A witness in a recent affiliation case in Melbourne remarked that she had intended to drown herself, but changed her mind and went to Geelong. Personally we think we would have hanged ourselves, but there is no accounting for tastes.—Day Dawn Chronicle. The worker in New Zealand is generally an intelligent, thoughtful person, who must know that unreasonable demands are likely to cause trouble which will ultimately fall on himself. It is no earthly use his agitating for high wages when there is no work to earn them at. —Wellington Lance. Sarcasm from Christchurch Truth:— Poor Japan ! Her condition is parlous indeed. Mr E. J. Seddon has his eye on.her. “We have a zone of our own,” he told our reporter, “ and so has Japan.” He added that New Zealand would respect Japan so long as she remained within that zone, and we got what was in our zone. But let Japan move out of her zone, or New Zealand fail to get “ what was in our zone ” (whatever on earth thatmay be), and there is going to be trouble. E. J Soddon won’t stand it. Japan must stop in her zone if she doesn’t want to earn the dire and dreadful displeasure of the only autocrat in this hemisphere. There are two appalling possibilities ever before the eyes of Japan: (1) that she may unintentionally step over R. J. Seddon’s boundary line and get in the wrong zone, and (2) that New Zealand may not get “ what is in our zone.” In either case E. J. Seddon will cease to respect Japan, and will treat that country with humiliating •contumely, and cause her to feel her position keenly. It would be a kindly act of someone to warn Japan at once of the danger she is running.
