DAILY EDITION

TRYING TO GAG THE
OPPOSITION
Premier Borden has at len-|
gth decided that the opposi- |
tion in parliament be
gagged, as far as discussion on
the naval bill is concerned, so
that the measure may be for-
ced through the house by the

must

government's majority. He
has determined to take this
course, although he has no

mandate from the people to
pass such legislation and al-
though he is quite well aware
that a large proportion, we
believe much the largest pro-
portion, of the Canadian peo-
ple are strongly opposed to
this programme of contribu-
tion. Of course, the proposal
to adopt the closure is now be-
ing discused by the House, and

the Liberals are naturally re-
sorting to every legitimate
means to prevent this auto-

placed in
government

cratic power being
the hands of the
leaders.

In supporting the sugges-
tion that a limit be placed up-
on the debate Premier Borden
said that no one would desire
to prevent fair and reasonable
discussion of the question.
Who is to determine what fair
and reasonable discussion of
the question may be? Is it

Such a trifle as a jail sentence,
however, was not allowed to de-
prive the country of Landry's
service, and his friends boasted
he would soon be free and back
on the job. The department made
arrangements to replace him, but
the local patronage monger wrote
asking delay, as Landry we uld be

home in a few days. This was

less than a month after Landry

started his year’s sentence
Then the Department of Jus-

tice came in. Petitions were sent
the minister declaring that Lan-
dry'’s family needed his support,
and that his health was bad
he might die unless immediately
released for an operation. No
particular effort was made to
discover the facts, and on August
3rd Landry was released by Hon
Mr. White, acting minister of
justice, thus serving 60 days in-
stead of a year.

freedom came a marvel-
Instead of going
to a hospital to have his life
saved by an operation, Landry
hastened to Descousse and start-
ed an operation to raise money as
government wharfinger, his first
step being to send out a bill for
#30, which he offered on behalf
of the government to compromise
for $10 spot cash. Shortly after
he dropped the government serv-
ice and went on a job at the Syd-
ney Steel Works, where his health
gave no indication of the danger
which so opportunely rescued him
from jail.
