"CALLOUS AND COLDBLOODED."
Tlie New Zealand limes, which •really excels itself in it? de/ T uinci;i f -»»-v methods, recently described the Government as "callous and cold blo<xter" because it proposed 'installing automatic telephones to "take away the employment of a large number of girls." This indictment is really too humorous for words. The "Times" would probably have us wipe motor cars, and .steam ploughs, and shearing machines, and linotypes, and milking machines, and sewing machines, and all other devices that make for the economising of labour, clean off the face of the earth. It is a fine doctrine, indeed, a doctrine which, if . preached by any other paper .but the New Zealand Times, would cause people to blush for very shame. The Times, however, provokes hilarity rather than blushes, and th. 1 ? moro furious its denunciation the more fun does it provide. If ,rtiis is the order of "Liberalism, ' then there" is little wonder that even Social-Democrats will have none of it.
