The Toronto Globe has been working itself up into some kind of a high fever over an imagina- tion tliut there is a something hav lug a. resemblance to sheep steal- ing going on in the vicinity of the Liberal fold. it has evidently for- gotten tliat old time parable of how when the shepherd is gone the sheep are divided.
