THE WAGES OF SIN.
A neat point was scored off an interjector by Dr. W. H. Horton, Coalition. United candidate for Auckland East. “The only thing the present Government has not taxed is the wages of sin,” called out a member of the audience. “I don’t know anything about that,” returned the candidate, with a .smile. “The wages of sin is death. My patients are like true love—they never die.” THE AXE AND THE MAN. Newcomers to politics are apt to fail to appreciate the fact that a lone voice usually cries fruitlessly in the Parliamentary wilderness. “I want you to send me up to Parliament, and to send me with a tomahawk, and I will clear off some of those dead branches,” said Mr 0.-Todd, dependent Reform candidate at Lawrence, when referring to wasteful Government expenditure.
