After evading the issue for more than a week, It calmly remarks at the tail-end of its lengthy article in its yester- day's issue: “.\'ow. let us not get oh’ the track in this controversy" I V We do not wish to follow the tactics of our friend. We have dealt with the points and side issues it has raised. and left it not a leg to stand upon. its henchman, Mr Schurman, raises another straw man for us to shoot at, anti our contemporary describes it as a " crushing reply " to otir indictment. lf evasion be crushing. then Mr Schur- man is ti steam roller! .‘tlr Schumian seeks to answer our charge of attempting to use the Alliance as a means of damaging the Government by claiming that he was in the West Indies when the proposed amendments to the Prohibition Act were formally drafted and submitted. Granted. But will .\lr Schurman deny that he was here when those additional amendments were suggested, anti will he deny that he was here when he finally broke with the Government? The facts are as we have stated. The Government i-ri-ated a good impression on the Alliance, was working wi-ll with it, attil will coiitlnue to work with it so long as .l/lr St-liurtnun iloes not seek to usurp the place of the (Iovernnient atiil Governor conibined. In order to strengthen his claim that the Government is lax in its enforcement of the law, Mr Schurnian, or an official of the Alliance with his knowledge, prepared and circulated a statement principally dealing with prisoners convicted of coutraveiitiotis who hail been pardonetl anti set nt liberty. The Patriot published what it claitned to be the state- ment, anti we had tio iliflit-.tilty in sliowing that the record there disclosed was entirely to tht- cerdit of the Govern- ini-nt. Thereupon .\fr Scliurman ilisowneil the statetnent, tinil the Patriot follotvi-il this tip with the tlelivcranizc that the stntenient it had publislieil would surprise us when it was published. We have asked our contemporary to produce the elusive tlocunit-nt, iitit so t`ur without result. That is the present position of the niain controversy. incidentally another has arisen. The Guuriliati charged the Patriot yesterday with pub- lishing misrepresentations about the Government and backing tip these misrepresentations by the publication of u document which bears the impress of fraud and forgery. We submitted evidence proving that its alleged corres- pondent. “.-\. li. Roberts," had no existence, anti called tipoti our iionteniporary to explain its position in the triutter. Yesterday the Patriot <'ame'otir"1vitli :i long rigniarolc aliasing the polii-t-. anti making other recklt-ss charges, but not one word of explanation about opening its columns to n forged anti fraudulent tlocunient in support-of its present catnpttlglt. ll' the Patriot wishes to retain its position as ti responsible journal it trannot lie silt-ntly under this grave cltarge; it must product- its correspotiilcnt, or subinit tsufllcicnt evidence to prove it acted bona-liile in accepting the spurious letter t'or publication. At present the Patriot stands branded us acting in collusion with some fraudulent person for the purpose ol' obtaining some cheap party advantage. t‘:tn it afford to sacrifice its reputation thus easily? _ _-___i..0il__.i CIVILIZATION BY FORCE VVliat is England fighting for? Here‘s the answer of the "Outlook," New York, the paper published by Dr. Lyman Abbott, anti to which Theodore Roosevelt contribu- tes: “The Outlook, ns long as it has words to tttter and type to print, will continue to protest, aa it has in the past, against the doctrine that spiritual or intellectual or political life can be imposed by force upon the people. Life in the individual springs front within. So must na- tional and intellectual life. "As theoriicy, or the attempt to make men righteous by force, failed in the New England colonies; so serfdont and slavery, or the attempt to make men industrious by force, failed in Russia and the United States; as feudallsm, or the attempt to make men loyal and cliivalrous by force. failed in England; and as the spirit of materialistic revolu- tion, or the attempt to make meti liberal-minded and intel- lectually free of force, failed in France-so we believe that the doctrine of Maclitpollttk, the attempt by Germany to ltnpust- a clvllizatloii upin humanity bv force, must fall -ttittvt lit. matic to fall." lt is tlte old~age war of frectlom-freeilom to live, to think io act. to die as one'a individuality demands; with only one restraint-that one's liberty ends where anoth- er begins.

PARIS, November 19.- i\luch mys- tery is connected with the sudden tie- parture for South America of Joseph Caillaux, former Premier and Minister of Flitutice, who was ucconipanleil by his wife, the central figure in u sensa- tional murder case a. few months ago. The newspapers here merely mention the fact that M. and Mme, (‘nilluux left front Bordeaux on the liner Perou. It is hinted, however, that the man whom Germany has called her greatest friend in France is going itito enforc- Gd exile. ' As a result of tlieParliametitary proceedings taken to tletcrininc the extent of M. i1aillaux'a piirticipation in several deals of shady nature ul- leged to have been negotititcil during his tenure of the Ministry of Fitiuiice, i\l. Cuillaux was di-i-lared innocent by the (‘lianilier. It was realized, how- ever, that his cart-cr as a statestiiati wus at ati end. Mme. tlailluux \vas~ acquitted when brought to trial for the nturder of (‘.alnictte, but there remained in the public niitid the feel- ing that her husband, while not actu- ally guilty of instignatlng the crime, was in great part morally responsible. In the course of the charges and counter charges adopted by the priii- clpals in the (Talniette~Caillaux affair, there were more thon hints that thi- fornier Minister of Finance hail be- trayed Franct-. in the negotiations for the settlement of the Moroccan inci- ilent by which Geruiany gained lnrgc territory iti the French Congo.
