C.H.R. (Timaru). —Stamps received; thanks. C.W. (St. Albans). —Thanks. Paper sent as advised. W.A.M. (Wanganui).—Too costly to il : lustrate. Item of iigavs scarcely of sufficient interest. H.F.M. (Lake Coleridge).—Siib. paid before we took over paper, and your name is not on subscriber's list supplied by the late editor. Have posted you copies of February and March issues. Please renew subscription— five shillings per annum. G.C. (Lumsden). —Before we took over paper, but your February "Worker" must h&ve gone astray m transit as we are assured it was posted to you. D.M. (Westport). —Hope you received letter and books. Glad you found March a better seller. G.McK. (Auckland). —"Editor cannot guarantee return of rejected manuscripts, but will endeavour to do so if stamps to defray postage are enclosed. A.D.R. (Wellington).—Wishes reciprocated. Will be pleased to consider matter referred to. T.A. (Gisborne). —Don't know the source of the word "tarriff" unless it be from Cape Tariffa, a one-time stronghold of the Moors in North Africa, whence they levied tolls on the merchandise of vessels in the Mediterranean. J.S. (Westport). —Your sneer at Irishmen is unworthy of a Man. We have met many a "raw Irish youth" Avith more poetry in his little finger than, judging from samples sent, you appear to have in your whole mental and physical "make up." J.T.P.

(Rotherham). —Thanks for selected verses sent. They may be used as occasion arises. A.J.C. (Okuku). —There may be much truth in Avhat you say about bad New Zealand whisky and worse substitutes but not having sampled it we cannot corroborate.

In saying Mr. McNab Avas "no politician" he was paying that gentleman a compli-n-en. A politician, so far as our experience goes, is a person who, before election, misrepresents himself; and after election misrepresents the people. M.L. (Christ-church). —We have nothing to add to what we said when you called Avith Mr. Cdstello. You seemed satisfied then, and cannot understand your desire to re-open the question. "Lyme Dror" (Hammersmith, London). —Glad to see your hand o' Avrite. You Avould. see from March issue that the ''scheme" had materialised. Anything from you Avill have the usual courtesy. Your "crambo clink Avill see the light of day in another place. "A Worker" (Ti Nui), M.R. (Coalgate), C.McM. (Waihi). —Subs received. E.J. (East Oxford). —Good. Have noted for further issues. MC.
