WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1914. THE RED FEDERATION.

Let all the ends thou aimest at be; thy country’s Thy God’s, and truth’s.

Probably the best evidence of. the wisdom of the attitude taken :Up'by the Massey, government at the titu%of the strike, is presented by the the absolute disrepute into which the Federation of Labor has fallen since that strike collapsed. Before that event the "Beds" were stalking victoriously about the land assuming a .right that no civilised country can grant to any body of men, the right to defy law and order and constitutional government and set up )a labor tyranny. That leading Liberal politicians were not'ashamed to pander to such a spirit was evidenced by Dr (then Mr) M'Nab's telegram to. Mr E. C. Webb, one of the foremost of the militant crew, to go in and win the Grey seat, and that action of the gentleman in question should not be forgotten next election. But what of to-day ? " Now none so poor as do them reverence." The great " Professor " Mills, first the apostle of peace and then the evangelist of war, has shaken the pestiferous dust of law aud order from his syndicalist feet, and like Thatcher, bidden farewell to the " land of rabbits and cockatoos." The Bed Federation is to-day entirely discredited and repudiated in labor circles themselves. Much of thecrodit for this ljappy state of affairs is due to the v Massey government, and the blustering..»attempts of men of the Aimore and Busscll type, to take the from the government will not have the slightest weight with thiuking people, though, they may appeal to mere party, camp followers. The fact is that by absolutely selling the law-breaking party at defiance, and affording the necessary protection to those who came forward to see that a few desperate illinformed malcontents backed by the criminal scum of Wellington, did not hold up the trade and industries of tho Domfuioii, the government, in one stroke, destroyed the prestige those men had got through the weak pandering of various previous ministries j and did one of the most signal services ever rendered to New Zealand. That the " Bed Feds " will do their best to . destroy the government which made impossible such terrorism as they proposed to establish, is certain, and that very fact should cause all who love law and order to keep a watchful eyo on the next election. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

Mr D. T. Fleming informed the Otago Education Board -at the last meeting that a deputation had waited upon the Hon. James Allen in connection with accommadation for secondary education at the Alexandra District High School, and that the Minister had said that, while anxious to meet the requirements of secondary education in the district, he did not want to incur expenditure in the erection of buildings that might not be necessary; wherefore he suggested that the board should consider the question and report how the requirements could be best {and most economically) met. , The board resolved to instruct the architect to go into the matter whether a new building was necessary or whether necessities could not be met by adding to and arranging the existing building; his report to be forwarded to the Minister as soon as possible. . . « GREAT SHIPS REQUIEE DEEP WATERS!"

Evidently " Roddy " Mackenzie will not have it all his own way in Motueka. A visit paid there recently by Mr A. A, Paapc, the Eeform organiser, revealed the fact than no less than six aspirants were in the field as Eeform candidates. At a conference of delegates over 40 attended from all parts of the district, and all the candidates agreed to abide by the choice of conference which fell upon Mr E, P.

A smart arrest which reflects considerable credit upon Constablo Mackenzie, of Ophir, was made .at Omakau on Monday, Ist of -June. Mr Patrick Lewis, the well-known carrier, had a snm of £3O stolen from him and reported tl le matter to Constable Mackenzie just as the morning train for Dnnedjn arrived, jn the few minutes that elapsed bptwepn the arrival and departure of that traju (he panstable spotted and arrested the thief who ?ras; about to leave the district, aud also recovered the whole of the stolen money.

Tho following local from Saturday's Otago Daily Times refers to the "Alpha. Sprayer," which we have been advertising :An interesting demonstration was given in Messrs Murary, Eoberts and, Co.'s store yesterday afternoon, when a' new type of fruit sprayer—the combination " Alpha ''—was shown to a large gathering of orchardists. This sprayer, which has a capacity of about 40 gallons, is worked by compressed air, assisted by a force pump, the principle of operation being to charge a chamber with a supply of spraying fluid and air. When the supply of fluid in this chamber requires replenishing, this is done by means of tho force pump from a supply tank, so that the same air pressure in the chamber is used again and agaiu. Two men can spray off the same machine by taking it in turns .to replenish the supply of fluid while the other continues spraying. The orchardists present \t tho demonstration were greatly interested in tho practical working of tho machine. " ■
