(Special to The Daily News)

Vancouver, April 19.—A seri-

shots point blank at him and the
other attacked him

striking him on the head and

with an iron

seeming quietly confident that the
bill would not get too far. That
is to say, it could be stopped this
side of the ocean by the Senate
or on the other side, say by Lord
Kitchener.

Besides its good feeling toward
the soldiers the government is
credited with three other motives
in bringing in the bill. One is that
it might whip into line a certain
influential Montreal newspaper
which makes a habit of foaming
at the mouth on this subject; an-
other is that every litttle helps in
the campaign of super-loyalty

dulged in no wild transports of
enthusiasm. He avoided purple
rhetoric, smothered the _ thing
with long sentences and one way
and another took most of the nip
out of it. The best he could was
“to earnestly and sincerely
ommend the principle of the bill,”
which was what you might call
faint praise from an official spon-
You see the Minister of Jus-
tice has a reputation for level-
headedness and he doesn’t want to
ruin it by crying up leaky tubs.

No doubt, too, Mr. Doherty con-
sidered that they had gone far
enough in treating it as a govern-
ment measure insteading of put-
ting it in the hands of a private
members on the government side
and treating it as a public bill en-
titled to the usual amount of sup-
port which the government gives

reason the bill was held back un-
til the closing days of the session.

or not.

loves to dwell on what R. F. would
have done with it if they had
given him the chance. Oh, that

“King or Kaiser, which?” he
would exclaim at the proper

a Union Jack from his tail pocket,
warm himself in its folds and the
patriots would break into the Na-

National ‘Treasury, as has been
the case recently.

As it was the Calgary man came
in somewhere near the finish when
the debate had erawled into the
cellar and the best he could do
was to provoke a burst of wrath
from Frank Oliver, who asked,
among other things: \, “Why
should we trust this government
with the soldiers’ votes when we
can't trust them with the sol-

mo-

diers’ boots?” Well, there may
be something in that. At all
events it will give the reader

pause, This was the only flash of
heat in the discussion, both sides

 

about to pull off; and the third is
that it may constitute another
grievance against the Liberal ma-
jority in the Senate. In fact,
some persons go so far as to say
that the bill would never have
been thought of if there had been
no Liberal majority in the Sen-
ate. The bill, in spite of repeat-
ed tinkerings, by the Minister of
Justice, is as full of imperfections
as a ketchup-strainer is of holes
and there is a grave suspicion
that it was built that way to lure
the Senate on. The Senate is an
