The Catholic Congress Wo direct the special attrition of persons intending to proceed to the Catholic Congress to the article on the subject that follows tiiese Notes, and especially to the concluding paragraphs. White and Brown Tohungas The newspapers that periodically pcuntl the Maori tehianga with a slug-shot would do well to look to t,heix advertising columns and cleanse them of the annqiiricemants of the vociferous honls of quacks, fortunetellers, ' futfuristis,' ' astro-mfathematicians,' etc. 'We don't know,' s^ays the ' Free Lance,' ' that Uhc tolmnga is a worse evil tihan the pakeha quack. He certainly takes less time to kill his victim. We don't kfciow eitiher whether t<hc tohunga should be put in gaol before the pakcha quack,, or wit«h him.
