BEALL, THE JEWELLER, Lindsay. snitch arm GOLONIES. 0n the Question of Sending Troops to the War in South Africa. ( From the Toronto Daily Star.) It is not to be denied that those who argue that Parliament should have been called before Canadian troops were sent to Africa, have a. good. case. As Sir Richard Cartwright intimated, in his recent speech in the House, it was only the exceptional circumstances that just- ified the overlooking of the sound prin- ciplc that Parliament should be conâ€" sulted on so important a question. The facts connected with the sending of troops from the other colonies show that the Parliaments there were con- sulted, and that: there was a stronger opposition to the sending of troops than what has been manifested in Can- ada. In Queensland, public opinion compelled the Government to delay ac- tion until Parliament could be called, and the vote authorizing the sending of troops was carried by only 37 to 28. The New South Wales Lancers were drilling at Aldcrshot, and cabled home For permission to volunteer, which was denied by the Government until Par- liament could be called to consider it; and, when permission was given by Par- liament, it was only on a vote ol'17 to 10. in South Australia the vote was carried in one chamber by 18 to 9, while in the other it was only carried by the casting vote of the president. It is important that the people of Canada should know something about the course pursued in the other colo- nies. That is a fair way of measuring our own conduct. It will then be learn- ed that Mr. Bourassa’s argument that Parliament should have been called had nothing French-Canadian about it, for in Queensland, before Mr. Bourassa had raised his voice, the same objection was raised, and the Government there deferred to it and called Parliament. Nor is there anything essentially French- Canadian in the attitude of' any man in Quebec who may have been opposed to sending troops From Canada. for in Queensland twenty-eight members ot‘ Parliament. voted against sending the troops. That is in the British colony of Queensland, whose example has been so much held up to us here, because of telegrams that preceded those sent by Canada to the Home authorities. 0-... The Bully. The Hamilton Spectator says that the reason the leaders of the Conserva- tivefparty are not accused of disloyalty is because the charge would he so mani- f'estlv untrue that it would excite only laughter. This is worth considering. How are we ever, in this country, to drive this word “disloyalty” out of' business 7 It operates all over Canada, and is everywhere the bully among wards. It dominates argument, con- quers reasoning, and puts good sense to flight. Armed with this word, the butcher's apprentice can route a whole college of professors, and a pale youth in a printing ofiice can write this word and provoke a seven day’s discussion in a Parliament of‘ aged men. The stout- est patriot quails before the trailcst uc- cuser who comes against him with this word. The man who carries it ready upon his tongue goes about like an ex- plorcr in Africa, who, carrying a mag- azine rifle and self-acting revolvers, acorns the great numbers of the spear- oarrymg natives. There seem to be only two avenues of escape from the terrorism that this- word has set up. One _wav would be for all to became so unmistakably loyal that no man couli question it; but this seems hopeless It' a man shouted lov- alty for twenty hours a day, he would be regarded with suspicion, and some day denounced, by a neighbor who talk- ed loyalty one hour a day longer than he. If a man should eat a fried frog every morning. talk loyalty all day. and sleep in a Union Jack at night, it would avail him nothing if he voted Liberal in politics. The Conservatives saw this word first, and it is theirs. Among themselves they know that it means “ a man who votes the Opposite. ticket.” There is, therefore, no_ use trying to expel this word from common' use by vieing with its patentees in the" use of it, or in vocal expressions of lay. alty. It. might take centuries to aecom- plish anything in that way. The people of this country are all sound citizens, wedded as securely to our own institutions as any people in, the world. and no happier, more cou~ V‘" tented subjects ‘of the Queen can be found in the whole Empire. It is the shcerest impertinence to suggest that". any political party or any‘section of the people are more loyal, in the true and unprofaned sense of the word, than any other. These impertinences emanate From politicians who range in public places, seeking their own preferment at any cost, and from editors who, from long brooding in the secrecy of their dens, have begun to gnaw at their own own intellects.â€"Star. *_..___ What Do You Think About It ? The Standard Oil Co., which was or- dered by the U. S. Court several years ago to liquidate as an illegal conspiracy against the public, has just declared a quarterly dividend of 20 per cent. The stock is now selling at $544 for a 3100 share! Because it did not make enough. it has recently increased the price of its products 30 per cent! You know that demand and supply regulate the price!. After the increase the price of the stock went up $100 per share! If it would raise the price of oil more it would’. advance more. Is that better for you: than to have the public produce oil andi sell at the cost of' production? You are the man interested in the matter. What do you think about it? Do yonr. think you will ever have a monopoly in oil, so that it will be to your interim to have it in private hands awaiting your hoped-for control? Oil can be sold by the public. transported over public rail-z roads, and better wages paid to all the workers, for one cent per gallon. That has been stated by the sworn figures of" the oil monopoly. Why be afraid of public ownership when it gives you so much without injury to any person 17â€"-- Appoul to Reason. ‘-â€"â€"â€"«-Aâ€"â€".. o... The Lords Acted Wisâ€"ely. Premier Salisbury in the Honda oi" Lords last week opposed the proposed. militia ballot, which m‘ans practicain conscription. Lord Laosdowno, the Duke of Devonshire and the Ell'l of Kimberley also opposed the bill. Lord Rosebery, Lord Dunravcu and others supported it. " It has been su:gested," said Lord Salisbury, “ that the ballot would bare the effect of driving men into the ranks of the volunteers. I rather suspect that it would drive them to emigrate to the trans-Atlantic countries where there is no ballot ofthat sort to frighten them. I prefer not to run the risk of‘ awaken- iug unaccustomed emotions at a time it is necessary that. the nation should work in harmony.” The House rejected the motion of Lord Wemyss by a vote of 69 to 42. During the past 200 years England has spent over $6,000.000,000 in war, which now costs $100,000,000 a year in interest. Was is a good thing-4hr the bond holders. In Denver the undertakcrs have formed a. trust to increase the price of coffins, funerals etc. Firstâ€"â€"the trusts made it too expensive to live. and now they make it. too expensive to die. Where are we at? Victor Hugo said that "the rich would do anything For the poor exc-;pt get off their backs." And what is more, the poor fightnnd slay each other, when it becomes necessary to do so, an order that they may continue to ride on their backs. â€"‘ -./ ‘vr'n/ . r .v-AA__ »-._/ -\V-_/~V»~N~‘Mi~_vp. , . .AA~A»: - _ A. .x x J ~ 2‘!)
