Shearer; All the world is sniffing at the stench of oil from Washington. The smell of secret commissions in Ontario is pungent enough to affect nostrils fur beyond the boundaries of that Province ' Strong malodors from Newfound- land reach far beyond the ancient colony‘s island shores. That reveals one of the nesses of democracy. The many are indifferent to the public in- terest. Many others are over-trust- ful. It is easy for selfish scbenlers to fill their coffers with money be! longing to the people. The money they get may be turned into their own pockets or into the treasury o1‘ their political party to help them maintain their hold on power. it may be paid in secret commissions by financial concerns or in gener- ous subscriptions to party funds to enable friends to secure or retain possession of thc treasury benches. Such immense profltsnre to be made from bond sales or from monopolistic franchises, or from tacit permission to violate liquor laws or the Narcotic Drugs Act. that those securing these speeinl privileges or advantages can well afford to offer bribes so Inlmense that small men or easy men are sorely tempted. A Well-known Heb- rew bootlcgger rose iu Brad- streets from $75,000 10321100000 in two years. 1t is no wonder some yield and make moral lapse, but live In comfort ever after. To some policemen or customs checkers $1,000 looks large. Seine have risk- ed their positions for such n bait. And to some nluch higher in the public service $130,000 or $100,000 or 8500.000 looks wonderfully tempting. And there is no question that immense sums of money are being spent by lawless plunderers to purchase Immunity from the penni- ties due their violations of law. . Yet we have reason to rejoice that so often public servants in- dlgnantly refuse these golden baits. The writer is too experienced in public service to be impressed with the usual floating rumors, but he has unquestioned knowledge -of cases In which public servants very recently have been offered sums varying all the way from 810.000 up to 8500.000 which have been indignantiy spurned.
