THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Fito.M Dnvir, To Saint. There was a time when William Pember Beeves was one of the best bated men in Now Zealand. Ho was then the Ramsay MacDonald of the Dominion. A man of culture ami ability who had deliberately cast in his lot with the proletariat, and was out to improve the condition of the masses. His congeners were Grey, Balhmee, Seddon, Ward. M’Kenzie and others, who were described as “the seven devils of Socialism.” For over twenty years they ruled New Zealand. They inaugurated a policy of progress ifrfldly socialistic we must admit—hut when the inevitable change took place and a paletint Conservative Government came into power not one of th Liberal measures was repealed or materially altered. So much for “the seven devils !” —Spectator.
