MONDAY, .\ l'».\'i‘lt()'l‘ saaxnlqn. - In its reference to the retirement of Sir Robert Borden, Friday's Patriot says “Whatever good work he has done-—and he has done some good work—will' always be overshadowed -t0 "a greater or lesser d2‘ gree by the fact that he entered into an alliance with ‘Bourassa and the Nationalists, an allliance _whlch was not a loyal one, whereby he sought to obtain and did obtain power." a This statement is as impudent as it is false. The Patriot knows that Sir Robert Borden never formed any such alliance. If the Patriot will refer to its poli- tical history it will find that Bourassa was a life l long Liberal; that in 1899 he resigned his seat in the Liberal Government in protest against the sending l of troops to the South African war; that he was re- elected by acclamation and was re-introduced in the House of Commons by a member of the Laurier cab- inet. The fact that in the election campaign of/1911 he opposed reciprocity, as Sir Robert Borden did, is the basis ofthe calumny propagated by cheap jack politicians like the Patriot. The whole political life of Sir Robert Borden has been and is diametrically opposed to the policy of Bourassa. Bourasszfs pro- test was against sending troops to the aid of the Motherland; Sir Robert Borden's act was to send half a million men, well provisioned and equipped to fight the Empire's battles and to devote his life and energy to the Imperial cause even to the sacrifice of his health. Bourassa opposed conscription;'Sir Robert Borden made it anelection issuefBourassa opposed the $35,000,000 grant for the building of three dreadnaulzhts ;Sir Robert carried a vote for this grant through the commons but it was defeated by a Liberal Senate. Bourasszt was a Liberal, an anti Intperialist, and in most respects in close alliance with Liberalism. Sir Robert Borden was and is a Conservative and an Imperialist. Apart from his op- position to the Fielding-Patterson reciprocity scheme Bourassa had no community of interest with Sir Robert Borden or the Conservative party. The Patriot knows this and if it had any regard for truth it would eithefhzlve admitted it or omit- ted its parting slur at the greatest statesman in Canadian history. The Montreal Gazette, which the Patriot has recently quoted quite frequently in opposition to the Union Government, has the following t0 say about Sir Robert Borden's retirement:— ' “Sir Robert Borden will go down in history as the great Canadian war minister. He proved him- self equal to an occasion that called for courage, i patience, confidence and inflexible determination. Not for one instant did Sir Robert waver. His sense of duty dominated, from the path he marked out there was no turning. “From the sincerity of his motives, from his ar- dent loyalty, from his great attainments nothing can detract and in his quest for restoration of health, he will carry the atlmiratiomthe gratitude, and the hopes of the Canadian people that, unburdened of the strain of office, he will in many a coming year. find that which he seeks.” ATHLETICS. While those of our Island athletes who compet- ed in the Dominion Day events gave a good account of themselves it will be frankly admitted that the lone vacation-, practically since the war began, has had its effect both in numbers and in the training of our athletes. Thanks to the “old sports" of former years ath- letics have not been forgotten and a revival is al- , ready in tit-egress which will in due course restore us to the proud position we once held among; mari- time athletes. In carrying out this desirable object our leaders in athletics will, we feel assured, have the backing and coloperation ofour citizens and no doubt a programme will shortly be mapped out which will inclu-de the growing boys and prepare them for competition later on with the best the maritime provinces, can produce. Athletics judicially conducted means sound minds in sound bodies, means discipline, self-control and physical and uten- tal health. We have our former veterans, our form- er champions to set the pace and we shall look to them for leading. In this we bespealc for them the hearty support of our citizens. ' Tlllfi SURF. ]‘.'\'l‘RIO'l‘. The Patriot is extremely sensitive on the ques- tion of sessional indcmnities. In a recent is- sue -it charges the Guardian with having “deliber- ately left out" ofan Ottawa despatch the announcel ment that the sesssional indemnities of members and senators had been increased from $2,500 to $4,000. The Patriot's charge, like many others recently made, is deliberately false. The item referred to appeared in the Guardian as it did in the mainland paper from which the Patriot admits it was copied. The fact that the sessional indemnities at Ot-' tawa have been increasedis no balm to the Pat iot’s wounded conscience. What the people in this grov- ince are protesting against is not so much the in- Qfllflfllllvlllfillilliiilll‘ CdlliENl "The ‘Palrlot with ‘its usual re- gard for veracity ,tell'a ua that the llqudrld sold by-tllc vendors is in- spected‘. ~lt would interest the public if it would explain what it means by inspection; Has there been all official inspector appoint- ed‘! if m, it is most unusilrfl for the Goverlnnent to implement a pile-election prontlsefilf they ever tlslng it to the umltror their ca- pacity.
