RANGITIKEI’S INDEPENDENT
Sir, —Who can deny tho convenience of independence? How convenient must tho Bolshevist husband find the matrimonial independence of his creed. What a profitable game the independent Chinese general must find his saleable loyalty! What a sporting life tho bootlegger has with his independence of the law! And, oh, how we admire the chap that is with us but is indenendont of the others. How nice to have no debts of honour because you’re it.dependent! llow nice, with the chain that’s round your neck, to have the other end within your pocket! Give me no men as friends to bind me. Just measures and independence Oh! Lord of tho air, 1 am as free as Thine, I need no wings, nor even spine. I rise in the morn with conscience clear; No bygone promise need I fear. I brook no master, not even you, Unless, of course, it paid me to, Whatever I was, it matters not, For you and all can go to pot; From groat men I claim descendance, But all I want is independence. I am, etc., “FREE AIR.” Marton, Nov. 24.
