Last summer in the hour of possibly the Empire's lg
greatest trial, when the whole fabric of her being was
torn and every-_great tradition and belief seemed in
themeltirigpot, when most thoughtful peoplewcrc ‘_
consoling themselves with the knowledge that even in `C
that dark hour there was one crowning blessing, a _
regeneration of spirit, a spirit of patriotism, of devo-
tion and of self-sacrifice-then it was that the Patriot 't
v
launched its “oats scandal,” backed up by probably -‘
the greatest misrepresentations and falsehoods that a
haveever been made do duty in a public controversy. l
The cry was taken up by ~Mr George E. Hughes and
other bitter partizans, and was carried through the 2
country to do duty as an argument to damage the
reputation of thi; Government. The Guardian did its P
best to counteract the slander. It sent representatives C

~ The Patriot declined to accept the challenge, n
faeetiously remarking that it was not prepared to go' T
andmakc personal investigations “ headed by a mili-
my band." But it aid desist for a time in hs W
calumnies, but only for a time. As soon as the elec- d
tion was announced, the Patriot resurrected the “ Oats n
Scandal” and made it do duty as a weapon with which '
to beat the Government at the polls. Again,'it was t
challenged, as was every Liberal candidate in Queen’s n
County at any rate, and not a few in other parts of
the Province. But still they stuck by their allegations. a
Now, Mr Hughes and many of the Liberal candidates
were members of the Committee in charge of the oats,
and if there was any wrongdoing or neglect, theyf
were thc parties responsible. n __ _ _ _' _ _D
