A socialist lecturer in Wellington recently made, says the New 'Zealand Times, a long statement about “man being the only animal that lived under a competitive system, all the*others being communal, and therefore happy”—leaving the impression that lions, tigers, grizzly bears, and rattlesnakes existed under the most delightful relations with one another.
