ing people that they have not been able. since the people titrned them

themselves away from the fleshpots of Canada. It is a revolting spec- tacle in the eyes of Bods and men. and is a black chapter in tile record of men styling themselves Liberals. imagine such a mockery o-i‘ the ‘Lib- eralism of Brown, .Mowat and Blake of Ontario; and of Laurler, Lafon- taine and Gouln of Quebec: and of tHowe. Murray. Jones, of Nova Sco- tia; and of Btinpee, Blair, and Ang- lin. oi‘ New Brunswfick; and Coles Whelan, Davies, of P. E. island! Such a comparison is unthinkable. The real old Liberals who were worthy of the name. and clung to its best traditions to the last were men of a different fibre. they could not be induced to figure in the hide-and-go-seek tactics of the Lib eral Cabinet of today with the so called Progressive party. They would not be guilty of postponing the meeting of Parliament, on vsr- ious pretences and it is said now propose to prolong the agony for six months. When those old time Liberals-wedded the sceptrs of the party they would have brought about a very different state of af- fairs. They would not have coin- pelied the electorate lo witness such shameless jugglery. They would have either found a seat for Mr. King or found a man to flll the leadership. Where now ls Mr King's prestige? Even if the hand- picked majority of thrcelnciuding their own party force yell them- selves hoarse they can never oblit- erate from the memory of the poo- ple the bhrefacsd bartering that has been practiced for the past three months of parliamentary de- gradation.
