The court re- -~» c. .. .n _..-. says they did is absolutely incredible â€"particularly as they had had ex- perience with similar people not long ago. It is strange that there are per- sons like Gamey and Callaghan will- ing to make oaths. that't hey are dis. 'reputable neople willing to do all sorts of nasty jobs for cash. The Cal- laghan affidavit distinctly weakens the Conservative case in the minds of all thoughtful people. One can only account fur its appearance and the use that is being made of it by look- ing forward to the time when the text of this swear will be read in country schoolhouse: ' to unsophisti- cated electors who still believe that what is said .under oath is true.

As soon as Mr. Grossin reorganized his company he would clear up the mutilation ot the boob and Mr. Gamey‘s bank payments. “FRIDAY. new 20. 190.8. “I said that I would not have any. thing to do with 'Mr. OroSsin‘s com- pany, and that I did not wish todis- cuss the matter with him.

We would rather be an Optimist than. a pessimist oven upon the same buis of facts, but in this matter the clear- er-eyed a man's observation is. and the long or his experience, the can: must be his conviction that politics are sharing the general betterment of the world.

There is to-dny no seriOus charge touching the government of the Province standing against Kr. Ross. There is nothing which. if Mr. Whitney came into office to-mor- row, he would feel it necessary to remedy or change. A hundred mil- lions of dollars have been expended through thousands of officials. and to the present "day no cikhipt use of that money has been proved. Nowhere else in the world is there to be found a similar record. For this record Premier Ross may fairly claim a share of the credit.
