The wowser j* far and away the most tcrribic initiation that New Zealand has ever yet had; if the misery of thousands of its women and \Voung girls is to lw taken into any account at all. .At .'present i(o'~7Slie"iS sayiiig. anything i'ot- : i'car'of•oiremliiitrlhe"iinco fji.'id;" but allow tho poor-'creatures to suffer' and die like (lies nil over tho Dominion. Take the Kingsland mystery in Auckland as ono instance; five persons arrested, charged--with (he murder of one pcor unfortunate girl. What luis tho Sports League -to say about (hat? Whal is their position, to that other awful thiinj, which (ho "wowsers" have brought upo'n us? OvHi-20011. illegitimate births in (ho year! Mpthcvs , their babes everywhere oi- murdering them!
