Conservation aoes not mean letting everyâ€" thing go to rot..

Here are some of the Hansard samples:â€" A Member:â€"*"You‘re a poor sport." A Member:â€""Aw, shut up!" Mr. MaciInnis:â€""He has not the intelligence to take part in a debate." Miss Macphail:â€""Make yourownapeech!' Mr. Pactor:=â€""Let us have an autocratic form of governâ€" ment; let us have a leader, call him what you willâ€"dictator, sutocrat, or prime minister." Mr. Hepburn:~â€"â€""If the Prime Minister had another broâ€" therâ€"inâ€"law, the Honourable Howard Ferguson‘s job in Engzland as High Commissioner would not be long retained by that gentleman!" An Honourable Member:â€"‘"Turn on the gas!" Some Honourable Members:â€""Sit down." An Honourable Member:â€""Shut up!" _ Mr. Hepburn:â€""He reminds me of the reference made the other day to the Prime Minister being like one of the sultans cf old that when he clapped his hands, his janizaries jumped up to do his bidding." Any government that fails to realize the bitter resentment felt by the people in general in regard to the implications ‘of what is known as the Beauharnois scandal is sadly out of touch with the citizens of this country. It might also be noted that there is little fa,it.h in the efficilency of either narliamentary committees or royal commissions. These torms of investigation do little more than allow opportunity for the besmirching of the reptutations of decent public men ‘while the guilty appear less black because of the dirt they have cast at all around them. At the same time the public *ertainly wants action regard to"this Bexitharnois busi¢: ness, â€" The politicians who will let: this matter pass along without definite action will suffer in public estimation. To Mr. Hepburn:â€""There is another interruption from the hon. member from South Essexâ€"the Minister of Onions." "I think, Mr. Speaker, it would be well to take up a collecâ€" tion and supply you with some insect powder to spray the hon. zgentleman with.‘" ((Under freedom of speech as some want it, would it be desirable to allow Mr. Hepburn to say, "Gott, you‘re lousy!" ~ A Member: â€""You might remove that turbulent accident from South Essex." A Member:â€""One of the Prime Minister‘s thoughts would give him a headache." ;Mr. G;)tt:-“‘l‘he Liberals of Ontario ought to be proud of their leader." After reading the above it will be difficult for most reasonâ€" alble people to weep with a certain or uncertain Toronto newspmaiper because there is supposed to be some lack of freedom of speech in this country. Yet everybody may well feel like having a good oldâ€"fashioned cryâ€"to think that this is the sort of thing that goes on by the hour in the parliaâ€" ment of this Dominion. Freedom of speech! Alas, there appears to be a freedom ‘of speech ‘beyond all sense and reason. Not only has a man the right to say the thing he thinks, but he also appears to have takén the liberty of sayâ€" ing a lot of things without thinking at all. Tt is not more freedom of speech that is needed, but more sense and more regard for the interests of the country and the value of time and words. It is the proponents of cheap talk that howl for more free speech. The Advance at the first exposure of the Beauharnois deal | ‘here seemed to be only one thing to do and that was to| nave the whole affair threshed out in the regular courts of ‘he land. There seemed to be no reason why offenders in "he garbh of high finance should ‘be better used than comâ€" | nunists or others of disloyal action. The argument that the natter was too complicated for anything to be done without : yreliminary investigation by a committee or commission semed to have little real force. The intricate and high‘yâ€" technical devices of the stockâ€"brokerage business were dealt vith in effective way by officers of the ordinary branches C the ltaw and jJustice.

The feeling of the public seems to be that has been done and that the guillty ones, irrespective of party: or other standing, should be duly punished. The only proâ€" cedure for this would appear to be tha courts of the land. There is general regret thatâ€"the name of Hon. Howard: Forâ€" guson, former premier of Ontario, should be connected with the case. That is one of the evils of the mod# of procedure adopted. It allows opportunity for just that sort of asperâ€" sion on the character of public men. The suggestion made against the integrity of Hon. Mr. Ferguson has been donied by both Hon. Mr. Ferguson and by all others concerned. The one man who was supposed to have linked Hon. Mr. Ferguson with the‘ Beauharnois brands the sick Senator‘s story about it as a dream and without any foundation in fact. In the eyes of most people the former premier of this province will be considered as cleared of the charge now. But Hon. Mr. Ferguson is not the sort to bear with comâ€" plaisance so serious a charge against his integrity. He is coming to Canada to clear himseKf completely. Once beâ€" fore he showed the reekless that it was illâ€"luck to make false charges against him. It is to be hoped. that Hon. Mr. Ferguson will be able to force the case where it should have been beforeâ€"in the ordingry cqurts of the land, where the Innocent would have protection â€"of some sort and the guilty would at least be lHable to receive their dues. |â€" mewm. may have ended his life because"he ‘saw thcmdotthemwhm 'Ihell:wnandlmph-oevl- A Member:â€""If he had a headache, it would get loneâ€" CRAYEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER > m'm'mwhpmd to mtb army 'mem(mwtheammntdmeWs brotherâ€"inâ€"law aAs Canadian representative at Washington i.sparuwhrlymtflemdpueflle K is a position that is being well flled toâ€"day, with the greater part of the expense bornefiythemmdimammmlffmhkm private purse.
