These officials are not expected té discuss public ques- tions with public men, and to indi- rectly attack the statements of mem- bers of parliament. In so doing they have exposed themselves to fyr- ther, and perhaps bitter, attacks. A SCANDALOUS RECORD. The discoveries of the Davidson Commission, in the west, will estab- 'lish more clearly the reckless and unbusiness-like methods used by the Federal Government in its prepara- tions for the war., Granted that a great emergency came upon it, that there was not time in which to de- velop a perfect system of procedure, that many agents had to be employed for the purchase of remounts and fodder, the fact remains that some, if not all, ef the obnoxious results fol- lowed the use of the patronage sys- tem in the public service. The desire originally--and it is not clear that it has yet been aban- doned--was to. recognize Conserva- tive politicians as the agents through whom the wants of the Government ,; Were to be supplied. These ser- "i vants of the party acted perhaps as it was expected they should do in dis- tributing the patronage. The bili- ing 6Y the Government for grain that -4t did not receive at Regina, that was never delivered to it, is an -offence which the Davidson Commission pro- poses to deal with in the way it de- Serves. Fhe giving of many commissions to agents of the Government, some- times when they were not sought, is _ another despicable circumstance, and once which cannot be sufficiently reprobated. The recipients should have been above suspicion. They should have flung in the faces of (h« givers their petty and contempiini 'bribes. The fact that these br Were not spurned is a suspicious oi; cumstance. The whole record of Government transactions, in the east and in the west, in connection with the horses and the fodder and other things, is rotten and a scandal of the most por- tentous character. ------------ WHAT THEY DESERVE. An unparalleled jnfamy is t of _ the men who'have béem captured in New York city through the excellent work of its detectives. Explosions have occurred at sea, on steamships carrying munitions to Britain, and - under circumstances that have led to the conclusion that they were the 'Work of some fiendish individuals. The explosives could only be secretly stored aboard, however, with the # criminal knowledge, if not he crimi- nal participation, 8 members of the crew. ; > The confession of Fay, the chief German conspirator, is a revelation which astonishes the world. . The United States has not yielded fo the demands of the Triple Alliance and forbidden the exportation of muni Sons to Britain. Df. Dumba"s re- hitherto condemned. There is a peculiar inappropriate | ness in the attitude of the }V. C. T. | U. under the circumstances. Cigar- | | ette smoking may represent ordinar- | | ily a-milder form of evil. All smok- | ing is a habit which can be dispensed | with. But a smoker can. be toler-| {ated and his offence condoned when la cigarette or a pipe brings solace to] him at, the front. The men who | are either in the trenches, or in the! hospitals, appreciate the pipe or al cigargtte, and the comfort of it. is| not to be denied. Moreover the W. C. T. U. hurts| the Re@ Cross Society' needfessly by assuming that the money given to it for the relief of the soldiers and sailors is spent to any extent or in any proportion on tebacco or cigar ettes, Money aplenty is being ex- pended on the "weed,"" but it is the money which is contributed for the purpose by the Over Seas and other Clubs and by the friends of the sol- diers and sailors. No part of the millions which has been contributed to the Red Cross Society is being used for any purpose outside of that set forth in the consjitution of the Society. The W. C. T. U. has, therefore, tc atone for the injury it has done to the greater organization in casting a reflection upon its work, and to withdraw the resolution which it passed so unkindly and without the enquiry which would have guarded aginst its publication. EDITRIAL NOTES. Fort William never was so busy as it has been this fall in the ship- ment of grain. True, a lot of this is going via Buffalo and the Erie Ca- nal to New York, there to be shipped to Britain, The diversion of trade from Canada may be due to a shert- age of grain-carrying vessels. Sir Wilfrid Laurier'is going south for a season in order to recuperate his health. He has had a confer- ence with the Liberal leaders. ' The course has been marked out for the next session of parliament, The truce of war. will still be observed, hut no one will be tongue-tied in his liscussion of important questions. Another Royal Commisison is at work in Winnipeg, and already it has developed the fact that the high tenderer got the contract for the new Court House. This tenderer, in turn, farmed out the work to the low- ed $128,133. This is political job- bery of the rankest kind. Von Bissing, the German Governor of Belgium, suspects that there are spies in the camp. | He bases his opinion upon the discovery of Ger- man plans to the'enémy." "He should recall the story of the King of Syria and Elisha. Perhaps there is a pro- phet in the land who reads the thoughts of the Germans even in their secret places. ---- The Chicago Scottish-American says the Britains are always calm in a crisis. Not always, friend! Some- times they are excitable ehough. Some of them are inclined to be pan- icky. A few of them, of the,North- cliffe type, act as if they had lost their senses.

The nominations for of fices were made on Tuesday. President Moxley of the Agscula- pian Society proposes to digpense with the dinner this year, and turn over to Dean Connell the money that would be spent on the dinner for the support of Queen's Hospital in Cairo. The Athletic Committee is greatly concerned about the money it will need this year. The first claim is the instalment on the gymnasium mortgage and interest, amounting to $1,040. The Alma Mater Society has ap- pointed J. Gilchrist as president, and E. Corkill as vice-president for the rest of the term 'to fill vacancies. ros Sleepytime Tales FLUFF'S DREAM. Once upon a time Fluff, the cat, went into the library and went fast asleep on the desk, She had been told many times not to get up on the desk but she didn't care. As she lay there she dreamed of a din- ner of mice and was having a great | time reaching out her paw and "cat- ching one whenever she was hungry. Then her tail began to twist and wave and when she suddenly woke her tail was all covered with ink and very wet. Fluff stretched herself and crawled across the desk leaving a black streak all over the letter her mistress had been writing when she was called out. Fuff went to the couch and curled up on a nice new sofa pillow her mistress had just made. So there was a big black smooch all over the new pillow. When her mistress returned she saw the black streaks and knew right away ¢bat' Fuff had disobeyed ----- her, =o she went to find the cat, Fluff meanwhile found that she didn't have anymore nice dreams about mice, so she got up and started for the kitchen to see what the cook had nice to eat. When she heard her mistress' voice calling her, however, she ran) into the library, for her constience troubled her and she knew she had disobeyed by getting up on to the desk. Her mistress hunted until she fo, Fluff in the library, took one 1d0k at her tail and exclaimed: "Look at Fluff's tail. She has been on the desk again and has spoiled my letter and my nice new cushion. I shall have to punish her severely" Fluff didn't get any supper that night as a punishment and hai to stay ii' the cellar for two days and, as she couldn't find any mice, even down there, she was a very sorry cat, and vowed she would never go up on that old desk again.
