one would look to them to show that the old enthusiasm in the militia here. especially in regard to the Artillery, had not waned. and that it was as deep and strong as ever it was in the past. He would remand them of the words of Tennyson! “Live pure, speak true, right wrong." and he would say to the citizens who remained behind, not to believe too readily every tan that would tend to mallgn any.of the men of this province who were going to Halifax and who were doing as much for the British Empire and the British Crown in. filling the garrison there as if they were fighting in the trenches in France. On behalf of the boys he would say that they appreciated highly what the ladies had done for them that evening, and also to thank Professor Watkis and the other entertainers. He also thanked Col. Peake for the use of the Armouries.

Colonel Peaks in a few remarks, in which he referred to the fact that Dr Fullerton was always the man behind the gun in matters like that evening's entertainment. and also spoke of the fitness of Capt. McKinnon and Liam. Bayer for their position. urged in con- clusion as the watchword of the men. “ Discipline."

Capt. McKliinon then thanked the speakers for the remarks of apprecia» tion which they made in reference to himself and his fellow officer. and moved a vote of thanks to the ladies and those who had helped to make the programme interesting.

Lieut. Bayer seconded the motion, adding that one speaker had suggested that the soldiers had been chosen because of their good looks. but that he would inform them that they would not find as good looking girls in Hall- fax us those who honoured them that icvenliig.‘ (Laughton)

The vote was unanimously carried.

At this stage Mayor Sterns entered the room and was requested by the chairman to address the men. His Worship, after referring to the line physique of the soldiers and their ex- cellent drill, stated that they could justly proud of the fact that this province had sent more men, propor‘ tionately, to the war than any other province in the Dominion. He wished the men there that evening good luck and God-speed.

Capt. T. E. McNutt here announced that he had received two letters from England, one from Major McKay stut- ing that the soldiers froui Souris and Montague had arrived safely and would go as a reinforcement to the contingent already at the front.

Although the public had short notice of the departure of the contingent, there was a very large crowd at tho station. and the boys were given three rousing cheers as tho train moved out. They were escorted from the Ar- inourics to the station by the Artillery under command of Capt. McKinnon and fiblli Battalion of Infantry under command of Capt. C. ll. Campbell. There was no turnout of the band. but the. men marched to the roll of the drums. The complete list of the niou appeared in Monday‘s Guardian.

' (continued form Page ThirteenL buying cars liberally and he had a me- thod of'his own of getting it done. a method he said he had employed very successfully under the late Govern- ment, and he recommended to the good Tories in the county of Pictou to try their own hand with this Govern- ment and see if they could not get an order in order to satisfy the growing demand for work of the people of the county of Pictou.

" 'The coal companies are slack just now. but they say another difficulty is that when they do have orders they cannot get sufficient cars to carry these orders. Here, again, is this Gov- ernment with its characteristic stu- pidity." ' '

Mr. MACDONALD: “Hear, hear."

Mr. MEIGHEN: “Now 1 will give an example of the stupidity:

“They gave a 180-car order. Why did they not make 500 or 1,000 cars for the Intercoloniai '

“Economy and retrenchment.

“ "The road requires the care.’

“Here is the method by which he got the Government to fly in the face of the opinion of the Minister of Roll- ways that 180 cars additional were stif- iicieiit for the purpose. Here is his method of suggesting to the people of Pictou, a well-tried method of forcing the Government to do as he wished.

" ‘The good Tories should have got down‘ after this Government and made them give an order. I would have done that and would liave'got the or- der or have known the reason why.‘

“That was the apostle and the great prophet of retrenchment and reform. preaching the gospel to the county of Pictou."

Macdonald and the C. N. R..'

Mr. Macdonaid in his charge of reckless extravagance. has included among his complaints the alleged ex- penditure of $45.000.000 on the Cana- dian Northern Railway. As Mr. Mei- ghen pointed out. there was no expen- diture on the Canadian Northern. it was Mr. Macdonald's somewhat free and easy way of referring to the bond guarantee given by Parliament last. year. But on this subject too he had something to say at Trenton. “where,” as pointed out again by the Solicitor- General, “he expected the extension of the Canadian Northern Railway would be of service to his constitu- cncy.

“What.” asked Mr. Me'ighen. “were

his remarks about this Canadian Northern? Did he criticise us for our prodigality. for our waste of the pub- lic resources? No, he did let out a me- thod; and 1 am going to give the House his method and ask Ille House to consider whether a more beautiful method of pursuing the policy of re- trenchment and reform could possibly have been devised than that recom- mended to the people of l’ictou county by the lion. member for that consti— tuency. Speaking of the Canadian Northern railway he. said: , “One. hundred million dollars more will be needed to complete the road. This is the situation. They will net-(l 52 millions more to pay their debts and complete the road.

“ ‘This is what the Government said. We will not loan you a dollar. but we will guarantee your bonds and you get out and sell them. If the bonds sell at the same rate as the last did they will net the company about 41 millions of dollars. and out of this Mackenzie, Mann & Company are ex— pected to go out and pay debts of 152 millions and spend 100 millions more to complete the road. Now is it any wonder that no man who has looked ill~ to this proposition can see anything but fully in it. The Liberal members said we are not opposed to assisling the road. but we do not want to eni- ploy this makeshift scheme. We would deal with it in a way that would be effective. just as we completed the 'l‘rnuscontinentnl railway.‘

A Hundred Millions.

“The policy of retrcnclinicnl and re- form in the field of railway enterprise i'ecoiiiinciidcd to this country is it dii- pllcutioii of that hideous iilghtiiiarc. the ’l‘raiiscontiucntul. llc goes on:

""l‘lils enterprise must go on. We need the railway. My, hon. friend said that we should have control of the road. not own it, and lot us be. able to say that we are the masters and not the servants. The reason i moved the six mouths’ hoist in the House was that the scheme was worthless. It was providing 40 millions of dollars where 152 millions were needed. What was the use talking about questions in that way.

“‘Tluil is not the way statesmen deal with a question, a six months' hoist means a direct negative to the proposition. and holding that that was not the right way to handle in, and that was the way I moved the six months' hoist. '

“'lt was not open for us-‘

This Was His Policy.

"He. had to oil'er some apology for not suggesting this largesse policy to Parliament. Here. is his policy;

“‘it was not open for us to move that a. hundred million dollars be giv- en. That cannot come from tho Oppo- sition. it must come from the Coyorir ment.

"Will the right lion. leader of the Opposition be. good enough to join in the solemn assurance of the hon. member for Pictou that. if the people of Canada will in the illumination of their intellect only reinstate info of- fice the Liberal party, that party will put into force a policy of retrench-

The Macdonaid exposure was our of those things to which politicians of a. certain class in Canada lay them- selves open. more especially in their acrobatic efforts to support the ever- vurylng policies of the Liberal party. But it is only a new chapter in an old old story. inconsistency. opportun- ism. these have always been the char- acieristica of the Liberal course since 1896. Liberal members who follow the white plume. must necessarily come back over their tracks from time to time as the plume is blown hither and thither by every little wliid that. seems to blow in the direction of a momentary partisan advantage.
