It was not the Canadian flag, but the one which has “braved a thousand years, the battle and the breeze” ing the last election. victory and the patriot Sir Wilfrid now benches. No doubt Mr. flag just now, and Bourassa declares nice how-dye-do? It was only the other day the administration decided a new flag for the Canadian navy. This was an admission upon! their part, possibly without consulting Bourassa, that there a Canadian navy. But Mr. Bourassa declares in his newspaper, | like the bad boy he is, that there isn’t going to be no navy. No, he is going to wipe it off the slate and the map. He going to move for the repeal of the naval bill enacted by the late Govern-| ment. And he is not going to wait for the Borden Government) to do it either, but will do it himself right away. The name of his newspaper is “Le Devoire,’’ which being interpreted means The Duty. Perhaps it is not strange that Bourassa and his followers| should consider it their duty to wipe out the Canadian and all | other flags but the one which represents the nationality from which they sprung. It may be that the “duty” to which the leader of the Nationalists pledged himself, that of wiping out the navy, is merely for the purpose of wiping out the new naval flag. When the navy is wiped out the flag goes with it. Next he will haul the flag of Canada and in its place flaunt to the Canadian breeze a new device, sits on the opposition Borden would like to wave the C but can he? Bourassa says he certainly that what HE goes.

He is sealed, so to speak, to the service. The spirit and the bride say come, but the Hon. Dick will not come until he gets the Department of Public Works. He wants that—no more, no and of course he can’t have it until Monk steps out. When that happens Premier McBride may be coaxed out of his little British Columbia flower pot and then we shall see how big he really is.” Another very capable writer, couver Saturday has parliamentary experience as a writer but a thorough knowledge of the personality Mr. McBride, takes up this and remarks that “Dick McBride would never stand the ness and he knows it well.’ He goes on: “He knows his limitations very Bride not big enough for British advancing standards of this province are behind.
