A CAUSTIC CRITIC.
The Rev. A. B. G. Lillingston, vicar of Holy Trinity, Hull, speaking on New Zealand, which he recently visited, said he heard very little of the suffrage question in that country where women had a vote which she used chiefly on phohdbitionist questions. There were no high politics, no international problems, in New Zealand. The political questions there were of a very simple nature. In spite of the vote, however, generally speaking, woman was in New Zealand the drudge and the slave. He had been told that among the maxims of the Labour party .was, "Don't Work too hard. The less work you do the'better, for' then .there will he work for all.". There were,, old-age pensions in New Zealand,- but not for people who had saved any money. It was a colony for young
I men. Stories he had been told of I the treatment of the aged under | Labour laws made it appear to be a 1 crime to be old.
