IDIOTIC INCONSISTENCIES.

TO THE EDITOE.

Sir,—- 'As- a regular reader of your paper I wish 'to protest at. the inconsistency of our Government m regard to the totalisator and bookmakers, . also allowing railway men to lay lines at the Dunedin Station 01 a Sunday and at the same time fine a bricklayer who built a chimney •on a Sunday at Waipahi. It is about time some consistency was shown by our Government and I have no doubt each and all will get it from our new Ministry and Members of Parliament. I hope you will strain every effort against the inscansistency I have mentioned. If thinp-s are allowed to «"o on m this way New Zealand will be a good place to get out of, as I can see no fair play m allowing Jockey Clubs the automatic gambling machine, at the same time sending men to gaol for bettin* on racecourses. It is really absurd. You will-; only, have to read Magistrate

Bishop's comments m the "Lyttelton Times," of the 22nd August, alsoM.H.R. Arnold's remarks at a meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association held recently, to show they are of the same opinion as myself and thousands more true Britishers who believe m British:, justice while living under -the British•flao;. — I am, &c.
