Description: Shows a confrontation on a country road, between a minister wielding a quill pen at left, and a plump military gentleman on horseback wielding a sword at right. The minister has his left foot placed on a large broadsheet entitled: "The truth about Takapau". The person featured are probably the Reverend Fred W Boys and Captain Powles (see "Other notes" below). Reminiscent of the saying: "The pen is mightier than the sword". (Concerning the power of Boys' report to the "Manawatu evening standard"). This cartoon was published in the "New Zealand truth" 23 May 1914, above the title "The harsh and boisterous tongue of war". This published cartoon accompanied letters from a member of the New Zealand military forces, and the Reverend Fred W Boys, concerning Boys' report (published in the Manawatu evening standard") on an incident at Takapau military camp, in late April or early May 1914. In this incident, the mounted police (under Captain Powles - possibly Charles Guy Powles) charged rioting soldiers who were protesting against uncomfortable and wet conditions at the camp (See Warren Bayliss' "Takapau - the sovereign years 1876-1976" (1975), pages 95-96). The "New Zealand truth" also ran a Tom Glover cartoon on 9 May 1914, page 4, entitled "Discipline up-to-date", showing armed police quelling a riot at the camp.
