MR SEMPLE AND “THE VOICE OF LABOUR.”

[to the editor.] (By Arrangement). Sir, —I was amused on Saturday nigVit to see how energetic Bob Semple got. Hididn’t seem to like the article which hu-. been extracted from the Labour orgai . “The Voice of Labour,” and which has appeared in your columns, but what I cannot understand is why did Bob g-'t so angry because it appeared in your columns? It appeared in “The Voice of Labour” over a month ago, but Bob didn’t get busy about it. Perhaps fie thought it was as well to let sleeping dogs lie, relying upon the fact that “1 he Voice of Labour” is not read in this district by a great number outside the ra> l>s of the Labour Party, and the article in question could not, therefore, do him or his nursling very great harm. By thq way, Bob might tell us the next time he spouts how he likes acting as wet nurse t > P. C. Webb and whether in the unimaginable event happening of P. C. Webb being elected, whether wet nurses are allowed within the precincts of Parliament with their nurslings. Bob might also let us know whether he used the verbal garbage attributed to him in the local columns of “The Voice of Labour.” It is about time he denied it. Yours, etc.,— QUERY.
