That Missing 'Code '

The Napier ' Daily Telegraph ' still refuses to place its missing ' code of morals ' on exhibition. The ' code ' is much safer where it is— under lock and key and jealously guarded night and day. If it appeared in the open, we would strike it at a pretty high velocity. After adverse criticism had done with it its condition would, we rather think, be akin to that, of am anvmal that Locoonot-ivetStephenson referred to when asked what would happen if it came into collision with a moving train': 'So much the waur for the coo.' On July 3we forwarded another pointed challenge to the ' Telegraph ' to produce the mysterious ' code ' that damns as ' a .great moral evil ', ' a oursc and a crime ' every form of resort to the arbitrament of lot or chance.
