The Main Trunk Train.

The Manawatu Times has "come to heel " this morning. In an editorial article, in which for the most part it heaps personal abuse and innuendo upon the Star — which, after all, was the only thing to be expected in lieu of any argument — the Times concludes : — We want, as we have said, to see Feilding retained as a t stopning place. We think that it should be, and we think the action of the Chamber of Commerce is wise, but we don't think that the Star's vapou rings are the sort of thine to secure the desired end. What is wanted is for the deputation to place the case for Feilding so' succinctly and so strongly that all other cons.' derations must give way to it, and that we may be sure the Feilding busines men can do. "The Star's vapourings"! Of course, the lash hurts ! But the people of Feilding know that the

Times is the paper that " says things," and says them neither wisely ' nor well ; whilst the Star is the 4 paper that does things. Even the Times has to take the Star's advice, '. as quoted above. With tho Times on ; their side, the Feilding business pec- ; pie should now feel sure that they will got tho stopping of the trunk train at their station. \
