party than had been possible before.
The Tories are again in control Of
that country, but they have been un-
able to repeal any Of these measures.
They have done great injury by a half

of them. They are doomed to go out
of office for this very reason in the
next election But no group Of peo-
pie strong enough. to think of control
ling the government can be found in
that country who would consent to
the repeal Of any Of these measures.
a Record Never Equaled Anywhere:
Here are some Of the results: Dur.
ing that same 10 years there was not
a single strike in all New Zealand.
The population increased 20 per cent,
the miles Of railways ID per cent, un-
improved land values ii per cent, the
occupied lands 81 per cent, the culti-
waited lands 55per cent, production Of
gold 100 per cent, receipts from rail-
ways "A per cent, the number Of cat
tie As per cent, imports As per cent,
exports Is per cent and improvements
on the land So per cent. And all this
during the COS, the, very years when
all the world besides was struggling
in the throes Of depression and disaster.
1 All the world heard Of these pro-
gressive measures. All the world be-

Schenectady, N. Y; in Minneapolis,
MINI, under political parties control
led by labor, and in North Dakota un-
der the Nonpartisan league, so far as
state or municipal government can
effect changes, the administrative
work Of parties controlled by labor
everywhere Immediately made an end
to the use Of the police, the militia and
the courts and prisons, as a means Of
