When Duncan Ross mentioned the name of Brewster at the Liberal meeting Thursday night there was a spontaneous burst of applause. It must be pleasant reading for Mr. Brewster, the lonely champion of public rights in the Victoria halls of legis- lation, to find that his name is so well and so favorably known here, in this far-away corner of the province. Bold words and brave deeds carry far. “How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.” That is the kind of a world by which Mr. Brewster is sur- rounded, and in that world he is not only the representative of a solitary constituency but is also one of the three representatives the Liberals of this constituency have upon the floor of the House. We know Mr. Brewster as a brainy man and a clever speaker. As a sample of his style we give the following excerpt from a recent speech, not alone for its style but because the subject matter must have a deep interest for all our Liberal readers. He was speaking to a resolution patting Premier Borden on the back for the “better terms’’ proposition and he said: “Is this House, Conservative as it is, with three members alone in opposition, going to follow the lead ef the premier in this line of trickery—possibly the premier might object to the expression.” The Speaker—-It is not a parliamentary word. Mr. Brewster—I might say, then, political chi- canery. The Speaker—That is equally improper. Mr. Brewster—Then I withdraw both, but I must say that this resolution is so patently and so apparently an attempt to catch the votes of those who will un- thinkingly accept these long-winded phrases as some- thing of weight that it is our duty to tell the premier that if he means business he must do some- thing and let him cease merely talking. I was taken to task the other day by the Attorney General for re- ferring slightingly as he thought to the premier. We had the premier yesterday dealing with the name of a man who stands head and shoulders above any other public citizen in the Dominion of Canada in a manner which, had I used the same language from this side of the House, I would have been called to order for by the speaker, so I suppose it is all right. We were told by the premier that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had practiced duplicity and I did not hear him called to order. The Speaker—He was not referring to a member of this House. Mr. Brewster—When the premier refers to a man occupying such an exalted position not only in the Do- minion but also the Empire at large, and I may say the world, and talks about that right honorable gentleman in such a manner that he can use the word duplicity, 1 think I would be right in calling him to order and it would be for him to apologize for his language, as I do not think even he can put his finger on any act in the whole political history of Sir Wilfrid where that word can be applied in any sense. Iam sorry the first min- ister of the province should go so far as to make such statements, The best information to hand in regard to the provincial ‘election is that the prorogation will take next Tuesday and will be followed almost immediately by dissolution, the writs to be issued at once for a general election to be held on April 12th. THE LIE THAT IS HALF TRUTH. “An election campaign serves the purpose of exemplifying from how many different aspects a critical opposition can view ‘actions of a government,’ was the sage introduction to the edi- torial of the morning paper this mornin.g It takes a good part of a column to demonstrate this but it succeeds. The subject upon which it is hung is the statement of Duncan Ross that there is but one licensed hotel between Hazelton and Aldermere, and of course there is a glorious puff for the McBride govern- ment for restraining its “‘graflting propensities’? in this regard, ‘rag its policy is to restrict or prevent the sale of liquor during railWayagonstruction, The lie that is half a truth is ever the blackest. “Government officials, according to Mr. Ross, ignored the lesser graft of licensing for the more profitable one of blind piggiig. Here is what Mr. Ross is quoted as having said on this subject: Yet between Hazelton, and Aldermere there was but one licensed house and no«traveler could get decent accommodation on that road, But ahere were seven blind pigs, with dirty beds and bunks, Mnning openly, selling whisky freely, run solely for the selling of whisky. — ” . ™ ——_ —————— Convention of Liberals! —__..
