HONE DISSATISFIED.

Tenakoe, Mil la Edita. Good morning, Hone; you look worried this morning. Te wahine all been talking pout le case at te court wit (c ranger and Pcpe. They got 1c riri (temper), and py kripe good ling for Chinnny he not live nl te pah —his mother newei' know him in a pout live minutes !

I jilt that's not the pakeha way of; doiii”' tilings, Hone. Tin* by-laws provide dial stock must not graze on the road, ;«id the ranger .had to carry out his duties, and the law does not allow personal violence. Py kripc, I link te law too much bally humbug. IT te pakeha woman give te ranger le smack he newer lake him to court. 1 know. You think the days of chivalry are declining, Hone ! 1 dunno that talk. But le Maori newer lake te wahine to court when he give le man te smack down. Anyhow, why (e Mayor he sit on le Bench. He le boss of le ranger. Te judge of le Land Court he newer sit on (e Bench if lie got te land. You infer that one of the justices being an interested parly, should nol have tried (he case; is that it, Hone/ Tat te talk. Tat no good. But your people should have objected when the case was (-ailed on. In any case 1 don’l think the Mayor would be prejudiced one way or 1 be ot her. Werra, he te boss of ('lummy, and he line i’epe one quid and cost. Tat make my people werry angry. Well, Hone, what do you think of Ibe War now.' 1 link this year see le end alright. Te Cherman can’l light on le empty belly. Three months, .and te Cherman gel le knock-out in France and Belgium. Chimmey Carroll, he been there, and he terra me le .Maori light like le devil. Once te 'Maori he get te Cherman prisoner and te Indian —you know le Goorka —come along and he say, “What you do wit tat man.'" The Maori say fat's his prisoner. Werra, le Ooorka, In- take the small knife and cut te prisoner head off. I'y kripe, when he do tat, te Maori say, "You wait here; 1 go nnd gel allot her." That's very gruesome, Hone. What do you think of the Council elect ion ! “I link he alright if beget te train Vo run ewery day. Te boy be can't go to school at Ivangiolu now, and te milk go sour because too far to take it in te carl to te factory. Why te Council he nol tell le Cowennent he run te train. .Jimmy Stevenson he drive te engine, and Mack he te good fireman, te Mayor he can he le slationmaslcr, Ceorge Coley he te guard, and Tom Henderson te porter. Tat le way he get te boy to school and le milk to ie factory. I link te Council 100 slow, The working of the train is nol the trouble, Hone, it’s a question of coal shortage. Werra, why te Clowerment not get te coal? The miners are opposed to the Military Service Act. They don’t like the men taken away to light our enemies. Tat make me larp. Te (lowerment too much like te slug. Why he not lake te mine and tell te miner it he not get te coal he kick him out lacountry, quick. Plenty other men left to get te coal, isn’t it ! The miners have gone back, Hone, and 1 think the train will soon be running every day. Te Gowerment le bally humbug all le time. He too frighten of le talk of te Bed Fed. Tat’s it. if Chimmy Carrol le Pirimia you get plenty coal, and te railway he newer stop. Py kripe, In- get te coal allright. Tis stop te train no good for te pakeha and Maori. All le storekeeper he can't get te sugar and ITower. only te little bit left, and py kripe he make a big charge. All because te miner say he te big chief and larp and won’t work. Te Gowerment must get te move on te miner. Ewery time! Werra, I must go and see Paukama, and get te korero for te taonga, or te ole woman might give mete slap like Pepe giv te ranger. Ivia Ora!
