JOURNALISTIC CRITICISM?
Our respected Wellington contemporary the "New Zealand Times," which is to-day an ably conducted journal, and fights strenuously, although most mistakenly, for the Ministerial cause, refers in its issue of yesterday to an article which appeared in the Wairarapa Age on Monday last. Our contemporary is not unused to the work of twisting—the performance of its duty frequently demands political acrobatic feats of a very surprising and at times of a somewhat alarming character—and with an ease, which habit has made quite natural, it avers that we fail "to realise that indignation is not politically valuable unless it is the genuine article drawn from the well-springs of human emotion." The "Times" quotes the word "indignation," and ■ we assume therefore that the "indignation," to which it refers is not genuine indignation at all. After this we must leave our i contemporary to emerge as best it \ can from the maze in which it has so j humourously placed itself.
