"Truth" has already had occasion to expose upon the pillory of its displeasure an- unpatriotic- -Wesleyan parson named A. D<3n, who disfigures the- landscape I of South Alexandra . with his sombre-clad carcase. Don thinks more of the leprous Chinese alien than of the white race, and although it .is improbable he would give has sister or daughter /m marriage to one of the slan-treyed horrors, he defends theY .degradation of the white race by indiscriminate and criminal intermarriage with an inferior race. On second thoughts "Truth" is not sure if the despicable Don wouldn't sacrifice his womankind to the sensual Oriental if it would further .Ms fanatical views on the Chinese question, Brutal parsons of this description' ought to be muzzled and placed, under restraint m the interests of morality and a pure racial strain m \ the ■ Creator's own country. The calamitous Don has entered intio a heated correspondence with, one or two patriots m the Dunedin panerS, and m the course of one letter, he remarked :—. "Mr Mason says that Mr Terry acted as he did owing to 'his observation and study of the growing menace to the (British) race involved m the mixing and intermarriage of-Brit-on and Mongolian.' The Boxers m China acted as they did owing to their belief that Europeans were a menace to their race. So Mr Terry and the Boxers are equally 'patriots. 1 The Boxers murder some pioneers of Christian civilisation, and all Europe sends its armies to execute vengeance. Mr Terry murders an old Chinese man, and Mr Mason proposes 'a national petition' for his release ! Our little Dominion will not make itself so supremely ridiculous. Here, let me say that MiTerry's observation and study must have been of the shallow, .globe-trot-ting order, if he did not find that the. moral injury done by Europeans m China is vastly greater than that done by Chiaese m European countries and dependencies. Christian 'mispiQßMito' kaYfe * W« .-task to

counteract what their fellow^ountrymen have done." This paper doesn't hold a brief for •Lionel Terryi whose brain-warped views on the Chinese question tempted him. to take a human life, m the hope that this beautiful country of the south should be roused to a realisation of the 'slow alien invasion, but it objects to the miserable Ah Don attempting to make a right out of two wrongs. In this luminous journal's opinion the Boxers are quite, justified m passing out the boodle-huntifve- "pioneers of Christian civilisation,'' who are attempting to run China, and of whom the weakheaded missionary is the advance ag-, ent. It. is the power-craving church to which Don belongs that is responsible for the massacres m China. Advancing with a Bible m one hand and a rifle m the other, Britain, m common with the other Powers, is fighting for the yellow man's country, and the Jew-owned Motherland is deadening the brain of her victims with opium as she proceeds. The part played by the Church m. this horrible conquest is a disgrace; to humanity, and "Truth" is not astonr is-hed to find an odd Boxer or two dismembering an occasional missionary, who is recognised as the thin end of the accursed foreign wedge. It is the consummate cheek of. drivelled Don that this paper most strenuously deplores when the Alexandra plate-skinner 'holds 'that because the sanctimonious British capitalists rob the inhabitants of Chowland, therefore New Zealand should open her doors to the 'grinning white woman spoiler from the East. . New Zealand has no objection to the admission of Chinamen to Britain, but we are not going to pay for the follies of a blood-thirsty Church, which' sacrifices its women missionaries to the nameless horror of residence with an immoral- people, by 'throw-ing our doors open td the scum of Asia. Another quotation from devil-dodging Don's levered letter :— "Mr Wright, endorses, Mr Terry's idea 'that the fitting place for Chinamen is m China.' Just so. And the fitting place for the Englishman is m England, for an Irishman m Ireland, for a Scotsman m Scotland. What nonsense!" Certainly the place of /the Englishman, Irishman, or Scotsman is not m China, and this fact should be recollected when the hat is passed round for thrummers to support the sending of missionaries to. Pekin to rouse a treacherous race to acts of bloodshed and violence. v New Zealand has ho, desire 'to' enter the Chinaman's countnr. and reserve's the right to exclude the 'loathsome pigtailed persons' from its , shores. It should also pass a law making provision for the deportation of reverend persons like shekel-snaring Don, who want the country given over to the Chinaman and" the Jap. "The day will come," remarks the Alexandra wowser, "perhaps sooner than most of us imagine, when, if the Chinese wish to come to New Zealand, not £100 nor ,100 English words, nor even 100 British Dreadnoughts will hinder them." Hark to that, ye people of New Zealand, and ponder, well upon 'it. When the yellow hosts arrive, a treacherous reverend) person of the Don type will welcome them at the 1 heads, and indicate to the rabble the plumpest of Madriland's daughters,who' will be sacrificed on the lustful altar of our conquerors. : What are the people ef Alexandra doing that they permit a morally-deformed dribbler of the Don type to live m their rriidst ? . , ■
