I OTTAWA,-.Ian. 11.-With the 'approach of the opening of parlia- ment, siocktaking of parties is taking pl-lice ill the capital. The consensus of opinion is that -`Uiiiollism has weathered the worst of the storm and that the caucus ut the opening of the session will suc- cessfully adjust matters ill vlew_of the election in 1922. The Liberals, however, are in a sad plight, with nn untrled lender, un all' but sec- tional party and faced with steady and ever increas- ing desertlons from their ranks to the forces of the Farmers, the op- pcsiiion stands in dr?-re straits. Mr. I{ing's speech at Newmarket, which was expected to act as li bugle call to the old- adherents of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, has been received -by the most ardent Liberals with consider- able disappointment and not a little of dismay.

The purse of gold roit-rl'od to
nbovc was presented by Mr. G.
' 212 Fifth Avenue, `
I aiu only dealing with the crossings from ‘Octoper (ith because that was the date of the change to the one-passenger trip.
During the mouth oi October we made 18 crossings after the last.
passenger trip, carrying 2l_6 freililit cars, and in the month of Novem- ber we made 28 crossings, :ind carried 336 freight cars. or is total ot' 552 freight cars lroln the 6th October till the last‘oi' November. all alter the last passenger trip. But I will go fulither and say that durlngthe llionlh of' November alone we carried 480 freight cars before the first passenger trip, because the weather made it unfit to make the crossing utter dark, und to do this we had to get up at 5 a.rn. It was done to iivoiii the extra risk oi' running after dark; ' _
Now, if these are i`acts.~lmd they are,-what in the name of good-
ness has the Editor oi' the Patriot been doping out -to his readers?
Let Mr. Nash pay particular nttention to the following figures and
then tell me what is best for our province. _
in the time that luis elapsed since we dropped the second passenger
trip on the 6th of October till the Gth of December, or just two months, we have actually carried 3,550 freight cars between the two terminals, hesldes'the baggage, mail and express cars, and never crossed on xi had night after dark, and in the same time had we been coillpellc-'I to malls the second passenger trip the very best we could have done run- ning every night after dark and up illi 9.30 and 10 p.m., would have been 2,656 freight cars.
Now, I ask any reasonable illun, would it be in the interests ot” the
province io leave these X9-i cars of freight behind i`or the extra con- roniellcc of the second passenger trip, besides doing nway with the extra risk ol' running uficr night? ,
OPINIONS WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
I see the I-Editor of the Patriot has decided that he has no opinion
now to offer about the search lights, and I think he will soon coille to the conclusion that lie lins none to offer about the i-ost, of it. for what he has offered to date have had no foundation.
True, I am one of the “people’s paid officilllir." 'I have a duty to
pcrfornillnd I um proud to sity my conscience is clear in reizlir-I to the tllunnor in which I do my work, but 'I nm not ri slzlvt-,, :md for the sake oi' holding my position will not allow any politician, editor, or anyone else to nliike use of me _i.o'l°orward his own ends.
This is not il political question, :is far as l am concerned. It is
simply tl matter oi' i'i\ir pluy and justice to myself and crew, and the best service possible i'or the public under fre eircnlllsulnces.
MEAN INSINUATIONS DISCREDITED.
Now lei us look at Mr. Nash’s editorial of the Sth. and we will again
see wlliit kind oi' ti man this is, when he lnsinlirt-c=i that we are alll crooks. There is it saying that "it takes a thief to catch at thief," but as there has been no thiei' caught in this case, tilai eulinrcs lllailers. I-lore is what he st-iys: "We are inl`ol‘med tllill .lu vlgluholli' tiny, :ind time :mil it ilali' ovoriilile are being pressed for il-e. cilpiaivl :intl his crew."
Who is his ini`ornlant`.’ it is not true. il is paid on the other

Mr. Nash is now insinuzltinn tllili tilt- trontltlciors on the rotui are
holding the trains back l'oi' the sztkc ot’ the time and a halt' overtime tllcy ure supptisetl to get. He lines not sity so, in so many words, but lie insillualcs li tts follows: “llow is it that oi` illl the links that make tip this journey, the only one tiiilt nffortls celerlty and dispiltcll is the t`ill' l\`ei'ry. wlierc time and tl hull' ovi-rtiule is still non-existent?" “We
do not desire to be consiileiw-tl illii'oir." "Let il fine proportionate to the dei.;-' iw illiposctl oil any lrilin conductor who. biirrilig nccitlenl, not at- tributable to llilllsell, is later in hringinl.: his train to her destination. il such it plan were adopted :intl strictly cni'orcotl"l'lot"tilii'y"llel'e but itll over Canutlli the anlloyancc and iilntulizillg delays now so often experi- enced would, we believe, soon become il thing ot' the past."
I do not iliink Mr. Nitsli would deliberately make such un insinua-
tion only that ho is absolutely ignorant of the wllole matter he essays to discuss, and for his information, tts well as the rest of your readers, lei me say that the conductors in question do not get time and it llttlt' overtime, therefore ii. will be up to liiln to get some other reason t`or the delayed trains. _
it surely must be gaillng for a mall to start an argument on infor-
mation that has no truth in it, and when you are told that the conductor, who is responsible for the movements of the trains in question, makes just as much money if he is only eight hours away us if he were eleven or twelve, you will be like myseil' at a loss to understand where the Patriot got any justincatlon for the cowardly insinulltion that the con- ductors llre holding the trains back because they are getting time and a half overtime, and tiiat we would do the same if we were getting it as well, But because we are not getting lt, we are nlliking tillie.
` UNFORTUNATE PATRIOT.
I
In his editorial "Falling Into Line," he makes the astounding state-
ment: “No fault whatever has been found with the Car Ferry service by any newspaper here."
Well, this is rich- And then he goes on and says: “Not only has
this paper (the Patriot), by a few senseless persons been condemned, but its managing editor has been personally ridiculed and abused by a correspondent, whose diatribe the Guardian unfortunately published."
As far ns I know I am the only correspondent, that answered his
attack on the Ferry, but I cannot remember where I ridiculed or abused hlm. Personally I like the genial Editor of the Patriot, but there is no question but that his arguments both in the matter of the Cnr Ferry and the Conductors are extremely ridiculous, and if he wnnts to escape being ridiculed then he mul-it try and get facts and stick to them in tiny future arguments. More than that, if at any time he wants to get re liable informaion I will be pleased to give it to him if it is along my line of work.
I think it very unfair on the part of the Patriot to refuse to publish
my reply, but he goes further and pleads with you not to do so when he says: “The Guardian unfortunately published" my letter. I-ls did not say who it was "unfortunate" for. I have not felt any bad effects from lt, and I don't suppose you have, otherwise you would not publish any more than the ilrat one. Therefore, if it was not unfortunate for you or I, il`must have been unfortunate for Mr. Nash.
Trusting this will close the matter-unless Mr. Nash has some
illcls he wishes to place before the public on the matter-andthat we will not see any more insinuatlons or sarcasni, I don't think the public cares for iliem. Whitt they are after are facts, 'and that is what I would likc to hear put i`orward by anyone against the service, as far as the (‘ur Ferry or my halntlling ol` her goes. A
