But as his calibre is along that line in the House and out of it. what can one expect? If I am to in- fer that his hearing is defective, I would suggest specialist. We have them in the city. He refers to gross misrepresentation and distortion of facts as abuse. I ask the Doctor to state where I mis- represented facts. The géneral public cannot see. Possibly the Doctor's eyesight is also defective. He states | I got my first gentle tap to a res- | ponse of an unprovoked attack. The farmers have been provoked for some time, but more so the past four | years. As I am standing behind the | farmer I submit the attack was quite | provoked, so the statement there falls | | to the ground. The Doctor says he will not ask for quarter nor give any. I never asked for any, do not expect | any, 80 go ahead, Doctor, with your venomous attacks. thereby evading the questions under discussion. He says I voted for him in 1917 but talk- ed against him. I do not and never ! did talk one way and vote another. If he is correct in that statment how inconsittent to say 1 changed by pol- itical allegiance to the Farmers' par- ty when said party was not known in Frontenac county. He charges also that I changed for herbage more lux- uriant. I think I made it quite clear in my last letter that I can make my profession and calling successful to | maintain my family, without the aid of Government pap. As to the gaoler position, I can say that I was an ap- plicant for the position, but upon heing advised that a returned man was in the field I at once withdrew my application, which stand is not taken by some of the Doctor's super- numeraries whom we find parading the streets of our cities in all the pomp and glory of a commanding of- ficer about to enter the field of battle. The Doctor refers to my readiness to play the rart of scavenger at Ot- tawa. I am determined to star; at Frontena~ county first. He states his invitation was broad enough to in- clude Mr. Preston. Mr. Preston de- livered his challenge in person to the Doctor. Why does not the Doctor do the same with Mr. Preston? There is only one conclusion, fear of his op- ponent end not having the protec tion of the House to permit the Doc- tor to vent his venom. The Doctor again evades East Elgin, Peterboro and Frontenac and the part he took in those contests, but refers only to Prince Edward Island and New Prun- swick. Deny it or admit it, Doctor, do not use the tactics of a wily poli- tician by evading the question! The Doctdr, is an old school teacher. Ie gives me two monthe to learn a geo- graphy lesson. As the time given is lengthy, I have not taken the sab- ject up yet, but I mast confess tbat some of his phraseology in his last article was confounding, especially the word sycophant. In consulting Webster I found it to mean parasite or one living upon the nou.ishment of another. I therefore leare this to the pnblic as to who is the greatest sycophant, Dr. Edwards or Bob Bushell. The Doctor refers me to the 5th chapter of Acts, where I will learn of a certain man who aequired un- enviable fame through audacious tri- fling with the truth. I defy him to re- fer to any part of any of my letters where I distorted facts or evaded the issue. The public cannot see it. He refers to me as being a purser upon a passenger boat, and also as Mana- ger of the Fair. He states facts this time. I was a purser on a boat and made things go, and also as vegel- able grower made things go, and then took over the fair and made it go, notwithstanding the fact that the Doctor tried it for fifteen years and could not make it go, and said upon retiring that no man could-make it go. And last but not least I am going to make the Doctor go. ' ~ "ASPIRIN = # *'Bayer" is only Genuine Some more of his | that he consult a | He still likes to refer to me as a | huckster. What about huckstering | political speeches throughout the county? He refers to my attitude in| | 1911 when I opposed reciprocity. That | is true, I found the late Government was going to put vegetables upon the | free list, and let the manufacturer off | with a reduction of tariff. I took the | stand that it was unfair to ask the | vegetable grower to give $1 'worth of tomatoes for 65 cents worth of wagon. Therefore I went to Ottawa with a deputation of over 1,250 to | | make an effort to be placed the same | as the manufacturer, but we were { | told we were too late. But, behold, | the manufacturers went down two weeks later with 80 strong and were told they were on time. In order that the vegetable grower might be made | more peaceful, what was done? "We { will reduce the tariff for you, gentle- | men, a little," we were told. As the Doctor in all his replies evades the questions, substituting abuse, I fail to see any reason that you, Mr. Editor, should so generous- ly give the columns of your valued Probs: Wednesday, very warm. [PEE [ paper for a continuation of this con- troversy. If, however, the Doctor wishes to continue his tirade of abuse | towards me, it is only left to me to | tecome ungentlemanly also, and let | { the public know more about the politi- | | cal huckstering of the past. | Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I remain, respectfully yours, R. J. BUSHELL. WILD MEN OF BORNEO. They Are Not So Wild as They Used to Be. There are fewer wild men of Bor- neo, and they are not as wild as they used to be before British and Dutch came into control of the island and began changing the habits of the natives. In those days there were two kinds »f wild men, the Water Dyaks who lived along the eoast, and the Land Dyaks who lived in the interior, and active enmity between them was per- petual. They met sometimes to trade, but with weapons in one hand and goods in the other. Those days are past. The land Dyak is free to visit the coast, the sea Dyak has some- times moved back and settled in the Interior; practically there is only one kind of wild men of Borneo left. But these are still wild enough. British and Dutch officials have not yet ob- tained complete prohibition of the ancient custom of head-hunting; and one traveler tells us that the Dyak who would a-wooing go still goes secretly a head-hunting first that he may be regarded by the fair as a true wild man of Borneo. And still the "sumitan" or blow- pipe is his favorite weapon and his way of making it a wonder to the traveler. Six or seven feet long, the sumitan is made by drilling a 'straight hole with a pointed iron rod through a log of hard 'wood, and for days and days the patient wild man polishes the first drilling and per- fects it with ramrods of rattan. Then he attacks the log and cuts it down until he has a finished blowpipe less than an inch in diameter. Time, however, is of little value to him; and it takes time also to acquire the knack of blowing the dart with speed and accuracy. A sharp, explosive puff from the very bottom of the lungs does the business, and if the dart merely touches the subject at which it is aimed the wild man ¢* Borneo has achieved his purpo.: Wild enough he still is, and perhaps, after all, it is just as well that the world supply of wild men is diminishing. New Panama Canal. Undoubtedly there will have to be a second canal across the narrow neck which joins North to South America. Growing traffic will de- mand it. But the route is a puzzle. To parallel the present Panama | Canal with a second one seems the most obvious thing to do; but there | are serious engineering difficulties, | especially in relation to the cut! through the mountain divide. Land- slides would make endless trouble. And there are even obstacles in the way of duplicating the locks. The Nicaragua route has the ad-! vantage of cheapness. Half of its | length would traverse the great sheet | of fresh water called Lake Nicaragua, i 100 miles long and forty-five miles wide, which is separated from the Pacific ocean by a land strip only twelve miles broad. Lake Nicaragua is connected with the Carribean Sea by the San Juan river, three-fourths of which is ready-made canal. For the balance the ditch would be dug through low- lands. And at the Pacific end there is no important obstacle, the Cordil- leran backbone of the continent of- fering there a gap only 155 feet above sea level. The digging across Nicaragua is 80 easy and the lake and river so helpful to the project that, although the route is 168 miles long, a canal would cost less than half as much as the $3765,000,000 spent for tHe Pan- ama ditch. The only serious objec- tion to it is danger from earthquakes. But, on the other hand, it is urged that the canal would be far to the south of the earthquake zone. The third possible route is by way of Darien, where the continental backbone is too high to be cut. EXPERIMENT IN PAPER Newsprint Ts Made From Southern Pine, Spruce Birmingham," Ala., June 21.--The Birmingham Age Herald yesterday was published on paper manufactur- ed from southern spruce pine, which grows along the banks of the War- rior river and in the hilly sections of north Alabama, covering many | thousands of acres. The paper was manufactured from wood shipped to northern mills and is declared by experts to be the equal in every respect of the news- {print made from Canadian spruce. The Alabama pine, which is unfit for lumber, contains an unusually trace of rosin. It requires one ton of wood to make a ton of pulp. vr ¥ York in style, DEMONSTRATION By Miss Fitzgerald, of the Nemo Hygenic School of New ALL THIS WEEK We invite you to consult Miss Fitzgerald--Free of Charge --it will be her pleasure to help you select the corset that will do the greatest benefit to your health and give you the utmost white.
