Sir Jajwes Carroll will address tht electors at Muriwai this evening. Mr. Brindle will speak outside the Tt Hapara school at 8 o'clock this evening .-• Mr J. S.

N ••' Sitting m chambers yesterday afternoon'liis Honor Mr Justice Chapmar granted -probate m the estate of Rbborl Ekglcsori, deceased soldier, to ..Mavj ES&gleson, oii. the mot : on of All* _>. vli. Maim. It is understood that the Gisborne Soldiers* Club, -which -has been conducted by a Citizen^ Committee for about four years, will' be taken over by the Gisborne branch of the Returned Soldiers' Association from December v 20t1i. ... "It is all right to take newspapers, but unfortunately some people do take their views from the capitalistic press. Newspapers should be limited to advertisements," declared Mr Brindle- at Mangapapa. Evidently the candidate docs not relish 'the enlightenmoiit afforded by the press. Six new postage' js tamps, coinmomoiat-. ing tho victory of *th_ AlU\» *a-nd the v-omiug' of peace" Avill be issued shortly. Tho half-penny 'stamp .<i_ green,,' and i-epreseivtsja "recumbent lion, upon which is sitting a figure emblematic, of peace, While the- peilny is a carriihie, with tlie- sanie two ; figures standing. Thb l_d stsuii'p is a" light brown, and' has the tattooed head of :*aX Maori oil the right half: and fern fronds- on the left. On the 3d stamp, Avhich is dark brown, the,' lion -again .appears iii.ia recumbent •attitude, but- tins time the figure is absent, ; and the rays of the rising sun are m the background. The 6d stamp is rose lake irr color, and has a device representing thcAheel .of Peace,. Avith outspread wings./ On the Is stamp, "which isi oraiige, is the' King's headj flanked by heads of lions, .with Miaon carvings ;in tjio top. cofney. All the neAv stamps are doub'.c "the size of. the present issue. • . > , Reference to the. purchase of a steamer by the Poverty Bay Meat Company was made iri the acting-chairman's speech at -the Bank of New .Zeajaji_d meeting at Wellington to-day. ' '.'A most important -question,"' he said, "is that*, of freight facilities after the Government purchase ends. Owing to the •shortage of insulated ships, it Arould seem necessary ' that early steps should be taken ■ with -_'. view' to ensuring that the necessary amount of insulated space shall be available to carry our exports to market, otherwise our producers will be m a very unenviable position. One freezing company has been so impressed with the prpspectiA'e difficulties of the position that it has made the experiment of purchasing a steamer, which it proposes to insulate and utilise to relieve the pressure, so far as its -own particular works are,*'6bnce - rhed.. ' She 7 will ' also, carry wool or other'produce m. her *noninsuiated space. The results of this; experiment wiil, ho doubt, be watched with • interest by other meat freezing convpanies. " According to Mr Aubrey L. Williams, who lectured on "Bolshevism" at the Concert 'Cliamber, and who lived m the midst of it m Petrograd and Moscow m 1917 and part of 1918, the policy of "go sloav" rariked."with profiteering as a capital, offence,, and .many were executed for' thp offence by order -of the Extraordinary Commissions, which were set tip by the Soviet* to repress anything m the nature of counter-reVolutionary action, and "going stow was considered one of the offences against Bolshevik good government. The leoturer also stated with • •great emphasis that no one was more speedily, cured of "Bolshe\'isni" than,, those who might liave been inclined to listen to its teachings, and who had some experience " of it as it existed m Russia* In that respect he quoted the caso of ah Irishman, a friend of his, who was confined for 36 days .m the fortress of St. Peter aaid. St.' Paul, from \ wluch he emerged confessing himself completely cured of, and a confirmed op- i poncnt of, the. Bolshevik doctrine. — Dominion. At the Police Court this morning., before Mr J. S., Barton, S.M., Charles lidward Watson (Mr J. Wauchop) ..pleaded guilty to a chargo- of . assaulting Joseph Hayward at Gu-borrio on November 22. . * Mr W T auchop eaid defendant waa oA-er 60 years of age, and had hit complainant because he had made disparaging remarks about old men. and their capacity to work. Sergt. Clarkson .said .only one blow luid been struck, and the facts were as stated by Mr Wauchop. . His .;Worsliip ; regarded the cririie as not ai serious one and many blows had been struck under similar circumstances. Nevertheless- a man must not take the -law into his own- hands. A fine of 10s. with T3& costs, was imposed. David Middleton was • charged^ Avitli\ being the owner of 'a dog, which, being daug.erous, was not keptj under proper control. His wife appeared to ansAver the charge. Sergt. Clarkson sated the dog had "nsipped'-' -a postman; and had then been allowed: at large. Norman Pocock, the letter-carrier, said tho dog* had bitten him dn the leg. He had seen it at large a week. later, and it rushed at him when he blew "liis whistle. Mrs Middleton said the dog had strayed- to their place as a Xpuppy, arid liad only lately developed aggressive tendencies..' Since receipt of the, summons it -had been, destroyed. His Worship; remarked that this action had given rlise to, the tradition) that a dog Was allowed "one bite. An offence was. complete if after that it AA-as allowed at large. It' >vas an unusuaL offence, arid sufficient punishment had been gi\'en, by' the publicity that would be accorded to tho matter. — A fine of Is, with. 9s costs, was imposed. George Joseph McDonald, , for failing' to', pay- a. nianaiteiiance order to his wife (represented by Mr J. R. Kirk) of £1 10s a w£ek arid having £32 lOs m arrears, was 'ordered to pay £3 at once and £4 a week:. If this Aveekly payment was ,made regularly , up to January 24 his Worship' said he .would consider entering a conviction arid a discharge.
