The evil eye seeth no good, says the Ot- is tawa Journal Press. Measuring the worth ’h of their opponents by theirown tattered 31,3 standard of political morality Laurier par-'lati tisans could see nothing inthe Act giving Cen votes to soldiers other than a gigantic H h fraud to steal the rec-ent election. And so for months past the country has heard-al that soldiers’ ballots were being switched he by thousands to achieve reversal of the ver- l S dict in constituencies where Laurierites es- a a caped disaster by the vote at home. Thus it-fwas put out that enough votes were switchedfrom Winnipeg-alone to defeat Molloy in Provenchcr; that ample ballots; were diverted from Toronto to spell defeat, for half the pitiable group of Laurierites‘ to survive the deluge in Ontario; and that even in Quebec shrewd handling of fighting ballots might make a substantial dent in Laurier’s formidable line one un-easy geni- us even suggesting that Sir Wilfrid himself might go down to defeat in Quebec East. , Such ridiculous talk, persistently repeat- i ed, had an inevitable result; an important section of the public swallowed it without challenge, and, unfortunately, many of the soldiers overseas were led to believe that under the provisions of the Act they were privileged to cast their votes in whatever constituency they chose. The consequence is that upwards of 25 per cent. of the soldier vote in Canada is lost because the law, made by men who were neither thieves nor luna- tics, was specific that soldiers should vote in constituencies in which they resided prior' to enlistment. _ The whole business is suggesive of the great deal of folly that is indulged in bv partisans mentally unbalanced by mad de- sire for office. Made suspicious by their own low level of purpose and sportsman - ship, they are ever ready and willing to asperse the motives of their opponents, and their partisanship is such that iio bombard- ` ment of common-sense or logic can possib- ly be made to penetrate their temporarily bedevilled minds. The moral would seem to be a necessity for closer public scrutiny of all public leg- islation, a greater public desire to chal - lenge mere partisan assertions without proof, and, finally, but most important of` alI_, an increased degree of willingness to regept unsu ported inpeachments of thel motives of overnments and men. ` When will the war end?
