EVERYBODY REA a 99 EVERYBODY TAKE THE “TIMES.” EVERYBODY GET EVERYBODY’S NEIGHBOURS TO TAKE THE “TIMES.” WHY? 1. BECAUSE THE “ TIMES ” IS ALIVE. Everybody interested in it Is alive. Everybody that writes for it is alive. Every member of the staff, from the reporter to the Chief, thinks of live things, looks tor news concerning live things, talks about live things, is himsolt alive. The “Times” is not interested in coffins; it is devoted to cradles, . READ THE “TIMES.” 2. BECAUSE THE “TIMES” IS UP-TO-DATE. Its news is up-to-date. Its editorials are up-to-date: its philosophy and its politics are up-to-date. No share of its editorials is taken from a IJtli Century Encyclopedia. There is “nothing of Greece or Rome in its editorials. There is a good deal about New Zealand. 3. BECAUSE IT STANDS FOR THE USEFUL PEOPLE. It defends the useful against the useless. Ninety-nine per cent, of the people ' in New Zealand are useful people. There are other papers for the one per c .t., owned by the one per cent., controlled by the one per cent., used in behalf of the ono per cent., for the purpose of promoting the interests of those who do nothing that is useful, but only “do v those who are useful. If you are of any usej 'Times is your paper. That is why you should read the “Times. 4. WHY SHOULD THE FARMER READ THE “TIMES”? (a) The farmers need better roads. The “Times” will fight for better roads in the only way the better roads can ever come. (b)«banners need better markets. The “Times” will fight to eliminate every needless middleman who stands between the farmer and the market in whicn he sella hia products, and from which ho purchases his supplies. (c) The farmer needs better machinery, and more of it for the same money. The only’programme by which he can get it is presented and defended in the “Times.” (d) The farmer should be saved from unjust taxation. The “Times” will-fight Ins battles, cut dan n his taxes, and increase his opportunities,, (o) 11/e farmer needs land, not so much in the back blocks as in the front blocks, within reach, of the markets, within reach of the schools, within reach of the reasonable advantages of modern life; and ho ought to get the land when he has paid for what it has cost in human labor to provide the advantages that he gets when ho gets the land. _ihe only clace whore this programme is stated, defended, and fought for is in the Times. The farmer would better read the “Times.” 5. WHY SHOULD THE EDUCATORS READ THE “TIMES”? It is the only newspaper in New Zealand constantly urging that which is most advanced in modern education. The only one which pleads for full political rights for the teachers, a voice in the management ot / the schools by those who do the work within the schools, an extension of the advantages mf the schools to all adults. Physical _ culture, mental training, medical attendance—-best bodies best minds, best character for all the people, that is the ideal of the educator; that is what the “Times” is fighting for. That is why the educator ought to read the “Times.” t. WHY SHOULD THE PROFESSIONAL WORKERS generally read the “Times”?' The “Times” is the only paper anywhere which recognises professional men, the physician, the surgeop, the solicitor, the civil engineer, as being real workers, as belonging to the ranks of those who get a living because they earn it and do not get it unless ' they do earn it. It is the only paper which these workersi to- all other workers of every sort, and stands for the rights and in-: tereats of professional workers along with all the rest. All men and' women who live because of what they do, find a spokesman on their behalf in the “Times.” They should read the ‘-“Times. 7. WHY SHOULD THE CHURCH WORKERS READ THE “TIMES”? These workers are striviug to extend the things which are good and just, to make New Zealand a better country, clearer and cleaner and gladder. That is what the “Times” is fighting for. Church workers had better read the paper which is on their side. 8. WHY SHOULD THE TRADE UNIONISTS READ THE “TIMES”?; It is the only paper in New Zealand which gives every day a pagoj to the interests of the organised workers. It is the only paper which calls upon the organised workers of every portion of the country to get together, to get busy, to state what it is they are after, and that! offers to every one of them the most effective defence for every just| and rational demand of the worker. 9. WHY SHOULD THE TRANSPORT WORKERS READ THE| “TIMES”? Because the seamen furthest away from home will be defended in their absence. Because the railway men will be defended in their fight, against class distinctions in the service, in favour of a fight for direct promotion to the highest places in the service for proven merit, for capacity only. Because political rights in every public service ought to be restored to the public servant. Because • the whole transportation service should bo made a single service, eflectively organised to render the best service to the community, with equal opportunities and just rewards for every transport worker in the land. That is what the transporT workers want: that is what the “Times” is fighting for. That is ivhy they should read the “Times.” • \ YO. WHY SHOULD THE GENERAL LABORERS READ THE “TIMES” ? Because the United Labor Party is the only Labor organisation in the world which gives to the unskilled workers in sll the trades the same standing and representation in its national organisation as is provided for .any industry of any sort whatsoever, and because the “Times” besides defending* this position of tha | United Labor Party contends that every general laborer in the land; should be given opportunity for attending school and achieving efficiency entitling him to promotion to the highest grades or service as rapidly as he shall qualify for advancement. That is what the general laborer wants. That is what the “Times” is fighting for.. That is why he should read the “Times.” 11. WHY SHOULD THE SKILLED AVORKERS READ THE “TIMES”? Because it defends the position that every trade should be organised I by itself, should bo in a position to defend its own interests, to fi^ht) its own battles, to look after its own affairs, _and that all trades, in-/ dustries, and occupations should combine to gfve their joint support ta* . those matters of joint concern to all the workers. If the skilled. > trades are to be promoted,, and skilled workers given the fruits off, their skill in labor as well as rewarded for labor, the programme «.f I the “Times” must be supported. 1 That is what the “Times” stands' for. That is why the skilled workers should read 1 the “Times.” 13. WHY SHOULD THE HOUSEWIVES READ THE “TIMES”? The United Labor Party was the first organisation anywhere on earth to recognise household services as a share of the real and important work of the world, and the household workers as important factors in the industrial and commercial life of the world. The thousand things that concern women will be studied, and their interesta win) be defended in these columns. Their organisation is the most impor-; tant factor in tho fight against increased host of living. Tho battlo l is going to be fought in these columns. Bt is being fought in these columns. The housewives must read the “Times.’' 13, WHY SHOULD THE STUDENT, THE APPRENTICE, THE; YOUNG AND UNRELATED WORKERS, READ THE TIMES”?! Because in these columns the battlo is fought out daily in their be-! halt. Wider industrial opportunity, a better chance for employment, a higher skill in work, easier access to the land, better opportunities for establishing industrial enterprises of their own, better chances for getting on to the land or for getting into business, all these are involved in the work of the United Labor Party. For all these reasons the useful people of New Zealand must read the “New Zealand Times.” You will enjoy it better, you will appreciate it more, you will be more certain to read it, if you take to buying the paper, if you read your own paper, - if you have it sent to your own house.
