` ilnitliei `of~Cominons a .little dye: two_years

ago, Sir Wilfrid made this solemn promise of his own free will and accord regarding the administration of

govemment during the war:1 ‘

"lf in what has been done or in what rernmi:

to be done theirmay be anything which in our judgment should not be done, or .i-hould be dijer- - etltly done, we take no exception, we o_/fer no cri-

ticism .ro long as there is danger at the fr:-nt." This is plain and explicit and allows of no du-

bicty whatever. As long as there was danger at the front the Liberals pledged themselves through tlie mouth of 'their leader, without exception or rtserva-~ tion of any kind whatever, to offer no criticism or Io indulge in party-warfare. We know perfectly well that Sir Wilfrid's followers never kept this promise, that they immediately commenced sniping, and after- wards broke out in open warfare. Sir Wilfrid did nothing to restrain them, but in May last, when there was the prospect of a general election, when the Go- vernment was prepared to take the opinion of the people on its conduct of the war, in view of the ap- proaching expiry of the natural life of parliament, the Liberal Leader went to Ontario and told the Fe- derationi of Liberal Clubs that

"l do not care, for my part, .ro long as the war

lasts, to open the portals of office with that

bloody key”~1`. e. a 'war-tiriie clcclmn, This sanguiiiary declaration was endorsed by the

Toronto Globe and fill the other Liberal organs, inclu- ding the Patriot, also without exception or reserva-

Now the self-same Patriot comes out with screech-

ing scare-type, and announces that the self-same Li- beral Leader, has once more belied his own words, and threatens to attempt to use that bloody key to ri- gain office. And his excuse? just as he found in the Tait correspondence an excuse for not ioining in 't recruiting appeal, or permitting any of his followers in the lloiisc to join the Committee on National Ser- vice, so lie alleges he finds in the liordeii-Huglies cor- ' respondence' an excuse for breaking his most solemn declaration sealed with its bloody simile.

The excuse is ton thin. The Liberals have been

after Sir Sam’s scalp since the outbreak of the war. The Globe in its lurid language told us not long since

that to longer retain Sir Sam as Minister would bc one who places a stumbling block in the way of one _

W. Thompson, the well-konwn journalist and Cana- dian correspondent of the Boston Transcript and a staunch Liberalin politics,” has borne ample testimony to this. In view of this, if Sir Wilfrid thinks that he can risk the use of the "bloody key" on the strength of Sir Robe'rt’s record he will'have to reckon with all the Liberals of Mr. Thomson’s calibre and patriotism. Wk need quote only two paragraphs of a letter which

THE CALL FOR MEN

A recruiting campaign, part of a general campaign

throughout Caiiada,and the Empire, has been opened in this province and will be continued until the réin- forcements asked for have been secured and probably during the continuance' of the war, for we are expec- ted, and it is our duty, to keep our units up to full strength till the last blow' is struck. ' It is realized that the need`for men is just as great today as at any time~since the war began, Those in touch with the war ofiices are emphasizing as never before the need of men and more men, and as we read the daily reports of the forward and backward sway- ing of the battle lines on every front we cannot blind ourselves to the seriousness of the situation. We were told at the outset by those who knew most about it that it would require all the resources of the Empire in men and material to save the Empiref

At this juncture, after two and a halt years of

war, after the prompt and willing response of those who did not hesitate to do their bit, it is felt,' that re- cruiting will necessarily be slower than during ttie first flush of enthusiasm. Yet if the need of men is sufficiently apprec`iate_d there is good reason to believe that the present drafts will be filled up without uii~ necessary delay.

n It must be remembered that all young men eligible

for military service and who are still among the ci- vilians arc not slackers; Some of them have come of age since the war began, others have been released from dutiss which prevented their leaving lioiiic and still others have been held back by legitimate causes which by this time have been removed. These, to 11 man, will now avail themselves of the opportunity of ~ fered them and' will don the King’s uniform and ioiii

the ranks of the men.

There are others halting between two opinions,

looking for excuses, hiding behind the skirts of a mother, a wife or some one else. One of the grcat curses of holy writ is that pronounced against tlir:
