F. D during his last illness to show ill health was not the reason for retirement from public life. Le Voir says: Two of the former colleagues of Mr. Monk have judged it apropos to recall the memory of the deceased, one in order to justify his acceptance of. a part (for it was not considered condign to confide to him the whole) of the heritage of the dead minister; the other, in order {0 make apdlo gies for not having followed his in his retirement. On Saturday we, Mr. Nantel, made Intter of the late minister to Hon. Mr. Borden and we eg] the testimony of the deceased as con tained in a letter which he wrota a! month later to Dr. Lalonde. From | these communications, it is made ap la parent that though in a weak candi-f n tion of health, the Hon. Mr. Monk did not wish to invoke 'this cause in| order to cloak his retirement; he in sisted on pointing out that such a« tion on his part was (oufded on clearly political motives. Mr. Raoul Carignan, of one of the most devoted friends of Mr. Monk, transmits to us an auto grap letter from the late: minister dated the "Day of the Epiphany," 1913, three months after his resigna- | Devoir Monk that his De: an himself, also « for Lachine, an {ho mn tion, which shows what he thought, | Mr. and | re of his retirement of the manner in which was ceived by the public generally Of this letter we take pleasure in citing the. principal parts. It reads as follows: at that time, be Montreal, 28 Lagauchetiere Fou st of the Epiphany My Dear Raoul: 1 hasten to make kind missive of the which I assure you, pleasure 1 know that my conduct has appreciated and judged in mu!tifari ous ways. We at present are living In an era in which personal interest and egotism are the paramount con siderations, but despite' the numer ous criticisms of which I have been made the subject, I do not" regre having sent in my resignation. The future will fully justify my action and I venture to assert that this fu ture is not far distant Be assured that I judging others; each case be examined separately: but as far as | am concerned, I, who have so loudly proclaimed, both in parliament and elsewhere, the absolute right of -the people to ba, itself, the judge of just what : participation it would take ia the activities, the life and the wars of the empire, there was but one course to take; this course I took and I'am glad that I did take it; my tru Friends have shown that my action this regard was appreciated; thi: sufficient for me. In this young country of our, it high tine that we should conduc ourselvey in political life as we con duct ourselves in the relations of pri vate life--that is to say, with hone: ty and straightforwardness, Our publie life is rotten, overrid- den /with gangerene, disgraceful; reaction is required. But enough of these thoughts, Were we to con tinge, we would do so indefinitely Le Devoir adds:-- "We will ad nothing to the above, unless it he state that the man, who penned th sentiments contained in the letter, was in such dire condition of healt. that he could not leave his room But, no more in this than in his le ters to Dr. Lalonde or to Premier Borden, did the writer attempt | point to his feeble state of health, the cause of his retirement.
