We can't have " A White New Zealand " unless the Premier contemplates a war of extermination against the Maoris, and it would be kind of that very great man with the length of the alphabet after his name, if he referred less violently to the matter in the presence of the Native Minister, James Carroll. - Foxton "Herald."

The Premier should lose no time in introducing legislation to prevent the electors being deprived of their triennial opportunity to vote on the licensing question by any political crisis necessitating an earlier appeal to the constituencies. — Petone "Chronicle."

No compensation for accident law can be fair to either employer or employed unless equity and good conscience be important elements. The tendency already displayed in the interpretation of the New Zealand Acts is to take every advantage of quibbles. — Nelson " Mail."
