PIFFLE !

Mr. A. R. Atkinson would seem to be someone of importance for we find tho "Post" gave him nearly half a column, in which there were not two sensible lines or one sensible thought:_ "They had to cultivate and maintain a respect for law as law; the man who had no respect for law as law was an anarchist or something very like it. He was prepared to support a league whoso object it was to secure a government which would clean up the machinery of government and administer the law exactly as it found it, without fear or favor. (Applause.)" If Mr. Atkinson means anything—l don't think he does; he was only talking—he means that men must obey laws whether they are right or wrong. lam quite sure that he and all his kidney will havo little "respect for law as law" when once tho working-classes make the law. The "Post" printed a column and a half of silly drivel, showing that these people are asking all the rich and middle classes to unite, and the working men of Wellington buy the "Post." Really.
