Wants us to do Things.

A CHEERFUL. CORRESPONDENT.

HINTS FOR THE USEFUL,

An electric, likeable correspondent makes us wish we were a human octopus in structure if not in tastes. His advice is good, and having noted it, it is good to pass on, hoping its points will not be without result:

"Hansard is a perfect farce. Get Hansard No. 21, September 24 to 26. See how Harris, M.P., has altered his proofs from the excerpt you printed. He knew he had put his foot in it. Do get this number and read speeches on Wnihi. You get what the papers carefully leave out. Some fine speeches and straight talk on behalf of the men.' I really think it would pay. to keep an eye on Hansard and pttblish the bits the press leave carefully alone. Here is a gem from Bradney, M.P., No. 21, p. 411: "... And whenever it took two to commit a breach of the law —that is, where two parties were concerned, the employer and the employee—invariably the employer was fined £5 and the employee 55." How is that for a barefaced, unblushing lie? Poland has a fine speech, in which he speaks out the truth for the men of Beefton and Waihi.

"Make the anti-conscription hotter than ever. How would it do to publish a list of people who do not want to fight themselves, but want to shelter behind a lot of boys—Massey, M.P., Allen, M.P., Fisher, M.P.P And then follow on with business people in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, etc., etc. Send home information to the press. This is gall to the Wament. tfrge the boys to refuse! cWll in detention barracks. Let them tie down on floor, in fact anything to'thwart the authorities. Work up all the unions to pass and repnss resolutions against conscription. Give a list, if possible, of the wealth owned by some leading people, and ask is it tihis we have to protect. Point out how many lade will <rer see three pounds a week. Show up the unemployment now in the colony, and show the move on foot to add to that by immigration. You are doing splendidly, arid all the brains is not possessed by Fat and Co. Far from it. Keep up the cartoons, which are Al. Hurry up into a daily. It could be done to-morrow if the unions wished. lam doing my bit, and remain,

A WELL-WISHER.

,f P.S.—Trv and get 'Smouldering. Fires," by 'Rtissell, through Gordon and Goteh, and Teview.

"P.P.B. —Get the Hansard and show what somo M.P.'s think on the Waihi strike. Keep Payne going; it is good."
