The Hon. F. C. Biggs is finding that being Minister of Public Works Is a far different position than thac of a breeder of high grade Holsteins, He is finding out that there are many things which a private citizen can do with impunity that cannot be dome by a man in a position such as he oc- cupies, While the moter truck deal has not been completely threshed out, there has been sufficient evidence presented in the case to bring down criticism on the minister. He may not have accepted the gift of three thous- pad dollars, as one of the principals on the deal claims he did, but the ac- cusation being made, it is quite suffi- cient to bring down upon his head the criticism of his political oppon- ents, for the politics of to-day consist largely of finding faults in the mem- bers of the opposing party and using them as political weapons, It may be true, as Mr. Biggs says, that politics is the rottenest game anyone ever got into. But politics is just like any other game. It can be made or marred by those who play it. If politics is a rotten game then it is because the [politicians themselves make it so. If politicians will descend to petty personalities and neglect the larger issues at stake, it cannot be ex- Dected that the politics of the prov- ince could be anything else but rot- ten, Men such as Mr. Biggs who en- ter the arena with no political past to live down, could do a great deal to- wards removing the rottenness from polities. When the farmer govern- ment came into power it was pro- claimed from the house tops that a new era in politics had begun. But, alas, the hopes raised have not been If everybody obeyed the command, "Thou shalt not steal," there would be few jails and no empires. --r------------ The big eircus will have no free parades this year.
