Good Right Through.

"The Maoriland Worker," tinder the ■editorship of Comrade R. S. Ross, ia a welcome addition to our exchange list. Looking at the paper, one feels glad that Comrade Ross has more room to spread, his literary wings. That he does this to good purpose is evidenced by the issue under notice. It is good right through ; crisp, bright, sparkling, with the hall mark of spontaneity that marked every earnest paragraph Jie ever wrote, graved specially deep on the editorial column. As in Broken Hill, so m his new sphere of action, R S. Ross, in the editorial chair, must ue a big power, a decisive figure in the struggle that every day brings nearer all over the industrial world. In the transition j>eriod in which we live it is hard to estimate the tremendous possibilities that lie behind the combination of a thinking brain, a live human heart, and a fearless pen ; but the time appioaehcs when such possibility must start into such vivid realities as will sweep public misconceptions and shame, commercial, social, and every other kind, off the face of the earth. The issue, as already remarked, is a good one, and one is somehow pleased to see some of the names that are homewords this side the water, contributing to its goodness.
