Heard and Said.

That on Sunday night next Wellington Socialists will hold a monster antimilitarist demonstration in His Majcst3''s Theatre. That Keir Hardies for tho plucky miners of South Wales ought "to meet with a ready response. That Maorilanders could do better subscribing "to working-class "agencies than hoosting-up by financial aid tli© lickspittle Fresh Air Fund. That '"Spectator's" remarks in this issue should greatly interest all miners and likewise all Feder U.'O-ii.vts. That because of what ~che Ft.'.] .J , . 'a lu.n of, Labor is doing—work in value bigger than mountains of gold—the toilers must ungrudgingly fling money into its colters. That hard as it i.s to deny for workers , organisation, only by self-denial can betterment be secured, and "the sinews of war" are imperative. That the Waihi miners will have behind them the best wishes and support of militant workers should a. fight be unavoidable.

That the Wellington bootmakers have decided to affiliate -with, Vie N.Z. Federation of JLabor and leave the Bootmakers' Federation. That the "Waihi folk whose loyalty takes the shape of singing the blasphemous "Gorsav" are more to be pitied than .blamed.

That to get 300 to vote against military training at a hot meeting, even though the protest was defeated, speaks commeiulably for Waihi grit and intelligence. That tho railway in en will do well to keep on keeping on against the detestable '"spy" and "pimp" system of espionage. That as this paper predicted. Joe Ward has been glorifying "butcher" Kitcliener, and, generally speaking, rioting in frenzied Imperialism. That in prohibiting rational concerts on Sundays, the N.S.W. Acting-Chief Secretary (Labor) merely attests his religious bigotry.

That no cheekier claim was ever made> than that of the so-called "religious' , to monopolise tho Sabbath made for man and not for the intoleraiits alone.

That the toast of "The Army and Navy" was honored at the Farmers' Union Conference's dinner, and shows how hopeless such a Union is, and how capitalistic, whilst the catspaw and ridden of Capitalism. That the Dunedin hyphenated parson who wants so-called "defectives" sterilised and a house of detention for illegitimate mothers, and the application of the curfew bell, is aparson who shouldn't .be allowed to Avantonly influence goody-goody ' 'respectables" without getting a bump. and a heavy one at that. That '"one King, one Navy," can never be, for if it could be the whole wide world had learnt nothing by experience. That from the . beginning every nation which has tried the "one Ring, one

Navy," ambition, lias bitten tbo dust —yet Sir Joseph Ward and other bouncers go on accelerating the madness which, ends in extinction—and gain approval in their madness. That the note of "to the bitter end' , is one to make hats come off to the Cambrian minors.

That the Imperial Conference lias no meaning for the working-class, which realises that boundaries have ceased to be territorial and are now economic.
