EDITION =a WEEKLY FOR POPULAR GOVERNMENT. The Hamilton Herald that the only real motive of the Liberals in resisting the naval bill is a desire to get back to power. The Herald professes to be independent, and really exercises a great deal of inde- pendence. Why, then, should it echo a purely partisan view of the conduct of the Liberal party? Why not give the Lib- erals credit for a sincere de- sire to uphold the historie Lib- eral principle of self-govern- ment? But if the Liberals do hope that they could win a general election on the issue of self- government, what that mean? It means that they be- lieve the people of Canada are in favor of self-government and would reject the Borden policy as dangerous to self-govern- ment. In other words, the Lib- erals desire that self-govern- ment and popular government shall prevail. If, on the other hand, the people are willing to surrender their hard-won lib- says does 50 cents per inch.

The Globe says the most serious feature of the wasteful alienation car- could be found there was no assuring reply.
