OUR READERS’ OPINIONS.

THE MOTOR HOG

(TO THE EmTOH.J Sir, —Would you kindly allow me space in the “Times” to protest against .. the inconsiderate attitude of the “motor hog.” I speak for others as well a.- myself, and we would like to inform these people that they are not the monopolists of the road. It would be a good thing if some method were adopted to compel them to keep to the right side of the road, and it would also be v eil when one of these motor hogs appears before the bench that he is made a salutary example oF The pectestrian and the equestrian are not entitled to either side of the load since taxis and motors came to Gisborne. Unless we can get more consideration in this, matter,_ a deputation will await on Senior Sergt. Hutton and demand some sense of satisfaction.—l am, etc., “NOT INSURED.” A LESSON WITH A MORAL. CTO THE EDITOR.! Sir,—Your little soliloquy on your evening contemporary’s changed attitude on political questions was very touching: I would myself give half-a-crown to know what our member Mr MacDonald thinks about it all. If my memory serves me right, the “Herald” was inciting him only a few months ago to make a tour of the North Island in opposition to the present Government. And now everything about the Massey party is lovely. Truly we live in very changeable time's. There is now according to your contemporary no reason for Mr MacDonald or anybody else to declare against the Reform party. How small our meml’er lias been made to look. It can give him no heart to fight for his principles.—Yours, etc., TE KARAKA.
