To States, for er Te buted Siew Saree Dailv Whig OUR LOVING FRIENDS, The most charmingly ingehuous and affectionate article read in Kingston in many 8 day appeared in last evening's conservative journal, which in ite misrepresentation of the liberal dinate in false charges and assump- tions had but two weeks before es tablished , legitimate succession of the The atmosphere has marvellously changed. It is not can News. » {three weeks since men who have been associgtes of Mr. Pense for years in a hundred private public and church activities, including wholesale mer- chants, lawyers, and doctors, would not permit him to reply in peace, as was his right for ten minutes, to his opponent's bitter personal attack. The hoots, boo-boos and insults were be- gun by the representative etonserva+ tives of Kingston, seatell on the plat- form, as indecent an exhibition as the city has ever seen, but which had been repeated by 'we party of gentle men' at three preceding nominations. The liberals, on the last as on pre- ceding occasions, gave no ground of offence save that they were in the way of these gentlemen are "se sorry it was Pense that was defeated--it was for the party, you know." Liberal workers, 'who could not be passed by rivals without conservative aspirations. Now their. conservative a frown or a jeer, are being met and gl- most lovingly embraced. It is all very strange to them until they reflect that the conservatives have a very guilty conscience on the protest question, as to their charity towards Mr. Pense in that very line, and respecting their bribery performances, which have "'out:-Heroded Herod." The editor of the Standard feels that if he had been here in 1905 he would have opposed the Mclutyre pro- test. That argument. is vaporous moonshine. The consdrvative organ would have, as usual, Melved in for all it was worth, before and after the and all through the subsequent election. 'There is nothing in its re- cent course to encourage, in the slight- 6.1, its rise above the level of the bitterest partizanship, in which King stof has had, for hall a century, a distinguished, if not tne leading, Can- adian place. There is no precedent in local polities for a representative con- servative rising above his party and fair-play aod friendly consideration. For the bye-electiom of 1906 almost every leading conserva: tive, nearly all persons receiving asy- lum patronage or holding a license gave a contribution to the tory fund, and every worker did his very best. They did not reason over the fair- conditions of the preceding fight, the ungenerous side of their action. They had their opponents at a dis- advantage from the possession of the government and its attractions to city constituencies. 'I'he bribery ar- rangement alone saved the liberal can- didate from expulsion from the House, an arrangement that the conserva tives refused to repew last month be- cause they know they were going to deluge the sub-divisions with money. Before Pense and Melntyre were nominated in 1904, W. F; Nickle pre- dicted a Whitney triumph, to be fol- lowed by a protest against My. Pense if elected. On the day following the election, before members of his fam- ily, he assured the latter that they (the conservatives) had done their very worst and that conditions had been so well balanced there would be no protest. Yet he was one of the zealous planners throughout the pro- test, and his manner of czoss-exam- ination was the least forgettable ele- ment of the trial. Now the paper he owns in part, for which he was chiefly instrumental in purchase nego- tiations, is all swee and light, love and . benediction. 1t would be more respected had it refrained from party with the veil of recent trial, proclaiming or covering its hypocrisy. The protest against liberals was based, in public utterances, upon lofty motives. 1f they were in order them, these impulses are called for now ten was wide open and Nickle men were treat: ing all day long, a doubly illegal act; THE WHIG, 75th , YEAR '{sufirage movement among the so | will beiseen of the Hyde park demon- THE PATH OF DUTY. "The choies of Mr. Taft by the re publicans for the presidency of the United States #is according to the eternal fitness of things. J8 may scem absurd, but it is declared to be a truth nevertheless, that this big genial, eapable man has never been a self seeker, that all the honors that {have coms to him are rewards for duty well done. The calls from ome place to shother, from a lower to a higher, have followed his qualifica- tion for the change. He is like his prototype in dhis re spect, but be differs in manner and method. Taft will not be as talka- tive as Roosevelt or as demonstrative, but he will be judicial in his treat. ment of public questions, and when he gives a decision it will be founded on justice and equity. He is the legiti timate successor of the virile Mr. Roosevelt, because he has shared with the president in his plans, policies and ideals, with regard to national gov- ernment, dhe big stick may not be quits so much in evidence, but the big figure will be there, representing a dogility and determination in char- acter so seldom conspicuous in the one individual. Mr. Taft is in the prime of life. Next September he will be fifty-one, He has been devoted to the practice of the law, and has been a judge in Cincinnati on two occasions, As _solici- tor-general he served under the Har- rison government. If he had any am- bition it was to become a judge of the supreme court, but President McKin- ley sent him to the Philippines to President Roosevelt called him home to supervisy the war department. He accepted every call to office as a mat- ter of duty, and Roosevelt put a whole chapter inwa few words when he said, "Taft is. the biggest going concerw in the country." Everything noble and worthy Nis conspiring to make the secretary of war the next president of the United States, and he is simply accepting the duty that is laid upon him, amd us- ing, in the interest of the country, his splendigd 'mental equipment and]: experience in a very satisfactory way. He deserves the honor, the highest the people can confer, for the service he has already given the nation in many irked capacities. C Saturday Night expresses the gene- [\ ral feeling that Mr. Whitney would have been better off with a majority of twenty-five. "A few ambjtious men among his followers, uniting in a cause," says our contemporary, 'can prove more formidable and dan- gerous than' the opposition,' which is true, as Mr. Whitney may live to learn. ASSERTING THEMSELVES. There is a difference of opinion to the attitude of the imperial ol as gov- movement. silly women has been enough to make the government resist the demand with a relentless hatred, and the alleged "surrender" of the premier is a mys- a deved ? His anpouncement in the commons, following the Manchester election, was simply that in the re- vision of the election law. the gov- ernment would not oppose the pro- posal to give the women votes. Mr, Asquith is not committed to the proposition." Neither is any of his colleagues. The movement has gained in im- petuosity through the fact that many of the better class of women have en- gaged in it, the educated, the socially influential, the attractive, in manner and dress. It has lost in popularity through the excesses of some persors. These resorted to despicable means in order to challenge public attention, became , nuisance at public meetings by their disturbances, and invited the ignominy of arrest without a reasom. So far have they gone in their ag- gressiveness that there has been a re- flex action, and the National Wo: man's Anti-Suffrage Association is the |; result: Tt is a powerful organization which aims at counteracting the ef- sence its members say that the place of the women is in the home, and that 'the men can be safely left to the @ ir political rights, with all ¢ responsibilities which these rights imply. There is a strong opposition to the ialists, the 14k ites, the 3 4 and liberals. The unionists are asked to make it a party question, and to resist it with the solid' force of the party. The party in power is prob- ably as much against the extengion of the franchise as the party which is out of power.

The Canadian editor of Collier's is not just im his criticism of the late provincial election. He says the deci: sion of the electors, among other things, means "'that the liberals were unwise io pin their faith to an un: popular leader, with a policy mostly consisting of two spots.™ The liberals have no apology to of- fer for their choice of a leader ip He may be young and in- experienced, when his service is coni- pared with that of some men on the government side of the house, but he i® not unpopular.

N, R, guarantee and the La Rose Mining deal, though these were con- spicuous in the discussions every- where. The public ownership pro- gramme, the talk of cheap power and the gerrymander, had a good deal to do with the result of the election. Collier's refers to two of these, but it:ignores the gerrmander, and it will be found eventually that it more than anything else, (excepting boodle), had to do with the stituencics, EDITORIAL NOTES.
