Mr George S.ykes, M.P., has been confiding to the Wairarapa Daily Times his impressions of Parliament. He is inclined to exclaim: A "plague o' both your houses." He says that instead of the lower Chamber being a place where the best interests of the country are considered before everything else, where members agree to differ on' broad questions of principle, and otherwise work together for the common good, it is the home of spitefulness, personal animus, political vendettas, unending intrigue. The interests of the State are unhesitatingly sacrificed by the party leaders, if a party advantage is thereby to be gained. The gratification of a personal spite is of immensely greater importance than the settlement of some involved' question of economics. He has come to the conclusion that in the House personalities are placed before politics and party before purity. Any young member who is imbued with an honest desire to do the best he can for the people and his country must be filled with disgust on being initiated into the ways and methods of Parliament, There are a lot of people feeling just like that. SKIN DISEASES, including eczema, pimples, rashes, boils, chilblains, ringworm, shingles, ulcers, old sores have their remedy in Rexona, the Rapid Healer. Sold in triangular pots at Is (id and 3s. Obtainable at Bullock and Johnston's.
