WANTED, A LIBERTY LEAGUE.

When the Ward Government, fiphtin,. despairingly for a longer tenure of tk. Treasury benches, threw our English tradition to the winds and fathered the present f: «-nT Act it produced a monster which destroy it, and placed galling shackles on the community which robbed us of our British freedom. In attempting to placate the able they made a fatal error of judgment. XV intolerants considered with some justification that the sporting community were placed under their heel and thus began that tryanny whiel developed into the reign of terror "which exist; to-day. From being the most English of thr Dominions, we have degenerated into a fearstricken community dominated by opmeaeve un-English legislation. The Cromwelliaa environment has made us a gloomy people, even our footballers being described as and hard. Our sense of humoUr appears -to have gone. When a certain prominent damman recently suggested that the dolls he snatched from the arms of the girl because it tended to make them deceitful Httie wretches, we never even smiled, although ia other parts of the world the ground would have rocked with laughter. The formation of a real liberty league to remove the present irksome restrictions on liberty and to prr 11 al further attacks on British" freedom through intolerant legislation should receive the support of every fair-minded elector in the counter. The burden is more than the people can bear and a return to the British path of justice is overdue. BRITISH JUDGE.
