OUESTIONINGS
BY q. V. WILCOX.

From the morning of chldhood's first gmmer of light
When the senses began to awake,
l have opened the doors found closed in my path,
And have looked into closets and caves.
On, but why the mysteries hidden away,
And the keys completely concealed?
i told l naught but bundle of sin
Wrapped in delicate bands of restraint.
We are fed from the first the promise of truth
We must wait for strength to mature.
Is the truth of the world but a hdeous thing,
Which the strongest alone endure?
Oh, the good little boy questions the rod
Never asks why his path is prescribed.
And the fat little who has grabbed all he can
Feels quite of the beautiful plan
1t is queer how few extra pounds of soft fat
Held in place by buckle and belt,
How few extra shekels and bonds in vault,
How a cushion and soft chair,
How the soul of the barley and fumes of the weed
Make the world all perfection and bliss
superior smile and a curl OF the lips
Seem to say there is nothing amiss.
But the who is caught in the whir of the Wheel
Who is used for end not his own,
Who has harvested thorns with the whitening blooms
Who is playing the gam with his blood,
Will question the riddle of all that he Sees
Will force the sealed lips Of the dumb
Will bring all the monarchs of earth to their knees.
And the answer must have the true ring.

making any effort to better their So
cial conditions"
Dying Fast.
"The natives are living in the same
state, and dying at the same rate, or
probably faster" reports the enumer-
ator for Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupa,
Whakatane and Opotiki. He advises
that competent persons be sent
among the Maoris to advise them on
sanitary matters. There is" he adds,
mo doubt in my mind that the fever
(Which was the cause of so many
deaths) was caused by bad drinking
water, and there is no doubt also that
the cause has not been removed, and
that the epidemic will break out again
shortly and take off another twenty or
thirty of them, and the others will
look on in the same hopeless way and
wonder why. The same kind of thing
is happening periodically in every XII
anga in the district. The high death
rate among infants and children might
also be obviated to a considerable eX-
tent by teaching the Maori mothers
81 how to care for their children. The
race is dying, and all that can be done
now is to make things as easy as pos
sible for them by seeing that they
should not suffer from actual hardship
and starvation. They should not be
allowed to waste all their substance

Not so long ago it was common to
see the Maories pointed out as a
growing instead of a dying race
among the Polynesians. But it would
now appear, from the remorseless eyi-
dence of the census takers, that the
aborigine of New Zealand is fast pass
ing. Macaulays New Zealander, who
will sketch the ruins of st. Paul5
from broken arch of London bridge,
is going to be an artist of haole line
age from the southern dominion.
The reports of some Of the enum-
orators engaged in connection with
the taking of the Maori census do not
appear to bear out optimistic views
as to the present position of the ma
tive race, says a wellington paper.
For instance, of Hekianga South, the
enumerator says: 81 regret l cannot
report any improvement in the indus
triousness of the Maoris."
The sub-enumerator for the Kawhia
County says: 81 found no sickness eX
cept at Taharoa kaingas, where there
is a considerable amount at the pres
ent time, ten persons having die
within the last three months. These
settlements own several tohungas
who, in my opinion, help very much
toward making up the death-roll. Gen
orally speaking, the natives appear tC
lie very indolent, not caring to go fa'
from their hangas to seek work.

Fiji had under consideration, when
last mail left Suya, an amendment Of
its liquor law. An insight into some
of its major provisions may be had
from an unfavorable criticism of the
bill in the Western Pacific Herald,
which is in part as follows:
THE bill to be presented at the
next meeting of the legislative coun-
Gil, having for its object the consolida-
ton and amendment of the law relat-
ing to the sale of spirituous liquors,
is not calculated, in its present form,
to earn the plaudits of either the mod
crate drinker or the vendor of liquor
1t may also be condemned by the
teetotal extremist as matter Of
course, because, from his point Of
view, the restrictions are not sutti-
GENTLY stringent. In like manner we
may ignore the opinions of the habi-
tual drunkard, for he also is likely
to be unduly biased, but unfortunate
ly, in the wrong direction,
THE bill under consideration pro
poses to prevent the opening of hotels
until s a. m. and to close them at 10
p. m. This, we think, would be a
hardship in many respects. If it is
admitted that a law-abiding citizen is
entitled to partake of a4coholic liquor
as a refreshment, why should a sea
farlng man, who usually leaves the
port before 8 a. m, be debarred from
indulging a legitimate desire for such
refreshment? And why should the EN-
ploye in a business opening at a. m
be debarred from enjoying his morn

Italys standing army in l9lO-l9ll
numbered approximately 225,O0O men
and $4,000 officers, but a far greater
number could be put in the field in
case of necessity. The Italian navy

ing refreshment? We must face the
fact, whether we regret it or not, that
large number of people, who by no
stretch of the Imagination could be
termed drunkards, consider it their
right to have refreshment prior to
starting work. If tn law says they
can not have it before a. m, it does
not follow that they will do without it.
1t simply means that they will either
resort to the unmanly practice of slip
ping round the corner when their EN-
ployer happens to turn his back, or
to the still more pernicious practice of
employing messengers to smuggle
liquor into the business premises. 1t
is generally admitted, not only by the
public, but by the licensehOlders, that
the hotels should be closed before mid
night; but here again the proposed
alteration is too revolutionary. We
suggest that eleven o'clock would be
a more suitable hour to close, and if
after a trial, it is thought advisable
to change the hour of closing to IL
o'clock, there is nothing to prevent the
government from making the change
If the hour of opening is to be chang
ed, then why not make it 7 o'clock

Raps American Politics.
From the subject of labor the Eng
fish politician switched, after a ques.
ton, to that of American politics.
ut is far from my purpose to malign
the American system of politics. he
began, but from what | hear of all
the corruption and graft in your ma.
ton | am forced to believe that there
is something radically different here
than in my country. We never have
graft inquiries in England. Our meth
DDS of sounding public opinion seem
to eliminate these. Much more atten.
ton in elections is paid to the opinion
of the masses in England than here,
and as a consequence there is less
fault to find with the men in office"

prompted the outcome of the cleo

which Canadians hold that Canadian
tariff reciprocity would result in the
inflix of American trusts in Canadian
industries. The other was an appar-
ent sentiment of loyalty which the
voters seemed to feel when they turn
ed down the treaty. Behind this lat

CHICAGO, Sept. 9O.-John w. Gull
lard, NJ. p, junior lord of the British
treasury and Scottish liberal whip, is
in Chicago today. He had many things
to say. Some of them he told a re-
porter for the Daily News. Others he
sidestepped and may touch upon
when he speaks before the Chicago
Sunday Evening Club tomorrow night.
In a rapid-fire interview he voiced q
drastic scoring of the modern day
labor strike-suggested by the big
walkout of Illinois Central and Harri-
man lines shopmen today-took a
rap at INSCRIPTIONS politics and
lodged a discussion of the Italian
Turkish embroglio.
Railway strikes and all other labor
difficulties that result in a general
walkout are a relic of barbarism," he
said emphatically. "a strike is the
most primitive method of settling an
| industrial dispute. The time is near
at hand when strikes will be I'M
| known"
Calls Big Stick Deplorable.
"The railway strike which was call.
ed today is deplorable," he added.
THE strike is the big problem that all
countries are facing today"
There is little excuse for strike il
the square deal attitude of employer
to workman would be assumed. Mast
er refusing to meet employee will soon
be a thing of the past l believe in
giving the workman a chance. The
plan, proved successful by Lord
George in my country during the great
railway strike, am convinced, is
typical Of the future method of cop
ing with similar problems. Arbitration
councils operating under the eye of the
country's government will soon be the
