Never in the history of Canada has thc word- patriotism been as freely bandicd about as during the discussion, not yet ended, on Canada’s du- ty in the war. 'l`lle renegade inciting' the mob on the streets of Montreal declares himself a patriot and all who differ with him tyrants. The politician who seeks nn a measure intl‘oduccd in parliament a me- nace to his party’s political well-being, op- poses the mea-sure in the interests of his "beloved country." Only they who have taken their lives in their hands to drive back their country’s enemies--only they say nothing of patriotism! “Theirs but to do and die,” for theothers to talk, to shout their patriotism, to mouth their loyalty. The other day ill the House of Com- mons, the Hon. Frank Oliver in seconding Sir Wilfrid l.aurier’s amnedment deman-~ ding a referendum declared himself a “strong supporter” of the principle of con- scription but he objected to the bill before the House because of the provision for a selective draft. _ Sir Robert Borden asked him if he had any suggestion to offer as to how the selec- tion should_be made. Mr. Oliver replied that he objected to the appointment of trustees who had the powerto say who should or should not go.. “I don’t believe in a bill that says Brown shall go and Smith shall stay at home, with out suggesting why.” ' Sir Robert Borden repeated that he would be glad to consider ally suggestion to improve the bill. “Can you make any suggestion in this connection ?", he asked. “I don’t appreciate that as my function,” replied Mr. Oliver. “That is the Govern- ment’s function. My function is to show where the bill falls short. Having done that, I have done my duty.” How many have done their “duty.” since this unhaPP.V wal- began, just as Mr. Oliver has done his! lf all who have point- 'ed out alleged failures in measurcz; 'adopted to will the wra - can be credited with having done their du- ty, then truly _a, noble army ol' Canadians at home have ddhe their duty--with their mouths and- with their pens. Never bc- fore, in Canada’s history, has there been so much of this kind of “duty” done. - Duty? Duty to what and to whom? To the party solely, not to the Empire, not to the country, not to the men who are bat- tling day and night in the craters and shell holes, nor to the dead who lie in unnamed graves in 'France and Flanders. “It is not my function to point out a bet- ter way," says the partisan patrio`t. “That‘s up to the government,” “I know a better way," says the political trickster, “but I 'shan’t tell you; it might help the goverll~ ment.” Mr. Oliver professed to know a way bv which conscl'iption-which hc ap- proved of--could be made more effective but, lest it might help the government, he would damm the whole measure and se- cond a motion for its defeat. _We do not suppose for a moment, nor will anyone else, that Mr. Oliver had any practical suggestion to make, that he had any desire to make the bill more effective, that he cared one iota whether the bill, the “principle” of which he professed to blelieve in, _carried or not so long as its ad- o tion or rejection-furnished some pre- , xt for blaming the government. This ki dof opposition and of criticism s beewchiaracteristic of the»_Li_beral press d th Ijglegral platform since, the war be- n. eT_ has been endless opposition, endless criticism, endless faultfinding but not a word or a suggestion to aid the go- vernment in its conduct of the country’s share in -the war. In view of the need of oneness of purpose and 'oneness of aim in carrying the coulftry through the one “Conscription of wealth.” The Journal had stated,that conscription' of wealth, in the sense of conscription of man power, was an impossibility; that the only effective way in which wealth could be cocscripted was by means of 'an increased income tax, a doctrine which the Citizen declared was exceedingly wicked. The J ournal-Press in support of 'its contention asked the Citi- gen t_<_J b_<_: so gogd as to explain the process yw ic 1 a_lt-_jco d econscript -Pro- ceeding ' _ “l.ers;l1_sve“ afdesgllte explanation, ~ not a mere sample of Citizen intoxica- 'tion in -the 'exuberance of its own-_vf`er- bosity which tells nobody anything worth while;-let’s have a plain State- ment how the Government ough'-t to applv tl‘le‘ idea of conscription _ of wealth to the Ottawa Citizen Printing Company, and inferelrtially to _all other industries, otherwise than by application of an income tax. We cor- `dially invite the Citizen to get down to brass tacks. And if' there is anybody ` else who is cheering for ‘conscription of wealth,’ we suggest he should start to concentrate his ideas by asking himself how the Government ought l to legislate to apply the idea to say the nearest grocerystore. If that seems to be too small potates, let him take dry-_goods store, or a furniture facto- ry. If he concludes upon study that he rloesn’t mean that sort of thing. but just thi money of rich individuals, let him as' himself in what _way he is going to get that better than by in- come tax." , _ _Conscription of Wealth is a sollorous expression, it sounds good alld there are ,few of us who do not think he knows o‘f somebody’s wealth that should be conscrip- ted. The trouble is how to get at it. A cer- tain sect of socialistic anarchists ,have offered solutions which ill these law abiding countries of ours would not meet with nlucll sympathy and would scarcely be of- fered at a public political meeting. Sir Thomas White has already intimated that he purposes introducing a measureof in- creased income taxation; the government has already collscripted profits in excess ol a certain percentage; it has also pledgcrf Canada, and the pledge has been applzluderl by both sides of the House, to stay in the war “to the last man and the last dollar,” until yictorv is achieved. The wealth of Canada is already being conscripted to meet the needs of the situation. When the need increases there willrfbe 'a furtller in- crease. In the meantime it is men, not mo- ney, that is needed and they cannot be got in any other way. That is why conscrip- tioll of men is being demanded today by all loyal Canadians. _ ___ _,W ), ,(.___.______ A I_"1`().\l(ll§lLl‘I l)l€l \`lN(i While, doubtless, many of the reports circulating about unruly driving and over- speeding by automobiles are exaggerated it must ill all fairness be admitted that there 'are some good and sufficient causes for complaint on this score and that all au- toists are not as thoughtful of the conve- neince or even the safety of others as they ought to be. This is of course true of the drivers of horses as well. Up to the present there has been much mol‘e unruly driving with horses than with autos. This however does not excuse the autoist. It is well known that the prejudice against autos has not yet been entirely removed and the blame for this lies lal'gely with the few reckless drivers who break loose occasion- ally, and for whom some people in the country are “laying” with such weapons as may be available when they next encoun-» ter each other. This is regrettable. The automobile is slowly winning a way for it- self and if all its drivers were as careful and considerate as they ought to _be the gulf between the pros and the antis would very soon be bridged. There is only one re- medy .for the_ trouble and the sooner it is applied the better it will be for all concern- ed.; that,reme`dy-is prosecution for every of- fence. Every a_uto is numbered. Should one go out without a number its owner .is liable. When' the speed limit is exceeded; when the prescribed precautions on meet- ing horses are neglected let the offence be promptly reported to the nearest magis- trate and we feel quite sure that the Auto- Kwai Crisis in its iliSi0I`y Surely fl1iSiS 3 Pi-' 'mobile Association and every reputable au- tiful attitude to adopt. . )0 _ (YONSCRIPTION ()l".Wl‘}A LTI! _ The Ottawa Journal-.Press in a recent issue replied -to th_e__Qttawa Citizen which, like many other _Llbe'ral?_;_)apers, 'hes of late been howling about <‘ jlptest. cxcllsc, iam _ ~ _ to owner will assist in prosecuting the of- fender. The roads that are__open to autos are open also to teams and to pedestrians. All have their rights and these rights must be maintained. It may be necessary to in- voke the aid of the courts to effect this and the sooner this is done, if it must be done, the better will _it be for all concerned.
