THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
; AIR COATES’ IMPATIENCE. Air Coates is always asking -for more time for himself and his friends./ He said at Auckland that if his party Lad been returned to power “ the present year' would have seen .its, policy/for developing idle lands/put into effect.” Has Mr Coates forgotten that the Reiformers.j were in power , for 16 and that .all , that time the' country waited for its land policy, and waited! in vain? Yet while he asks 17 long years at the least for the Reformers .to develop a land policy, he assures the country that the United Government has “failed” because in, ..a few short months it has not wholly.reconstructed our public policy and unravelled the tangle into which our. public affairs. have.!fallen/under the guidance of Reform. Adversity often has a chastening- effect, -but evidently it has not yet taught Air Coates the rudiments of logic or off justice. , : —Auckland /“ Star.”
