The mid- dleman is favored by the Borden. Government's high tar- iff. Everything the people eat or wear has been increased .in price and decreased in quality. All the trafic will bear' and then add fifty per cent. on account of the war-- that is what the Borden Govern- ment's let-well-enough-alone policy has brought to us, The food inspec- tion in this country is a joke. Cold storage, which promised to become a blessing, has become a curse. Such a thing as a cheap, well-made shoe is no longer to be found in Canada. Su- gar has' advanced seventy-five per cent. Milk is nine cents a quart and blue at that. Coal has been jogged up fifty cents a ton on the pretext of a railway strike in the United States, which did not come off, Premier Borden is Canada's "sil- ent son' all right. He remains sil- ent while the people pay through the nose for the necessaries of life in order to enrich the beneficiaries of the Borden trade policies. To make matters worse, the Borden Govern- ment refuses to let 'the Northwest make Canada righ by allowing farm- ers there to sell their wheat ina free market, which would bring them ten cents more a bushel. So far as one can see frqm this corner, all Canada can expect from the Borden Govern- ment is higher taxes and greater trade restrictions.

J these things'are happening lends col- or to the doubt whether he will be the sttong man for the Conservatives at the next general election.

'because Sir Robert must be tired of playing second fiddle ,as he has done ever since he became prem- fer in 1911. One word from him and that Cabipet of his does as it pleases such is the discipline he exercises. Next .comes the Hon. Bob Rogers. He is known as the Minister of Elec- tions and certainly the elections need a great deal. of Ministering if the Conservative défeats in various parts of the country are any' sign They need ministering of a kind that the Hon. Bob. is not able to give them. What 'the glections need is a policy that will give the common people a chance, but is that is the last thing the Borden Government wants to de the Honourable Bob must have re- course to his old arts which are now outworn Even at that the Honour- able Fob is said to be more in touch with the people than is Premier Bor- den, because the West has a way of stating grievances in good set terms which the Honourable Bob can hardly avold hearing. Strange though it may geem the Honourable Bob is a bette¥ bet as a strong man than Sir Robert. At least he has the cour- age of his convictions--said eonvic- tions at present centering around Tom Kelly and the three Manitoba cabinet ministers. Just now the Hondurable Bob is engaged in adding perhaps teg millions to Canada's prospective national debt of a billion dollars by giving us an entirely, new Parliament Building at Qttawa, where the old one might have been done over. But this, as we have said before, was only to be expected, The Hon. Bob as Minister of Public Works, with most of the public works held up, is under eclipse to Sir Sam as Minister of Militia with the great- est war in history on his hands. Sir Sam can't be allowed to spend all the money. The Honourable Bob must do his bit too. If strong-arm work makes a strong man, then the Honourable Bob's heroic measures in regard to the new Parliament BuildTng at Ottawa entitles him to a proud place. 8ir Thomas White is mentioned as the possible strong man, but the ob- jection is raised that he ought to take a longer time to graduate as a Con- servative. He "as done very well so far, but his best friends admit that it would be crowding the mourners to push him along so fast over the griz- zled heads of the faithsul party fol- lowers who 'were ignored when he expefienced conversion and was tak- en into the Cabinet. Sir Thomas will have to do pennance for a few years longer. The party wants to make | sure thatvhe won't be a backslider. Besides Sir Thomas is not as strong as he was with the Canadian leaders of finance before he made it an Am- erican loan instead of a Canadian one, Of course there is always Sir Sam. What about running him as a khaki hero with orange trimmings and let it go at that? Sir Sam is doing a little publicity work in England right now, with the aid of Sir Max Aitken, who, when he is not eyewitnessing Sir Sam's triumphs. is committing merger or something like that. Sir Sam is a siyong man---that is to say his friendship with the late Honorary Colonel John Wesley Allison: gives out a strong smell. --H. F. GADSBY. ly mn MR.
