THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Ainu lira In Mm.uontNK. It is still diir.eult to believe that the disorders in Melbourne are not a had dream. If we had been told a week ago that three-quarters of a million British people li.-ot nothing between them and anarchy but. a thin line <>r police we should have called ill a psycho-analyst. The one thing that we have all known about ourselves is that we are law-abiding. The Englishman argues, growls, threatens, and ib.cn goes home quietly to bed : a mercenary Icl low, a muddler, a man who insists oii taking his pleasures sadly, hut a man who leaves the blocks in the pavement and the goods behind the windows. In short, we have nursed the belief that wo are civilised, but it is with a desperate effort that we stili cling to it. —Christchurch “Press."
